66With a conventional clutch, increased lining wear
causes the angle of the actuating diaphragm
spring to change as the pressure plate moves
axially towards the engine, requiring a greater
force to operate the clutch (diaphragm actuating
force varies with diaphragm angle). The self
adjusting clutch eliminates the problem by
allowing the diaphragm spring to follow the axial
movement of the pressure plate thus maintaining
the diaphragm spring at the same angle
throughout the life of the clutch. As well as
maintaining a constant pedal pressure, the clamp
force on the pressure plate also remains constant
with wear.
The operation is shown in the diagram. The
diaphragm spring is not fixed at its rotation point
like the conventional system but pivots between a
sensor spring and an adjuster ring. The sensor
spring provides a counter force which is just
sufficient to retain the diaphragm spring axially
against the cover via the adjuster ring and during
normal actuation of the clutch. As the linings
wear, the tendency of the diaphragm angle to
change causes an increase in the actuation force
required to operate the clutch. When this
increased effort exceeds the counter force of the
sensor spring, the diaphragm spring moves axially
towards the pressure plate until the original angle
is restored. At this point the actuation force
required drops to the level of the opposing sensor
spring force, restoring equilibrium with the
diaphragm spring at its new location.
During the axial movement of the diaphragm
spring, the increased distance between the spring
and cover is taken up by the adjuster ring. This
ring has fifteen raised segments, each having a
ramp profile which fits into a corresponding
shape in the clutch cover. When the diaphragm
spring moves axially for wear compensation,
three pre-loaded coil springs in the clutch cover
cause the adjuster ring to rotate, moving up the
ramps and taking up the extra distance between
the diaphragm spring and clutch cover.
Note that, in operation, the adjuster ring rotates
in a clockwise direction, as viewed from the
transmission. If a worn driven plate is replaced in
service and the clutch cover assembly is to be re-
used, the adjuster ring must be rotated back to its
pre-loaded position (see JTIS service instructions).

Concentric Hydraulic Cylinder
The clutch diaphragm spring is operated directly
by a slave hydraulic cylinder located
concentrically about the transmission input shaft.
This system eliminates the need for a release lever
mechanism and improves operating efficiency.

Clutch Pedal Assembly
The clutch pedal is mounted on a combined
assembly with the brake pedal. The clutch master
cylinder is directly actuated by the pedal and
shares a common reservoir with the brake system.
An assistor spring is fitted to the clutch pedal to
reduce the actuation load.
Operation of the pedal when in cruise control
mode activates a switch which cancels this mode.

Powertrain ManagementAJ-V6/AJ28

Introduction
All powertrain and associated management
functions are controlled from a single unit, the
powertrain control module (PCM). These
functions are as follows:
¥ overall monitoring and control of
performance, fuel economy, emissions,
driveability and safety
¥ receives and processes direct inputs from
engine, transmission, fuel system and
ancillary systems sensors
¥ provides direct control of actuator devices
¥ communicates with other modules via the
SCP bus (eg to obtain wheel speed
information)
¥ provides system diagnostics to conform to
OBDII requirements.
Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
The basic PCM is common to the V6 and V8
engines but with unique programming to suit the
respective engine characteristics and some
differences in the interface circuits for the
different sensors and actuators.
The PCM is located below the LH or RH mounted
A/C evaporator/blower unit and has a single
connector panel which protrudes through the
forward bulkhead into the engine bay.
The PCM has three connectors:
¥ a 60 pin connector which provides the
interfacing with the engine wiring harness:
carries engine mounted sensor inputs and
output control signals
¥ a 32 pin connector which carries the
transmission sensing and control signals and
also the rear HO2 sensor inputs
¥ a 58 pin connector which carries non engine
mounted sensor and actuator signals and
provides the PCM link to the SCP bus.
Powertrain Sub-Systems
Brief descriptions of PCM control of new
subsystems are given in the relevant engine and
transmission sections (electronic throttle,
returnless fuel etc).
