BRAKES
70-20 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Operation
Refer to illustration.
+ BRAKES, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Brake system control diagram.
When the ignition is switched on, the SLABS ECU performs a check of the brake related warning lamps as part of the
power up procedure. The warning lamps are illuminated for approximately 3 seconds and then extinguished. If a fault
warning lamp remains illuminated after the lamp check, a fault has been detected and repair action is required.
ABS
The ABS function prevents the road wheels locking during brake application, thus maintaining vehicle stability even
under emergency conditions.
WARNING: ABS is an aid to retaining steering control and stability while braking:
lABS cannot defy the natural laws of physics acting on the vehicle.
lABS will not prevent accidents resulting from excessive cornering speeds, following another vehicle too
closely, aquaplaning, etc.
lThe additional control provided by ABS must never be exploited in a dangerous or reckless manner
which could jeopardise the safety of driver or other road users.
lThe fitting of ABS does not imply that the vehicle will always stop in a shorter distance.
NOTE: During normal braking the feel of the brake pedal on vehicles equipped with ABS will be the same as that on
non ABS vehicles. During anti-lock braking operation the driver will experience feedback in the form of a pulsating
brake pedal and solenoid/pump motor noise from the ABS modulator.
The anti-lock braking function is automatically enabled whenever the ABS modulator is in the normal braking mode.
While the anti-lock braking function is enabled, if the SLABS ECU detects a wheel decelerating faster than the
average and at the calibrated wheel slip limit for ABS operation, it operates the ABS modulator in the ABS braking
mode for the affected wheel.
EBD
The EBD function optimises the distribution of hydraulic pressure between the front and rear axles, under all vehicle
load configurations and road conditions, to maintain vehicle stability during braking. EBD operates in forward and
reverse and is automatically enabled whenever the ABS modulator is in the normal braking mode at vehicle
deceleration rates of 0.3 g and above (i.e. medium to high brake pedal loads). EBD operation is similar to that of ABS,
but is calibrated to intervene at lower wheel slip limits and operates the brakes in axle pairs instead of individually.
During braking, if the SLABS ECU detects the wheels of one axle going slower than those of the other axle, i.e. a
potential wheel slip situation, it signals the ABS modulator to close the inlet solenoid valve for the brakes of the slower
wheels. This prevents any further increase in hydraulic pressure to those brakes, while allowing the hydraulic pressure
to the brakes on the other axle to increase and so maximise the overall braking effort. If the wheel speeds of the axle
being subjected to EBD control return within the calibrated wheel slip limits, the SLABS ECU signals a stepped
opening of the inlet solenoid valves, which allows a progressive increase of hydraulic pressure to the related brakes.
Operation of EBD is detectable from a stiffening of brake pedal movement as the inlet solenoid valves close and a
slight pulsing of the brake pedal as the inlet solenoid valves open. EBD operation ceases immediately the brake pedal
is released.
The wheel slip limit for EBD operation varies with vehicle speed. During normal operation, the inlet solenoid valves
always operate in axle pairs, with only one axle pair closed at any one time. Since the most lightly loaded wheel during
a braking manoeuvre will usually be the first to reach the slip limit, under most vehicle load configurations and road
conditions EBD control occurs on the trailing axle. However, EBD control can occur on the leading axle or switch
between axles during the braking manoeuvre.

AIR CONDITIONING
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 82-19
Diagnostics
The ATC ECU performs a diagnostic check each time the ignition is switched on. To avoid nuisance fault indications
at low light levels, the sunlight sensor is omitted from the diagnostic check. If a fault is detected, the audible warning
sounds three times and the AUTO window on the control panel display flashes for 20 seconds. The ATC ECU then
reverts to normal control but uses a default value or strategy for the detected fault. Faults are identified by performing
a manual diagnostic check of the system.
A manual diagnostic check includes a check of the sunlight sensor, and is initiated by pressing and holding the AUTO
switch and the air distribution switch, then turning the ignition switch from off to on. The audible warning sounds once
and the indications on the control panel display illuminate. FC is shown in the LH temperature window and the results
of the check are shown as a two digit fault code in the RH temperature window. If a fault is detected, the audible
warning sounds three times and the AUTO window on the display flashes on and off for 20 seconds. If more than one
fault is detected, the fault codes cycle in numerical order, at 1 Hz. The audible warning sounds as each fault code is
shown. In low light conditions, to avoid false sunlight sensor fault indications, the sunlight sensor should be illuminated
with a strong light source.

BODY CONTROL UNIT
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 86-3-1
BODY CONTROL UNIT DESCRIPTION AND OPERAT ION
Description
General
The Body Control Unit (BCU) is located behind the passenger glovebox and is connected to the main harness by four
connectors on its bottom edge and an additional connector located on the side of the BCU casing. Mounting the BCU
behind the fascia makes it reasonably inaccessible for intruders to disable the anti-theft system.
The BCU uses solid-state microprocessor control to perform logical operations and timing functions for a variety of
the vehicle's electrically operated systems, these include:
lDoor locking.
lAnti-theft alarm and immobilisation system.
lExterior lighting including direction indicators and hazard warning lamps.
lCourtesy lighting.
lWipers and washers.
lElectric windows and sunroof.
lHeated windows.
The BCU also communicates with several other electronically controlled systems such as the EAT ECU and SLABS
ECU and also has a datalink between the Intelligent Driver Module (IDM) and the instrument pack. The datalink is a
low speed bus capable of transmitting and receiving messages at a data rate of 10,400 bits per second. Additional
inputs and outputs to peripheral devices are included which are necessary for determining vehicle status for particular
logical operations e.g. crank, ignition key inserted, fuel flap enable etc.
The BCU receives its power supply from the engine compartment fuse box, and is protected by a 10 A fuse.
The BCU communicates with the IDM to provide the control signals to perform power switching operations in
conjunction with dedicated relays.
IDM
The IDM is integrated into the passenger compartment fuse box, which is mounted behind the fascia below the
steering column. There are no harnesses between the fuse box and the IDM. The IDM performs the power switching
operations for several of the vehicle's electrical systems.
The IDM communicates with the BCU and the instrument pack via a serial interface. If the BCU or the IDM is replaced,
the communications link between the two units has to be re-established. This can be done either by switching on the
ignition and leaving it on for five minutes, or by using TestBook. The vehicle immobilisation will remain active until the
communications link between the BCU and IDM has been re-established.
Transit mode
To prevent excessive battery drain during transit to overseas markets, the vehicle is placed in a transit mode. The
following functions are disabled when the vehicle is in transit mode:
lVolumetric sensors.
lPassive immobilisation.
lImmobilisation of the vehicle by use of door lock.
lIgnition key interlock.
lElectric seat enable time-out with driver's door open.
