Engine Speed Sensitive
This means that the vibration occurs at varying
vehicle speeds when a different transmission gear
is selected. It can sometimes be isolated by
increasing or decreasing engine speed with the
transmission in NEUTRAL or by stall testing with
the transmission in gear. If the condition is engine
speed sensitive, the cause is probably not related
to the tires.
If the road test indicates that there is tire whine,
but no shake or vibration, the noise originates with
the contact between the tire and the road surface.A thumping noise usually means that the tire is flat
or has soft spots making a noise as they slap the
roadway. Tire whine can be distinguished from axle
noise. Tire whine remains the same over a range
of speeds.
A complete road test procedure is described in
Section 100-04.
REFER to:
Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH)
(100-04 Noise, Vibration and Harshness,
Diagnosis and Testing).

HCU to check for sudden actuation of the brakes.
With the brake pedal pressed, the ABS module
triggers emergency braking if the rate of increase
of hydraulic pressure exceeds the predetermined
limit.
If the brake pedal is pressed so hard that the ABS
becomes active on the front wheels then the ABS
control unit increases the pressure to the rear
wheel brakes up to the ABS intervention threshold.
EBA operation continues until the driver releases
the brake pedal sufficiently for the hydraulic
pressure in the HCU to drop below a threshold
value stored in the ABS module.
Trailer stability control:If the vehicle is ordered
with a trailer coupling then the Trailer Stability
Control function is integrated in the ESP. The ESP
detects snaking when driving with a trailer and
reduces the speed of the vehicle and trailer through
adapted braking and, if necessary, by also reducing
the engine output until the snaking movement of
the trailer is corrected.
Roll-over protection: The ESP dynamically
determines the tipping tendency of the vehicle and
works in conjunction with the EBA system to
prevent the vehicle from tipping over during
dynamic maneuvers like lane changing or while
negotiating bends.
Emergency brake light: The emergency brake
light automatically switches on the hazard flasher
system to warn drivers of other vehicles that
emergency braking is being initiated. Based on a
defined delay value, the ABS/ESP module sends
a signal to the generic electronic module (GEM)
via the CAN data bus. The GEM activates the
hazard flasher system, that then flashes 7 times.
Prerequisites for activation of the emergency brake
light are:
• The speed is higher than 50 km/h.
• The brake pedal is being actuated.
• The deceleration is greater than 9 m/s².
To prevent activation on snow or ice, for example,
the following prerequisites must be met:
• The speed is higher than 50 km/h.
• The brake pedal is being actuated.
• ABS regulation takes place.
• The deceleration is greater than 6 m/s².
Tire pressure monitoring system: The tire
pressure monitoring system used in the Kuga is
able to detect loss of air in a tire at an early stage
and warn the driver. Because it can only compare
the behaviour of the tyres with each other, it is not possible to draw conclusions about the absolute
tyre pressure. It is also not possible to monitor the
spare tyre pressure. In order for the system to
operate correctly, the tyre pressures must be
regularly checked and corrected and the system
subsequently initialised (see below).
The tire pressure monitoring system used here,
depending on the equipment level, is built into the
anti-lock braking system (ABS) as an extra function
and therefore does not have its own sensors.
The ABS module measures the loss of pressure
in the tyres by calculation using the wheel speed
sensors of the ABS system. If a tyre loses
pressure, its diameter decreases and the speed of
the wheel therefore increases. If the ABS module
detects such a loss in pressure, it sends a signal
to the instrument cluster via the CAN bus and a
warning message is displayed in the message
centre. The warning threshold depends among
other things on the dimension of the tyres being
used, the vehicle operating conditions and the
status at the last initialisation. Since neither the
absolute tyre pressure nor the position of the tyre
is known, the pressure of all the tyres must be
checked and the system re-initialised after a tyre
pressure warning. If necessary, the cause of the
loss of pressure must be investigated.
Regular tyre pressure checks are still necessary.
The system must be initialised after a tyre is
changed, winter or summer tyres fitted, the
pressures corrected or adjusted to suit the vehicle
load. This can be done by the driver using the
driver information system. For further information,
see: Owner’s Manual.

In an ignition system with coil-on-plug ignition coils,
each cylinder is actuated individually and only once
per cycle (working stroke). The coil-on-plug ignition
coils are mounted directly on the spark plugs,
therefore no ignition cables are required between
the ignition coils and the spark plugs.
Each individual ignition coil is actuated on the
low-voltage side by the PCM. The power
end-stages are incorporated into the coil-on-plug
ignition coils. Only the actuating current for these
power end-stages is controlled by the PCM.
Fuel pressure/fuel temperature sensor
E73531
The fuel pressure/fuel temperature sensor is a
combination of two sensors, one for the fuel
absolute pressure and one for the fuel temperature.
The sensors register the fuel values in the fuel
injection supply manifold. The sensor is supplied
with a 5V voltage by the PCM.
The fuel pressure sensor is a piezoresistor and
works using an analog signal. The change in output
voltage mirrors the change in pressure in the fuel
rail. If the pressure is low, the output voltage is also
low.
The fuel temperature sensor is an NTC resistor.
When the fuel pressure/fuel temperature sensor is
disconnected, the resistance of the fuel
temperature sensor between connections 1 and 2
of the sensor can be measured.

The boost control solenoid valve is a 2/3-way valve
that is actuated with a PWM signal. This allows the

Power (battery voltage) is supplied via the
Powertrain Control Module relay in the BJB. The
solenoid coil resistance is around 23 ohms at 20°

When inspecting connectors, remember that the
plugs may only be disconnected when they are not
energized.
The transaxle electronics may be destroyed by
static charge. To prevent damage, it must be
ensured that the technician complies with the
corresponding safeguards.
NOTE: Refer to the service literature for an exact
description of these safeguards.
Towing the vehicle
E66463
In general, vehicles with the AW55 transaxle can
be towed. Vehicles must never be towed
backwards.
As a result of the reduced lubrication of the
transaxle during towing, the following must be
remembered:
• The selector lever must be in the 'N' position.
• The maximum towing speed must not exceed 50 km/h.
• The maximum towing distance must not exceed 50 kilometers.
Push-starting the Vehicle
No torque is transmitted when towing or pushing
the vehicle. For this reason, vehicles with an
automatic transaxle cannot and must not be
tow-started or push-started.
Jump-starting the Vehicle
CAUTION: When jump-starting the vehicle
using a jumper lead there may be voltage
peaks. These may destroy the transaxle
electronics.
NOTE: When jump-starting the vehicle, the external
battery must remain connected for several minutes.
The voltage peaks dissipate after a few minutes.
Only then may the external battery be disconnected
without the risk of damage.

Selector lever with integrated select-shift
switch module
E112332
The selector lever unit is located in the central
console. It is mechanically connected to the
transmission by a selector cable which moves the
gear selector shaft in the TR sensor.
The following components are integrated in the
selector lever assembly:
• Select-shift switch module
• Selector lever lock solenoid.
• Switch contact for selector lever position 'P'
• LED for the selector lever position display
The selector lever has the following positions:
• P: Park position
• R: Reverse gear.
• N: Neutral position
• D: Automatically shift between all gears
• S: Sport and select-shift mode (manual gearchanging)
If the selector lever is not in the 'P' position when
the vehicle is exited, a signal is transmitted to the
instrument cluster via the switch contact for selector
lever position 'P'. When the driver door is opened,
a message to move the selector lever to the 'P'
position appears in the instrument cluster and the
warning buzzer sounds. The vehicle cannot be
electrically locked if the selector lever is not moved
to the 'P' position.

Overview of the select-shift switch module
E112331
The select-shift switch module is located on the
upper trim of the selector lever unit. The module
is supplied with power by the TCM.
It uses the LIN databus to interact with the TCM,
for instance to activate the selector lever position
display.
It allows the automatic transmission gears to be
changed up and down manually via the signals of
the Hall sensors.
The select-shift switch module detects the selector
lever position 'P' and 'S' via the integrated selector
lever position sensors (Hall sensors).
A cable leading from the TCM passes directly to
the select-shift switch module and is used to control
the solenoid of the selector lever lock. The
switching solenoid receives its voltage supply
directly from the module.
In the event of a fault, a signal is transmitted to the
TCM where all DTCs are stored.
