Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) – Overview
Description of operation
The tire pressure monitoring system is able to
detect loss of air in a tire at an early stage and warn
the driver. Because it can only compare the
behavior of the tires with each other, it is not
possible to draw conclusions about the absolute
tire pressure. It is also not possible to monitor the
spare tire pressure. In order for the system to
operate correctly, the tire pressures must be
regularly checked and corrected and the system
subsequently initialized (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 determines the loss of pressure
in the tires by calculation using the wheel speed
sensors of the ABS system. If a tire 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 driver information
system. The warning threshold depends among
other things on the dimension of the tires being
used, the vehicle operating conditions and the
status at the last initialization. Since neither the
absolute tire pressure nor the position of the tire is
known, after a tire pressure warning the pressure
of all the tires must be checked and the system
re-initialized. If necessary, the cause of the loss of
pressure must be investigated.
Furthermore, regular pressure checks are
necessary. The system must be initialized after a
tire is changed, winter or summer tires 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.

General overview
Haldex clutches of the 3rd and 4th generations are
used in the Ford Kuga.
The development of the third generation Haldex
clutch represents a big step forward in modern
all-wheel technology. The Haldex clutch is
electro-hydraulically controlled. Additional
information is taken into consideration during
control tasks via the all-wheel drive control unit.
Slip alone is no longer decisive for the distribution
of the propulsive forces; the vehicle's driving
dynamics are also taken into consideration. The
control unit accesses the driving-related data via
the data bus. With this data, the control unit has
all the essential information about speed, cornering,
coasting or traction operation, and can optimally
react to every driving situation.
Compared with the previous generation, the 4th
generation Haldex clutches operate with higher
pressure and achieve shorter response times when
distributing the drive forces.
Advantages of the Haldex clutch:
• Permanent all-wheel drive withelectronically-controlled multi-plate clutch
• Fast response
• No straining when parking and manoeuvring
• Compatible with different tyres (e.g. emergency spare wheel)
• Fully combinable with driving dynamic control systems
The driveshaft is connected to the input shaft of
the Haldex clutch. Within the Haldex clutch, the
input shaft is separated from the output shaft to
the rear axle differential by means of a multi-plate
clutch. Torque is only transmitted to the rear axle
differential when the plate assembly of the Haldex
clutch is closed.
The multi-plate clutch is electro-hydraulically
controlled via the all-wheel drive control unit. For
ecological driving, the torque to the rear axle is reduced to a minimum up to a throttle position of
approx. 50%. A prerequisite for this is that there is
no difference in speed in the Haldex clutch between
the input and output shafts.

Within the Haldex clutch is a plate assembly and
a so-called ring piston pump with a pump plunger
and a working piston.
Fluid supply is started if there is a speed difference
between the input and output shafts.
This fluid pressure is transmitted to the working
piston and in this way the plate assembly is
compressed.

The all-wheel drive control unit is bolted directly to
the housing of the Haldex clutch.
It forms one unit made up of the control valve, a
pressure/temperature sensor, and a control
module. It receives signals from the PCM and from
the ABS control module via the CAN data bus. The
control module in the control unit uses these
signals to determine the fluid pressure that is
needed to actuate the clutch plates depending on
the requirement. This determines how much torque
should be transmitted to the rear wheels. All-wheel
drive is deactivated if a fault occurs in the all-wheel
drive control unit.
A preload of approx. 80 Nm is always present at
the Haldex clutch. The temperature sensor of the Haldex clutch is
installed near the control valve in the control unit
and is surrounded by the hydraulic fluid. The
temperature is transmitted to the control module
and is used for adaptation to the changing viscosity
of the hydraulic fluid. If the hydraulic fluid is cold,
the control valve has to be opened slightly more
than requested. This allowance has to be reduced
as the temperature increases. The normal working
temperature of the hydraulic fluid is between +40
°C and +60 °C. If the temperature rises above 100
°C, the clutch is depressurised; if the temperature
falls below 95 °C, the clutch is pressurised again.
All-wheel drive is deactivated and a diagnostic
trouble code set if a fault occurs in the temperature
sensor.
With Haldex Generations I and II, the control valve
was actuated via a stepper motor. With Haldex
Generation III, the stepper motor has been omitted.
The control valve is now actuated via a solenoid
valve. The solenoid valve is actuated by the control
module in the all-wheel drive control unit by means
of pulse width modulation. The pulse width
modulation determines the position of the
adjustment spindle and thus the opening cross
section of the return hole. This is how the pressure
at the working piston of the plates is determined.
If the return hole is fully closed, maximum pressure
is applied to the plates. If the return hole is fully
open, the plates are unpressurized.
Electric feed pump
The electric feed pump is installed in the clutch
unit. It works according to the gerotor principle.
The main purpose of the feed pump is to fill the
pressure accumulator and the space behind the
pump plunger with hydraulic fluid, thereby ensuring
a fast response time of the Haldex clutch. The feed
pump used in the third generation is designed to
achieve an even higher pressure than the base
pressure of 4 bar. It is supplied with current by the
control module in the all-wheel drive control unit
when the engine is running above approx. 400 rpm.

The electric feed pump is an axial piston pump
which is more robustly designed than the gerotor
pump in the 3rd generation Haldex. The higher
feed pressure means that the ring piston pump at
the clutch plate assembly, the pressure relief
valves, preload valve and the high pressure valves
are no longer necessary.
The pressure accumulator on the 4th generation
Haldex is larger and is designed for the higher
pressure. The 4th generation Haldex has a larger fluid filter
which contains a non-return valve.
The all-wheel drive control unit no longer contains
a pressure sensor in the 4th generation Haldex.
