The GEM switches the direction indicators and the
direction indicator side repeaters on.
The GEM sends a signal to the instrument cluster
via the CAN bus to switch on the relevant turn
indicator and the acoustic signal.
The signals from the hazard flasher switch and
from the multifunction switch are transmitted to the
GEM via a wiring connection.
The turn signals and the warning lamp flash at a
specified frequency and, in the case of failure of a
turn signal, the frequency is doubled.
The turn signal lamps also have a one-touch lane
change function. If the multifunction lever is
pressed just slightly then the relevant turn signal
lamp is actuated 3 times by the GEM.

Pressure/temperature sensor

Electric feed pump connection

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.

Drive
The hydraulic fluid is drawn from the sump of the
hydraulic system and directed through a filter. The
feed pump pressurises the system and pumps
hydraulic fluid into the pump plungers. This base
pressure of 4 bar presses the rollers for the pump
plungers against the cam disc. At the same time,
hydraulic fluid flows into the working piston. This
eliminates the play in the clutch plates. The Haldex
clutch can respond quickly and distribute the torque
within fractions of a second. The spring force in
the pressure accumulator determines the base pressure of 4 bar and compensates pressure
fluctuations. A compensating spring works in the
opposite direction and prevents the plate discs
becoming blocked by the force of the working
piston. This restricts the transferable torque to
approx. 7 Nm. This value can, however, deviate
slightly due to temperature and/or the difference
in speed between the input and output shafts.

Front Drive Halfshafts
Inspection and Verification
NOTE:New front wheel drive halfshafts should not
be installed unless disassembly and inspection
reveals unusual wear.
1. Inspect front wheel driveshaft joint boots for evidence of cracks, tears or splits.
NOTE: While inspecting the front wheel driveshaft
CV joint boots, watch for indentations (dimples) in
the boot convolutions. If an indentation is observed,
it must be removed.
2. Inspect the underbody for any indication of grease splatter in the vicinity of the front wheel
driveshaft CV joint boots outboard and inboard
locations, which is an indication of front wheel
driveshaft CV joint boot and/or front wheel
driveshaft CV joint boot clamp damage. 3. Inspect for inboard CV joint stub shaft pilot
bearing housing seal leakage at the front wheel
driveshaft CV joint.
4. Make sure front axle wheel hub retainer is the correct prevailing torque type.
5. The silicone front wheel driveshaft CV joint boot will sweat during operation, causing a light film
of grease to show on the outside of the front
wheel driveshaft CV joint boot. This condition
is normal.
NOTE: Halfshafts are not balanced and do not
contribute to rotational vibration.
6. If the concerns remain after the inspection, determine the symptoms and go to the Symptom
Chart. For additional Noise, Vibration and
Harshness (NVH). REFER to Section 100-04
