Hydraulic System

Op
erating Principle
The rot
ary motion of the steering wheel is converted, via the st
eering rack pinion, to the lateral motion of the rack. Steering
assistance is provided by pressurized fluid being directed against a piston operating within the rack cylinder. Rack
movement is achieved by diffe rential pressures being applied on either si de of the rack piston, caused by unequal
restrictions within the hydraulic control valve.
The main components of the hydraulic control valve are the rota ry distributor, control sleeve and hydraulic reaction piston.

A
quick-fit connector with double O-ring se
als is incorporated in the return line and is clipped to the right-hand chassis side

The rotary distri
butor and control sleeve turn relative to ea
ch other, forming the unequal restrictions which create the
differential pressures to operat e the rack piston; the displacement of the di stributor and sleeve being controlled by the
elastic deformation of a torsion bar which is concentric with the pinion and valve. Refer to Positive Center-Feel Torsion Bar
in this sub-sectio n.
The hydraulic reaction piston moves axially, relative to th e rotary distributor, and is connected to the control sleeve by a
three-bearing helical screw. Pressure applied either side of the hydraulic reaction piston is translated into a rotational force
which increases steering effort. For detail s of Servotronic speed-sensitive steering control, refer to Servotronic Control in
this sub-section.
When the vehicle is travelling straight ah ead, the valve restrictions are balanced, thus providing equal pressures on either
side of the rack piston. When load is a pplied at the steering wheel, the two halves of the control valve (rotary distributor
and control sleeve) are displaced making the restrictions unequa l. The resulting differential pressures on either side of the
rack piston, assist the steering rack to mo ve to left or right. As the turning load is removed, the pressures equalize again
and the steering return s to the straight ahead position , aided by suspension geometry.
Serv
otronic Control

P a
rts List
The Servotronic system provides steering assistance which is pr oportional to vehicle speed. It comprises the steering control
module, and Servotronic valve forming part of the hydraulic control valve assembly.
The Servotronic valve is an electro-hydrauli c device with a variable orifice, which varies in size according to the position of a
needle valve. The needle valve is controlled by a solenoid in response to a variable current input from the steering control

modul
e. This regulates the fluid flow
through the hydraulic control valve, wh ich determines the amount of steering
assistance.
Steering Control Module
The steering control
module re
ceives the vehicle speed from the instrument cluster and outputs the corresponding current
values to the Servot ronic valve. At parking speeds, wh en maximum assistance is required , the current is at its maximum
value of 854 mA and the valve is closed. As the vehicle speed increases, the current progressively decreases to its minimum
value of 15 mA and the valve opens in sma ll increments. This results in an increasing amount of hydraulic pressure being
applied to the reaction piston, making the steering feel more precise and responsive.
The rate of progression and shape of the characteristic between parking and high speed operation, is determined by the
algorithm within the steering control module, and is matched to each suspension variant within the vehicle range.

E
ngine Management System Components
Electronic Throt
tle
The
electronic throttle assembly, in resp
onse to signals from both the driver and the ECM, adjusts idle speed, sets the
throttle valve to the position requested by the driver's accelerator / throttle pedal, cruise and traction control, power
limitation and catalyst warm-up.
Mass
Air Flow Meter
The sensor i
s located in the air flow mete
r assembly and outputs an analogue voltag e to the ECM. This sensor measures air
flow into the engine inlet system and is calibrated to measure kg / hour.
In
take Air Temperature
Th
e intake air temperature sensor is loca
ted in the air flow meter assembly and outputs an analogue voltage to the ECM.
The ECM will substitute a default value eq ual to 50°C should this sensor fail.
Fuel Injectors
The eigh
t bottom fed fuel injectors are located in the fuel rails. Th
e fuel injectors are electromagnetic solenoid valves
controlled by the ECM. The pulse time for the injector combined with the fuel pr essure determines the volume of fuel
injected to the manifold.
Fue
l Delivery
The fu
el pump provides fuel to the fuel rail where the circulat
ing pressure is controlled by a pressure regulator valve; excess
fuel is returned to the fuel tank.
The pressure regulator valve is controlled by manifold depression so that fuel delivery pressure is maintained at
approximately 3 bar above manifold pressure.
Fuel Pump
Relay
The ECM controls thi

s component for normal
engine running. The security system may disable this relay via communication
with the ECM.
Fuel Lev
el Sensing
The tank fuel

is measured by the fuel le
vel sensor . This signal is used by the ECM as an in put to certain diagnostics.
Eva
porative Valve
Excess vapour

formed in the fuel tank is
absorbed into the evaporative emission pu rge control canister. While the engine is
running, the fuel absorbed in the canister is gradually purged back into the engine. The rate of purging is governed by
engine operating conditions and vapour concentration level. Operating conditions which affect the purge rate are:

oop fuelling
Determination of the vapour concentration is made by stepped opening of the EVAP valve and subsequent monitoring of the
fuelling correction. This function is performed prior to purging, so that at the onse t of purging the EVAP valve can be set to
the optimum position. Should the ECM be unable to determine the concentration before purging, a default value is
employed, which is then modified whilst purging is in progress.
When the purging process is operational th e ECM modifies the basic fuelling calculation to maintain the correct air / fuel
ratio.
Purging is inhibited during fuel cut-off and stability / traction control intervention.
Coolant Temperature Sen
sor
Th
e
sensor outputs a voltage to the ECM which decreases as temperature increases.
Cooling Fans


In response to engi
ne coolant temperat
u
re and climate control system demand, the ECM will energize the cooling fans.
Climate Control Compressor
The E
C
M will allow the compressor clutch to be engaged if th
e engine temperature and load demand are normal. Should the
driver require maximum engine powe r or the coolant temperature be high, the request will be denied.
Cranking Signal

The ECM reacts to a signal fr
om th
e Body Processor Module (BPM) when the starter motor relay is energi
zed. This signal is
used to trigger starting, fu el and ignition strategies.
Engine Speed and Cranksh
aft Position
Engine
speed and cran
k position are moni
tored by a sensor which is mounted on the cylinder block (flywheel housing)
behind the crankshaft drive plat e. It indicates rotational speed to the ECM in the form of 12 pulses per crank revolution.
Engine speed is used for synchronization of fuel an d ignition systems, as well as other functions.
Camshaft Position
The ca
mshaft position sensor is mounted at
the rear of Bank 2 cylinder head on the inlet side and provides one signal every
720 degrees of crankshaft rotation. The signal, in conjunction with the signal from the crankshaft position sensor, indicates
to the ECM that the piston of cylinder 1A is approaching TDC on the compression stroke.
Variable Valve
Timing (Where Fitted)
By energi
si
ng a solenoid to allow the pass
age of pressurized oil on each of the inle t camshaft drives, the ECM can vary by a
single stepped amount, the relati ve timing of the inlet valves.
Ign
ition
Ignit
i
on spark is produced by
individual on-plug coil units.
There are two ignition amplifiers; module #1 drives coils 1A, 2B, 3B and 4A, whilst module #2 drives coils 1B, 2A, 3A and
4B. The ECM controls the amplifiers.
