FAULT DIAGNOSIS BASE IDLE SPEED SETTING
NOTE: Base idle speed is set at factory. It
should not require further adjustment
unless plenum chamber is changed. The
adjustment screw is sealed with a plug to prevent
unauthorised alteration. Check ignition timing
before attempting following procedure, since this
will affect idle speed.
Equipment required
Two blanking hoses.these are manufactured using
a new air by-pass valve hose - Part No.ETC7874. Cut
two equal pieces 90mm long from hose and seal one
end of each, using 13mm diameter bar. Use a suitable
clamp to ensure an air tight seal.
Checking procedure
1.Drive vehicle at least two miles until engine and
transmission are hot. Switch off engine.
2.Check all electrical loads are OFF, including air
conditioning.
3.Remove air by-pass valve hose.
4.Fit blanking hoses to both plenum chamber and
air by-pass valve. Ensure hoses are securely
fitted to prevent air leaks. Note throttle cable and
cruise control actuator have been omitted from
illustration.5.Start engine and check idle speed is within
limits.
See ENGINE TUNING DATA,
Information, Engine 3.9 v8i
Adjusting base idle speed
6.Drill tamper proof plug and insert a self tapping
screw to enable plug to be extracted.
7.Start engine, adjust idle screw clockwise to
decrease or counter-clockwise to increase idle
speed.
8.Stop engine, remove blanking hoses. Reconnect
hose to plenum.
9.Fit new tamper proof plug.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION System description
The brake system consists of dual hydraulic circuits in
a front - rear split. That is individual circuits to front
and rear axles.
Wheelspeed signals are provided by the fitting of
exciter rings to axles and speed sensors.
An ABS stop light switch is fitted to provide a braking
signal to the ECU as well as operate the stop lights.
Electrical wiring is provided as necessary with system
relays and fuses. Discovery Electrical Troubleshooting
Manual gives the location and wiring circuits of these
components.
Visual warning of system malfunction is provided via a
warning light in the instrument panel.
Hydraulic circuit ABS
Key
A = Primary hydraulic circuit
B = Secondary hydraulic circuit
C = Pressure reducing valve
D = ABS ModulatorABS System operation
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 ABS cycling the driver
will experience feedback in the form of a pulsating
brake pedal and solenoid/pump motor noise from the
Modulator.
The system is fully automatic in operation both on and
off road, and will only act when the ECU detects that
ABS cycling is necessary. The ECU continually
monitors the operation of the system.
When starting the ABS system will go through a series
of self checks, including a check of the solenoid
valves/pump motor.
WARNING LIGHT
The warning light will be on during the self check
(1.3-2 secs). If no faults are stored in the memory the
light goes out for 0.5sec,then comes on again. It will
then remain on until the vehicle is driven faster than 7
kph/5mph. This is the only time that the light will be on
without indicating a problem.
Any faults detected by the ECU will cause the warning
light to illuminate indicating that the vehicle may not
have full ABS control.

ADJUSTMENT AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM - PERFORMANCE
TEST
WARNING: R134a is hazardous, refer to
the GENERAL PRECAUTIONS given at the
beginning of this section.
Carry out this test with bonnet and doors or windows
open, air conditioning switched on, temperature
control set to cold and blower at maximum speed. Set
the air supply control to supply fresh air.
1.Close low pressure valve on refrigerant station.
2.Close high pressure valve on refrigerant station.
3.Connect a Refrigerant Station to the high and
low pressure servicing connections.4.Insert dry bulb thermometer into cold air outlet
and position dry and wet bulb thermometer close
to outside air inlet.
Do not spill water from the wet thermometer
(psychrometer).
5.Start engine and run it at 1500 rev/min for 10
minutes with air conditioning switched on.
6.Check that sight glass is free of bubbles.
7.Read both pressure gauges and thermometers.
Check readings against table below with
humidity between 60% and 80%. If readings are
incorrect.
See Fault diagnosis, Refrigeration
System Faults.
8.Switch off air conditioning, stop engine,
disconnect test equipment.

ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM TEST
1.Place the vehicle in a ventilated, shaded area
free from excessive draught, with the doors and
windows open.
2.Check that the surface of the condenser is not
restricted with dirt, leaves, flies, etc. Do not
neglect to check the surface between the
condenser and the radiator. Clean as necessary.
3.Switch on the ignition and the air conditioner air
flow control. Check that the blower is operating
efficiently at low, medium and high speeds.
Switch off the blower and the ignition.
4.Check that the evaporator condensate drain
tubes are open and clear.
5.Check the tension of the compressor driving belt,
and adjust if necessary.
6.Inspect all connections for the presence of
refrigerant oil. If oil is evident, check for leaks,
and repair as necessary.
NOTE: The compressor oil is soluble in
Refrigerant R134a and is deposited when
the refrigerant evaporates from a leak.
7.Start the engine.
8.Set the temperature controls to cold and switch
the air conditioner blower control on and off
several times, checking that the magnetic clutch
on the compressor engages and releases each
time.9.With the temperature control at maximum
cooling and the blower control at high speed,
warm up the engine and fast idle at 1000
rev/min. Check the sight glass for bubbles or
foam. The sight glass should be generally clear
after five minutes running, occasional bubbles
being acceptable. Continuous bubbles may
appear in a serviceable system on a cool day, or
if there is insufficient air flow over the condenser
at a high ambient temperature.
10.Repeat at 1800 rev/min.
11.Gradually increase the engine speed to the high
range, and check the sight glass at intervals.
12.Check for frosting on the service valves.
13.Check the high pressure hoses and connections
by hand for varying temperature. Low
temperature indicates a restriction or blockage at
that point.
14.Switch off the air conditioning blower and stop
the engine.
15.If the air conditioning equipment is still not
satisfactory, carry out a pressure test as
previously described in this section.
