DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 80-9
FBH fuel pump
The FBH fuel pump regulates the fuel supply to the FBH unit. The FBH fuel pump is installed in a rubber mounting on
the chassis crossmember immediately in front of the fuel tank. The pump is a self priming, solenoid operated plunger
pump, with a fixed displacement of 0.063 ml/Hz. The ECU in the FBH unit outputs a pulse width modulated signal to
control the operation of the pump. When the pump is de-energised, it provides a positive shut-off of the fuel supply to
the FBH unit.

The solenoid coil of the FBH fuel pump is installed around a housing which contains a plunger and piston. The piston
locates in a bush, and a spring is installed on the piston between the bush and the plunger. A filter insert and a fuel
line connector are installed in the inlet end of the housing. A non return valve and a fuel line connector are installed
in the fuel outlet end of the housing.
While the solenoid coil is de-energised, the spring holds the piston and plunger in the 'closed' position at the inlet end
of the housing. An 'O' ring seal on the plunger provides a fuel tight seal between the plunger and the filter insert,
preventing any flow through the pump. When the solenoid coil is energised, the piston and plunger move towards the
outlet end of the housing, until the plunger contacts the bush, and draw fuel in through the inlet connection and filter.
The initial movement of the piston also closes transverse drillings in the bush and isolates the pumping chamber at
the outlet end of the housing. Subsequent movement of the piston then forces fuel from the pumping chamber through
the non return valve and into the line to the FBH unit. When the solenoid coil de-energises, the spring moves the piston
and plunger back towards the closed position. As the piston and plunger move towards the closed position, fuel flows
passed the plunger and through the annular gaps and transverse holes in the bush to replenish the pumping chamber.

INSTRUMENTS
88-6 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The third warning lamp pack is located in the top right-hand side of the instrument pack and contains the following
warning lamps:
lSRS warning lamp.
lSLS off road mode warning lamp.
lTrailer warning lamp.
lGlow plug warning lamp.
lWater in fuel filter warning lamp.
lSeat belt warning lamp.
lTransmission high temperature warning lamp.
The fourth warning lamp pack is located underneath the tachometer of the instrument pack contains the following
warning lamps:
lOil pressure warning lamp.
lAlternator charge warning lamp.
lHDC fault warning lamp.
lSelf Levelling Suspension (SLS) warning lamp.
lActive Cornering Enhancement (ACE) warning lamp.
lGearbox manual/sport mode warning lamps.
The serial communication link is used to allow information to travel to and from the instrument pack, and it provides
the ability to configure the instrument pack to a specific market. It also allows the instrument pack to be controlled by
TestBook for diagnostics.
There are five market specific variants of the instrument pack:
lUnited Kingdom (UK).
lNorth American Specification (NAS).
lCanada.
lAustralia.
lRest Of the World (ROW), Gulf and Japan.
The main difference between the five markets is that the speedometer will indicate road speed in mph as major figures
and km/h as minor figures, km/h as major figures and mph as minor figures or km/h only.
When TestBook is used to diagnose the instrument pack it demands each of the dials and warning lamps to operate
in-turn so a visual check of their operation can be made.
CAUTION: The instrument pack must not be stored on its face side at any time. This is because the dials have
damping fluid within them to ensure smooth operation of the dials' indicator needles. This fluid will leak out.
Speedometer
The speedometer informs the driver of the current vehicle road speed. It has a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) to show
odometer, trip meter and, on automatic gearbox models, the selected gear. The speedometer will not show speeds
of less than 1.5 mph (2.5 km/h).
There are three different market configurations:
lNAS and UK = mph as major figures km/h as minor figures.
lCanada = km/h as major figures mph as minor figures.
lROW and Australia = km/h only.
The Self Levelling and Anti-Lock Brake System (SLABS) ECU provides the signal input for the road speed. The signal
is at 8000 pulses per mile (1.6 kilometres).

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 88-29
Water in fuel filter warning lamp
The water in fuel filter warning lamp within the instrument pack utilises an amber LED and a clear legend. On vehicles
with diesel engines the LED is illuminated when the water sensor detects water is present in the fuel filter, providing
the driver with a visible warning.
When the ignition is switched on, the instrument pack illuminates the LED to provide a self-check, providing there is
no water present in the fuel filter it will remain illuminated for 3 seconds or until the ignition is switched off.
The power input for the LED is supplied by the instrument pack via fuse 27. The water sensor provides the earth path
to illuminate the warning lamp. The voltage on the earth path from the sensor to the instrument pack is as follows:
l< 1.8 volts = warning lamp on.
l> 7.7 volts = warning lamp off.

INSTRUMENTS
88-30 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Water sensor
On vehicles with diesel engines a water sensor is located in the bottom of the fuel filter. The sensor utilises the
different resistance properties between water and diesel fuel to determines the presence of water in the fuel.
The sensor receives a battery voltage supply from the fuel pump relay. The sensor output is supplied to the instrument
pack. The water sensor provides the earth path to illuminate the warning lamp.
l< 1.8 volts = warning lamp on.
l> 7.7 volts = warning lamp off.
