STEERING
57-6 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Tilt adjustment
The column tilt adjuster lever mechanism is located on the LH side of the steering column and allows the upper column
tube, nacelle and steering wheel assemblies to be tilted up or down a maximum of 7.5° or 47 mm (NAS vehicles have
a smaller range of movement than the ROW vehicles).
The pawl of the mechanism is attached to the lower column and is allowed to pivot, a toothed quadrant is fixed to the
upper column tube.
When the lever on the LH side of the steering column is raised the mechanism releases the pawl from the toothed
quadrant, this allows the column to be moved. When the lever is released two return springs pull the pawl into
engagement with the toothed quadrant.
Steering column lock (All except NAS)
The steering column lock houses the ignition switch, ignition illumination light ring, key lock barrel and the alarm
passive coil. The steering lock is attached to the upper column with two shear bolts. The bolts are tightened to a
torque which shears off the heads of the bolts preventing easy removal of the steering lock.
The steering lock operates by a bolt, which emerges when the ignition key is turned to position 'O' and the ignition key
removed. The bolt engages in a lock collar located on the upper shaft in the upper column tube. The lock collar is
attached to the upper shaft by a 'wave form' interference ring. If a high torque is applied via the steering wheel with
the lock engaged, the lock collar will slip on the upper shaft. This prevents damage to the steering lock, yet still
prevents the vehicle from being driven.
Steering column lock (NAS only)
The steering column lock houses the ignition switch, ignition illumination light ring, key lock barrel and the alarm
passive coil. The steering lock is attached to the upper column with two shear bolts. The bolts are tightened to a
torque which shears off the heads of the bolts preventing easy removal of the steering lock.
The steering column lock operates by a bolt, which emerges when the ignition key is turned to position 'O' and the
ignition key removed. The bolt engages in a groove machined into the upper shaft in the column tube.
Steering wheel
The steering wheel comprises a cast centre and wire frame onto which the soft polyurethane foam is moulded. The
steering wheel is located on the upper column shaft by a spline and is secured with a nut. A remote radio control switch
(if fitted) is located on the LH side of the steering wheel, a cruise control switch may be located on the RH side. Horn
switches are located on each side of the centre of the steering wheel and protrude through the airbag module cover.
Both switches are connected by wires to the rotary coupler connector.
Intermediate shaft
One end of the intermediate shaft is attached to the steering column lower shaft by a splined universal joint and a bolt,
the universal joint is part of a rubber coupling assembly. The rubber coupling assembly is covered by a heat shield
and connects to the lower section of the intermediate shaft via a decouple joint. The rubber coupling reduces the
shocks felt by the driver through the steering wheel. A second universal joint on the other end of the intermediate shaft
is held in by a bolt. The universal joint is splined and engages with the splined rotor (input) shaft of the steering box.
The decouple joint consists of a metal plate that has open ended slots, the plate is bolted through the slots into the
other half of the decouple joint. The top half of the decouple joint has a slot that accepts the lower section of the
intermediate shaft. The slotted metal plate clamps the lower section of the intermediate shaft to the top section. An
indicator clip is installed between the slotted metal plate and the top half of the decouple joint.
If the intermediate shaft is compressed in an accident, the slotted metal plate in the decouple joint will disengage if
sufficient force is applied to the front end of the shaft. If the forces involved do not disengage the shaft, the red
indicator clip located in the decouple joint will break off if the shaft moves. The intermediate shaft cannot be repaired
and must be replaced as an assembly if accident damage occurs.

64-12 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Description - SLS
General
The Self Levelling Suspension (SLS) system is an optional fitment and comprises an Electronic Control Unit (ECU),
air supply unit, two air springs and two height sensors. The SLS system only operates on the rear suspension and is
designed to keep the vehicle level to compensate for uneven loads or when towing. The system controls the gap
between the chassis and the rear axle to a tolerance of ± 0.5 mm (0.02 in). The ride height of the rear of the vehicle
can be controlled in three modes of operation; normal ride height, Off-Road Mode (ORM) and extended mode. A
transportation mode, initiated using TestBook, is also available for moving the vehicle on a trailer.
The system is controlled electronically by an ECU which is shared with the ABS system and known as the Self
Levelling and Anti-Lock Braking System (SLABS) ECU. The system operates by using an air supply unit to inflate or
deflate the air springs to maintain a constant ride height.
An accessory remote handset is available to remotely operate the SLS system to allow easier connection and
disconnection of trailers.
Two SLS system warning lamps are located in the instrument pack. The warning lamp in the bottom left corner of the
instrument pack is the SLS warning lamp. If a fault is detected in the system, the warning lamp will illuminate
continuously in an amber colour. The warning lamp also flashes in an amber colour when the remote handset is being
used. The second warning lamp, located in the top right of the instrument pack is the ORM warning lamp. When ORM
is selected the warning lamp is continuously illuminated in an amber colour. When the SLS is between standard ride
height and ORM or in extended mode, the warning lamp will flash. Standard ride height, measured between the tip of
the axle bump stop rubber and the axle, is 61.5 mm (2.42 in). ORM ride height, measured between the tip of axle
bump stop and the axle, is 100 mm (3.93 in).
A switch is located in the group of six switches on the fascia and is used to select the ORM. The switch is non-latching
and must be depressed for a minimum of 0.5 seconds to signal the ECU that ORM has been requested.

REAR SUSPENSION
64-18 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
When SLS compressor operation is required, the ECU provides a battery supply to energise the SLS relay located in
the engine compartment fusebox. When the relay contacts close, a 12 V supply passes through fusible link 9 in the
engine compartment fusebox, through the relay contacts and operates the air supply unit compressor. The ECU will
then supply power to operate one or both air control valve solenoids and/or the exhaust valve solenoid to inflate or
deflate the air springs as required. The compressor does not need to be powered to deflate the air springs.
The ECU also controls the operation of the SLS audible warning, the SLS warning lamp and the ORM warning lamp.
When the ignition is switched to position II, the ECU performs a three second bulb check and illuminates the SLS and
ORM warning lamps in the instrument pack to check for operation. When the system is operating or a fault is sensed
by the ECU, the ECU will operate the appropriate warning lamp and audible warning as required. The audible warning
is operated by the Body Control Unit (BCU) when it receives a signal from the SLABS ECU. The audible warning is
emitted from a speaker at the rear of the instrument pack.
Depressing the ORM switch for a minimum of 0.5 seconds, completes an earth which the ECU uses as a signal to
initiate the ORM if conditions allow. When the ECU starts ORM, the same earth that was completed by the ORM
switch is pulled to earth by the ECU to activate the ORM warning lamp. The ECU checks for a further operation of the
ORM switch by continuously and very quickly removing the earth for the ORM warning lamp. If the ORM switch is
operated for more than 0.5 seconds, the ECU will detect this and de-activate the ORM.
The SLS part of the SLABS ECU also uses the road speed data generated within the SLABS ECU by the ABS system.
Operation of ORM and extended mode are road speed sensitive and use the ABS signal to monitor the vehicle speed.
When the accessory remote handset is used for the SLS lower and raise functions, the handset transmits RF signals
which are received by the same RF receiver used for the alarm/remote door locking system. The RF receiver passes
this data as a 25 Hz PWM signal to the BCU. The BCU then transmits this data to the SLABS ECU as raise or lower
data. TestBook is required to program the BCU for remote handset operation.

The SLS system is active when the ignition switch is in position II, when one or more doors are open and for up to
thirty minutes after all doors have been closed. If the rear axle is articulated by more than 100 mm (3.93 in), the ECU
will not activate the SLS system.
The air supply unit compressor will only operate to raise the rear of the vehicle when the engine is running, with the
exception of the remote handset operation which does not require the engine running. Three modes of SLS operation
are available; Normal Ride Height, Off-Road Mode (ORM) and Extended Mode. A fourth mode, transportation mode,
is programmed by TestBook for transport or recovery of the vehicle on a trailer.
Normal ride height
When the vehicle is stationary, a door is open and the ignition is off, the SLS system will allow the rear of the vehicle
to lower to within 20 mm of the normal ride height as load is removed from the vehicle. The SLS system will only
operate the compressor to raise the rear of the vehicle when the engine is running, unless requested using the remote
handset.
