CORROSION PREVENTION AND SEALING
CORROSION PREVENTION 77-4-7
The checks described above are intended to be visual only. It is not intended that the operator should remove trim
panels, finishers, rubbing strips or sound-deadening materials when checking the vehicle for corrosion and paint
damage.
With the vehicle on a lift, and using an inspection or spot lamp, visually check for the following:
lCorrosion damage and damaged paintwork, condition of underbody sealer on front and rear lower panels, sills
and wheel arches;
lDamage to underbody sealer. Corrosion in areas adjacent to suspension mountings and fuel tank fixings.
NOTE: The presence of small blisters in the underbody sealer is acceptable, providing they do not expose bare metal.
Pay special attention to signs of damage caused to panels or corrosion protection material by incorrect jack
positioning.
WARNING: It is essential to follow the correct jacking and lifting procedures.
With the vehicle lowered, visually check for evidence of damage and corrosion on all visible painted areas, in
particular the following:
lFront edge of bonnet;
lVisible flanges in engine compartment;
lLower body and door panels.
Rectify any bodywork damage or evidence of corrosion found during inspection as soon as is practicable, both to
minimise the extent of the damage and to ensure the long term effectiveness of the factory-applied corrosion
prevention treatment. Where the cost of rectification work is the owner's responsibility, the Dealer must advise the
owner and endorse the relevant documentation accordingly.
Where corrosion has become evident and is emanating from beneath a removable component (e.g. trim panel,
window glass, seat etc.), remove the component as required to permit effective rectification.
Underbody protection repairs
Whenever body repairs are carried out, ensure that full sealing and corrosion protection treatments are reinstated.
This applies both to the damaged areas and also to areas where protection has been indirectly impaired, as a result
either of accident damage or repair operations.
Remove corrosion protection from the damaged area before straightening or panel beating. This applies in particular
to panels coated with wax, PVC underbody sealer, sound deadening pads etc.
WARNING: DO NOT use oxy-acetylene gas equipment to remove corrosion prevention materials. Large
volumes of fumes and gases are liberated by these materials when they burn.
NOTE: Equipment for the removal of tough anti-corrosion sealers offers varying degrees of speed and effectiveness.
The compressed air-operated scraper (NOT an air chisel) offers a relatively quiet mechanical method using an
extremely rapid reciprocating action. Move the operating end of the tool along the work surface to remove the material.
The most common method of removal is by means of a hot air blower with integral scraper.
Another tool, and one of the most efficient methods, is the rapid-cutting 'hot knife'. This tool uses a wide blade and is
quick and versatile, able to be used easily in profiled sections where access is otherwise difficult.
Use the following procedure when repairing underbody coatings:
1Remove existing underbody coatings
2After panel repair, clean the affected area with a solvent wipe, and treat bare metal with an etch phosphate
material
3Re-prime the affected area
CAUTION: DO NOT, under any circumstances, apply underbody sealer directly to bare metal surfaces.
4Replace all heat-fusible plugs which have been disturbed. Where such plugs are not available use rubber
grommets of equivalent size, ensuring that they are embedded in sealer
5Mask off all mounting faces from which mechanical components, hoses and pipe clips, have been removed.
Underbody sealer must be applied before such components are refitted
6Brush sealer into all exposed seams
7Spray the affected area with an approved service underbody sealer
8Remove masking from component mounting faces, and touch-in where necessary. Allow adequate drying time
before applying underbody wax

number of satellites being received, the date, time (Greenwich Mean Time) and the type of positional fix currently
possible.
lCALIBRATION– Allows vehicle specific calibration data to be entered, e.g. tyre size. Also allows current
calibration to be deleted prior to re-calibrating.
NOTE: Only known calibration data should be entered. The navigation computer cannot make route
calculations if incorrect data is entered.
lSENSORS– Allows wheel speed, reverse gear and gyro sensor inputs to be checked.
lVERSION– Displays navigation computer hardware and software details.
lSPEECH TEST– Performs a test of the navigation computer audio output.
lMODULE TEST– Performs a test routine on the internal components of the navigation computer.

NAVIGATION SYSTEM
87-26 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
GPS Tracking Menu
Sensor Check
Selecting Sensor Test from the service mode menu causes the sensor check menu to be displayed. The sensor
check menu is used to confirm that all the input sensors are working. Some of the tests below involve driving the
vehicle for short distances. Before starting these tests ensure that an appropriate location, away from public roads
and obstructions, is chosen. The system-input sensors can be tested as follows:
lWheel Sensors - When the vehicle is stationary the values in the wheel sensor boxes should both be zero. Drive
the vehicle for a short distance. While driving, a number should be displayed in the left wheel sensor box. The
value in the box should be proportional to the speed of the vehicle, and increase as the speed increases.
lGPS Satellites – Indicates the number of satellites being received
lGPS Status – Indicates the status of the GPS system by displaying one of the following messages:
lPosition Known – The system has a current position fix. This indicates that the GPS system is functioning
normally.
lSatellite Contact – The system is tracking a number of satellites. This indicates that the system is working
correctly but does not have enough information to determine the position of the vehicle. Check that there is
nothing obstructing GPS antenna's 'view' of the sky. It may take several minutes for the GPS system to
acquire enough satellites to determine the vehicle's position (Position Known).
lSatellite Search – The system is searching for satellites. If this is displayed it may mean that there is a failure
in the GPS system. First check that the GPS antenna's 'view' of the sky is not blocked in any way. Check
harness connections between the navigation computer and the GPS antenna.
lGPS Error – There is a communication error between the GPS receiver and the navigation computer.
lGYRO – Drive the vehicle forwards, in a straight line and making left and right turns. When the vehicle is moving
in a straight line the direction arrow should be pointing to the top of the screen and the gyro value beside the
direction arrow should remain relatively constant. When the vehicle turns to the right, the direction arrow should
turn clockwise and the gyro value should increase. The size of the angle through which the direction icon turns
depends on the tightness of the turn. When the vehicle turns to the left, the direction arrow should turn anti-
clockwise and the gyro value should decrease.
lDirection of Travel – When the gear lever is in any position other than reverse, the display should show
Forwards. When reverse is selected, the display should change to Backwards.
