FRONT SUSPENSION
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 60-21
A road speed signal is transmitted to the ACE ECU as a pulsed digital signal from the Self-levelling/Anti-lock Braking
System (SLABS) ECU. The road speed signal is used by the ACE ECU for on and off-road roll compensation.
When reverse gear is selected, an input is received from the reverse lamp switch. When the ACE ECU detects that
reverse gear has been selected, the ACE system reverts to a 'locked bars' condition until reverse gear is disengaged.
The diagnostic connection allows diagnostic interrogation of the ACE ECU. The diagnostic socket allows diagnostic
equipment to be connected to interrogate the ACE ECU for fault codes.
When system faults are detected by the ECU, the ACE warning lamp in the instrument pack is illuminated by the ECU
continuously in amber for minor faults or flashing red with an audible warning for faults which require the driver to stop
the vehicle immediately.
The ACE ECU supplies a control current to the pressure control valve in the valve block. The current supplied by the
ECU is determined by a number of input signals from the upper and lower accelerometers, road speed etc.. The
pressure control valve controls the hydraulic pressure supplied to the actuators proportional to the current supplied
by the ECU.
Power is supplied to the two solenoid operated directional control valves (DCV's) in the valve block by the ECU.
Together, the DCV's control the direction of flow of hydraulic fluid to the actuators. When the ECU supplies power to
the solenoids the valves open allowing hydraulic fluid to flow to the actuators. When power is removed the valves
close.
The pressure transducer in the valve block receives a 5 V supply from the ECU. The pressure transducer measures
hydraulic pressures in the range of 0 to 180 bar (0 to 2610 lbf.in
2) and returns a linear output voltage to the ECU
dependent on hydraulic pressure.
The ECU supplies a 5 V current to each of the accelerometers. Each accelerometer is capable of measuring lateral
acceleration in the range of
± 1.10 g. An analogue input to the ECU of between 0.5 and 4.5 V relative to the lateral
acceleration sensed is returned by each accelerometer. The ECU processes the two signals received to produce a
'pure' lateral acceleration signal which is then used as the main control signal for the ACE system.

60-22 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Failure modes
Failures where the vehicle can still be driven safely are indicated by the ACE warning lamp illuminating continuously
with an amber colour. The amber warning lamp will remain illuminated until the ignition is turned off. For all faults the
warning lamp will only illuminate again if the fault is still present. Failures which require the driver to stop the vehicle
immediately are indicated by the ACE warning lamp flashing with a red colour and an audible warning. All faults are
recorded by the ACE ECU and can be retrieved with diagnostic equipment.
The following tables show the type of system failures and their effects on the system operation. Torsion bar 'floppy'
means that fluid is allowed to circulate freely through the system. With no pressure in the actuators the torsion bar will
have no effect on vehicle roll. 'Locked bars' means that all pump flow is directed through the valve block and returns
to the reservoir. Both DCV's close and fluid is trapped in the actuators but can flow from one actuator to the other via
the valve block. In this condition the torsion bar will perform similar to a conventional anti-roll bar, resisting roll but still
allowing the axles to articulate.

60-26 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Vehicle moving and turning left
When the vehicle is turning left, the accelerometers detect the cornering forces applied and transmit signals to the
ECU. The ECU determines that an opposing force must be applied to the torsion bars to counter the cornering forces.
The ECU supplies a current to the solenoid of the DCV2. Simultaneously, a current is sent from the ECU to the
pressure control valve which operates to restrict the flow of fluid returning to the reservoir.
The restriction causes the hydraulic pressure in the system to rise and the pressure is sensed by the pressure
transducer which sends a signal to the ECU. The ECU determines from the inputs it receives what pressure is required
and adjusts the pressure control valve accordingly.
The pressure in the system is applied to the annulus of each actuator, applying an opposing force to the torsion bar
and minimising the cornering effect on the vehicle and maintaining the vehicle attitude. The fluid displaced from the
full area of the actuator is returned to the reservoir via the valve block.
As the cornering force is removed when the vehicle straightens up, the ECU opens the pressure control valve to
reduce the pressure in the system. The fluid bleeds from the actuator back into the system as the cornering force is
reduced, removing the force from the torsion bar. When the vehicle is moving in a straight line DCV 2 closes.
Vehicle moving and turning right
When the vehicle is turning right, the accelerometers detect the cornering forces applied and transmit signals to the
ECU. The ECU determines that an opposing force must be applied to the torsion bars to counter the cornering forces.
The ECU supplies a current to the solenoid of the DCV1. Simultaneously, a current is sent from the ECU to the
pressure control valve which operates to restrict the flow of fluid through the by-pass gallery.
The restriction causes the hydraulic pressure in the system to rise and the pressure is sensed by the pressure
transducer which sends a signal corresponding to the pressure to the ECU. The ECU determines from the inputs it
receives what pressure is required and adjusts the pressure control valve accordingly.
The pressure in the system is applied to the full area of each actuator, applying an opposing force to the torsion bar
and minimising the cornering effect on the vehicle and maintaining the vehicle attitude. The fluid displaced from the
annulus of the actuator is returned to the reservoir via the valve block.
As the cornering force is removed when the vehicle straightens up, the ECU opens the pressure control valve to
reduce the pressure in the system. The fluid bleeds from the actuator back into the system as the cornering force is
reduced, removing the force from the torsion bar. When the vehicle is moving in a straight line the DCV 1 closes.
Vehicle moving in a straight line
The ECU is constantly monitoring the signals received from the accelerometers and operates the DCV's and pressure
control valve to maintain the vehicle attitude when the vehicle is moving.
Off-road driving
Off-road detection is achieved by the ECU by monitoring the signals from the upper and lower accelerometers for
varying degrees of body movement. Off-road driving generates differing signals to the accelerometers which in turn
produce differing outputs due to their vertical separation and the location of the roll centre of the vehicle. The two
signals are passed through a filter to remove any offset caused by the vehicle leaning or the terrain. The ECU then
uses this signal to calculate the percentage of road roughness.
Below 25 mph (40 km/h) the percentage of road roughness calculated is used by the ECU to limit the operation of the
ACE system. The system is completely inoperative at speeds below 2 mph (3 km/h). At speeds above 25 mph (40
km/h) the system disables the percentage road roughness signal and full ACE system assistance is restored.
Side slope detection
The ECU uses side slope detection when the upper and lower accelerometers detect an average acceleration of more
than
± 0.2 g and a road speed of less than 25 mph (40 km/h).
When side slope is detected both DCV's close to provide a 'locked bars' condition. This condition increases stability
and gives a consistent vehicle response. As the road speed increases up to 25 mph (40 km/h), the level of average
lateral acceleration must also increase and be maintained for the system to recognise that the vehicle is on a side
slope. If the side slope angle is steep and the road speed is low, the ECU will detect the side slope in a short time.

BRAKES
70-14 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The ABS modulator is a 4 channel unit that controls the supply of hydraulic pressure to the brakes in response to
inputs from the SLABS ECU. The modulator is attached by three mounting bushes to a bracket on the LH inner front
wing, and connected to the primary and secondary hydraulic circuits downstream of the master cylinder assembly.
Three electrical connectors link the ABS modulator to the vehicle wiring.
Passages within the ABS modulator, separated into primary and secondary circuits, connect to the various internal
components that control the supply of hydraulic pressure to the brakes:
lShuttle valves and non return valves control the flow through the internal circuits.
lShuttle valve switches, connected in series to the SLABS ECU, provide a brakes on/off signal.
lA damper chamber and restrictor are included in each circuit to refine system operation.
lInlet and outlet solenoid valves control the flow to the individual brakes.
lAn expansion chamber is connected to each circuit to absorb pressure.
lA return pump is connected to both circuits to provide a pressure source.
The ABS modulator has three operating modes: Normal braking, ABS braking and active braking.
Normal braking mode
When the brake pedal is pressed, pressurised fluid from the master cylinder assembly moves the shuttle valves to
open lines 'A' and close the shuttle valve switches. Pressurised fluid then flows through the open inlet solenoid valves
to operate the brakes. The closed shuttle valve switches supply a brakes on signal to the SLABS ECU. If the SLABS
ECU determines that EBD is necessary, it energises the inlet solenoid valves for the brakes of one axle. The inlet
solenoid valves close to isolate the brakes from any further increase in hydraulic pressure.
ABS braking mode
When in the normal braking mode, if the SLABS ECU determines that ABS braking is necessary, it energises the inlet
and outlet solenoid valves of the related brake and starts the return pump. The inlet solenoid valve closes to isolate
the brake from pressurised fluid; the outlet solenoid valve opens to release pressure from the brake into the expansion
chamber and the return pump circuit. The brake releases and the wheel begins to accelerate. The SLABS ECU then
operates the inlet and outlet solenoid valves to control the supply of hydraulic pressure to the brake and apply the
maximum braking effort (for the available traction) without locking the wheel.
Active braking mode
When ETC or HDC are enabled, and the SLABS ECU determines that active braking is necessary, it starts the return
pump. Hydraulic fluid, drawn from the reservoirs through the master cylinder, shuttle valves and lines 'B', is
pressurised by the return pump and supplied to lines 'A'. The SLABS ECU then operates the inlet and outlet solenoid
valves to control the supply of hydraulic pressure to the individual brakes and slow the wheel(s).

BRAKES
70-18 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The SLABS ECU continually calculates vehicle speed using the wheel speed inputs from all four ABS sensors. The
calculated vehicle speed is then used as a reference against which individual wheel speeds are monitored for
unacceptable acceleration or deceleration. The ABS sensor inputs are also used by the SLABS ECU to detect vehicle
deceleration rate, vehicle cornering rate and rough terrain.
The engaged forward gear and (on manual gearbox models) the clutch status are computed from the engine data
input, the engine speed input and vehicle speed. Reverse gear status is provided by an input from the reverse lamp
switch (manual gearbox models) or the BCU (automatic gearbox models). On automatic models, the BCU also
provides the neutral selected input.

installed in the hub bearing of each wheel, senses off a 60 tooth exciter ring integrated into the inner race of the hub
bearing. Each ABS sensor has a fly-lead connecting it to the vehicle wiring.

70-20 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Operation
Refer to illustration.

+ BRAKES, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Brake system control diagram.
When the ignition is switched on, the SLABS ECU performs a check of the brake related warning lamps as part of the
power up procedure. The warning lamps are illuminated for approximately 3 seconds and then extinguished. If a fault
warning lamp remains illuminated after the lamp check, a fault has been detected and repair action is required.
ABS
The ABS function prevents the road wheels locking during brake application, thus maintaining vehicle stability even
under emergency conditions.
WARNING: ABS is an aid to retaining steering control and stability while braking:
lABS cannot defy the natural laws of physics acting on the vehicle.
lABS will not prevent accidents resulting from excessive cornering speeds, following another vehicle too
closely, aquaplaning, etc.
lThe additional control provided by ABS must never be exploited in a dangerous or reckless manner
which could jeopardise the safety of driver or other road users.
lThe fitting of ABS does not imply that the vehicle will always stop in a shorter distance.
NOTE: 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 anti-lock braking operation the driver will experience feedback in the form of a pulsating
brake pedal and solenoid/pump motor noise from the ABS modulator.
The anti-lock braking function is automatically enabled whenever the ABS modulator is in the normal braking mode.
While the anti-lock braking function is enabled, if the SLABS ECU detects a wheel decelerating faster than the
average and at the calibrated wheel slip limit for ABS operation, it operates the ABS modulator in the ABS braking
mode for the affected wheel.
EBD
The EBD function optimises the distribution of hydraulic pressure between the front and rear axles, under all vehicle
load configurations and road conditions, to maintain vehicle stability during braking. EBD operates in forward and
reverse and is automatically enabled whenever the ABS modulator is in the normal braking mode at vehicle
deceleration rates of 0.3 g and above (i.e. medium to high brake pedal loads). EBD operation is similar to that of ABS,
but is calibrated to intervene at lower wheel slip limits and operates the brakes in axle pairs instead of individually.
During braking, if the SLABS ECU detects the wheels of one axle going slower than those of the other axle, i.e. a
potential wheel slip situation, it signals the ABS modulator to close the inlet solenoid valve for the brakes of the slower
wheels. This prevents any further increase in hydraulic pressure to those brakes, while allowing the hydraulic pressure
to the brakes on the other axle to increase and so maximise the overall braking effort. If the wheel speeds of the axle
being subjected to EBD control return within the calibrated wheel slip limits, the SLABS ECU signals a stepped
opening of the inlet solenoid valves, which allows a progressive increase of hydraulic pressure to the related brakes.
Operation of EBD is detectable from a stiffening of brake pedal movement as the inlet solenoid valves close and a
slight pulsing of the brake pedal as the inlet solenoid valves open. EBD operation ceases immediately the brake pedal
is released.
The wheel slip limit for EBD operation varies with vehicle speed. During normal operation, the inlet solenoid valves
always operate in axle pairs, with only one axle pair closed at any one time. Since the most lightly loaded wheel during
a braking manoeuvre will usually be the first to reach the slip limit, under most vehicle load configurations and road
conditions EBD control occurs on the trailing axle. However, EBD control can occur on the leading axle or switch
between axles during the braking manoeuvre.

BRAKES
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 70-23
Typical disabled times
Diagnostics
While the ignition is on, the diagnostics function of the SLABS ECU monitors the system for faults. In addition, the
return pump is tested by pulsing it briefly immediately after the engine starts provided vehicle speed exceeded 4.4
mph (7 km/h) during the previous ignition cycle. If a fault exists in a warning lamp circuit, the lamp will not illuminate
during the lamp check at ignition on but, provided there are no other faults, the related function will otherwise be fully
operational. If a fault is detected during the power up, the SLABS ECU stores a related fault code in memory and
illuminates the appropriate fault warning lamps. If a fault is detected later in the drive cycle, the SLABS ECU also
sounds the audible warning three times.
Fault codes and diagnostic routines can be accessed by connecting Testbook to the vehicle's diagnostic connector
in the driver's footwell.
Warning lamp fault operation
After detecting a fault, the SLABS ECU selects an appropriate default strategy which, where possible, retains some
operational capability. A shuttle valve switch fault and throttle position signal fault are classified as permanent faults.
If a permanent fault is detected, the related warning lamp illumination and default strategies are automatically
employed in subsequent ignition cycles, even if the fault is intermittent, until the fault has been rectified and cleared
from memory. If a non permanent fault is detected, the related warning lamp illumination and default strategies will
only be employed in subsequent ignition cycles if the fault is still present.
After rectification of an ABS sensor fault, the ABS and ETC functions are disabled, and the ABS warning lamp remains
illuminated after the lamp check, until vehicle speed exceeds 9.4 mph (15 km/h) (to allow additional checks to be
performed).
