TestBook is able to retrieve the following Catalyst damage fault codes:
The flywheel/ reluctor ring adaptions must be reset if the CKP sensor or the flywheel are changed.
Vehicle Speed Signal (VSS)
The VSS is used, by the ECM, to control idle speed and overrun cut off. The ECM receives the signal through a hard
wired connection direct from the SLABS ECU.
For vehicles fitted with an automatic gearbox, two vehicle speed signals are received by the ECM. The second signal
is derived from the main gearbox output shaft speed, and is sent to the ECM by the Electronic Automatic Transmission
(EAT) ECU though the Controller Area Network (CAN). The ECM compares the vehicle speed signal generated by
the SLABS ECU with that supplied via the CAN.
The ECM also receives transfer box information. This allows the ECM to take in to account the vehicle being driven
using low range gearing and compensate as necessary.
On vehicles with manual transmission, the SLABS signal is checked against a threshold value stored in ECM memory.
If other engine parameters indicate the engine is at high load and the VSS is below the threshold, a fault condition is
registered in the diagnostic memory.
The vehicle speed signal generated by the SLABS ECU is in the form of a pulse width modulated signal (PWM).
Pulses are generated at 8000 per mile, and the frequency of the signal changes in accordance with road speed. At
zero road speed the ECU outputs a reference signal at a frequency of 2Hz for diagnostic purposes.
Function
The input signal for the SLABS ECU is measured via pin 22 of connector C0637 of the ECM. The SLABS ECU
generates a PWM signal switching between 0 and 12 volts at a frequency of 8000 pulses per mile. For vehicles with
automatic gearbox the input signal for the EAT ECU is measured via pins 36 and 37 of connector C0637 of the ECM.
These pin numbers provide a bi-directional communications link using the CAN data bus.

18-2-50 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
In the case of a VSS failure on vehicles with automatic gearboxes, the ECM applies default values derived from the
EAT ECU. There are no default values for manual gearbox vehicles.
The VSS can fail in the following ways:
lWiring short circuit to vehicle supply.
lWiring short circuit to vehicle earth.
lWiring open circuit.
In the event of a VSS failure, any of the following symptoms may be observed:
lMIL illuminated after 2 driving cycles (NAS only).
lVehicle speed limiting disabled (manual transmission vehicles only).
lSLABS/HDC warning lamp on and audible warning.
Should a malfunction of the component occur the following fault codes may be evident and can be retrieved by
TestBook:
Rough road signal
When the vehicle travels across rough terrain, or on rough roads instability becomes evident in the drive train. The
ECM could interpret these vibrations as a 'false misfire'. To counteract this 'false misfire' the SLABS ECU generates
a rough road signal, sends it to the ECM so that the ECM can suspend misfire detection for as long as the vehicle is
travelling on the 'rough road'.
Function
Input for the rough road signal is measured via pin 34 of connector C0637 of the ECM. The SLABS ECU generates
a PWM signal that varies in accordance with changing road conditions. The rough road PWM signal operates at a
frequency of 2.33 Hz
± 10%. The significance of changes in the PWM signal are shown in the following table:
The rough road signal can fail in the following ways:

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 18-2-51
Should a malfunction of the rough road signal occur, the following fault codes may be evident and can be retrieved
by TestBook:
Hill Descent Control (HDC) signal
The ECM transmits throttle angle, engine torque, engine identification (Td5 or V8), and transmission type (automatic
or manual) data to the SLABS ECU to support the Hill Descent Control system. The information is transmitted via a
0 – 12V pulse width modulated (PWM) signal at a frequency of 179.27 Hz.
Function
The HDC signal output from the ECM is via pin 29 of connector C0636. The ECM generates a PWM signal that varies
in pulse width in accordance with changing throttle angle or engine torque. The throttle angle data is transmitted on
pulses 1, 3, 5 and 37. The engine torque data is transmitted on pulses 2,4,6 and 38. The engine and transmission
information is transmitted on pulse 39. A synchronising pulse is transmitted after every 39th pulse.
The HDC signal can fail in the following ways:
lHarness or connector damage
A HDC signal failure may be evident from the following:
lHDC / ABS warning light on
lHDC inoperative
lAudible warning
Should a malfunction of the HDC signal occur, the following fault codes may be evident and can be retrieved by
TestBook:
Low fuel level signal
When the fuel level in the fuel tank becomes low enough to illuminate the low fuel level warning lamp in the instrument
cluster, the instrument cluster generates a low fuel level signal. If the low fuel level signal is present during the ECM
misfire detection function the ECM can use it to check for a 'false misfire'.
Conditions
The fuel sender generates the low fuel level signal when the fuel sender resistance is greater than 158
± 8 ohms.

Description - cruise control
General
All markets have a common cruise control system. The cruise control system, when activated, regulates vehicle
speed. The system consists of an electrical sub-system and a mechanical sub-system.
The electrical sub-system consists of the following components:
lCruise control master switch (on/off switch).
lSET+ switch.
lRES switch.
lCruise control ECU.
lVacuum pump assembly.
lBrake pedal switch.
lClutch pedal switch (manual gearbox only).
lSLABS ECU (speed signal).
lBCU (brake pedal switch and automatic gearbox gear selector lever position signal).
The mechanical sub-system consists of the following components:
lPneumatic actuator.
lVacuum pump.
The cruise control ECU controls the cruise control system. It is located on the right hand A post.
The system has diagnostic capabilities through TestBook.
WARNING: To avoid the risk of losing control of the vehicle, do not use cruise control on winding, snow
covered or slippery roads, or in traffic conditions where a constant speed cannot be safely maintained. In
these conditions and at any time the system is not being used, ensure the cruise control switch is OFF.
Cruise control master switch
The cruise control master switch switches the system on and off. When the cruise control master switch is on, an
LED within the switch illuminates. If the cruise control master switch is off, cruise control will not operate. The switch
provides a 12 Volt feed to the cruise control ECU.
The cruise control master switch is located on the instrument panel near the steering column.

ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8
18-2-58 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Input/Output
The input from the cruise control master switch to the cruise control ECU is either a 12 Volts ignition feed or an open
circuit. 12 Volts indicates that the cruise control master switch is on and the system can be activated. An open circuit
indicates that the cruise control master switch is off and cruise control cannot be activated.
TestBook will not communicate with the cruise control ECU if the cruise control master switch is off.
SLABS ECU
The SLABS ECU provides the road speed signal to the cruise control ECU. This is the same speed signal provided
to the ECM. Cruise control will only operate between 28 - 125 mph (45 - 200 km/h). Cruise control will not operate if
a road speed signal is not present.
Input/Output
The input from the SLABS ECU to the cruise control ECU is a square wave oscillating between 0 - 12 Volts at a
frequency of 8,000 pulses per mile (1.6 km).

ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 18-2-61
Brake pedal switch
The cruise control ECU has two inputs from the brake pedal switch that determine the position of the brake pedal.
One input comes through the BCU and is low when the brake pedal is not pressed. The second input comes directly
from the brake pedal switch. This input is high when the brake pedal is not pressed. On vehicles with a manual
gearbox, the input from the clutch pedal switch to the cruise control ECU is connected in series with the direct signal
from the brake pedal switch.
If the cruise control ECU receives a changed signal from either source, it deactivates cruise control, removing power
to the vacuum pump and activating the vacuum control valve releasing all vacuum in the system.
The brake pedal switch also provides the signal to illuminate the brake lamps and the brake input to the SLABS ECU.
Input/Output
With the brake pedal and the clutch pedal in the rest position, the cruise control ECU receives 12 Volts.
With the brake pedal pressed, the cruise control ECU receives 0 Volts and a low voltage logic signal from the BCU.
NOTE: If the clutch pedal is pressed, 0 Volts are present at the cruise control ECU irrespective of brake pedal position.

ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8
18-2-66 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Operation - cruise control
Cruise control activation
Cruise control is a passive system. The driver must activate it. Switching on the cruise control master switch located
on the instrument panel activates cruise control. An LED in the switch illuminates, indicating cruise control is
available. The driver must accelerate the vehicle to the desired speed using the accelerator pedal. When the desired
speed is reached, pressing the SET+ switch activates cruise control. Cruise control will only activate if the following
conditions are met:
lVehicle speed is between 28 - 125 mph (45 - 200 km/h).
lThe brake pedal is not pressed.
lThe clutch pedal is not pressed (manual gearbox only).
lThe gearbox is not in park, reverse or neutral (automatic gearbox only).
Function
The cruise control ECU receives the set signal and determines the vehicle speed provided by the SLABS ECU. The
cruise control ECU activates the vacuum pump assembly to move the pneumatic actuator and the linkage to the
throttle disc to maintain set road speed. It does this by controlling the vacuum to the pneumatic actuator.
Cruise control cancellation
Cancelling cruise control enables the driver to regain control of the vehicle speed by using the accelerator pedal.
Cruise control is cancelled if any of the following conditions occur:
lThe brake pedal is pressed.
lThe RES switch button is pressed.
lThe clutch pedal is pressed (manual gearbox only).
lThe cruise control master switch is turned off.
lThe gearbox is placed in park, neutral, or reverse (automatic gearbox only).
Function
The cruise control ECU cancels cruise control operation by opening a vacuum control valve in the vacuum pump
assembly. This releases the throttle linkage from the control of the pneumatic actuator and returns it to the control of
the accelerator pedal.
The set speed will be stored in the cruise control ECU unless:
lThe cruise control master switch is turned off.
lThe ignition switch is turned off.
If cruise control is deactivated using either of the above methods, the set speed will be erased from the memory of
the cruise control ECU.
Cruise control resume
Cruise control can be resumed at the previously set speed, provided the set speed has not been erased from the
cruise control ECU memory as described above. To resume cruise control operation to the previously set speed,
depress the RES switch once when the following conditions are met:
lA set speed is stored in the cruise control ECU.
lVehicle speed is between 28 - 125 mph (45 - 200 km/h).
lThe brake pedal is not pressed.
lThe clutch pedal is not pressed (manual gearbox only).
lThe gearbox is not in park, reverse or neutral (automatic gearbox only).
