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
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.

18-2-62 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Clutch pedal switch
The clutch pedal switch is a single pole normally closed switch. It is part of the 12 Volt brake pedal switch circuit to
the cruise control ECU. When the clutch pedal is pressed, the cruise control ECU deactivates the cruise control
system and releases system vacuum. The last set speed is retained in the cruise control ECU.
Input/Output
The cruise control ECU receives a 12 Volt signal through the normally closed contacts of the brake pedal switch and
the normally closed clutch pedal switch.

ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 18-2-63
Body control unit
On manual gearbox vehicles, the BCU provides cruise control lockout or suspend function as described under brake
pedal switch.
On vehicles with automatic gearbox, the BCU monitors the status of the brake pedal switch as well as the status of
the automatic gearbox gear selector lever. The BCU monitors the gear selector lever to determine which gearbox
position the driver has selected. If the BCU detects that the driver has selected park, reverse or neutral, it sends a
signal to the cruise control ECU which inhibits cruise operation or deactivates cruise control if it is activated.
Input/Output
If the BCU receives a brake pedal switch signal or an automatic gearbox gear selector lever position signal, the BCU
sends a HIGH signal to the cruise control ECU. The cruise control ECU cancels or inhibits cruise control functions.

18-2-64 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Vacuum pump assembly
The vacuum pump assembly contains three components:
lThe vacuum pump.
lThe vacuum control valve.
lThe vacuum dump valve.
The vacuum pump provides the vacuum for the system while the two valves work in conjunction to allow the pump to
increase the vacuum to the pneumatic actuator (increase vehicle speed) or release vacuum from the pneumatic
actuator (decrease vehicle speed). On vehicles from 03 model year, the cruise control vacuum pump and pneumatic
actuator assembly is fitted with a heat shield to protect the components from heat from the exhaust manifold.
The vacuum control valve opens to allow the vacuum pump to increase the vacuum in the pneumatic actuator to
increase vehicle speed. When the vehicle reaches the set speed, the vacuum pump control valve closes to hold
vacuum in the pneumatic actuator and the vacuum pump is turned off by the cruise control ECU.
The vacuum dump valve is normally open. When cruise control is active, the cruise control ECU provides voltage to
close the vacuum dump valve. If power is lost, (e.g. when the brakes or clutch are applied or cruise control is turned
off at the cruise control master switch) the vacuum dump valve will immediately open and cruise control will be
deactivated.
The cruise control ECU provides power for all three components within the vacuum pump assembly. The cruise
control ECU provides earth control circuits for the vacuum pump and the vacuum control valve. The vacuum dump
valve is permanently grounded.
Input/Output
The cruise control ECU provides both power and earth to the components within the vacuum pump assembly. Current
draw at the vacuum pump assembly varies depending on components operating.

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).

ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 18-2-67
Function
The cruise control ECU activates the vacuum pump assembly to move the pneumatic actuator. This moves the
throttle to the set speed by adjusting the position of the throttle disc.
Accelerating while cruise control is active
There are three ways of increasing vehicle speed when cruise control is active:
lTemporarily increase vehicle speed (e.g. when overtaking another vehicle).
lIncrease vehicle set speed in 1 mph (1.5 km/h) increments.
lIncrease vehicle set speed.
To temporarily increase vehicle speed press the accelerator pedal until the desired speed is reached. When the
accelerator pedal is released, the vehicle coasts back to the set speed. When it reaches the set speed, cruise control
operation continues.
To increase the vehicle set speed in 1 mph (1.5 km/h) increments, tap the SET+ switch. Each tap on the switch
increases vehicle speed.
To increase the vehicle set speed, press and hold the SET+ switch until the desired set speed is reached.
The vehicle set speed will increase if the following conditions are met:
lThe vehicle is under cruise control operation.
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 vehicle responds as follows:
lIf the driver accelerates using the accelerator pedal, vehicle speed increases overriding pneumatic actuator
position. When the driver releases the accelerator pedal, the vehicle returns to the set speed.
lIf the SET+ switch is tapped, the driver increases the stored speed and vehicle speed by 1 mph (1.5 km/h) per
tap on the switch.
lIf the driver presses and holds the SET+ switch, the vehicle speed increases until the SET+ switch is released.
This becomes the new set speed for the cruise control ECU.
Switching off cruise control
Switching off cruise control allows the driver to regain control of vehicle speed. It erases the set road speed from the
cruise control ECU memory.
To switch off cruise control, press the cruise control master switch to the off position.
Function
When the cruise control master switch is turned off, the cruise control ECU switches off power to the vacuum pump
assembly. The vacuum dump valve opens releasing the vacuum in the pneumatic actuator, returning the throttle disc
to driver control via the accelerator pedal.

30-2-6 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Inlet plenum
The plenum is mounted transversely on the front of the upper manifold. The plenum divides into two galleries which
connect with the galleries on the upper manifold. The plenum is secured to the upper manifold with four bolts and
sealed with a coated metal gasket.
The plenum provides attachment for the throttle housing, which is secured with four bolts and sealed with a coated
metal gasket. The plenum also has vacuum connections for brake servo, rocker cover breather and fuel vapour from
the charcoal canister. A port on the top of the plenum connects via a hose to the IAC valve.
Exhaust manifolds
Two handed, cast iron exhaust manifolds are used on the V8 engine. Each manifold has four ports which merge into
one flanged outlet positioned centrally on the manifold.
Each manifold is attached to its cylinder head with eight Torx bolts. Each bolt is fitted with a 'cotton reel' shaped spacer
which allows for a longer bolt resulting in increased torque loading on each bolt. Two laminated metal gaskets seal
each manifold to its cylinder head. The flanged outlet on each manifold provides the attachment for the front pipe of
the exhaust system.
Exhaust system
The exhaust system comprises a front pipe assembly with two front pipes each incorporating a catalytic converter, an
intermediate pipe incorporating a silencer and a tail pipe assembly which also has a silencer. The exhaust system is
constructed mainly of 63 mm (2.48 in) diameter extruded pipe with a 1.5 mm (0.06 in) wall thickness. All pipes are
aluminized to resist corrosion and the silencers are fabricated from stainless steel sheet.
Front pipe assembly
The front pipe assembly is of welded and fabricated construction. A front pipe from each exhaust manifold merges
into one flanged connection. Two captive studs on the flange provide attachment to the intermediate pipe with
locknuts. Each front pipe has a welded flange which is attached to each manifold and secured with three studs and
flanged nuts and sealed with a metal laminated gasket. The gasket comprises a heat resistant fibre between two thin
metallic layers to enhance the sealing properties of the gasket.
A catalytic converter is located in each front pipe. The catalytic converters are different shapes to allow clearance
between the body and transmission. Both catalytic converters are of similar internal construction.

+ EMISSION CONTROL - V8, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Emission Control Systems.
CAUTION: Ensure the exhaust system is free from leaks. Exhaust gas leaks upstream of the catalytic
converter could cause internal damage to the catalytic converter.
From the catalytic converters, the front pipes merge into one pipe which terminates at a flanged joint. The flange
connects with the intermediate pipe, sealed with an olive and secured with studs and locknuts.
Intermediate pipe and silencer
The intermediate pipe is of welded and fabricated tubular construction. It connects at its forward end with a flange on
the front pipe assembly and is secured with locknuts to captive studs in the front pipe assembly flange. The rear
section of the intermediate pipe connects to the tail pipe assembly via a flanged joint, sealed with a metal gasket and
secured with locknuts and studs.
The forward and rear sections are joined by a silencer. The silencer is fabricated from stainless steel sheet to form
the body of the silencer. An end plate closes each end of the silencer and is attached to the body with seam joints.
Perforated baffle tubes inside the silencer are connected to the inlet and outlet pipes on each end plate. Internal baffle
plates support the baffle tubes and together with a stainless steel fibre absorb combustion noise as the exhaust gases
pass through the silencer.
The intermediate pipe is attached by two brackets, positioned at each end of the silencer, and mounting rubbers to
the chassis. The mounting rubbers allow ease of alignment and vibration absorption. The two mounting rubbers are
fitted with removable heat deflectors to prevent heat from the silencer damaging the material.
