Interpretation of the Results
• NOTE: Due t o t he poss ibi li ty of l oos e carbon t hat has become t rapped between t he valve face and seat effect ing thepres s ure readi ngs , when carryi ng out a compres s ion t est and cyli nders are found to have low press ures , ins t al l the s parkplugs , road t est t he vehicle and re-t est the s us pect cyl inders . If the correct pressures are rest ored, no further acti on isrequired.
The indicat ed compress i on pres sures are cons idered wi thi n s pecificati on if t he l owest readi ng cyl inder is wi thi n 75% of t hehighest reading.
If the cyli nder pres s ures are found t o be l ow, carry out a l eakdown t est to det ermi ne the locat ion of t he faul t (i f anyleakback can be heard through t he engine breat her sys tem s uspect the pi st on rings , if any leakback can be heard throught he inlet s ys tem sus pect t he i nl et val ve or seat , if any leakback can be heard through the exhaus t mani fold sus pect t heexhaus t val ve or s eat . If t he meas urements for t wo cyl inders next t o each ot her are bot h t oo low then i t is very likely thatt he cyl inder head gas ket bet ween them is burnt t hrough. Thi s can als o be recognized by t races of engi ne oil in the coolantand/or cool ant i n t he engi ne oil ).
Oil Consump tion Test
The amount of oi l an engi ne uses will vary wit h t he way t he vehi cl e is driven i n addit ion t o normal engine-t o-enginevariat ion. This i s es pecial ly t rue during t he fi rs t 16,100 km (10,000 mil es) when a new engine i s bei ng broken i n or unt ilcert ai n i nt ernal components become condit ioned. Vehicles us ed i n heavy-dut y operati on may us e more oil . The fol lowingare exampl es of heavy-duty operat ion:

The oi l level s hould not be above the top of t he cros s-hatched area and t he l et t er"F" i n FULL).
Operat ion under varyi ng condi ti ons can frequent ly be mi sl eadi ng. A vehi cl e t hat has been run for s everal t housand miles ons hort t rips or i n below-freezi ng ambient temperat ures may have cons umed a "normal" amount of oil . However, whenchecking t he engine oil l evel , it may meas ure up to the full mark on t he oil l evel indicator due t o dil uti on (condens ati onand fuel ) in t he engine crankcas e. The vehi cl e t hen might be driven at high s peeds on the hi ghway where t he condens at ionand fuel boil off. The next t ime t he engi ne oil is checked it may appear that a l it er of oi l was us ed i n about 160 km (100mi les ). Oi l cons umpti on rat e is about one l it er per 2,400 km (1,500 mil es).
Make s ure t he s elected engine oi l meets manufact urer s pecificati on and t he recommended API performance cat egory "SG"and SAE vis cos i ty grade as s hown in t he vehicle O wner's Gui de.

This has been achi eved by the ATC (automat ic t emperat ure control) module monit oring and varyi ng, as necess ary variousclimate control funct ions wi thi n a St op/Start cycle.
In s ome circums t ances t he ATC has t he capabil it y to inhibit an engi ne s hut down or init iat e an engine rest art wit hi n aStop/St art cycle. Thi s i s achi eved by t he ATC module communi cat ing wit h t he CJB on the medi um s peed CAN. The variousoverri de functi ons the ATC has in a St op/St art cycl e are di s cus s ed bel ow:
Coolant temperat ure
The ATC module wil l i nhibit an engine shut down or i nit iat e an engine res t art wi thi n a St op/Start cycle if t he coolantt emperature fal ls below the calculat ed t hreshol d to s upport t he cabin t emperat ure s et by t he vehi cl e occupant s .

This feature is us ed t o conservebatt ery power.

Reverse Lock-Out
If the s elector l ever is moved from N to R and t he vehi cl e i s travel li ng forwards , revers e s electi on is prevent ed if t hevehi cl e s peed is 11 km/h (6.8 mph) or more. W hen revers e lock-out is act ivated, t he cl utch (C3) is released wit houtenergizing sol enoid (SLC3), preventi ng t he transmis si on from sel ect ing reverse gear.
TRANSMISSION FAULT STATUS
If the TCM det ect s a fault wi th the t rans mi ss ion sys tem, it wi ll enter a defaul t (l imp home) mode to prevent furt herdamage to the trans mi ss i on and allow the vehicl e to be dri ven. If pos s ibl e revers e gear wil l be avai lable and al s o 3rd gearonly.
W hen a fault i s detected a high s peed CAN mes s age is s ent from the TCM and is recei ved by the i nst rument clus ter.

ENGINE SPEED AND TORQUE MONITORING
The ECM const antl y s uppl ies t he TCM wi th informati on on engine s peed and torque through mes s ages on the CAN bus. TheTCM us es t hi s informat ion t o calculat e the correct and appropriat e t imi ng of shi ft changes .
If the mes s ages are not received by t he ECM, the TCM wil l impl ement a back-up st rat egy to prot ect t he transmis s ion fromdamage and all ow t he vehi cl e t o be dri ven.
In the event of an engi ne s peed or t orque s i gnal fai lure, t he t rans mis s ion wi ll adopt the el ect ri cal li mp home mode wit ht he trans mi s si on operati ng in a fixed gear.
TOWING FOR RECOVERY
W ARNING: Ens ure that t he remot e hands et remains docked whi ls t the vehicl e is bei ng towed. Removing t he remot ehands et wil l engage t he s teering l ock, which wi ll prevent the vehicle from s t eering correct ly.
If the engine cannot be run whi ls t the vehicl e is bei ng towed, t here wi ll be no power ass i st ance for the st eeri ng or brakes .This wi ll res ult in great er effort being requi red t o s t eer or s low the vehicle, and great ly i ncreas ed s t oppi ng dis tances.
CAUTION: The vehicle s hould only be towed wit h four wheels on the ground. Towing wi th two wheel s on t he groundwil l res ult i n s erious damage t o t he t ransmis s ion.
