Repeat the procedure for the other side.
Front Alignment

NOTE: Make sure that the front camber is set within the correct tolerance before checking or adjusting the
front toe alignment.

1. NOTES:

To adjust the front camber the upper wishbone arms must be


replaced.

Changing the upper wishbone arm will generate a ±0.5º change


in front camber depending on the component installed.

If necessary adjust the front wheel camber. Note the readings from
the steering geometry test equipment and adjust the geometry as
required.
For additional information, refer to: Upper Arm LH (204-01, Removal
and Installation) /
Upper Arm RH (204-01, Removal and Installation).

2. Roll the vehicle backwards and forwards to settle the steering and
suspension.

3. Set the vehicle into tight tolerance mode.


For additional information, refer to: Air Suspension Manual Tight
Tolerance Setting Mode (204-05, General Procedures).

4. CAUTION: To prevent damage to the tie rods, use an additional


wrench when loosening or tightening the components.

Loosen the tie-rod end lock nut.


5. CAUTION: Do not allow the gaiter to twist.

NOTE: Both tie rods must be rotated by an equal amount.

Adjust the front toe alignment. Note the readings from the steering
geometry test equipment and adjust the geometry as required.
Align the steering to straight ahead.
Adjust the steering gear tie rod, rotate using the hexagon on
the tie rod.

DESCRIPTION

Air Spring and Shock absorber Module

Item Part Number Description


1 - Nut (Shock absorber to vehicle body)
2 - Nut (Shock absorber rod)
3 - Air connector
4 - Air spring and Shock absorber assembly
5 - Gaiter
6 - Shock absorber yoke
7 - Bolt (Shock absorber yoke to rear lower arm)
8 - Nut (Shock absorber yoke to rear lower arm)
Shock absorber

The Shock absorber assembly is a mono tube design with an air spring. The lower end of the Shock absorber is fitted with a
yoke which is attached to the rear lower arm. The Shock absorber yoke also includes a location hole for the stabilizer link.

The Shock absorber functions by restricting the flow of hydraulic fluid through internal galleries within the Shock absorber.
The Shock absorber rod moves axially within the Shock absorber, its movement limited by the flow of fluid through the
galleries, providing damping of undulations in the terrain. The Shock absorber rod is sealed at its exit point from the Shock
absorber body to maintain the fluid within the unit and to prevent the ingress of dirt and moisture. The seal also
incorporates a wiper to keep the rod clean.

Air Spring

The air spring comprises an aluminum restraining cylinder, top mount, spring aid, air sleeve, an inner support sleeve
aluminum piston and a lower isolator. Elastomeric gaiters are fitted top and bottom. The upper gaiter is a self-supporting
cover. The lower gaiter is of a convoluted design and fitted to the restraining cylinder by a metal clip and is attached to the
Shock absorber by a plastic ring clipped to the Shock absorber.

The air sleeve is made from a flexible rubber material which allows the sleeve to roll up and down the air spring piston as
the vehicle changes height. The air sleeve is attached to the air spring piston and top mount by crimp rings which provide
an air tight seal, surrounded by the restraining cylinder. The air spring piston mounts to a spring isolator which contains an
O-ring sealing the piston assembly to the Shock absorber body. The piston assembly is positively attached to the seat with
retaining spigots. The top of the air sleeve is crimped to the top mount which attaches to the body with four integral studs
and self-locking nuts.
A spring aid is fitted to the top mount concentric with the Shock absorber rod and prevents the top mount contacting the
bump cap fitted to the top of the Shock absorber during full suspension compression. The lower end of the air spring is
located over the Shock absorber body and seats on a fabricated seat on the Shock absorber body. The Shock absorber rod
is located through a central hole in the top mount. The rod is threaded at its outer end. A nut secures the air spring to the
Shock absorber rod.

The top mount is an integral part of the air spring and is fitted with a bush and a dynamic seal. The top mount is secured
to the Shock absorber rod with a nut. The top mount attaches to a suspension tower on the body with four integral studs
and self-locking nuts. The top mount also incorporates an air fitting which allows for the attachment of the air pipe.

NOTE: Air spring internal components are not serviceable.

The front stabilizer bar is fabricated from hardened steel tube. The front stabilizer bar operates, via a pair of links, from
their attachment to the Shock absorber yoke.

The front stabilizer bar is mounted on the subframe’s rear cross member and is attached with two, compression rubber
bushes which wind up torsionally in operation. Brackets, which are pressed onto the bushes, are attached to the cross
member with bolts. The front stabilizer bar has plastic moulded, 'anti-shuffle' collars positioned on the inside edges of the
bushes. The collars prevent sideways movement of the front stabilizer bar.

The links have a ball joint at each end, and fitted with hardened steel washers pressed onto the ballpins at both ends. The
top ball joint is attached to the link at 90 degrees to the link axis. The ball joint is located in a hole in the Shock absorber
yoke and secured with the hardened steel washer on one side of the interface and a self-locking nut on the other. The
bottom ball joint is attached to the link at 90 degrees to the link axis. The ball joint is located in a hole in the end of the
front stabilizer bar and secured with the hardened steel washer on one side of the interface and the self-locking nut on
other

Both arms are made from forged and machined steel. An aperture in the rear arm provides for the attachment of the Shock
absorber yoke bush.

Each lower arm is fitted with a bush which is secured with a bolt to the subframe, with bolts and self-locking nuts through
metal inserts in the center of the bushes. The outer-end of the arms are fitted with a tapered ball joint which attach to the
wheel knuckle.

The ball joint is pressed into the upper arm and is secured with an interference fit. The top face of the ball joint has two
semi-circular cut-outs. One of these cut-outs must be aligned with the small indentation in the upper arm to ensure the
correct operation of the ball joint.

The wheel knuckle is a machined aluminum forging which is located between the ball joints of the upper and lower arms. A
cast boss on the front edge of the knuckle provides for the attachment of the steering gear, tie rod ball joint.

The wheel hub comprises: the wheel hub housing, taper roller bearing. Five studs are pressed into the wheel hub and
provide for the attachment of the road wheel.

The wheel hub housing is a machined forging which houses the taper roller bearing.

The wheel hub has a splined center bore which mates with corresponding splines on the half-shaft. Rotation of the half-
shaft is passed, via the splines, to the wheel hub which rotates on the taper roller bearing.

The Shock absorber assembly is a mono tube design, the lower end of the Shock absorber is fitted with a bush and is
attached to the wheel knuckle. The Shock absorber top mounting is located in a turret in the body and secured to the body
with three nuts

secured to the body with three nuts The Shock absorber functions by restricting the flow of hydraulic fluid through internal
galleries within the Shock absorber. The Shock absorber rod moves axially within the Shock absorber, its movement limited
by the flow of fluid through the galleries, providing damping of undulations in the terrain. The Shock absorber rod is sealed
at its exit point from the Shock absorber body to maintain the fluid within the unit and to prevent the ingress of dirt and
moisture. The seal also incorporates a wiper to keep the rod clean.

Air Spring

Each air spring comprises a top cap assembly, an air bag and a base piston. The air bag is attached to the top cap and the
piston with crimp rings. The air bag is made from a flexible rubber material which allows the sleeve to roll up and down the
air spring piston as the vehicle changes height. The top cap assembly comprises the plastic top cap with a spigot which
protrudes through a hole in the subframe. This spigot includes a timing feature to ensure the air spring is in the correct
orientation and is attached to the subframe with a spring clip. On the side of the top cap is a connector which allows for the
attachment of the air pipe from the valve block. The piston is made from plastic and is shaped to allow the air bag to roll
over its outer diameter. The base of the piston has a spigot with an integral clip to locate into the lower wishbone.

The air springs are located inboard of the Shock absorbers and are retained between the subframe and the lower wishbone.

For additional information, refer to: Ride and Handling Optimization (204-06 Ride and Handling Optimization, Description
and Operation).

The stabilizer bar is fabricated from hardened steel tube. The stabilizer bar operates, via a pair of links, from their
attachment to the Lower control arm.

The stabilizer bar is mounted on the subframe’s rear cross member and is attached with two, compression rubber bushes
which wind up torsionally in operation. Brackets, which are pressed onto the bushes, are attached to the cross member with
bolts. The stabilizer bar has plastic moulded, 'anti-shuffle' collars positioned on the inside edges of the bushes. The collars
prevent sideways movement of the stabilizer bar.

The links have a ball joint at each end, are fitted with hardened steel washers pressed onto the ballpins at both ends. The
bottom ball joint is attached to the link at 90 degrees to the link axis. The ball joint is located in a hole in the Lower control
arm and secured with the hardened steel washer on one side of the interface and a self-locking nut on the other. The top
ball joint is attached to the link at 90 degrees to the link axis. The ball joint is located in a hole in the end of the stabilizer
bar and secured with the hardened steel washer on one side of the interface and the self-locking nut on other.

provides for the attachment to the subframe. The bushes are located between brackets on the subframe and secured with
bolts and nuts. The Lower control arm has a platform which provides for the attachment of the air spring and a location
hole for the attachment of the stabilizer link.

The outer section of the arm has a second bush, that attaches to the forward end of the wheel knuckle by links which
provides castor control. Lugs at the rearward end of the Lower control arm attach to the wheel knuckle’s rear bush.

Tie Arm

The tie arm is pressed steel with one end having a bush pressed into a machined bore.

The inner bush locates between brackets on the subframe and is secured with a special eccentric bolt, washer and nut. This
allows for the adjustment of the rear wheel toe. Rotation of the bolt moves the eccentric head within a recessed slot in the

Overview

The purpose of the TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) is to assist the driver in maintaining the vehicle’s tire pressures
at the optimum level in order to:
improve fuel consumption

maintain ride and handling characteristics

reduce the risk of rapid tire deflation – which may be caused by under inflated tires

comply with legislation in relevant markets.

The TPMS measures the pressure in each of the tires on the vehicle and issues warnings to the driver if any of the
pressures deviate from defined tolerances.

NOTES:

During a ‘blow out’ a very rapid reduction in pressure is experienced. The system is not intended to warn the driver of
a ‘blow out’, since it is not possible to give the driver sufficient warning that such an event is occurring, due to its short
duration. The design of the TPMS is to assist the driver in keeping the tires at the correct pressure, which will tend to
reduce the likelihood of a tire ‘blow out’ occurring.

TPMS is inhibited when the vehicle is in Delivery mode. For more details on Delivery mode refer to the PDI manual.

A single TPMS hardware configuration is used. TPMS status information is relayed to the driver with a message displayed in
the IC message center and a warning indicator.

SYSTEM OPERATION

Tire Location

Because of the requirement for different pressure targets and thresholds for the front and rear tires, the CJB (Central
Junction Box) can identify the location of the tires on the vehicle, and assign a received tire pressure sensor identification to
a specific position on the vehicle (i.e. FL (front left), FR (front right), RL (rear left) or RR (rear right)).

Tire location is performed automatically by the CJB using an auto-location function. This function requires no manual
intervention by the driver. The CJB can automatically learn the position of tires on the vehicle if the Tire pressure sensors
or their positions are changed on the vehicle.

The tire learn and location process is ready to commence when the vehicle has been stationary or is traveling at less than
12.5 mph (20 km/h) for 15 minutes. This is known as 'parking mode'. The learn/locate process requires the vehicle to be
driven at speeds of more than 12 mph (20 km/h) for 15 minutes. If the vehicle speed reduces to below 12 mph (20 km/h),
the learn process timer is suspended until the vehicle speed increases to more than 12 mph (20 km/h), after which time
the timer is resumed. If the vehicle speed remains below 12.5 mph (20 km/h) for more than 15 minutes, the timer is set to
zero and process starts again.

The CJB can automatically detect, under all operating conditions, the following:

one or more tire pressure sensors have been replaced

one or more tire pressure sensor identifications are missing

one or more ‘alien’ identifications are being received, i.e. the CJB can reject identifications from tire pressure sensors that
do not belong to the vehicle

the spare tire and one of the tires in use on the vehicle have exchanged position on the vehicle.

If the tire pressure sensors fitted to the running wheels (not the spare) are changed, the CJB can learn the new sensor
identifications automatically. The learn function requires no manual intervention by the driver.

If a new sensor is fitted to the spare tire it must have its identification code programmed into the CJB using a Land Rover
approved diagnostic system.

NOTE: The TPMS valve should be serviced using the suitable service kit, each time the tyre is dismounted, to ensure
an air tight seal. Attention should be made to the detail of fitting this kit.

Care must be taken when removing and refitting tires to ensure that the tire pressure sensor is not damaged.
 

Item Part Number Description


1 - Tire valve and pressure sensor
2 - Tire fitting/removal tool initial start position
3 - High tire and bead tension area
4 - Low tire and bead tension area
When removing the tire, the bead breaker must not be used within 90 degrees of the tire valve in each direction.

When using the tire removal machine, the fitting arm start position must be positioned as shown in the tire changing
illustration. The wheel can then be rotated through 180 degrees in a counterclockwise direction. This will relieve the high
tension from the tire bead allowing the remaining 180 degrees of the tire to be manually pulled from the rim.

When refitting the tire, position the fitting arm as shown. Rotate the tire and take care that the bead on the low tension
side of the tire does not damage the sensor.

Tread Act - NAS Only

Vehicles supplied to the North American markets must comply with the legislation of the Transport Recall Enhancement,
Accountability and Documentation (TREAD) act. Part of the requirement of the TREAD act is for the vehicle to display a
label, positioned on the driver's side B-pillar, which defines the recommended tire inflation pressure, load limits and
maximum load of passengers and luggage weight the vehicle can safely carry. This label will be specific to each individual
vehicle and will be installed on the production line.

This label must not be removed from the vehicle. The label information will only define the specification of the vehicle as it
came off the production line. It will not include dealer or owner fitted accessory wheels and tires of differing size from the
original fitment.

NOTE: If tires and wheels of a non-standard size are fitted to the vehicle, the car configuration file must be updated
using a Land Rover approved diagnostic system.

If the label is damaged or removed for body repair, it must be replaced with a new label specific to that vehicle. A new
label is requested from Land Rover parts and will be printed specifically for the supplied VIN of the vehicle.

Spare Tire Identification

Depending on the vehicle specification, the spare tire may or may not be fitted with a tire pressure sensor.

NOTE: Tire pressure sensors cannot be fitted to steel space saver spare wheels.

If the spare tire is fitted with a tire pressure sensor, the CJB monitors its pressure and issue warnings to the driver
accordingly. If the CJB expects the spare tire to be fitted with a tire pressure sensor and it does not, the CJB will not show
a fault to the driver.

If the spare tire is being monitored and the driver replaces a flat ‘running’ tire with the spare tire, the CJB will not
continually warn the driver that the original flat tire (now in the spare position) is flat. This prevents distraction of the driver
by constant pressure warnings being issued. The driver is reminded by a message displayed for 20 seconds at each ignition
on cycle that the spare tire is flat.

Each time the vehicle is driven, the CJB transmits a Low Frequency (LF) (125 KHz) signal to each initiator in turn. This is
received by the tire pressure sensor which transmits a Radio Frequency (RF) (315 or 433 MHz depending on market) signal
to the RF receiver. This signal contains coded data which corresponds to sensor identification, air pressure, air temperature
and acceleration data. This signal is communicated to the CJB via a K-bus line.

The system enters 'parking mode' after the vehicle speed has been less than 12.5 mph (20 km/h) for 12 minutes. In
parking mode the tire pressure sensors transmit a coded signal to the CJB once every 13 hours. If the tire pressure
decreases by more than 1 lbf/in2 (0.6 bar) the sensor will transmit more often if pressure is being lost.

The spare tire sensor transmits a signal every 13 hours in the same manner as the road wheels when in parking mode. If
the tire pressure decreases by more than 1 lbf/in2 (0.6 bar) the sensor will transmit more often if pressure is being lost.

As each wheel responds to the LF signal from the CJB, it is assigned a position on the vehicle and is monitored for the
remainder of that drive cycle in that position.

When the vehicle has been parked for more than 15 minutes and then driven at a speed of more than 12.5 mph (20 km/h),
the initiators fire in turn for 18 seconds in the following order:

Front left

6 second pause (for the to detect a response from the tire pressure sensor)

Front right

6 second pause

Rear right

6 second pause

Rear left

6 second pause.

Each tire pressure sensor responds in turn so the CJB can establish the sensor positions at the start of the drive cycle. This
process is repeated up to three times but less if the sensor positions are already known in the CJB. The process is known
as 'Auto Location' and takes 7 to 8 minutes to complete. During this period the tire sensors transmit at regular intervals,
once every 15 seconds. For the remainder of the drive cycle the tire sensors transmit once every 60 seconds or if a change
in tire pressure is sensed until the vehicle stops and the system returns to parking mode.

Once the wheel position is established, the initiators stop firing a signal and do not fire again until the vehicle has been
parked for more than 15 minutes. The signal transmissions from each wheel sensor continue at 1 minute intervals whilst
the vehicle is being driven. This transmission is to monitor the tire pressure.

At 25% deflation (20% for EU vehicles) the amber warning indicator in the instrument cluster is illuminated and an
appropriate message displayed in the message center.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION

RF Receiver

The RF (Radio Frequency) receiver is mounted behind the overhead console and connects to the vehicle harness via a three
pin plug.

The RF receiver receives transmissions from each of the tire pressure sensors via an internal antenna. This information is
then communicated to the CJB via a dedicated K-bus.

Initiator
The initiators are located at the rear of the front wheel arches and at the rear of the rear wheel arches and are secured
with two scrivets. The TPMS has four initiators and each has a connector which connects with the body harness.

The initiator is a passive, LF (Low Frequency) transmitter. Each initiator provides an auto-location feature to identify tire
positions on the vehicle.

The CJB energizes each initiator in turn using LF drivers. The corresponding tire pressure sensor detects the resulting LF
transmission and responds by initiating an RF transmission of its data. This data is received by the RF receiver and
communicated to the CJB via a K-bus. The CJB can then determine which sensor is transmitting and its location on the
vehicle.

Tire Pressure Sensor

The TPMS system uses ‘active’ tire pressure sensors which are mounted on each wheel, inside the tire cavity. The sensor is
retained in position by the valve attachment to the wheel structure. The sensors transmit their RF signals at either 315 MHz
or 433 MHz dependent on market requirements.

The sensors periodically measure the pressure and temperature of the air inside the tire plus the centripetal acceleration
acting on the sensor. These measurements are transmitted periodically to the RF receiver located behind the overhead
console.

The tire pressure sensors are self-contained units which have no electrical connections into or out of the sensor.

The care points detailed in the 'Tires' section of this chapter must be followed to avoid damage to the sensor. If the sensor
is replaced, the nut, seal and washer must also be replaced and the sensor tightened to the correct torque value as given in
the Service Repair manual.

The RF transmission from the sensor contains a unique identification code in its transmission data, so that the CJB can
identify the tire on the vehicle. If the sensor is replaced on a 'running' wheel, the new sensor identification will be learnt
when the vehicle is first driven at a speed of more than 12.5 mph (20 km/h) for 15 minutes. If a new sensor is fitted to the
spare wheel, the identification for that sensor must be programmed into the CJB using a Land Rover approved diagnostic
system or that wheel will not be monitored. The code is provided on a label with the complete wheel and tire assembly
when new and is also printed on the casing of each sensor.
In order to conserve battery power, the tire sensor module uses different transmission rates when the wheel is stationary or
moving. The wheel speed required to change between the stationary and moving transmission rates is very low to allow for
the requirement for slow off-road driving. If the sensors are not sealing, a service kit should be used replacing the nut and
rubber seailing washer.

Instrument Cluster Indications

The warning indications to the driver are common on all vehicles fitted with TPMS. Warnings are conveyed by an amber
LED (Light Emitting Diode) warning indicator and a message displayed in the message center.

The warning indicator and message center are driven by high speed CAN Powertrain messages from the CJB. The warning
indicator is illuminated by the cluster software continuously when the tire pressure is low and will flash for 75 seconds in a
case pf a failure.

For additional information, refer to: Instrument Cluster (413-01 Instrument Cluster, Description and Operation).

Controller Area Network (CAN)

The CJB sends and receives a number of digital messages via the high speed CAN Powertrain, and medium speed CAN Body
bus. The received messages are used for the operation of the TPMS. The transmitted messages comprise of TPMS status
and requests to the instrument cluster to illuminate warnings indicators and/or display messages in the message center.

Transmitted Messages

The CJB transmits the messages shown in the following table.

Message Received By
TPMS diagnostic response A Land Rover approved diagnostic system.
TPMS amber warning indicator request at 25% tire deflation Instrument Cluster
TPMS message display request Instrument Cluster
Current Tyre Pressures Instrument Cluster
Recommended Tyre Pressure Data Instrument Cluster
Diagnostics

The CJB has a diagnostic connection via the high speed CAN Powertrain bus to enable system status and faults to be
retrieved using a Land Rover approved diagnostic system.

Additionally, an on-board diagnostic routine within the CJB constantly monitors the system and alerts the driver to system
faults by illuminating the amber warning indicator and/or displaying a message in the instrument cluster message center.

Fault Detection

If a sensor fails, the amber warning indicator in the instrument cluster will be illuminated. A message 'XX Tire Not
Monitored' will be displayed in the message center in addition to the amber warning indicator.

NOTE: 'XX' is the tire position on the vehicle, e.g. FL (front left), FR (front right), RL (rear left) or RR (rear right).

If more than one sensor fails or the CJB develops a fault, the amber warning indicator will be illuminated. A message 'Tire
Monitoring System Fault' will be displayed in the message center in addition to the amber warning indicator. This fault could
also be caused if RF interference near the vehicle affects the system signal reception. When the interference has ceased,
the fault will be automatically cancelled and the TPMS will operate normally.

If a tire pressure sensor battery voltage becomes low, the sensor transmits a message to the CJB. The CJB stores the low
battery condition in its memory with no other visual warnings displayed. If the battery fails, the sensor will stop
transmitting and the CJB will transmit a message to display 'FL Tire Not Monitored' for example in the message center. The
dealer should interrogate the CJB for the fault flag using a Land Rover approved diagnostic system to determine the cause
of the message. If the battery has failed, the sensor must be replaced and the stored fault flags removed using a Land
Rover approved diagnostic system. The CJB will learn the identification of the new sensor when the vehicle is driven. If the
replaced sensor is fitted to the spare wheel (if fitted), its identification must be manually programmed into the CJB using a
Land Rover approved diagnostic system.

Diagnosis and Testing

Principles of Operation

For a detailed description of the wheels and tires, refer to the relevant description and operation section in the workshop
manual.
REFER to: Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) (204-04 Wheels and Tires, Description and Operation).

Inspection and Verification

CAUTION: Diagnosis by substitution from a donor vehicle is NOT acceptable. Substitution of control modules does not
guarantee confirmation of a fault, and may also cause additional faults in the vehicle being tested and/or the donor vehicle.

1. Verify the customer complaint. As much information as possible should be gathered from the driver to assist in
diagnosing the cause(s). Confirm which of the following two warning types (A or B) exist for the tire pressure
monitoring system when the ignition status is switched from 'OFF' to 'ON'
(A) Check Tire Pressure Warnings. A low tire pressure warning will continuously illuminate the low tire
pressure warning lamp. This warning may be accompanied by a text message such as CHECK TIRE
PRESSURE (refer to owner literature). The manufacturer approved diagnostic system does NOT need to be
used. Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) are not generated with this type of warning. To extinguish this
warning it is essential that, with the ignition 'ON', all vehicle tires (including the spare) are to be set to the
correct pressure as stated in the vehicle handbook or as indicated on the placard label in the passenger/driver
door aperture. It is not necessary to drive the vehicle to clear 'check tire pressure' warnings - just
changing the tire pressure causes the tire low pressure sensor to transmit new data.
NOTES:

The tire pressures should be set by:

Using a calibrated tire pressure gauge


With 'cold' tires (vehicle parked in the ambient temperature for at least one hour, not in a garage with
an artificial ambient temperature)

If the tire pressure warning does not clear within two minutes, it is likely that the gauge is not correctly
calibrated or the tires are 'warm'. Carry out the following steps until the warning has cleared:

Rotate wheels approximately 180 degrees


Increase the tire pressures by 3psi
Wait a further two minutes
When the tires are at ambient temperature and a calibrated gauge is available, reset the tire
pressures to the correct pressure

Tire pressure adjustments are part of routine owner maintenance. Tire pressure adjustments that are
required due to a lack of owner maintenance are not to be claimed under vehicle warranty

(B) System Fault Warnings. When a system fault is detected, the low tire pressure warning lamp will flash
for approximately 75 seconds prior to being continuously illuminated. Visually inspect wheel arch tire pressure
monitoring system antennas and check for system DTCs. External visual damage to the tire low pressure
sensors and air leaks will not cause system fault warnings (note: nut and seal system should be replaced at
each tyre change using the available service kit). Check for the presence of tire low pressure sensors on all
four wheels (note: a tire low pressure sensor has a metal valve stem rather than a rubber one).

2. Check for diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and refer to the DTC index

DTC Index

For a list of diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) that could be logged on this vehicle, please refer to Section 100-00. REFER to:

OVERVIEW

Adaptive damping is an electronically controlled suspension system which continuously adjusts the damping characteristics
of the suspension dampers in reaction to the prevailing driving conditions.

The system is controlled by an ISCM (Integrated Suspension Control Module). The module receives signals from three
accelerometers, four suspension height sensors and other vehicle systems to determine vehicle state, body and wheel
motions and driver inputs. These signals are used by the control module to continuously control the damping characteristics
of each damper to the appropriate level resulting in optimum body control and vehicle ride.

DESCRIPTION

Dampers

Item Part Number Description


A - Front damper and air spring assemblies.
B - Rear dampers (air springs shown for clarity).
The adaptive damping dampers are mono-tube, nitrogen gas and oil filled units. The dampers are continuously variable,
which allows the damping force to be electrically adjusted when the vehicle is being driven. The dampers provide the
optimum compromise between vehicle control and ride comfort. To maintain wheel travel, the rear dampers feature an
additional external accumulator. This is to provide adequate rebound travel by recovering the volume through the external
source. All the dampers have an electrical connector on the end of the piston rod, in the centre of the top mount.

In each damper, the damping adjustment is achieved by a solenoid operated variable orifice, which opens up an alternative
path for oil flow within the damper. When de-energized, the bypass is closed and all the oil flows through the main (firm)
valve. When energized, the solenoid moves an armature and control blade which works against a spring. The control blade
incorporates an orifice which slides inside a sintered housing to open up the bypass as required. In compression, oil flows
from the lower portion of the piston through a hollow piston rod, a separate soft (comfort) valve, the slider housing and
orifice and into the upper portion of the damper, thereby bypassing the main (firm) valve. In rebound, the oil flows in the
opposite direction.

The damper operates continuously between these two boundary conditions.

The solenoid in each damper is operated by a 526 Hz PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signal from the ISCM. When fully
energized, the control module applies a 1.5A current to operate the damper in the soft setting. When de-energized (0.0A),
the damper transfers to the firm setting. The current varies continuously as required to increase and decrease the damping
individually in each of the dampers.

Integrated Suspension Control Module
The ISCM is located in the right rear quarter panel.

Accelerometers

Three accelerometers are used in the adaptive damping system located:

Rear
Front right
Front left

Refer to component location graphic above.

The accelerometers measure acceleration in the vertical plane and output a corresponding analogue signal to the ISCM. The
algorithms in the ISCM calculate the heave, pitch and roll motions of the vehicle, which are used by the controller to control
road induced body modes.

Each accelerometer is connected to the ISCM via three wires, which supply ground, 5 V supply and signal return.

The sensing element comprises a single parallel plate capacitor, one plate of which moves relative to the other dependent
on the force (acceleration) applied. This causes the capacitance to change as a function of applied acceleration. This
capacitance is compared with a fixed reference capacitor in a bridge circuit and the signal is processed by means of a
dedicated integrated circuit to generate an output voltage that varies as a function of applied acceleration. The sensors
output a signal voltage of approximately 1 V/g ± 0.05 V/g.

Height Sensors

The four suspension height sensors that are used in the air suspension system also supply input to the adaptive damping
system, two for the front suspension and two for the rear suspension. On each suspension height sensor, the sensor arm
and sensor link convert linear movement of the suspension into rotary movement of the sensor shaft.

The suspension height sensors measure suspension displacement at each corner of the vehicle and output a corresponding
analogue signal to the ISCM. The algorithms in the ISCM calculate the position, velocity and frequency content of the
signals and use the results for wheel control.

The following graph shows the vehicle height displacement from normal against output voltage for the front height sensors.
The centre line represents the "nominal" condition but depending on tolerances, the actual line may lie anywhere between
the upper and lower lines.

The following graph shows the vehicle height displacement from normal against output voltage for the rear height sensors.
The centre line represents the "nominal" condition but depending on tolerances, the actual line may lie anywhere between
the upper and lower lines.

Rear Height Sensor


Height Sensor Calibration

A calibration routine is performed using the Land Rover approved diagnostic system to read the position of each corner of
the vehicle and record the settings in the control module memory. Once set, the calibration is not required to be performed
unless the ISCM is removed or replaced, a height sensor is removed or replaced or a suspension arm to which the sensor is
connected is removed or replaced. If the removed height sensor is subsequently refitted, the calibration procedure will have
to be performed to ensure the integrity of the system.

If a replacement drop link is fitted calibration is required.

The sensing element consists of an array of Hall-effect devices arranged to measure the direction of the magnetic field of a
small magnet attached to the end of the sensor shaft. As the sensor shaft rotates, so do the lines of magnetic flux from the
magnet. The signals from the Hall-effect elements are processed by means of a dedicated integrated circuit to generate an
output voltage that varies as the sensor shaft is rotated. The sensor has a measurement range of ± 40° around its nominal
position and the nominal sensitivity is 57 mV/° of shaft rotation. The graphic below describes the repetition of the output
signal as the sensor is rotated through and beyond 40°.

OVERVIEW

The air suspension system is a four corner system, electronically controlled by an ISCM. The ISCM reacts to inputs from
four height sensors and operates an air supply unit and valve blocks.

The air suspension system maintains the vehicle height under all operating conditions by controlling the mass of air in the
air springs. The ISCM uses signals from the four height sensors to maintain the correct suspension height, irrespective of
vehicle load. Additionally, the system allows the driver to request ride height changes to improve off-road performance or
ease of access or loading. This is achieved by the ISCM functioning pneumatic control valves to increase or decrease the
mass of air in the air springs.

The air suspension system has four driver selectable, pre-determined ride-height states. A driver interface indicates the
selected ride state and height change movement. Additional information is also relayed to the driver via the instrument
cluster message centre and by audible warnings also transmitted by the instrument cluster.

Most height changes can only be made when the engine is running and the driver's and passenger doors are closed.

The air suspension can be controlled manually by the driver using a switch on the floor console to select the required height
change.

The system will temporarily inhibit height adjustments when the vehicle is subject to cornering, heavy acceleration or
heavy braking. The inhibit function prevents unsettling of the vehicle.

Height changes are also restricted for safety reasons, for example when a door is opened and the vehicle is stationary.

The control module performs 'on-board diagnostic' functions to perform 'health checks' on the system. If faults are
detected, codes are stored in the control module and can be retrieved using a Land Rover approved diagnostic system.

DESCRIPTION

Front and Rear Valve Blocks

The front valve block controls the air supply and distribution to the front air springs. The front valve block contains three
solenoid operated valves; two corner valves and one cross-link valve.

The rear valve block controls the:

air supply and distribution to the rear air springs, and


controls air distribution to and from the air reservoir.

The rear valve block contains:

two corner valves


one cross-link valve
one reservoir valve
the system’s pressure sensor.

Each of the valve solenoids is individually controlled by the Integrated Suspension Control Module. The solenoids have the
following resistance values:

Valve Resistance at 25°C (±10%)


Front corner valves 6.8 Ohms
Front and rear cross link valves 3 Ohms

Suspension air supply unit

Item Part Number Description


1 - Electric motor
2 - Air dryer
3 - Compressor
The suspension air supply unit comprises the following major components:

A two-stage piston compressor


A 12V electric motor
A solenoid operated exhaust pilot valve
A pneumatically operated exhaust slave valve
An air dryer unit
A compressor temperature sensor

The air supply unit is protected by an acoustic box which tilts to allow access to the vehicle battery.
 

Item Part Number Description


1 - Suspension air supply unit's acoustic box upper part
2 - Suspension air supply unit
3 - Suspension air supply unit's acoustic box lower part with bracket
The acoustic box, which comprises of two parts; upper and lower, surrounds the suspension air supply unit. The acoustic
box is a plastic moulding which is lined with insulating foam which suppresses the operating noise of the suspension air
supply unit.

The suspension air supply unit supplies dry compressed-air into the air suspension system where it is directed into the air
springs or the reservoir by solenoid operated valves. Air can be exhausted from the system when required by the opening
of an air spring or reservoir valve in addition to the exhaust valve, which is part of the air supply unit.

The compressor operates to pressurize either the reservoir or to inflate one or more of the air springs. The compressor will
not operate without the engine running, with the following exceptions:

During remote operation to raise the vehicle to allow for the attachment of a trailer
When under control of a Land Rover approved diagnostic system.

There are a number of conditions that will inhibit operation of the suspension air supply unit. It is vitally important that
these system inhibits are not confused with a system malfunction. A full list of air supply unit inhibits are given in the
compressor of this document.

Electric Motor

The electric motor is a 12 volt DC (Direct Current) motor with a nominal operating voltage of 13.5 volt. The motor drives a
crank which has an eccentric pin to which the two-stage piston assembly is attached.

Compressor
The compressor comprises a motor driven two-stage piston assembly which operates in cylinders at opposite ends of the
compressor body. The motor rotates a crank which moves the pistons up and down in their cylinder bores. The low-
pressure cylinder delivers intermediate compressed air to the high-pressure cylinder on the down stroke. The high-pressure
piston delivers fully compressed air with the up stroke which is passed, via the delivery valve, through the air dryer and
into the air suspension system.

The cylinder head is fitted with a temperature sensor. The sensor is connected to the ISCM which monitors the cylinder
temperature and can suspend compressor operation if an overheat condition occurs.

The following table shows the control module operating parameters for the differing air supply unit functions and the
permitted compressor cylinder head operating temperatures.

Operating Condition Reservoir Filling Leveling


Switch off 125°C 130°C
Switch on 105°C 120°C
Air Dryer

Attached to the compressor is the air dryer which contains a desiccant for removing moisture from the compressed air.
Pressurized air is passed through the air dryer which removes any moisture in the compressed air before it is passed into
the suspension system.

When the air springs are deflated, the exhaust air passes back through the air dryer, removing the moisture from the unit
and regenerating the Desiccant.

The air dryer is an essential component in the system ensuring that only dry air is present in the system. If moist air is
present, freezing can occur resulting in poor system operation or component malfunction or failure.

To ensure the air-dryer continues to perform correctly, it is essential during servicing, that

• the affected air springs are deflated using the correct deflation procedure
• air is removed from the air reservoir using the correct procedure.

Pilot Exhaust Valve

The exhaust valve operates when the pilot exhaust valve is opened, allowing air to be exhausted quickly.

The slave exhaust valve also provides the system pressure relief function which protects the air suspension system from
over inflation. The valve is pneumatically operated, responding to air pressure applied to it to overcome force from its
internal spring. The valve is connected into the main pressure gallery.

The minimum pressure in the system is also controlled by the slave exhaust valve to ensure that, even when deflated, the
air springs contain a positive pressure with respect to atmosphere. This protects the air spring by ensuring it can still 'roll'
over the piston without creasing.

Air Supply Unit Specifications

Description Value
Working pressure 16.5 bar gage
Mechanical pressure relief range 22.0 to 27.0 bar gage
Operating voltage 10 to 16.5 Volts (13.5 Volts nominal)
Running current consumption 25-35 Amps RMS depending on load
Maximum start-up current 110 Amps
Pilot Exhaust Valve - Solenoid valve resistance at 25°C (77°F) 15.7 Ohms ± 10%
Resistance values will vary with coil temperature. Resistance of test leads must be measured before any readings are taken.
Resistance value of the test leads must be subtracted from final solenoid resistance value.

Air Reservoir

The reservoir is an air storage vessel which provides fast air suspension lift times by the immediate availability of
pressurized air into the system.

The ISCM assumes the reservoir has sufficient pressure, which is measured before a vehicle raise is started. The control
module then uses a software model to operate the compressor as required.
The rearward end of the reservoir has a 'Voss' air fitting which provides for the connection of the air hose between the
reservoir and the rear valve block.

The reservoir has a capacity of 11 litres. The nominal working pressure of the reservoir is 16.5 bar gage.

Air Springs

Item Part Number Description


A - Front air spring and damper assembly
B - Rear air springs (dampers shown for clarity)
The air springs work on the same principle but the front and rear components differ in construction:

the front units are integral with damper


the rear units are separate from the damper.

The air springs are manufactured from a flexible rubber and each air spring forms an air tight cavity which provides the
required spring rate for each corner of the vehicle.

As the air spring is compressed, the rubber material rolls onto the air spring’s piston, compressing the air inside. An air
connection port is located on the top of each spring and allows air to be added or removed from each spring. The port is
connected via a Voss connector and a plastic tube to the front or rear valve block.

Replacement of an individual air spring does not require a full depressurization of the air suspension system. Only the
corner concerned need be depressurized. This is achieved using routines in the Land Rover approved diagnostic system.

When servicing of an air spring or a full system depressurization is required, the weight of the vehicle must be supported
before the system is depressurized. On reassembly, the pipes between air springs and the valve blocks must be must be
connected at both ends before the weight of the vehicle is applied to the air springs. Rear air springs must also be
pressurized before the weight of the vehicle is applied to them.

Integrated Suspension Control Module

The air suspension system is controlled by the ISCM. The control module monitors the height of each corner of the vehicle
via four height sensors, which are mounted in-board of each road wheel.

When a new ISCM is fitted, the air suspension system will not function until the air suspension software is loaded and the
system calibrated using a Land Rover approved diagnostic system.

Calibration
A calibration routine is performed using the diagnostic system to access the position of each corner of the vehicle and
record the settings in the control module memory. Once set, the calibration is not required to be performed unless the:

ISCM is replaced
height sensor or its bracket is removed, disconnected or replaced
suspension arm to which the height sensor is connected is removed or replaced

Periodic Wake-Up Mode

When the vehicle is parked, the ISCM 'wakes up' two hours after the ignition was last switched off and once every twenty
four hours thereafter. The vehicle height is checked and if the vehicle is not level within a pre-set tolerance, small
downwards height adjustments may be made automatically.

Ride Height Tolerance Control

The ISCM has two ride height tolerance bands: normal tolerance and tight tolerance.

The control module considers the vehicle to be at target height if the current height is within the appropriate tolerance
band. Height adjustments are not made until the vehicle height falls outside of the tolerance band for a pre-determined
time. The time period is different depending on whether the vehicle is moving or stationary. The tolerance bands are as
follows:

• Normal ± 9 mm
• Tight ± 3 mm.

The tight tolerance band is only used in the following conditions:

if set by the Land Rover approved diagnostic system for diagnostic purposes
when the vehicle has been stationary for more than 15 minutes

The tight tolerance band will also be activated by the following procedure:

1. Start the engine


2. Set the suspension to Normal height
3. Open the driver's door
4. Depress the brake pedal lightly three times in quick succession.
5. Close the driver's door within 10 seconds of the first brake pedal depress.

If the procedure has been successful the instrument pack will emit two soft chimes about 1 second after the driver's door is
closed. Thereafter the instrument pack will emit two soft chimes each time the driver's door is closed to confirm that tight
tolerance mode is still active.

This tight tolerance mode will be cancelled when the engine is turned off or the vehicle speed exceeds 8 km/h (5 mph).

The driver can manually select, using the air suspension switch, one of four ride states:

NORMAL - this height is the normal operating height of the vehicle


OFF-ROAD - this is higher than the on-road height and provides improved ground clearance, approach, departure
and break-over angles up to speeds of 80 km/h (50 mph).
ACCESS - this is lower than the on-road height and provides easier access, agrees and the vehicle loading.
Locked at access - this allows the vehicle to be driven at the access height at speeds up to 40 km/h (25 mph) to
provide increased roof clearance in low car parks, for example.

Vehicle height changes are restricted if the ISCM receives a 'Door Open' signal and the speed is less than 8 km/h (5 mph).

A complete vehicle delivery mode is available but is only selectable using the Land Rover approved diagnostic system. When
this mode is active most vehicle systems, in addition to the air suspension, are inhibited or restricted to a minimal
functionality. In this mode the air suspension is set to the transportation mode.

If the ISCM senses that the vehicle has grounded and lost traction, the control module can temporarily increase the volume
of air supplied to the air springs to maximize the available traction. This is known as extended mode and will be indicated
to the driver by the lamps on the air suspension switch flashing and an 'EXTENDED MODE' message being displayed in the
IC (Instrument Cluster).
For additional information, refer to: Instrument Cluster (413-01 Instrument Cluster, Description and Operation).

If a fault is detected by the ISCM, the control module will reduce the system functionality dependent on the type and
severity of the fault. The control module will also store a fault code which can be retrieved using the Land Rover approved
diagnostic system. If a severe fault occurs, the control module will attempt to put the vehicle in a safe condition. A fault is
relayed to the driver by the instrument cluster message centre and an audible warning emitted from the instrument cluster.

All information messages will be displayed for four seconds.

Air Suspension Switch Pack


 

Item Part Number Description


1 - Lower suspension height
2 - Raise suspension height
3 - Off-road height indicator
4 - Normal height indicator
5 - Access height indicator
6 - Suspension locked in access height - indicator
The air suspension control switch is located in the floor console, behind the transmission selector. The switch is a three
position, non-latching switch which allows selection of the following driver selectable states:

Off-road mode
Normal height
Access height
Locked at access height

The switch has six symbols which illuminate to show the current selected height state and the direction of movement. The
raise and lower symbols will flash and a warning tone will be emitted from the instrument cluster sounder when a
requested height change is not allowed, for example, when the vehicle speed is too fast.

A flashing height symbol indicates that the air suspension system is in a waiting state or that the system will override the
driver's selection because the speed is approaching an automatic height change threshold.

The driver can also ignore the system's warnings signals and allow the height to change automatically. For example,
increasing the vehicle speed to more than 40 km/h (25 mph) when locked to access height will cause the control module to
automatically change the ride height to on-road mode.

Normal Height
This is the normal ride height for the vehicle.

Off-Road Mode

Off-road height can be selected from normal height by pressing up on the raise/lower switch (1) at any speed up to 70
km/h (43 mph). The message centre will display OFF-ROAD HEIGHT SELECTED.

The Off-road height is dependent upon vehicle speed. The Off-road height selected will be confirmed with an Off-Road (1)
or (2) icon in the Touch screen display when in the 4x4 info menu.

Off-Road 1 height is 35 mm (1.4 in) above normal height up to 80 km/h (50 mph).

Off-Road 2 height is 65 mm (2.6 in) above normal height up to 50 km/h (31 mph).

The suspension height can change automatically between these heights.

Off-Road 2 can be selected when at Off-Road 1 height by pressing up on the raise/lower switch when travelling less than 40
km/h (25 mph). To select normal height, press down on the raise/lower switch (2) or increase the speed above 80 km/h
(50 mph).

Access Height

Access height provides easier entry, exit and loading of the vehicle.

Access height can be selected at any vehicle speed. When access height is selected, the response of the air suspension
system will depend on the vehicle speed:

If the vehicle speed is more than 20 km/h (12.5 mph), the ISCM will wait for up to one minute for the vehicle speed
to be reduced. The access mode indicator and the lowering indicator will flash while the ISCM waits for the vehicle
speed to be reduced; the Normal height indicator will remain illuminated. If the vehicle speed is not reduced
sufficiently, the access height request will be cancelled after 1 minute.
If the vehicle speed is less than 20 km/h (12.5 mph), the ISCM will lower the suspension to a part lowered height
and will remain at this height for up to one minute. The Normal height indicator will extinguish as the ISCM lowers
the suspension to the part lowered height. The access height indicator and the lowering indicator will illuminate.
When part lowered is reached, the lowering indicator will flash. If the vehicle speed is not reduced to less than 8
km/h (5 mph) in the one minute period, the access height request will be cancelled.
If the vehicle speed is less than 8 km/h (5 mph), the suspension will be lowered to access height immediately. The
access height indicator and the lowering indicator will illuminate. When the access height is reached, the lowering
indicator will be extinguished.

Access height may be selected up to 60 seconds after the ignition is turned off, provided that the driver's door has not been
opened within this time.

The suspension will automatically rise from access height when the vehicle speed exceeds 10 km/h (6.2 mph). If access
height was selected directly from off-road mode then the system will return to off-road mode when the vehicle speed
exceeds 10 km/h (6.2 mph). Otherwise the system will lift the suspension to Normal height.

Selecting Access Height Directly from Off-Road Mode

When the suspension is in off-road mode, pressing the 'Access' height change switch once, or pressing the lowering switch
twice before the lowering indicator is extinguished, the control module will lower the suspension to access height. The
control module will remember to return the suspension to off-road mode automatically if the vehicle speed increases above
10 km/h (6.2 mph).

Locked at Access Height

Locking the suspension at Access height allows the vehicle to be driven at low speeds with the suspension locked at the
access height. This allows the vehicle to be driven in low car parks etc. with increased roof clearance.

When the vehicle is at Access height and travelling less than 35 km/h (22 mph), press down on the raise/lower switch (2)
for longer than 1 second. The system lock indicator (5) will illuminate and SUSPENSION LOCKED AT ACCESS HEIGHT will be
displayed in the message centre.

To cancel this mode, press up on the raise/lower switch (1) for longer than 1 second or increase the speed to 40 km/h (24
mph).

Automatic Height Change Warnings

When the suspension is locked at access height, the ISCM will change the suspension height automatically when the vehicle
speed exceeds 40 km/h (24 mph). The control module issues a warning to advise the driver that the vehicle is approaching
the speed threshold when the speed reaches 35 km/h (22 mph). The IC sounder will emit a chime, a message will be
displayed in the message centre and the Normal height indicator and the raising indicator will flash.

The warning is removed when the vehicle speed is reduced.

SPECIAL MODES

Door Open Functionality

If one or more of the vehicle doors are opened during a height change when the vehicle is stationary, the ISCM will restrict
further height change.

The indicator on the air suspension display for the target height will remain illuminated and the raising or lowering indicator
will flash.

If all of the doors are closed within 90 seconds, the height change will resume. If the 90 second period is exceeded, the
message 'CONFIRM REQUIRED SUSPENSION HEIGHT' will be displayed in the instrument cluster.

Extended Modes

Raise Inhibit

Raise inhibit is a reactive mode invoked when the following conditions are satisfied, vehicle speed below 10 km/h (6 mph)
and vehicle raising very slowly. Raise inhibit is normally invoked when vehicle is lifting against an obstacle, it can also be
used when the vehicle is winching or is tethered down.

Jacking

Jacking is a reactive mode invoked when the following conditions are satisfied, vehicle stationary, system attempts to level
the vehicle down and rate of vehicle lowering is below a predefined threshold for a predefined time. Jacking mode is
normally invoked under the following conditions, vehicle jacking or vehicle grounded and stationary

Lower Inhibit

Lower inhibit is a reactive mode invoked when the when rate of vehicle lowering is below a predefined threshold for a
predefined time during a downward height change. Lower inhibit is normally invoked when the vehicle is lowered onto an
obstacle.

Belly-Out

Belly-Out is a pro-active mode invoked when the following conditions are satisfied, vehicle moving and speed is below 20
km/h (12.5 mph). Traction activity is induced on axle pairs for fixed period of time and wheel heights above a
predetermined threshold on coinciding axle pairs for the same fixed period of time. Belly-Out is normally invoked under the
following condition, vehicle is attempting to move and with low levels of traction and supported by an obstacle.

If the vehicle body is raised, for example by a jack, or grounded in severe off-road conditions, the system may
automatically enter Extended Mode. Indicators in the raise/lower switch will flash and the message centre will display
SUSPENSION IN EXTENDED MODE.

The suspension can rise automatically to assist in clearing the obstacle. Once extended mode height has been achieved, the
driver may request additional lifting if required. This is achieved by pressing up and holding the raise/lower switch for
longer than 3 seconds while pressing the brake pedal.

Extended mode is cancelled by pressing down on the raise/lower switch (2) or when the vehicle speed confirms that the
body is no longer lifted or grounded.

Extended mode cannot be selected manually.

Transportation Mode

When transportation mode is active, the air suspension switches are disabled. Periodic re-levelling is also disabled.

When the engine is started, the ISCM will cause the vehicle to rise allowing sufficient ground clearance for the vehicle to be
loaded. While the height is changing, all the indicators in the air suspension control switch will flash and a chime will be
emitted by the instrument cluster. When the sufficient height reached, all the indicators will illuminate continuously and the
chime will stop.

When the engine is switched off, the ISCM will cause the vehicle to lower allowing the vehicle to be strapped down. While
the height is changing, all the indicators in the air suspension control switch will flash. When the low height is reached, all
the indicators will illuminate continuously.

Calibration Mode

This mode is used when the ISCM has been replaced or a height sensor or suspension component has been dismantled or
replaced.

The following conditions apply when the vehicle is in calibration mode:

The ride height is set to tight tolerance


Fault reaction to VIN (vehicle identification number) mis-match with the Car Configuration File (CCF) is disabled
The raise, lower, access and hold switches are disabled
Message "Air suspension not in customer mode" is displayed in the instrument cluster.

Remote Operation
The buttons on the Smart Key may be used to operate the air suspension system, allowing the vehicle to be raised or
lowered remotely. This may be useful in attaching a trailer or loading the vehicle.

To change the suspension height using the Smart Key, the vehicle must be stationary, all the doors closed and the hazard
warning lamps switched on.

To raise the vehicle suspension, press buttons 1 and 2 simultaneously.

To lower the vehicle suspension, press buttons 1 and 3 simultaneously.

LEAK DETECTION

Leak detection can be carried out using a Land Rover approved leak detection spray.

If the vehicle appears to be leaking, perform a leak check on all aspects of the system, for example, air spring hose fittings
and the associated connections on the valve blocks, air springs and reservoir. Failure to correctly diagnose leakage will
result in unnecessary exchange of serviceable components and recurrence of the original problem.

OPERATION

Under normal operating conditions, the ISCM keeps the vehicle level at the 'current' ride height. The incoming height signals
from the sensors are passed through filters to remove irregular signals produced by road noise or other irregularities. When
the vehicle is stationary or a height change is in progress, the signals are passed through a 'fast' filter, which tracks the
true rate of change of height. When the vehicle is moving, the signals are passed through a 'slow' filter. The 'slow' filtered
signals remove almost all road noise from the signals and output a true long term average for each corner height. The
'slow' filtered signals cannot be used to respond quickly during height changes.

The ISCM monitors each corner height signal using the fast filtered signals if the vehicle is stationary or the slow filtered
signals if the vehicle is moving. If the height remains in a 'dead band' which is ±9 mm from the target height, the control
module does not implement any height adjustment changes. When the control module detects that a corner has moved
outside of the 'dead band', the control module operates the compressor and/or the valves to raise or lower the
corresponding corner(s) back into the target height.

System Inhibits

A number of conditions exist where a change in ride height is undesirable. To counter this, the ISCM is programmed with a
number of system inhibits. If any of the conditions detailed below exist, the ISCM will suspend height changes and height
corrections.

Air Supply Unit

System Pressure

The compressor will not start if the system pressure is greater than 4 bar.

Compressor Temperature

A temperature sensor is located within the compressor to prevent overheating. If the temperature of the compressor
cylinder head rises above pre-set limits, the ISCM will inhibit the compressor operation.

Cornering

If the ISCM registers a cornering force greater than 0.2g it will inhibit all height changes and corrections. The system will
remain inhibited until the cornering force falls to less than 0.15g. The ISCM receives a message from RCM (Restraints
Control Module) - incorporating the yaw rate lateral acceleration sensor - on the high speed CAN (Controller Area Network)
Chassis bus for the cornering force.

Rapid Acceleration

If the ISCM registers a rapid acceleration greater than 0.2g it will inhibit all height changes and corrections. The system will
remain inhibited until the rapid acceleration falls to less than 0.15g. Acceleration is calculated by the ISCM from a vehicle
speed signal received via the high speed CAN Chassis bus.

Rapid Deceleration

If the ISCM registers a rapid deceleration smaller than - 0.2g it will inhibit all height changes and corrections. The system
will remain inhibited until the rapid deceleration rises above - 0.15g. Deceleration is calculated by the control module from
a vehicle speed signal received via the high speed CAN Chassis bus.

Door Open

The ISCM will stop all height change requests while any of the doors are open. Vehicle levelling continues with a door open
by keeping the vehicle at the height when the door was opened if the vehicle load changes. Door open status is ignored
when the vehicle speed is above 8 km/h (5 mph).

DIAGNOSTICS

The ISCM can store fault codes which can be retrieved using a Land Rover approved diagnostic system. The diagnostics
information is obtained via the diagnostic socket which is located below the instrument panel, above the driver's foot
pedals.

The diagnostic socket allows the exchange of information between the various control modules on the bus systems and the
Land Rover approved diagnostic system. This allows the fast retrieval of diagnostic information and programming of certain
functions using the Land Rover approved diagnostic system.

Fault Messages

The air suspension has two methods which it can use to inform the driver of a fault in the air suspension system; the air
suspension control switch indicators and the instrument cluster message centre.

If the ISCM suffers a major failure and there is no air suspension control, all the control switch indicators will remain unlit.

If a fault occurs and the control module can determine the ride height and the vehicle is not above on-road height, the
driver will be notified via a message in the message centre. If the control module cannot determine the height of the
vehicle, or the vehicle is above Normal height and cannot be lowered, a message is displayed and accompanied with a
maximum speed message.

If a fault is detected within the DSC (Dynamic Stability Control) the message 'SUSPENSION LOWERED FOR SAFETY' and a
chime will be emitted. This is not a fault with the air suspension system. The fault should be investigated and rectified as
soon as possible.
For additional information, refer to: Instrument Cluster (413-01 Instrument Cluster, Description and Operation).

OVERVIEW

In operation the two-channel Dynamic Response System maintains the attitude of the vehicle body when cornering. The
system is both electrically and hydraulically operated and controlled by the DRM (Dynamic Response Control Module)
located on the driver's side 'A' post, behind the instrument panel.

The Dynamic Response System uses a two-channel operation to independently control the front and rear axles. This system
transforms vehicle handling and occupant comfort by dramatically reducing the amount of body lean during cornering.

The latest two channel technology has allowed the system to be tuned to deliver increased low-speed agility, along with
enhanced control and stability at speed.

A new comfort mode feature improves ride comfort by detecting and eliminating the body rock induced by uneven road
surfaces. If the system detects off-road conditions, the control module isolates the stabilizer bar and reduces the level of
roll compensation, to allow greater wheel articulation therefore increasing the contact with the terrain.

The system has two operating modes, such as Normal and Dynamic, which is controlled via the TR (Terrain Response)
switchpack. The Dynamic mode gives reduced roll, and a more agile response during cornering.

To improve comfort, the system’s level of roll-assistance is also reduced as a function of road roughness and vehicle speed.

The following illustrations demonstrate the difference in body angle between a vehicle fitted with conventional ‘passive’
stabilizer bars and a vehicle fitted with the Dynamic Response System.

Item Part Number Description


A - Direction of travel - Right hand bend
B - Body roll
C - Axle roll
D - Tire squash
E - Stabilizer bar
F - Direction of stabilizer bar twist
G - Dampers
H - Drive line roll angle
I - Reduced body roll with Dynamic Response System
With the same cornering forces applied a 'passive' system will have a greater roll-angle than a vehicle fitted with a Dynamic
Response System. The Dynamic Response System allows minimal roll up to 0.4g then progressive roll there after.

The Dynamic Response System is also able to modify the handling balance of the vehicle, that is the understeer/oversteer
characteristics, by applying a different pressure to both the front and rear stabilizer bar actuators. This provides a more
agile vehicle at lower speeds, while providing a more composed feel at high speed.

The system also acts to reduce roll accelerations due to uneven road surfaces. The Dynamic Response System can detect
when the vehicle is being driven off-road and if the vehicle is travelling at 25 mph (40 km/h) or less. In these
circumstances the DRM will reduce the roll compensation. In circumstances when driving on side-slopes of more than 11
degrees the Dynamic Response System will switch to a 'locked bars' condition at slow speed. The 'locked bars' condition will
allow the stabilizer bars to operate in a similar manner as conventional 'passive' stabilizer bars.

CAUTION: The Dynamic Response hydraulic system is extremely sensitive to the ingress of dirt and debris. The
smallest amount can cause the system to become unserviceable. It is imperative that the following precautions are
observed:

Dynamic Response components are thoroughly cleaned externally before work commences
All opened pipe and component ports are capped immediately
All fluid is stored in clean containers.

DESCRIPTION

Fluid Reservoir and Filter

The fluid reservoir and system filter is located in the front left hand side of the engine compartment. The reservoir is
attached to the suspension tower.

The reservoir is a molded plastic container with a breathable cap.

Dynamic response fluid reservoir


 

Item Part Number Description


1 - Filler cap
2 - Rubber mounts
3 - Feed connection to hydraulic pump
4 - Return connection from valve block
5 - MAX and MIN level markings
Two connections on the bottom of the reservoir provide for connection of the feed pipe to the pump and the return pipe
from the valve block.

The reservoir contains the main filter for the system which acts on the fluid returning from the valve block; a coarse nylon-
mesh filter removes particulate matter from the fluid before it is drawn into the pump. The filter, and if required the
reservoir, must be changed at the intervals defined on the vehicle service schedule and if a system hydraulic component is
replaced.

Upper and lower fluid level marks are molded onto the reservoir body.

Dynamic Response Hydraulic Pump

The Dynamic Response Hydraulic Pump is located on the left hand side of the engine. The pump is attached to a mounting
bracket above the air conditioning compressor. The pump is driven by the auxiliary drive belt from the crankshaft.

The engine driven hydraulic pump supplies a constant hydraulic flow to the valve block.

Dynamic response hydraulic pump


Dynamic Response Hydraulic Pump Internals

Item Part Number Description


1 - Inlet port
2 - Outlet port
3 - Silencer volume
4 - Shaft
5 - Shaft seal
6 - Pulley
7 - Discharge valve
8 - Piston spring
9 - Piston
10 - Cylinder housing
11 - Cam ring
12 - Counter balance
The hydraulic pump is driven at approximately 1.7 times crankshaft speed by the auxiliary drive belt. The pump is a radial
piston type which can deliver an almost constant flow rate of fluid across the engine speed-range.

It has eight pistons located in bores in a cylinder block. A balanced central shaft which has an eccentric cam operates the
pistons as the shaft rotates, the shaft driven by a balanced pulley.

The cam acts against each piston in turn, and pushes it outward, moving the fluid above the piston. The pressure created
by the fluid flow from the bore opens a spring loaded discharge valve. When the valve opens, the pressurized fluid flows,
via the silencer volume area of the pump housing, to the outlet port. The silencer volume assists with damping out
operating noise from the pump. When the piston reaches its full stroke, the flow reduces and the discharge valve closes
under spring pressure.

As the cam moves away from the piston, a spring pushes the piston down the bore, creating a vacuum above the piston. As
the piston moves down the bore, ports in the piston are exposed and connect with the fluid inlet port. The vacuum draws
fluid into the piston filling the piston and the chamber above it. As the piston is again pushed upwards, the ports in the
piston are closed off by the bore and the pressurized fluid opens the discharge valve and flows to the outlet port.

The above sequence is applied to each of the eight pistons for every revolution of the shaft and cam. When the engine is
running the sequence occurs rapidly creating a constant flow of fluid. The fluid flow varies with engine speed and the
rotational speed of the shaft up to its maximum value at 1000rpm. The pressure applied to the actuators, created by the
flow from the pump, is controlled by the valves in the valve block.

The pump has a displacement of 6cm3/rev and an operational pressure of 180 bar (2610 lbf/in2). The pump output flow
ranges from 6.5 l/min (1.7 US Gallons/min) at idle to 10 l/min (2.64 US Gallons/min) at 1000 rev/min and above.

Dynamic Response Valve Block

The valve block is located below the left hand sill of the body and is secured via a bracket with four bolts to the body.
Three rubber bushes isolate the valve block from the bracket to prevent hydraulic noise from transmitting through the body.

Item Part Number Description


1 - Pressure control valve
2 - Proportional directional control valve
3 - Safety control valve
4 - Pressure sensor
5 - Hydraulic ports
6 - Isolator mounts
The valve block controls hydraulic pressure to each actuator through two solenoid-operated proportional directional control
valves. A solenoid-operated pressure control valve regulates the required pressure in the system. All three solenoid valves
are controlled by signals received from the DRM. Five pressure transducers monitor the pressure generated by the PCV
(Pressure Control Valve) and the pressure in the individual actuator lines.

The valve block also contains a Safety Control Valve which is closed when the vehicle is stationary and open when the
vehicle is moving.

The valve and solenoids within the valve block are not serviceable parts.

The Pressure Sensors screw into the valve block and are sealed by a cone seat. The Pressure Sensor measures the
hydraulic pressure and returns a signal to the DRM.

The valve block also contains a Pressure Relief Valve which protects the system in the event of a stuck PCV or PCV power
supply short to battery Voltage.

Six ports are located on the underside of the valve block. Each port is fitted with a seal pack which contains two 'o' rings
and backing rings. The pipes locate and seal in the seal packs and are secured to the valve block with a keeper plate,
collets, studs and nuts. These seal packs are serviceable.

Stabilizer Bars and Dynamic Response Actuators

Two stabilizer bars with integral hydraulic actuators are used for the Dynamic Response System. The actuators apply a
hydraulically generated force or rotational torque to the stabilizer bar to oppose lateral forces caused by the vehicle
cornering.

7 - Bracket
Dynamic Response Actuator

Item Part Number Description


1 - Stabilizer bar
2 - Air bleed-port screws
3 - Piston
4 - Ball screw
The front and rear actuator assemblies are similar in their construction. The actuators are not interchangeable parts with
L405.

Each actuator has a piston which is attached to the inner part of a rota-linear ball screw, which is splined to one half of the
stabilizer bar. The outer part of the ball-screw is welded into a housing which is attached to the other half of the stabilizer
bar. As pressure is applied to one side of the piston or the other, the ball screw converts the linear force applied to the
piston into a rotational torque between the two halves of the stabilizer bar.

Two hydraulic connections provide for the attachment of the hydraulic pipes from the valve block. The connections provide
hydraulic flow to each side of the actuator piston.
Each stabilizer bar is made from a cast steel arm attached to a 40mm (1.57in) diameter steel tube.

The actuator assembly and the stabilizer bars are not serviceable items. Only the stabilizer bar attachment bushes, brackets
and stabilizer links are serviceable components.

The front and rear stabilizer links are not handed and common to those used on passive cars. The front stabilizer bar and
actuator is attached the front subframe forward of the front wheels. Two serviceable, split rubber bushes are fitted to the
stabilizer bar and are located in clamp brackets. Each bracket is secured to the subframe with two bolts.

The rear stabilizer bar and actuator is attached to rear subframe, rearward of the rear wheels. Two rubber bushes are fitted
to each stabilizer bar and are located in clamp brackets. The front and rear bushes and brackets are not interchangeable.

On both the front and rear stabilizer bars, roll correction force is transmitted to the suspension arm via ball jointed
stabilizer bar links. The front links are attached to the front damper unit and the rear links are attached to the rear lower
arm.

System Pipes

Fluid is moved through the Dynamic Response System via a series of six pipes and hoses. The pipes are mounted on
brackets at strategic points to provide quiet operation of the system.

The pipes connecting the pump, reservoir and actuators are one-piece components. If the pipes require replacement during
service, the pipes are supplied as either a front and rear bundle. The flexible hose which supplies pressure from the pump
to the high pressure pipe is fitted with attenuators. The attenuators comprise of tuned lengths of PTFE pipe and restrictors
within the flexible hose. The attenuators damp pressure pulsations in the hydraulic fluid produced by the pump, reducing
noise and strain on components downstream. The attenuator is integral with the high pressure hose and cannot be serviced
separately.

A cooler is fitted in the primary circuit to maintain fluid temperature within an acceptable working range.

CAUTION: Under no circumstances during repairs should clamps be used on the high pressure hose or the front and
rear actuator feed pipes to prevent fluid loss. The use of clamps will damage the pipes and hoses leading to premature
failure.

Dynamic Response Control Module

The DRM is located on the driver's side 'A' post, below the instrument panel. The DRM is secured to a bracket with three
nuts. Three connectors are located on the lower face of the DRM and allow for the connection of the harness connectors.
The three connectors supply:

power

ground

signal and

sensor information,

to and from the DRM for control of the Dynamic Response System.

Accelerometers
Two accelerometers are used, an upper and a lower. Both accelerometers are identical in their construction. The lower
accelerometer is secured to the underside of the vehicle floor, on the left hand inner sill panel, below the front door. The
upper accelerometer is secured to a bracket on the body roof panel, in a central position at the top of the windscreen.

The lower accelerometer is the primary sensor used to measure lateral acceleration of the vehicle for roll control. The upper
accelerometer is used by the DRM for roll correction and fault detection in conjunction with the lower accelerometer.

Each accelerometer is a capacitive acceleration sensor and operates on a 5 volt supply from the DRM. The upper and lower
accelerometers can measure acceleration in the range of ±1.11 g and return an output to the DRM of between 0.5 and 4.5
volt. Failures of an accelerometer are recorded by the DRM and can be retrieved using Land Rover approved diagnostic
equipment.

OPERATION

The DRM receives a power supply from the main relay in the EJB (Engine Junction Box).

Vehicle lateral acceleration is sensed by two accelerometers. Signals from these together with the steering angle sensor and
vehicle speed are transmitted to the DRM.

An engine speed signal is transmitted to the DRM from the ECM (Engine Control Module) via the high-speed CAN (Controller
Area Network) Powertrain bus. The engine speed signal is used by the DRM to detect that the engine is running and
hydraulic pressure for the Dynamic Response System is available.

A road speed signal is transmitted to the Dynamic Response Control Module from the ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System control
module) on the high-speed CAN Powretrain. A steering-angle signal is transmitted on the high-speed CAN Chassis bus from
the SASM (Steering Angle Sensor Module) via the GWM (Gateway Module). The DRM uses the steering angle signal to
improve system response and uses steering angle and road speed signals to calculate lateral acceleration.

When reverse gear is selected and reverse wheel-rotation is transmitted on the high-speed CAN Powretrain bus, the
Dynamic Response System reverts to a 'locked bars' condition by closing the Safety Control Valve. This condition is
maintained until reverse gear is deselected and a forward wheel-rotation message is transmitted on the CAN bus.

The DRM receives an ignition on signal on the high-speed CAN Chassis bus. The ignition signal provides an input into the
DRM to inform the control module that the ignition is on. The control module initiates a 250 millisecond start time which is
used to prevent functions operating when the software routines are being initialized.

When the "ignition on" CAN signal is removed, the DRM senses that the ignition has been switched off. The control module
remains powered for a 60 second period to allow fault information and adaptive values to be stored in the memory.

The values and fault information are read by the control module when the ignition is next switched on. The module is
permanently powered by a direct feed from the fuse box and operation is controlled by a hardwired ignition signal. The
DRM is connected on the high speed CAN Powretrain and Chassis bus too. The diagnostic connector allows diagnostic
interrogation of the control module. The diagnostic connector allows for the connection of a Land Rover approved diagnostic
equipment to read any stored fault codes in the control module. The control module can also be updated with revised
software should a software update be required.

The DRM supplies a control current to the Pressure Control Valve and Proportional Direction Control Valves in the valve
block. The currents supplied are determined by a number of input signals, fpr example from the upper and lower
accelerometers, road speed, steering angle etc. The Proportional Directional Control Valves controls the hydraulic pressure
supplied to the actuators proportional to the current supplied by the control module, to a level determined by the
calibration in the control module.

The DRM supplies a current to the Safety Valve to hold it open during normal operation when the vehicle is moving.

The pressure transducer located in the valve block receives a 5 volt current from the control module. The transducer
measures the hydraulic pressures in the range of 0 to 200 bar (0 to 2900 lbf/in2) and returns a linear output voltage to the
control module dependent on the hydraulic pressure.

The DRM supplies a 5 volt current to each of the accelerometers. Each accelerometer is capable of measuring lateral
acceleration in the range of ± 1.11 g. An analogue input to the control module of between 0.5 and 4.5 volt relative to the
lateral acceleration sensed is returned by each accelerometer. The control module processes the two signals received,
together with the steering angle and vehicle speed signals, to produce a 'pure' lateral acceleration signal which is then used
as the main control signal for the Dynamic Response System.

When system faults are detected, the control module issues a message on the high speed CAN Powertrain bus which is
received by the instrument cluster. The instrument cluster then illuminates Dynamic Response warning indicator as follows:
Minor faults - warning indicator illuminated in an amber color with an applicable message in the message center.
Major faults - warning indicator illuminated in a flashing red color with an applicable message in the message center
and an audible warning.
The message will instruct the driver to stop the vehicle immediately or drive with caution. Two messages relating to
Dynamic Response are displayed in the instrument cluster message center:
- SUSPENSION FAULT, VEHICLE LEAN, WHEN CORNERING.
- SUSPENSION FAULT, STOP SAFELY, STOP ENGINE.

Failure Modes

In the event of a control module failure the system will 'fail-safe' to a 'locked bars' condition. Prolonged cornering forces
will allow a progressive increase in roll angle due to hydraulic leakage through the actuators and valve block. Failures of the
system are relayed to the driver by an audible warning chime and a message displayed in the instrument cluster message
center. Faults are recorded by the control module and can be retrieved using approved Land Rover diagnostic equipment.

When the ignition switch is switched on, the warning indicator is illuminated for two seconds to check functionality.

A Land Rover approved diagnostic system must also be used to perform a bleeding procedure after repair or maintenance
operations have been performed on the secondary circuit, and also to perform an hydraulic system response test to confirm
correct operation has been re-established. This is to ensure that the system is completely free from air. Trapped air in the
system can significantly reduce system performance and result in fault codes being set.

Failures where the vehicle can still be driven safely are indicated by the Dynamic Response warning indicator in the
instrument cluster illuminating continuously in an amber color. The amber indicator will remain illuminated until the ignition
is switched off. For all faults, the warning indicator will only illuminate again if the fault is still present. Additionally the
following message will be displayed: "SUSPENSION FAULT Vehicle Lean When Cornering".

Failures which require the driver to stop the vehicle immediately are indicated by the air suspension/Dynamic Response
warning indicator flashing in a red color and an audible warning. This will also be accompanied by an applicable message
displayed in the message center: "SUSPENSION FAULT Stop Safety and Quicqly Stop Engine".

All faults are recorded by the control module and can be retrieved using a Land Rover approved diagnostic system. The
diagnostic system provides a description of the fault, possible causes and corrective action to rectify the fault. The control
module can fail to one of two states; 'locked bars' or 'reduced operation'.

The 'locked bars' condition means that pump flow is directed through the valve block and returns to the reservoir. The
Safety Valve is close, trapping the fluid in the actuators. The fluid can flow from one actuator to the other via the valve
block. The stabilizer bars will perform similar to a conventional stabilizer bar, resisting roll but still allowing suspension
articulation.

The 'reduced operation' condition means that the system can still operate, but one of the input signals is not being received
and so the system performance is not optimum.

If the SASM develops a fault or is out of calibration, there is a possibility that the DRM will record a fault code. The IDS
(Integrated Diagnostic Software) should be used to check for fault codes and the adaptive data should be cleared by
resetting the fault codes in the control module after the SASM has been recalibrated.

Vehicle Not Moving

When the engine is running and the vehicle is not moving, the Safety Valve is closed, locking fluid in each side of the
actuator piston. The hydraulic pump draws fluid from the reservoir and passes it at low pressure to the valve block.

Because the Safety Valve is closed, the fluid it is directed through the Pressure Control Valve to the reservoir.

The Pressure Control Valve is open fully to allow the full flow to pass to the reservoir without an increase in system
pressure. The Safety Valve will remain closed until the control module detects a requirement to operate.

Vehicle Moving and Turning Left

When the vehicle is turning left, the SASM detects steering angle and the accelerometers detect the cornering forces
applied. These signals are transmitted to the control module. The control module determines that an opposing force must
be applied to the stabilizer bars to counter the cornering forces. The control module supplies a current to the correct coil of
the front and rear Proportional Directional Control Valves. Simultaneously, a current is supplied from the control module 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 transducers
which send a signal to the control module. The control module determines from the inputs it receives what pressures are
required and adjusts the pressures accordingly.

The pressures in the system are applied to the piston of each actuator, applying a force to the stabilizer bar and minimizing
the cornering effect on the vehicle and maintaining the vehicle attitude. The fluid displaced from the other side of the piston
is returned to the reservoir via the valve block.
As the cornering force is removed when the vehicle straightens up, the control module modulates the Proportional
Directional Control Valves and 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 applied to the stabilizer bar.

Vehicle Moving and Turning Right

When the vehicle is turning right, the SASM detects steering angle and the accelerometers detect the cornering forces
applied. These signals are transmitted to the control module. The control module determines that an opposing force must
be applied to the stabilizer bars to counter the cornering forces. The control module supplies a current to the correct coil of
the front and rear Proportional Directional Control Valves. Simultaneously, a current is supplied from the control module 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 transducers
which send a signal to the control module. The control module determines from the inputs it receives what pressures are
required and adjusts the pressures accordingly.

The pressures in the system are applied to the piston of each actuator, applying a force to the stabilizer bar and minimizing
the cornering effect on the vehicle and maintaining the vehicle attitude. The fluid displaced from the other side of the piston
is returned to the reservoir via the valve block.

As the cornering force is removed when the vehicle straightens up, the control module modulates the Proportional
Directional Control Valves and 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 applied to the stabilizer bar.

Vehicle Moving in a Straight Line

The control module is constantly monitoring the signals received and operates the Proportional Directional Control Valves
and Pressure Control Valve to maintain the vehicle attitude when the vehicle is moving. When the vehicle comes to rest the
Safety Valve will remain open for 15 seconds to allow for any air suspension leveling operations to be performed prior to
closure.

Off-Road Driving

Off-road detection is achieved by the control module 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 center of the vehicle.

The two signals are passed through a filter to remove any offset caused by the vehicle leaning or the terrain. The control
module 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 control module to limit the operation
of the Dynamic Response System. At speeds above 25 mph (40 km/h) the system disables the percentage road roughness
signal and full Dynamic Response System assistance is restored. The system is completely inoperative at speeds below 2
mph (3 km/h).

Side Slope Detection

The control module uses side slope detection when the upper and lower accelerometers detect an average acceleration of
more than ± 0.2 g or 11 degrees of side slope and a road speed of less than 25 mph (40 km/h).

When side slope is detected, the Safety Valve is closed to provide a 'locked bars' condition. This condition increases stability
and gives a constant 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 recognize that the vehicle is on a side slope. If the
side slope angle is steep and the road speed is low, the control module will detect the side slope in a short time.

Check

CAUTION: Dynamic response system (DRS) components are manufactured to very precise tolerances. It is therefore
essential that absolute cleanliness is observed when working with these components. Always install blanking plugs to any
open orifices or lines. Failure to follow this instruction may result in foreign matter ingress to the DRS.

NOTES:

The first part of this procedure should be carried out if the following components have been removed: suction hose,
pump, high pressure hose, cooler, cooler return to reservoir. The full procedure is required if the following components
have been removed: front or rear valve block to actuator pipe assemblies, or the valve block. It is possible to bleed only
the front or rear of the system if only a stabilizer bar has been removed.

If the vehicle has had low fluid level and there is a possibility that the car has been driven in this condition, then air is
likely to have moved into the secondary circuit and a full system bleed is required.

Within the special application for DRS in SDD here are 2 routines for bleed.

1. Manual bleed is the primary function that should be used in conjunction with the bleed bottle. Its function is to
open the safety control valve (SCV) and proportional direction controls valves (PDCV) so that fluid can flow through
the valve block to the actuators.

2. Auto bleed can be used to displace air that is trapped within the valves/valve block that has not been displaced
by the manual bleed process, it will not remove air from the actuator or actuator pipes.

For front actuator removal or replacement use Steps 1-11, 14-19, 24-25 and 27-31.

For rear actuator removal or replacement use Steps 1-9, 14-15 and 20-31.

Primary circuit bleed:

1. Check and top-up the dynamic response system fluid


reservoir. Then squeeze the suction hose (feed hose to
pump from reservoir) several times to displace air that
may be trapped under the fine mesh of the reservoir
suction side filter.
Adjustment
1. Install the new adaptor to the Dynamic response bleed bottle.

2. NOTE: Install the special tool to the dynamic


response reservoir. Section 2 to 4 is only required if the
reservoir has been drained and or pump /suction hose has
been changed.

Completely fill the reservoir with fluid.


Make sure the pressure regulator on the special
tool is turned OFF.
Fill the special tool bottle approximately three-
quarters full with fluid.
Connect the special tool to a suitable workshop air
supply.
Using the special tool pressure regulator, carefully
increase the air pressure to approx. 5 - 10 PSI /
0.3 - 0.7 kPa.
Special Tool(s): 204-591-01, JLR-204-591-03

3. Start engine and run for 1 minute.

4. WARNING: The special tool is still pressurised when the source


air pressure is removed. Release air pressure within special tool slowly
before removing. Remove the special tool from the dynamic response
system reservoir.

5. Check that there is fluid circulating in the reservoir and stop engine.
Then squeeze the suction hose (feed hose to pump from reservoir)
several times to displace air that may be trapped under the fine mesh
of the reservoir suction side filter.

6. Run the engine, stopping and starting several times. Each time allow
the air bubbles to settle out of the fluid in the reservoir and then
squeeze the suction hose to release any trapped air. This is to
encourage any air trapped in the primary circuit to be expelled by the
reservoir. For suction hose, pump, high pressure hose, cooler, cooler
return to reservoir, the removal and installation process is now
complete. Make sure that the fluid level is set to maximum line and
move to step 33 Hydraulic self-test, otherwise move to step 7.

7. WARNING: Make sure to support the vehicle with axle stands.

Raise and support the vehicle.

8. NOTE: Follow manual bleed procedure where the following


components have been removed: Valve block, front or rear valve block
to actuator pipe assemblies, or actuator.

For secondary circuit bleed steps 1 to 7 must have been completed


first, install / re-attach the special tool as per step 2 of adjustment.

9. Attached approved diagnostic tool and navigate to dynamic response


special application manual bleed.

10. Refer to: Engine Undershield (501-02 Front End Body Panels, Removal
and Installation).

11. Remove the front bleed screw covers.


12. Remove the rear bleed screw covers.

13. For valve block or pipe removal and replacement, open all four
actuator bleed screws by half a turn.

14. Start manual bleed in approved diagnostic tool, this will open the
safety control valve (SCV) and move the proportional direction control
valves (PDCV) to the correct position.

15. CAUTION: The dynamic response bleed tool fluid reservoir must
remain full with new, clean fluid, at all times during bleeding.

Bleed the dynamic response system until a flow of clean, air-free fluid,
is being pumped into all four bleed jars and close bleed screws.

16. NOTE: RH side only

air pressure is removed. Release air pressure within special tool slowly
before removing. Remove the special tool from the dynamic response
system reservoir.

Stop the manual bleed in approved diagnostic tool and check the
bleed.

25.  
Check front bleed:
Disconnect only one front stabilizer link. Stroke the arm up and
down free play travel should be less than ±10mm. If greater
than ±10mm travel observed and/or spongy feeling a system
re-bleed will be required.

26.  
Check rear bleed:
Disconnect only one rear stabilizer link. Stroke the arm up and
down free play travel should be less than ±10mm. If greater
than ±10mm travel observed and/or spongy feeling a system
re-bleed will be required.

27. Repeat steps 14-23 if required.

28. Torque front and rear stabilizer links to the required torque. Tighten
the bleed screw to 15 Nm.

29. Install the bleed screw covers.

30. Refer to: Engine Undershield (501-02 Front End Body Panels, Removal
and Installation).

31. Make sure that the fluid level is set to maximum line.

32. If the valve block has been replaced run the auto bleed procedure from
within SDD to release air that may be trapped in the block. This
requires the engine to be running. Using SDD clear pressure sensor
adaptive data.

33. Using approved diagnostic tool carry out hydraulic system response
test to confirm correct system operation.

34. Drive the vehicle for approximately 15 minutes performing manoeuvres


which energise the system and include wheel inputs.

to the next step

4. If the cause is not visually evident, verify the symptom and refer to the symptom chart, alternatively check for
diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and refer to the DTC index

Identify the Condition

Gear Howl and Whine

Howling or whining of the ring gear and pinion is due to an incorrect gear pattern, gear damage or incorrect bearing
preload

Bearing Whine

Bearing whine is a high-pitched sound similar to a whistle. It is usually caused by worn/damaged pinion bearings, which are
operating at driveshaft speed. Bearing noise occurs at all driving speeds. This distinguishes it from gear whine which is
speed dependent
As noted, pinion bearings make a high-pitched, whistling noise, usually at all speeds. If however there is only one pinion
bearing that is worn/damaged, the noise may vary in different driving phases

A wheel bearing noise can be mistaken for a pinion bearing noise

Chuckle

Chuckle that occurs on the coast driving phase is usually caused by excessive clearance between the differential gear hub
and the differential case bore

Damage to a gear tooth on the coast side can cause a noise identical to a chuckle. A very small tooth nick or ridge on the
edge of a tooth can cause the noise

Knock

Knock, which can occur on all driving phases, has several causes including damaged teeth or gearset
A gear tooth damaged on the drive side is a common cause of the knock

Clunk

Clunk is a metallic noise heard when the automatic transmission is engaged in REVERSE or DRIVE. The noise may also
occur when the throttle is applied or released. Clunk is caused by transmission calibration, backlash in the driveline or loose
suspension components and is felt or heard in the vicinity of the rear drive axle

Bearing Rumble

Bearing rumble sounds like marbles being tumbled. This condition is usually caused by a worn/damaged wheel bearing. The
lower pitch is because the wheel bearing turns at only about one-third of the driveshaft speed. Wheel bearing noise also
may be high-pitched, similar to gear noise, but will be evident in all four driving modes

DRIVESHAFT - COMPONENT LOCATION

Item Part Number Description


1 - Rear driveshaft
2 - Front driveshaft

INTRODUCTION

Driveshafts are used to transmit drive from the transfer case to the front and rear differentials.

The front driveshaft is a one piece unit, connected to the transfer case and front differential unit via CV (Constant Velocity)
joints.

The rear drive shaft is a two piece unit, supported on a central bearing due to its increased length. The rear driveshaft is
connected to the transfer case and the rear differential via CV and UJ (Universal Joint) joints. These joints allow for angular
deviations of the driveshaft due to acceleration and braking.

The front and rear driveshafts are not serviceable items and failure will require the replacement of the complete driveshaft
assembly.

FRONT DRIVESHAFT
 

Item Part Number Description


1 - Direct Torque Flow connection (DTF)
2 - Driveshaft
3 - Constant Velocity (CV) Joint

The front driveshaft is fitted with a CV joint at each end. On one end, the CV joint uses a 6 bolt fixing which allows for
attachment to the output flange of the transfer box. On the other end, the CV joint is pushed into place on the front
differential pinion shaft and secured by retaining nut.

The CV joint that has a 6 bolt fixing, has 3 compression link washers that are fitted under each pair of bolts. The washers
are required to prevent compression of the CV joints attachment flange.

The CV joint that is pushed into place on the front differential pinion shaft, is known as a DTF (Direct Torque Flow) plunging
CV joint. This is designed to allow more torque and power to be transmitted to the front differential, improve driveshaft
imbalance and also reduces noise, vibration and harshness (NVH).

REAR DRIVESHAFT

Item Part Number Description


1 - Universal Joint (UJ)
2 - Bolts (4 Off)
3 - Front Driveshaft
4 - Shaft Bearing Assembly
5 - Bolts (2 Off)
6 - Rear Driveshaft
7 - Direct Torque Flow connection (DTF)

The rear driveshaft comprises of a front and rear shaft assemblies and a centrally mounted shaft bearing.

FRONT DRIVESHAFT ASSEMBLY

The front shaft assembly incorporates a crash feature within the tube, which controls the collapse of the driveshaft during a
crash.

The front shaft assembly comprises a UJ or CV joint at the front, which is attached to the transfer case flange using a 4 bolt
fixing or a 6 bolt fixing for CV joint, and a splined shaft at the rear; that is attached to the internal spline bore of the rear
driveshaft assembly via the shaft bearing assembly.

REAR DRIVESHAFT ASSEMBLY

The rear shaft comprises of an internal spline bore, which is attached to the input shaft of the front driveshaft assembly via
the shaft bearing assembly and a DTF joint that is pushed into place on the rear differential pinion shaft and secured by a
retaining nut.

SHAFT CENTER BEARING ASSEMBLY

The shaft bearing assembly comprises an extruded aluminium housing, a rubber bush and a ball bearing. The rubber bush
is bonded into the housing. An internal metal ring, bonded to the bush, allows for the bearing to be press fitted into it. The
rubber bush allows for small deviations in alignment and also absorbs vibrational forces. The shaft bearing assembly is
secured by bolts, which are located into BIW bracket.

OVERVIEW

The differential has two functions:

to convert the 'angle of drive' through 90° and distribute drive, via the rear drive halfshafts, to the rear wheels.
to compensate for differences in the rotational speeds of the vehicle's rear wheels during cornering.

Depending on vehicle specification there are two types of differential installed:

open differential
electric differential.

Both types of differential are attached to the rear subframe at four mounting points. Each mounting point incorporates a
rubber bush to reduce NVH (noise, vibration and harshness). The bushes in the forward mounting points are installed in the
differential. The bushes in the rear mounting points are installed in the rear subframe. A damper weight attached to the
rear of the differential is used to control torsional vibrations.

DESCRIPTION
Open Differential

The open differential is a conventional design using a hypoid gear layout.


For additional information, refer to: Specifications (205-02 Rear Drive Axle/Differential, Specifications).
.

The aluminum casing comprises two parts; a cover and a carrier. The carrier provides locations for all the internal
components. The cover is sealed to the carrier with Loctite RTV sealant and secured with bolts. The cover and carrier have
cast fins, which assist rigidity and cooling. A breather cap is fitted to the top of the carrier.

The open differential contains a quantity of oil for splash lubrication of the internal components. A magnetic drain plug is
installed in the bottom of the carrier and a filler/level plug is installed in the cover.

The pinion shaft has an externally splined end which offers a direct connection to the driveshaft via the DTF (Direct Torque
Flow) connection. In comparison to the conventional flange connection the DTF connection provides:

Reduced weight due to fewer components.


Smaller outer diameter.
Improved driveshaft imbalance.
Reduced assembly time.

The pinion shaft has a hypoid gear at its inner end, which mates with the crown wheel drive gear.

The crown wheel drive gear is located on the differential carrier and secured with bolts. The differential carrier is mounted
on taper roller bearings located in machined bores in the carrier and the cover. Shims are installed behind the bearing cups
to apply the correct bearing preload and hypoid backlash.

The differential carrier has a through hole, which provides location for a cross shaft. The planet gears are installed on the
cross shaft, with thrust washers between the planet gears and the differential carrier. A roll pin locks the cross shaft to the
differential carrier.

The sun gears are located in pockets in the differential carrier and mesh with the planet gears. Belville washers are fitted
between the sun gears and the differential carrier and set the correct mesh contact between the planet gears and the sun
gears. Each sun gear has a machined bore with internal splines and a machined groove. The splines transfer drive to the
rear drive halfshafts. The groove provides positive location for the snap ring fitted to the inboard end of the rear drive
halfshafts.

Oil seals are installed in the carrier and the cover to seal the rear drive halfshafts.

Electric Differential

The electric differential has the same functionality as the open differential, but it also incorporates a locking and torque
biasing function to give improved traction performance and vehicle dynamic stability. Operation of the electric differential is
controlled by the RDCM (Rear Differential Control Module).

The basic construction of the electric differential is similar to the open differential. However, the electric differential also has
the following:

Two additional planet gears in the differential carrier, to cater for the higher torque through the differential during
locking events.
A multi-plate clutch and actuator assembly installed on the left-hand sun gear.
A motor and reduction gearbox, attached to the cover.
An oil temperature sensor installed in the cover.

The RDCM operates the motor of the electric differential under the control of the (ISCM) Integrated Suspension Control
Module.

The multi-plate clutch is contained in a clutch basket attached to the differential carrier with the crown wheel securing
bolts. Alternate plates of the clutch pack are keyed to the clutch basket and the left-hand sun gear. A pressure disc is
installed on the outer end of the clutch pack and keyed to the clutch basket. A thrust race on the end of the clutch basket
incorporates lugs which extend through the clutch basket onto the pressure disc.

The actuator assembly is mounted on bearings on the outboard end of the clutch basket, against the thrust race. The
actuator assembly consists of input and output actuators separated by five ball bearings. A locking pin in the cover engages
with a slot in the output actuator to prevent it turning, but allow it to move axially. The input actuator engages with the
reduction gearbox and is free to rotate relative to the cover. Ball bearings locate in curved grooves in the mating faces of
the input and output actuators. The bottom surface of each groove incorporates a ramp. Rotation of the input actuator
forces the ball bearings up the ramps in the grooves and induces an axial movement in the output actuator. The thrust race
and pressure disc transfer the axial movement from the output actuator to the clutch pack.
 

Item Part Number Description


1 - Actuator
2 - Multi-plate clutch
3 - Differential
The motor is a 12 V DC motor that adjusts the frictional loading of the multi-plate clutch, via the reduction gearbox and the
actuator assembly, under the control of the RDCM. Adjusting the frictional loading of the multi-plate clutch adjusts the
locking torque between the crown wheel drive gear and the sun wheel.

Four bolts attach the motor to the reduction gearbox, which is located in position on the cover with two dowels, and
secured with four bolts. An O-ring seals the joint between the motor and the reduction gearbox.

The motor is driven by a 12 V DC feed direct from the RDCM. The motor also incorporates the following connections with
the RDCM:

A motor temperature sensor, to prevent excessive use from damaging the motor.
Two Hall effect motor position sensors, to enable closed loop control of the motor.

The temperature sensor provides a differential oil temperature signal to the RDCM, to prevent excessive use from damaging
the multi-plate clutch.

Rear Differential Control Module

The RDCM controls operation of the electric differential. The RDCM is attached to a bracket located on the right-hand side
of the luggage compartment.

The RDCM receives three battery feeds from the RJB (Rear Junction Box) and an ignition feed from the CJB (Central
Junction Box). A connection with the high-speed CAN (Controller Area Network) Powertrain bus allows the RDCM to
communicate with other systems on the vehicle.

A certain amount of differential slip is required to allow the vehicle to turn corners and to remain stable under control of
the ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System control module) . The ISCM monitors the driver's demands through primary vehicle
controls and automatically sets the slip torque in the differential. The system is completely automatic and does not require
any special driver input.

The differential strategy in the ISCM includes:

A pre-loading function, increasing locking torque with increased driving torque.


A slip controller to decrease locking torque for optimum comfort, for example when parking.

The ISCM memorizes the position of the motor when the ignition is switched off.

CAN bus messages used by the ISCM include wheel speed, steering angle, automatic transmission speed, temperature
information, car configuration, axle ratios and mode inputs.

The ISCM also sends messages via the high speed CAN Powertrain and Chassis bus to tell other control modules on the
network the status of the electric differential. The clutch torque and default mode status are some of the main signals sent
out by the ISCM.
If the RDCM or ISCM are replaced, a Land Rover approved diagnostic system must be connected to the vehicle and the
differential self-calibration procedure must be performed. This procedure must also be performed if the motor or electric
differential is replaced.

If a fault occurs with the electric differential, the ISCM, the RDCM, or one of the required input signals, the ISCM records an
error code and displays a warning in the message center.

The following messages can be displayed:

Message Description Chime


E-DIFF NOT Differential temperature has reached the overheat threshold. System deactivated until Single
AVAILABLE temperature returns within limits.
E-DIFF FAULT Fault has occurred with electronic differential. System deactivated until fault rectified. Single

OPERATION

Open Differential

Rotational input from the drive shaft is passed via the input flange to the pinion shaft and pinion gear. The angles of the
pinion gear to the crown wheel drive gear moves the rotational direction through 90°.

The transferred rotational motion is now passed to the crown wheel drive gear, which in turn rotates the differential casing.
The cross-shaft, which is secured to the casing, also rotates at the same speed as the casing. The planet gears, which are
mounted on the shaft, also rotate with the casing. In turn, the planet gears transfer their rotational motion to the left and
right hand sun gears, rotating the drive halfshafts.

When the vehicle is moving in a forward direction, the torque applied through the differential to each sun gear is equal. In
this condition both drive halfshafts rotate at the same speed and the planet gears do not rotate.

If the vehicle is turning, the outer wheel will be forced to rotate faster than the inner wheel by having a greater distance to
travel. The differential senses the torque difference between the sun gears. The planet gears rotate on their axes to allow
the outer wheel to rotate faster than the inner one.

Electric Differential

The multi-plate clutch prevents excessive differential slip and therefore maximizes the traction performance of the vehicle.
This is fundamentally different from 'braked' traction control systems, which can only counteract differential slip when it
occurs.

A certain amount of differential slip is required to allow the vehicle to turn corners and to remain stable under control of
the ABS. The system is completely automatic and does not require any special driver input.

The multi-plate clutch actively controls the torque flow through the differential and optimizes the torque distribution in the
driveline. The clutch biases the torque from the differential to the wheel with the higher grip and prevents the wheel with
the lower grip from spinning.

OVERVIEW

The front differential converts the 'angle of drive' through 90 degrees and distributes drive, via the halfshafts, to the front
wheels.

The front differential is mounted upon the front subframe on 3 mounts. The differential has a pinion nose bracket situated
at the rear left, which incorporates a bush with a limiter washer. The differential is bolted through this bush into the
subframe. The front left hand mount has the bush situated in the subframe. The differential has a tube on the right side of
the differential carrier, this tube limits the torque steer.

The casing comprises two halves with machined mating faces. When assembled, the iron casing halves are sealed with a
thin film of Loctite 5999 sealant and secured together with 12 bolts. The left casing is the carrier for all the rotating parts
and the right casing is a cover to close the unit and a support for the right carrier bearing. A breather tube is fitted to the
casings. This allows a plastic tube to be fitted and routed to a high point in the engine compartment, preventing the ingress
of water when the vehicle is wading.

The differential is a conventional design using a hypoid gear layout. This employs a hypoid bevel pinion gear and crown
wheel, with the pinion offset above the center line of the crown wheel. This design allows for a larger pinion gear to be
used, which has the advantages of increased gear strength and reduced operating noise.

The output ratio of the front differential varies depending on the engine variant.
For additional information, refer to: Specifications (205-03 Front Drive Axle/Differential, Specifications).

The ratio is changed by changing the amount of teeth between the crown wheel drive gear and pinion gear. For example,
with a ratio of 3.21:1, the crown wheel drive gear will have 3.21 times more teeth than the pinion gear.

The differential comprises a pinion shaft and hypoid bevel gear, a crown wheel drive gear with an integral cage, which
houses two planet gears. Two sun wheels are also located in the cage and pass the rotational drive to the drive halfshaft
shafts.

The spacer is used to hold the bearings in alignment and collapses at a predetermined rate due the torque applied to the
pinion nut. The remaining load is carried as preload in the bearings and is set with the pinion nut to give the desired
assembly torque-to-turn. This can only be performed during first assembly when new bearings are coated with friction
modifier.

An oil seal is pressed into the left casing and seals the input flange to the differential unit. The pinion shaft has a hypoid
bevel gear at its inner end, which mates with the crown wheel drive gear.

The crown wheel drive gear is located on the carrier and secured with 10 screws. The carrier is mounted on taper roller
bearings located in each casing half. The bearings are press fitted into the casing and a spacer is located on the outside face
to apply preload to the bearing.

The carrier is fitted with a shaft onto which the two planet gears are mounted. The shaft is secured in the carrier with a roll
pin. The sun wheels are located in pockets within the carrier and mesh with the planet gears. Curved plates are located
between the carrier and the sun wheels and hold the sun wheels in mesh with the planet gears. Each sun wheel has a
machined, splined, bore to accept the drive halfshaft. A groove is machined in the bore to locate the circlip fitted to the
drive halfshaft, providing positive drive halfshaft location.

The operating principles of the front and rear differential are the same.

Diagnosis and Testing

Principle of Operation

For a detailed description of the brake system, refer to the relevant description and operation sections in the workshop
manual.

Inspection and Verification

CAUTION: Diagnosis by substitution from a donor vehicle is NOT acceptable. Substitution of control modules does not
guarantee confirmation of a fault, and may also cause additional faults in the vehicle being tested and/or the donor vehicle

Visually examine the front and rear wheel and tire assemblies for damage such as uneven wear patterns, tread worn out or
sidewall damage. Verify the tires are the same size, type and, where possible, same manufacturer. Replace the damaged
wheel or excessively worn tire

Wheels and tires must be cleared of any foreign matter and tire pressures adjusted to the correct specification

If the tires exhibit uneven wear or feathering, the cause must be corrected. Check the steering and suspension components
for damage or wear and, if necessary, check and adjust front wheel alignment

Road Test

Carry out a road test to compare actual vehicle braking performance with the performance standards expected by the
driver. The ability of the test driver to make valid comparisons and detect performance deficiencies will depend on
experience

The driver should have a thorough knowledge of brake system operation and accepted general performance guidelines to
make good comparisons and detect performance concerns

An experienced brake technician will always establish a route that will be used for all brake diagnosis road tests. The roads
selected will be reasonably smooth and level. Gravel or bumpy roads are not suitable because the surface does not allow
the tires to grip the road equally. Crowned roads should be avoided because of the large amount of weight shifted to the
low set of wheels on this type of road. Once the route is established and consistently used, the road surface variable can be
eliminated from the test results

Before a road test, obtain a complete description of the customer concerns or suspected condition. From the description,
the technician's experience will allow the technician to match possible causes with symptoms. Certain components will be
tagged as possible suspects while others will be eliminated by the evidence. More importantly, the customer description can
reveal unsafe conditions which should be checked or corrected before the road test. The description will also help form the
basic approach to the road test by narrowing the concern to specific components, vehicle speed or conditions

Begin the road test with a general brake performance check. Keeping the description of the concern in mind, test the brakes
at different vehicle speeds using both light and heavy pedal pressure. To determine if the concern is in the front or rear
braking system, use the brake pedal and then use the park brake control. If the condition (pull, vibration, pulsation) occurs
only with the park brake, the concern is in the rear brake system

If the concern becomes evident during this check, verify it fits the description given before the road test. If the concern is
not evident, attempt to duplicate the condition using the information from the description

If a concern exists, use the symptom chart in order to isolate it to a specific sub-system and condition description. From
this description, a list of possible sources can be used to further narrow the cause to a specific component or condition

Component Tests

Brake Booster

1. Check all hoses and connections. All unused vacuum connectors should be capped. Hoses and their connections
should be correctly secured and in good condition with no holes and no collapsed areas. Inspect the valve on the
brake booster for damage

2. Check the hydraulic brake system for leaks or low fluid

3. With the automatic transmission in PARK, stop the engine and apply the park brake. Pump the brake pedal several
times to exhaust all vacuum in the system. With the engine switched off and all vacuum in the system exhausted,
apply the brake pedal and hold it down. Start the engine. If the vacuum system is operating, the brake pedal will
tend to move downward under constant foot pressure. If no motion is felt, the vacuum booster system is not
functioning

4. Remove the vacuum hose from the brake booster. Manifold vacuum should be available at the brake booster end of
the hose with the engine at idle speed and the automatic transmission in PARK. Make sure that all unused vacuum
outlets are correctly capped, hose connectors are correctly secured and vacuum hoses are in good condition. When it
is established that manifold vacuum is available to the brake booster, connect the vacuum hose to the brake booster
and repeat Step 3. If no downward movement of the brake pedal is felt, install a new brake booster

5. Operate the engine for a minimum of 10 seconds at a fast idle. Stop the engine and allow the vehicle to stand for 10
minutes. Then, apply the brake pedal with approximately 89 N (20lb) of force. The pedal feel (brake application)
should be the same as that noted with the engine running. If the brake pedal feels hard (no power assist), install a
new valve and then repeat the test. If the brake pedal still feels hard, install a new brake booster. If the brake pedal
movement feels spongy, bleed the brake system.
Brake Master Cylinder

Usually, the first and strongest indicator of anything wrong in the brake system is a feeling through the brake pedal. In
diagnosing the condition of the brake master cylinder, check pedal feel as evidence of a brake concern. Check for brake
warning lamp illumination and the brake fluid level in the brake master cylinder reservoir

Normal Conditions

The following conditions are considered normal and are not indications that the brake master cylinder is in need of repair

Modern brake systems are designed to produce a pedal effort that is not as hard as in the past. Complaints of light
pedal efforts should be compared to the pedal efforts of another vehicle of the same model and year
The fluid level will fall with brake pad wear

Abnormal Conditions

Changes in the brake pedal feel or brake pedal travel are indicators that something could be wrong in the brake system.
The diagnostic procedure and techniques use brake pedal feel, warning indicator illumination and low brake fluid level as
indicators to diagnosing brake system concerns. The following conditions are considered abnormal and indicate that the
brake master cylinder is in need of repair:

NOTE: Prior to carrying out any diagnosis, make sure the brake system warning indicator is functional

Brake pedal goes down fast. This could be caused by an external or internal leak
Brake pedal goes down slowly. This could be caused by an internal or external leak
Brake pedal is low or feels spongy. This condition may be caused by no fluid in the brake master cylinder, reservoir
cap vent holes clogged or air in the hydraulic system
Brake pedal effort is excessive. This may be caused by a bind or obstruction in the pedal/linkage, a faulty non-return
valve, booster or insufficient booster vacuum
Rear brakes lock up during light pedal force. This may be caused by damaged brake pads, a partially applied park
brake, a damaged ABS sensor or bearing failure
Brake pedal effort erratic. This condition could be caused by the brake booster or incorrectly installed brake pads
Brake warning indicator is on. This may be caused by low fluid level or float assembly damaged

Non Pressure Leaks

Any reduced fluid volume in the brake master cylinder reservoir may be caused by two types of none pressure external
leaks

Type 1: An external leak may occur at the brake master cylinder reservoir cap because of incorrect positioning of the
gasket and cap. Reposition cap and gasket

Type 2: An external leak may occur at the brake master cylinder reservoir mounting seals. Repair such a leak by installing
new seals and make sure that the brake master cylinder reservoir retaining bolt is correctly installed

Description and Operation

COMPONENT LOCATION

NOTE: RHD (right-hand drive) installation shown, LHD (left-hand drive) installation similar.

Item Part Number Description


1 - Brake fluid reservoir
2 - Brake master cylinder
3 - Brake pedal
4 - Brake pipes and hoses
5 - Bleed block
6 - Anti-lock brake system control module (ABS)

OVERVIEW

The hydraulic brake actuation system consists of the brake pedal, the brake master cylinder and fluid reservoir, the HCU
(Hydraulic Control Unit) and the brake pipes and hoses. The brake pipes and hoses are arranged to provide a front/rear
split hydraulic system.

DESCRIPTION
Brake Pedal

The brake pedal is installed in a bracket attached to the rear side of the engine bulkhead. A clevis pin and clip connect the
brake pedal to the push rod of the brake booster.

The brake pedal switch is installed in the bracket and operated by movement of the brake pedal.
For additional information, refer to: Braking Control System (206-11 Brake Controls, Description and Operation).

Brake Master Cylinder and Fluid Reservoir

Item Part Number Description


1 - Filler cap and level sensor
2 - Brake fluid reservoir
3 - Brake master cylinder
4 - Secondary circuit connection
5 - Primary circuit connection
The brake master cylinder and fluid reservoir are attached to the front of the brake booster, on the driver's side of the
engine compartment. The brake master cylinder is a tandem design that supplies pressure to two independent (primary
and secondary) hydraulic circuits for the front and rear brakes respectively. If a failure occurs in one hydraulic circuit, the
remaining circuit will still operate effectively, although brake pedal travel and vehicle braking distances will increase.

The fluid reservoir is installed on top of the master cylinder and retains sufficient volume of hydraulic fluid to allow for
normal system use and to compensate for the replenishment of the system as the brake pads wear.

A brake fluid level sensor is incorporated into the cap of the fluid reservoir.

Brake Pipes and Hoses

Preformed rigid brake pipes distribute pressure from the master cylinder to the four corners of the vehicle via the HCU.
Braided steel hoses connect the brake pipes to the front and rear calipers. For service use, a bleed block is incorporated
into the two brake pipes between the master cylinder and the HCU.

Hydraulic Control Unit


 

Item Part Number Description


1 - Rear right brake connection
2 - Rear left brake connection
3 - Front right brake connection
4 - Front left brake connection
5 - Primary circuit connection
6 - Secondary circuit connection
The HCU is an integral part of the ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) control module, which is installed in the front corner of the
engine compartment, on the driver side. The ABS is attached to a bracket installed between the front bumper mounting
bracket and the suspension housing.

The HCU is a four channel unit that modulates the supply of hydraulic pressure to the brakes under the control of the ABS.
The primary and secondary outlet ports of the master cylinder are connected to primary and secondary inlet ports of the
HCU. The primary circuit in the HCU supplies hydraulic pressure to two separate outlet ports for the front brakes. The
secondary circuit provides hydraulic pressure to two separate outlet ports for the rear brakes.

The HCU has three brake operating modes: Normal braking / EBD (Electronic Brake Force Distribution); ABS braking; Active
braking. Details of these operating modes are given in the Brakes Control section of this Manual.
For additional information, refer to: Braking Control System (206-11 Brake Controls, Description and Operation).

OPERATION

Brake Fluid Level Sensor

If the hydraulic fluid in the reservoir falls to a predetermined low level, the switch contacts close and provide a ground
signal to the CJB (Central Junction Box). The CJB then sends a high speed CAN Powertrain signal to the IC (Instrument
Cluster) and the ABS. On receipt of the signal:

The IC illuminates the red brake warning indicator, and the message center displays the critical warning indicator
(red warning triangle) and the message Brake Fluid Low.
The ABS disables DSC (Dynamic Stability Control) functions and sends a high speed CAN Powertrain bus signal to
the IC to continuously illuminate the DSC warning indicator.

OVERVIEW

Power assistance for the braking system is provided by a vacuum operated, non-active brake booster. The vacuum required
for brake booster operation is provided either by an engine driven vacuum pump (TDV6 3.0L diesel and TDV8 4.4L diesel
engines), or a combination of an engine driven vacuum pump and the intake manifold (V8 5.0L and V6 3.0L Supercharged
petrol engines).

DESCRIPTION
Brake Booster

The brake booster is installed on the driver side of the engine compartment and is sealed to the bulkhead with a gasket.
The brake booster actuating push rod is attached to the brake pedal with a clevis pin. The brake booster output rod locates
in the primary piston of the brake master cylinder.

The brake booster is a compact unit with tandem diaphragms that operate as a single unit.

Vacuum Pipes

The vacuum pipes consist of rigid plastic piping that connect the vacuum pump and, on V8 5.0L S/C and V6 3.0L S/C
engines, the intake manifold, to the brake booster.

Depending on engine type, one or more check valves are installed in the vacuum pipes to maintain the vacuum in the
brake booster. On V8 5.0L S/C and V6 3.0 L S/C engines, a check valve close to the intake manifold prevents air and fuel
vapor being drawn into the vacuum pipes when there is minimal depression in the intake manifold.

On V8 5.0L S/C and V6 3.0L S/C engines, the vacuum pipes incorporate a connection for the noise feedback system.
For additional information, refer to: Intake Air Distribution and Filtering (303-12B Intake Air Distribution and Filtering - V6
S/C 3.0L Petrol, Description and Operation) /
Intake Air Distribution and Filtering (303-12C Intake Air Distribution and Filtering - V8 S/C 5.0L Petrol, Description and
Operation).

BRAKE VACUUM SENSOR - VEHICLES WITH STOP/START ONLY

On vehicles with the stop/start system, the vacuum pipes incorporate a brake vacuum sensor with an integral check valve.
The brake vacuum sensor monitors vacuum reserves in the brake booster and is hardwired to the ECM (engine control
module).
For additional information, refer to: Starting System (303-06A Starting System - TDV6 3.0L Diesel, Description and
Operation) /

On V8 5.0L S/C and V6 3.0 L S/C engines, the vacuum pump is installed on the front of the engine sump body and driven
by the auxiliary camshaft. A drive coupling on the pump rotor engages with slots in the front of the auxiliary camshaft. An
oil tube in the center of the rotor supplies engine oil from the auxiliary camshaft to lubricate and cool the vacuum pump.
Drain oil and air from the brake booster and vacuum pipes is expelled into the engine sump through the sump body.

On diesel engines, the vacuum pump is installed on the front (TDV8 4.4L engines) or rear (TDV6 3.0L engines) of the right
cylinder head and driven by the inlet camshaft. A drive coupling on the pump rotor engages with slots in the end of the
inlet camshaft. The vacuum pump is lubricated and cooled by engine oil supplied from a gallery in the cylinder head to an
inlet on the mating face of the vacuum pump. Drain oil and air from the brake booster and vacuum pipes is expelled into
the camshaft cover, together with oil from the scavenge tube connected to the oil pan.

On diesel engines, the vacuum pump has an additional vacuum connection, which is connected to the EGR (exhaust gas
recirculation) system and the turbocharger control system.

Item Part Number Description


1 - Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) switch
2 - Hill descent control switch
3 - Steering Angle Sensor Module (SASM)
4 - Brake pedal switch

OVERVIEW

The braking control system features an integrated four-channel HCU (Hydraulic Control Unit) and ABS (Anti-lock Brake
System) control module.

The ABS control module is connected to the high speed CAN (Controller Area Network) Powertrain and Chassis bus, and
actively interacts with other vehicle system control modules and associated sensors to receive and transmit current vehicle
operating information.

When required, the ABS will actively intervene and operate the HCU during braking or vehicle maneuvers to correct the
vehicle attitude, stability, traction or speed. During incidents of vehicle correction, the ABS control module may also request
the ECM (Engine Control Module) to control engine power in order to further stabilize and correct the vehicle.

To provide full system functionality, the braking control system comprises the following components:

DSC (Dynamic Stability Control) switch.


HDC (Hill Descent Control) switch.
Four wheel speed sensors.
SASM (Steering Angle Sensor Module).
Brake pedal switch.
IC (Instrument Cluster) warning indicators.
ABS control module with integrated HCU.

NOTE: Unlike some previous brake control systems, this system does not have a separate lateral acceleration and yaw rate
sensor component to provide vehicle acceleration data. Instead, the ABS control module receives vehicle acceleration data
over a high speed CAN Powertrain bus from the RCM (Restrainst Control Module).
For additional information, refer to: Air Bag and Safety Belt Pretensioner Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) (501-20B
Supplemental Restraint System, Description and Operation).

The braking control system provides the following brake functions that are designed to assist the vehicle or aid the driver:

ABS.
RSC (Roll Stability Control).
CBC (Corner Brake Control).
DSC.
TVB (Torque Vectoring by Braking)
EBD (Electronic Brake Force Distribution).
Electronic brake prefill.
ETC (Electronic Traction Control).
EBA (Emergency Brake Assist).
EDC (Engine Drag-torque Control).
EUC (Enhanced Understeer Control).
Gradient acceleration control.
Gradient release control.
HDC.
Hill start assist.
Terrain Response® system integration.
Trailer stability assist.

The HDC function is enabled either manually using the HDC switch, or automatically by the Terrain Response® system, in
the ignition on and engine running power modes. All of the other brake functions are automatically enabled in the ignition
on and engine running power modes. The DSC function can be selected off using the DSC switch.

DESCRIPTION

Dynamic Stability Control Switch

The DSC switch allows the DSC function to be selected off. Although Land Rover recommend that DSC is selected on for all
normal driving conditions, it may be beneficial to de-select DSC to maximize traction under the following conditions:

If the vehicle needs to be rocked out of a hollow or a soft surface.


Driving on loose surfaces or with snow chains.
Driving in deep sand, snow or mud.
On tracks with deep longitudinal ruts.

The DSC switch is a non-latching switch installed in the Terrain Response® switchpack, in the floor console. Pressing the
DSC switch produces a high speed CAN message from the Terrain Response® switchpack to the ABS control module. With
the first press of the DSC switch, the ABS control module disables the DSC functions. When the DSC switch is pressed
again, the ABS control module re-enables the DSC functions. The DSC switch must be pressed for a minimum of 0.3 s for
the ABS control module to react. The DSC function is re-enabled at the beginning of each ignition cycle.

The status of the DSC switch selection is shown by the DSC OFF warning indicator. The DSC OFF warning indicator is
extinguished while DSC is selected on, and continuously illuminated while DSC is selected off.

A DSC switch request to disable DSC is ignored by the ABS control module if the air suspension system has failed, or is in
off-road height at speeds above 55 km/h (34 mph).

To guard against incorrect operation or a broken switch, if the input from the DSC switch is held high for more than one
minute, a DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) is stored in the ABS control module.
Even if DSC is deselected, driving maneuvers with extreme yaw or lateral acceleration may trigger DSC activity to assist
vehicle stability.

Hill Descent Control Switch

The HDC switch controls the selection of the HDC function.

The HDC switch is a non-latching switch installed in the Terrain Response® switchpack, in the floor console. Pressing and
releasing the HDC switch produces a high speed CAN Chassis bus message from the Terrain Response® switchpack to the
ABS control module. With the first press and release of the HDC switch, the ABS control module enables operation of the
HDC function. When the HDC switch is pressed and released again, the ABS control module disables operation of the HDC
function.

To guard against incorrect operation or a broken switch, if the switch is pressed for more than 10 seconds no change of
state occurs. If the input from the HDC switch is held high for more than one minute, a DTC is stored in the ABS control
module.

Wheel Speed Sensors

An active wheel speed sensor is installed in each wheel hub to provide the ABS control module with a rotational speed
signal from each road wheel. The head of each wheel speed sensor is positioned close to a magnetic encoder incorporated
into the seal of the wheel bearing. A flying lead connects each sensor to the vehicle wiring.

The wheel speed sensors each have a power supply connection and a signal connection with the ABS control module. When
the ignition is on, the ABS control module supplies power to the wheel speed sensors and monitors the return signals. The
return signals are converted into individual wheel speeds and the overall vehicle speed by the ABS control module.

The ABS control module outputs the individual wheel speeds, the vehicle speed and the direction of travel on the high speed
CAN Powertrain and Chassis bus for use by other systems. The quality of the vehicle speed signal is also broadcast on the
high speed CAN Powertrain and Chassis bus. If all wheel speed signals are available to calculate vehicle speed from, the
quality of the vehicle speed signal is set to 'data calculated within specified accuracy'. If one or more wheel speed sensors
is faulty, the quality of the vehicle speed signal is set to 'accuracy outside specification'.
The ABS control module monitors the wheel speed sensor circuits for faults. If a fault is detected the ABS control module
stores a DTC and illuminates the appropriate warning indicators, depending on the system functions affected (DSC/ETC,
ABS, EBA/EBD, HDC). A warning chime is also sounded to alert the driver to the fault condition, and a related message is
shown in the message center.
For additional information, refer to: Instrument Cluster (413-01 Instrument Cluster, Description and Operation).

Since the wheel speed sensors are active devices, a return signal is available when the road wheels are not turning, which
enables the ABS control module to check the sensors while the vehicle is stationary. In addition, the direction of travel of
each wheel can be sensed. This information is broadcast on the high speed CAN Powertrain and Chassis bus for use by
other systems.

Steering Angle Sensor Module

The steering angle sensor is integrated into the clockspring on the steering column and is able to measure steering wheel
rotation from lock to lock.

Steering angle sensor signals are processed in the clockspring to calculate the steering wheel angle and the steering wheel
angle speed. These values, together with signal integrity information, is transmitted on the high speed CAN bus for use by
the ABS control module and functions such as DSC.

If a fault occurs within the steering angle sensor module, a DTC is stored in the steering angle sensor module and the ABS
control module. The ABS control module signals the IC (Instrument Cluster) on the high speed CAN Powertrain bus to
illuminate the appropriate warning indicators, depending on the brake functions affected. A warning chime sounds to alert
the driver to the fault condition and, if the fault affects the HDC function, a message is displayed in the message center.

Brake Pedal Switch

The brake pedal switch is a two pole switch mounted in the brake pedal bracket and operated by the brake pedal. The ECM
compares the signals from the two poles to confirm the status of the brake pedal switch, which it broadcasts on the high
speed CAN Powertrain bus for the ABS control module.

The brake pedal switch output from both poles is also connected to the CJB (Central Junction Box).

Anti-lock Brake System Control Module


 

Item Part Number Description


1 - Rear right brake connection
2 - Rear left brake connection
3 - Front right brake connection
4 - Front left brake connection
5 - Primary circuit connection
6 - Secondary circuit connection
7 - Hydraulic control unit
8 - Electrical connector
9 - Control module
The ABS control module consists of an integrated control module and four-channel HCU. The control module uses the HCU
to modulate hydraulic pressure to the individual wheel brakes to control the brake functions.

The ABS control module is installed in the front corner of the engine compartment, on the driver side. A multi-pin electrical
connector provides the electrical interface between the control module and the vehicle wiring. Hydraulic pipes and hoses
connect the HCU to the master cylinder and the brake calipers. The primary and secondary outlets of the master cylinder
are connected to the primary and secondary circuits within the HCU. The primary circuit in the HCU has separate outlet
ports to the front brakes. The secondary circuit in the HCU has separate outlet ports to the rear brakes.

The ABS control module operates in three modes: Normal braking/EBD, ABS braking and active braking.

NORMAL BRAKING/ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE DISTRIBUTION MODE

Operating the brake pedal produces a corresponding increase or decrease of pressure in the brakes, unaffected by the ABS
control module. If the ABS control module determines that EBD is necessary, it isolates the brakes of the trailing axle from
any further increase in hydraulic pressure.

ABS BRAKING MODE

If the ABS control module determines that ABS braking is necessary, it releases pressure from the affected brake. The
reduced pressure allows the wheel to accelerate. The ABS control module then regulates the pressure in the brake to apply
the maximum braking effort without locking the wheel. Individual ABS braking is provided for each wheel.

ACTIVE BRAKING MODE

In the active braking mode, the ABS control module generates and controls hydraulic pressure to the brakes for functions
other than ABS braking, for example DSC, EBA, ETC, HDC, and in support of adaptive speed control and the dynamic
application of the EPB (Electronic Parking Brake).

The ABS control module regulates the pressure in the individual brakes as necessary. Some noise may be generated during
active braking.

OPERATION

Anti-lock Brake System

ABS controls the speed of all road wheels to ensure optimum wheel slip when braking at the adhesion limit. This prevents
the wheels from locking in order to retain effective steering control of the vehicle.

On each axle, the brake pressure is modulated separately for each wheel in order to maintain vehicle stability.

Roll Stability Control

The RSC function uses the brake system and engine torque control to attempt to restore vehicle stability if the vehicle is
forced into such a harsh manoeuver that it risks tipping over.
The ABS control module monitors driver inputs and vehicle behavior using various powertrain signals and inputs from the
wheel speed sensors, steering angle sensor and the RCM (yaw rate and lateral acceleration data). These are compared with
modeled behavior and, if vehicle behavior reaches a given risk level, the ABS control module initiates a reduction in engine
power, or brakes one or more wheels sufficiently to correct the vehicle stability and assist the driver to remain in control.

While the ignition is on, RSC is permanently enabled, even when DSC is selected off.

Corner Brake Control

CBC (Corner Brake Control) influences the brake pressures, below the DSC and ABS thresholds, to counteract the yawing
moment produced when braking in a corner. CBC produces a correction torque by limiting the brake pressure on one side
of the vehicle, to assist the vehicle in achieving the turn radius the driver is requesting.

Dynamic Stability Control

DSC uses the brakes and engine torque control to help maintain the lateral stability of the vehicle. While the ignition is on
the DSC function is permanently enabled unless selected off by the DSC switch. Even if DSC is deselected, driving
maneuvers with extreme yaw or lateral acceleration may trigger DSC activity to assist vehicle stability.

DSC enhances driving safety in abrupt maneuvers and in understeer or oversteer situations that may occur in a bend. The
ABS control module monitors the yaw rate and lateral acceleration of the vehicle, and the steering input, then selectively
applies individual brakes and signals for engine torque adjustments to reduce understeer or oversteer.

In general:

In an understeering situation, the inner wheels are braked to counteract the yaw movement towards the outer edge
of the bend.
In an oversteering situation, the outer wheels are braked to prevent the rear end of the vehicle from pushing
towards the outer edge of the bend.

The ABS control module monitors the tracking stability of the vehicle using inputs from the wheel speed sensors, the
steering angle sensor and the RCM (yaw rate and lateral acceleration data). The tracking stability is compared with stored
target data and, whenever the tracking stability deviates from the target data, the ABS control module intervenes by
applying the appropriate brakes. When the DSC function is active, the ABS control module also signals the TCM
(Transmission Control Module) to prevent gear shifts, and the instrument cluster to flash the DSC warning indicator.

If necessary, the ABS control module also signals:

The ECM, to reduce engine torque.


The TCCM (transfer case control module), to adjust the locking torque of the center differential.
The RDCM (rear differential control module), to adjust the locking torque of the rear differential.

The DSC function overrides the differential locking torque requests from the Terrain Response® system.

If DSC is selected off, a DSC system off message is displayed in the message center.
For additional information, refer to: Instrument Cluster (413-01 Instrument Cluster, Description and Operation).

Torque Vectoring by Braking

TVB reduces near-limit understeer of the vehicle, during cornering by braking the inside wheels, increasing the yaw
moment acting on the vehicle.The engine output torque is increased by the ECM, to compensate for the braking effect,
maintaining vehicle progress. This extends the linear range of the vehicle and increases the maximum cornering capacity.
The system monitors the level of understeer by comparing the measured vehicle yaw rate, to a calculated yaw rate target
determined from driver steering input and vehicle speed. TVB is fitted to the vehicle where the electric rear differential is
fitted, to improve the transient vehicle stability and damping the yaw rate, whilst enhancing current electric differential
traction performance.

Electronic Brake Force Distribution

EBD limits the brake pressure applied to the brakes of the trailing axle. When the brakes are applied, the weight transfer of
the vehicle reduces the adhesion of the trailing axle wheels on the road surface. This may cause the wheels to slip and
make the vehicle unstable.

EBD uses the ABS hardware to automatically optimize the pressure of the trailing axle brakes, below the point where ABS
intervention is normally invoked. Only the trailing axle wheels are under EBD control.

Electronic Brake Prefill

Electronic brake prefill senses any rapid throttle lift off, activating a small brake hydraulic pressure build-up of
approximately 3 to 5 bar (43.5 to 72.5 lbf/in2) in anticipation of the brakes being applied. This gives a quicker brake pedal
response and consequently slightly shorter stopping distances.

When the ABS control module detects rapid throttle lift off (from the signals received from the ECM over the high speed
CAN Powertrain bus), it applies a low brake pressure to all of the brakes to assist in a quicker brake application.

Electronic Traction Control

ETC attempts to optimize forward traction by reducing engine torque or braking a spinning wheel until traction is restored.

ETC is activated if an individual wheel speed is above that of the vehicle reference speed (positive slip) and the brake pedal
is not pressed. The spinning wheel is braked, allowing the excess torque to be transmitted to the non spinning wheels
through the drive line. If necessary, the ABS control module also transmits a high speed CAN bus message to the ECM
requesting a reduction in engine torque.
Torque reduction requests are for either a slow or fast response. A slow response requests a reduction of throttle angle; a
fast response requests an ignition cut-off.

When the DSC function is selected off with the DSC switch, the engine torque reduction feature is disabled.

When the ETC function is active the ABS control module also signals the TCM to prevent gear shifts.

Emergency Brake Assist

EBA assists the driver during emergency braking situations by automatically maximizing the braking effort. There are two
situations when the ABS control module will invoke EBA:

When the brake pedal is pressed rapidly.


When the brake pedal is pressed hard enough to bring the front brakes into ABS operation.

When the brake pedal is pressed rapidly, the ABS control module increases the hydraulic pressure to all of the brakes until
the threshold for ABS operation is reached. This applies the maximum braking effort for the available traction. The ABS
control module monitors for the rapid application of the brakes using the brake pedal switch status broadcast on the high
speed CAN Powertrain by the ECM, and from a pressure sensor within the HCU. With the brake pedal pressed, if the rate of
increase of hydraulic pressure exceeds the predetermined limit, the ABS control module invokes emergency braking.

When the brake pedal is pressed hard enough to bring the front brakes into ABS operation, the ABS control module
increases the hydraulic pressure to the rear brakes up to the ABS threshold.

EBA operation continues until the driver releases the brake pedal enough for the hydraulic pressure in the HCU to fall below
a pre-determined threshold value stored in the ABS control module.

During emergency braking, if vehicle deceleration exceeds a stored value the ABS control module sends a high speed CAN
Powertrain message to the CJB, which then automatically activates the hazard warning lamps at a faster rate than normal
(approximately 4Hz). If the vehicle speed reduces below 5 km/h (3mph), the hazard warning lamps remain active, but
switch to the normal rate of the operation. Emergency braking activation of the hazard warning lamps is cancelled when
one of the following occurs:

Vehicle deceleration falls below a second (lower) stored value.


DSC OFF mode is selected.
The left or right turn signal indicators are selected.

For additional information, refer to: Exterior Lighting (417-01 Exterior Lighting, Description and Operation).

Engine Drag-torque Control

EDC prevents wheel slip caused by any of the following:

A sudden decrease in engine torque when the accelerator is suddenly released.


A downshift using CommandShift™.

When the ABS control module detects the onset of wheel slip without the brakes being applied, it signals the ECM on the
high speed CAN Powertrain bus to request a momentary increase in engine torque. Also, when the driver is braking and the
ABS module has reduced brake pressure, but the wheels have not accelerated to the vehicle reference speed quickly
enough, EDC will increase engine torque to accelerate the wheels up to reference speed and regain stability.

Enhanced Understeer Control

EUC monitors the vehicle for understeer by comparing signals of yaw rate and lateral acceleration, from the RCM, with
signals from the steering angle sensor and wheel speed sensors.

When the ABS control module detects the onset of understeer, it signals the ECM via the high speed CAN Powertrain bus to
request a decrease in engine torque. If required, the ABS control module applies brake pressure to the inside rear wheel to
correct the understeer. If the vehicle continues to understeer, EUC is activated and uses multiple brakes (maximum of three
brakes) to rapidly reduce the vehicle speed.

Gradient Acceleration Control

Gradient acceleration control is an automatic feature and is always available when HDC is not selected.

When HDC is not selected, gradient acceleration control will intervene to limit downhill acceleration on a steep descent.

The feature uses generated brake pressure to control acceleration in situations where the driver could lose control of the
vehicle on a steep incline.

Gradient acceleration control keeps the vehicle to a speed and throttle pedal dependant acceleration limit when the vehicle
is moving in the intended direction of travel, for example:

Descending an incline forwards, with D (drive) selected.


Descending an incline backwards, with R (reverse) selected.

When the vehicle is moving against the intended direction of travel, for example: descending a slope, but facing uphill with
D selected, gradient acceleration control will prevent the vehicle accelerating above 5 km/h (3 mph) for up to 20-30
seconds to help the driver re-establish control of the vehicle.

Gradient Release Control

Gradient release control is an automatic feature which is always available when HDC is selected.

If the vehicle is brought to a standstill on a slope using the foot brake, gradient release control will become active (except
in the Terrain Response®, sand program).

When descending a hill, a brake hold and gradual release is employed to provide a smooth transition into HDC. Gradient
release control operates in forward and reverse gears and requires no driver intervention.

Hill Descent Control

HDC uses brake intervention to control vehicle speed and acceleration during low speed descents in off-road and low grip
on-road conditions. Generally, equal pressure is applied to all four brakes, but pressure to individual brakes can be modified
by the ABS and DSC functions to retain stability. Selection of the HDC function is controlled by the HDC switch and the
Terrain Response® switchpack in the floor console. HDC operates in both high and low ranges, at vehicle speeds up to 50
km/h (31.3 mph).

WARNING: Incorrect use of the HDC function may compromise the stability of the vehicle, resulting in a dangerous
and uncontrolled hill descent. Driving with the transmission in neutral while HDC is active will prevent engine braking from
assisting the vehicle. The brakes will overheat and induce the HDC fade out strategy. In this condition there will be no
control over the vehicle during a descent.

NOTE: With the HDC function selected, HDC is operative even when the transmission is in neutral. It is not
recommended to drive the vehicle further than is absolutely necessary with HDC selected and the transmission in neutral.

HDC may be used in D, R and all CommandShift™ gears. When in D, the TCM will automatically select the most appropriate
gear.

HDC can be selected at speeds up to 80 km/h (50 mph), but will only be enabled at speeds below 50 km/h (31.3 mph).
When HDC is selected:

At speeds up to 50 km/h (31.3 mph), the HDC warning indicator is permanently illuminated if a valid gear is
selected.
At speeds from between 50 to 80 km/h (31 to 50 mph) the HDC warning indicator flashes and a message advising
that the speed is too high is displayed in the message center. If the HDC switch is pressed while vehicle speed is
more than 80 km/h (50 mph), the HDC warning indicator will not illuminate and HDC will not be selected.
If the speed increases to 80 km/h (50 mph), the HDC function is switched off, the warning indicator is extinguished,
a warning chime sounds and a message advising that HDC has been switched off is displayed in the message center.

When HDC is enabled, the ABS control module calculates a target deceleration value by comparing the set speed to the
actual vehicle speed. The ABS control module then operates the HCU in the active braking mode as required to achieve and
maintain the target speed.

During active braking for HDC, the ABS control module sends a high speed CAN Powertrain message to the CJB (Central
Junction Box) to operate the stop lamps.
For additional information, refer to: Exterior Lighting (417-01 Exterior Lighting, Description and Operation).

Applying the foot brake during active braking may result in a pulse through the brake pedal.

The target speed varies between the minimum and maximum values for each gear and transmission range, depending on
driver input with the speed control + and - switches.
For additional information, refer to: Speed Control (310-03A Speed Control - TDV6 3.0L Diesel, Description and Operation).

NOTE: * Default speed may be modified depending on Terrain Response® program and gear selection.

During changes of target speed, the ABS control module limits deceleration and acceleration to -0.5 m/s² (-1.65 ft/s²) and
+0.5 m/s² (+1.65 ft/s²) respectively.

To provide a safe transition from active braking to brakes off, the ABS control module invokes a fade out strategy that
gradually releases the braking effort during active braking. The fade out strategy occurs if any of the following conditions
are detected during active braking:

HDC selected off with the HDC switch.


Failure of a component used by HDC, but not critical to the fade out function.
Accelerator pedal pressed when the transmission is in neutral.
Brake overheat.
If fade out is invoked because of deselection or component failure, the HDC function is cancelled by the ABS control
module. If fade out is invoked because the accelerator pedal is pressed with the transmission in neutral, or because of
brake overheat, the HDC function remains in standby and resumes operation when the accelerator pedal is released or the
brakes have cooled.

The fade out strategy increases the target speed, at a constant acceleration rate of 0.5 m/s² (1.65 ft/s²), until the
maximum target speed is reached or until no active braking is required for 0.5 s. If the accelerator pedal is positioned
within the range that influences target speed, the acceleration rate is increased to 1.0 m/s² (3.3 ft/s²).

When fade out is invoked because of component failure, a warning chime sounds, the HDC warning indicator is extinguished
and a message advising there is a fault is displayed in the message center.

When fade out is invoked because of brake overheat, a message advising that HDC is temporarily unavailable is displayed.
At the end of fade out, the HDC warning indicator flashes. The message and flashing warning indicator remain on, while
HDC remains selected, until the brakes have cooled.

To monitor for brake overheat, the ABS control module monitors the amount of braking activity and, from this, estimates
the temperature of each brake. If the estimated temperature of any brake exceeds a preset limit, the ABS control module
invokes the fade out strategy. After the fade out cycle, the HDC function is re-enabled when the ABS control module
estimates that all of the brake temperatures are at less than 64% of the temperature limit.

When HDC is selected off, the instrument cluster message center temporarily displays a system off message.

ACTIVATION OF STOP LAMPS

Operation of the vehicle stop lamps is controlled by the CJB. The ABS control module monitors the brake system hydraulic
pressure and requests the CJB, via the high speed CAN Powertrain bus, to energize the stop lamps during active braking for
HDC. A pressure threshold and time filter prevents the stop lamps from flickering.

STOP/START VEHICLES

Activation of HDC will deactivate the stop/start system. If HDC is activated while the engine is shutdown in a stop/start
cycle, the engine will automatically restart.
For additional information, refer to: Starting System (303-06A Starting System - TDV6 3.0L Diesel, Description and
Operation) /
Starting System (303-06B Starting System - V6 S/C 3.0L Petrol, Description and Operation) /
Starting System (303-06C Starting System - V8 S/C 5.0L Petrol, Description and Operation) /
Starting System (303-06D Starting System - TDV8 4.4L Diesel, Description and Operation).

Hill Start Assist

Hill start assist is an automatic feature that aids smooth transition from foot brake to moving away on hill ascents,
regardless of HDC selection.

On steep slopes, hill start assist will hold a portion of the driver generated brake pressure for a short time (2 to 3 seconds)
to allow the driver to move their foot from the brake pedal to the throttle pedal without the vehicle rolling back.

The system will release the brake pressure in a controlled manner, either after the timer has expired or if the driver has
generated sufficient drive-torque to move the vehicle forward up the hill.

The feature is not driver selectable and there is no indication to the driver when in operation.

Terrain Response® System Integration

The Terrain Response® system integrates the ABS and other vehicle system control modules to assist the vehicle when
driving off-road or during difficult surface conditions. Terrain Response® system integration is activated when a Terrain
Response® special program is selected.

When a Terrain Response® special program is selected, the ABS control module, along with other vehicle system control
modules, will operate in accordance with programmed software maps. The software maps allow the ABS system to function
with a threshold that will assist the selected Terrain Response® special program.
For additional information, refer to: Ride and Handling Optimization (204-06 Ride and Handling Optimization, Description
and Operation).

TRACTION LAUNCH CONTROL

Traction launch control is automatically enabled when either the sand or grass/gravel/snow special program is selected on
the Terrain Response® system.

When pulling away from stationary on sand or other dry, yielding ground, excessive wheel spin can cause the wheels to dig
downwards preventing forward movement. On surfaces with low grip, excessive wheel spin can lead to vehicle instability
and reduced vehicle acceleration.

Traction launch control uses the ETC function to limit the amount of wheel spin, allowing a gradual controlled pull away
even if full throttle is applied until the vehicle has gained speed.

ROCK CRAWL PRECHARGE

Rock crawl precharge is automatically enabled when the rock crawl special program is selected on the Terrain Response®
system.

Rock crawl precharge applies a small amount of brake pressure to each brake calliper during low speed driving. This
improves brake and traction control response times helping to reduce forward/backward vehicle roll when cresting an
obstacle or releasing the accelerator pedal.
Trailer Stability Assist

When the trailer electrical socket is connected, trailer stability assist operates automatically to enhance the existing DSC
and Terrain Response® functions of the vehicle when towing. The system detects sway movements caused by trailer
oscillations at speeds in excess of 60 km/h (37 mph) and acts to eliminate them. It does this through braking and engine
management. Braking management counterbalances the sway movement through symmetric and asymmetric braking,
thereby slowing the vehicle and eliminating the oscillations. Engine management adapts engine torque output to support
the braking management in stabilizing the vehicle and trailer.

Typical conditions when sway can occur include:

Changing highway lanes.


Traversing a lengthy bend.
Acceleration.
Braking.
Incorrectly laden trailers.

The capability of trailer stability assist to respond early to the beginning of trailer-sway makes the system almost
unnoticeable under normal driving conditions and keeps the vehicle and trailer under safe control. Trailer stability assist
requires no input from the driver and operates up to the maximum vehicle speed.

Trailer stability assist will not operate while DSC is switched off.

OVERVIEW

The braking control system features an integrated four-channel HCU (hydraulic control unit) and ABS (anti-lock brake
system) control module.

The ABS control module is connected to the high speed CAN (controller area network) powertrain systems and the high
speed CAN chassis systems, and actively interacts with other vehicle system control modules and associated sensors to
receive and transmit current vehicle operating information.

When required, the ABS control module will actively intervene and operate the HCU during braking or vehicle maneuvers to
correct the vehicle attitude, stability, traction or speed. During incidents of vehicle correction, the ABS control module may
also request the ECM (engine control module) to control engine power in order to further stabilize and correct the vehicle.

When the vehicle is moving and the brake pedal is pressed, the ABS control module uses a combination of hydraulic
operation of the brake calipers and motor generator braking torque (regenerative braking) to slow the vehicle.

To provide full system functionality, the braking control system comprises the following components:

DSC (dynamic stability control) switch.


HDC (hill descent control) switch.
Four wheel speed sensors.
Steering angle sensor.
Brake pedal switch.
Brake pedal position sensor.
Instrument cluster warning indicators.
ABS control module with integrated HCU.

NOTE: Unlike some previous brake control systems, this system does not have a separate lateral acceleration and yaw rate
sensor component to provide vehicle acceleration data. Instead, the ABS control module receives vehicle acceleration data
on the high speed CAN powertrain systems from the RCM (restraints control module).
For additional information, refer to: Air Bag and Safety Belt Pretensioner Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) (501-20B,
Description and Operation).

The braking control system provides the following brake functions that are designed to assist the vehicle or aid the driver:

ABS.
RSC (roll stability control).
CBC (corner brake control).
DSC.
EBD (electronic brake force distribution).
Electronic brake prefill.
ETC (electronic traction control).
EBA (emergency brake assist).
EDC (engine drag-torque control).
EUC (enhanced understeer control).
Gradient acceleration control.
Gradient release control.
HDC.
Hill start assist.
Terrain Response® system integration.
Trailer stability assist.

The HDC function is enabled either manually using the HDC switch, or automatically by the Terrain Response® system, in
the ignition on and engine running power modes. All of the other brake functions are automatically enabled in the ignition
on and engine running power modes. The DSC function can be selected off using the DSC switch.

DESCRIPTION

Dynamic Stability Control Switch

The DSC switch allows the DSC function to be selected off. Although Land Rover recommend that DSC is selected on for all
normal driving conditions, it may be beneficial to de-select DSC to maximize traction under the following conditions:

If the vehicle needs to be rocked out of a hollow or a soft surface.


Driving on loose surfaces or with snow chains.
Driving in deep sand, snow or mud.
On tracks with deep longitudinal ruts.

The DSC switch is a non-latching switch installed in the Terrain Response® switchpack, in the floor console. Pressing the
DSC switch produces a high speed CAN chassis systems message from the Terrain Response® switchpack to the ABS
control module. With the first press of the DSC switch, the ABS control module disables the DSC functions. When the DSC
switch is pressed again, the ABS control module re-enables the DSC functions. The DSC switch must be pressed for a
minimum of 0.3 s for the ABS control module to react. The DSC function is re-enabled at the beginning of each ignition
cycle.

The status of the DSC switch selection is shown by the DSC OFF warning indicator. The DSC OFF warning indicator is
extinguished while DSC is selected on, and continuously illuminated while DSC is selected off.

A DSC switch request to disable DSC is ignored by the ABS control module if the air suspension system has failed, or is in
off-road height at speeds above 55 km/h (34 mph).

To guard against incorrect operation or a broken switch, if the input from the DSC switch is held high for more than one
minute, a DTC (diagnostic trouble code) is stored in the ABS control module.

Even if DSC is deselected, driving maneuvers with extreme yaw or lateral acceleration may trigger DSC activity to assist
vehicle stability.
Hill Descent Control Switch

The HDC switch controls the selection of the HDC function.

The HDC switch is a non-latching switch installed in the Terrain Response® switchpack, in the floor console. Pressing and
releasing the HDC switch produces a high speed CAN chassis systems message from the Terrain Response® switchpack to
the ABS control module. With the first press and release of the HDC switch, the ABS control module enables operation of
the HDC function. When the HDC switch is pressed and released again, the ABS control module disables operation of the
HDC function.

To guard against incorrect operation or a broken switch, if the switch is pressed for more than 10 seconds no change of
state occurs. If the input from the HDC switch is held high for more than one minute, a DTC is stored in the ABS control
module.

Wheel Speed Sensors

An active wheel speed sensor is installed in each wheel hub to provide the ABS control module with a rotational speed
signal from each road wheel. The head of each wheel speed sensor is positioned close to a magnetic encoder incorporated
into the seal of the wheel bearing. A flying lead connects each sensor to the vehicle wiring.

The wheel speed sensors each have a power supply connection and a signal connection with the ABS control module. When
the ignition is on, the ABS control module supplies power to the wheel speed sensors and monitors the return signals. The
return signals are converted into individual wheel speeds and the overall vehicle speed by the ABS control module.

The ABS control module outputs the individual wheel speeds, the vehicle speed and the direction of travel on the high speed
CAN buses for use by other systems. The quality of the vehicle speed signal is also broadcast on the high speed CAN
buses. If all wheel speed signals are available to calculate vehicle speed from, the quality of the vehicle speed signal is set
to 'data calculated within specified accuracy'. If one or more wheel speed sensors is faulty, the quality of the vehicle speed
signal is set to 'accuracy outside specification'.

The ABS control module monitors the wheel speed sensor circuits for faults. If a fault is detected the ABS control module
stores a DTC and illuminates the appropriate warning indicators, depending on the system functions affected (DSC/ETC,
ABS, EBA/EBD, HDC). A warning chime is also sounded to alert the driver to the fault condition, and a related message is
shown in the message center.
For additional information, refer to: Instrument Cluster - TDV6 3.0L Diesel - Hybrid Electric Vehicle (413-01 Instrument
Cluster, Description and Operation).

Since the wheel speed sensors are active devices, a return signal is available when the road wheels are not turning, which
enables the ABS control module to check the sensors while the vehicle is stationary. In addition, the direction of travel of
each wheel can be sensed. This information is broadcast on the high speed CAN buses for use by other systems.
Steering Angle Sensor

The steering angle sensor is integrated into the clockspring on the steering column and is able to measure steering wheel
rotation from lock to lock.

Steering angle sensor signals are processed in the clockspring to calculate the steering wheel angle and the steering wheel
angle speed. These values, together with signal integrity information, is transmitted on the high speed CAN chassis systems
for use by the ABS control module and functions such as DSC.

If a fault occurs within the steering angle sensor, a DTC is stored in the steering angle sensor and the ABS control module.
The ABS control module signals the instrument cluster on the high speed CAN powertrain systems to illuminate the
appropriate warning indicators, depending on the brake functions affected. A warning chime sounds to alert the driver to
the fault condition and, if the fault affects the HDC function, a message is displayed in the message center.

Brake Pedal Switch

The brake pedal switch is a two pole switch mounted in the brake pedal bracket and operated by the brake pedal. The ECM
compares the signals from the two poles to confirm the status of the brake pedal switch, which it broadcasts on the high
speed CAN powertrain systems for the ABS control module.

NOTE: The output from both poles is also connected to the CJB (central junction box).

Brake Pedal Position Sensor


The brake pedal position sensor is a dual track potentiometer mounted in the brake pedal bracket and operated by the
brake pedal. The ABS control module supplies a 5 V reference voltage to each track and monitors the return signals, which
are used to control operation of the regenerative braking function.

If the brake pedal position sensor fails, the regenerative braking function is inhibited. All of the other braking functions
remain operative, but the driver may notice a minor increase in the brake pedal movement required to initiate braking.

Anti-lock Brake System Control Module


 

Item Part Number Description


1 - Rear right brake connection
2 - Rear left brake connection
3 - Front right brake connection
4 - Front left brake connection
5 - Rear brake circuit return connection
6 - Primary circuit connection
7 - Secondary circuit connection
8 - Hydraulic control unit
9 - Electrical connector
10 - Control module
The ABS control module consists of an integrated control module and four-channel HCU. The control module uses the HCU
to modulate hydraulic pressure to the individual wheel brakes to control the brake functions.

The ABS control module is installed in the front corner of the engine compartment, on the driver side. A multi-pin electrical
connector provides the electrical interface between the control module and the vehicle wiring. Hydraulic pipes and hoses
connect the HCU to the master cylinder and the brake calipers. The primary and secondary outlets of the master cylinder
are connected to the primary and secondary circuits within the HCU. The primary circuit in the HCU has separate outlet
ports to the front brakes. The secondary circuit in the HCU has separate outlet ports to the rear brakes.

The ABS control module operates in four modes: Regenerative braking, EBD, ABS braking and active braking.

REGENERATIVE BRAKING MODE

Movement of the brake pedal produces a corresponding increase or decrease of the braking forces produced by the MG
(motor generator) braking torque and/or the hydraulic pressure generated in the master cylinder and HCU.

ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE DISTRIBUTION MODE

If the ABS control module determines that EBD is necessary, it isolates the brakes of the trailing axle from any further
increase in hydraulic pressure.

ABS BRAKING MODE

If the ABS control module determines that ABS braking is necessary, it releases pressure from the affected brake. The
reduced pressure allows the wheel to accelerate. The ABS control module then regulates the pressure in the brake to apply
the maximum braking effort without locking the wheel. Individual ABS braking is provided for each wheel.

ACTIVE BRAKING MODE

In the active braking mode, the ABS control module generates and controls hydraulic pressure to the brakes for functions
other than ABS braking, for example DSC, EBA, ETC, HDC, and in support of adaptive speed control and the dynamic
application of the EPB (electronic parking brake).

The ABS control module regulates the pressure in the individual brakes as necessary. Some noise may be generated during
active braking.

OPERATION

Regenerative Braking

Regenerative braking is the MG braking torque that acts on all four wheels when the MG operates as a generator and is
driven by the road wheels via the driveline, transfer case and transmission. Regenerative braking is active in all driving
modes.
When the vehicle is moving and the accelerator pedal is released, the ECM switches the MG to generator mode and
transmits the torque required to drive the MG (the MG braking torque) to the ABS control module in a signal on the high
speed CAN powertrain systems. When the brake pedal is subsequently pressed, the ABS control module instigates a braking
strategy that makes full use of any available MG braking torque. To determine the appropriate braking strategy, the ABS
control module closely monitors the brake pedal movement. From the brake pedal movement the ABS control module
calculates the overall braking torque required.

Approximately the first 12 mm (0.47 in) of brake pedal movement is free play and normally no braking torque is developed
during this movement. Instead, the braking torque is produced by MG braking torque and/or hydraulic operation of the rear
brakes using pressure generated by the pump in the HCU. This is known as series braking and, depending on the amount of
MG braking torque available and the amount of brake pedal movement, operates in three different modes:

MG braking torque only.


Hydraulic operation of the rear brakes only.
MG braking torque and hydraulic operation of the rear brakes.

When brake pedal movement exceeds approximately 12 mm (0.47 in) braking torque is developed on the front axle. The
overall braking torque is produced by hydraulic operation of the front brakes, MG braking torque and/or hydraulic operation
of the rear brakes using pressure generated by the pump in the HCU. This is known as parallel braking and also operate in
three different modes, depending on the amount of MG braking torque available and the amount of brake pedal movement:

Hydraulic operation of the front brakes and MG braking torque.


Hydraulic operation of the front and rear brakes.
Hydraulic operation of the front and rear brakes and MG braking torque.

During regenerative braking, the MG remains in generator mode until either the vehicle approaches a standstill or the
accelerator pedal is pressed.

Anti-lock Brake System

ABS controls the speed of all road wheels to ensure optimum wheel slip when braking at the adhesion limit. This prevents
the wheels from locking in order to retain effective steering control of the vehicle.

On each axle, the brake pressure is modulated separately for each wheel in order to maintain vehicle stability.

If regenerative braking is active when ABS is activated, the ABS control module disables regenerative braking.

Roll Stability Control

The RSC function uses the brake system and engine torque control to attempt to restore vehicle stability if the vehicle is
forced into such a harsh manoeuver that it risks tipping over.

The ABS control module monitors driver inputs and vehicle behavior using various powertrain signals and inputs from the
wheel speed sensors, steering angle sensor and the RCM (yaw rate and lateral acceleration data). These are compared with
modeled behavior and, if vehicle behavior reaches a given risk level, the ABS control module initiates a reduction in engine
power, or brakes one or more wheels sufficiently to correct the vehicle stability and assist the driver to remain in control.

If regenerative braking is active when RSC is activated, the ABS control module disables regenerative braking and uses only
hydraulic application of the brakes to produce any required braking effort.

While the ignition is on, RSC is permanently enabled, even when DSC is selected off.

Corner Brake Control

CBC influences the brake pressures, below the DSC and ABS thresholds, to counteract the yawing moment produced when
braking in a corner. CBC produces a correction torque by limiting the brake pressure on one side of the vehicle, to assist
the vehicle in achieving the turn radius the driver is requesting.

If regenerative braking is active when CBC is activated, the ABS control module disables regenerative braking and uses only
hydraulic application of the brakes to produce any required braking effort.

Dynamic Stability Control

DSC uses the brakes and engine torque control to help maintain the lateral stability of the vehicle. While the ignition is on
the DSC function is permanently enabled unless selected off by the DSC switch. Even if DSC is deselected, driving
maneuvers with extreme yaw or lateral acceleration may trigger DSC activity to assist vehicle stability.

DSC enhances driving safety in abrupt maneuvers and in understeer or oversteer situations that may occur in a bend. The
ABS control module monitors the yaw rate and lateral acceleration of the vehicle, and the steering input, then selectively
applies individual brakes and signals for engine torque adjustments to reduce understeer or oversteer.

If regenerative braking is active when DSC is activated, the ABS control module disables regenerative braking and uses only
hydraulic application of the brakes to produce any required braking effort.

In general:

In an understeering situation, the inner wheels are braked to counteract the yaw movement towards the outer edge
of the bend.
In an oversteering situation, the outer wheels are braked to prevent the rear end of the vehicle from pushing
towards the outer edge of the bend.

The ABS control module monitors the tracking stability of the vehicle using inputs from the wheel speed sensors, the
steering angle sensor and the RCM (yaw rate and lateral acceleration data). The tracking stability is compared with stored
target data and, whenever the tracking stability deviates from the target data, the ABS control module intervenes by
applying the appropriate brakes. When the DSC function is active, the ABS control module also signals the TCM
(transmission control module) to prevent gear shifts, and the instrument cluster to flash the DSC warning indicator.

If necessary, the ABS control module also signals:

The ECM, to reduce engine torque.


The transfer case control module, to adjust the locking torque of the center differential.
The rear differential control module, to adjust the locking torque of the rear differential.

The DSC function overrides the differential locking torque requests from the Terrain Response® system.

If DSC is selected off, a DSC system off message is displayed in the message center.
For additional information, refer to: Instrument Cluster - TDV6 3.0L Diesel - Hybrid Electric Vehicle (413-01 Instrument
Cluster, Description and Operation).

Electronic Brake Force Distribution

EBD limits the brake pressure applied to the brakes of the trailing axle. When the brakes are applied, the weight transfer of
the vehicle reduces the adhesion of the trailing axle wheels on the road surface. This may cause the wheels to slip and
make the vehicle unstable.

EBD uses the ABS hardware to automatically optimize the pressure of the trailing axle brakes, below the point where ABS
intervention is normally invoked. Only the trailing axle wheels are under EBD control.

Electronic Brake Prefill

Electronic brake prefill senses any rapid throttle lift off, activating a small brake hydraulic pressure build-up of
approximately 3 to 5 bar (43.5 to 72.5 lbf/in2) in anticipation of the brakes being applied. This gives a quicker brake pedal
response and consequently slightly shorter stopping distances.

When the ABS control module detects rapid throttle lift off (from the signals received from the ECM over the high speed
CAN powertrain systems), it applies a low brake pressure to all of the brakes to assist in a quicker brake application.

Electronic Traction Control

ETC attempts to optimize forward traction by reducing engine torque or braking a spinning wheel until traction is restored.

ETC is activated if an individual wheel speed is above that of the vehicle reference speed (positive slip) and the brake pedal
is not pressed. The spinning wheel is braked, allowing the excess torque to be transmitted to the non spinning wheels
through the drive line. If necessary, the ABS control module also transmits a high speed CAN powertrain systems message
to the ECM requesting a reduction in engine torque.

Torque reduction requests are for either a slow or fast response. A slow response requests a reduction of throttle angle; a
fast response requests an ignition cut-off.

When the DSC function is selected off with the DSC switch, the engine torque reduction feature is disabled.

When the ETC function is active the ABS control module also signals the TCM to prevent gear shifts.

Emergency Brake Assist

EBA assists the driver during emergency braking situations by automatically maximizing the braking effort. There are two
situations when the ABS control module will invoke EBA:

When the brake pedal is pressed rapidly.


When the brake pedal is pressed hard enough to bring the front brakes into ABS operation.

When the brake pedal is pressed rapidly, the ABS control module increases the hydraulic pressure to all of the brakes until
the threshold for ABS operation is reached. This applies the maximum braking effort for the available traction. The ABS
control module monitors for the rapid application of the brakes using the brake pedal switch status broadcast on the high
speed CAN powertrain systems by the ECM, and from a pressure sensor within the HCU. With the brake pedal pressed, if
the rate of increase of hydraulic pressure exceeds the predetermined limit, the ABS control module invokes emergency
braking.

If regenerative braking is active when EBA is activated, the ABS control module maintains the same level of regenerative
braking and uses hydraulic application of the brakes to produce any additional braking effort that is required.

When the brake pedal is pressed hard enough to bring the front brakes into ABS operation, the ABS control module
increases the hydraulic pressure to the rear brakes up to the ABS threshold.

EBA operation continues until the driver releases the brake pedal enough for the hydraulic pressure in the HCU to fall below
a pre-determined threshold value stored in the ABS control module.

Engine Drag-torque Control

EDC prevents wheel slip caused by any of the following:

A sudden decrease in engine torque when the accelerator is suddenly released.


A downshift using CommandShift™.

When the ABS control module detects the onset of wheel slip without the brakes being applied, it signals the ECM on the
high speed CAN powertrain systems to request a momentary increase in engine torque. Also, when the driver is braking and
the ABS module has reduced brake pressure, but the wheels have not accelerated to the vehicle reference speed quickly
enough, EDC will increase engine torque to accelerate the wheels up to reference speed and regain stability.

Enhanced Understeer Control


EUC monitors the vehicle for understeer by comparing signals of yaw rate and lateral acceleration, from the RCM, with
signals from the steering angle sensor and wheel speed sensors.

When the ABS control module detects the onset of understeer, it signals the ECM via the high speed CAN powertrain
systems to request a decrease in engine torque. If required, the ABS control module applies brake pressure to the inside
rear wheel to correct the understeer. If the vehicle continues to understeer, EUC is activated and uses multiple brakes
(maximum of three brakes) to rapidly reduce the vehicle speed.

If regenerative braking is active when EUC is activated, the ABS control module disables regenerative braking and uses only
hydraulic application of the brakes to produce any required braking effort.

Gradient Acceleration Control

Gradient acceleration control is an automatic feature and is always available when HDC is not selected.

When HDC is not selected, gradient acceleration control will intervene to limit downhill acceleration on a steep descent.

The feature uses generated brake pressure to control acceleration in situations where the driver could lose control of the
vehicle on a steep incline.

Gradient acceleration control keeps the vehicle to a speed and throttle pedal dependant acceleration limit when the vehicle
is moving in the intended direction of travel, for example:

Descending an incline forwards, with D (drive) selected.


Descending an incline backwards, with R (reverse) selected.

When the vehicle is moving against the intended direction of travel, for example: descending a slope, but facing uphill with
D selected, gradient acceleration control will prevent the vehicle accelerating above 5 km/h (3 mph) for up to 20-30
seconds to help the driver re-establish control of the vehicle.

Gradient Release Control

Gradient release control is an automatic feature which is always available when HDC is selected.

If the vehicle is brought to a standstill on a slope using the foot brake, gradient release control will become active (except
in the Terrain Response®, sand program).

When descending a hill, a brake hold and gradual release is employed to provide a smooth transition into HDC. Gradient
release control operates in forward and reverse gears and requires no driver intervention.

Hill Descent Control

HDC uses brake intervention to control vehicle speed and acceleration during low speed descents in off-road and low grip
on-road conditions. Generally, equal pressure is applied to all four brakes, but pressure to individual brakes can be modified
by the ABS and DSC functions to retain stability. Selection of the HDC function is controlled by the HDC switch and the
Terrain Response® switchpack in the floor console. HDC operates in both high and low ranges, at vehicle speeds up to 50
km/h (31.3 mph).

If regenerative braking is active when HDC is activated, the ABS control module maintains the same level of regenerative
braking and uses hydraulic application of the brakes to produce any additional braking effort that is required.

WARNING: Incorrect use of the HDC function may compromise the stability of the vehicle, resulting in a dangerous
and uncontrolled hill descent. Driving with the transmission in neutral while HDC is active will prevent engine braking from
assisting the vehicle. The brakes will overheat and induce the HDC fade out strategy. In this condition there will be no
control over the vehicle during a descent.

NOTE: With the HDC function selected, HDC is operative even when the transmission is in neutral. It is not
recommended to drive the vehicle further than is absolutely necessary with HDC selected and the transmission in neutral.

HDC may be used in D, R and all CommandShift™ gears. When in D, the TCM will automatically select the most appropriate
gear.

HDC can be selected at speeds up to 80 km/h (50 mph), but will only be enabled at speeds below 50 km/h (31.3 mph).
When HDC is selected:

At speeds up to 50 km/h (31.3 mph), the HDC warning indicator is permanently illuminated if a valid gear is
selected.
At speeds from between 50 to 80 km/h (31 to 50 mph) the HDC warning indicator flashes and a message advising
that the speed is too high is displayed in the message center. If the HDC switch is pressed while vehicle speed is
more than 80 km/h (50 mph), the HDC warning indicator will not illuminate and HDC will not be selected.
If the speed increases to 80 km/h (50 mph), the HDC function is switched off, the warning indicator is extinguished,
a warning chime sounds and a message advising that HDC has been switched off is displayed in the message center.

When HDC is enabled, the ABS control module calculates a target deceleration value by comparing the set speed to the
actual vehicle speed. The ABS control module then operates the HCU in the active braking mode as required to achieve and
maintain the target speed.

During active braking for HDC, the ABS control module sends a high speed CAN powertrain systems message to the CJB to
operate the stop lamps.
For additional information, refer to: Exterior Lighting (417-01 Exterior Lighting, Description and Operation).

Applying the foot brake during active braking may result in a pulse through the brake pedal.
The target speed varies between the minimum and maximum values for each gear and transmission range, depending on
driver input with the speed control + and - switches.
For additional information, refer to: Speed Control (310-03A, Description and Operation).

Maximum 35 (21.7) 35 (21.7) 35 (21.7) 35 (21.7)
* Default speed may be modified depending on Terrain Response® program and gear selection
During changes of target speed, the ABS control module limits deceleration and acceleration to -0.5 m/s² (-1.65 ft/s²) and
+0.5 m/s² (+1.65 ft/s²) respectively.

To provide a safe transition from active braking to brakes off, the ABS control module invokes a fade out strategy that
gradually releases the braking effort during active braking. The fade out strategy occurs if any of the following conditions
are detected during active braking:

HDC selected off with the HDC switch.


Failure of a component used by HDC, but not critical to the fade out function.
Accelerator pedal pressed when the transmission is in neutral.
Brake overheat.

If fade out is invoked because of deselection or component failure, the HDC function is cancelled by the ABS control
module. If fade out is invoked because the accelerator pedal is pressed with the transmission in neutral, or because of
brake overheat, the HDC function remains in standby and resumes operation when the accelerator pedal is released or the
brakes have cooled.

The fade out strategy increases the target speed, at a constant acceleration rate of 0.5 m/s² (1.65 ft/s²), until the
maximum target speed is reached or until no active braking is required for 0.5 s. If the accelerator pedal is positioned
within the range that influences target speed, the acceleration rate is increased to 1.0 m/s² (3.3 ft/s²).

When fade out is invoked because of component failure, a warning chime sounds, the HDC warning indicator is extinguished
and a message advising there is a fault is displayed in the message center.

When fade out is invoked because of brake overheat, a message advising that HDC is temporarily unavailable is displayed.
At the end of fade out, the HDC warning indicator flashes. The message and flashing warning indicator remain on, while
HDC remains selected, until the brakes have cooled.

To monitor for brake overheat, the ABS control module monitors the amount of braking activity and, from this, estimates
the temperature of each brake. If the estimated temperature of any brake exceeds a preset limit, the ABS control module
invokes the fade out strategy. After the fade out cycle, the HDC function is re-enabled when the ABS control module
estimates that all of the brake temperatures are at less than 64% of the temperature limit.

When HDC is selected off, the instrument cluster message center temporarily displays a system off message.

ACTIVATION OF STOP LAMPS

Operation of the vehicle stop lamps is controlled by the CJB. The ABS control module monitors the brake system hydraulic
pressure and requests the CJB, via the high speed CAN powertrain systems, to energize the stop lamps during active
braking for HDC. A pressure threshold and time filter prevents the stop lamps from flickering.

When HDC is inactive and the driver presses the brake pedal, the ABS control module uses the input from the brake pedal
position sensor ro operate the stop lamps.

STOP/START SYSTEM

Activation of HDC will deactivate the stop/start system. If HDC is activated while the engine is shutdown in a stop/start
cycle, the engine will automatically restart.
For additional information, refer to: Starting System (303-06E, Description and Operation).

Hill Start Assist

Hill start assist is an automatic feature that aids smooth transition from foot brake to moving away on hill ascents,
regardless of HDC selection.

On steep slopes, hill start assist will hold a portion of the driver generated brake pressure for a short time (2 to 3 seconds)
to allow the driver to move their foot from the brake pedal to the throttle pedal without the vehicle rolling back.

The system will release the brake pressure in a controlled manner, either after the timer has expired or if the driver has
generated sufficient drive-torque to move the vehicle forward up the hill.

The feature is not driver selectable and there is no indication to the driver when in operation.

Terrain Response® System Integration


The Terrain Response® system integrates the ABS and other vehicle system control modules to assist the vehicle when
driving off-road or during difficult surface conditions. Terrain Response® system integration is activated when a Terrain
Response® special program is selected.

When a Terrain Response® special program is selected, the ABS control module, along with other vehicle system control
modules, will operate in accordance with programmed software maps. The software maps allow the ABS system to function
with a threshold that will assist the selected Terrain Response® special program.
For additional information, refer to: Ride and Handling Optimization (204-06 Ride and Handling Optimization, Description
and Operation).

TRACTION LAUNCH CONTROL

Traction launch control is automatically enabled when either the sand or grass/gravel/snow special program is selected on
the Terrain Response® system.

When pulling away from stationary on sand or other dry, yielding ground, excessive wheel spin can cause the wheels to dig
downwards preventing forward movement. On surfaces with low grip, excessive wheel spin can lead to vehicle instability
and reduced vehicle acceleration.

Traction launch control uses the ETC function to limit the amount of wheel spin, allowing a gradual controlled pull away
even if full throttle is applied until the vehicle has gained speed.

ROCK CRAWL PRECHARGE

Rock crawl precharge is automatically enabled when the rock crawl special program is selected on the Terrain Response®
system.

Rock crawl precharge applies a small amount of brake pressure to each brake calliper during low speed driving. This
improves brake and traction control response times helping to reduce forward/backward vehicle roll when cresting an
obstacle or releasing the accelerator pedal.

Trailer Stability Assist

When the trailer electrical socket is connected, trailer stability assist operates automatically to enhance the existing DSC
and Terrain Response® functions of the vehicle when towing. The system detects sway movements caused by trailer
oscillations at speeds in excess of 60 km/h (37 mph) and acts to eliminate them. It does this through braking and engine
management. Braking management counterbalances the sway movement through symmetric and asymmetric braking,
thereby slowing the vehicle and eliminating the oscillations. Engine management adapts engine torque output to support
the braking management in stabilizing the vehicle and trailer.

If regenerative braking is active when trailer stability assist is activated, the ABS control module disables regenerative
braking and uses only hydraulic application of the brakes to produce any required braking effort.

Typical conditions when sway can occur include:

Changing highway lanes.


Traversing a lengthy bend.
Acceleration.
Braking.
Incorrectly laden trailers.

The capability of trailer stability assist to respond early to the beginning of trailer-sway makes the system almost
unnoticeable under normal driving conditions and keeps the vehicle and trailer under safe control. Trailer stability assist
requires no input from the driver and operates up to the maximum vehicle speed.

Trailer stability assist will not operate while DSC is switched off.

Inspection and Verification

WARNINGS:

A risk assessment must be performed before any work is undertaken.

All hybrid electric vehicle work must be performed by a suitably qualified person.

Appropriate Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) must be worn when working on or near a hybrid electric
vehicle high voltage system.

The hybrid electric vehicle battery pack casing must not be opened due to the risk of exposure to
hazardous voltage, which may cause serious injury or death.

The electric power inverter converter casing must not be disassembled due to the risk of exposure to
hazardous voltage, which may cause serious injury or death.

If the hybrid electric vehicle battery pack is damaged or overcharged, there is a risk of exposure to
hazardous voltage and/or highly corrosive electrolyte mist. If liquid or vapour is observed leaking from the
hybrid electric vehicle battery pack, take the following action:

Evacuate the area


Notify manager
Do not breathe smoke/vapour
Contain spillage using spill kit
Wash any spillage off body and clothing (remove contaminated clothing)

If the hybrid electric vehicle warning indicator is illuminated, the Battery Energy Control Module (BECM)
cannot isolate the high voltage cables. Live working will be necessary to rectify the fault.

The motor generator can generate a voltage if the wheels are rotated, even if the hybrid electric vehicle
system has been made safe.

CAUTIONS:

Diagnosis by substitution from a donor vehicle is NOT acceptable. Substitution of control modules does not guarantee
confirmation of a fault, and may also cause additional faults in the vehicle being tested and/or the donor vehicle.

When probing connectors to take measurements in the course of the pinpoint tests, use the adaptor kit, part number
3548-1358-00.

NOTES:

If the control module or a component is suspect and the vehicle remains under manufacturer warranty, refer to the
Warranty Policy and Procedures manual (section B1.2), or determine if any prior approval programme is in operation, prior
to the installation of a new module/component.

Generic scan tools may not read the codes listed, or may read only 5-digit codes. Match the 5 digits from the scan tool
to the first 5 digits of the 7-digit code listed to identify the fault (the last 2 digits give extra information read by the
manufacturer-approved diagnostic system).

When performing voltage or resistance tests, always use a digital multimeter accurate to three decimal places, and
with an up-to-date calibration certificate. When testing resistance, always take the resistance of the digital multimeter leads
into account.
Check and rectify basic faults before beginning diagnostic routines involving pinpoint tests.

Inspect connectors for signs of water ingress, and pins for damage and/or corrosion.

If DTCs are recorded and, after performing the pinpoint tests, a fault is not present, an intermittent concern may be
the cause. Always check for loose connections and corroded terminals.

Check DDW for open campaigns. Refer to the corresponding bulletins and SSMs which may be valid for the specific
customer complaint and carry out the recommendations as required.

OVERVIEW

The vehicle is fitted with electric power steering, provided by a steering gear unit with variable ratio rack and pinion
steering and speed sensitive power assistance. Power assistance is from an electric motor attached to the steering gear.

The steering gear also incorporates:

A Power Steering Control Module (PSCM), on the end of the electric motor.
A reduction gear.
A torque sensor.
Power assistance is controlled by the PSCM, which uses the electric motor to apply an axial force on the steering rack via a
reduction gear. The level of power assistance depends on the steering torque applied with the steering wheel, the vehicle
speed and the terrain response mode selected. The PSCM also uses the electric motor to provide the following assistance
functions:

Assistance changes during Eco Stop/Start functions (where fitted).


Assistance reduction if system overheats.
Assistance reduction if low or high voltage.
Park Assist support (where fitted).
Lane departure warning haptic feedback (where fitted).
For additional information, refer to: Parking Aid (413-13 Parking Aid, Description and Operation).

DESCRIPTION

Steering Gear

Item Part Number Description


1 - Input shaft
2 - Signal and power lead for torque sensor
3 - Steering gear housing
4 - Reduction gear
5 - Boot (2 off)
6 - Tie rod (2 off)
7 - Electric motor
8 - Power Steering Control Module (PSCM)
9 - Torque sensor
10 - Tie rod to tie rod end nut
The steering gear is installed on the front subframe. Two bosses on the rear of the steering gear are attached direct to the
subframe with M14 bolts and captive washers. A mass damper is attached to the steering gear with an M6 bolt and washer
(where fitted).

The input shaft of the steering gear connects to the lower yoke of the steering column lower shaft.
For additional information, refer to: Steering Column (211-04 Steering Column, Description and Operation).

The steering rack bar is installed in a steering gear housing that also contains the pinion shaft and the torque sensor. A
torsion bar connects the pinion shaft to the input shaft. Ball jointed tie rods connect the ends of the steering rack to the
knuckles of the front suspension. The ends of the steering rack are protected by corrugated boots.

The steering gear housing incorporates a mounting for the electric motor. A reduction gear housing, on the end of the
steering gear housing, contains a recirculating ball nut installed on a threaded section of the steering rack. A toothed belt
transmits drive from the electric motor to the recirculating ball nut to provide the power assistance. The ratio of electric
motor revolutions to steering wheel revolutions is approximately 22.41:1.
ELECTRIC MOTOR

The electric motor is a brushless DC (Direct Current) motor. The electronics that convert the DC power supply into phase
voltages are contained in the PSCM.

Motor position is detected by two Hall effect sensors in the PSCM, adjacent to rotating magnets on the electric motor shaft.
The two sensors have different resolutions, which allows the PSCM to monitor both fast and slow movement effectively.
From the position of the electric motor, the PSCM can deduce the position of the road wheels and the steering angle.

After first calibrating the straight-ahead position using the steering angle sensor, the PSCM subsequently uses the motor
position sensor inputs for control of the power steering.

REDUCTION GEAR

Item Part Number Description


1 - Reduction gear housing
2 - Ball nut drive pulley
3 - Ball train
4 - Ball return channel
5 - Ball nut
6 - Steering rack ball channel
7 - Drive belt
8 - Motor drive pulley
The recirculating ball nut in the reduction gear housing is held in a bearing race, allowing the nut to rotate but preventing it
from moving axially. As the electric motor rotates the nut, the balls are driven along the channels in the nut and the
steering rack, and produce an axial force on the steering rack. A ball return channel in the nut, and mechanisms at either
end of the bearing race, recirculate the balls from one side of the nut to the other.

TORQUE SENSOR

The torque sensor provides the PSCM with inputs of the steering torque applied by the driver. The torque sensor is installed
at the junction between the input shaft and the pinion shaft, inside the steering gear housing.

Torque applied to the input shaft is transferred to the pinion shaft through the torsion bar, which twists under load. The
torque sensor calculates the amount of twist in the torsion bar using two Hall effect sensors to monitor the angular position
of the input shaft in relation to the pinion shaft, then transmits the result in a digital signal to the PSCM.

POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE

Item Part Number Description


1 - Electric motor power supply connector
2 - Torque sensor connector
3 - Power Steering Control Module (PSCM) cover
4 - PSCM system connector
The PSCM is located on the end of the electric motor, under a permanently sealed cover.

As well as the control circuitry, the PSCM also contains the power electronics for operating the electric motor.

Power assistance is provided when the following are present:

An ignition feed from the ignition relay in the EJB (Engine Junction Box).
The power mode CAN (Controller Area Network) signal is set to engine running.

Electrical power for operation of the electric motor is provided by a permanent feed from the AJB (Auxiliary Junction Box).
For 100% nominal power assistance, supply voltage must be between 10.5 and 18 V. If supply voltage is outside of these
limits, power assistance is either reduced or discontinued.

The PSCM receives hardwired digital inputs from the torque sensor and high speed CAN Chassis bus inputs of:

Steering angle, from the steering angle sensor.


Engine speed, from the ECM (Engine Control Module) via the GWM (Gateway Module).
Vehicle speed, from the ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) control module.
Automatic steering requests, from the PACM (Parking Aid Control Module) (if park assist system fitted).
Terrain mode request from the Terrain Response™.
Power mode from the CJB (Central Junction Box) via the GWM.
Eco stop/start system stop request from the Engine Control Module (ECM) (if stop/start system fitted).
• Lane departure warning haptic steering wheel vibration request from the HCMB (Headlamp Control module).

The PSCM uses the input data and software algorithms to control electric motor operation. If required, the PSCM can also
transmit outputs, on the high speed CAN Chassis bus, of:

Warning status, to the Instrument Cluster (IC) through the GWM.


Steering status, to the PACM (if Park Assist system fitted) and Terrain Response™.
Eco stop/start system inhibit requests to the ECM through the GWM (if stop/start system fitted).
Tie rod load forces for Auto Terrain Response™ switching.

Reduced Assistance Warning Indicator

If there is a significant reduction in power assistance, the amber general warning indicator illuminates and a warning
message ‘Power steering assistance reduced’ is displayed in the message center. When the warning message is first
displayed, the IC produces a single alert chime.

Freezing Prevention Warning Indicator

The PSCM has detected that water has penetrated the EPS gear and is beginning to freeze. An EPS motor vibration is
initiated. Whilst the vibration is present the amber general warning indicator illuminates and a warning message ‘Steering
vibration activated. Drive with care’ is displayed in the message center. When the warning message is first displayed, the IC
produces a single alert chime.

For additional information, refer to: Information and Message Center (413-08 Information and Message Center, Description
and Operation).

The symptom driven diagnostics tool must be used to diagnose EPS issues, only if directed by diagnostic tools should a
gear be replaced.

If the steering gear is replaced, the correct vehicle specific calibration must be loaded using Land Rover approved diagnostic
equipment.

OPERATION

For the electric power steering system to provide assistance the engine must be running.

If a fault occurs which affects control of the electric motor, the PSCM disables the electric motor. The driver no longer
benefits from power assisted steering, but incorrect control of the electric motor is prevented and the vehicle remains fully
steerable, although with greater physical effort.

Variable Power Assistance

At low speeds, when tire resistance to steering inputs is highest, more assistance is applied to reduce the steering wheel
torque to comfortable levels. At higher speeds, when tire resistance to steering inputs is less, less assistance is applied.

Pull Drift Compensation

This feature aids the driver by compensating for the accumulated effects of various factors that contribute to the pull/drift
of the vehicle. The feature reduces the steering wheel torque that the driver feels while driving in a straight line, by
applying an assisting torque.

Assistance Changes During ECO Stop/Start Functions (Where Fitted)

This feature actively controls the steering torque feedback to the assistance during the engine Eco stopping and starting
activities. It co-ordinates the main steering assistance feature with starter motor events, ensuring smooth, progressive, yet
timely decreases and increases in power assistance. It is designed to remove unwanted steering wheel movement during
these events, which are not directly instigated by the driver.

Assistance Reduction if System Overheats or Voltage is Too High or Low

This feature ensures that the steering requirements of the driver continue to be supported during various extreme
conditions including:

Extreme voltage fluctuations (over and under voltage).


Extreme high temperature.

A temperature sensor is installed in the PSCM for overload protection of the electric motor. The PSCM reduces the level of
power assistance if the temperature of the electric motor is too high, to reduce the amount of heat generated.

Temperature overload can occur at high ambient temperatures combined with high levels of steering activity, especially
when stationary. A temperature overload can also occur if an attempt is made to repeatedly turn the front wheels against a
solid object such as a curb.

Power assistance begins to reduce at a PSCM temperature of approximately 110 °C (230 °F) and reduces to zero at a
temperature of 125 °C (257 °F). At a given level of reduction in the power assistance, the PSCM records a DTC (Diagnostic
Trouble Code) and signals the IC to produce a warning that assistance has been reduced. When the PSCM has cooled,
normal power assistance is restored and the related IC warnings are extinguished.

Soft End Stops

The soft end stop feature reduces the level of power assistance shortly before the mechanical end stops are reached.
Although the driver will perceive this as increased steering resistance, it makes turning the wheels into full lock more
refined. In addition, this feature reduces the stresses on the mechanical and electrical components of the steering system.

Park Assist System (Where Fitted)

When the Park Assist system is active, steering requests from the park distance control module are processed by the PSCM
and applied to the electric motor. This feature assists the driver, during parking maneuvers, by selectively applying turning
forces to the steering system to automatically steer the vehicle.

Permit system assembly.


Allow steering wheel adjustment.
Isolate the steering wheel from any movement of the steering gear during an impact.

A universal joint connects the inner tube to the upper column. An isolator disc, between the universal joint and the inner
tube, reduces NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) in the steering column.

A seal assembly, installed on a bearing sleeve on the outer tube, seals the upper shaft where it passes through the engine
and secondary bulkheads. A bearing allows the upper shaft to rotate within the seal assembly.

The lower shaft consists of a double universal joint with a stub shaft and pinion extension to connect it to the upper shaft
and the steering gear respectively. The universal joint is fitted with a corrugated boot.

Upper Column - Electric adjustment

Item Part Number Description


1 - Steering wheel module and clockspring assembly
2 - Screw (2 off)
3 - Upper cowl
4 - Tilt adjustment motor
5 - Electric steering column lock or dummy lock
6 - Energy management plate
7 - Outer bracket
8 - Reach adjustment motor
9 - Swing bracket
10 - Column spindle
11 - Column jacket
12 - Inner bracket
13 - Screw (2 off)
14 - Steering column adjustment switch
15 - Lower cowl
16 - IAU transceiver (where fitted)
The column spindle is part of the column jacket assembly, that is installed in the swing bracket. An electric motor on the
swing bracket drives the column jacket assembly axially within the swing bracket to provide the reach adjustment of the
steering column.

The swing bracket is attached to the inner bracket with two pivot pins at the front and two threaded spindles at the rear. A
second electric motor on the swing bracket drives the spindles to raise and lower the rear of the swing bracket, relative to
the inner bracket, to provide the tilt adjustment of the steering column.

The inner bracket is located on rails in an outer bracket, which is attached to the cross car beam. The inner and outer
brackets are locked together by an energy management plate, which is attached to both brackets with screws. In a serious
impact, to prevent excessive force causing injury as the driver strikes the airbag, the inner bracket progressively moves
forwards on the rails in the outer bracket. The movement is controlled by sections of the energy management plate that
peel back in a controlled manner, absorbing energy and allowing the steering wheel to move with the driver.

The steering wheel module and clockspring assembly is attached to the top of the column jacket by two screws. The
assembly includes the multifunction switches for the exterior lighting and for the wipers and washers.

Upper and lower cowls cover that part of the upper column not concealed by the instrument panel. The steering column
adjustment switch, for control of the tilt and reach adjustment motors, is installed in the right side of the lower cowl. The
lower cowl also contains an IAU (Immobilizer Antenna Unit) transceiver for the passive entry passive start system.
For additional information, refer to: Anti-Theft - Passive (419-01B Anti-Theft - Passive, Description and Operation).

Upper Column - Manual adjustment

Item Part Number Description


1 - Column jacket
2 - Inner bracket
3 - Outer bracket
4 - Counterbalance Spring (2 off)
5 - Electric steering column lock or dummy lock
6 - Steering column manual adjustment lever
As power adjustment except: The shaft of the upper column is installed in a bearing housing that is attached to an inner
bracket with a pivot pin and an adjustment locking mechanism. Slots at the attachment points, in the bearing housing and
the inner bracket, allow the bearing housing to move axially and to tilt in the inner bracket, to provide the rake and reach
adjustment of the steering wheel. The locking mechanism is a friction lock, operated by a lever turning a cam disc.

ELECTRIC STEERING COLUMN LOCK (WHERE FITTED)

The electric steering column lock is attached to the underside of the column jacket assembly. The lock engages with a
locking sleeve on the shaft of the upper column to lock the steering. A tolerance ring is installed between the locking sleeve
and the spindle of the upper column. The tolerance ring allows the spindle to turn in the locking sleeve if a high torque is
applied to the steering wheel when the lock is engaged. This prevents the locking bolt from being sheared by someone
forcibly turning the steering wheel while the steering lock is engaged, while still effectively locking the steering. Engagement
and disengagement of the electric steering column lock is controlled by the passive anti-theft system.
For additional information, refer to: Anti-Theft - Passive (419-01B Anti-Theft - Passive, Description and Operation).

In markets where an electric steering column lock is not fitted, a dummy lock is installed to provide a forward attachment
point for the steering column lower cowl, and the electric steering column lock is disabled in the car configuration files.

Steering Wheel

Item Part Number Description


1 - Upshift paddle switch
2 - Right steering wheel switchpack
3 - Steering wheel heater switch (where fitted)
4 - Driver airbag
5 - Steering wheel heater control module (where fitted)
6 - Steering wheel securing screw
7 - Heater mat / temperature sensor connector (where fitted)
8 - Left steering wheel switchpack
9 - Downshift paddle switch
The steering wheel is located on the hexagonal drive end of the column spindle and secured with a M10 pan headed screw.
The end of the spindle is marked to indicate the straight ahead position.

The driver airbag and two steering wheel switchpacks are installed in the center of the steering wheel. Upshift and
downshift paddle switches are attached to the front of the steering wheel. A link harness connects the steering wheel
components to the clockspring.

STEERING WHEEL HEATER (WHERE FITTED)


The steering wheel heater consists of a heater mat and a NTC (negative temperature coefficient) temperature sensor
installed around the rim of the steering wheel under the trim. The heater mat and temperature sensor are connected to a
steering wheel heater control module integrated into the link harness under the driver airbag. A switch on the right steering
wheel switchpack switches the heater on and off.

OPERATION

Steering Column Adjustment

Operation of the steering column adjustment is controlled by the steering column adjustment switch and the CJB (central
junction box).

When the steering column adjustment switch is in the COLUMN position, forward, rearward, up and down selections on the
switch complete a reference voltage circuit with the CJB, through different elements of a resistive ladder in the switch. The
CJB relates the different reference voltages produced to the individual switch selections, then outputs a voltage to the
appropriate steering column adjustment motor to adjust the steering column in the required direction. Each steering column
adjustment motor incorporates a Hall effect sensor, which allows the CJB to determine the position of the steering column.

When the steering column adjustment switch is in the AUTO position, the switch completes a reference voltage circuit with
the CJB that bypasses the resistive ladder. When the CJB detects that the steering column adjustment switch is in the
AUTO position, it enables the easy exit/entry mode to provide easier exit from, and entry to, the vehicle. When the driver
door is opened, the steering column moves to the uppermost tilt position. When the driver door is closed and the ignition is
selected on, the steering column moves to the driving position associated with the smart key being used.

The memory function for the driver seat also stores the position of the steering column for each memory setting.
For additional information, refer to: Seats (501-10 Seating, Description and Operation).

Steering Wheel Heater (Where Fitted)

Operation of the steering wheel heater is controlled by the steering wheel heater switch and the steering wheel heater
control module.

Power for the steering wheel heater is supplied to the steering wheel heater control module from the ignition relay in the
CJB via the clockspring. Operating the steering wheel heater switch provides a ground signal to the steering wheel heater
control module, which then supplies power to the heater mat and the temperature sensor of the steering wheel heater. The
steering wheel heater control module monitors the temperature of the heater mat using the input from the temperature
sensor, and regulates the power supply to the heater mat accordingly to maintain it at the optimum temperature.

A heater symbol in the switch is illuminated amber when the steering wheel heater is on. When the steering wheel heater is
off, the symbol is either not illuminated or, if the exterior lighting is on, illuminated green.

Diagnosis and Testing

Principles of Operation

For a detailed description of the steering wheel heater, refer to the relevant Description and Operation section in the
workshop manual.
REFER to: Steering Column (211-04 Steering Column, Description and Operation).

Inspection and Verification

CAUTIONS:

Diagnosis by substitution from a donor vehicle is NOT acceptable. Substitution of control modules does not guarantee
confirmation of a fault, and may also cause additional faults in the vehicle being tested and/or the donor vehicle.

When probing connectors to take measurements in the course of the pinpoint tests, use the adapter kit, part number
3548-1358-00.

NOTES:

If the control module or a component is suspect and the vehicle remains under manufacturer warranty, refer to the
Warranty Policy and Procedures manual (section B1.2), or determine if any prior approval programme is in operation, prior
to the installation of a new module/component.

Generic scan tools may not read the codes listed, or may read only 5-digit codes. Match the 5 digits from the scan tool
to the first 5 digits of the 7-digit code listed to identify the fault (the last 2 digits give extra information read by the
manufacturer-approved diagnostic system).

When performing voltage or resistance tests, always use a digital multimeter accurate to three decimal places, and
with an up-to-date calibration certificate. When testing resistance always take the resistance of the digital multimeter leads
into account.

Check and rectify basic faults before beginning diagnostic routines involving pinpoint tests.

Inspect connectors for signs of water ingress, and pins for damage and/or corrosion.

If DTCs are recorded and, after performing the pinpoint tests, a fault is not present, an intermittent concern may be
the cause. Always check for loose connections and corroded terminals.

1. Verify the customer concern

2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of damage and system integrity
