15.2.7 FAULT DIAGNOSIS
15.2.7.1 Active High /Low Inputs
On certain inputs, ignition voltage is applied to the input via a 'pull-up' resistor inside the instrument pack (Fig. 1). This
supplies
a 'high' signal to the instrument pack input electronics. The signal can be pulled to ground by an external
component.
Active Low
This is where the component controlling the input to the instrument pack is normally in an open circuit condition, allow- ing the input to rise to the 'pull-up' voltage (ignition). When a function is required to be active (eg a warning lamp to
come on) the external component switches the input to a 'low' or ground condition, over-riding the 'pull-up'. The low
must be 1 volt or less, relative to the instrument pack's ground connection, to activate the function.
Active High
This is where the component controlling the input to the instrument pack is normally in a 'low' or ground condition,
over-riding the 'pull-up' voltage (ignition). When a function is required to be active (eg a warning lamp to come on)
the external component switches the input to
a 'high' or open circuit condition. The 'high' must be 5.0 volts or more,
relative to the instrument pack's ground connection, to activate the function. If the input is open circuit, the 'pull-up'
will raise the input voltage to ignition voltage and the resulting 'high' will activate the function.

2.
Switch ignition on and observe pack reset sequence. All lamps should illuminate. Renew any lamps which do not
illuminate.
If lamp still does not illuminate under the required conditions refer to Pin Point Tests for relevant circuit checks.

If all previous checks prove correct remove and open the instrument pack. Examine flexi-circuit connections to
tachometer, ensuring correct and secure fitment.
Check continuity of flexi
-circuit tracks to tachometer connections.
Check continuity of speedometer driver windings by disconnecting from flexi
-circuit and testing between the
upper central connection pin and each of the other two pins, If open circuit is recorded renew tachometer.

2. If no illumination check rear of instrument pack for attachment of 'PECUS' label. If label is not present then pack
will not have been programmed.
Check bulbs in rear of LCD module, renew as necessary.
Missing or Corrupt Segments
1. Switch ignition off, leave off for a minimum of 5 minutes, switch on and re-check panel display.
2. If display is still faulty remove instrument pack from vehicle and checkconnections between flexi-circuit and LCD
module.

U: This lamp is present in all vehicle instrument packs but only Japanese market cars have the sensor circuitry
installed and connected. The lamp will be illuminated during instrument pack reset sequence
at each ignition
cycle.
1. Ensure harness wiring is intact from instrument pack pin 23 (48-way connector) to catalyst switching module and
from switching module to each thermocouple.
2. Check continuity across each thermocouple, renew if open circuit is recorded.
3. Measure voltage at pack pin
23,48-way connector, 0 volts indicates signal low ie lamp ON. A value of 12V at pin 15 indicates healthy signal, or no sensing circuitry fitted.

SPEED CONTROL
System Description
0 15.3 15.3.1
The speed control system provides an automatic cruise facility, allowing a constant speed to be maintained without
accelerator pedal operation. The system comprises the following components:
0 Electronic control unit
0 Vacuum dump valve
0 Control valve
0 Vacuum pump
0 Mechanical throttle linkage and bellows
0 Selection switch
0 Brake and clutch pedal switches
On selection of speed control, via the switches mounted on the driver's side fascia, the vacuum dump valve, pump and
control valve will energize, creating
a partial vacuum in the bellows assembly. The bellows assembly acts upon the
throttle linkage to adjust throttle position, maintaining vehicle speed at the value when control is selected.
Speed control is determined by the Speed Control Control Module
(SC CM) which monitors a speed signal delivered
from the instrument pack (initially from the ABS rear LH wheel speed sensor) to determine vehicle speed.
Speedcontrol isdisabled, returning control tothedriver,
byoperationofthevacuumdumpvalve,ifanyofthefollowing situations occur: 0
0 Braking
0 Clutch operation (3.2 / 4.0 litre manual transmission vehicles only)
o Drive de-select ie P, N or R (automatic transmissions only, both electronic and hydraulic)
0 Traction control system (where fitted) in operation
0 Rapid speed reduction without braking input, ie double brake switch failure
0 Actual speed drop to 3/4 of cruise setting (eg when towing excessive loads under adverse conditions)
0 Vehicle speeds below w 25 mph
0 Ignition OFF
0 De-selection at switch controls
15.3.2 COMPONENT DESCRlPTlO NS
15.3.2.1 Electronic Control Module
The Speed Control Control Module (SC CM), located behind the fascia, adjacent to the steering column, provides sys- tem control and an interface to external input signals from the instrument pack, gear selector module, traction control
system, control switches, and foot pedal switches. The set speed value is retained in SC CM memory and continuously
compared to actual vehicle speed. Adjustments are made, as necessary, to maintain set speed by control of the vac- uum pump and control valve. Connections to the SC CM are listed in the table on page 3.

15.3.2.3 Vacuum Pump /Control Valve Unit
The vacuum pump / control valve unit is located under the hood, behind the LH headlamp. When adjustment of the
throttle position is required, the pump and valve are 'pulsed' on/off by the SC CM to achieve the required vacuum and
hence vehicle speed.
15.3.2.4 Pressure Release Valve
The pressure release (or dump) valve is located adjacent to the vacuum pump /control valve module and opens, vent- ing system air pressure to atmosphere, when speed control is disabled.

15.3.5 PIN-POINT TESTS
The following tests give detailed information on component fault diagnosis.
1. Power supply
a. Check fuse FIO in LH 'A' post base fuse-box is intact.
b. Unplug harness connector from SCCM and check for battery supply voltage to ground, at pins 1 and 2
with ignition on. If supply is not recorded on either pin switch off ignition and check harness wiring
continuity from LH
'A' post base fuse-box to splice FCS16.
If supply is recorded at pin 1 only check brake and clutch (where fitted) switch contacts (closed when
pedals not operated). For vehicles with automatic transmission ensure clutch pedal switch link is
correctly fitted. Examine harness wiring and check continuity between pin
2 and splice FCS16.
If supply is recorded at pin 2 only examine harness wiring and check continuity from pin 1 to splice
FCS

a. Unplug switch pack connector and check for battery voltage between pin 4 and ground with
ignition
off. If battery voltage is not present, switch ignition off and examine wiring harness,
checking continuity between pin
4 and splice FCS16.
b. Test operation of switches between pins as follows:
ON: Normally open; closes on operation completing circuit between pins
4 and 5 and pins 1
and 5. A resistance of less than IQ should be recorded when testing pins 4 and 5.
Minimal resistance should be recorded when testing pins 1 and 5.
SET: Normally open; closes on operation completing circuit between pins 2 and 5.
A resistance of approximately 100Q should be recorded.
RES: Normally open; closes on operation completing circuit between pins
2 and 5.
A resistance of approximately 330Q should be recorded.
c. Examine wiring harness and check continuity between pin
5 and ground.
