Automatic Transmission (V12) Powertrain 
Engine Speed 
The engine  speed is provided by  an open collector  signal supplied  from the engine  management  control module 
(ECM). 
Throttle Position 
This signal,  from the ECM,  performs the  following two functions: 
1. 
2. 
Engine  Torque  (and warm-up) 
This signal,  from the ECM,  performs the  following three functions: 
1.  During  cranking  to convey  the completion  of an  engine warm
-up  cycle  to TCM. 
2. To  convey engine  torque information,  under normal running  conditions, to TCM. 
3. To  convey engine  torque fault signals to TCM. 
Engine ‘warm
-up’  cycle commences  from ignition ON until 500ms after the engine  exceeds 400rpm. After this time 
delay  either  an engine torque,  or torque  fault signal  will be transmitted. 
Transmission Input Speed 
The  transmission  input speed sensor  is mounted  within the transmission housing  and produces a variable frequency 
signal,  directly  proportional  to forward  clutch housing rotational  speed which  is transmitted  to the  TCM.  Sensor resis- tance equals 1.25kQ f 0.25. 
Transmission  Output Speed 
The transmission  output speed sensor is mounted  within the transmission housing  and produces a variable frequency 
signal,  directly  proportional  to the  rear carrier  rotational speed which  is transmitted  to the  TCM.  Sensor resistance 
equals 
1.25w2 + 0.25. 
hake Application 
When a brake  application signal  is received, due  to brake  switch  operation,  the torque  convertor clutch  lock-up sole- noid  is de-energized,  releasing lock-up mode  if already  applied 
Transmission  Oil Temperature 
The  transmission oil temperature  sensor, located within the internal  harness,  monitors  oil temperature  and transmits a corresponding signal  to the  TCM. 
To convey  throttle position information  to the  TCM. 
To  indicate  fault conditions  between ECM and throttle  potentiometer. 
8.2.4.2 OUTPUTS 
Gear  Shift Solenoids 
The two  gear  shift solenoids, located  within the transmission  housing, determine  gear ratio  when  the selector  is in  any 
of the forward  gear positions. 
Force Motor 
The force  motor,  mounted within the transmission  housing acts as a transmission  torque fluid pressure regulator. 
Torque  Converter  Clutch (TCC) Solenoid 
The torque converter clutch  solenoid, mounted within the transmission  housing, provides a direct drive from the en- gine, via  the converter  clutch, to the driven  wheels, giving the  efficiency of a manual  gearbox.  The  solenoid also pro- vides a  ’ramp‘ apply and  release to engage / disengage  the clutch  gently.

Engine 
Torque  Reduction and  Malfunction Indication 
This signal,  to the  ECM,  has three modes  of operation. 
1. To  indicate  normal engine operation  to the  ECM. 
2. During  gearshifts,  to request  reduction  of engine  torque 
3. During fault  conditions, to inform  the ECM. 
During normal  operation 
theTCM outputs a constant  duty cycle  signal  to the  ECM.  The signal  is changed  when torque 
reduction  is required  to indicate  to the  ECM  the degree  of ignition  retardation  necessary.  If a fault  condition,  relating 
to  OBD 
II CARB  legislation,  occurs  the TCM will transmit  a signal  to the  ECM  relating  this event.  The ECM will only 
respond  to this  signal if its duration  is 100 milli-seconds or longer. 
If the  signal  from the torque reduction line  is either HIGH or LOW for 2 or  more  seconds  the EMS will recognise  that 
a  fault  may be present and  transmit this information  to the  TCM. 
If the  signal  from the torque  reduction line lasts  for 2 or more  seconds  the EMS will return  to normal  operation. 
Sport Mode  Indicator  Lamp 
The sport  mode  indicator  lamp, mounted  on the  instrument  panel, is illuminate when  sport mode  is selected  and the 
ignition  switch is ON. Sport mode  is selected  at a two  position switch  mounted to the  rear  of the  gear  selector  assembly. 
Gearbox Failure Warning  Lamp 
The gearbox failure  warning lamp, mounted on the  instrument panel, is illuminated  when afault is  detected bytheTCM within the transmission  electrical or mechanical systems. 
Vehicle  Speed (12 cylinder  vehicles only) 
This output  signal is  calculated  from the transmission  output speed and  supplied to the  ECM  as an  indication  of vehicle 
speed.

Brakes (a) 
The input  frequency  of each  sensor  signal is translated,  by the ABS /TC CM,  into a  comparable wheel  speed. Should 
any sensed speed  be in excess  of 330 km / h the  relevant  sensor is designated  'faulty' and ABS  /TC control  disabled. 
Similarly ABS/TCcontrol is inhibited (switched  off until fault condition  is cleared) at speeds up to 40 km/ h whenfre- quency  fluctuations  are detected  that are inconsistent  with wheel  rotation.  At  speeds  above 40 km / h both  systems 
are  disabled  when inconsistencies  are detected. 
Traction  control (where  fitted) is achieved  by using 
a small motor  and pulley  arrangement  to adjust  the position of the 
throttle  flap.  Under  normal operating conditions the  system is enabled by default.  Operation of the Traction  OFF / ON switch, located  on the RH side of the  fascia  switch  pack, disables  the system and  illuminates the  TRACTION OFF lamp 
located  in the  instrument  pack. 
Control  is effected  to prevent wheel  spin by regulating (reducing) the  throttle flap position, irrespective  of the acceler
- 
ator pedal position,  using sensor  signal comparisons and  applying braking force to the  wheel affected.  Precise posi- tioning  of the  flap  is  achieved by monitoring  the  position  of a throttle position  sensor. When traction  control  is 
requested 
a gearshift  inhibit signal is transmitted  to the traction control module  and cruise control (if selected) is dis- abled.

12.3 COMPONENT DESCRlPTlONS 
ABS / TC CM (3 Fig. 1) 
The ABS / TC CM,  located  just  below the  hydraulic valve 
block  on the  bulkhead,  is the system  controller  and pro- 
cesses  all thevarious information supplied  from the external 
sensors and  probes. The unit monitors  ABS / TC operation 
giving  fault indication  and disabling the  systems when de- fects are detected. The  unit is self  testing and  cannot be fault 
diagnosed  beyond 'black box' level i.e. faulty  module. Sys- 
tem fault  codes  are stored  in a non-volatile memory  for in- terrogation by external diagnostic  equipment. 
Solenoid Valves (2 Fig. 1) 
The solenoid  operated  hydraulic  valves, located  within the 
hydraulic module  valve block,  regulate  the supply of pres- sure to the braking circuits allowing individual control of all wheels  with a full  ABS  /TC system. 
Nnfe: For ABS  only,  the driving  (rear) wheels  are con- 
trolled by a common braking circuit. 
The  traction control  system isolating  valve has the 
same  characteristics  as 
a normally open valve. a 
Hydraulic  Pump /Motor  Unit (1 Fig. 1) 
This unit,  located above  the hydraulic valve  block, ensures 
that  brake  fluid is transmitted around the  system at the cor- rect operating  pressure.  The  250W ds. motor  draws  32A 
current at peak  operation  and has an internal  resistance  of 0.m. 
Wheel Speed Sensors (Fig. 2) 
The four  wheel  speed sensors are  identical in function  and 
construction.  Wheel rotation  creates the signal  within the 
sensor.  This signal is supplied  to the  ABS  /TC 
CM where it provides  wheel speed  information.  The sensor  coil has a re- sistance  value of 1.1 k Q and  will have  a voltage of 2.5V pres- ent on each  connecting  pin when the  vehicle is stationary. 
Throttle  Flap Actuator  Motor / Position Sensor (Fig. 3) 
The throttle  flap actuator motor,  mounted adjacent tothe hy- draulic control  unit, adjusts throttle position, irrespective  of 
accelerator pedal  position,  by  regulating throttle  opening 
when  traction  control  is demanded.  The actuator  motor 
nominal  12V terminal  voltage  is supplied  by  ABS 
/ TC CMduring normal operation.  The motor  has an  internal re- sistance  of approximately 1.6Q. The throttle position  sensor 
supplies  information  relative to the position of its  centre tap 
to  the  ABS 
/ TC CM which  regulates actuator  movement. 
The sensor  has a resistance  of 6.4 K!2. Aterminal  voltage of 5V is supplied by ABS/TC CM to  connection 3 during normal 
operation,voltage between connections  1 and 2 will  vary  be- tween 0 and 5V dependant  on wiper position.

Climate Control Systems 
14.2.3 Solar Sensor  (Fig. 1) 
The solar  sensor  is mounted  on top of the  facia, between  the 
facia  defrost  grilles. 
The  sensor  isconstructed around 
a photo-diode to measure 
direct  sunlight.  The sensor  provides an output  response  sig- 
nal totheA1CCM;thisensuresthe in-cartemperaturestabil- ity whilst  reducing outlet temperature  to compensate  for 
solar  load heating.  The solar  sensor  is fitted  to aircondition- ing vehicles  only. 
14.2.4  Engine Speed Signal 
The A 1 CCM  receives  an engine  speed signal from the En- gine Control Module (ECM). 
This signal facilitates  compressor lock sensing (12 cyl. ve- hicles only). 
This  signal  also  aids  the A 
1 CCM  inhibition  of the  heated 
screen relays.  At engine  speeds  lower than 800 RPM the A I CCM  assumes  poor idle or engine  not running  and will not 
permit the  selection of the  heated  screens. 
14.2.5  Ambient Temperature  Sensor (Fig. 2) 
The ambient  temperature  sensor is located  within the LH 
brake cooling  duct. 
The sensor detects  exterior airtemperature  and provides the 
A 
I CCM  with a signal  to allow compensation  for ambient 
conditions. 
The  A 
1 CCM  is then  capable  of informing  the control  panel of the  ambient air temperature  in both  Centigrade  and 
Fahrenheit,  and  updates  the information  every four 
seconds. 
The  sensor  is damped  and 
so does not detect  temperature 
fluctuations  as quickly  as other temperature  sensors. This 
facility  prevents  temporary temperature fluctuations  affec
- ting overall temperature control. 
14.2.6  Vehicle Speed Signal 
The A 1 CCM  receives a road speed  signal from the instru- ment  pack, derived  from the ABS 1 TC CM. 
This signal  is required  to control the blower fan  speed to mi
- nimise the  effects of ram air, i.e. blower fan  speed changes 
in  proportion  to vehicle  road speed. 
The  signal  also determines  the frequency 
at which the ambi- ent air  temperature is  updated. The road  speed compensa- 
tion  for blower  control  is inhibited  when  the  selected 
temperature  is 'LO  (maximum cooling) and 'HI' (maximum 
heating)  and defrost mode. 
14.2.7  Evaporator  Temperature  Sensor 
Located next to the  evaporator  fins, the sensor  detects  the air temperature leaving the  evaporator, and sends  this sig- nal to the  A 1 CCM. 
When  the temperature  approaches 
OOC, the A 1 CCM  disen- 
gages  the compressor  to prevent freezing  conditions. When 
thetemperature  rises above3OC.theAlCCM re-engagesthe 
compressor.

14.2.8  Heater  Matrix Temperature  Sensor 
This sensor  is positioned inside the  air conditioning  unit just 
downstream of the  heater matrix.  The sensor  monitors the 
post
-heater  air temperature, before  the air is distributed  to 
the  passenger  compartment.  In conjunction  with the A / CCM  this sensor  provides the  input to maintain a constant 
outlet  temperature. 
14.2.9  Coolant Temperature  Signal 
This input  is required  to provide blower  inhibit control,  to 
avoid cold 
air being delivered  in heating mode when the  en- gine  coolant temperature is  below 3OOC. The input  also 
monitors  the temperature of  the  coolant  delivered to the 
heater  matrix to assist  outlet temperature control. 
14.2. IO Compressor ON Signal 
This signal line monitors the  compressor relay to inform  the 
A/  CCM  of the  compressor status and to facilitate  lock detec- 
tion  and error  sensing. 
14.2.11 Motorized In-car Aspirator  (Fig. 1) 
The Motorized In-car Aspirator  (MIA) detects  the air tem- perature  within the passenger  compartment.  A small  motor 
driven fan  (blown aspirator) draws  air across  the thermistor, 
which  changes  its electrical  resistances  in response  to 
changes  in air temperature,  converting 
a temperature rating 
into  an electrical  signal. 
The  MIA  is  located  on  the back of  the  driver's  side  knee 
bolster. 
14.2.12  Compressor  Lock Signal - 12 cy/. vehicles  only 
This signal provides  the A / CCM with compressor  rotation 
speed.  This is then compared  with engine  rotation  speed. 
If the ratio of the  compressor speed against  engine speed 
drops belowthe A/CCM limits, indicating compressor/ belt 
slippage,  the compressor  clutch is disengaged. 
When  compressor  clutch disengaging  commences the A/C 
LED on the  control  panel will flash  once per second. 
14.2.13  Refrigerant  Pressure Switch (A/C Vehicles only) 
The refrigerant  pressure switch (Fig. 2) is located under  the 
hood  on the  liquid  line. 
The  switch  contacts  open  when  abnormal  pressures are 
sensed.  This action  inhibits  the compressor  clutch drive. 
14.2.14  Water  Valve 
The water  valve is used  in conjunction  with the water  pump 
to  regulate  the output  air temperature.  The water  valve is off when the  ignition is on,  engine  not running. 
14.2.15  Water  Pump 
The water  pump  is energized  in all  engine  running  modes 
except  for under  cold coolant condition at blower  inhibit and 
in  panel 
off mode.  The water  pump  is off when the  ignition 
is  on,  engine  not running.
