Automatic Transmission (AJ16) w 
8.1.1 ZF 4HP 24 E TRANSMISSION,  SYSTEM DESCRIPTION 
The electronic  transmission  system fitted to normally  aspirated  4.0 liter  vehicles comprises the  following components: 
0 ZF 4HP 24 E Automatic  Transmission 
0 Rotary selector  switch 
0 Electronic Transmission  Control Module 
0 Decoder Module 
0 Performance  Mode Switch 
0 Kickdown Switch 
0 Gear Selection Illumination Module 
System  control is effected  by the transmission control module  (TCM), located  behind the  passenger side fascia,  which 
continuously monitors  requests made by the drivervia the  gearselector, throttle pedal etc. This  data  is used 
inconiunc- tion with  the speed  input from the transmission  and inputs  from the engine management  system, to calculate  optimum 
shift points  and control parametersfor shift  pressure and ignition  retardation  to enhance  shift quality and  reduce trans- 
mission  unit wear. 
TheTCM is also able  to detect  faults within  the system and  store the relevant fault codes  for interrogation  with diagnos- 
tic equipment. 
Gear  shifts  are controlled  by three solenoid  valves, and 
a pressure  control regulator,  located on the  valve block  within 
the transmission  unit assembly.  If a serious fault occurs,  the TCM  removes all electrical power  from these  valves and 
the transmission  system reverts to a mechanical default condition.  This condition allows only  mechanical selection 
of  reverse and  one forward  gear, either  third or fourth, depending on prevailing conditions  at the  time  of the  default. 
The decoder  module receives  inputs from the rotary switch  and decodes these  to drive  one of six possible outputs, 
illuminating  the correct  gear indicator on  the gear  selector  illumination  module. 
The  performance  mode switch and kick
-down  switch  are used  to adjust  transmission operation  as required by the 
driver.  Performance mode  selection,  made via a switch mounted on the  gear selector mechanism surround,  can  be 
either  NORMAL,  for everyday  use, or SPORT,  for enhanced  performance.  Kick
-down is activated by a switch mounted 
below the  accelerator pedal and  is used  to initiate a downward  gear change,  increasing torque and acceleration. 
8.1.2 COMPONENT DESCRlPTIONS 
Transmission  Unit 
The ZF 4HP  24 E automatic transmission unit  houses the three  solenoid  valves which control  gear shifts.  A pressure 
control  valve is  also located  on the solenoid valve  block. These four valves  initiate  and control shift  patterns within 
the transmission  unit by regulating  fluid flow. 
Rotary Selector  Switch 
The seven position rotary  gear selector  switch is mounted  on the  LH side  of the transmission  unit and indicates  gear 
selection  to the  TCM  and decoder  module. 
Transmission  Control Module 
The electronic  transmission control module  regulates gear changes  by controlling the operation of the transmission 
unit solenoid  valves, and monitoring  the state  of other  vehicle systems  which have an effect on  torque demand,  vehicle 
speed  etc. The module  also interfaces  with the engine management  system, climate control  system, body processor 
unit  and ABS 
I traction control  system. 
Connections  from the TCM  are listed on the  following page.

14.1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION 
The Air Conditioning electronic Control  Module (A/ CCM)  located  on the  right-hand  side of the  A / C unit, controls  the 0 functions  of the  system. 
These  functions  include: 
0 In-car temperature  control 
0 In-car humidity control  (Air conditioning  vehicles only) 
0 Air flow / volume  and distribution 
The  temperature  of the  passenger  compartment  is continuously compared  with the temperature  selected on the  con
- trol  panel  LCD. A digital  microprocessor  within the A/ CCM  receives  the data signals.  Comparison of these  signals 
and  those  from system temperature  sensors and feedback devices  results in the appropriate  output voltage  changes 
needed  to vary  the blend  of air  flow  into the passenger  compartment. 
The  climate control  system peripherals communicate  with the A/ CCM  via three  main device categories  comprising 
of  manual  inputs, automatic  outputs and inputs,  as shown 
in Fig. 1.

Heater only vehicles  do not  have  the following fitted: 
This section applies generally  to both  air conditioning  and heater systems.  System specific descriptions, pro- 
cedures, tests etc. are indicated. 
0 Solar  sensor 
0 Clutch request  and acknowledge  circuitry. 
0 Refrigerant  pressure switch. 
0 Control panel - deletion of air  conditioning  button. 
6 cyl. engined vehicles  do not have either  the electrical  load inhibit or the  compressor lock  sensor.

(HFS) is  optional  on both  air conditioning  and heater  panel versions. 
14.2  COMPONENT  DESCRIPTIONS 
14.2.1  Control  Panel 
The control  panel (Fig. 1) provides the operator interface  with the climate  control system. 
The  control  panel communicates  with the 
A / CCM via a serial data  communications  link.  During each data  transfer 
cycle  the control  panel states  whether it is an  air conditioning  or heater version,  thus enabling  the A/ CCM to control 
the  system  functions  accordingly. 
Tontrol panel operation is  described in detail in the  'Climate  Control Systems'  section of the  VSM.

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.

Climate Control Systems 
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.
