8.1.4 FA U1 T DIAGNOSIS 
Transmission  Control System Electrical - P 0702 (Fig. 1) 
This fault  code  is associated  with the internal relay of the  Transmission Control Module, (TCM). This relay  provides a 
means  of isolating the  electro-mechanical, controlling, solenoids from the supply,  allowing the transmission  to revert 
to a mechanical  default condition. 
The  relay and  associated  circuitry is tested once during initialization  and whenever 
a hardware reset occurs. When  the 
ignition  is first  switched on the  TCM carries  out an initialization routine. During  this routine the  processor drives the 
relay 
ON then  tests  for the  supply voltage  on the output via a feedback  path. If the supply voltage  is not  seen  within 
a  specific  time then 
a fault  is flagged  and the TCM  will run in default mode  and this fault  code  will be stored. 
A set  time  after the relay is turned  on, it is turned off and  the processor  then tests  for the supply  again. If it is still  present, 
then the  TCM will run in default mode and this fault  code will be stored. 
U: The  ignition  supply voltage  must be greater  than 8V for a fault code  to be  stored. If this  fault is permanently 
flagged,  the TCM  should  be replaced  taking care to obtain the correctly programmed variant. 
Possible causes: 
Faulty  TCM internal  relay. 
Effects: 
. MIL illuminated. 
. Transmission  warning lamp illuminated. 
. Maximum fluid pressure  applied. 
Limp home mode  applied. 
. RenewTCM.

Automatic Transmission (AJ16) 
TORQUE REDUCTION  SIGNAL - P 1780 
The diagnostic  for this signal is  based entirely on  feedback from the ECM. If the torque reduction  request is active  for 
greater  than 2 seconds,  the ECM  starts  the torque reduction fault timeout (IO seconds). If the signal returns  to the 
standby  condition  within this time,  the timeout  is reset. If the timeout  matures then the  ECM stores a fault code and 
transmits  93% on the torque signal line  and also lights the MIL  where necessary. 
The  ECM  will also initiate the torque reduction fault timeout 
if the signal  line is permanently high or  low for greater 
than 125ms. The  conditions  for resetting the timeout  and the actions  if the timeout  matures are the  same  as previously 
described  above. When the  TCM receives  the correct  indication on the torque signal  line, this fault  code  will be stored 
and 
a substitute function  will be adopted  and the warning  lamp will be illuminated.  The engine management  will send 
normal torque signal when the torque reduction signal returns  to standby or when the  ignition is reset. 
This torque reduction signal is  used during  gearshifts  to conveythe  actual amount  of retard  to be  applied  to the  ignition 
advance angle 
afterthe other  trims.  The signal idles at 17%  (or 12% if theTCM wishes  to drive the MIL  on), and changes 
to  20% at the  start  of a gearshift. This represents 0" retard. When  an amount of retard  is required, the PWM  will increase 
to  the  desired  value (between  20% and 90%)  and return  to 20%  and then  to idle  state at the end  of the  shift.

TORQUE SIGNAL MALFUNCTION - P 1781 
The torque signal  is a PWM signal  from the ECM  to the  TCM  which  conveys  information  about the actual  torque  devel- oped by the engine  in the range 0 to 510Nm. The  base  frequency is 91Hz and the  signal which is  active low should  be 
within  the range  10% to 90%  modulation.  The torque signal is monitored continuously during initialization  and oper
- ation.  If  the frequency  of the  signal is  incorrect or  the signal is out of  range, then this fault  code will be flagged.  The 
TCM  will adopt a substitute function  and the warning lamp  will be illuminated.  This fault  code  will only  be flagged if the  engine  speed is above 448 rpm.

15.2 INSTRUMENTS 
15.2.1 Introduction 
The instrument  pack is a self-contained,  removable unit, which  incorporates all the main  display gauges and  warning 
indicators that  are used  to present vehicle  condition information.  The instrument  pack is programmed during  vehicle 
build,  to match  the vehicle's  individual requirements using  'Programmable Electronic Control Units System' 
(PECUS). This is achieved  via the diagnostic  communication  line, and therefore,  should be renewed  like-for-like.  The primary 
function  of the instrument display is  to provide the driver  with information  usual to normal  driving requirements.  The 
secondary  function is to  display  trip computer information. 
The  trip computer functions  are selected via the  steering  column stalk switch 
(LH). The messages are  displayed in the 
following  order: 
Odometer 
- Distance - Range - Fuel  Used -Average  Fuel -Average Speed - Instant Fuel - Odometer  (return). 
Two  trip computer  switches, 'Reset' and 'Odo',  are incorporated  into the facia  switch  panel. 
Instrument  pack information  is received from sensors  positioned 
at various locations  about the vehicle  (Fig. 1, follow- 
ing  page)  via one  of the  two  multi-pin sockets  located at the rear  of the instrument  pack. 
Information concerning  vehicle condition  and operation is  displayed in one  of three  ways: 
0 Information  necessary to confirm  normal vehicle operation:  road speed,  engine  speed, oil pressure,  battery 
condition, fuel  level, coolant  temperature.  This  information is displayed  using analogue  gauges. 
0 Information indicating the  presence of a hazard/fault condition (low oil pressure/door open  etc.) or operational 
action (indicator flashing / headlamp  full beam  'on'  etc.).  This information  is provided by twenty  two warning 
lampsltell-tales, arranged  in four  groups;  two groups of  seven at the left and  right  sides  of the instrument  pack 
and  two  groups  of four 
at the  bottom  of the instrument  pack. 
0 A Liquid  Crystal  Display  (LCD) is located at the  bottom-centre of the instrument  pack and is  normally  used to 
display the  odometer reading, but it can also  be used  to display  SRS fault conditions  and trip computer informa- 
tion  such  as vehicle  speed, fuel usage  and distance  travelled.

15.2.4 PRIMARY  WARNING  LAMPS - ILLUMINATED RED 
15.2.4.1  Exhaust Temperature (Japan only) 
The exhaust  temperature input  (pin 23,48 way connector) is provided  by the  catalyst  switching module  (pin 6), which 
pulls the line  low when a fault  occurs. 
15.2.4.2  Low Oil Pressure 
This signal  comes  direct from the variable  resistance type oil pressure  sensor. The sensor  resistancevalues range  from 
7552  to 310Q. 
15.2.4.3 Seat Selt 
The seat  belt input  (pin 15,48 way connector) is provided by the  seat belt stalk switch,  via the body  processor unit 
(pin 26). 
The  seat  belt lamp  will illuminate  when 
a low signal is seen  on the  instrument  pack input. 
15.2.4.4  Trunk Lid Open 
A microswitch  located in the trunk  lid lock  provides a signal  (pin 16,4&wayconnector) causing the  trunk lid open  indi- cator to illuminate  whenever the trunk lid is opened or  not closed correctly. 
The  trunk  lid open  indicator  will illuminate when 
a low signal  is seen  on the instrument  pack input. 
15.2.4.5  Door  Ajar 
Switches located in each  door closing  mechanism supply signals  to indicate  when any door  is either  open, or has  not 
been  closed correctly.  The system  operates  from two signals;  an input  from the driver's  door (pin 46, 48-way  con- nector) or a combined  signal input from the passenger  doors (pin 47,4&way connector). 
The  door  ajar lamp  will illuminate  when 
a low signal  is detected on either  of the two inputs.

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.

15.3.2.5 Throttle Linkage and  Bellows 
The throttle  linkage and bellows  are located adjacent  to the  throttle body (below  supercharger, where fitted) on 6cylin- 
der vehicles,  or centrally  below the  injector cover on 12 cylinder  vehicles.  The  bellows expand I contract according 
to  the  pressure  drop created  by the  pump I control  valve module, causing  the linkage  to act  upon  the throttle  body, 
controlling  vehicle speed. 
15.3.2.6 
The brake and  clutch pedal switches are  mounted below  the relevant  foot pedals.  Operation  of a pedal, causes  subse- quent switch operation, either  interrupting the+12Vsupplytothe pneumaticcircuit,  orsignalling tothe SC CMto disen- gage speed control, causing  the dump  valve to open and vent the  system, returning  speed control  to the  driver.

15.3.2.7  Speed Control  Selection  Switches 
. Paddle Switch;  comprises the on, off and  resume 1 cancel switches. 
0 ON;  movement of  the paddle towards the  driver turns the  system on and  illuminates  the 'ON'  indicator. 
0 RESUME;  momentary movement  of the  paddle  towards the  driver, when speed  control  has been disabled,  (but 
not  switched off) activates  the 'resume'  facility causing  vehicle speed  to revert  to the  previous  set value. 
0 CANCEL;  momentary  operation of the  paddle  towards  the driver,  while speed  control  is operating,  disengages 
the  system  (but does  not turn it off). 
0 OFF;  movement  of the  paddle  away from the driver  turns the system off and extinguishes  the 'ON'  indicator. 
. Set Button;  sets the required controlled  vehicle speed when initially  operated  momentarily  ie before  control  system 
is  active.  Prolonged  pressure on the  set button,  when speed  control  is active,causes actual vehiclespeed  to increase 
until  the required  controlled speed is achieved.  A momentary  operation of the button, when  speed control  is active, 
increases vehicle speed  at the rate  of 1 mile 
/ hour  per operation
