2.2 VEHICLE RECOVERY
8 2.2.1 General
m: Prior to vehicle recovery, always ensure the vehicle
keys are available and the vehicle security system is
'OFF'.
The safest and preferred method of vehicle recovery is by
flat bed transporter, although a rear suspended tow may
also be used.
The front and rear towing eyes are provided for use only in
an emergency to move the vehicle
if it is causing an
obstruction, on police instructions, or, when winching the
vehicle onto a recovery transporter.
m: A towing shackle cannot be fastened to the front
towing eye until the grille vane has been removed.
To do this, remove the (three) quarter
-turn fasteners
securing the grille vane (Fig. I), and place the vane
safely to one side. The towing shackle may now be
secured to the towing eye.
0 When thevehicle is being towed (see Towing Recovery), the
gear lever must be set to neutral, 'N' (see Gear-shift Inter- lock) and the ignition key turned to position 'II'to release the
steering lockand renderthe indicators, horn and brake lights
operational.
2.2.2 Gear-shift Interlock
The gear selector lever may only be moved from the park 'F" position by turning the ignition key to position '11' on the key
switch and applying pressure to the footbrake pedal.
To remove the ignition key from the key switch, the gear
selector lever must be moved to park
'P. With the key removed, the gear selector lever will be locked
in park
'P'.
2.2.3
In the event of electrical failure or when moving the vehicle
without power, the gear selector lever can be manually
unlocked from park
'P'. Below the left-hand side of the 'J' gate (Fig. Z), is the gear- shift interlock manual release catch. With a flat bladed
screwdriver, remove the plug, arrowed (Fig. 2). Insert
ignition key and press down catch whilst simultaneously
moving the gear
-shift lever from 'P' position.
Gear-shift Interlock - Manual Override
U: Gear-shift lever can only be moved approximately
25mm with the key still inserted.
Remove key and replace plug. Fig.

2.2.4 Transporting
If thevehicle is being transported on a trailer or flatbed transporter (Fig. I), the handbrake must be applied, the wheels
chocked and if fitted with an automatic transmission, the gear selector lever moved to neutral, 'N' (see Gear-shift
Interlock).

CAUTION: Do not select 'P' because the parking lock mechanism may be damaged by the continuous slight forward
and backward movement of the vehicle on the transporter.
There are four tie-down brackets on the vehicle underbody. Do not attach the tie down hooks of the transporter to the
towing eyes of the vehicle.

0 Oil Leak
Leakage is the condition in which the entire damper body is covered with oil and from where
it will drip on to
the pavement. Due to correct damper lubrication a light film of oil (weepage) can usually be seen on the upper
portion of the damper.
Should there be any leakage, ensure that the fluid does not originate from sources other than the front damper.
Renew worn or damaged dampers.
0 Vehicle Sag
Renewing front dampers will not correct the problem of vehicle sag, as basically this is controlled by the spring
units.

12.1 ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ASS), GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The anti-lock braking system (ABS) components are combined with a hydraulic booster and tandem master cylinder (TMC) to provide a two-circuit braking system. The anti-lock braking system comprises the following components:
0 Four inductive wheel speed sensors, hub end mounted
0 ABS warning light
0 Hydraulic module.
The hydraulic module consists of an electric motor driven pump,
two low pressure accumulators, valve block and an
ABS electronic control module.
m: Electronic control modules for vehicles without traction control are designated ABS CM. Control modules for
vehicles with traction control are designated ABS /TC CM.
The valve block houses solenoid operated valves which are activated by voltage signals from the control module. The
signals are generated using wheel speed information received from the wheel speed sensors.
For vehicles without traction control the valves operate on three circuits, two front and one rear, as necessary to pre
- vent wheel locking during braking. Brake pressure is modulated individually at thefront wheels and collectively at the
rear. Rear wheel control operates on a 'select low' principle i.e. locking in either wheel is sensed, and controlled brake
pressure is applied to both wheels.
For vehicles with traction control the valves operate on four circuits. During ABS control the rear wheel are controlled
on a 'select low' principle (as above), but during traction control operation the rear wheels are controlled individually.
0
1yQfB: Functional and diagnostic information for the ABS CM and the ABS/TC CM is contained in the Electrical Diag-
nostic Manual (EDM), Section 12.
ABS Warning lamp / Traction Control Warning lamp /Fluid level Indicator
The ABS and traction control warning lamps, mounted in the instrument panel, indicate a fault in the ABS or traction
control. These systems are inhibited or disabled when the lamps are lit, although conventional braking is unaffected.
When the ignition is switched on, an ABS self test is initiated. During this test, the ABS and traction control warning
lamps are
lit for approximately 1.7 seconds and then extinguish. A fault is indicated if the warning lamps remain lit or
come on whilst the vehicle is being driven.
W: The ABS self test is masked by the 5 second lamp test initiated when the ignition is switched on.
The fluid level indicator lamp, mounted in the instrument panel, is
lit when the brake fluid falls below the minimum
mark on the brake fluid reservoir.
ABS / Traction Control - Inhibit / Disable
Faults conditions are detected by the ABS/TC CM which disables the ABS and traction control until the fault is rectified.
The ABS and traction control warning lights on the instrument pack remains lit whilst a fault exists. The system will
be disabled when the following conditions occur:
0
0 Valve failure
0 Sensor failure
0 Main driver failure (internal ABS /TC CM fault)
0 Redundancy error (internal ABS JTC CM fault)
0 Overvoltage J undervoltage
0 Pump motor failure.
0 Throttle valve actuator motor failure (traction control vehicles only).
0 Throttle valve actuator potentiometer failure (traction control warning light only).

12.1.5. ABS Components
Hydraulic Module
The hydraulic module is located under the bonnet adjacent
to the engine compartment firewall. It is secured within a steel mounting bracket at three securing points. All elec- tronic and power connections are made through one cable
loom connect ion.
The hydraulic pump
(1 Fig. 1) is a reciprocating two-circuit pump in which one brake circuit is assigned to each pump
circuit. The pump supplies adequate pressure and volume
supply to the brake circuits under anti
-lock braking condi- tions. The pump is driven by and electric motor (2 Fig. 1). The
pump housing incorporates two low pressure accumulators
and damping chambers for each brake circuit.
A modulator valve block
(3 Fig. 1) incorporates the ABS CM or ABS / TC CM (4 Fig. 1). Vehicles with traction control are
fitted with a throttle position actuator (5 Fig. I), which is an
electrical device controlled by the ABS 1 TC CM.
Valve blocks on vehicles without traction control comprise
six solenoid valves, three normally open (NO) inlet valves
and three normally closed
(NC) outlet valves. These valve
blocks have three outlet ports. Valve blocks on vehicles with
traction control comprise nine solenoid valves, four
NO inlet valves,four NC outlet valves and one special isolating valve.
Fig. 2 shows a hydraulic module for vehicles with traction
control. The valve block (2 Fig. 2) has four outlet ports (Indi- vidual control of the driven wheels).
A BS CM, A BS / TC CM
The ABS CM or ABS TCI CM locates beneath the modulator
valve block and is secured by
two screws. The CM houses
the solenoids which operate the inlet and outletvalves of the
modulator valve block. When fitted, the valve stems locate
in the
CM mounted solenoids. There is no electrical connec- tion between the CM and the modulator valve block. Fig. 3 shows an ABS TC 1 CM having nine solenoids.
The
CM functions include the following:
0 Providing control signals for the operation of ABS
and traction control solenoid valves
0 Calculating wheel speed from voltage signals trans- mitted by the wheel speed sensors
0 Monitoring of all electrical components
0 On Board Diagnostics (OBD): storage of possible fail- ures in a non-volatile memory.
The signals from the four wheel speed sensors are indepen
- dently processed by the ABS CM or ABSITC CM, calculating
numerical values which correspond directly to the wheel
speed. These values are converted into control signals for
pressure modulation during ABS control.
The ABS and traction control
are continuously monitored,
whilst the ignition is on,for possiblefaults and interruptions.
If a fault is detected, the module deactivates the ABS and
indicates this by lighting the ABS warning lamp. In a fault
condition, conventional braking is unaffected. The module
stores fault codes in a non
-volatile memory which can be
read via the OBD link.
U: For electrical diagnostic information on the ABS I traction control systems, refer to EDM, Section 12. Fia.
