1994 JAGUAR XJ6 wheel

The input frequency from each wheel speed sensor signal is translated by the ABS I TC CM, into a comparable wheel
speed. The ABS / TC CM continually monitors the system. False wheel speed information, such as sudden speed
changes in excess of 20 km / h or excessive speeds, are detected as a 'sensor malfunction'. The ABS / TC CM reacts
to fault conditions in the following ways:
Inhibit- ABS/traction control is inhibited until the sensed speed returns to within an acceptable limit, whereupon ABS
/traction control is restored. Conventional braking is unaffected. Depending on vehicle speed the ABS/traction control
warning lights may come on.
DisaMe - ABS /traction control is Disabled (switched off) and the ABS /traction control warning lights come on. The
system will not be restored until the engine is switched off and restarted orthe fault has been rectified. Afterthe system
has been disabled, the warning lamps remain on until the vehicle has reached a speed of 20 km/ h during thefirst igni- tion cycle after fault rectification.
Full diagnostic information for the ABS /TC
CM is given in the Electrical Diagnostic Manual (EDM), Section 12.

12.1.2. Anti-lock Braking / Traction Control Operation
The rear wheels are controlled collectively on a 'select-low' principle during ABS operation. During traction control,
separate circuits allow individual control of the rear wheels. To facilitate this the valve block has four outlet ports.
The
ABS/TC CM is integrated with the valve block. The pump, motor, valve block and control module are supplied as
a unit and are non-sewiceable. Faulty units must be renewed as a whole.
Both front and rear brakes on
all vehicles are fitted with single piston caliper assemblies. Ventilated brake rotors, with
provision for parking brake shoes at the rear, are fitted all round.

Fig. 1 ABS / Traction Control System
The vacuum booster (see Fig.
1) is mounted on the brake pedal box and secured by three bolts. Brake pedal force is
increased by the vacuum booster which activates the Tandem Master Cylinder (TMC) intermediate piston. Brake fluid
is supplied to the pump inlet ports on two separate circuits. The primary circuit supplies the front brakes whilst the
secondary circuit supplies the rear brakes.

Pressure conscious reduction valves (PCRVs) are fitted between the outlet of the valve block and the rear brake circuit
to optimize. The valves are fitted to prevent over braking due to the increased size of the rear brake calipers which are
required for traction control. Up to a threshold of 15 bar, brake pressure to the front and rear brakes is equal. Above
15 bar the PCRVs reduce pressure to the rear brakes to provide a closer balance between front and rear brakes and
optimize road adhesion.
Wheel speed sensors are fitted to all wheels to transmit wheel speed information to the control module. The module
uses this information to modulate brake pressure during anti
-lock braking or traction control.

Fig. 1 Brake System (non-Traction Control)
The rear brakes (see Fig. 1) are controlled collectively on a
'select-low' principle. Under ABS braking conditions, equal
brake pressure is applied to both rear calipers, although only one wheel may have a tendency to lock.
The valve block has three outlet
ports, Brake fluid volume is supplied equally to the rear brakes via the %way brake
pipe connector.

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.

All vehicles are fitted with identical parking brake systems.
When the parking brake lever
is operated, the cable system applies equal force to both RH and LH brakeshoe expander
assemblies. The brake shoes expand and press against the hub assembly, locking the rear wheels.
The handbrake lever, ratchet assembly and warning
light switch (item 1) are mounted on the transmission tunnel by means of threeflanged screws a blanking plate and gasket. The front cable (item 2) is connected to the relay lever (item 3) which is mounted on the driveshaft securing bracket (item 4). The relay lever operates the intermediate cable (item 5) which incorporates an adjusting screw to allow cable tension to be adjusted. The intermediate cable operates the
equalizer which ensures that equal force is applied to RH and LH parking brakesvia rearcable RH (item 8) and rear cable
LH (item 9). The rear cables are adjustable to allow cable tension to be adjusted.
The park brake switch (item 10) latches when the lever
is operated and lights the parking brake warning light (item 11 mounted in the instrument panel.

12.1.8. Wheel Speed Sensors
A toothed wheel, which turns with the road wheel, induces an ac voltage signal in the wheel speed sensor. The fre-
quency and amplitude of the ac voltage varies directly in relation to wheel speed, providing the control module with
wheel speed information. Wheel speed sensors are fitted to each road wheel.

Should the ABS be initiated by a locking tendency of any wheel during braking, the pump unit (item 8) is started and
the appropriate NO inlet valve (item 14, 15 or 16) closes in response to signals from the control module. This action
prevents further increase of brake pressure by blocking the supply of brake fluid from the TMC (item 3). If excessive
deceleration continues, the appropriate NC outlet valves (item 17,18 or 19) opens, releasing brake pressure to the low
pressure accumulators (item 9) until the wheel accelerates again.

12.1.1 0 Hydrauric Operation - ABS 1 TC CM
ABS/TC CM hydraulic modules incorporate inlet valves (items 16 and 17) and outlet valves (items 20 and 21) for each
driven wheel. This enables individual pressure modulation to the rear brakes under wheel spin conditions, i.e. traction
control.
Increased wheel spin of
a driven wheel under acceleration causes the NO isolation valve (item 14) to be closed and the
pump (item 10) to be switched on. This in response to signals from the control module.
Closing of the isolation valve blocks delivery of the pump to the secondary circuit (item
2) of the TMC. The pump now
draws fluid from the reservoir via the open hydraulically operated inlet valve (item 13). Increased pressure is now avail-
able at the inlet valves (items 16 and 17) for actuating the rear brakes, thus decreasing the tendency of wheel spin.
The hydraulic inlet valve (item
13) switches when traction control is initiated to change the suction connection
of the pump from the accumulators (item 9) to the fluid reservoir (item 6) via the TMC.
