Brakes (a)
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.
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.

Both front and rear brakes on all vehicles are fitted with
single piston caliper assemblies that act upon 28mm thick
ventilated brake rotors (front brakes) and 20mm thickventi- lated brake rotors/hubs (rear brakes). Rear ventilated brake rotordhubs are fitted to cope with the increased demands- brought about by traction control.
The brake rotors must be renewed
whenthe minimumthick- ness specified below is reached:
0 Front brake rotor - 27mm
0 Rear brake rotor - 18.5mm.
On the front brakes (Fig. 1) two bolts secure the caliper
carrier to the suspension vertical link.
On the rear brakes (Fig. 2) two bolts (wire locked) secure the
caliper carrier to the hub carrier.

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.
