Vehicle Dynamic Suspension - Vehicle Dynamic Suspension
Diagn
osis and Testing
Refer to the PDU User Guide for details of diagnosing and testing the Adaptive Damping System. The PDU interrogates the
ADCM directly via the K and L lines to the J1962 diagnostic socket.
The PDU will give an indication of the integrity of each electron ic and electrical component. It will indicate, for example, that
the accelerometers are not broken, but not that they functionin g correctly when the vehicle is in motion. However, it is
exceptional for an accelero meter to function incorrectly in its dynamic mode if it is proved to be functioning when static.
Basic Checks
The accele
rometers have the following ch
aracteristics. At 0g (no movement of the body) each vertical accelerometer
outputs approximately 2.5V steady voltage; the lateral acce lerometer outputs approximately 1.5V. The voltage output due
to body movement is proportional to acceleration in the acceleration axis, up to approximately 4.5V and down to
approximately 0.5V.
Before changing any component, refer to the circuit diagrams and check the cont inuity of relevant harness circuits; in some
instances, the PDU will not different iate between a faulty component an d a damaged connection or wiring.
Check the following fuses:
En
gine compartment fuse
box, fuse F5 (10A).
Engine m
anagement fuse
box, fuse F1 (20A).
Check the following ADCM input/output lines:
Sy stem erro
r output from the ADCM
to the instrument cluster.
Vehicl
e speed output from the inst
rument cluster to the ADCM.
Foo
tbrake signal to the ADCM.
Check any relevant connections to confirm that the connection is electrically sound and that a terminal pin has not been
pushed back into the connector shell, ie. not ma king a connection to its mating pin or socket.

Parts List
Description
The
type 14 HU final drive assembly is a hypoid unit with th
e pinion arranged on the cross-car centerline. The driveshaft
coupling utilizes a cassette type pinion oil seal, which is an in tegral part of the pinion flange. This type of seal cannot be
separated from the pinion fl ange and therefore may only be renewed as a complete seal / flange assembly
The axle shafts are driven by the output flanges which rotate on sealed bearings , these assemblies being retained in the
final drive unit by circlips.

The brake
control modulator comprises:
a A
BS/TCCM
a h
ydraulic control unit,
an electrically driven hydrau
lic pump,
two low pressure accumulato
rs and damping chambers.
ABS/TCCM
The AB
S/TCCM is integrated with the hydrau
lic control unit. It houses the solenoids that operate the hydraulic control unit's
input and return valves; the valve stems locate into the ABS/TCCM's solenoids. There is no electrical connection between
the ABS/TCCM and the hydraulic control unit.
The ABS/TCCM constantly monitors the brake electronic system by passing self-checking electrical pulses around the circuit.
The self check procedures carried-out by the ABS/TCCM are listed below:
1. 1. Monitoring of the operating voltage: the control mo dule will shut-down should the voltages not be
(approximately) in the range of 9 to 19V.
2. 2. The pump is monitored for volt age supply and voltage feedback.
3. 3. Monitoring for disturbance, where a failure may be caus ed by external radio frequency interference, internal
leakage current, defective valve transistor or a faulty valve.
4. 4. Internal controller failure, de tected by a RAM and ROM test.
5. 5. The controller area network (CAN) micr o-controller checks for correct operation of the communication network
and performs a RAM self-check.
CAUTION: Disconnection of ABS/TCCM connectors may introduce other fault codes. Following rectification and
reconnection, ensure that no induced codes exist.
5.
Signals processed by the ABS/TCCM are also sent to the CAN for vehicle use, such as the instrument cluster speed display,
cruise control and stability/traction control.
Hydraulic Control Unit
Control of
the fluid pressure to
the front and rear brakes is by means of the valves contained in the hydraulic control unit.
The valves are operated by solenoids housed in the ABS/TCCM.
Hydraulic Pump
The
hydraulic pump is integrated
with the hydraulic control unit.

The positive center-feel torsion bar improves the straight ahead feel of the steering in the region where very small amounts
of hydraulic pressure, and hence re action pressure, are generated.
The torsion bar assembly forms part of the hydraulic control valve assembly , and includes an axially pre-loaded metal
bellows spring, which is arranged co-axially with the torsion bar. The torsion bar is positively connected between the end
piece and the input shaft. One end of the bellows spring is attached to the input shaft, while the other end is attached to a
centering device. The centering device has two prism-shaped recesses with ca ged, guided, ball bearings arranged between
the recesses, and determines the zero-torsion position of the bellows spring.
On turning the steering wheel from the straight ahead position, the spring fo rces of the torsion bar assembly must be
overcome. Initially, the bellows spring produces substantial additional torsional resistance. However, after an angular
movement of approximately 0.2 degrees the torsional rigidity decreases and becomes similar to a conventional torsion bar.
