Emergency Running (elect ronic limp-home mode)
The TCM constantly monitors the transmissi on for faults. In the event of a problem the TCM will adopt the limp-home mode, in which the gear currently held remains engaged, until P is selected. The modulati ng and shift pressures will increase to
maximum and converter lock-up will be inhibited.
Following the selection of P , the only ratios available will be 2 (irrespective of forward ratio manual selection) and R .
With the vehicle at rest, the procedure to manually select is as follows:

Transmission/Transaxle Cooling - 4.0L NA V8 - AJ27/3.2L NA V8 - AJ26 -
Transmission Cooling
Description and Operation
The transmission fluid cooling system maintains fluid temperature within specified limits.

Parts List
Component Descriptions
The transmission fluid pipes:
Transfer fluid from the transmission to the cooler under the action of the hydraulic system pump. Return the cooled fluid from th e cooler to the transmission.
The transmission fluid cooler:
Is a plate type made from aluminum. Is mounted in the engi ne cooling radiator right-hand end tank.
Overheating Protection
If the engine coolant or transm ission fluid temperatures exceed their predefined limits, th e transmission control module locks
the torque converter clutch. By reducing slip, this minimises th e amount of heat transferred to the engine cooling system from
the transmission fluid.

ItemPart NumberDescription

2—Fluid pipe, oil TO cooler

Transmission/Transaxle Cooling - 4.0L SC V8 - AJ26 - Transmission
Cooling
Description and Operation
The transmission fluid cooling system maintains the fluid temperature within specified limits. The cooling element is located
in the engine cooling radiator LH end tank.
Fluid is circulated, under pressure, by the transmission pump to the cooler.
General Layout

Overheating Protection
If the engine coolant or transmission fluid temperatures exceed their predefined limits, the transmission control module
locks the torque converter clutch . By reducing slip, this minimises the amount of heat transferred to the engine cooling
system from the transmission fluid.

Parts List
The heater circuit 'scavenges' coolant from the engine cooling system by mean s of an electric water pump. The water pump
has a protection circuit to inhibit operation when the coolant temperature is <16°C; this is to prevent possible damage to
the impeller due to the presence of coolant borne ice particles. Coolant is drawn from the en gine system through the water
valve inlet port into the heater matrix. The coolant passes thro ugh the bottom section of the heater matrix from left to right
filling the end tank of the matrix before returning through the top half of the ma trix and through the outlet ports of the
water valve and back into the engine cooling system.
Non return valves are located in the heat er bypass hose and the hose between the water pump and valve. These valves are
required to prevent coolant flowing in th e wrong direction at low engine speeds and restrict convected flow through the
heater after the engine is switched off.
When the exterior ambient temperature is > 0°C the refrigerat ion system automatically operates cooling and dehumidifying
incoming air before it is re -heated by the heater matrix.
Water Valve Assembly
Location
The water valve assembly is located above the water pump, in the engine compartmen t and is secured to the firewall by a
bracket. The valve operates by means of an electrical solenoid which oscillates the valve stem between the inlet and outlet
ports.
When in automatic mode, the water valve duty cycle is influenced by the following inputs to the A/CCM:
Outlet air temperature 'Air off' heater matrix temperature External ambient Coolant temperature
ItemPart NumberDescription
1—Assembly pump - water
2—Hose - from header tank
3—Hose / connector - return to engine
4—Hose - heater feed to matrix
5—Valve - non return (by-pass)
6—Hose / connector - feed from engine
7—Hose - heater return from matrix
8—Assembly valve - water
9—Valve - non return

Engine speed (valve closed with the engine not running) Demand (set) temperature In-car temperature sensor Solar sensor
Re-heating of the refrigerated air is contro lled by the time that the water valve is open (i.e. not energised) over a six secon d
interval. The duty cycle of the water valve, the time open / time closed, is controlled by the A/CCM.
Maximum heating demand will cause the water valve to be fu lly open (not energised) to allow maximum coolant flow
through the heater matrix.
At Maximum cooling, the water va lve will be fully closed (energised) to prevent hot (engine temperature) coolant entering
the heater circuit; the pump however will continue to circulate coolant through both the heater matrix and water valve
bypass.
The water valve defaults open when the ignition is OFF.
Under engine stall conditions, when ignition is ON, the water valve will be open.
Water Pump Assembly
Located in the same area as the water valve, the water pump continually circulates coolant through the heater matrix
except when the conditions below apply:
The engine coolant is below 16°C. The ignition is OFF. Under engine stall conditions, when ignition is ON. Control panel OFF
Non return valves
The heater bypass hose has a non-return valve, located between the engine feed and return hoses. The valve prevents the
water pump from recirculating coolant fro m the heater at low engine speeds.
The flow indicator arrow embossed on the valve bo dy MUST point towards the coolant header tank.
CAUTION: Coolant flow will be compromi sed if either valve is fitted incorrectly. Observe the correct direction.
A second non-return valve is located betw een the water pump and water valve. This valve prevents hot coolant from flowing
into the heater with the engine switched off. The flow indicator arrow MUST point towards the water pump.
Heater feed and return hoses
The heater feed and return hoses are connected to the engine feed and return hoses by 'Quick-Fit' connection unions. The
feed hose has a Norma R20 connector and the return hose a Norma push and seal connector. The coolant system bleed
joints have Cobra clamps. All remaining hose connections have spring band hose clamps.
The engine feed hose is connected to the engine bypass hous ing and the engine return hose is connected to the engine
water pump.

Control Components - Control Components
Description and Operation
System Controls
The climate control system is controlled by : 1. 1. Manual input from the operator, via the center console located control panel.
2. 2. Automatically by means of the A/CCM.
Output is based upon input from the following devices:
Motorized In-car aspirator External air temperature sensor Coolant temperature sensor Heater 'air-off' (the temperature of the air leaving the matrix fins) temperature sensor Evaporator 'air-off' (the temperature of the air leaving the evaporator fins) temperature sensor Solar sensor Left hand blower recirculation / fresh air flap potentiometer Right hand blower recirculation / fresh air flap potentiometer Upper air distribution box (ADB) center and side face flap servomotor potentiometer ADB defrost flap servomotor potentiometer Air conditioning unit Foot flap servomotor potentiometer Air conditioning unit Cool Air Bypass flap servomotor potentiometer Thumbwheel controls on the facia vent assemblies which provide manu al adjustment of the airflow volume. Road and engine speed signals input to the A/CCM
Climate Control Panel
Communication between the control panel and the A/CCM is via a serial data communications link.

Switching the Climate Control system ON
The climate control system can be switched ON by pressing one of the following :
Ref #1 On / Off (resumes the system on in the previous settings).
Ref #10 A / C (resumes the system on in the previous settings).
Ref #11 AUTO (resumes the system on at the previous temperature setting).
