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.
Brake System - General Inform

iagnosis and Testing
Principles of Operations
The brake system operates by transferring effort applied to th e brake pedal, by the driver to the brakes at each wheel.
The braking effort is distributed to each wheel, using a hydraulic system. The system is assisted using a vacuum brake
booster that reduces pedal effort for a given hydraulic pressure. The parking brake operates on the rear wheels and is
applied using a hand operated control.
I
nspection and Verification
•
NOTE: Prior to carrying out any diagno
sis, make sure that the brake system warning indicator is functional.
Visually examine the front and rear tire and wheel assemblies for damage such as un even wear patterns, tread worn out or
sidewall damage. Verify the tires are th e same size, type and, where possible, same manufacture. Replace the damaged
wheel or excessively worn tire. For a dditional information, refer toSection 204
-0
4 Wheels and Tires
.
W
heels and tires must be cleared of an
y foreign matter and tire pressures ad justed to the correct specification.
If the tires exhibit uneven wear or feathering, the cause must be corrected. Check the steering and suspension components
for damage or wear and, if ne cessary, check and adjust front wheel alignment. For additional information, refer toSection

Road Test
V
isual Inspection Chart
Carr
y out a road test to compare actual vehicle braking performance with the
performance standards expected by the
driver. The ability of the test driver to make valid compar isons and detect performance deficiencies will depend on
experience.
The driver should have a thorough knowledge of brake system operation and accepted general performance guidelines to
make good comparisons and de tect performance concerns.
An experienced brake technician will always establish a route that will be used for all br ake diagnosis road tests. The roads
selected will be reasonably smooth and level. Gravel or bump y roads are not suitable because the surface does not allow the
tires to grip the road equally. Crowned roads should be avoide d because of the large amount of weight shifted to the low set
of wheels on this type of road. Once th e route is established and consistently used, the road surface variable can be
eliminated from the test results.
Before a road test, obtain a complete description of the customer concerns or suspec ted condition. From the description, the
technician's experience will allow the te chnician to match possible causes with symptoms. Certain components will be
tagged as possible suspects while others wi ll be eliminated by the evidence. More importantly, the customer description can
reveal unsafe conditions which should be ch ecked or corrected before the road test. The description will also help form the
basic approach to the road test by narrowing the concern to specific components, vehicle speed or conditions.
Begin the road test with a general brake performance check. Keeping the description of the concern in mind, test the brakes
at different vehicle speeds using both ligh t and heavy pedal pressure. To determine if the concern is in the front or rear
braking system, use the brake pe dal and then use the parking brake control. If the condition (pull, vibration, pulsation)
