REAR SUSPENSION
64-22 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Off-road mode (ORM)
ORM is used to raise the rear of the vehicle from normal ride height to the ORM ride height of 100 mm between the
tip of the bump stop and the axle.
ORM is activated by depressing the ORM switch located on the fascia for not less than 0.5 seconds. With the engine
running, all doors closed and the vehicle speed below 18 mph (30 km/h), the audible warning will sound once and the
ORM warning lamp in the instrument pack will start to flash when the switch is released. The compressor will be
started and the air control valves will be energised by the ECU to inflate the air springs and raise the rear of the vehicle.
When the full ORM height is reached, the ECU will terminate compressor operation and close the air valves. The ORM
warning lamp will stop flashing and remain continuously illuminated to inform the driver that the SLS system is in ORM.
When ORM is no longer required, depressing the ORM switch for not less than 0.5 seconds with all doors closed will
lower the SLS to normal ride height. The audible warning will sound once and the ORM warning lamp will flash as the
suspension lowers. The ECU energises the air control valves and the exhaust valve to release air pressure from the
air springs. When standard ride height is reached the ORM warning lamp will extinguish and the ECU will de-energise
the air control valves and the exhaust valve solenoids.
If the SLS is in ORM and the vehicle speed exceeds 18 mph (30 km/h), the ECU will lower the SLS to standard ride
height. The driver will be informed of this by an audible warning and the ORM warning lamp flashing as the suspension
lowers. When normal ride height is achieved, the ORM warning lamp will extinguish.
At sea level, the time to change the SLS from normal ride height to ORM or visa versa will take between 15 and 20
seconds.
If the ECU determines that conditions are not correct for SLS operation, i.e.; axle articulation or system fault, the
audible warning will sound three times to inform the driver that the ORM request has not been granted.
Extended mode
The extended mode is automatically operated by the ECU and requires no input from the driver. Extended mode
operates when the chassis is grounded causing the rear wheels to spin. This information is generated by the ABS
function of the SLABS ECU.
When the ECU senses that the chassis is grounded and the vehicle speed is less than 6 mph (10 km/h), the ECU will
operate the compressor and energise the air control valves for 25 seconds to raise the rear of the vehicle. This
operates irrespective of the mode that the SLS system is in at that time. To inform the driver, the ORM warning lamp
will flash continuously at all times that the system is in extended mode.
The driver can exit the extended mode by depressing the ORM switch for not less than 0.5 seconds or by exceeding
8 mph (13 km/h).
Remote handset SLS control
The remote handset is an accessory item which allows the SLS to be operated between normal ride height and bump
stop height to allow easier connection and disconnection of trailers. The remote handset is similar in appearance to
that of the remote door locking handset but does not have an integral key. A circular button with an arrow is used to
raise the SLS and an oval button with the 'Land Rover' logo is used to lower the SLS.
The remote handset control requires all doors to be closed and the ignition to be in position II, but the engine does
not need to be running.
Pressing the lower button will signal the SLABS ECU, via the RF receiver and the BCU, to energise the exhaust valve
and air control valves. The SLS will lower up to 60 mm (2.36 in) below normal ride height if the button is held. If the
button is released the SLS will stop at that point.
Pressing the raise button will signal the SLABS ECU, via the RF receiver and the BCU, to start the compressor and
energise the exhaust valve and air control valves. The SLS will raise to normal ride height if the button is held. If the
button is released the SLS will stop at that point.
When raising or lowering the SLS using the remote handset, the SLS warning lamp will flash and the audible warning
will sound when the system is operating. When the SLS is fully lowered the warning lamp will stay illuminated. The
SLS will reset to normal ride height if the vehicle speed exceeds 3 mph (5 km/h) for 10 seconds when the SLS is
lowered.

REAR SUSPENSION
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 64-23
Transportation mode
Transportation mode must be used when the vehicle is transported on a trailer and secured by the chassis. The
transportation mode can only be enabled and disabled with TestBook.
The transportation mode lowers the rear suspension onto the bump stops with the engine not running. When the
suspension is in transportation mode, the SLS warning lamp is continuously illuminated when the ignition is in position
II.
When the engine is started in transportation mode, the SLS system will raise the rear suspension until a gap of 25
mm (1 in.) exists between the bump stop and the axle. The SLS warning lamp will flash continuously while the SLS
system is raising the suspension. When the gap between the bump stop and the axle is achieved, the warning lamp
will illuminate continuously.
When TestBook is used to disable the transportation mode, the rear suspension will raise to normal ride height when
the engine is running.

HEATING AND VENTILATION
80-14DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Coolant temperature control
When the ECU first enters the active mode, it initiates a start to full load combustion. Full load combustion continues
until the heat exchanger casing temperature reaches 60 °C (140 °F), when the ECU decreases the speed of the FBH
fuel pump and the combustion air fan to half speed, to produce part load combustion. The ECU maintains part load
combustion while the heat exchanger casing temperature remains between 54 and 65 °C (129 and 149 °F). If the heat
exchanger casing temperature decreases to 54 °C (129 °F), the ECU switches the system to full load combustion
again. If the heat exchanger casing temperature increases to 65 °C (149 °F), the ECU enters a control idle phase of
operation.
On entering the control idle phase, the ECU immediately switches the FBH fuel pump off, to stop combustion, and
starts a timer for the combustion air fan. After a 2 minute cooldown period, the ECU switches the combustion air fan
off and then remains in the control idle phase while the heat exchanger casing temperature remains above 59 °C (138
°F). If the heat exchanger casing temperature decreases to 59 °C (138 °F), within 15 minutes of the ECU entering the
control idle phase, the ECU initiates a start to part load combustion. If more than 15 minutes elapse before the heat
exchanger casing temperature decreases to 59 °C (138 °F), the ECU initiates a start to full load combustion.
In order to limit the build-up of carbon deposits on the glow plug/flame sensor, the ECU also enters the control idle
phase if the continuous part and/or full load combustion time exceeds 72 minutes. After the cooldown period, if the
heat exchanger casing is still in the temperature range that requires additional heat, the ECU initiates an immediate
restart to part or full load combustion, as appropriate.
Shutdown
The FBH system is de-activated when the alternator power supply to the FBH unit is disconnected, either by the
engine stopping or, if the ambient temperature increases to 5 °C (41 °F) or above, by the contacts in the air
temperature sensor opening. If the system is active when the alternator power supply is disconnected, the ECU de-
energises the FBH fuel pump to stop combustion, but continues operation of the combustion air fan and the circulation
pump to cool down the FBH unit. The cool down time depends on the combustion load at the time the alternator power
input is disconnected.
Cool down times
Diagnostics
The ECU in the FBH unit monitors the system for faults. Any faults detected are stored in a volatile memory in the the
ECU, which can be interrogated by Testbook. A maximum of three faults and associated freeze frame data can be
stored at any one time. If a further fault is detected, the oldest fault is overwritten by the new fault.
The ECU also incorporates an error lockout mode of operation that inhibits system operation to prevent serious faults
from causing further damage to the system. In the error lockout mode, the ECU immediately stops the FBH fuel pump,
and stops the combustion air fan and circulation pump after a cool down time of approximately 2 minutes. Error lockout
occurs for start sequence failures and/or combustion flameouts, heat exchanger casing overheat and out of limit input
voltage. The error lockout mode can be cleared using Testbook, or by disconnecting the battery power supply for a
minimum of 10 seconds.
Start failure/flameout. If a start sequence fails to establish combustion, or a flameout occurs after combustion is
established, the ECU immediately initiates another start sequence. The start failure or flameout is also recorded by
an event timer in the ECU. The event timer is increased by one after each start failure or flameout, and decreased by
one if a subsequent start is successful. If the event timer increases to three (over any number of drive cycles), the
ECU enters the error lockout mode.
Heat exchanger casing overheat. To protect the system from excessive temperatures, the ECU enters the error
lockout mode if the heat exchanger casing temperature exceeds 105 °C (221 °F).
Out of limit voltage. The ECU enters the error lockout mode if the battery or alternator power input is less than 10.5 ±
0.3 V for more than 20 seconds, or more than 15.5 ± 0.5 V for more than 6 seconds.

WIPERS AND WASHERS
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 84-19
Rear wash
Rear wash will only operate when the following conditions are met:
lIgnition switch is in position II.
lRear wash switch operated.
Operating the rear washer switch for longer than 0.4 second allows the rear washer pump motor and rear wipers to
run as long as the switch is held. The wipers run for 4 seconds after the rear washer switch is released. Flicking the
rear washer switch energises the rear washer pump motor for 0.4 second.
The rear washer operation has a higher priority than the intermittent wipe operation. If the intermittent wipe is active
when a rear washer operation is initiated, the wash cycle executes and the intermittent wipe is re-instated at the end
of the washer operation.
Wiper park switch
The park switch allows the wipers to come to rest in the park position when the wipe switch is turned off in mid-wipe.
The park switch consists of a positive and a negative contact. These two contacts are described as closed at park
and closed when operating. When the wipers first start, the park switch is in the closed at park position. A relay
controls battery voltage to the motor. Battery voltage passes through this relay contact to move the wiper motor from
the park position.
When the motor moves, the park switch moves to the closed when operating position. Battery voltage to this relay
contact is direct from fuse 19. Battery voltage passes through this contact to keep the wiper motor running. The wiper
motor operates for one complete revolution until the park switch moves to the closed at park position again.
Switching off the wipers removes battery voltage from the closed at park contact. When the wipers reach the closed
at park switch an earth is applied and the motor stops abruptly.
Headlamp power wash
Headlamp power wash activates when the following conditions are met:
lIgnition switch in position II.
lHeadlamps switched on.
lFront wash switch operated.
lBCU counter allows headlamp power wash.
Operating the front washer switch with the headlamps switched on energises the IDM, supplying a voltage to the
headlamp powerwash relay, which operates the headlamp powerwash pump and increments a counter within the
BCU. This counter prevents the headlamp powerwash pump from operating every time the front washer switch is
activated. Headlamp powerwash is only operational every third front wash cycle, providing the headlamps are on.
The counter resets when the ignition switch is turned off.
When the BCU permits headlamp power wash operation, the pump motor operates only for 0.5 second.
