The selector lever assembly consists of a lever and a cover attached to a base. The base is located on a gasket and
secured to the transmission tunnel. The lever is hinged to the base. A latch in the lever engages with detents in the
base to provide the lever positions P, R, N, D, 3, 2, 1. The latch is disengaged by pressing a release button on the
lever knob. Except for lever movement between positions D and 3, the button must be pressed before the lever can
be moved. In some markets, vehicles incorporate an interlock solenoid at the bottom of the lever, which prevents the
lever being moved from P unless the ignition switch is in position II and the foot brake is applied. If the battery
becomes flat, the interlock system will prevent selector lever movement and removal of the ignition key.
The cover incorporates lever position indicators and the mode switch. The lever position indicators illuminate to show
the position of the selector lever. Illumination is controlled by the Body Control Unit (BCU). The mode switch is a non-
latching hinged switch that, when pressed, connects an earth to the EAT ECU to request a change of mode.
An electrical connector at the rear of the cover connects the selector lever assembly to the vehicle wiring.
Selector cable
The selector cable is a Bowden type cable that connects the selector lever assembly to a selector lever on the
gearbox. 'C' clips secure the ends of the outer cable to brackets on the selector lever assembly and the selector lever.
The inner cable is adjustable at the connection of the inner cable with the gearbox selector lever.

AUTOMATIC GEARBOX - ZF4HP22 - 24
44-10 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The lock-up and brake clutches are operated by pressurised transmission fluid from the valve block in the sump. A
manual valve and four solenoid valves, also known as Motorised Valves (MV), control the supply of pressurised
transmission fluid from the valve block:
lThe manual valve controls the supply in P, R, N and D.
lSolenoid valves MV 1 and MV 2 control the supplies that operate the brake clutches for shift control.
lSolenoid valve MV 3 controls the supply that operates the lock-up clutch.
lSolenoid valve MV 4 modulates the pressure of the supplies to the brake clutches, to control shift quality.
Operation of the manual valve is controlled by the selector lever assembly. In the gearbox, a selector shaft engages
with the manual valve. The selector shaft is connected to the selector lever assembly via the selector cable and a
selector lever on the left side of the gearbox. The selector shaft also operates a mechanism that locks the output shaft
when P is selected.
Operation of the solenoid valves is controlled by the EAT ECU.
An output shaft speed sensor in the gearbox housing outputs a signal to the EAT ECU. The EAT ECU compares
output shaft speed with engine speed to determine the engaged gear, and output shaft speed with vehicle speed to
confirm the range selected on the transfer box.
A bayonet lock electrical connector in the gearbox casing, to the rear of the selector lever, connects the solenoid
valves and the output shaft speed sensor to the vehicle wiring.
A pressed steel sump encloses the valve block and collects transmission fluid draining from the gearbox housing. A
suction pipe and filter on the underside of the valve block connect to the inlet side of the fluid pump. A magnet is
installed in the sump to collect any magnetic particles that may be present. A level plug and a drain plug are installed
in the sump for servicing.
Rear extension housing
The rear extension housing provides the interface between the gearbox housing and the transfer box. A splined
extension shaft, secured to the gearbox output shaft by a bolt, transmits the drive from the gearbox to the transfer
box. A seal in the rear of the housing prevents leakage past the extension shaft. A breather pipe, attached to the left
side of the rear extension housing, ventilates the interior of the gearbox and rear extension housings to atmosphere.
The open end of the breather pipe is located in the engine compartment at the right front corner of the engine sump
on gearboxes fitted to early vehicles and is clipped to the top of the gearbox on later vehicles.
Gearbox power flows
The following Figures show the power flow through the gearbox for each forward gear when D is selected, and for
reverse. The key to the Item numbers on the Figures, and in parenthesis in the accompanying text, can be found on
the 'Sectioned view of gearbox' Figure, above.
1st Gear (D selected)
Clutches (4) and (11) are engaged. The front planet gear carrier of gear set (9) locks against the gearbox housing
through freewheel (15) when the engine powers the vehicle, and freewheels when the vehicle is coasting. Gear set
(10) rotates as a solid unit with the front planet gear carrier. In 1st gear hold brake clutch (8) is applied to provide
overrun braking.

AUTOMATIC GEARBOX - ZF4HP22 - 24
44-12 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Reverse gear
Clutches (5), (8) and (11) are engaged. The front planet gear carrier of gear set (9) is locked. Gear set (10) also rotates
as a solid block.
Gear position switch
The gear position switch outputs signals that are related to the position of the selector lever assembly. The switch is
installed on the selector shaft on the left side of the gearbox. Slotted mounting holes allow the switch to be turned
relative to the shaft for adjustment. A fly lead connects the switch to the vehicle wiring.
Movement of the selector lever assembly turns the selector shaft, which operates six pairs of contacts in the switch.
The pairs of contacts are identified as the W, X, Y, Z, Park/Neutral and Reverse contacts. When closed:
lThe W, X, Y and Z contacts output a 12V ignition supply from the BCU.
lThe Park/Neutral contacts output an earth.
lThe Reverse contacts output a 12V ignition supply from the passenger compartment fuse box.
The outputs of the W, X, Y and Z contacts are monitored by the EAT ECU and the BCU to determine the position of
the selector lever assembly.
Gear position switch W, X, Y, Z outputs
The Park/Neutral contacts output to the BCU and, on diesel models, the ECM. The Reverse contacts output to the
BCU, the reversing lamps, the SLABS ECU and, where fitted, the ACE ECU and the electrochromic interior mirror.

5Temperature sensor
Transmission fluid from the gearbox is circulated through a cooler attached to the front of the radiator. Quick release
connectors on the transmission fluid lines attach to connections on each end tank of the cooler. A temperature sensor
on the RH end tank provides the instrument pack with an input of transmission fluid temperature. If the temperature
exceeds a preset limit, the instrument pack illuminates the transmission temperature warning lamp. The warning lamp
remains illuminated until the temperature of the fluid returns within limits.
EAT ECU
The EAT ECU operates the solenoid valves in the gearbox to provide automatic control of gear shifts and torque
converter lock-up. The EAT ECU is attached to a protective bracket which is secured to the cabin floor below the LH
front seat. A 55 pin connector links the EAT ECU to the vehicle wiring.
Software in the EAT ECU monitors hard wired inputs and exchanges information with the ECM on a Controller Area
Network (CAN) bus to determine gear shift and torque converter lock-up requirements. Resultant control signals are
then output to the gearbox solenoid valves.

BRAKES
70-14 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The ABS modulator is a 4 channel unit that controls the supply of hydraulic pressure to the brakes in response to
inputs from the SLABS ECU. The modulator is attached by three mounting bushes to a bracket on the LH inner front
wing, and connected to the primary and secondary hydraulic circuits downstream of the master cylinder assembly.
Three electrical connectors link the ABS modulator to the vehicle wiring.
Passages within the ABS modulator, separated into primary and secondary circuits, connect to the various internal
components that control the supply of hydraulic pressure to the brakes:
lShuttle valves and non return valves control the flow through the internal circuits.
lShuttle valve switches, connected in series to the SLABS ECU, provide a brakes on/off signal.
lA damper chamber and restrictor are included in each circuit to refine system operation.
lInlet and outlet solenoid valves control the flow to the individual brakes.
lAn expansion chamber is connected to each circuit to absorb pressure.
lA return pump is connected to both circuits to provide a pressure source.
The ABS modulator has three operating modes: Normal braking, ABS braking and active braking.
Normal braking mode
When the brake pedal is pressed, pressurised fluid from the master cylinder assembly moves the shuttle valves to
open lines 'A' and close the shuttle valve switches. Pressurised fluid then flows through the open inlet solenoid valves
to operate the brakes. The closed shuttle valve switches supply a brakes on signal to the SLABS ECU. If the SLABS
ECU determines that EBD is necessary, it energises the inlet solenoid valves for the brakes of one axle. The inlet
solenoid valves close to isolate the brakes from any further increase in hydraulic pressure.
ABS braking mode
When in the normal braking mode, if the SLABS ECU determines that ABS braking is necessary, it energises the inlet
and outlet solenoid valves of the related brake and starts the return pump. The inlet solenoid valve closes to isolate
the brake from pressurised fluid; the outlet solenoid valve opens to release pressure from the brake into the expansion
chamber and the return pump circuit. The brake releases and the wheel begins to accelerate. The SLABS ECU then
operates the inlet and outlet solenoid valves to control the supply of hydraulic pressure to the brake and apply the
maximum braking effort (for the available traction) without locking the wheel.
Active braking mode
When ETC or HDC are enabled, and the SLABS ECU determines that active braking is necessary, it starts the return
pump. Hydraulic fluid, drawn from the reservoirs through the master cylinder, shuttle valves and lines 'B', is
pressurised by the return pump and supplied to lines 'A'. The SLABS ECU then operates the inlet and outlet solenoid
valves to control the supply of hydraulic pressure to the individual brakes and slow the wheel(s).

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 70-17
SLABS ECU
The SLABS ECU is attached to a bracket behind the front passenger glovebox. Brake related inputs are processed
by the SLABS ECU, which then outputs control signals to the ABS modulator. Five electrical connectors interface the
SLABS ECU with the vehicle wiring.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 70-19
ABS sensors
The ABS sensors supply the SLABS ECU with a sinusoidal speed signal from each wheel. An inductive sensor,
installed in the hub bearing of each wheel, senses off a 60 tooth exciter ring integrated into the inner race of the hub
bearing. Each ABS sensor has a fly-lead connecting it to the vehicle wiring.
HDC switch
The HDC switch is a latching push switch installed on the fascia, in the switchpack inboard of the steering wheel.
When pushed in, the switch connects an ignition supply to the SLABS ECU to initiate HDC.
Warning indications
The SLABS ECU operates audible and visual warnings to convey brake system status.
Audible warning
A repetitive chime, at a frequency of 2 Hz, draws attention to warning lamp indications. The chime is produced on the
speaker in the instrument pack.
Warning lamps
1ABS warning lamp
2HDC fault warning lamp
3ETC warning lamp4HDC information warning lamp
5Brake warning lamp (all except NAS)
6Brake warning lamp (NAS only)
The following brake system warning lamps can be found in the instrument pack:
lA red brake graphic (all except NAS vehicles) or red BRAKE legend (NAS vehicles), to warn of low brake fluid
level, handbrake on and brake control system failure affecting EBD.
lAn amber ABS graphic, to warn of brake control system failure affecting the ABS function.
lAn amber TC graphic, to warn of brake control system failure affecting the ETC function.
lTwo inclined vehicle graphics, one amber (fault) and one green (information), to indicate operating status of HDC
and to warn of brake control system failure affecting the HDC function.
Each warning lamp is illuminated by a separate LED. The ABS, brake and ETC warning lamps are continuously on
while illuminated; the two HDC warning lamps are either continuously on or flash at a frequency of 2 Hz while
illuminated.
