DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 41-15
Functionality – Vehicles up to 03 model year only
The function of the differential lock used in previous applications is performed on this vehicle by the Electronic Traction
Control System. However, for the purposes of 2 wheel rolling road testing , the differential lock components are
retained. For all driving conditions however, the differential lock must be set in the unlocked position.
Up to 03 model year specification shown
The differential lock must only be engaged for 2 wheel rolling road testing as engagement of the lock disables the
traction control feature and inhibits correct operation of the electronic brake distribution and hill descent features. It
will also be necessary to disconnect the propeller shaft from the transfer box output shaft driving the axle whose
wheels are NOT on the rolling road. The lock may be engaged/disengaged by using a 10 mm open ended spanner
on the flats (arrowed) machined on the differential lock selector shaft.
Vehicles not fitted with a differential lock may be identified by there being no cover or selector shaft (arrowed) on the
front output housing.
WARNING: VEHICLES NOT FITTED WITH A DIFFERENTIAL LOCK MUST NOT BE TESTED ON A ROLLING
ROAD WHERE THE ROLLERS ARE DRIVEN BY THE VEHICLE.
Functionality – Vehicles from 03 model year only
The differential lock must be engaged for 2 wheel rolling road testing. It will also be necessary to disconnect the
propeller shaft from the transfer box output shaft driving the axle whose wheels are NOT on the rolling road. In
addition, the ETC system must be deactivated by either, removing a fuse (10A fuse 28 in the passenger compartment
fusebox, labelled ABS) or disconnecting the ABS modulator pump. This must be done with the ignition switched off.
Note that the SLABS ECU may record a system fault.
The lock can be engaged or disengaged using the selector lever.
WARNING: VEHICLES NOT FITTED WITH A DIFFERENTIAL LOCK MUST NOT BE TESTED ON A ROLLING

Torque converter housing
The torque converter housing attaches the gearbox to the engine and contains the torque converter. Different torque
converter housings are used to accommodate the difference between the V8 and Td5 engine interfaces. The torque
converter is connected to the engine drive plate and transmits the drive from the engine to the gearbox input shaft.
When engaged, a hydraulic lock-up clutch in the torque converter prevents slippage, to give a direct drive from the
engine to the gearbox for improved driving response.
Intermediate plate
The intermediate plate supports the gearbox input shaft and provides the interface between the transmission fluid
pump and the lubrication circuit. The pump attaches to the front of the intermediate plate and is driven by the impeller
in the torque converter. The pump pressurises transmission fluid drawn from the sump on the gearbox housing. The
pressurised fluid then circulates through the torque converter and gearbox housing components for cooling,
lubrication and gear shift purposes. Ports around the outer periphery of the intermediate plate provide the inlet and
outlet connections to the fluid cooler and a pressure take-off point for servicing.
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.
