ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 18-2-53
Function
The CAN system uses a twisted pair of wires to form the 'data bus' to minimise electrical interference. This method of
serial interface is very reliable and very fast. The information messages are structured so that each of the receivers
(ECM or EAT ECU) is able to interpret and react to the messages sent.
The CAN 'data bus' is directly connected between pin 36 of connector C0637 of the ECM and pin 16 of connector
C0193 at the EAT ECU, and pin 37 of connector C0637 of the ECM and pin 44 of connector C0193 at the EAT ECU.
The CAN system can fail in the following ways:
lCAN data bus wiring open circuit.
lCAN data bus wiring short circuit.
In the event of a CAN data bus failure any of the following symptoms may be observed:
lMIL illuminated after 2 drive cycles (NAS only).
lEAT defaults to 3rd gear only.
lHarsh gearshifts.
l'Sport' and 'manual' lights flash alternately.
Should a malfunction of the component occur the following fault codes may be evident and can be retrieved by
TestBook.
Drive cycles
The following are the TestBook drive cycles:

Drive cycle A:
1Switch on the ignition for 30 seconds.

MANIFOLDS AND EXHAUST SYSTEMS - V8
30-2-6 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Inlet plenum
The plenum is mounted transversely on the front of the upper manifold. The plenum divides into two galleries which
connect with the galleries on the upper manifold. The plenum is secured to the upper manifold with four bolts and
sealed with a coated metal gasket.
The plenum provides attachment for the throttle housing, which is secured with four bolts and sealed with a coated
metal gasket. The plenum also has vacuum connections for brake servo, rocker cover breather and fuel vapour from
the charcoal canister. A port on the top of the plenum connects via a hose to the IAC valve.
Exhaust manifolds
Two handed, cast iron exhaust manifolds are used on the V8 engine. Each manifold has four ports which merge into
one flanged outlet positioned centrally on the manifold.
Each manifold is attached to its cylinder head with eight Torx bolts. Each bolt is fitted with a 'cotton reel' shaped spacer
which allows for a longer bolt resulting in increased torque loading on each bolt. Two laminated metal gaskets seal
each manifold to its cylinder head. The flanged outlet on each manifold provides the attachment for the front pipe of
the exhaust system.
Exhaust system
The exhaust system comprises a front pipe assembly with two front pipes each incorporating a catalytic converter, an
intermediate pipe incorporating a silencer and a tail pipe assembly which also has a silencer. The exhaust system is
constructed mainly of 63 mm (2.48 in) diameter extruded pipe with a 1.5 mm (0.06 in) wall thickness. All pipes are
aluminized to resist corrosion and the silencers are fabricated from stainless steel sheet.
Front pipe assembly
The front pipe assembly is of welded and fabricated construction. A front pipe from each exhaust manifold merges
into one flanged connection. Two captive studs on the flange provide attachment to the intermediate pipe with
locknuts. Each front pipe has a welded flange which is attached to each manifold and secured with three studs and
flanged nuts and sealed with a metal laminated gasket. The gasket comprises a heat resistant fibre between two thin
metallic layers to enhance the sealing properties of the gasket.
A catalytic converter is located in each front pipe. The catalytic converters are different shapes to allow clearance
between the body and transmission. Both catalytic converters are of similar internal construction.

+ EMISSION CONTROL - V8, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Emission Control Systems.
CAUTION: Ensure the exhaust system is free from leaks. Exhaust gas leaks upstream of the catalytic
converter could cause internal damage to the catalytic converter.
From the catalytic converters, the front pipes merge into one pipe which terminates at a flanged joint. The flange
connects with the intermediate pipe, sealed with an olive and secured with studs and locknuts.
Intermediate pipe and silencer
The intermediate pipe is of welded and fabricated tubular construction. It connects at its forward end with a flange on
the front pipe assembly and is secured with locknuts to captive studs in the front pipe assembly flange. The rear
section of the intermediate pipe connects to the tail pipe assembly via a flanged joint, sealed with a metal gasket and
secured with locknuts and studs.
The forward and rear sections are joined by a silencer. The silencer is fabricated from stainless steel sheet to form
the body of the silencer. An end plate closes each end of the silencer and is attached to the body with seam joints.
Perforated baffle tubes inside the silencer are connected to the inlet and outlet pipes on each end plate. Internal baffle
plates support the baffle tubes and together with a stainless steel fibre absorb combustion noise as the exhaust gases
pass through the silencer.
The intermediate pipe is attached by two brackets, positioned at each end of the silencer, and mounting rubbers to
the chassis. The mounting rubbers allow ease of alignment and vibration absorption. The two mounting rubbers are
fitted with removable heat deflectors to prevent heat from the silencer damaging the material.

TRANSFER BOX - LT230SE
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 41-13
Description
General
The LT 230SE transfer box is mounted at the rear of the gearbox and transmits drive via high or low reduction ratios
to the front and rear axles via the propeller shafts. The high/low ratios are 1.211:1 and 3.32:1 respectively.
Transfer boxes fitted to this model have the prefixes 41D and 42D to the unit serial number. Prefix 41D denotes that
the unit is not fitted with interlock whilst 42D denotes that interlock is fitted.
Vehicles up to 03 model year – Whilst similar to LT230Q transfer boxes fitted to other models, the LT230SE transfer
box has certain engineering modifications incorporated which are as follows:
lUprated torque capacity
lModified front and rear output and cross shaft housings
lIntermediate gear bearing pre-load now controlled by a selective, non-collapsible spacer
lSpeedometer drive and driven gears not fitted for this application
lModified high/low sleeve
lModified front output flange and mud shield
lDifferential lock fitted to certain vehicles, but no longer driver operated
lFixed setting of differential lock warning lamp switch on vehicles fitted with differential lock
Vehicles from 03 model year – The LT230SE transfer box is as described above for vehicles up to 03 model year
with the following modifications:
The following items are introduced on vehicles from 03 model year
lRibs added to main casing to reduce operating noise
lBearing retaining nut on the differential carrier has patchlock added to the threads
lInterlock solenoid moved from main casing to selector lever assembly
lIntermediate gears modified with machined internal shoulder and bearing circlips deleted
The following items are introduced later in the 03 model year build programme and therefore may not appear on all
03 model year vehicles
lDriver operated differential lock (if fitted)
lHigh/Low selector shaft fitted with spring assist
lExisting differential lock switch replaced by new design switch.
lNew secondary differential lock switch installed in the front output housing
Construction
The transfer box comprises three main assemblies; the main casing, the front output housing and the rear output
housing. Both output housings and all cover plates are sealed to the main casing by sealant; mud and water ingress
being prevented by mud shields located on the output flanges.
Main casing
The main casing carries the mainshaft input gear, the intermediate gears and the differential, together with the high/
low range gears, selector shaft and fork. The front and rear output housings are bolted to either side of the main
casing.
Transmission neutral sensor
A transmission neutral sensor is fitted on automatic gearbox vehicles for North America and Japan. The sensor is
connected to the BCU and is normally in the open position. The sensor provides an earth path for the BCU which then
interprets the signal and activates an audible warning generated by the IDM if neutral is selected on the transfer box
when the ignition is on.

TRANSFER BOX - LT230SE
41-16 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
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. Vehicles not fitted with a differential lock can be
identified by a high/low range selector lever with no differential lock functionality and the cover and selector shaft
(arrowed), not visible 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.
Differential lock warning lamp switch - if fitted - Vehicles up to 03 model year
A differential lock warning lamp switch connected to the SLABS ECU and operated by movement of the selector fork
and shaft is screwed into the top of the output housing. The switch connects to earth when the differential lock is
engaged.
Differential lock warning lamp switches - if fitted - Vehicles from 03 model year
Vehicles from 03 model year are fitted with two differential lock warning lamp switches.
One switch is of a new design and is fitted into the top of the front output housing in the same position as on previous
models. The switch is connected to the SLABS ECU and is operated by movement of the selector fork and shaft.
The second switch is located in a threaded hole on the forward face of the front output housing. The switch is also
connected to the SLABS ECU and is operated by movement of the selector shaft.
Both switches have an aluminium washer which seals the switch to the casing and also sets the switch position,
removing the requirement for a setting procedure.
Both switches are connected in parallel to earth when the differential lock is engaged. This earth is sensed by the
SLABS ECU which illuminates the differential lock warning lamp in the instrument pack.
Differential lock warning lamp - Vehicles up to 03 model year – if fitted
The differential lock warning lamp is located in the instrument pack and provides a warning to the driver when the
ignition is switched on that the differential lock is engaged. The warning lamp illuminates in a Red colour.
With the lock engaged, the traction control and electronic brake distribution warning lamps will also be illuminated.
Disengagement of the differential lock should be carried out with the ignition switched off. The warning lamps must
be extinguished when the ignition is switched on again.
Differential lock warning lamp – vehicles from 03 model year – if fitted
The differential lock warning lamp is located in the instrument pack and provides a visual warning to the driver, when
the ignition is on, the differential lock is engaged. The warning lamp illuminates in an amber colour.
When the lock is engaged, the warning lamp is illuminated and the instrument pack sounder emits three audible
chimes. When the lock is disengaged, the warning lamp is extinguished and the instrument pack sounder emits three
audible chimes.
Rear output housing
The rear output housing carries the output shaft and flange. A cable operated transmission brake is attached to the
housing, the brake drum being attached to the output flange.
The rear output shaft is supported in the housing by a single bearing and is splined into the differential rear sun gear.

TRANSFER BOX - LT230SE
41-18 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
On vehicle fitted with a differential lock, the high/low range selector lever as fitted on previous models also
incorporates the differential lock selector on vehicles from 03 model year.
The lever can be moved forwards or backwards to select high, neutral or low range or sideways to select differential
lock engaged or disengaged, on vehicles with differential lock fitted.
The selector lever assembly comprises an aluminium casting with bosses for location of the two cables, the selector
lever mechanism and a housing for the interlock solenoid (if fitted). The upper face of the casting has threaded holes
which allow for the attachment of the casting to the mounting plate which is attached to the transmission tunnel.
A boss at the front provides location for the differential lock cable. The cable is attached to a lever which in turn is
attached to the selector lever. Movement of the selector lever is passed via the lever to the cable which moves the
differential lock selector shaft.
A second boss provides for the location of the high/low range cable. The cable is attached to a plate which moves in
a forward or rearward direction with the selector lever. On North American and Japanese specification models, plate
movement is prevented by an interlock solenoid when the ignition key is not in the ignition.
When fitted, the interlock solenoid is located on the right hand side of the selector lever casting. The solenoid is fitted
into a cast housing in the casting and retained with a circlip. Sealant is applied over the circlip to seal the solenoid in
the housing to prevent the ingress of dirt and moisture. The solenoid performs the same function as on previous
models, preventing the selection of neutral on the transfer box when the ignition key is not in the ignition.
A setting procedure is required for both the differential lock cable and the high/low range cable.
