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.

BRAKES
70-18 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The SLABS ECU continually calculates vehicle speed using the wheel speed inputs from all four ABS sensors. The
calculated vehicle speed is then used as a reference against which individual wheel speeds are monitored for
unacceptable acceleration or deceleration. The ABS sensor inputs are also used by the SLABS ECU to detect vehicle
deceleration rate, vehicle cornering rate and rough terrain.
The engaged forward gear and (on manual gearbox models) the clutch status are computed from the engine data
input, the engine speed input and vehicle speed. Reverse gear status is provided by an input from the reverse lamp
switch (manual gearbox models) or the BCU (automatic gearbox models). On automatic models, the BCU also
provides the neutral selected input.
In addition to controlling the brake related functions, the SLABS ECU:
lControls the operation of the self levelling suspension (SLS) system (where fitted).
+ REAR SUSPENSION, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description.
lOn V8 models, outputs a rough road signal to the ECM when traversing rough terrain.

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.

RESTRAINT SYSTEMS
75-4 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Driver airbag module
The driver airbag module is located in the steering wheel and is controlled by the DCU. A bag within the module
inflates to protect the driver in the event of a collision severe enough to deploy the system.
The driver airbag module connects to the steering column wiring harness via a rotary coupler.
Within the driver airbag module is a squib which, when given the correct current by the DCU, inflates the airbag by
initiating a chemical reaction. In deployment, the airbag inflates within a fraction of a second and then deflates at a
controlled rate as the weight of the driver presses against the bag. Vents in the bag control airbag deflation.
The DCU regularly applies a test current to the driver airbag squib to confirm continuity of the ignition circuitry.
The DCU is capable of detecting a short to ground, a short to battery and an open circuit for the driver airbag module
squib. It will also identify if the configuration of the DCU differs from that actually fitted to the vehicle.
The DCU also stores the following additional information on each fault:
lA count indicating the number of times the fault has occurred.
lA start time and an end time for the fault to indicate duration of the fault.
SEATS
76-5-4 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Description - electric seats
General
All markets use the same electric seat system. Electically operated lumbar support is optional. The system consists
of an electrical sub-system and a mechanical sub-system.
The electrical sub-system consists of the following components:
lBCU.
lSeat power relays.
lSeat switch packs.
lSeat fore/ aft motors.
lSeat cushion front up/ down motors.
lSeat cushion rear up/ down motors.
lSeat squab motor.
lLumbar pump.
lLumbar deflate solenoid.
The mechanical sub-system consist of the following components:
lGear wheels.
lRack and pinion assemblies.
Seat power relay
Located beneath the seat, the seat power relay supplies battery voltage to the satellite fuse box. Operation of the
relays is controlled by the BCU.
Voltage to the seat power relays is from fuse 5 in the engine compartment fuse box. The BCU controls the earth for
the relay coils. Operating the seat power relays provides voltage to the satellite fuse box under each seat.
Satellite fuse box
Located beneath the seat, the satellite fuse box provides circuit protection for the wiring to the seat switches and
motors. It also protects the lumbar inflate and deflate circuits.
The seat power relay provides voltage directly to the 40A fuse in the satellite fuse box. Voltage from this fuse feeds
the seat switch pack. The 3A fuses in the satellite fuse box protect the wiring to the lumbar pump and lumbar deflate
solenoid. Voltage to the 3A fuses comes from the seat switch pack.
