70-26 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Description
General
The handbrake consists of a drum brake, installed on the rear of the transfer box, operated by a cable connected to
a handbrake lever between the front seats.
Handbrake lever
The handbrake lever is mounted on a base plate which attaches to the transmission tunnel. A conventional ratchet
and thumb operated release button are incorporated for locking and unlocking the lever. A warning switch on the base
of the lever operates the brake warning lamp in the instrument pack. While the handbrake is applied the warning
switch connects an earth to the instrument pack which, if the ignition is on, illuminates the brake warning lamp. In
some markets, the instrument pack performs a bulb check of the brake warning lamp each time the ignition is switched
on.
Cable
The handbrake cable consists of inner and outer cables installed between the handbrake lever and the drum brake.
A protective sleeve is installed on the cable to protect the cable from heat from the exhaust system. Handbrake
adjustment is provided by a threaded sleeve installed on the outer cable where it locates in the handbrake lever.
Turning an adjuster wheel, which is keyed to the threaded sleeve and secured by a 'C' clip, alters the effective length
of the outer sleeve and consequently changes the handbrake lever movement needed to apply the drum brake.

RESTRAINT SYSTEMS
75-8 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Diagnostic and Control Unit (DCU)
The SRS DCU is an electronic single point crash sensor. It is capable of sensing if a crash has taken place. If all the
relevant parameters are met, then the DCU deploys the airbag(s) and seat belt pretensioners.
The DCU is bolted to the transmission tunnel beneath the centre console in the area of the handbrake.
The DCU performs the following functions:
lInternal self test, system monitoring and fault detection.
lSRS warning lamp operation.
lSystem deployment.
Self test, system monitoring and fault detection
The DCU performs a self-test during start-up and then continually during operation of the system. The following
components are tested:
lThe decelerometer.
lThe electromechanical safing sensor.
lThe microprocessor.
lThe continuity of squib ignition circuits.
lThe SRS warning lamp.
If the DCU detects a fault, it stores the fault code in memory. Diagnose the DCU with TestBook. The DCU cannot
be serviced. It must be replaced if it is faulty.
SRS warning lamp operation
The DCU controls the SRS warning lamp contained in the instrument cluster.
System deployment
The DCU determines when the system deploys based on inputs from both the decelerometer and the
electromechanical safing sensor. Both are located within the DCU. Neither are serviceable.
The electromechanical safing sensor uses a magnet and ball bearing system to provide a mechanical confirmation of
vehicle deceleration. The ball bearing is held in place by the magnet. The strength of the magnet is calibrated such
that the force required for the ball bearing to move away from the magnet will only occur if the vehicle decelerates
suddenly, as in an accident.
The SRS deploys only if both the decelerometer reading and the safing sensor operation occur at the same time.
