As the diesel engine air inlet system does not produce sufficient depression to operate the brake servo assembly, an
engine driven vacuum pump is installed.
The vacuum pump is integrated with the engine alternator and driven by the auxiliary drive belt. The pump is a rotary
vane type, lubricated and cooled by engine oil supplied through a pipe connected to the engine block and returned
through a pipe connected to the engine oil sump. Air extracted from the brake servo assembly is vented into the oil
sump with returning lubricating oil.

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).

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.

BRAKES
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 70-21
ETC
The ETC function uses brake intervention to prevent wheel spin and maintain even torque distribution to the wheels.
ETC is automatically enabled while the brakes are off at speeds up to 62.5 mph (100 km/h), and operates the brakes
either individually or in axle pairs:
lAt speeds up to 31.3 mph (50 km/h), ETC uses individual brake intervention to maintain even torque distribution
between wheels on the same axle.
lVehicles up to 03 model year – At speeds between 0 and 62.5 mph (0 and 100 km/h), ETC also uses brake
intervention in axle pairs to maintain even torque distribution between the front and rear axles. In effect, this mode
of operation replaces the centre differential lock of the transfer box which, although still incorporated, is non
operational under normal driving conditions.

+ TRANSFER BOX - LT230SE, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description. If the centre differential
lock is in the locked condition, the SLABS ECU illuminates the ABS and ETC warning lamps and inhibits the ETC
function (the ABS, EBD and HDC functions are retained, but at degraded performance levels).
lVehicles from 03 model year (with differential lock fitted) – At speeds between 0 and 62.5 mph (0 and 100
km/h), ETC uses brake intervention in axle pairs to maintain even torque distribution between the front and rear
axles. If the centre differential lock is in the locked condition, the differential lock warning lamp in the instrument
pack is illuminated. The ABS, EBD, ETC and HDC functions are retained, but with revised parameters to suit the
locked differential.
While the ETC function is enabled, if the SLABS ECU detects a wheel accelerating faster than the average, indicating
loss of traction, it operates the ABS modulator in the active braking mode. Depending on the vehicle speed, active
braking is employed for either the brake of the affected wheel or for both brakes on the affected axle, until all four
wheels are driven at approximately the same speed again. During active braking the SLABS ECU also illuminates the
ETC warning lamp, for a minimum of 2 seconds or for the duration that ETC is active. ETC operation is desensitised
during 'hard' cornering.
HDC
HDC uses brake intervention to provide a controlled descent ability in off road conditions when engine braking is
insufficient to maintain a comfortable speed. This allows the driver to leave HDC selected and to control the vehicle's
descent speed, down to the system's minimum target speed, using only the accelerator pedal. The HDC function is
selected on/off by a switch on the fascia. When selected on, HDC is enabled in all forward gears and reverse provided:
lVehicle speed is below 31.3 mph (50 km/h).
lThe transfer box is in low range.
lOn manual gearbox vehicles, the clutch is engaged.
When HDC is enabled, the HDC information warning lamp illuminates. If HDC is selected outside the above
conditions, the HDC information warning lamp flashes and the audible warning sounds continuously.
When HDC is enabled, the SLABS ECU calculates a target speed from the throttle position element of the engine data
input, and compares this with actual speed. If the actual speed is higher than the target speed, the SLABS ECU
operates the ABS modulator in the active braking mode to slow the vehicle down to the target speed. While the braking
force is being applied, the SLABS ECU also energizes the brake lamp relay to put the brake lamps on. Active braking
is discontinued while vehicle speed is below the target speed or if the foot brakes are applied. Applying the foot brakes
during active braking may result in a pulse through the brake pedal, which is normal.
During active braking, the brakes are operated predominantly on the wheels of the leading axle, but if that is not
sufficient to achieve the required deceleration the brakes of the trailing axle are also applied. The deceleration rate is
dependent on the speed differential between initial vehicle speed and the target speed. The deceleration rates are
relatively low at higher speed differentials, then progressively increase as vehicle speed approaches the target speed.
Anti-lock braking is also enabled during active braking, but at very low speeds some wheel lock can occur.
The target speed increases as the accelerator pedal is pressed, from a programmed minimum with the accelerator
pedal released, up to a maximum of 31.3 mph (50 km/h). For any given accelerator pedal position, while travelling
uphill or on level ground the target speed is always greater than the corresponding vehicle speed, which allows the
vehicle to be driven normally without HDC intervention. However, when travelling downhill, the gravitational effect on
the vehicle means that for any given accelerator pedal position the target speed is less than the corresponding vehicle
speed, and HDC intervenes to limit vehicle speed to the target speed.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 70-23
Typical disabled times
Diagnostics
While the ignition is on, the diagnostics function of the SLABS ECU monitors the system for faults. In addition, the
return pump is tested by pulsing it briefly immediately after the engine starts provided vehicle speed exceeded 4.4
mph (7 km/h) during the previous ignition cycle. If a fault exists in a warning lamp circuit, the lamp will not illuminate
during the lamp check at ignition on but, provided there are no other faults, the related function will otherwise be fully
operational. If a fault is detected during the power up, the SLABS ECU stores a related fault code in memory and
illuminates the appropriate fault warning lamps. If a fault is detected later in the drive cycle, the SLABS ECU also
sounds the audible warning three times.
Fault codes and diagnostic routines can be accessed by connecting Testbook to the vehicle's diagnostic connector
in the driver's footwell.
Warning lamp fault operation
After detecting a fault, the SLABS ECU selects an appropriate default strategy which, where possible, retains some
operational capability. A shuttle valve switch fault and throttle position signal fault are classified as permanent faults.
If a permanent fault is detected, the related warning lamp illumination and default strategies are automatically
employed in subsequent ignition cycles, even if the fault is intermittent, until the fault has been rectified and cleared
from memory. If a non permanent fault is detected, the related warning lamp illumination and default strategies will
only be employed in subsequent ignition cycles if the fault is still present.
After rectification of an ABS sensor fault, the ABS and ETC functions are disabled, and the ABS warning lamp remains
illuminated after the lamp check, until vehicle speed exceeds 9.4 mph (15 km/h) (to allow additional checks to be
performed).

RESTRAINT SYSTEMS
75-10 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
SRS warning lamp
The SRS warning lamp illuminates for 5 seconds during system readiness check on starting the engine. The SRS
warning lamp extinguishes for one second after the system readiness check is performed. If a fault is present the
warning lamp then illuminates continuously. If no fault is present, the SRS warning lamp remains extinguished. If a
system fault occurs in excess of two seconds after the readiness check has been completed, the SRS warning lamp
illuminates for that ignition cycle. It remains illuminated for a minimum of 12 seconds
± 4 seconds for all fault
conditions.
The SRS warning lamp will only illuminate for low voltage concerns while the low voltage condition is present. If the
low voltage condition is corrected, the SRS warning lamp extinguishes and the fault is recorded in the DCU's memory.
