Brake Actuation System (06.06)
Description
Tandem Master Cylinder
The short-stroke tandem master-cylinder controls two
separate brake circuits which are jointly activated by the
brake pedal. In the event of a major leak in one system, the
other will still function. The two systems are supplied by a
common brake fluid reservoir.
A pressure sensor attached to the master-cylinder provides
the ABS / DSC module with brake pressure information. This
information informs the system how hard the driver is
braking and is used as an aid for the ABS / DSC to achieve
accurate brake pressure control.
Brake Fluid Reservoir
The brake fluid reservoir is mo unted directly on the tandem
master cylinder and secured with a pin. Two stub pipes, on
the base of the reservoir, locate into the primary and
secondary chambers of the tandem master cylinder.
An integral fluid-level switch is incorporated in the reservoir.
If the brake fluid level is low, the brake warning lamp in the
Driver Information Module (D IM) will illuminate and ‘LOW
BRAKE FLUID’ will be displayed in the message center right.

AVOID SKIN / EYE CONTACT OR INGESTION OF
BRAKE FLUID. IF SKIN OR EYES ARE SPLASHED WITH BRAKE FLUID, RINSE THE AFFECTED AREA
IMMEDIATELY WITH PLENTY OF WATER AND OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION. IF BR AKE FLUID IS INGESTED,
OBTAIN IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
WAR NI NG
BRAKE FLUID IS HYGROSCOPIC. IF KEPT IN OPENED CONTAINERS IT WILL ABSORB WATER VAPOUR. USE
ONLY BRAKE FLUID FROM FRESHLY OPENED
CONTAINERS WHEN TOPPING-UP THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR.
Caution
Brake fluid must not be allowed to contact the vehicle
paint work. Remove spilt brake fluid from the paint work
by rinsing away with running water.
Caution
Always plug pipe ends to prevent ingress of dirt or
moisture into the system.

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) (06.09)
Brake system (06.00)
Issue 4, November 2008 Workshop Manual 6-9-3
Engine Intervention
In the event of wheel-slip the ABS / DSC module calculates
the torque, which should be applied by the engine to reduce
the wheel-slip (this torque does not exceed driver demand).
Engine torque reduction is then requested from the PCM via
the CAN bus. The PCM, in response to these signals, reduces
engine torque by controlling the ignition and fuelling. A
traction control gearshift pattern is automatically selected
within the automatic transmission software whenever
traction control is active.
Brake Intervention
This function operates by increasing the pressure in the
brake caliper of the slipping wheel, by closing the separation
valve and the inlet valve of the non-slipping wheel and
running the modulator pump. This takes fluid from the fluid
reservoir via the non-actuated master cylinder and
pressurizes the brake caliper. The pressure is modulated at
the caliper via the inlet and outlet valves to achieve the
desired wheel-slip target to maximize traction.
