Exhaust System - V8 5.0L Petrol/V8 S/C 5.0L Petrol - Exhaust System - System Operation and Component Description
Description and Operation
CATALYTIC CONVERTERS System Operation
In the catalytic converters, the exhaust gases are passed through honeycombed ceramic elements coated with a special
surface treatment called 'washcoat'. The washcoat increases the surface area of the ceramic elements by a factor of
approximately 7000. On top of the washcoat is a coating containing palladium and rhodium, which are the active constituents
for converting harmful emissions into inert by-products. The palladium and rhodium add oxygen to the carbon monoxide and
the hydrocarbons in the exhaust gases, to convert them into carbon dioxide and water respectively.
SEMI-ACTIVE MUFFLER VALVE (5.0L SUPERCHARGER VEHICLES ONLY)
The semi-active muffler valve is operated by the pressure in the exhaust system. At low engine speeds the valve head is
closed or partially closed to provide a more refined noise quality. At higher engine speeds the increased pressure within the
exhaust system opens the valve head to provide a more sporting noise. This is achieved by the valve, which once open, allows
the exhaust gasses to by-pass the baffle tubes and plates in the rear silencer.
Component Description
FRONT SECTION - 4.2L NATURALLY ASPIRATED (NAS ONLY) - From 2010MY
The front section comprises two separate pipes, each incorporating a catalytic converter. Each catalytic converter has a welded
inlet pipe with a flange. The inlet pipe is flared into a cone which mates with the exhaust manifold. The flange has two holes
which locate on studs in the exhaust manifold and is secured with flanged nuts. Each catalytic converter is fitted with a pre
and post catalyst HO2S (heated oxygen sensor).
Each catalytic converter has a curved outlet pipe which mates with the respective inlet pipe for the applicable resonator on the
center section. The joint on each pipe is secured with a clamp.
FRONT SECTION - 5.0L NATURALLY ASPIRATED AND SUPERCHARGER - From 2010MY
The front section is common to both the naturally aspirated and supercharger vehicles. The front section comprises two
separate pipes each incorporating a catalytic converter. Each catalytic converter has a welded pipe with a flange, which is
flared into a cone which mates with the exhaust manifold. Each flange has two holes which locate on studs in the exhaust
manifold and are secured with nuts. Each catalytic converter is fitted with a mid catalyst HO2S. The mid catalyst HO2S is located in the catalytic converter.
NOTE: The pre catalyst HO2S is located in the exhaust manifold.
On vehicles from 2013MY, a post catalyst HO2S is located in the curved pipe from each catalytic converter.
A curved pipe from each catalytic converter locates into the resonator inlet pipes of the center section. The LH (left-hand) pipe
is fitted with a mass damper which absorbs resonance from the system.
REAR SECTION - 4.2L NATURALLY ASPIRATED (NAS ONLY) - From 2010MY
The 2 inlet pipes each connect into a separate resonator silencer. Each resonator silencer is cylindrical in shape and houses 2
perforated tubes separated by 2 baffle plates. Exhaust gasses exit each resonator silencer via an outlet pipe. The 2 outlet
pipes are joined together behind the resonators with a cross over pipe. Each pipe also has a welded hanger bracket which
allow the rear section to be supported on mounting rubbers. A further bracket is welded to each pipe which braces the 2 pipes
together.
The 2 rear silencers each have a welded inlet pipe which mate with the outlet pipes from the resonator silencers and are each
secured with a clamp. The inlet pipes each have a welded hanger bracket which support each rear silencer at the rear of the
vehicle on mounting rubbers. The fabricated rear silencers have 2 perforated tubes which are supported on 2 perforated baffle
plates. The exhaust gasses are expelled from the rear silencer via a single outlet pipe. The outlet pipe from each silencer has
a welded hanger bar which support the rear silencer on mounting rubbers. The outlet pipe is fitted with a welded outlet which
is covered with a polished stainless steel finisher which is part welded to the silencer.
REAR SECTION - 5.0L NATURALLY ASPIRATED - From 2010MY

SPEED CONTROL System Operation
The speed control system uses inputs from the brake lamp/brake test switch, the APP sensor, the ECM and the ABS module.
Speed control is operated by the driver using only the steering wheel switches. When speed control is active, the ECM regulates the PWM (pulse width modulation) signals to the fuel injectors to adjust the fuel supply as required to maintain the
set speed.
During speed control operation, the ECM controls vehicle speed by adjusting fuel injection duration and timing. When the accelerator pedal is pressed with speed control active, the ECM outputs a calculated throttle angle signal in place of the actual throttle angle signals produced by the APP sensor. The calculated throttle angle is derived from fuel demand.
The minimum set speed for speed control is 18 mph (30 (km/h). Speed control is automatically suspended if the following
conditions apply:
Vehicle speed falls below 18 mph (30 km/h)
The brake pedal is pressed
The cancel button is pressed
Neutral, park or reverse gear is selected
The difference between actual speed and the set speed is too great
If the engine speed becomes near to the red line (maximum engine speed)
If the accelerator pedal is used to accelerate beyond the set speed for too long.
ADAPTIVE SPEED CONTROL
The adaptive speed control system comprises the following components:
Adaptive speed control sensor
Adaptive speed control module
Steering wheel control switches
ECM
Electric throttle actuator
ABS module and pump Adaptive speed control warning indicator.
The adaptive speed control system uses a forward looking radar sensor to scan the road ahead, looking for objects that are
moving at a different rate to itself. When a target is identified the adaptive speed control system will monitor the time gap
between it and the target vehicle. When that gap falls below a set driver selected level the adaptive speed control system will
intervene slowing the vehicle by backing off the throttle and/ or applying the brakes, until the correct gap is attained. The
driver can chose between four gap settings, 1, 1.4, 1.8 and 2.2 seconds.
The system will detect but not react to the following:
Vehicles in the oncoming lane
Stationary vehicles
Pedestrians
Vehicles not in the same lane.
Adaptive speed control is active when the vehicle is moving. Adaptive Speed Control only functions when a set speed is
entered in normal speed control mode. The adaptive speed control system only intervenes with the set speed when it detects
a target vehicle, and then only if the minimum time gap is breached.
It is important to note that the system is intended for use in limited driving situations, does not remove control and
responsibility from the driver, and at all times can be quickly overridden. The adaptive speed control system is not a collision
warning system and will not react to stationary objects. The system does not operate below a minimum speed of
approximately 30 km/h (20 mph) since it is unsuitable for use in cities or congested traffic. The system is best suited to main
roads/ highways with gradual bends.
The ECM, throttle body and throttle control are unchanged from those used for non adaptive speed control variants.
The adaptive speed control system is based on the use of a front mounted radar sensor. The sensor transmits a 1.5° wide
beam forward of the vehicle and detects the returning signals reflected off other vehicles and objects ahead.
The 1.5° wide radar beam is mechanically scanned at a rate of 10 sweeps/second across a total arc of 15° centered on the
Automatic braking is limited to approximately 30% of full pressure (0.3G deceleration) and is intended to provide a
smooth, gradual deceleration in follow mode conditions. Harsh braking by the target vehicle or following the target
vehicle down to very low speeds or to a halt will require driver override of the brakes.
While the radar sensor detects moving and stationary targets for assessment of the environment ahead, the system
does not react to or provide any control in situations other than follow mode conditions. Stationary or slow moving
vehicles (below 10 km/h), pedestrians, objects on the road and oncoming vehicles in the same lane are not recognized.
WARNING: The adaptive speed control system is not a collision warning or avoidance system and that, other than the
limited conditions of follow mode, driver intervention will be necessary to control the vehicle speed.
In follow mode, some situations may cause target ambiguities for the detection system. These situations include:
The nearby presence of a third vehicle when driving on a line slightly offset to the target vehicle.
Vehicles edging into the lane ahead which are not detected by the system until they have moved into the radar beam.
On the approach to, or exit from a bend, a target vehicle may be lost or a new target acquired as vehicles ahead change their
angular position with respect to the radar sensor. On a straight road, if the sensing vehicle is in follow mode below its selected
set speed, losing the target vehicle will cause the sensing vehicle to accelerate to this set speed. This acceleration is
undesirable either on, or entering a bend when the target is suddenly lost, and in this situation the system inhibits the
resumption of the set speed.
The speed control system compares vehicle speed data from the ABS system with the relative speed of an external object as
detected by the radar sensor to ascertain whether the object is stationary or not.
NOTE: If tires are fitted which are different in diameter from those specified for the vehicle, the vehicle speed calculated
by the ABS will not be the true road speed. This situation may cause stationary objects to be falsely identified as moving
vehicles and result in automatic deceleration on a clear road.

ATC Module Component Description
The ATC module is mounted on the outboard end of the air inlet duct, behind the front passenger side of the instrument panel. The ATC module processes inputs from the TSD, the switches on the integrated control panel and the system sensors. In response to these inputs, the ATC module outputs control signals to the A/C system and the heating and ventilation system.
Two electrical connectors provide the interface between the ATC module and the vehicle wiring. The ATC module uses hardwired inputs from the system sensors, the LIN bus to communicate with the stepper motors and the medium speed CAN bus to communicate with other control modules on the vehicle.
A/C Compressor Solenoid Valve
The A/C compressor solenoid valve is integral with the A/C compressor. Operation of the solenoid valve is controlled by the ATC module using a hardwired drive current of differing values. By controlling the flow of refrigerant through the compressor, the
solenoid valve can control the A/C system pressure and the evaporator operating temperature.
Refrigerant Pressure Sensor
The refrigerant pressure sensor provides the ATC module with a pressure input from the high pressure side of the refrigerant system. The refrigerant pressure sensor is located in the refrigerant line between the condenser and the thermostatic
expansion valve.
The ATC module supplies a 5 V reference voltage to the refrigerant pressure sensor and receives a return signal voltage, between 0 V and 5 V, related to system pressure.
The ATC module uses the signal from the pressure sensor to protect the refrigerant system from extremes of pressure. The ATC module transmits the A/C pressure, along with the compressor drive current value, to the instrument cluster on the medium speed CAN bus. These signals are broadcast to the ECM on the high speed CAN bus to allow it to calculate the torque being applied to the engine by the compressor. www.JagDocs.com
The functionality for each of the above warning indicators is described in the following sections:
1 and 2. Turn Signal Indicators
The turn signal indicators are controlled by the CJB on receipt of medium speed CAN bus signals from the instrument cluster.
The instrument cluster outputs a voltage to the turn signal indicator switch. The switch contains resistors of different values.
When the switch is operated in either the LH or RH direction, the voltage is passed to a ground connection in the instrument cluster which detects the reduced voltage supplied via the resistors. When the turn signal indicator switch is operated in the
LH or RH direction, the instrument cluster detects the ground voltage and determines whether a LH or RH selection is made.
The instrument cluster transmits a medium speed CAN message to the CJB for operation of the applicable turn signal indicators. The message can contain a number of states for each possible switch position and also an out of range low and
high state for circuit faults and an initial value for the switch neutral position. The turn signal indicators are not subject to the
3 second indicator check when the ignition is switched on.
The RJB (rear junction box) software controls the flash rate of the warning indicator which sends 'ON' and 'OFF' signals to the
instrument cluster which flashes the indicators in a green color. During normal operation, the warning indicator flashes slowly,
accompanied simultaneously by a sound from the instrument cluster sounder. If a fault exists, the RJB transmits a message to the instrument cluster which responds by displaying an appropriate message in the message center.
The hazard warning indicators are controlled by the CJB on receipt of a completed ground path from the hazard warning indicator switch. The CJB outputs a medium speed CAN message to the instrument cluster which operates both the LH and RH turn signal indicators simultaneously. The hazard warning indicators can operate with the ignition switched off, therefore the
CAN message from the CJB will also carry a 'wake-up' message for the instrument cluster. 3. Brake Warning Indicator
This warning indicator is displayed in a red or amber color (dependant on market) as a brake symbol in all markets except
United States of America (USA) which have the word 'BRAKE' in place of the symbol. The indicator is controlled by high speed
CAN messages from the ABS module and the parking brake control module. The indicator is illuminated in a red color for a 3 second indicator check when the ignition is switched on.
The instrument cluster monitors the fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir using a hardwired level switch. If the fluid level falls
to below a determined level, the switch contact is broken and the ABS module detects the low fluid level condition. The instrument cluster illuminates the warning indicator and simultaneously displays a 'BRAKE FLUID LOW' message in the
message center.
NOTE: If both the brake warning indicator and the ABS warning indicator illuminate simultaneously, a major fault in the brake system will have occurred.
The warning indicator also displays parking brake status. When the parking brake is applied, the warning indicator will be
illuminated by the instrument cluster and, if the vehicle is moving, the message 'PARK BRAKE APPLIED' will be also displayed
in the message center in response to a CAN message from the parking brake control module.
If a condition exists where the parking brake cannot be applied, the parking brake control module issues a CAN message to the instrument cluster which flashes the warning lamp on and off and is accompanied with a message 'CANNOT APPLY PARK BRAKE'.
If a fault occurs in the parking brake system, the parking brake control module issues a CAN message to the instrument cluster which illuminates the warning indicator and displays the message 'PARK BRAKE FAULT' in the message
center.
4. Forward Alert Indicator
The forward alert system uses the components of the adaptive speed control system to alert the driver of the presence of a
vehicle ahead. The system can be turned on and off using a switch located in the auxiliary lighting switch when the adaptive
speed control system is off. The indicator is illuminated in an amber color for a 3 second indicator check when the ignition is
switched on.
The forward alert system is controlled by the adaptive speed control module. When the switch is pressed, the forward alert
system is activated and the adaptive speed control module issues a forward alert active message on the high speed CAN bus to the instrument cluster. The forward alert icon in the instrument cluster will illuminate in an amber color and a 'FORWARD
ALERT' message will be displayed in the message center. When the button is pressed a second time, the module issues a
forward alert off CAN message. The forward alert system will be deactivated, the forward alert icon will go off and a message 'FORWARD ALERT OFF' will be displayed in the message center.
5. Automatic Speed Limiter (ASL) Indicator
The ASL is controlled by the ECM (engine control module). An ASL switch is located in the floor console, adjacent to the gear
selector lever. When the ASL switch is pressed, this is sensed by the ECM which issues a high speed CAN message to the instrument cluster. The instrument cluster illuminates the ASL warning indicator in an amber color to show the driver that ASL
is active. The driver sets the required speed using the speed control SET +/- switches on the steering wheel. The selected
speed is shown by the message ' LIMITER SET XXX MPH / K/MH' in the message center. The indicator is illuminated in an
amber color for a 3 second indicator check when the ignition is switched on. ASL can be deselected by pressing the ASL switch,
by depressing the throttle pedal initiating kick-down or by pressing the 'cancel' switch on the steering wheel. The ASL indicator
will go off and the message center will display the message 'limiter cancelled' for 4 seconds. If a fault occurs in the ASL
system, the ECM will send a message to the instrument cluster to illuminate the ASL indicator and display the message 'LIMITER NOT AVAILABLE'.
