Symposer System
The symposer system modifies induction sound waves of a specific frequency range, at given engine settings, to produce the
required engine sound. The symposer system consists of:
An inlet pipe and flange.
A symposer and pneumatic valve assembly. A
tuning valve and associated vacuum tubes.
An outlet pipe.
An outlet adapter.
The inlet pipe and flange transfer induction noise from the RH intake manifold to the symposer. The pipe is a push fit on the symposer and the flange, which is attached to the rear face of the RH intake manifold.
The symposer contains two pairs of chambers, one pair on the inlet side and one pair on the outlet side. The inlet pipe
connects to one of the chambers on the inlet side of the symposer, and the pneumatic valve connects to one of the chambers
on the outlet side of the symposer. A calibrated orifice in the inlet pipe connection on the symposer limits the range of sound
waves that pass through it. A 'paddle' installed in a diaphragm forms the separating wall in each pair of chambers. The paddle
is able to pivot about its lateral axis where it passes through the wall that separates the two pairs of chambers.

The tuning valve controls the application of vacuum pressure to the pneumatic valve. Two screws attach the tuning valve to the
same bracket as the symposer and pneumatic valve. The tuning valve is a normally-closed solenoid-operated valve installed in
the vacuum line between a T-connection in the brake vacuum system and the pneumatic valve. A vent cap on the tuning valve
allows atmospheric pressure into the vacuum line to the pneumatic valve when the tuning valve is closed.
The outlet pipe carries sound from the pneumatic valve to the feedback tube via the outlet adapter. The outlet pipe is a push
fit on the pneumatic valve and in the outlet adapter. A screw attaches the outlet adapter to an engine harness bracket
installed between the two intake manifolds.
Feedback Tube
The feedback tube transfers the sound from the symposer system to the resonator. Clips secure the feedback tube to the
outlet adapter of the symposer system and to the resonator.
Resonator
The resonator directs the sound from the feedback tube into the passenger compartment. The resonator is installed in the
passenger compartment side of the engine bulkhead, on two mounting grommets each consisting of an isolator and a
compression limiter. A hose seal isolates the resonator where it passes through the secondary bulkhead.

Principles of Operation
For a detailed description of the intake air distribution and filtering system and operation, refer to the relevant Description and
Operation section of the workshop manual. REFER to: (303-12D Intake Air Distribution and Filtering - V8 S/C 5.0L Petrol)
Intake Air Distribution and Filtering (Description and Operation), Intake Air Distribution and Filtering (Description and Operation), Intake Air Distribution and Filtering (Description and Operation).
Inspection and Verification
CAUTION: Diagnosis by substitution from a donor vehicle is NOT acceptable. Substitution of control modules does not
guarantee confirmation of a fault and may also cause additional faults in the vehicle being checked and/or the donor vehicle.
NOTE: Check and rectify basic faults before beginning diagnostic routines involving pinpoint tests.
1. Verify the customer concern.
2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage.

3. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to
the next step.
4. If the cause is not visually evident, verify the symptom and refer to the Symptom Chart, alternatively check for
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and refer to the DTC Index.
