Bypass Condition Test
1. Check the fluid in the brake master cylinderreservoir. Fill the brake master cylinder reservoir
if low or empty.
2. Observe the fluid level in the brake master cylinder reservoir. If after several brake
applications, the fluid level remains the same,
measure the wheel turning torque required to
rotate the wheels with the brakes applied as
follows:
Place the transaxle in the NEUTRAL position.
Raise and support the vehicle. REFER to: (100-02
Jacking and Lifting) Jacking (Description and Operation),
Lifting (Description and Operation).
Apply the brakes with a minimum of 445 N (100
lb) and hold for approximately 15 seconds. With
the brakes still applied, exert a torque on the front
wheels of 10.1 Nm (75 lb ft). If either wheel rotates,
install a new brake master cylinder.
REFER to: Brake Master Cylinder - 2.5L Duratec
(147kW/200PS) - VI5 (206-06 Hydraulic Brake
Actuation, Removal and Installation).
Non-Pressure Leaks
Any empty brake master cylinder reservoir
condition may be caused by two types of
non-pressure external leaks.
Type 1: An external leak may occur at the brake
master cylinder reservoir cap because of incorrect
positioning of the gasket and cap. Reposition the
cap and gasket.
Type 2: An external leak may occur at the brake
master cylinder reservoir mounting seals. Service
such a leak by installing new seals.

Testing the brakes on a roller dynamometer
- 4X4 vehicles only
On 4X4 vehicles a brake test on a roller
dynamometer must only be performed under the
following conditions.
• The brake test must not exceed a duration of 1 minute.
• Ignition key in position 0.
• The roller speed must not exceed 5 km/h.

The ABS/ESP module or the hydraulic control unit
(HCU) is mounted on the left-hand side of the
bulkhead. Diagnosis is performed with the aid of
a diagnostic tester.
The following components can be replaced
separately or as a unit:
• Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU)
• ABS/ESP module
• Mounting Bracket
The following must be taken into account when
removing/installing or renewing the ABS/ESP
module or the hydraulic control unit (HCU):
• Only hydraulic control units (HCU) which are pre-filled with brake fluid are available for
service operations.
• After replacing the HCU it is not necessary to bleed the system via the diagnostic tester.
• After replacing the brake fluid it is also only necessary to perform standard bleeding.
• The blanking caps/plugs must not be removed until the brake tubes are ready to be connected. • If accidentally dropped or knocked install a new
hydraulic control unit (HCU) and module
assembly.
• When the ABS/ESP module is removed/installed or replaced, it is necessary to reconfigure the
ABS/ESP module with the aid of the diagnostic
tester once all of the installation work has been
performed.
Refer to: Module Configuration (418-01 Module
Configuration, General Procedures).
Combined yaw rate sensor and lateral
acceleration sensor / longitudinal
acceleration sensor
E96822
The sensor is attached to the floor crossmember
at the front right. For vehicles with 4x4 drive, a
longitudinal acceleration sensor is also integrated
in the same housing.
The following must be taken into account when
removing/installing or replacing the combined yaw
rate sensor and lateral/longitudinal acceleration
sensor:
• Ensure the correct installation position of the yaw rate sensor and lateral/longitudinal
acceleration sensor.

than to a change in the throttle valve position. The
ignition timing also changes much more quickly.
To keep the ignition point as close as possible to
the knock limit and so optimize the efficiency of the
engine, two KS are installed in the engine, which
pick up the mechanical vibrations of the engine
and convert them into an electrical signal for the
PCM.

Pressure characteristic in cylinder

Output signal from KS
2
The term "knocking" is used to describe
combustion processes in which the flame front
propagation speed reaches the speed of sound.
This can happen towards the end of combustion
in particular, when unburnt air/fuel mixture on the
combustion chamber walls self-ignites due to the
increase in pressure following initiation of regular
combustion. The resulting pressure peaks damage
the pistons, cylinder head gasket and cylinder
head.
The cylinder in which combustion knock is
occurring is identified from the camshaft position (CMP sensors) and crankshaft position (CKP
sensor) information.
If the PCM detects combustion knock, the ignition
timing for the cylinder in question is gradually
retarded for a few crankshaft revolutions until
combustion knock stops. After that the ignition point
is slowly returned to the calculated value. This
facilitates individual cylinder ignition, which makes
it possible for the engine to operate at optimum
efficiency at the knock limit.
Engine fueling
Fuel is supplied by a non-return fuel system.
Fuel pressure and fuel delivery rate are regulated
by the PCM with the aid of the FPDM. The fuel
pump is supplied with a cycled voltage by the
FPDM. By cycling the voltage, the fuel pump output
can be steplessly adjusted. The fuel pressure can
be steplessly regulated between 3 and 5 bar.
Adjusting the fuel pump output has the following
advantages:
• The fuel pump's power consumption is reduced,
thereby reducing the load on the vehicle's power
supply system.
• The fuel pump's service life is increased.
• Fuel pump noise is reduced.
Fuel pressure regulator
The PCM calculates the required fuel pressure
based on the operating conditions. The PCM
transmits a corresponding PWM signal to the
FPDM. With the aid of this signal, the FPDM
actuates the pump by sending, in turn, a PWM
signal to the ground connection of the fuel pump.
The fuel pump can be steplessly regulated by
varying the pulse width of the PWM signal.
The PCM continuously monitors the fuel pressure
in the fuel rail by means of the fuel temperature/fuel
pressure sensor. If the pressure deviates from the
calculated value, the PCM adapts the PWM signal
to the FPDM accordingly. Thus the fuel pressure
levels out at approx. 4 bar.
For safety reasons, the PCM switches off fuel
delivery if the SRS (supplemental restraint system)
module detects a crash.
Regulation of injected fuel quantity
The electromagnetically controlled injectors dose
and atomize the fuel. The quantity of injected fuel
is regulated by the duration of actuation of the fuel
injectors. The fuel injectors are either closed (not

• Fluid leakage
• Transmission fluid level check
• Transmission fluid quality check
• Modification/retrofitting
• Mechanical damage to the transmission
When inspecting connectors, remember that the
plugs may only be disconnected when they are not
energized.
The transaxle electronics may be destroyed by
static charge. To prevent damage, it must be
ensured that the technician complies with the
corresponding safeguards.
NOTE: Refer to the service literature for an exact
description of these safeguards.
Towing the vehicle
E66463
In general, vehicles with the AW55 transaxle can
be towed. Vehicles must never be towed
backwards.
As a result of the reduced lubrication of the
transaxle during towing, the following must be
remembered:
• The selector lever must be in the 'N' position.
• The maximum towing speed must not exceed 50 km/h.
• The maximum towing distance must not exceed 50 kilometers.
Push-starting the Vehicle
No torque is transmitted when towing or pushing
the vehicle. For this reason, vehicles with an
automatic transaxle cannot and must not be
tow-started or push-started.
Jump-starting the Vehicle
CAUTION: When jump-starting the vehicle
using a jumper lead there may be voltage
peaks. These may destroy the transaxle
electronics.
NOTE: When jump-starting the vehicle, the external
battery must remain connected for several minutes.
The voltage peaks dissipate after a few minutes.
Only then may the external battery be disconnected
without the risk of damage.
