INTRODUCTION
Battery Voltage
Open Circuit Voltage Test
Before commencing diagnosis of electrical problems, verify the condition of the battery is
acceptable by using the open circuit voltage test.
1. Switch off all electrical loads on the vehicle.
2. Adjust digital multimeter to read dc volts on the appropriate scale.
3. Connect test probes across battery terminals ensuring that polarity is correct and
record the voltage displayed.
A reading of 12.3 V or more is acceptable; any battery which reads less than this will
need charging.
NOTE: If the vehicle has been used within a period of 8 hours prior to the test, surface
charge must be removed from the battery by switching the headlamps on for approximately
30 seconds. Wait a further 60 seconds before checking the open circuit voltage.
Battery voltage is used as a known reference for ascertaining whether or not circuits are
receiving sufficiently high voltage for components to function correctly. This reference is only
a guide since most electronic circuits are designed to function over a wide range of voltages.
In addition, consideration must be given to readings affected by voltage drop across certain
components and fluctuations due to cable lengths.

INTRODUCTION
ELECTRICAL PRECAUTIONS
General
The following guidelines are intended to ensure the safety of the operator whilst preventing
damage to the electrical and electronic components fitted to the vehicle. Where necessary,
specific precautions are detailed in the relevant sections of this document, reference of
which should be made prior to commencing repair operations.
Equipment – Prior to commencing any test procedure on the vehicle, ensure that the
relevant test equipment is working correctly and any harness or connections are in good
condition. This particularly applies to mains lead or connections.
WARNING: Before commencing work on an ignition system, all high tension
terminals, adaptors and diagnostic equipment for testing should be inspected to
ensure that they are adequately insulated and shielded to prevent accidental personal
contact and to minimise the risk of shock. Wearers of surgically implanted pacemaker
devices should not work in close proximity to ignition circuits or diagnostic
equipment.
Polarity – Never reverse connect the vehicle battery and always observe correct polarity
when connecting test equipment.
High Voltage Circuits – Whenever disconnecting live ht circuits, always use insulated pliers
and never allow the open end of the ht lead to come into contact with other components,
particularly ECU's. Since high voltage spikes can occur on the terminals of the coil while the
engine is running, exercise caution when measuring the voltage at these points.
Connectors and Harnesses – The engine compartment of a vehicle is a particularly hostile
environment for electrical components and connectors. Always ensure these items are dry
and oil free before disconnecting and connecting test equipment. Never force connectors
apart either by using tools or by pulling on the wiring harness. Always ensure locking tabs
are disengaged before removal and note orientation to enable correct reconnection. Ensure
that any protective covers and substances are replaced if disturbed.
Before removing a faulty component, refer to the Workshop Manual for removal procedures.
Ensure the ignition switch is turned to the 'OFF' position, the battery is disconnected (see Battery Disconnecting) and any disconnected harnesses are supported to avoid any
undue strain at the terminals. When replacing the component keep oily hands away from
electrical connection areas and push connectors home until any locking tabs fully engage.
FREELANDER 03MY1.3

INTRODUCTION
Battery Disconnecting
Before disconnecting the battery, switch off all electrical equipment. If the radio is to be
serviced, ensure the security code has been deactivated. When the battery is disconnected,
certain data such as radio code and clock time will be lost.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to electrical components, ALWAYS disconnect the
battery when working on the vehicle electrical systems. The earth lead must be
disconnected first and reconnected last. Always ensure that battery leads are routed
correctly and are not close to any potential chafing points.
Battery Charging
Recharge the battery out of the vehicle and keep the top well ventilated. While being
charged or discharged, and for approximately fifteen minutes afterwards, batteries emit
hydrogen gas. This gas is inflammable.
Always ensure any battery charging area is well ventilated and that every precaution is taken
to avoid flames and sparks.
Disciplines
Switch off ignition prior to making any connection or disconnection in the system as electrical
surge caused by disconnecting 'live' connections can damage electrical components.
Ensure hands and work surfaces are clean and free of grease, swarf, etc. as grease collects
dirt which can cause tracking or high-resistance contacts.
When handling printed circuit boards, treat them as you would a disc – hold by the edges
only; note that some electrical components are susceptible to body static.
Connectors should never be subjected to forced removal or refit, especially inter-board
connectors. Damaged contacts will cause short-circuit and open-circuit conditions.
Prior to commencing testing, and periodically during testing, touch a good earth, i.e. cigar
lighter socket, to discharge body static as some electrical components are vulnerable to
static electricity.
Grease for Electrical Connectors
Some under bonnet and under body connectors are protected against corrosion by the
application of a special grease during production. Should connectors of this type be
disturbed, repaired, or replaced, a grease of this type, available under part number BAU
5811, should again be applied. Do not apply grease to any connectors that do not have
grease applied as standard.
NOTE: The use of other greases must be avoided as they can migrate into relays, switches,
etc. contaminating the contacts and leading to intermittent operation or failure.

INTRODUCTION
FAULT DIAGNOSIS
General
When diagnosing an electrical fault, follow the steps below:
1. Read the circuit description appropriate to the reported fault to ensure a good
understanding of circuit operation.
2. Study the power distribution, fuse details and earth distribution diagrams and identify
other circuits which share fuses and/or earth points. Check whether these circuits
operate correctly.
3. Using the photographs contained in the Connector section, locate a point on the circuit
(approximately half way between supply and earth) which is easily accessible.
4. Check that the pin-out details of the connector are correct and that the correct signals
exist at the correct terminals.
5. Using the marker pen supplied (or other suitable non-permanent marker pen), mark
the parts of the circuit you have verified.
6. Continue to the next point on the circuit which is easiest to access and repeat the
above.
7. Continue with this approach until a fault is found, rectify the fault and then verify that
the circuit operates correctly.
CAUTION: Never probe directly into the front face of a connector. This can damage
the terminal and cause a failure. Always probe the back of a terminal, taking care not
to damage the terminal or any seals.
Never probe wire insulation. On small diameter cables this can cut the conductors. It
may also allow moisture into the cable, causing corrosion.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
ANTI-THEFT ALARM AND CENTRAL DOOR LOCKING (CDL)
DESCRIPTION
General
The anti-theft alarm system is controlled by the Central Control Unit (CCU), which is
mounted on the rear of the passenger compartment fuse box. The alarm can be armed and
disarmed using the vehicle key or remote handset. The two main features of the alarm
system are:
z Perimetric protection.
z Volumetric protection.
Perimetric Protection
Perimetric protection secures against intrusion through the bonnet, doors, tail door or roof.
The CCU monitors the state of the hinged panels after the alarm system has been armed. If
a panel is opened after the alarm has been armed, the alarm will be triggered.
Switches are incorporated into the door latch assemblies, the bonnet, and the tail door.
Three door vehicles also have a 'roof on' switch, to inform the CCU if the hard back has been
removed, or the soft back is opened.
Perimetric protection is initiated after a valid alarm request is received. If any panel is open
when perimetric protection is activated (other than the roof), the alarm will enter a partially
armed state.
Volumetric Protection
Volumetric protection provides protection for the vehicle interior. A volumetric sensor
monitors the vehicle interior space and activates the alarm if unauthorised movement is
detected. The volumetric sensor is located in a central position, behind the headlining.
A fifteen second delay is initiated after the alarm has been armed before signals from the
volumetric sensor are interpreted as an intrusion. This precaution is included in the CCU
software to avoid accidental or nuisance triggering of the alarm.
For a detailed description of the anti-theft alarm system, refer to the Security section of the
System Description and Operation Workshop manual.
FREELANDER 03MY4.1

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
OPERATION
General
Feed from the positive battery terminal (C0192) is supplied to the horn relay, fuse 6, fuse 7,
fuse 10, and fusible link 4 (C0632) on an R wire. All are located in the engine compartment
fuse box. Fuse 10 (C0575) provides a constant battery feed to the inertia switch (C0123) on
a G wire. Fuse 7 (C0576) provides a constant battery feed to the hazard warning relay
located in the passenger compartment fuse box (C0581) on an NO wire.
Fusible link 4 (C0574) provides a constant battery feed to the CCU (C0593) and fuse 14 of
the passenger compartment fuse box (C0581) on an NW wire. Fuse 14 (C0589) provides a
feed to the alarm LED located in the instrument pack (C0230) and the transponder coil
mounted around the ignition barrel (C0049) on P wires. Fuse 14 (C0583) also provides a
feed to the diagnostic socket (C0040) and the roof on switch (3 door vehicles only) (C0497)
on P wires.
Door Switches
In order for the perimetric alarm system to operate, the CCU monitors the condition of the
door switches (including the tail door switch). The door switches are open circuit when the
doors are closed. When the doors are opened, the switches close and an earth path is
created. The CCU (C0428) is connected to the door switches as follows:
z To the driver door switch (C0441) on a PS then PW wire.
z To the passenger door switch (C0441) on a PW wire.
z To the LH rear door switch (C0442) on a PW wire.
z To the RH rear door switch (C0442) on a PW wire.
z To the tail door switch (C0616) on a BO wire.
NOTE: Both front and both rear door switches have the same connector number as they
utilise the same harness.
The CCU treats the passenger door, and both rear doors as a single item. All door switches
are earthed on B wires.
Bonnet Switch
In addition to the door switches, the CCU also monitors the condition of the bonnet switch.
The bonnet switch is a normally open switch. When the bonnet is opened, the switch closes
and an earth path is created.
The CCU (C0428) provides a feed to the bonnet switch (C0007) on an RP wire. The switch
(C0007) is earthed on a B wire. By monitoring the state of the bonnet switch, the CCU can
determine if the bonnet has been opened illegally and sound the alarm if necessary.
4.2FREELANDER 03MY
Page 28
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Roof On Switch (3 Door Vehicles Only)
The roof on switch (C0497) is located on the RH 'D' post, and is provided a constant battery
feed by fuse 14 of the passenger compartment fuse box (C0583) on a P wire. The roof on
switch is closed when the hard back is fitted, or the soft back is in the fitted position. In this
instance, current flows across the switch (C0497) to the CCU (C0428) on a PY wire.
If the hard back is removed (or the soft back is folded down) the roof on switch becomes
open circuit, and the feed to the CCU is removed. By monitoring the state of the roof on
switch, the CCU can determine if the roof has been opened illegally and sound the alarm if
necessary.
Anti-theft Alarm LED
Fuse 14 of the passenger compartment fuse box (C0589) provides a constant battery feed
to the anti-theft alarm LED mounted in the instrument pack (C0230) on a P wire. The earth
path for the LED (C0235) is controlled by the CCU (C0592) on a UK wire. By switching the
earth path on and off, the CCU can control the flashing sequence of the LED.
Inertia Switch
Fuse 10 of the engine compartment fuse box (C0575) provides a constant battery feed to
the inertia switch (C0123) on a G wire. The inertia switch is a normally closed switch. The
inertia switch (C0123) is connected to the CCU (C0428) via the engine compartment fuse
box by a GU then UG wire.
When the inertia switch is tripped the switch opens, cutting the voltage supply to the CCU.
Sensing this, the CCU unlocks all doors and cuts the electrical supply to the fuel pump.
NOTE: The CCU will only unlock all doors if the ignition is switched on, and the anti-theft
alarm isn't armed.
For more information on the fuel pump, refer to the relevant Charging and Starting section
of this manual.

Page 29
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Volumetric Sensor
The CCU (C0429) provides a feed to the volumetric sensor (C0358 on 3 door vehicles,
C1896 on 5 door vehicles) on a WB wire. When the alarm is armed, the volumetric sensor
(C0358 on 3 door vehicles, C1896 on 5 door vehicles) returns a signal feed back to the CCU
(C0428) on an NB wire. If the sensor detects movement within the vehicle, it withdraws the
signal feed to the CCU. Sensing this, the CCU will sound the alarm.
The CCU (C0429) also provides a gain setting signal to the volumetric sensor (C0358 on 3
door vehicles, C1896 on 5 door vehicles) on an SW wire. This enables the volumetric sensor
to determine if it is looking at the interior of a 3 door vehicle or a 5 door vehicle and adjust
its sensitivity accordingly.
The volumetric sensor (C0358 on 3 door vehicles, C1896 on 5 door vehicles) is earthed on
a B wire.
Radio Frequency (RF) Receiver
The CCU (C0429) provides a feed to the RF receiver (C0359) on a Y wire. The RF receiver
(C0359) provides a 12 V feed back to the CCU (C0428) on an S wire. When an RF signal is
received from the remote handset, the receiver switches the feed back to the CCU between
12 V and 0 V at high frequency.
The RF receiver (C0359) is earthed on a B wire.
Master Lock Switch
The master lock switch is a non-latching rocker switch mounted on the centre console, below
the radio. When the bottom (lock) half of the switch is pressed, current is able to flow from
the CCU (C0428) to the master lock switch (C0328) on a BN wire. Current flows across the
closed switch contacts to earth on a B wire. The CCU will now lock all the doors.
NOTE: The alarm will not be armed when using the master lock switch.
When the top (unlock) half of the switch is pressed, current is able to flow from the CCU
(C0428) to the master lock switch (C0328) on a BK wire. Current flows across the closed
switch contacts to earth on a B wire. The CCU will now unlock all the doors.
Door Lock Motors
When the CCU receives a request to lock or unlock the doors, it powers the door lock motors
as follows:

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
ENGINE IMMOBILISATION
DESCRIPTION
General
The function of the engine immobilisation system is to prevent unauthorised starting of the
vehicle. The system is controlled by the immobilisation ECU, which is located behind the
centre of the fascia. Re-mobilisation is achieved via a transponder in the vehicle key, which
is read by a transponder coil when the ignition switch is turned to the 'auxiliary' position. The
transponder coil is mounted around the ignition barrel.
For a detailed description of the engine immobilisation system, refer to the Security section
of the System Description and Operation Workshop manual.
OPERATION
General
Feed from the positive battery terminal (C0192) is supplied to fusible link 1, fusible link 3,
and fusible link 4 of the engine compartment fuse box (C0632) on an R wire. Fusible link 4
(C0574) is connected to fuse 32 of the passenger compartment fuse box (C0587) by an NW
wire. Fuse 32 (C0584) provides a constant battery feed to the immobilisation ECU (C0059)
on a PN wire.
Fusible link 3 (C0571) is connected to the ignition switch (C0028) by an N wire. When the
ignition switch is turned to the 'auxiliary' position, current flows across the switch (C0028) to
fuse 11 of the passenger compartment fuse box (C0588) on a PS wire. Fuse 11 (C0580)
provides an auxiliary ignition feed to the Central Control Unit (CCU) (C0430) on an LGW
wire.
When the ignition switch is turned to the 'crank' position, current flows across the switch
(C0028) to fuse 5 of the passenger compartment fuse box (C0588) on a WR wire. Fuse 5
(C0581) provides a feed to the immobilisation ECU (C0059) on a WR wire. The
immobilisation ECU (C0059) is earthed on a B wire.
Immobilisation ECU Inputs/Outputs
The immobilisation ECU receives inputs and outputs from a number of different components
to ensure the right criteria are met before it will allow the engine to be started.
FREELANDER 03MY4.9
Page 35
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Transponder Coil
The transponder coil (C0049) mounted around the ignition barrel, and is connected to the
engine immobilisation ECU (C0059) by KB and KG wires. Both connections between the
immobilisation ECU and the transponder coil switch between both inputs and outputs. The
transponder coil reads the vehicle identification information contained within the key
transponder and relays it to the immobilisation ECU. The immobilisation ECU (C0059) then
compares this information with the vehicle identification information received from the
Central Control Unit (CCU) (C0429) on a G wire.
Central Control Unit (CCU)
The CCU (C0429) outputs a locking status signal to the immobilisation ECU (C0059) on a
KN wire. If the vehicle has been superlocked or the anti-theft alarm system is armed, the
immobilisation ECU issues a request for the CCU to remove both before it will allow the
engine to be cranked.
NOTE: When the CCU receives a 'remove superlock' signal from the immobilisation ECU, it
will unlock the driver door. Superlocking will be removed from the remaining doors if single
point entry is selected.
For more information on superlocking and the anti-theft alarm system, refer to the Anti-theft
Alarm and Central Door Locking (CDL) section of this manual.
+ ANTI-THEFT ALARM AND CENTRAL DOOR LOCKING (CDL).
The CCU also outputs an ignition status signal, informing the immobilisation ECU when the
ignition switch has been turned to the 'ignition' position. The CCU (C0428) transmits this
signal to the immobilisation ECU (C0059) on an ON wire.
Gearbox Solenoid (Automatic Vehicles Only)
When the gear selector lever is in the Park (P) or Neutral (N) position, the gearbox solenoid
(C0244) provides a feed to the immobilisation ECU (C0059) on a W wire. If the selector lever
is moved to any other position, the feed is removed and the immobilisation ECU will not allow
the engine to be cranked.
Engine Control Module (ECM)
If the correct re-mobilisation code is received from the remote handset, the immobilisation
ECU (C0059) transmits a rolling code to the ECM (C0331 on Td4 vehicles, C0913 on K
Series vehicles, C0371 on KV6 vehicles) on a YR wire. The ECM (C0603 on Td4 vehicles,
C0913 on K Series vehicles, C0371 on KV6 vehicles) will now energise the main relay by
providing an earth path for the relay coil (C0576) on a WK wire.
4.10FREELANDER 03MY
Page 36
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Starter Relay
If the vehicle has been successfully re-mobilised, the immobilisation ECU (C0059) provides
a feed to the starter relay coil (C0576) on an RW wire. The relay coil (C0576) is earthed on
a B wire. The energised relay allows a feed from fusible link 7 to flow across the relay switch
contacts (C0572) to the starter motor (C0179) on an NR wire (NR then B on Td4 vehicles).
For more details of starter motor operation, refer to the Charging and Starting – Td4 , Charging and Starting – K Series or Charging and Starting – KV6 sections of this
manual.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
WINDOWS
DESCRIPTION
Door Windows
The front and rear electrically operated windows are opened and closed by using the
appropriate non-latching switch mounted on the centre console. Rear window switches (if
fitted) are also located on the rear door trim casings. Rear window operation can be
controlled by the driver by pressing the rear window inhibit switch, which is also mounted on
the centre console.
The window lift system is controlled by the window lift ECU, which is located beneath the
centre console, and will only operate when the ignition switch is in the 'ignition' position.
NOTE: When the ignition is switched off, the windows will still operate for approximately 40
seconds. This time out sequence will cease as soon as any of the doors are opened. This
feature is not active on the tail door window.
Tail Door Window
The tail door window is opened and closed by using the non-latching switch mounted on the
centre console, below the radio/cassette player. Tail door window operation is controlled by
the Central Control Unit (CCU), and will only operate when the ignition switch is in the
'ignition' position.
NOTE: The 40 second time out function (see above) does not operate on the tail door
window. Tail door window operation will cease as soon as the ignition is switched off.
The tail door window can also be lowered using the remote handset. Pressing and holding
the unlock button for approximately 2 seconds will inform the CCU to fully lower the tail door
window. The tail door window can be raised by inserting the key in the tail door lock and
turning it clockwise.
NOTE: If the key is released before the tail door window has reached the top of its travel,
the CCU will lower the window back to the fully open position.
When the tail door handle is operated, a switch in the door handle informs the CCU to delay
opening the door and to lower the window approximately 17 mm. This prevents the tail door
from being opened with the window still engaged in the seal recess. When the tail door is
closed, the CCU lifts the window to engage with the seal recess.
NOTE: When the tail door is open, the tail door window can only be lowered. The window
will only raise once the tail door is closed.
4.12FREELANDER 03MY
Page 38
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
If the rear wiper is operational, the tail door window will not lower until the wiper is on a
downward stroke. When the window is in the lowered position, wiper operation will be
suspended. The tail door window will be disabled if any of the following occur:
z The soft back is lowered.
z The soft back is removed.
z The hard back is removed.
Tail Door Window Calibration
When the CCU is changed from transit mode to a valid market mode, and after the vehicle
battery has been disconnected, the tail door window must be calibrated to provide the CCU
with a window position datum. When the CCU mode is changed to a valid market, or the
battery reconnected, the CCU automatically begins the calibration process by energising the
down contacts in the window lift relay module until the window lift motor stalls, to ensure the
window is fully down. The calibration procedure is completed as follows:
1. Ensure the tail door is closed, the vehicle unlocked and the alarm disarmed.
2. On three door models, ensure the roof is on (hard back) or lowered and secured (soft
back).
3. With the ignition on, use the console switch or the vehicle key in the tail door lock to
raise the window until the motor stalls with the window fully closed.
4. Switch off the ignition.
NOTE: If the calibration procedure is unsuccessful, the CCU will sound a warning for
approximately 0.8 seconds and fully lower the window.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Roof On Switch (3 Door Vehicles Only)
The roof on switch (C0497) is located on the RH 'D' post, and is provided a constant battery
feed by fuse 14 of the passenger compartment fuse box (C0583) on a P wire. The roof on
switch is closed when the hard back is fitted, or the soft back is in the fitted position. In this
instance current flows across the switch (C0497) to the CCU (C0428) on a PY wire.
If the hard back is removed (or the soft back is folded down) the roof on switch becomes
open circuit, and the feed to the CCU is removed. The CCU will now inhibit operation of the
tail door window.
Tail Door Window Switch
The tail door window switch is located on the centre console. The CCU (C0428) provides
feeds to the switch (C0354) on a BR wire and a BK wire. When the switch is moved to the
down position, current supplied to the switch on the BR wire flows across the closed switch
contacts to earth on a B wire. When the CCU registers this earth, it powers the tail door
window down.
When the switch is moved to the up position, current supplied by the CCU on the BK wire
flows across the closed switch contacts to earth on a B wire. When the CCU registers this
earth, it powers the tail door window up.
Up
When up operation of the tail door window is requested, the CCU (C0429) provides a feed
to the window lift relay module (C0043) on an RU wire. The relay module (C0043) is now
able to provide a feed to the window motor (C0612) on a UB wire. Current flows across the
motor windings (C0612) and back to the relay module (C0043) on a UG wire. The relay
module (C0043) is earthed on a B wire.
Down
When down operation of the tail door window is requested, the CCU (C0429) provides a feed
to the window lift relay module (C0043) on an RG wire. The relay module (C0043) is now
able to provide a feed to the window motor (C0612) on a UG wire. Current flows across the
motor windings (C0612) and back to the relay module (C0043) on a UB wire. The relay
module (C0043) is earthed on a B wire.
Tail Door Window Motor
The CCU needs to know the position of the tail door window at all times (see Description).
To do this, the CCU (C0429) provides a feed to a hall effect sensor located within the tail
door window motor (C0612) on an SP wire. The sensor (C0612) is provided an earth by the
CCU (C0430) on a KB wire. The hall effect sensor (C0612) provides a signal feed to the
CCU (C0429) on an SR wire, informing it of the position of the tail door window.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Tail Door Open Switch
The CCU (C0428) monitors the condition of the tail door exterior handle by providing a feed
to the tail door open switch (C0615) on an N wire. When the tail door handle is operated,
current flows across the switch (C0615) to earth on a B wire. When the CCU registers this
earth, it delays opening the tail door and lowers the tail door window approximately 17 mm.
The CCU (C0428) also monitors the condition of the tail door barrel switch (C0615) on a US
wire. When the key is turned inside the barrel, current flows across the switch (C0615) to
earth on a B wire. If the CCU registers a continuous earth path for approximately 2 seconds,
it will lower the tail door glass.

DESCRIPTION
General
An electrically operated sunroof is fitted to 5 door vehicles only. The sunroof will only operate
when the ignition switch is in the 'ignition' position, and is controlled via a non-latching rocker
switch mounted on the centre console.
When the upper half of the switch is pressed and held, the sunroof will move to its tilt
position. When the lower half of the switch is pressed and held, the sunroof will return to its
closed position. If the lower half of the switch is pressed and held while the sunroof is in its
fully closed position, the sunroof will slide to its fully open position. The sunroof is closed by
pressing the upper half of the switch.
OPERATION
General
Feed from the positive battery terminal (C0192) is supplied to fusible link 3 and fusible link
4 of the engine compartment fuse box (C0632) on an R wire. Fusible link 4 (C0574) provides
a constant battery feed to the auxiliary relay (C0587) on an NW wire. The auxiliary relay is
located in the passenger compartment fuse box.
NOTE: The auxiliary relay also controls operation of the heated seats.
Fusible link 3 (C0571) is connected to the ignition switch (C0028) by an N wire. When the
ignition switch is turned to the 'ignition' position, current flows across the switch (C0028) to
fuse 8 of the passenger compartment fuse box (C0588) on an NW wire. Fuse 8 provides an
ignition feed to the Central Control Unit (CCU) (C0593). The CCU is mounted directly onto
the rear of the passenger compartment fuse box.

Alternator
The battery (C0192) provides a permanent feed to the alternator (C0183) via the starter
motor (C0631) on an R then N wire. Fuse 19 of the passenger compartment fuse box
(C0581) provides an ignition feed to the alternator (C0226) on a W then GN wire.
When the engine is turned over, the alternator (C0226) supplies the ECM (C0606) a Pulse
Width Modulated (PWM) signal on a U wire. The ECM uses this PWM signal to calculate the
electrical load on the alternator, and controls engine idle speed accordingly.
When the engine is started, the magnetised rotor within the stator windings generate 3
phase alternating current (ac) and voltage that rises rapidly with rotor speed. The field
diodes in the rectifier pack convert the ac current into direct current (dc). Output current from
the field diodes supplements the initial current flowing through the field windings. This
causes an increase in the magnetic influence of the rotor, resulting in self-exitation of the
alternator. The field current increases with rotor speed and thus increases the generated
current and voltage until the alternator is fully excited. The alternator (C0183) charges the
battery (C0192) by providing current on an N then R wire.
Ignition/No charge Warning Lamp
Fuse 8 of the passenger compartment fuse box (C0589) provides an ignition feed to the

Charging
Alternator
Fusible link 1 of the engine compartment fuse box (C0826) provides a constant battery feed
to the alternator (C0183) on an R wire. Fuse 19 of the passenger compartment fuse box
(C0581) provides an ignition feed to the alternator (C0185) on a W wire.
When the engine is started, the magnetised rotor within the stator windings generate 3
phase alternating current (ac) and voltage that rises rapidly with rotor speed. The field
diodes in the rectifier pack convert the ac current into direct current (dc). Output current from
the field diodes supplements the initial current flowing through the field windings. This
causes an increase in the magnetic influence of the rotor, resulting in self-exitation of the
alternator. The field current increases with rotor speed and thus increases the generated
current and voltage until the alternator is fully excited.
When the engine is running, the alternator (C0185) supplies the ECM (C0914) with a Pulse
Width Modulated (PWM) signal on a WR wire. The ECM uses the PWM signal to calculate
electrical load on the alternator, and controls idle speed accordingly.
The alternator (C0183) charges the battery by providing current via fusible link 1 of the
engine compartment fuse box (C0826 & C0632) to the battery positive terminal (C0192) on
an R wire.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
CRUISE CONTROL – TD4 & KV6 (NORTH AMERICA)
DESCRIPTION
General
Cruise control is switched on by pressing the cruise control master switch mounted on the
centre console. The 'Set +' and 'Res' switches mounted on the steering wheel allow the
driver to either set the vehicle speed as required or resume the last cruising speed set.
The cruise control system uses mechanical, electrical and vacuum operated devices to
maintain vehicle speed at a setting selected by the driver. As vehicle speed changes due to
changes in road gradients, so the cruise control ECU operates the cruise control pump,
continually moving the cruise control actuator to maintain the set vehicle speed.
Should the driver wish to increase the speed of the vehicle, the 'Set +' switch should be
pressed and held. The vehicle will accelerate until the switch is released. As the 'Set +'
switch is released, the cruise control ECU will store the new cruise speed in its memory.
With cruise control switched on, it is possible to press the accelerator pedal and accelerate
through the memorised set speed. When the accelerator is released, the cruise control ECU
will automatically return the vehicle to its set speed.
Note: The cruise control system will only operate between speeds of 22 mph (35 kph) and
125 mph (201 kph).
Cruise control operation can be suspended by one of the following ways:
z By pressing the 'Res' switch.
z By pressing the brake pedal.
z The gearbox is placed in park, neutral, or reverse.
z Hill Descent Control (HDC) is active.
z Engine rev's are too high.
Under all these conditions, the cruise control set speed will be memorised. Cruise control
operation can be resumed by pressing the 'Res' switch.
Cruise control operation can be cancelled in one of two ways:
z By pressing the cruise control master switch located on the centre console.
z By switching the ignition off.
In both these cases, the cruise control set speed will be lost.
Warning: Do not switch off the vehicle ignition unless the vehicle is stationary and
the handbrake is applied.

section of this manual.
+ ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS).
Set + Switch
The non latching Set + switch (C1254) is provided a feed via the horn relay (C0576) on a PY
wire. When the switch is pulled back against spring pressure, the switch contacts close and
a feed is provided to the cruise control ECU (C0239) via the rotary coupler (C0082) on a RW
wire.
If cruise control is active, and the switch is operated for the first time, the cruise control ECU
will store the current vehicle speed in its memory and maintain that speed.
NOTE: The cruise control ECU will only store and maintain the vehicle speed if it is within
the operating limits given in the 'Description' section above.
If the switch is tapped a second time, the ECU will increase the vehicle speed by 1 mph. If
the switch is pulled back and held against spring pressure, the vehicle will accelerate until
the switch is released. The final vehicle speed in both instances will be stored in the cruise
control ECU memory.
Res Switch
The non latching Res switch (C1254) is provided a feed via the horn relay (C0576) on a PY
wire. When the switch is pulled back against spring pressure, the switch contacts close and
a feed is provided to the cruise control ECU (C0239) via the rotary coupler (C0082) on a UW
wire.
If the Res switch is pulled back against spring pressure, the cruise control ECU will alter
vehicle speed to reflect the vehicle speed held within its memory. If the Res switch is pulled
back for a second time, cruise control operation will be suspended
NOTE: If a road speed value is not held within the cruise control ECU memory, the ECU will
not respond to the Res switch input. To enter a vehicle speed into the ECU memory, refer
to the 'Set + Switch' section above.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Brake Pedal Sensor
The Hall effect brake pedal sensor (C0652) is provided an ignition feed from fuse 35 of the
passenger compartment fuse box (C0580) on a W wire. The sensor (C0652) is earthed on
a B wire. When the brake pedal is in its normal position, the sensor provides the cruise
control interface unit (C1959) a low voltage (between approximately 0V and 2V) on a PG
wire. When the brake pedal is pressed, this voltage rises to between approximately 6V and
battery voltage. When the interface unit registers this rise in voltage, it suspends cruise
control operation.
The brake pedal sensor (C0652) also provides a brake pedal status signal to the cruise
control interface unit (C1959) on a GR wire.
Interface Unit
The interface unit (C1959) provides a feed to the cruise control ECU (C0239) on a PG wire
if the following conditions exist:
z The cruise control master switch is depressed.
z The brake pedal is not depressed.
z HDC is not activated.
z The gear selector lever is not in the park, neutral, or reverse positions.
z Engine speed is below 6,496 rpm.
The cruise control ECU uses the feed provided by the interface unit to enable the cruise
control pump. For more details on interface unit operation, refer to the Interface Unit
section below.
Interface Unit
Fuse 35 of the passenger compartment fuse box (C0580) provides an ignition feed to the
interface unit (C1959) on a W wire. The interface unit is earthed on a pair of B wires, and
receives inputs from a number of different components as follows:
Cruise Control Master Switch
When the cruise control master switch is depressed, it provides a feed to the interface unit
(C1959) on a WY wire.
Brake Pedal Sensor
When the brake pedal is in its normal position, the sensor (C0652) provides the interface
unit (C1959) a low voltage (between approximately 0V and 2V) on GR and PG wires. When
the brake pedal is pressed, this voltage rises to between approximately 6V and battery
voltage.
FREELANDER 03MY4.55

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Engine Control Module (ECM)
The ECM (C0371) provides a feed to the interface unit (C1959) on a BU wire if the following
conditions exist:
z HDC is not activated.
z The gear selector lever is not in the park, neutral, or reverse positions.
z Engine speed is below 6,496 rpm.
For more information on the Siemens ECM, refer to the Engine Management Systems –
Siemens section of the System Description and Operation Workshop manual.
Cruise Control Pump
When all conditions for cruise control activation have been met, the cruise control ECU
(C0239) provides a feed to the cruise control pump motor (C0228) on a WU wire. The pump
motor creates a vacuum in the pump actuator. For a detailed description of actuator
operation, refer to the Engine Management Systems – Siemens section of the Workshop
manual.
Current flow across the pump motor is controlled by the ECU (C0239) providing a varying
Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) signal to the other side of the pump motor (C0228) on a BR
wire. When the correct vehicle speed has been reached, the ECU (C0239) replaces the
PWM feed with a continuous feed. As the potential difference across the pump motor is now
0V, the pump motor stops operating.
To maintain the vacuum in the actuator, both the control and dump valves are closed by the
ECU. To close the valves, the ECU (C0239) provides a feed to the control and dump valves
(C0228) on a WU wire. Current flows across the control valve (C0228) to the ECU (C0239)
on a PY wire. Current flows across the dump valve (C0228) to the ECU (C0239) on a BR
wire.
NOTE: Both the control valve and the dump valve are normally open valves.
When a decrease in speed is requested, the control valve is opened to reduce the
depression within the actuator. This is done by the ECU (C0239) providing a PWM signal to
the control valve (C0228) on a PY wire. When the correct speed has been achieved, the
PWM signal is withdrawn.
When cruise is cancelled, the ECU (C0239) withdraws the feed to the dump valve (C0228)
on a WU wire. The dump valve now opens, allowing atmospheric pressure into the actuator.
4.56FREELANDER 03MY
Page 82
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Brake Pedal Switch
As a safety feature, the dump valve is opened if the brake pedal is depressed. If cruise
control is active and the brake pedal is pressed, the brake pedal switch (C0075) provides a
feed to the dump valve (C0228) on a GP wire. As the potential difference across the valve
is 0V, the valve opens allowing atmospheric pressure into the actuator.
Electronic Automatic Transmission (EAT) ECU
When all conditions for cruise control activation have been met, the cruise control ECU
(C0239) provides a feed to the EAT ECU (C0932) on a WU wire. When the EAT ECU
receives this feed, it enters its cruise control mode. For more information on EAT operation
refer to the Electronic Automatic Transmission (EAT) section of this manual.
+ ELECTRONIC AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (EAT).
Instrument Pack
When all conditions for cruise control activation have been met, the cruise control ECU
(C0239) provides a feed to the cruise control LED mounted within the instrument pack
(C0230) on a WU wire. The cruise control LED is provided an earth by the instrument pack
(C0230) on a B wire.

provides an ignition feed to the transmission inhibit switch (C0244) on a W wire.
FREELANDER 03MY4.59
Page 85
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
EAT ECU
The EAT ECU monitors the operation of the automatic gearbox via four sensors:
z The temperature of the automatic transmission fluid (ATF) is measured by the fluid
temperature sensor. The fluid temperature sensor (C0243) receives a feed from the
EAT ECU (C0932) on a WK wire. The temperature sensor return (C0243) to the EAT
ECU (C0932) is via a KB wire. As the temperature of the ATF rises, so the resistance
of the sensor decreases. The EAT ECU registers this drop in resistance and calculates
the temperature of the ATF accordingly. For more information on the fluid temperature
sensor, refer to the Automatic Gearbox – Jatco section of the System Description
and Operation Workshop manual.
z Vehicle speed is measured by the vehicle speed sensor. The vehicle speed sensor
(C0243) is connected to the EAT ECU (C0932) by a U wire. The speed sensor creates
a sinusoidal waveform, with each positive phase of the waveform representing one
tooth on the parking gear (19 per engine revolution). The EAT ECU uses this waveform
to calculate vehicle speed. The sensor return (C0243) to the EAT ECU (C0932) is via
a W then KB wire. For more information on the vehicle speed sensor, refer to the
Automatic Gearbox – Jatco section of the System Description and Operation
Workshop manual.
z Input shaft speed into the gearbox is measured by the turbine sensor. The turbine
sensor (C0243) is connected to the EAT ECU (C0932) by an R wire. The turbine
sensor creates a sinusoidal waveform, with 16 positive phases representing one input
shaft revolution. The EAT ECU uses this signal along with a vehicle speed signal to
calculate if the correct gear has been selected. The sensor return (C0243) to the EAT
ECU (C0932) is via a U then KB wire. For more information on the turbine sensor, refer
to the Automatic Gearbox – Jatco section of the System Description and Operation
Workshop manual.
z The internal, or intermediate, transmission speed is measured by the intermediate
sensor. The intermediate sensor (C0243) is connected to the EAT ECU (C0932) by an
R wire. The intermediate sensor creates a sinusoidal waveform, with each positive
phase of the waveform representing one tooth of the output gear (49 per revolution).
The EAT ECU uses this signal to ensure the correct gear is engaged, and to monitor
the amount of slip within the gearbox. The sensor return (C0243) to the EAT ECU
(C0932) is via a B then KB wire. For more information on the intermediate sensor, refer
to the Automatic Gearbox – Jatco section of the System Description and Operation
Workshop manual.

z The gear selector lever is in position '1' or 'R'.
z The HDC switch is depressed.
z The throttle pedal is released.
The EAT ECU (C0932) communicates with the ABS ECU (C0501) via the CAN-BUS on YB
(High) and YN (Low) wires. For more information on the CAN-BUS, refer to the
Communication Databuses section of the System Description and Operation Workshop
manual.
Fluid Pressure Control
Fluid pressure within the automatic gearbox is controlled by the Line Pressure duty solenoid.
When required, the EAT ECU (C0932) provides a Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) signal to
the Line Pressure duty solenoid (C0243) on a Y wire. The solenoid (C0243) is earthed via
the EAT ECU (C0932) on an SB wire. For more details on fluid pressure control, refer to the
Automatic Gearbox – Jatco section of the System Description and Operation Workshop
manual.
Torque Converter Lock-Up
When the gearbox is in 4th or 5th gear, and the EAT ECU registers a high vehicle speed
combined with a small throttle angle, the EAT ECU will lock the torque converter. This will
enable maximum power to be transmitted to the road wheels. When this occurs, the EAT
ECU (C0932) provides a PWM signal to the Lock-Up duty solenoid (C0243) on a U wire. The
solenoid (C0243) is earthed via the EAT ECU (C0932) on an SB wire. For more details on

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)
DESCRIPTION
General
The ABS is a full time, four channel system that gives individual speed control to all four
wheels to provide the vehicle with anti-lock braking (ABS), Electronic Traction Control
(ETC), and Hill Descent Control (HDC). The systems are controlled by the ABS ECU, which
is mounted on the rear of the ABS modulator. The ABS ECU also controls the front to rear
brake balance by Electronic Braking force Distribution (EBD). This maximises vehicle
stability under braking.
For a detailed description of ABS, ETC HDC, and EBD, refer to the Brakes section of the
System Description and Operation Workshop manual.
The ABS modulator uses the CAN-BUS to communicate with other ECU's to enable it to
control braking more efficiently. For more information on the CAN-BUS, refer to the
Communication Databuses section of the System Description and Operation Workshop
manual.
OPERATION
General
Feed from the positive battery terminal (C0192) is supplied to fusible link 1, fusible link 3,

z To the LH rear wheel speed sensor (C0502) on a G wire.
z To the RH rear wheel speed sensor (C0503) on a W wire.
The wheel speed sensors provide the ABS ECU with a square wave form signal. By
measuring the frequency of the wave form, the ABS ECU can calculate the speed of the road
wheel. The sensors provide the ABS ECU (C0501) with wheel speed signals as follows:
z From the LH front wheel speed sensor (C0516) on an RB wire.
z From the RH front wheel speed sensor (C0517) on a YB wire.
z From the LH rear wheel speed sensor (C0502) on a GB wire.
z From the RH rear wheel speed sensor (C0503) on a WB wire.
If the ABS ECU detects wheel deceleration is too great, it will initiate the ABS. If the ABS
ECU detects that wheel speed is greater than vehicle speed, it will initiate ETC. If HDC is
operational, the ABS ECU will control vehicle speed at 7 mph (11 km/h) by applying the
brakes where necessary. For more information on ABS, ETC, and HDC, refer to the Brakes
section of the System Description and Operation Workshop manual.

FREELANDER 03MY4.73
Page 99
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Fusible link 1 is connected in series with fusible link 2, fuse 8, and fuse 9 which are also
located in the engine compartment fuse box. Fuse 8 (C0576) provides a constant battery
feed to the heater blower relay (C0153) on a GN then GW wire. Fuse 9 provides a constant
battery feed to the compressor clutch relay, which is also located in the engine compartment
fuse box.
Fusible link 2 (C0571) is connected to the ignition switch (C0028) by an NR wire. When the
ignition switch is turned to the 'ignition' position, current flows across the switch (C0028) to
fuse 4 of the passenger compartment fuse box (C0588) on an SU wire. Fuse 4 (C0586)
provides an ignition feed to the following on G then LGS wires:
z The blower motor switch (C0058).
z The fresh/recirculated air switch (C0750).
z The fresh/recirculated air motor (C0006).
A/C Master Switch
When the blower switch (C0058) is turned to position 1 or higher, it provides a feed to the A/
C master switch (C0275) and the A/C microswitch (C2575) on SW then B wires. If A/C is
requested, the switch (C0275) provides a feed to the instrument pack (C0233) via the
microswitch (C2575) on a B then SK wire. When the instrument pack receives an A/C
request from the switch, it informs the ECM (C0913 K Series vehicles, C0371 on KV6
vehicles) via the CAN BUS on YN (Low) and YB (High) wires. The A/C master switch is
mounted on the centre console, and is earthed (C0275) on a B wire.
For more information on the CAN BUS, refer to the Communication Databuses section
of the System Description and Operation Workshop manual.
A/C Microswitch
The A/C microswitch (C2575) is mounted on the rear of the heater distribution control knob,
and switches the A/C on automatically when the screen or feet/screen position is selected.
In this instance, the switch contacts close, allowing the blower motor switch (C0058) to
provide a feed to the instrument pack (C0233) on an SW then SK wire, by-passing the A/C
master switch.
Compressor
When the ECM (C0331) receives an A/C request signal via the CAN BUS, it will energise
the A/C compressor clutch relay by providing an earth path for the relay coil (C0576) on a
UB wire. A feed from fuse 9 of the engine compartment fuse box is now able to flow across
the energised relay (C0575) to the compressor clutch (C0127) on an R wire.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Instrument Pack
The instrument pack (C0230) acts as a gateway, relaying CAN messages to and from
different components throughout the vehicle as follows:
Pressure Sensor
The pressure sensor is located in the high pressure A/C line adjacent the compressor, and
replaces the more traditional trinary pressure switch. The instrument pack (C0230) provides
a 5 V reference voltage to the pressure sensor (C1257) on a UO wire. The pressure sensor
(C1257) is provided an earth path via the instrument pack (C0230) on a PB wire.
The pressure sensor (C1257) provides the instrument pack (C0230) a signal feed on a UG
wire. The value of this signal feed is dependent upon the pressure within the A/C system.
This signal is relayed by the instrument pack (C0230) to the ECM (C0331) via the CAN-BUS
on YB (High) and YN (Low) wires. The ECM uses this signal to determine the pressure within
the A/C system, enabling it to carry out the following tasks:
z To provide a safety cut-out function if the pressure within the A/C system goes either
too high or too low.
z To control the speed of the cooling and condenser fans via the cooling fan ECU.
z To help control engine idle speed.
Evaporator Temperature Sensor
The evaporator temperature sensor is used to ensure the evaporator doesn't freeze. The
instrument pack (C0230) provides a feed to the evaporator temperature sensor (C0417) on
a GO wire. The sensor (C0417) is earthed on a B wire. The instrument pack relays the
temperature reading to the ECM (C0331) via the CAN BUS on YB (High) and YN (Low)
wires.
NOTE: The ECM also uses the evaporator temperature sensor signal in conjunction with the
pressure sensor signal to help control engine idle speed.
For more information on CAN messages, refer to the Communication Databuses section
of the System Description and Operation Workshop manual.
Cooling Fan Control Unit
Fusible link 5 of the engine compartment fuse box (C0573) provides a constant battery feed
to the cooling fan control unit (C0208) on an NG wire. Fuse 4 of the engine compartment
fuse box (C0575) provides a feed to the cooling control unit (C1680) on an NK wire when
the main relay is energised (see above). The cooling control unit (C0208) is earthed on a B
wire.
To control cooling fan and condenser fan speed, the ECM (C0331) provides the cooling fan
control unit (C1680) a Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) signal on a UW wire. The frequency
of the pulses supplied by the ECM determines the speed the cooling fan control unit will drive
the cooling fan and condenser fan motors.
