ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8
Function
Input for the rough road signal is measured via pin 34 of connector C0637 of the ECM. The SLABS ECU generates
a PWM signal that varies in accordance with changing road conditions. The rough road PWM signal operates at a
frequency of 2.33 Hz ± 10%. The significance of changes in the PWM signal are shown in the following table:

Hill Descent Control (HDC) signal
The ECM transmits throttle angle, engine torque, engine identification (Td5 or V8), and transmission type (automatic
or manual) data to the SLABS ECU to support the Hill Descent Control system. The information is transmitted via a
0 – 12V pulse width modulated (PWM) signal at a frequency of 179.27 Hz.
Function
The HDC signal output from the ECM is via pin 29 of connector C0636. The ECM generates a PWM signal that varies
in pulse width in accordance with changing throttle angle or engine torque. The throttle angle data is transmitted on
pulses 1, 3, 5 and 37. The engine torque data is transmitted on pulses 2,4,6 and 38. The engine and transmission
information is transmitted on pulse 39. A synchronising pulse is transmitted after every 39th pulse.
The HDC signal can fail in the following ways:
l
Harness or connector damage
A HDC signal failure may be evident from the following:
