Thread: RAVE for TD5 ??

Two questions

- does anyone know anything about Cruise Control ECUs for TD5, specifically whether they use the same HELLA module as the V8 ?

I know the TD5's have a drive by wire throttle.
Is the diesel injector pump electric or just electronically controlled or both ?


Thanks,
Hardy

From RAVE the look like they are the same - and the EPC lists the same part No.

The pump seems to be controlled by the ECM

Hi Hardy
Rave discs in the Markets link,part proceeds help the site.
No Diesels to USA
Electronic fuel pump no "normal" injector pump as such,electronic injectors.
Cant help with the cruise ECU,but can say it seems to be able to extract more HP out of the motor than the loud pedal under load.This is also the same in many heavy trucks so it could be a short energy spurt the cruise ECU has accses too????

Cruise control for the TD5 D2 is a function of the engine ecu.

Yes, sorry - looks like I misread RAVE - and the info in ECP was wrong

............must be my age

The ECM controls the cruise

I thought that cruise controls was controlled by then ABS system (therefore SLABS). Hmmm, how does the ECU know that you are doing a certain speed?

I'll get it right this time

According to RAVE the ECM interfaces with the

EAT if fitted (Electronic Auto Transmission)
SLABS
Serial Port
Instrument Cluster
BCU

......so I guess that's how the ECU knows

Hardy,

- You need the other version of Rave, commonly called Rave#3, which has comprehensive Td5 and cruise details for Disco II.

- Microcat also lists the same ECU part no. for both engines.
