Preface
Since 1986 GINAF Trucks has used the Hydro-Pneumatic Vehicle

Vehicle Suspension (HPVS)
on various models of vehicle. This involved replacing the conventional (mechanical or air)
suspension system by hydraulic cylinders.
In 1991 the Electronic Vehicle Steering (EVS) system was launched, which in combination with
HPVS makes for sophisticated possibilities.
In this documentation attention will be given to the description, functioning, maintenance,

diagnostics and operation of the HPVS and EVS.
1.1 General
This documentation contains information about the HPVS suspension system and the EVS
steering system that were used on GINAF vehicles from about 1991 until 1998. During these
production years different variants of the system were used, i.e. versions 3/3 and v6/0. Both of
these variants will therefore be discussed.
Since the various versions can be used on different GINAF models, only “versions” will be
referred to in this and subsequent chapters. For clarity’s sake, however, section 1.2 gives a
list of which version corresponds to which vehicle model. In exceptional cases, though, this list
may not reect the actual situation!
1.2 List of versions

This documentation is applicable to vehicles in the G series (with DAF 95 cab) and in the M
series (with DAF 85 cab), built between 1991 and 1998.
G-series (10x8) M-series (8x4)
From 1986 to 1992 vehicles with HPVS were built with an electronics unit as illustrated below
below..
The unit is mounted against the rear wall of the cab.

“Old” unit
This documentation is not applicable to vehicles on which this “old” unit is tted.
The documentation does however apply to vehicles built in 1991-1998 that are tted with the
“e3” Electronic Control Unit (ECU), illustrated below, with three blue blocks with set screws
under the cover.
e3 ECU
This ECU is located under the co-driver’s seat or in the fuse

f use box in the dashboard on the co-
driver’s side.
Once it has been ascertained that an e3 ECU is tted, it is important to

t o nd out which
hydraulics version the vehicle has. We have the following variants:
v3/3: HPVS sus
suspension
pension with 2 or 3 axles, 1 of which is a lifting axle. T
The
he lifting axle can be
raised irrespective of the weight of the axle load.
v6/0: HPVS suspension with 2 axles without lifting axle.
Vehicle
Vehicle models with a “-S” in the type designation are tted with both HPVS and EVS.

Power supply
The power is supplied by a hydraulic pump unit. This unit is driven by the vehicle’s engine and
supplies power for the HPVS and also for the EVS, if tted.
The pump unit consists of a controlled axial plunger pump driven by a V-b
V-belt,
elt, a separate
HPVS/EVS oil reservoir, a pressure lter and a manifold block with, among other things, a
bypass valve (SP12).

Regulating axial pump
Pump-unit
The axial plunger pump has a combined pressure and ow regulator so as to provide a
constant ow above a certain speed, irrespective of the engine speed. Depending on the set
maximum ow,
ow, the ow will then remain constant above a certain speed (500 rpm is approx. 9
l/min).
The maximum pressure can be set by means of the bottom set screw
screw.. This pressure will be
achieved when the pump is ‘switched on’ while the oil cannot escape (e.g. when the spring
cylinders have been slid out to the maximum distance while the highest position is still being
operated).
The maximum ow can be set by means of the upper adjusting screw (within certain limits).
This is done as follows: Internally
Internally,, at the pressure output of the pump, a branch (A) has been
made to the regulator and the pump pressure in the regulator is applied to the left-hand side
of control plungers. Outside the pump two throttles are placed in
i n the main ow. Depending on
1
the ow, a pressure drop will develop across the throttles. After this throttle there is a branch
(B), so that this oil pressure is on the
t he right-hand side of the above-mentioned control plungers,
together with an adjustable spring pressure.
The larger the oil ow through the throttles, the larger will be the pressure drop across them.
If the pressure drop exceeds the set value, the plunger will move against the oil pressure

The ow is independent of the pressure delivered by the pump unless it reaches the maximum
set value: the ow will then be reduced so as to prevent the pump pressure from exceeding
the set maximum.
Because the pump is running all the time (i.e. is connected to the engine), it must be able to
run without pressure when no pressure is required. This is regulated by a 4/2 control slide
(SP12) and controlled by the ECU.
When this valve is energised, P is connected to B. B is plugged. This means that only oil can
ow towards the manifold block. When no further oil is required (controlled by the ECU), the
voltage will be removed from SP12. As a result, the parallel mode is activated, so that P is

to rinse the system and ensure that no oil from the rinsing system can be forced back to the

Throttle non-return valve (D) (used since 1996) in the activation lead to the ow regulator
ensures that when SP12 is deactivated the pressure in the regulator is not decreased too
rapidly,, so that the control plunger comes up hard against its stop. This can result in damage,

so that the regulator may jam.
The pressure lter is tted between the pump and the main throttle. This means that all the oil
delivered by the pump will always be ltered, so that optimal oil cleanliness and hence also the
service life of all hydraulic components are assured.
The lter also functions as a throttle. If the lter is clean the pressure drop will be small and will
therefore have virtually no effect on the maximum ow. When the lter gets full, the pressure
drop across the lter will be such that even at a much lower ow it will be equal to the set
control pressure. As a consequence,
consequence, the pump will deliver much less oil. The result of this
may be, for instance, that the lifting axle rises more slowly or (with EVS) the axle steers more
slowly.

piston rod and The all
piston. Since
cylinders are connected to one another in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, the pressure
in each cylinder will be the same. If all cylinders have the same diameter, the axle pressures
will also be the same (compensation). On some vehicles spring cylinders with a smaller
diameter are mounted on one axle so as to create a lower axle pressure on that axle.
The deployment of hydraulics enables a variety of circuits to be used on the basic system. For
example, an axle can easily be raised
r aised by reversing the oil ow of that axle’s cylinders (5). The
oil under the piston is then depressurised and the oil pressure on the rod side increases, so
that the axle is raised..
3.1.1 Suspension
The spring accumulator (3) is a steel cylinder with a piston. On one side of the piston
there is nitrogen, which is at a specied initial pressure. On the other side there is the
t he
1
oil, which is connected to the oil in the spring cylinders. When an axle is compressed,
the oil on the piston side of the spring cylinders will be forced out. This causes an
increase in pressure, so that the nitrogen is compressed via the piston of the spring
accumulator.. This means that the nitrogen is the spring element.

3.1.2 Damping
Thanks to the correct dimensioning of the cylinders and pipes, damping is normally built
in to such an extent that additional shock absorbers are not needed. Only in special
cases are extra damping valves used in the HPVS system, but never separate shock
absorbers.
3.1.3 Stabilisation
The HPVS system itself provides so much stability that no extra stabiliser rods are
necessary.
3.1.4 Height control

system. While
driving, the system automatically adopts a standard driving height. On each side of the
vehicle there is an HPVS cylinder with proximity switches (see gure). These switches
emit a signal when the cylinder approaches the switch. The switches are tted on the
protective sleeve of the cylinder, with a height difference of 5 mm. If the vehicle drops
below the standard driving height (for instance as a result of an internal leak), the
cylinder will approach the top switch. The ECU receives this signal and ensures that
the pump is activated and the height (on the correct side) is adjusted. As soon as the
cylinder has passed the top switch, the pump will stop again.

As an option, the height control system

system can be extended by the addition of a container
lifting system. This system facilitates lifting and lowering containers. Since in this
process the rear of the chassis drops to a few centimetres above the rear axle, the
height by which the container has to t o be moved is reduced. The chassis is placed at an
angle during this procedure. The system ensures that the axle load is evenly distributed
over the rear axles.
For a detailed description of the operation of these systems, see section 3.3.
3.1.5 Lateral control
If additional stability is required (for example when tipping) a hydraulic lateral

stabilisation system can be added as an option. The hydraulic lateral stabilisation
system ensures that when the vehicle is stationary the oil on the rod side of the
cylinders can no longer escape. The outgoing stroke of the cylinders is then blocked, but
compression is still possible. This brings about a considerable increase in stability in the
lateral direction.
Another popular option is the lateral levelling

levelling control system. The purpose

system is primarily to make tipping safer.
safer. TTo
o compensate for the chassis falling away at
an angle near the rear axles, it can (where possible) be levelled in the lateral direction.
For a detailed description of the operation of these systems, see section 3.3.

i s designed to be dual-operating. This is
necessary for the spring cylinders of a lifting axle. As a result, the chamber marked

necessary,, as these axles cannot be and do not need to be raised.

The reasons why the cylinders are nevertheless designed to be dual-operating are:
1 If oil leaks out p

al, it is led back to the oil reservoir

oilil will
leak to the outside.
2 Because ththe
e cylinders are designed in this way they are identical except for the
cylinder tube and rod, making production more economical.
3 It makes lateral stabilisation possible.
3.2.2 Hoses and pipes
All pipes, hoses and couplings

couplings are dimensioned in such
such a way that leaks and/or
fractures will not occur under normal circumstances. Should this nevertheless happen,
a check must be made to nd the cause so as to prevent further problems. The vehicle
can suffer serious damage as a result of this!
Fractures or excessive leakage may have several causes. Examples include:
● extreme operating conditions (e.g. driving at high speed ov

over
er heavy terrain or when
heavily overloaded)
● poor/insufcient maintenance
3.2.3 Test nipples
There are a number of test nipples on the manifold block for checking the operation of
the hydraulic system.
These test nipples are of the Minimess type, vers. 400, with a test connection with an
M16x1.5 external screw thread.
The function of the various measuring points will be discussed in greater detail where
necessary.
3.2.4 Accumulators
With HPVS, hydraulic spring accumulators are used for the suspension.
A spring
spring accumulator is a steel cylind
cylinder
er with a piston. On one side of the piston there is
nitrogen, which is at a specied initial pressure. On the other side there is the oil, which
is connected to the oil in the spring cylinders. When an axle is compressed, the oil on
the piston side of the
t he spring cylinders will be forced out. This causes an increase in
pressure, so that the nitrogen is compressed via the piston of the spring accumulator.
This means that the nitrogen is the spring element.
One accumulator is mounted on each side of the vehicle. The initial pressure of the
nitrogen can be displayed via the diagnostics cabinet (see Chapter 9 - T
Technical
echnical data). If
in doubt, enquire at GINAF Trucks bv.
5
nitrogen
to suspension cylinder
Spring accumulator
Operation of the suspension:
If the oil pressure is lower than the nitrogen pressure, the piston will touch the bottom
of the accumulator (the side to which the oil pressure is connected). As long as the oil
pressure is below the nitrogen initial pressure the piston will not move and the vehicle
will not have any suspension. Normally this situation does not occur, because the
nitrogen pressure is approx. 10-15 bar, whereas the oil pressure is always approx. 5 bar
above this when unladen. This situation can only arise if for example the initial pressure
of the spring accumulators is too high or if the vehicle is in the lowest position. The
nitrogen initial pressure is always checked when the piston is on the bottom, i.e. with the
vehicle in the lowest position.
If the oil pressure is greater than the nitrogen pressure, the piston is forced away from
the bottom of the accumulator
accumulator,, thereby compressing the nitrogen. This produces the
actual suspension.
The suspension that then arises is highly progressive. At low pressures, e.g. when
the vehicle is unladen (oil pressure approx. 15 bar), a pressure increase of 15 bar (i.e.
100%) will mean that the gas will decrease to 50% of the original volume. This makes
for soft suspension.
With a vehicle laden to the maximum (oil pressure approx. 120 bar), a pressure
increase of 15 bar represents a rise of only 11%. This means that the nitrogen will only
be compressed a little, making for rigid suspension behaviour.

3.2.5 Hydraulic pump-unit
The power is supplied by a hydraulic pump unit. This unit is driven by the vehicle’s
engine and supplies power for the HPVS and also for the EVS (if tted).
The pump unit consists of a controlled axial plunger pump driven by a V-belt, a separate
HPVS/EVS oil reservoir, a pressure lter and a manifold block with, among other things,
a bypass valve.
3.2.6 Filtering
Possibly the most important

i mportant component in a hydraulic system is the lter. A general
characteristic of hydraulics is reasonably problem-free operation and long service life
lif e as
long as there is no dirt in the system.
The greatest care must therefore always be taken when working on the hydraulic
system, since any dirt that gets into the system causes a very high degree of wear!
Remember that such wear can be caused by dirt that is invisible to the naked eye (0.01
mm!!).
Since in practice this can never be entirely avoided and wear in the system itself also
causes dirt, very ne ltering has been opted for with the
t he HPVS. The system contains
several lters, designed to remove any dirt that enters or is already there.
Filters:
● aeration lter: MANN paper lter element, not washable or - if integrated in

ller cap - washable to a limited extent
● ller lter in reservoir: gauze lter, washable
● pressure lter: replaceable element
● return lter: replaceable element (if tted)
When the pressure lter starts to get full, its position will cause the output in the pump
control circuit (see Chapter 2) to decline, which could give rise to malfunctions. With
lifting axles, for instance, the axle may rise only slowly and in some cases it may even
not rise to its maximum lift.
If this happens, the pressure lter element must be replaced (older vehicles sometimes
have an indicator, possibly with a lamp, but because problems usually occurred before
this lamp came on this was discontinued).
3.2.7 Oil
Bear in mind the following points when oil needs to be added:
● Only add oil using a carefully c

cleaned
leaned funnel and a lter (e.g. a paint lter) or ltered
oil.
7
● Use the correct type of oil (2 possible base oils

oils!):
!): see Chapter 9.
● The reason for topping uup.
p. The hydraulic sys
system
tem must be externally leak-free, so
check for external leakage.
3.2.8 ALR (hydraulic control)
Hydraulically controlled ALR
A hydraulically
hydraulically controlled load-dep
load-dependent
endent brake control system (ALR)
(ALR) is tted on
vehicles with HPVS. A normal ALR controlled by the compression cannot be used
because HPVS includes an automatic height control system. As a result, a constant
driving height will be obtained irrespective of the vehicle’s load, so that an ALR
controlled by compression will not register any load difference and will thus not make
any adjustment.
For the hydraulically controlled ALR a Wabco ALR is used, which is normally meant for
air-sprung vehicles. Since in this case the control has to be provided by the hydraulic
cylinder pressure rather than the pneumatic pressure from air bellows, the air cylinder
that is normally mounted on the ALR was replaced by a small hydraulic cylinder.
Note: near the activation lead (diameter 10 mm) a throttle is mounted in the
t he connection
nipple on the ALR cylinder (this is to prevent damage caused by pressure surges).
3.3 Operation
3.3.1 Height control
The height control system for the rear of a vehicle with HPVS is split into two identical
systems that operate independently of one another on the t he left and right.
Height control valves::

4/3 control slide with 2-sided magnet energisation and spring-loaded positioning
in the centre position + pressure-controlled non-return valve + throttle.

B
4/3 valve with throttle, controlled non-return valve and spring cylinder
Switching positions:
● No voltage on either magnet:

Valve in centre position due to spring-loaded return. No adjustment.
● Voltage on magnet on ‘cross side’:
Valve in switched state. Cross mode activated. Inating (extra oil to the relevant
side).
● Voltage on magnet on ‘parallel side’:
Valve in switched state. Parallel mode activated. Draining (oil from the respective
side to the reservoir).
The vehicle’s height control system operates completely independently on each side
and is activated by the proximity switches on the cylinders (both height control system
and container lifting system) or by the lateral levelling control system (if tted).
With the cross mode activated (inating), oil will ow from the pump via P to B and will
then be fed to the cylinders on one side via the controlled non-return valve.
With both magnets unenergised, the valve will be in rest state = centre position. In this
position ports A, B and T are interconnected, while P is separated from the others. The
pressure-controlled non-return valve (virtually leak-free) prevents the oil from ever going
back from the cylinders to the control slide of the height control system. The A port
port is
also connected to T so as to make absolutely certain that no pressure is applied to A
when the height control slide is not energised. Otherwise, due to leakage fromfr om P to A
when the pump has to deliver pressure for another function, the controlled non-return
valve would be opened, allowing oil to ow out from B to T T..
When the parallel mode is activated (draining), oil will drain from the cylinders via B to T
T,,
after which it will ow back to the reservoir. The pressure-controlled non-return valve will
now be opened because the pump pressure is on port A.
The pump is activated, so that pressure can be built up.
To understand the operation properly

properly,, a basic characteristic of the control slides used is
necessary:
9
CONTROL SLIDES ARE NEVER INTERNALLY LEAK-FREE
This means that oil from a port with a higher pressure will always ow to a port with a
lower pressure.
This explains why even when the height control system is not activated (for instance at
speeds below 5 km/h), a change can still be made in the height of the vehicle. This is
because the pressures on the various ports are different. These differences are highly
dependent on the load condition of the
t he vehicle.
For example: at a pressure on port P of 190 bar (pump activated), the pressure on
A(=B=T) is 20-25 bar.
bar.
When P has a pressure greater than the pressure of B and A, oil will leak internally from
P to B and from
fr om P to A. However
However,, since they are connected to the T port, this oil will be
led directly back to the reservoir
reservoir.. Due to the construction of the control slides, no oil can
leak directly from P to T, but it will go via A and via B.
Conclusion: when the pump delivers pressure for a purpose other than the height
control of the side that is already at the correct height, a small amount of oil will always
leak past the plunger. As a result, the available oil ow for certain purposes will not
be entirely the same as the pump output. However, the differences will scarcely be
noticeable as long as no excessive wear to the control slides has occurred.
It should also be mentioned that if the pressure in B exceeds that in P (which can
happen with very heavy loads) no oil can ow back from B to P (P=190 bar = 20 tons
per axle!).
These pressures can occur,

occur, for example, in off-road situations (raised lifting axle v3/3) or
when the lateral levelling control system is activated, since then almost all the load often
rests on one side, so that the entire tonnage is on only 2 or 3 cylinders.
The throttle used with the

t he height control valves ensures that ination and draining are
carried out smoothly.
smoothly. Particularly when the pressure differences between P and B are
large (P high and B low + ination activated) or there is a high pressure on B and T=0
bar and then draining is activated, without any throttle this makes for a jerky result, since
the valves provide very little resistance (approx. 10 bar at 60 l/min).

3.3.2 Hydraulic lateral stabilisation
Lateral stabilisation can also be provided as an extra on all vehicles with HPVS.
2/2 valve with spring cylinder, normally open (lateral stabilisation)
● No voltage on magnet:
Valve open on ttwo
wo sides. Lateral stabilisation deactivated.
● Voltage on magnet:
Valve open on one side. Rod side spring cylinders hydraulically locked. Lateral
stabilisation activated.
Lateral stabilisation is automatically activated at vehicle speeds of less than 5 km/h.
If the valves are open on two sides (lateral stabilisation deactivated), the oil can ow
freely from the reservoir to the rod side of the
t he HPVS cylinder(s) and back. When the
valves are open on one side (lateral stabilisation activated), oil can only ow from the
reservoir to the rod side of the HPVS cylinders, but cannot now ow the other way way..
It is therefore now possible to pull the HPVS cylinders, so that a very roll-stiff vehicle
is obtained. The vehicle will now be given a tilt line around the tyres (approx. 2-2.5 m)
instead of around the HPVS cylinders (approx. 0.95 m).
Compensation between HPVS cylinders (rod side) on each side simply continues to be
possible. The spring cylinders can also still compress. A vacuum
vacuum is then created on the
rod side.
This system is of particular interest for vehicles with a tipper bed, since stability is
greatly enhanced during tipping.
11
3.3.3 Hydraulic lateral stabilisation: superstab
Lateral stabilisation in the “superstab” version can also be provided as an extra on all
vehicles with HPVS. The system works largely in the same way as the hydraulic lateral
stabilisation system, except that the valves work conversely.

alve open on

activated.
● Voltage on magnet:
Valve open on two sides. Superstab deactivated.
Superstab is automatically activated if a certain turning radius and vehicle speed occur.
If the valves are open on two sides (superstab deactivated), the oil can ow freely from
the reservoir to the rod side of the HPVS cylinder(s) and back. When the valves are
open on one side (superstab activated), oil can only ow from the reservoir to the rod
side of the HPVS cylinders, but cannot now ow the other way
way..
It is therefore again possible to pull the HPVS cylinders, so that a very roll-stiff vehicle is
obtained, as with lateral stabilisation.
This system is of particular interest for vehicles with a high centre of gravity or moving
load (such as liquid), since cornering stability is greatly improved.
12
3.3.4 Lateral levelling control
Lateral levelling control can also be provided as an extra on all vehicles with HPVS.
When the lateral levelling control system is activated, the normal height control system
is deactivated. The vehicle is then levelled in the lateral direction from the levelling unit
(tted under the rear chassis cross member).
During adjustment the ECU instructs the height control valve on the side that is too high
to drain and at the same time instructs the height control valve on the side that is too low
to inate. As long as the vehicle is at an angle, a yellow warning lamp on the dashboard
will light up, showing R or L, meaning that the right-hand or left-hand side is too low
low.. As
long as one of these lamps is on, the switch must be held. When they are both off the
vehicle is level.
3.3.5 Container lifting system
This system facilitates lifting and lowering containers.
Since the rear of the chassis drops to a few centimetres above the rear axle, the height
by which the container has to be moved is reduced. The chassis is placed at an angle
during this procedure.

If the vehicle is put in the very lowest position while a container is being lifted
lif ted or
lowered, the rear axle rests fully against the chassis. This means there is no more
compensation, so that this axle has to bear the full weight, which is not desirable.
When the container lifting system is being used, compensation remains possible, i.e. the
axle load remains evenly distributed over the rear axles.

the other axles is increased, so that a greater driving power can be transmitted by
the driven axles. This also eliminates unnecessary resistance from the non-driven
wheels.
2 To reduce tyre wear (on an unladen vehicle).
In order to provide optimal off-road performance when driving with a raised axle, the
axle is rst uncoupled hydraulically from the other axles before being raised. This is
done for each side of the vehicle, independently of one another. After
After the uncoupling
procedure the actual raising operation is carried out. The instruction to do this comes
from a 4/2 valve (the centre valve in the manifold block).
Uncoupling:
The uncoupling operation is carried out by means of the outer valves on the manifold
block, consisting on each side of a 3/2 valve, a controlled non-return valve and an
ordinary non-return valve.

properly. This is because
the activation is on the side of the 3/2 valve connected to the reservoir. Since the
rod side of the lifting axle cylinders is pressurised during the actual raising operation,
without any throttle the oil from the piston side would not be entirely pressureless when
the controlled non-return valve was activated. This non-return valve might then not close
properly,, so that tthe
properly he oil from other spring cylinders could also drain to the reservoir.
When the lifting axle is uncoupled from the other axles, the oil on the piston side of
the lifting axle’s spring cylinder is pressureless. This means that the axle is still on the
ground, but there is no more axle pressure. The next step is that the axle is raised.

Raising:
The raising operation is done by means of a 4/2 valve (this is the centre valve on the
manifold block), together with a non-return valve and a throttle.
SP14
HEFAS
P A
T B
Raising the axle
Coil SP14 is operated. This connects P to B, so that pressure is built up from the pump
on the rod side of the lifting axle’s cylinders. This raises the axle. This works one way
only because of the non-return valve (provided the pump pressure is less than the
pressure on the rod side of the lifting axle’s cylinders). This may happen, say, when
the height control system is adjusting the height with an unladen vehicle. Port A is
connected to the piston side of the lifting axle cylinder via the uncoupling valve, so
the oil on the piston side of the cylinder can ow back to the reservoir during the lifting
lif ting
operation.
The pump will be activated for approx. 20 seconds after the lifting axle switch is
activated in order to try to raise the axle. This will then be repeated
r epeated every 6-13 minutes.
SP14 will continue to be operated.
Lowering:
SP14
HEFAS
P A
T B
Lowering the axle
Magnet coil SP14 is no longer energised, so that the valve returns to the neutral
position. The pump is connected to A via P, while B is connected to the reservoir via
T. This means that oil is fed to the piston side of the lifting axle’s cylinders via the
uncoupling valves. At the same time, oil from the rod side of the lifting axle’s cylinders
is depressurised because it can drain away to T via B and thence to the reservoir: the
lifting axle is lowered. Since the lifting axle falls faster than
t han the pump can feed oil, due to
its own weight, during the lowering operation no pressure will yet be built up in the lifting
15
axle’s cylinders. Only when the axle is on the ground and the cylinders are completely
lled will there be any build-up of pressure. This is because the pump can now only get
rid of its oil by pushing the lifting axle’s cylinders out further,
further, so that the vehicle is ‘lifted
up’ by this axle. The cylinders are now coupled again:
The pressure on the piston side of the lifting cylinders will increase. When this pressure
reaches a value of approx.1/3 of the pressure in the non-lifting cylinders, the pressure-
driven non-return valve in the uncoupling section will be opened, so that oil can ow
from the non-lifting axle cylinders to the lifting axle cylinders. The pressure on both sides
of the controlled non-return valve will be the same, so that the control pressure of this
valve will also be the
t he same as the pressure in the suspension system.
The controlled non-return valve is now in a state of equilibrium.
The lifting axle has now been coupled. During coupling it makes no difference whether
or not the 3/2 valves are energised. This means it is not possible to have very high
pressures in the lifting cylinder because the axle couples automatically
automatically.. Even if the
pressure builds up very quickly,
quickly, as when lowering tthe
he lifting axle whilst driving, nothing
can happen: the activation of the controlled non-return valve is not rapid
r apid (due to the A-B
throttle), but the non-return valve can also be opened in the direction from lifting axle
cylinder to non-lifting axle cylinders, so that the lifting axle can never be subjected to
extreme pressures.
If the coupling occurs before the maximum time has elapsed, oil will be added to the
overall suspension system via the 3/2 valves: the vehicle will be raised. The height
control system will compensate for this at speeds in excess of approx. 5 km/h.
If coupling takes place electrically before the hydraulic system does it, the lifting axle
will immediately be coupled to the other cylinders. This is because the 3/2 valves return
to their neutral position, so that the P-B connection is made. As P is under pressure
from the operating spring cylinders, oil will now go via the non-return valve cartridge to
B, which is itself again connected to the activation plunger of the controlled non-return
valve. This will open and make the co connection
nnection between the lifting axle cylinder
cylinder and
other cylinders. This can only happen as a result of a wire breakage in the respective
magnet coils, failure of the magnets, etc. This means that, say, tipping with a raised axle
always entails a certain risk.
While driving, the P-B connection ensures that the controlled non-return valve is opened
if the valve wants to close, owing to a high pressure drop across this controlled non-
return valve due to very high oil ows (from non-lifting axle cylinders to the lifting axle
cylinder). If in the most extreme case the valve were to close anyway
anyway,, this is no problem,
as the spring accumulator is mounted on the side of the non-lifting axle cylinders. This
can therefore absorb the high pressures.

Chapter 4
EVS
4.1 General
EVS (Electronic Vehicle Steering) is an electronically controlled, speed-dependent steering

system for a rigid rear axle, driven or otherwise. This rear axle is controlled by two hydraulic
cylinders.
The basis for this is a standard rear axle suspension with a V-rod (blue) in the centre of
the axle on top and with two torque rods (red) on the left and right underneath. With this
arrangement the V-rod absorbs longitudinal and lateral forces, while the torque rods absorb
only longitudinal forces. With EVS the lower torque rods are replaced by special hydraulic
cylinders that give the axle a steering motion due to the change in length (one longer and
the other shorter by the same amount). The axle turns about the
t he ball of the V-rod, which is
attached to the axle.
1
When the EVS is switched on, the rear axle steers at speeds of a maximum of approx. 25
km/h. From 25 - 45 km/h the steering angle of the rearr ear axle is continually decreased further in
respect of the steering angle of the front axle. This is called the transition speed. At 45 km/h
the rear axle is hydraulically locked in the straight-ahead position. Above 45 km/h, then, the
axle does not steer
steer,, which makes for improved directional stability
stability..
The EVS can be activated and deactivated by means of a switch. With

Wit h normal vehicle usage it
is recommended that the switch should always be left “on”. The steering of the rear axle then
proceeds fully automatically.
automatically. Occasionally the EVS may be deactivated. The axle then steers
immediately to the centre position.
When the vehicle is started with EVS deactivated, the buzzer will sound briey briey.. When the EVS
is reactivated, the rear axle will only start steering again after the front axle has been in the
straight-ahead position.
4.2 Description of components

The EVS consists of three main parts:
● two steering cylinders (1 per side)

● drive system:
hydraulic pump, reservoir, various hydraulic valves
● steering system:
angle and length sensors, ECU, various sensors and software for steering and security
4.2.1 Steering cylinders

● emergency steering system or centring system
The steering system is the centre section with connections X1 and X2.
X1 X2
B
Y1 Y2
EVS cylinder
Steering system:
The steering system consists of the piston (A), which is operated via line connections
X1 and X2. Connections X1 and X2 are alternately connected to the pressure line and
the return line by a steering valve, depending on the required
r equired steering direction. As a
result, the EVS cylinder slides in or out.
2
Emergency steering/centring system:

The emergency steering/centring system is connected to the emergency steering circuit
via the line connection Y1/Y2. The function of the
t he emergency steering/centring system
is to return to and lock the EVS cylinder in the centre position. The emergency steering
system consists of two chambers, with on one side a rod surface and on the other side
a oating piston (B).
4.2.2 Emergency steering accumulator
Emergency steering accumulator
The emergency steering accumulator is a pressure vessel consisting of two parts.

The two parts are separated from one another by a diaphragm. The upper part of the
accumulator is lled with oil. The lower part of the accumulator is lled with nitrogen
under a certain initial pressure.
If the oil pressure in the emergency steering system is higher than the nitrogen pressure
in the accumulator (because oil is pressed out of the EVS cylinders while steering), oil
ows to the accumulator and is stored there. This results in the
t he diaphragm compressing
the nitrogen, as a result of which the gas pressure is increased.
If the pressure in the

t he emergency steering circuit is decreased (because the EVS cylinder
has returned to the centre position), the nitrogen presses oil out of the accumulator back
into the emergency steering circuit via the diaphragm.
In this way the pressure in the emergency steering circuit is maintained.
4.2.3 Sensors
To determine the front axle angle and the rear left and rear right cylinder length, angle
and length sensors respectively are used in the form of high-quality potentiometers. At
1 steering motion per second these potentiometers have a service life of at least 8.5
years, based on 1600 hours/year.
Since voltage differences of as little as 0.01 V produce a change in the measured

angle, only gold contacts are used in the connectors in the circuit (primarily against
corrosion), while high-quality steering cable is used as the cable (with a metal braided
sheath whose purpose is to combat external radiation). When replacing the cable or
connectors, then, only the original GINAF parts may be used, since correct, constant

safety of the driver, freight and vehicle!

The cylinder length sensors are integrated in the cylinders (not available loose),
including 500 ohm input resistor and 1000 ohm output resistor. These sensors cannot
be adjusted.
4.2.4 ECU
The control unit for the EVS and HPVS (or only the HPVS) is a microprocessor-
controlled unit that on the
t he basis of a computer program and input parameters ensures
that EVS and HPVS valves are operated correctly

is approximately twice as large as the surface area of the piston rod, the oating piston
will carry the main piston to the left until the oating piston rests against the stop. At
the same time, at Y1 the main piston is pushed to the right with half the force. The EVS
cylinder is now xed. This situation occurs when driving straight ahead at the transition
speed or when the EVS switch on the control panel is off. When the transition speed
is exceeded, i.e. the vehicle speed is higher than 45 km/h, the system will ensure
that connections X1 and X2 are closed, so that the oil can no longer escape from the
steering compartments. The cylinders are now subjected to dual hydraulic locking.

in the cylinder(s) so as to make the axle steer.
In order to avoid unwanted oil ows, two throttles have been tted (at SP1, 2 and SP3,
4). The non-return valves may be in the form of block construction (loose sandwich
element) or a cartridge; in the latter case they are tted in
i n release valves SP5.1 and
SP5.2. A few throttles have also been tted so as to damp the oil ows.
SP5.1 and SP5.2 are connected in series and are therefore tted with 12 volt magnets
to ensure good wire breakage/short-circuit notication.

EVS hydraulic diagram: emergency steering system (blue)
EVS hydraulic diagram: emergency steering system (blue)
The emergency steering system consists of an accumulator, pressure switch (DS1 or

DS), throttle (B), non-return valve in T and a 3/2 valve SP7. Since the start of 1994 the
non-return valve in T,
T, the throttle and the 3/2 valve have been combined in a single
valve, a 2/2 valve (variant 2). The operation is identical.
A quantity
quantity of oil is constantly stored unde
underr pressure in the accumulator and is checked
checked
by the pressure switch. Via SP7 there is always pressure on connections Y1 and Y2,
so that there is always a centring force on the steering (see also section 4.3.1). When
SP7 is energised, oil from the emergency steering system can ow to the accumulator
if the pressure in the emergency steering system is higher than the pressure in the
accumulator.. The axle can steer when the steering system is correctly activated.
accumulator
When SP7 is not energised, oil can ow only to the emergency steering system, but
9
not back because of the non-return valve. The axle can only be put more accurately in
the straight-ahead position but can never steer (unless there is air in the emergency
steering system).
To enable the oil in the emergency steering system to be replenished in the event of
a leak, a pressure reduction valve has also been tted (“variant 1.0”), which allows oil
to ow into the system up to a certain maximum preset pressure. The oil cannot ow
back due to a non-return valve. There must then be pressure build-up for this valve, so
the bypass valve (SP12) must be activated. Activation of this is via the pressure switch
and the ECU. Topping
Topping up the emergency steering system is done with a high degree of
throttling by means of a small throttle. As a result, the pump can still maintain pressure
for the normal steering system in the event of a serious leak in the emergency steering
system.
The problem with variant 1.0 is that the reduction valve is too slow due to the low level
of oil ow. In the event of sudden pressure surges (which happen frequently), the
reduction valve closes too late, thereby allowing a small amount of oil to pass. Since
in practice the emergency steering system scarcely loses any oil after the non-return
valve, the pressure can increase sharply
sharply.. The results of this may be: steering too slowly,
greatly increased wear on the emergency steering accumulator and leakage from the
steering cylinders. A new variant was developed because of this problem:
Variant 2.0
In this variant the reduction valve is replaced by a pressure relief valve. This reacts
almost immediately (even opening by a small amount is sufcient to stop the pressure
from rising). Now, however,
however, the steering pressure could not exceed the preset value,
since all the oil can escape to TT.. T
To
o prevent this effect, just before the pressure relief
valve a throttle is screwed into the manifold block. It is so small (< 0.5 mm) that the
internal oil loss is zero. This will mean, however, that it will take a little longer to ll the
emergency steering system (e.g. following a gas initial pressure check). Adjustment is
as for the original variant (1.0).
Because of the throttle screwed into the manifold, variant 2.0 cannot be mounted at a
later date on vehicles with variant 1.0, because no screw thread has been tapped in
these manifolds.
In practice, however, the same problems occurred with this solution as with variant
1.0, though to a lesser extent: here too the emergency steering pressure was able to
increase gradually.
Variant 1.1 (r
(replacement
eplacement for variant 1.0)
An additional pressure relief valve is tted, after the non-return valve. This ensures
ensures that
the pressure in the emergency steering system cannot exceed approx. 200 bar. During
steering this will mean that
t hat the emergency steering system ‘blows off’ oil. When the axle
is then back in the
t he centre position, the emergency steering pressure will be approx. 90-
95 bar. After this the pressure can again increase slowly (over a few months) until it is
again so high that the pressure relief valve will again blow off.
10
Variant 2.1 (r
(replacement
eplacement for variant 2.0)
With variant 2.1 the same modication was made as with the transition from 1.0 to 1.1.
After the non-return valve an additional
additional pressure relief valve is tted, which can blow off
the emergency steering pressure if it increases. Otherwise the operation is the same as
for variant 1.1.

Front axle around the centre position (driving roughly straight ahead, small corrections

When the vehicle is being driven roughly straight ahead, steering by the rear axle is
not desirable: it must then be 100% straight. This is achieved by deactivating the main
steering system and having the rear axle centred by the emergency steering system.
When this is done oil must not be allowed to ow to the accumulator as a result of
external forces. If the EVS steering switch is ‘off’, the same situation applies.
Switched valves:

SP5.1 and SP5.2 are deactivated. Even if SP12 and/or valves SP1 to SP4 are switched
on, no pressure is built up.
SP7 is deactivated so as to prevent oil from the emergency steering system from owing
to the accumulator. Oil can now go only from
fr om the accumulator to emergency steering
connections Y1 and Y2 of the cylinders and not vice versa.
Because of the oil that is under initial pressure in the accumulator

accumulator,, the axle will back-
steer until the centre position is reached.

SP12 is also not activated. Note: SP12 can be activated if the HPVS suspension system

5.1 and 5.2.
Until end of 1994: from the “rear axle in centre position” situation (see 4.4.5), SP5.1 and
5.2 are energised above 45-50 km/h; SP30 is i s not tted.
This causes the X1 and X2 ports to be completely uncoupled, so that the oil can
no longer escape from the steering compartments of the cylinders. The same
had happened earlier with the emergency steering compartments when SP7 was
deactivated. This brings about the dual hydraulic locking. SP12 can still be activated by
the HPVS system.
From end of 1994 to end of 1995: ditto, but SP12 could no longer be activated. This is
because it was possible for a situation to occur in which SP12 was activated, while a
steering valve (SP1 to 4) was inactive. In that eventuality the rear axle starts to steer
against the emergency steering pressure; this is not desirable. At vehicle speeds in
15
excess of 45-50 km/h SP12 is deactivated by the ECU and by an external relay that is
activated by the speed signal.
From end of 1995: protection by an additional valve, SP30, which is now energised by
the external relay at speeds below 50 km/h and no longer energised at speeds above
that. As a result, no oil feed to the EVS manifold block is possible, not even if bypass
valve SP12 is energised. This means that SP12 and hence the height control system
can also remain active above 50 km/h.
Switched valves:
SP5.1 and SP5.2 so that connections X1 and X2 are uncoupled. This causes
the rear axle to be locked by the main steering system.
4.4.7 Change of position of the EVS switch
When the EVS switch is ‘off’, the system reacts as though the front axle were straight
ahead, so that the rear axle is also in the centre position.
The switch can always be operated, though a switch from ‘off’ to ‘on’ will only be
accepted if the vehicle is being driven at crawling speed; this is so as to avoid
dangerous situations. The rear axle will also only steer again when the front axle has
been in the straight-ahead position. From ‘on’ to ‘off’, however, is accepted at any
speed.
Note: the electronics continues to operate, so the HPVS simply remains activated!

Electrical system
5.1 Components
5.1.1 Proximity switches (height control)
The height control of the HPVS system is usually provided by four proximity switches on
two cylinders. Two
Two proximity switches are tted for each cylinder of the controlled axle.
proximity switch
5
proximity switch
HPVS cylinder with proximity switch
The proximity switches for the height control are basically normal switches with an
internal changeover contact. In addition to a power supply wire and an earth wire, two
output wires are tted. Depending on the position of the switch, a voltage that is approx.
0.5 V lower than the supply voltage will be applied to one of the output wires.
The changeover switch does not switch over because a mechanical contact takes place,
but because an object is approaching. This proximity switch reacts only to metals. The
changeover switch will switch over when metal comes within
wit hin 12 mm of the sensitive
side.
Irrespective of the position of the switch, voltage will always be applied to one output
wire and not to the other. The proximity switches are 5 mm apart. The switches with
housing are tted on the cylinder’s
cylinder ’s protective sleeve, in which holes have been made.
As a result, they will not switch in reaction to the metal
metal of the protective sleeve. The
proximity switches will however switch when the cylinder tube comes past during
rebound and compression because it is within the switching distance of 12 mm.
1
When the chassis is in the driving position the cylinder will be positioned in such a
way with respect to the proximity switches that the lowest proximity switch is activated,
while the other one is not. Of the output wires, the one that (in the driving position) has
no voltage applied to it is now connected to the ECU. For the lowest switch, then, one
output (white) is connected, while for the highest one the other output (black) is used.
If the chassis is too low, the spring cylinder is pushed in further. The lowest switch is
then switched. This is also the case at driving height, so the output (white) continues
to have no voltage applied to it. The output of the highest switch (black) is now also
switched, which is not the case at driving height. As a result, the ECU ‘sees’ that the
chassis is too low on the side in question.
If the chassis is too high, the cylinder is pushed out further. The highest switch is then
not switched. This is also the case at driving height, so the output (black) continues
to have no voltage applied to it. The output of the lowest switch (white) is also not
switched, though at driving height it is. As a result, the ECU ‘sees’
‘ sees’ that the chassis is too
high on the side in question.
Note! The proximity switches must be accurately positioned in front of the holes in the
sleeve, as otherwise the switches will react to the metal in the sleeve rather than the
cylinder.. The highest and lowest ones must also not be reversed, because the system
cylinder
would then no longer work: there would even be a chance that the vehicle would
continually inate, drain, inate, drain and so on.

Only one axle is tted with height control. The height control system only works at
speeds in excess of 5 km/h. The reason for this is that when the vehicle is stationary the
controlled axle may be on a bump or in a hollow
hollow.. With the height control activated this
axle would then try to lift or lower the vehicle.
Above 5 km/h the height control

control system works with a time lag of 3-5 sec between
between the
signal being sent from the proximity switches and the actual activation of the hydraulic
valves. This means that they are not activated unnecessarily frequently
frequently..
As there is a height difference of 5 mm between the proximity switches,

switches, in the most
extreme case there could be a difference in chassis height on the left and on the right of
5 mm without it being corrected. Normally
Normally,, however, this will be barely noticeable.

cab. The control system only works at
speeds below 5 km/h. This means that if the vehicle drives off with the container mode
activated it will be deactivated at 5 km/h, so that the chassis is brought back to normal
driving height.
The system works by means of two t wo extra proximity switches, one per cylinder
cylinder,, on both
cylinders of the last axle. These proximity switches are of a different type to those in
the height control system and are therefore not interchangeable with them. When the
container lifting mode is activated, the proximity switches on the last axle take over
height control. Because the vehicle is stationary (or
( or almost stationary), the normal
height control system does not work. This means that t hat the low sensors now do not emit
any voltage when there is metal in the vicinity. As the container position sensors are
tted very high up on the protective sleeve of the cylinders, the vehicle must rst be
lowered before metal comes close. The position has been selected in such a way that it
corresponds to a chassis height that is just above the stops.

When this mode is activated the chassis is lowered to approx. 3 cm above the stop
bosses. This driving position is maintained, even when the vehicle is
i s moving.
On vehicles with the HPVS v6/0 system both extra proximity switches are connected to
the computer.
If xed (not spring-loaded) switches are tted (before end of 1993), the lateral control
system cannot be operated when the container lifting mode is activated. If the vehicle
moves off with the container lifting
lifti ng mode activated, the chassis automatically goes to tthe
he
driving position. As soon as the vehicle is stationary again, the chassis is lowered back
down to the ‘container lifting height’.
On vehicles with spring-loaded switches (from end of 1993), the container lifting
system is operated in the same wayway.. As soon as another HPVS switch is operated, the t he
container lifting system will be deactivated. If the vehicle moves off with the container
lifting mode activated, the chassis automatically goes to the driving position. When the
vehicle is stationary again, the chassis is not lowered to the ‘container lifting height’, but
if needed it must be activated again.
5.2.3 Hydraulic lateral stabilisation
Magnet coils SP6.1 and 6.2 are activated. The lateral stabilisation system can be
activated by operating a switch. This can be done at any speed; it ensures that
rebounding is now impossible or virtually impossible (compression is possible to

a limited extent thanks to the progressive nature of the HPVS). When the lateral
stabilisation system is activated, height control, lateral control and highest/lowest
position are no longer possible: the computer does not accept them. This is possible
with later versions.

5.2.4 Hydraulic lateral stabilisation: superstab
Magnet coils SP6.1 and 6.2 are not activated. Superstab is automatically activated and
deactivated by the computer, depending
depending on vehicle speed and turning radius (front axle
steering angle). It is also possible to activate this mode by operating a switch (if tted
and included in parameter list).
The superstab version can be identied by the fact that when stationary the magnet

5.4 Software
Due to the complexity of the system software it is beyond the scope of this document to
describe it in detail. Still, we would like to
t o focus on a number of aspects that are important for
understanding the steering.
5.4.1 Zero point hysteresis
When a vehicle is driving in approximately a straight line, the rear axle does not need to
steer and indeed this may even have detrimental effects. A “nervy” type of behaviour will
9
result because a small degree of steering is still taking place. As a result, the rear axle
steering angle will also constantly be modied.
In addition, the sensors may vary slightly

slightly,, i.e. the electronic centre position is no longer
the same as the actual centre position. For the cylinders the harmful effect of this is
avoided by having the centre position calculated by the emergency steering system
when driving straight ahead.
Zero point hysteresis means that the front axle can be steered to the left and to the right
by approx. 3 degrees in respect of the centre position without the rear axle steering.
This makes for smooth driving and steering behaviour and insensitivity to sensor
deviations, while excessive wear is also avoided.
5.4.2 Counter-steering factor
This is the factor by which the relationship between the rear axle angle and the front
axle angle can be set. The relationship can be set according to the wheel base, the
front axle wheel deection (which determines the calculation front axle angle) and the
distance from the non-steered rigid axle to the rigid axle steered by EVS.
Example: given the same front axle angle the rear axle angle must be larger with a
short wheel base than it is for the same vehicle with a longer wheel base. On very long
vehicles it may even be the case that the maximum rear axle angle is too large, so that
at the maximum front axle angle the rear axle does not have to steer to the
t he maximum.
5.4.3 Proportional back-steering effect
To prevent a sudden transition fr

from
om ‘steering’ to ‘not steering’, EVS uses a so-called
proportional back-steering effect.
If the front axle steering angle is kept constant and at the same time the vehicle speed
is increased, the rear axle steering angle gradually decreases until the steering angle
is 0 degrees at the transition speed from steering to non-steering. Back-steering takes
place in 13 stages, so that the driver experiences this as a continuous process. The
stages are laid down in the parameters.
5.4.4 Rear axle steering angle limit
The full steering angle that the cylinders can attain cannot be utilised
utili sed because with
standard tyres the steering angle has to be limited. This is because with a large
oscillating angle and full steering the wheels can touch the cylinders. The distance that
the rear axle can steer is therefore laid down in the program by means of parameters.
5.4.5 Correction factor
Factor that is determined for each vehicle by starting up the ‘CORR’ utility program in
the test box.
By steering both the front axle and the rear axle fully
fully,, the divergence of the sensor in
respect of “ideal” is determined. The factor determined from this adjusts the measured
10
values in such a way that the actual values are changed to the ideal maximums when
steering is also actually at a maximum.
This means that in the event of any changes in the sensors this program must be used
afresh. This utility program must also be used when the fault message “corr“corr.. factoren
zijn niet meer geldig” (“corr. factors are no longer valid”) is displayed.
5.4.6 Synchronisation of both cylinders
The hydraulic steering system is designed in such a way that the cylinder that requires
the lowest pressure to move will also move rst. This causes the axle to t o tilt. T
To
o prevent
this, an electronic alignment device is tted. If one cylinder gets too far ahead of the
other,, the one nearest to its target will ‘wait’ for the other one.
other
This means that if one cylinder does not move (jammed control slide, too little force in
the case of very heavy rutting) the other one moves briey but then stops while it waits
for the rst one. This may be followed by a fault code (discrepancy too large between
target and actual = target-actual fault).
5.4.7 Existing hysteresis

Built into almost all the values that are related to the
t he steering system is a hysteresis, the
purpose of which is to ensure that the steering system does not work in a jerky fashion.
The existing throttles in the system atten out any pressure peaks that may occur in the
system.
5.5 Fault messages

Fault messages can be displayed in two ways:
5.5.1 Via the DCS-1 diagnostics unit
DCS-1 diagnostics unit
The diagnostics unit enables the fault messages stored in the ECU’s memory to be
displayed by selecting ‘FOUT’ (‘FAULT’).
(‘FAULT’). After the list has been displayed there is the
option of deleting the fault messages from the memory or leaving them there. If the
fault message ‘correctiefactoren niet geldig’ (‘correction factors not valid’) is
i s shown, the
11
correction factors must be entered again using the ‘CORR’ utility program, since this
fault message can only be removed by having the correction factors determined afresh.
Connecting DCS-1 diagnostics unit
To prevent problems with the memory from arising due to static electricity
electricity,, the following
procedure must be followed when connecting the diagnostics unit:

1. Connect th
the
e DCS-1 to the ECU.
2. Switch the vehicle ignition on. The
The DCS-1 is ready for use.
5.5.2 Via ashing code
Any stored fault messages in the ECU can also be display

displayed
ed via the alarm lamp on the
dashboard. After the display procedure is started up the lamp can indicate which fault
messages are present by ashing a certain number of times.
Displaying fault messages with ashing code
1. Make sure the vehicle is station

stationary
ary,, the vehicle ignition is on and the lifting axle (if
tted) is down.
2. Press the “lateral lev
levelling
elling control” and “high
“highest
est or lowest pos
position”
ition” switches
simultaneously and hold them down for 3-5 seconds until a pulsing buzzer signal is
heard.
3. Release the switches.
The system is now in “display ashing code” mode. If there are no fault messages
stored in the ECU, the buzzer will give two short signals. If there are, the alarm lamp will
start ashing.
4. Count the numbe

numberr of times the lamp ashes until the buzzer gives a short signal. If
there are further fault messages in the ECU, the next fault message is shown. This is
repeated until all fault messages have been displayed. The buzzer then again gives
several short signals.
5. See table below for which fault mess
message
age corresponds to which ash
ashing
ing code.
Deleting the faults stored in the ECU
Display the fault code by following the above procedure. Press the “lateral levelling
control” and “highest or lowest position” switches simultaneously and hold them down
as soon as the buzzer gives several short signals at the end of the display procedure.
After about 5 seconds the buzzer
buzzer will again emit a signal. Release the switches.
switches. All fault
messages have now been deleted; this can be checked by trying t rying to display them again.

Fault code 1
The pressure in the emergency steering system is monitored by the pressure switch
mounted on DS1 or DS (depending on vehicle type and superstructure). If tthis
his pressure
becomes too low, the pressure switch switches after approx. 8 sec. provided the
t he speed
is in excess of 5 km/h. Below 5 km/h no fault message is triggered because owing to
13
slight internal leakage oil may leak out of the emergency steering system while the
ignition is on and the engine off.
When the pressure switch switches, the steering system is put in the t he straight-ahead
position and bypass valve SP12 is activated in order to compensate for the leak. If this
is not successful within approx. 3 sec. at v = 5 to 45 km/h, a fault message is generated:
the main steering system ensures that the axle is put in the straight-ahead position.
Fault code 2
If the oil level as measured with a oat switch remains below the minimum for longer
than 10 seconds, a fault message is generated and the emergency steering system is
activated in order to steer the rear axle to the centre position. The HPVS control system
is also deactivated. Lowest position and lowering lifting axle (if tted) are operations that
are still possible!
Fault code 3.1
The ECU continuously examines whether the difference between the desired value
(target) and the actual value (actual) is not too large. The difference between these
values can also be too large without this being due to a fault, for example if the ignition
is on with the engine off. This is why no check is run at v < 5 km/h.
It may also happen that with rapid steering and a low engine speed the rear axle cannot
steer quickly enough. In this situation the system must not generate a fault message.
A target-actual
target-actual fault message may arise as a result of another fault, for example wire
breakage in the angle sensor at left or right rear
rear.. The emergency steering system
is activated until the axle is in the straight-ahead position. SP5.1 and SP5.2 are not
activated, not even at high speed. The reason for this is that
t hat when bypass valve SP12
is activated for, say,
say, HPVS the cylinders will still attempt to steer against the locked
emergency steering system if, for instance, a steering valve (SP1 to 4) is jammed in the
switched state.
(Before mid-1993 SP5.1 and SP5.2 were activated at high speed when this fault code
was generated).

Fault code 20
This fault code can only be displayed by means of DCS-1. The correction factors stored
in the ECU are no longer valid. The computer then uses the default values to make
calculations, as though ideal sensors were tted. No system reaction (also no buzzer).
Remarks:
The system’s reaction in the event of a particular fault message applies only to
t o that
specic fault message. It may be that one fault message is the result of another fault
message. Example: fault code 1: leakage in emergency steering system - as a result, oil
level too low after a while: fault code 2. If several fault messages are given, then, it is
important to nd the primary cause during diagnostics!
From end of 1995: some fault

f ault messages only become active when they have occurred
5x in quick succession. After a fault message the system resets itself and on the 5th
time the fault is reported to the driver
driver.. Obviously this does not apply to fault messages
that could be dangerous, such as AL1, AL2 (emergency steering pressure too low, oil
level too low respectively) and AL20 (correction factors no longer valid).
In general, the driver will get a signal when a fault occurs or has occurred. In the case
of EVS faults, both the alarm lamp and the buzzer will be activated, while in the event of
HPVS faults only the alarm lamp will come on.
5.6 Electrical diagrams

The circuit diagrams are arranged in such a way that the ECU is considered to be a
black box. This means that only the connections that are outside the ECU are shown.
The diagrams are also split into section diagrams so as to make things easier to read.
The colour of the wiring can be identied in the diagrams by a code consisting of the
rst and last letters of the colour, e.g. “red” = “rd”, etc.
