2. SYSTEM INSPECTION WITH DAVIE XD
2.1 GENERAL
If the tyre size is changed or if the vehicle is
adjusted in such a way that the configuration is
changed, the electronic unit may have to be re-
programmed.

2.2 'TRANSMISSION' MENU
The 'Transmission' menu is subdivided into two
tests:
-
static selector shaft position test
-
dynamic selector shaft position test
Both tests are used to check the mechanical
operation of the AS Tronic gearbox. This is done
by reading the position of all selector shafts in
gears that have been determined beforehand.
These positions are shown on the DAVIE display
by means of a position value, the so-called INC
(increment). Upon the start of both tests the
accessory test report needs to be printed. The
measured position values should be incorporated
in the test report, so that the mechanical
operation of the gearbox can be evaluated.
Static selector shaft position test
This test is carried out with a stationary vehicle
and running engine. Using the "+" and "-" buttons
on the DAVIE display the gearbox can be shifted
up and down respectively. Changing between RL
and RH is done by means of button "Reverse
gears". In this way the desired gears of the
relevant test report can be selected. Per selected
gear the measured position values can be
compared with the correct position values that
are stated between brackets in the test report.
Dynamic selector shaft position test
If no appreciable deviations are found in the static
selector shaft position test, the dynamic selector
shaft position test can be carried out
subsequently. This test is carried out while driving
with a loaded gearbox. Again, the accessory test
report should be printed (both test reports are
identical, however the test conditions differ).
While driving, the desired gears of the relevant
test report can be selected using the operating
unit. Per selected gear the measured position
values can be compared with the correct position
values that are stated between brackets in the
test report.

2.3 'CLUTCH ACTUATOR' MENU
This test provides an indication of the
performance of the clutch/clutch actuator, and
can best be carried out on a moving vehicle.
The "absolute clutch stroke" is the clutch stroke
from a fully closed to a fully opened position,
expressed in mm.
The "relative clutch stroke" indicates the position
of the clutch in % instead of mm.
The "clutch status" indicates whether at that
moment the clutch is "opened" or "closed" or
whether the clutch "slips".
The above measurements are closely connected.
For instance, the clutch position "closed" is
expressed in mm and %.
A closed clutch gives a relative clutch stroke of
100% in a position between 37 and 60 mm. An
opened clutch gives a relative clutch stroke of
about 0% in a position between 18 and 40 mm.
The clutch position sensor in the clutch actuator
measures the distance from a fully closed to a
fully opened clutch.
Example:
Clutch position/stroke:
fully closed (100%) = 37 mm
fully opened (approx. 0%) = 18 mm
Difference (clutch stroke) = approx. 19 mm
The position of clutch operation components
changes during the service life of the clutch plate.
For this reason the clutch stroke of approx.
19 mm will move along the "operating range" of
the clutch actuator. This is visible by the changing
clutch position (in mm) of the opened and closed
clutch.
The "absolute change-over" is the point at which
the clutch "engages"; depending on tolerances
and wear this point is between 12 and 45 mm.
If the accelerator pedal is not operated, the "low
idling switch" is active.
A number of situations are shown by way of
example:
Neutral
In neutral the clutch is closed; therefore "engine
speed in" and "input shaft speed" have to be
virtually equal.
With a closed clutch the "relative clutch stroke" is
100%; also, the "clutch status" indicates that the
clutch is closed.
If the accelerator pedal is not operated, the "low
idling switch" is active.

Selecting D or R
If D or R is selected, the clutch will open, which is
indicated by the "clutch status" and the "input
shaft speed" which has become 0 rpm.
With an opened clutch the "relative clutch stroke"
is approx. 0%.
If the accelerator pedal is not operated, the "low
idling switch" is still active.
When driving away, the clutch will close and the
engine and input shaft speeds will be virtually
equal.
At the same time the "low idling switch" status will
change to not active.
Selecting Manoeuvering R or Manoeuvering D
Selection of Manoeuvering R or Manoeuvering D
gives the same result as selection of D and R,
until the accelerator pedal is depressed.
The "low idling switch" status changes to not
active and the "clutch status" indicates that the
clutch slips.
Also, the "relative clutch stroke" indicates that the
clutch does not close completely; the stroke will
be between 30 and 50%, depending on the
resistance that has to be overcome.
