Hill Descent Re Territory's

[mad2]

Evening All.


question today is - when was the Hill Descent control button fitted to the Territory & what model plus what did the "Hill Descent" button control?. have found a Terri with that particular button and it made me wonder about it.


Thanks

I believe it became optional on the AWD models from 2007 onwards.

Thanks Big Boss .... yeah i saw the switch in '04 SX [on the left], which i thought was odd.

ABS system is completely unique I believe.

i would know who to call ......... coz they knew their shiite..

[miss im much]

Hill Descent supplies an earth to Pin 36 of the ABS/ESP module. It applies to modules with steering and yaw sensors, so I suppose ESP only…

Hill descent control was optional on all AWD models from release.

well ...... i've just checked out the steering column .. it has the sensor on ze column!

not sure if/how i can check for the yaw.


Many Thanks for that info ..... i also checked out the blanked switches spot .... has one plug there so i will look closely at the relevant wiring diagrams.


Ps.

have checked out the wiring loom/Commodorenutt's manuals ...... it 'appears' i have the loom for the hill descent ..

i presume i will have to pull apart the ABS wiring plug to check for this earth/pin 36 to verify the above then yes?.

[mad2]

and also .....

while we're at it - how do i test the "hill Descent" button feature out?. do i need to enable anything?.

[Citroënbender]

The brake module plug has tiny numbers on the end pins of each row. See if 36 is populated on the harness side and on the actual module.

If so, try buzzing it out from the blanked off switch connector.

Good point, your area isn’t exactly mountainous.

that i can do ........ yeah .. lot's of hills here


Ps. i'll have to put the original cluster back in to check as it currently has the cluster from BAFLR6 fitted......

[mad2]

tried out the switch .......... without a 'hill' i didn't notice any thing .. no lights etc etc. the original cluster was also refitted with both showing nada.

Dhru (RIP) considered fitting it to the FAWD. We exchanged a few posts on the topic in his mega thread, I don’t think he ever sourced the unicorn ABS module, it was a very expensive (niche) option.

• big letters at the front, I have 2 of them => HD (Hill Descent?)

Maybe F equals Free wheeling and HD equals Hill Descent.

where as mine finishes in -AA and doesn't appear to have the HD ?.
