Help needed with anti creep device

Postby RichT » Thu Apr 11, 2013 1:34 am

Hi all

I wonder if anyone has any experience with the anticreep system on the automatics, I have identified the solenoid and the switch on the gear box but can't find the anticreep switch which I guess if operated by a throttle linkage somewhere

My understanding is that the solenoid is activated by hydraulic pressure by some kind of switch located in brake line, if the gear box switch is in the right position this completes the circuit and allows the current to flow through the solenoid which activates the rear breaks, moving the throttle or selecting reverse breaks the circuit .

Presumably the solenoid is the big gizmo in the brake line, this shows continuity with a meter, presumably if I short this to earth if it is working it will apply the rear brakes,, my question is where is the accelerator off switch and the switch that senses the brake pressure and how do I test that this ,the gearbox switch and the switch that actually senses the brake pedal pressure are working. I guess most of these systems are u/s now but wondered how it all worked and how to test the individual parts as it seems like a neat idea

Thanks for any input

Regards

Richard
