Hill Descent Control Switch - push-push switch mounted in the clutch (bell) housing, forming part of the Hill Descent Control input circuit.

The switch is operated by the gear selector mechanism and reports first-gear selection to the Hill Descent Control system, which uses this input as one of the conditions for engaging HDC on a steep descent. A failed or contaminated switch typically prevents HDC from activating, or leaves the HDC warning lamp illuminated.

Manual transmission applications.

Frequently asked questions

What is the UMB100080 switch?
The UMB100080 is the Hill Descent Control (HDC) switch for the Freelander 1 (1996-2006). It activates the HDC system that controls descent speed off-road. Typically mounted on the gearbox bellhousing, fitting 1.8L K-series petrol and 2.0L diesel manuals.
Where is the Hill Descent Control switch located?
The HDC switch typically sits on the gearbox bellhousing on the Freelander 1, sensing gear selection for the hill descent system. It works with the manual transmission variants of the 1.8 petrol and 2.0 diesel.
What are the signs the HDC switch has failed?
A failed HDC switch typically shows as a Hill Descent Control warning light, HDC not engaging, or a flashing HDC message on the Freelander 1. Confirm the switch is the cause before replacing, as wiring faults can give similar symptoms.
