4E2 – 12IREAR DRUM BRAKES
DAEWOO V–121 BL4
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AND SYSTEM OPERATION
DRUM BRAKES
This drum brake assembly is a leading/trailing shoe de-
sign. Both brake shoes are held against the wheel cylinder
pistons by the lower return spring and the fixed anchor
plate near the lower return spring. When the brakes are
applied, the wheel cylinder pistons move both shoes out
to contact the drum. With forward wheel rotation, the for-
ward brake shoe will wrap into the drum and become self–
energized. With reverse wheel rotation, the rear brake
shoe is self–energized. Force from the brake shoes is
transferred to the anchor plate through the backing plate
to the axle flange. Adjustment is automatic and occurs on
any service brake application. Do not switch the positionof shoes that have been in service, as this may render the
self–adjustment feature inoperative and result in in-
creased pedal travel.
Notice : To avoid damaging the vehicle, observe the fol-
lowing directions:
S Replace all the components included in the repair
kits used to service this drum brake.
S Do not use lubricated shop air on the brake parts,
as damage to the rubber components may result.
S If any hydraulic component is removed or discon-
nected, it may be necessary to bleed all or part of
the braking system.
S Replace the shoe and linings in axle sets only.
S The torque values specified are for dry, unlubri-
cated fasteners.
S Perform service operations on a clean bench that is
free from all mineral oil materials.

DIAGNOSTIC CIRCUIT CHECK
The Diagnostic Circuit Check is an organized approach to
identifying a problem created by an antilock brake system
(ABS) malfunction. It must be the starting point for any
ABS complaint diagnosis because it directs the service
technician to the next logical step in diagnosing the com-
plaint.
Diagnostic Process
Perform the following steps in order when servicing the
ABS/EBD system. Failure to do so may result in the loss
of important diagnostic data and may lead to difficulties
and time–consuming diagnosis procedures.1. Perform the tests of the table below.
2. Perform a road test if directed by the table.
S Test drive the vehicle while using the snapshot
feature of the scan tool.
S Perform normal acceleration, stopping, and turn-
ing maneuvers.
S If this does not reproduce the malfunction, per-
form an ABS stop on a low friction surface such
as gravel.
3. Clear the diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) after all
system malfunctions have been corrected.

DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION AND
PROCEDURES DIAGNOSIS
BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED
You must be familiar with some basic electronics to use
this section of the Service Manual. They will help you to
follow diagnostic procedures.
Notice : Lack of the basic knowledge of this transaxle
when performing diagnostic procedures could result in in-
correct diagnostic performance or damage to transaxle
components.
Do not, under any circumstances, attempt to diagnose a
transaxle problem without this basic knowledge.
Notice : If a wire is probed with a sharp instrument and not
properly sealed afterward, the wire will corrode and an
open circuit will result.
Diagnostic test probes are now available that allow you to
probe individual wires without leaving the wire open to the
environment. These probe devices are inexpensive and
easy to install, and they permanently seal the wire from
corrosion.
Special Tools
You should be able to use a Digital Volt Meter (DVM), a cir-
cuit tester, jumper wires or leads and a line pressure gauge
set.
The functional check procedure is designed to verify the
correct operation of electronic components in the trans-
axle.
This will eliminate the unnecessary removal of transaxle
components.
FUNCTIONAL CHECK PROCEDURE
Begin with the Functional Check Procedure which pro-
vides a general outline of how to diagnose automatic
transaxle. The following functional check procedure will in-
dicate the proper path of diagnosing the transaxle by de-
scribing the basic checks and then referencing the loca-
tions of the specific checks.
S Check the fluid level according to the Fluid Level
Service Procedure.
S Check the transaxle for fluid leaks.
S Check if the transaxle fluid is not burnt by color and
smell.
S Ensure that the transaxle is not in Limp Home
Mode(LHM).
S Check the battery terminals and the ground con-
nections for corrosion or looseness.
S Check that the cooler flow is not restricted.S Check all electrical connections for tightness.
S Use on–board diagnostic tool or a scan tool to see
if any transaxle trouble codes have been set. Refer
to the appropriate ”Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)”
information and repair the vehicle as directed. After
repairing the vehicle, perform the road test and
verify that the code has not set again.
S Perform the Electrical/Garage Shift Tests.
S Perform the Road Test Procedure in this section.
S Inspect the oil and check for metal or other contam-
inants in the oil pan.
LINE PRESSURE CHECK
PROCEDURE
The 4HP 16 A/T uses a trochoid type oil pump to produce
hydraulic pressure, and a pressure control solenoid (sole-
noid 1) to control that pressure at the pressure regulator
valve, after it leaves the pump. The transaxle pressure
control solenoid is controlled by an electrical signal that
ranges from 0 to 12 volts corresponds to minimum line
pressure (approx. 89.9 to 124.7 psi (6.2 to 8.6 bar)) and
0 volt corresponds to a maximum line pressure (approx.
221.9 to 252.4 psi (15.3 to 17.4 bar)) in all range.
Line pressures are calculated for two sets of gear ranges
– Drive–Park–Neutral and Reverse. This allow the trans-
axle line pressure to be appropriate for different pressure
needs in different gear ranges:

Before performing a line pressure check, verify that the
pressure control solenoid is receiving the correct electrical
signal from the TCM:
1. Install a scan tool.
2. Start the engine and set parking brake.
3. Check for a stored pressure control solenoid diag-
nostic trouble code, and other diagnostic trouble
codes.

CLUTCH PLATE DIAGNOSIS
Composition Plates
Dry the plate and inspect the plates for the following condi-
tions :
S Pitting
S Flaking
S Wear
S Glazing
S Cracking
S Charring
Chips or metal particles embedded in the lining
Replace a composition plate which shows any of these
conditions.
Steel Plates
Wipe the plates dry and check the plates for heat discolor-
ation. If the surfaces are smooth, even if colorsmear is in-
dicated, you can reuse the plate. If the plate is discolored
with hot spots or if the surface is scuffed, replace the plate.
Important : If the clutch shows evidence or extreme heat
or burning, replace the springs.
Causes of Burned Clutch Plates
The following conditions can result in a burned clutch
plate:
S Incorrect usage of clutch plates.
S Engine coolant in the transaxle fluid.
S A cracked clutch piston.
S Damaged or missing seals.
S Low line pressure.
S Valve problems.
– The valve body face is not flat
– Porosity between channels
– The valve bushing clips are improperly installed.
– The check balls are misplaced.
S The seal rings are worn or damaged
Engine Coolant in Transaxle
Notice : Antifreeze will deteriorate the O–ring seals and
the glue used to bond the clutch material to the pressure
plate. Both conditions may cause transaxle damage.
Perform the following steps if the transaxle oil cooler has
developed a leak, allowing engine coolant to enter the
transaxle:
1. Because the coolant will attach to the seal material
causing leakage, disassemble the transaxle and
replace all rubber type seals.
2. Because the facing material may become sepa-
rated from the steel center portion, replace the
composition faced clutch plate assemblies.
3. Replace all nylon parts including washers.
4. Replace the torque converter.
5. Thoroughly clean and rebuild the transaxle, using
new gaskets and oil filter.6. Flush the cooler lines after you have properly re-
paired or replaced the transaxle.
COOLER FLUSHING AND FLOW
TEST
Notice : You must flush the cooler whenever you receive
a transaxle for service. Cooler flushing is essential for
SRTA installation, major overhaul, whenever you replace
a pump or torque converter, or whenever you suspect that
the fluid has been contaminated.
After filling the transaxle with fluid, start the engine and run
for 30 seconds. This will remove any residual moisture
from the oil cooler. Disconnect the return line at the trans-
axle and observe the flow with the engine running. If the
fluid flow is insufficient, check the fluid flow by disconnect-
ing the feed line at the cooler. Observe the flow with the
engine running.
S If the flow from the cooler return line at the trans-
axle is insufficient, check the flow rate from the feed
line to the cooler. BLockage exists in the transaxle
or the cooler.
S If the flow from the transaxle feed line to the cooler
is insufficient, the transaxle is the cause of the fluid
flow problem.
S If the flow the transaxle feed line to the cooler is
insufficient, but flow from the cooler return line to
the transaxle is insufficient, inspect the cooler pipes
and fittings. Then repeat the cooler flushing proce-
dure. If the flow is still insufficient, replace the cool-
er.
TRANSAXLE FLUID LEVEL SERVICE
PROCEDURE
This procedure is to be used when checking a concern
with the fluid level in a vehicle. A low fluid level will result
in slipping and loss of drive/ reverse or delay on engage-
ment of drive/ reverse when the vehicle is cold.
The vehicle is first checked for transaxle diagnostic mes-
sages on the scan tool. If the oil level is low, it is possible
to register a vehicle speed signal fault.
The vehicle is to be test driven to determine if there is an
abnormal delay when selecting drive or reverse, or loss of
drive. One symptom of low fluid level is a momentary loss
of drive when driving the vehicle around a corner. Also
when the transaxle fluid level is low, a loss of drive may oc-
cur when the transaxle fluid temperature is low.
When adding or changing transaxle fluid use only ESSO
LT 71141 automatic transaxle fluid or other approved
fluids. The use of incorrect fluid will cause the performance
and durability of the transaxle to be severely degraded.
Fluid Level Diagnosis Procedure
1. If the vehicle is at operating temperature allow the
vehicle to cool down for two hours, but no greater
than four hours. Or if the vehicle is at cool status,
start the engine and allow the engine to idle for
approximately 5 minutes (825~875 rpm), if pos-

sible, drive the vehicle for a few kilometers (N–D,
N–R, shift until two gear). This will allow the trans-
axle to be within the correct temperature range.
Transaxle fluid level should be checked at tempera-
ture 20 to 45°C (68 to 113°F).
CAUTION : Removal of the fluid filler plug when the
transaxle fluid is hot may cause injury if fluid drains
from the filler hole.
2. Switch off accessories, especially air conditioner,
heater.
3. With the brake pedal pressed, move the gear shift
control lever through the gear ranges, pausing a
few seconds in each range. Return the gearshift
lever to P(Park). Turn the engine OFF.
4. Park the vehicle on a hoist, inspection pit or similar
raised level surface. The vehicle must be level to
obtain a correct fluid level measurement.
5. Place a fluid container below the fluid filler plug.
6. Clean all dirt from around the fluid filler plug.
Remove the fluid filler plug. Clean the filler plug and
check that there is no damage to the ”O” ring.
S If fluid drains through the filler hole the transaxle
may have been overfilled. When the fluid stops
draining the fluid level is correct. Install the fluid
filler plug and tighten it to 45NSm(34 lb–ft).
S If fluid does not drain through the filler hole, the
transaxle fluid level may be low. Lower the ve-
hicle, and start the vehicle in P(Park) with the
parking brake and the brake applied. With the
engine idling, move the gear shift lever through
the gear ranges, pausing a few seconds in each
range and adding the fluid until gear application
is felt. Return the gear shift lever to P(Park).
Turn the engine OFF and raise the vehicle.
Check if the fluid level is aligned with the bottom
of the filler hole. If not, add a small quantity of
fluid to the correct level. Install the fluid filler
plug and tighten it to 45NSm(34 lb–ft).
7. When the fluid level checking procedure is com-
pleted, wipe any fluid around the filler plug with a
rag or shop towel.
Fluid Level Set After Service
1. Depending on the service procedure performed,
add the following amounts of fluid through the filler
plug hole prior to adjusting the fluid level:
Oil pan removal – 4 liters (4.23 quarts)
Converter removal – 2 liters ( 2.11 quarts)
Overhaul – 6.9liters (7.3 quarts)
Oil drain plug removal – 4 liters (4.23 quarts)
2. Follow steps 1 through 4 of the Fluid Level Diagno-
sis Procedure.
3. Clean all dirt from around the fluid filler plug.
Remove the fluid filler plug. Clean the filler plug and
check that there is no damage to the ”O” ring.
4. Lower the vehicle with the filler plug still removed
and start the vehicle in P(Park) with the parking
brake and the brake applied. With the engine idling,move the gear shift lever through the gear ranges,
pausing a few seconds in each range and adding
the fluid until gear application is felt. Then add an
additional 0.5 liters of fluid. Return the gear shift
lever to P(Park). Turn the engine OFF and raise the
vehicle. Install the fluid filler plug and tighten it to
45NSm (34 lb–ft).
5. Drive the vehicle at 2.2 miles(3.5km) to 2.8
miles(4.5 km) with light throttle so that the engine
does not exceed 2500 rpm. This should result in
the transaxle temperature being in the range 20 to
45°C (68 to 11°F). With the brake applied, move
the shift lever through the gear ranges, pausing a
few seconds in each range at the engine idling.
6. Return the gear shift lever to P(Park). Turn the en-
gine OFF and raise the vehicle on the hoist, if appli-
cable, ensuring the vehicle is level. When the three
minutes passed after the engine stopped, remove
the filler plug. Check if the fluid level is aligned with
the bottom of the filler hole. If not, add a small
quantity of fluid to the correct level. Install the fluid
filler plug and tighten it to 45NSm (34 lb–ft).
7. Wipe any fluid around the filler plug with a rag or
shop towel.
Fluid Leak Diagnosis and Repair
The cause of most external leaks can generally be Lo-
cated and repaired with the transaxle in the vehicle.
Methods for Locating Leaks
General Method
1. Verify that the leak is transaxle fluid.
2. Thoroughly clean the suspected leak area.
3. Drive the vehicle for approximately 25 km (15
miles) or until the transaxle reaches normal operat-
ing temperature (88°C, 190°F).
4. Park the vehicle over clean paper or cardboard.
5. Turn the engine OFF and look for fluid spots on the
paper.
6. Make the necessary repairs to correct the leak.
Powder Method
1. Thoroughly clean the suspected leak area.
2. Apply an aerosol type powder (foot powder) to the
suspected leak area.
3. Drive the vehicle for approximately 25 km (15
miles) or until the transaxle reaches normal operat-
ing temperature (88°C, 190°F).
4. Turn the engine OFF.
5. Inspect the suspected leak area and trace the leak
path through the powder to find the source of the
leak.
6. Make the necessary repairs.
Dye and Black Light Method
1. Add dye to the transaxle though the transaxle fluid
filler plug. Follow the manufacturer’s recommenda-
tion for the amount of dye to be used.
2. Use the black light to find the fluid leak.
3. Make the necessary repairs.

SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS
Oil Leakage
Notice :
– Careful localization of leakage points may make it
possible to prevent incorrect or cost–intensive re-
pairs.
Test Steps :– Thoroughly clean the transaxle, engine, and sur-
rounding area(using a steam jet, for example).
– To locate leakage, use a suitable identifying spray
or similar product.
– Depending on the amount of leakage, take the
car for a short or a longer test drive – It may prove
sufficient to place the car on a hoist and run the
engine at idle speed to trace the leak.
– If possible, determine exactly which type of oil is
escaping.
