2007 KIA CARNIVAL engine

CHECKING POWER STEERING BELT TENSION
Refer to EM group(Timing system).
CHECKING POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL
1.Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Start the engine. With the vehicle kept stationary, turn the steering wheel several times continuously to raise the
fluid temperature to 50- 60°C (122 - 140°F).
3. With the engine at idle, turn the steering wheel fully clockwise and counter- clockwise several times.
4. Make sure that there is no foaming or cloudiness in the reservoir fluid.
5. Stop the engine and check for any difference in fluid level between a stationary and a running engine.
a.If the fluid level varies 5 mm (0.2 in) or more, bleed the system again.
b. If the fluid level suddenly rises after stopping the engine, further bleeding is required.
c. Incomplete bleeding will produce a chattering sound in the pump and noise in the flow control valve, and
lead to decreased durability of the pump.
REPLACING POWER STEERING FLUID
1.Jack up the front wheels and support them with jackstands.
2. Disconnect the return hose from the oil reservoir and plug the oil reservoir.
3. Connect a vinyl hose to the disconnected return hose, and drain the oil into a container.
4. Remove the fuel pump fuse, then start the engine and wait for the engine to stall. Next, while operating the starting
motor intermittently, turn the steering wheel all the way to the left and then to the right several times to drain the
fluid.
5. Connect the return hoses, then fill the oil reservoir with the specified fluid.
6. Reinstall the fuel pump fuse.
7. Start the engine. Check for oil leakage.
8. Stop the engine.
9. Bleed the system.
Power steering fluid type : PSF - 3
Total quantity : Approx 1.1 liter
AIR BLEEDING
1.Remove the fuel pump fuse, then start the engine and wait for the engine to stall. Next, while operating the starting
motor intermittently (for 15 ~ 20 seconds), turn the steering wheel all the way to the left and then to the right five or
six times.

a.During air bleeding, replenish the fluid supply so that the level never falls below the lower position of the
filter.
b. If air bleeding is done while the vehicle is idling, the air will be broken up and absorbed into the fluid. Be
sure to do the bleeding only while cranking.
c. Reinstall the fuel pump fuse, and start the engine(idling).
d. Turn the steering wheel to the left and the right until there are no air bubbles in the oil reservoir.
Do not hold the steering wheel turned all the way to either side for more than ten seconds.
e. Confirm that the fluid is not milky, and that the level is up to the position specified on the level gauge.
f. Confirm that there is little change in the surface o the fluid when the steering wheel is turned left and right.
a. If the surface of the fluid changes considerably, air bleeding should be done again.
b. If the fluid level rises suddenly when the engine is stopped, it indicates that there is still air in the
system.
c. If there is air in the system, a jingling noise may be heard from the pump and the control valve
may also produce unusual noises. Air in the system will shorten the life of the pump and other
parts.
OIL PUMP PRESSURE TEST (OIL PUMP RELIEF PRESSURE)
1.Disconnect the pressure hose from the oil pump. Connect the special tool between the oil pump and pressure hose
as illustrated.
2. Bleed the air, and then start the engine and turn the steering wheel several times so that the fluid temperature
rises to approximately 50°C (122°F).
3. Set the engine speed to 1,000 rpm.
4. Close the shut- off valve of the special tool and measure the fluid pressure to confirm that it is within the range.
standard vaule :
Relief pressure: 90 +3/- 2 kgf/cm²
Don’t keep the shut- off valve on the pressure gauge closed for longer than seconds.

TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE
Before replacing or repairing air conditioning components, first determine if the malfunction is due to the refrigerant
charge, air flow or compressor.

REMOVAL
1.If the compressor is marginally operable, run the engine at idle speed, and let the air conditioning work for a few
minutes, then shut the engine off.
2. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
3. Recover the refrigerant with a recovery/charging station (Refer to HA - 8).
4. Loosen the drive belt (Refer to HA - 14).
5. Remove the bolts, then disconnect the suction line (A) and discharge line (B) from the compressor. Plug (C) or cap
the lines immediately after disconnecting them to avoid moisture and dust contamination.
6.Disconnect the compressor clutch connector (A), and then remove 4 mounting bolts and the compressor.
INSTALLATION
1.Make sure of the length of compressor mounting bolts.
2.Install in the reverse order of removal, and note these items.
a. If you're installing a new compressor, drain all the refrigerant oil from the removed compressor, and measure its
volume, Subtract the volume of drained oil from 120cc(4.20 oz.) the result is the amount of oil you should drain

INSPECTION
Oil Specification
1. The HFC- 134a system requires synthetic (PAG) compressor oil whereas the R- 12 system requires mineral
compressor oil. The two oils must never be mixed.
2. Compressor (PAG) oil varies according to compressor model. Be sure to use oil specified for the model of
compressor.
Handling of Oil
1.The oil should be free from moisture, dust, metal powder, etc.
2. Do not mix with other oil.
3. The water content in the oil increases when exposed to the air. After use, seal oil from air immediately. (HFC - 134a
Compressor Oil absorbs moisture very easily.)
4. The compressor oil must be stored in steel containers, not in plastic containers.
Compressor oil check
The oil used to lubricate the compressor is circulating with the refrigerant.
Whenever replacing any component of the system or a large amount of gas leakage occurs, add oil to maintain the
original amount of oil.
Oil total volume in system:
120±10cc (4.05±0.34 fl.oz)
Oil Return Operation
There is close affinity between the oil and the refrigerant.
During normal operation, part of the oil recirculates with the refrigerant in the system. When checking the amount of
oil in the system, or replacing any component of the system, the compressor must be run in advance for oil return
operation. The procedure is as follows:
1. Open all the doors and the engine hood.
2. Start the engine and air conditioning switch to "ON" and set the blower motor control knob at its highest position.
3. Run the compressor for more than 20 minutes between 800 and 1,000 rpm in order to operate the system.
4. Stop the engine.
Replacement of Component Parts
When replacing the system component parts, supply the following amount of oil to the component parts to be installed.
Component parts to be installed Amount of Oil
Evaporator 50 cc (1.70 fl.oz)
Condenser 30 cc (1.02 fl.oz)
Receiver/dryer 30 cc (1.02 fl.oz)
Refrigerant line (One piece) 10 cc (0.34 fl.oz)
For compressor replacement, subtract the volume of oil drained from the removed compressor from the specified
volume, and drain the calculated volume of oil from the new compressor:
The specified volume - volume of removed compressor = volume to drain from the new compressor.
Even if no oil is drained from the removed compressor, don’t drain more than 50cc from new compressor.

DESCRIPTION
A/C pressure transducer convert the pressure value of high pressure line into voltage value after measure it. By
converted voltage value, engine ECM controls cooling fan by operating it high speed or low speed. Engine ECM stop
the operation of compressor when the temperature of refrigerant line is so high or so low irregularly to optimize air
conditioning system.

DESCRIPTION
1.Water temperature sensor is located at the heater unit.
2. It detects coolant temperature. Its signal is used for cold engine lockout control. When the driver operates the
heater before the engine is warmed up, the signal from sensor causes the heater control unit to reduce blower
motor speed until coolant temperature reaches the threshold value.
