(4)Check the valve length.
Length
Intake : 110.1mm(4.3346in)
Exhaust : 111.1mm(4.3740in)
(5) Check the surface of the valve stem tip for wear.
If the valve stem tip is worn, replace the valve.
3. Inspect valve seats
(1) Check the valve seat for evidence of overheating or improper contact with the valve face.
If the valve seat is worn, replace cylinder head.
(2) Before reconditioning the seat, check the valve guide for wear. If the valve guide is worn, replace the valve
guide first.
(3) Recondition the valve seat with a valve seat grinder or cutter. The valve seat contact width should be within
specifications and centered on the valve face.
4. Inspect valve springs.
(1) Using a steel square, measure the out - of- square of the valve spring.
(2) Using vernier calipers, measure the free length of the valve spring.

SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
Automatic transaxle fluid
INSPECTION 1. Drive the vehicle until the fluid reaches normal operating temperature [70~80°C].
2. Place the vehicle on a level surface.
3. Move the selector lever through all gear positions. This will fill the torque converter and the hudraulic system with
fluid and move the selector lever to the "N" (Neutral) or "P"(Park) position.
4. Before removing the oil level gauge, wipe all contaminants from around the oil level gauge. Then take out the oil
level gauge and check the condition of the fluid.
If the fluid smells as if it is burning, it means that the fluid has been contaminated by fine particles from the
bushes and friction materials, a transaxle overhaul may be necessary.
5. Check that the fluid level is at the HOT mark on the oil level gauge. If the fluid level is low, add automatic transaxle
fluid until the level reaches the "HOT" mark.
Auto transaxle fluid:
DIAMOND ATF SP - III, SK ATF SP - III
Quantity : 8.5ℓ (9.0 US qt, 7.5 lmp.qt)
Low fluid level can cause a variety of a abnormal conditions because it allows the pump to take in air along
with fluid. Air trapped in the hydraulic system forms bubbles, which are compressable. Therefore, pressures
will be erratic, causing delayed shifting ,slipping clutches and brakes, etc. Improper filling can also raise fluid
level too high. When the transaxle has too much fluid, gears churn up foam and acuise the same conditions
which occur with low fluid level, resulting in accelerated deterioration of automatic transaxle fluid. In either
case, air bubbles can cause overheating, and fluid oxidation, which can interfere with normal valve, clutch, and
brake operation. Foaming can also result in fluid escaping from the transaxle vent where it may be mistaken
for a leak.
6. Insert the oil level gauge(A) securely.
When new, automatic transmission fluid should be red. The red dye is added so the assembly plant can
identify it as transmission fluid and distinguish it from engine oil or antifreeze. The red dye, which is not an
indicator of fluid quality, is not permanent. As the vehicle is driven the transmission fluid will begin to look
darker. The color may eventually appear light brown.

DESCRIPTION
The fuel fired heater has been applied to the diesel engine (CRDi) to increase heating capability by using diesel only in
cold weather
a.Follow the procedures specified in this bulletin during service or it may cause personal injury.
b. Be sure to turn the fuel fired heater off when refueling at station.
c. The fuel fired heater must be mounted at designated position, never in the passenger compartment.
d. The fuel fired heater must be kept below 120°C or a permanent failure on the components may occur.
e. Operational principle : The following 3 conditions should be met at the same time for automatic operation of
the fuel fired heater.
a. Engine runs.
b. Ambient temperature is lower than 2°C (Winter)
c. Coolant temperature is lower than 68°C
f. Cleaning process
a. A cleaning process of the fuel fired heater will be performed automatically when the heater is not operated
due to increase of coolant temperature and ignition off.
b. During cleaning process, supplied fuel in the heater will be burnt completely and any smoke will be expelled.
It is a necessary process for next operation and durability of the heater and takes about 3 minutes.
g. Others
The following symptoms should be explained to customers or technicians as a normal occurrence.
a. A white smoke may come out from the fuel fired heater exhaust pipe installed at the front side of the right
front tire during operation of the heater.
This is not an exhaust fumes.
When moisture in the fuel and air is discharged from the heater and is met cold ambient air, it is condensed
and looks like a white smoke however, when an excessive black smoke is discharged, the fuel fired heater
should be inspected.
b. A "buk- buk" noise from the heater is a noise to form flame for combustion. This is a normal operation.
c. When the heater is operated at full load, a "Wooing" noise is occurred.
d. When shutting off the engine during heater operation, a "Wing" noise is occurred to perform the cleaning
process.
OVERVIEW
1.This fuel fired heater supplies additional heat to the interior compartment with a low fuel consumption to
compensate the heat provided by engine alone.
2. The fuel fired heater has been adopted to warm up the interior compartment in a short time.

3.The two coolant temperature sensors are installed to the heater inner. The sensor valves determine heater
operation.
4. One of the temperature sensors functions to prevent the heater from overheating.
If the sensor temperature valve exceeds 125°C, the fuel will be cut and the heater will be deactivated by the
determination of the overheating of the heater.
The other temperature sensor determines the operation mode of the fuel fired heater.The temperature of this
sensor enables to activate the heater at full load(5kw) or half load(2.5kw).
• The coolant temperature shown on the above Figure is the value of the inner sensor and the actual coolant
temperature is higher about 5°C ~7°C than the above value.
OPERATION
Switch on/ Operation start
The fuel fired heater is operated when the coolant temperature is below 68°C and the ambient temperature is below
2°C after starting the engine.
At this time, the glow plug and combustion air fan are operated first and after 30 seconds, the dosing pump is
operated with stopping the combustion fan for 3 seconds.
After that, the operation of the fan increases continuously until it approaches to full load within 56 seconds. If fuel
supply reaches to full load the glow plug does not operate and the operation of the fan reaches to full load.
After that the glow plug monitors ignition condition as a flame sensor for 45 seconds.
The above operation procedure is done automatically and in case the ignition fails, the above operation will be done
again automatically.
If the condition of ignition failure sustains continuously, fuel supply and fan operation will be stopped and error codes
will be stored to find cause of failure.
Generally, the cause of ignition failure during combustion is caused by the automatic re- operation of the above
procedure.
Operation for heating
The fuel fired heater operates at full load when the coolant temperature is below 68°C and the ambient temperature is
below 2°C after starting the engine.
It operates at half load when the coolant temperature is 74°C and it operates at idle mode when the coolant
temperature is 78°C.
The fuel fired heater during the transformation process does a cleaning function from the half mode to the idle mode.
At idle mode, all components do not work.
The fuel fired heater operating at idle mode turns into the half load when the coolant temperature is 74°C. At this time,
if the coolant temperature drops again below 68°C, the heater operates with full load and turns into the idle mode if
the temperature is 78°C.
This serial operating process is performed automatically.
Key switch off / Operation stop
The fuel fired heater ECU stops the operation of the fuel pump and cuts fuel supply when shutting off the engine
during the heater operation.
The heater conducts cleaning operation at this time.
This is a process of burning the fuel completely supplied in the heater inner.
In this process, the glow plug and combustion air fan are operated.
