2-18Section 3 Daily Maintenance of MK SedanDaily maintenance means operation of vehicle regular inspection, cleaning, fastening, and refilling according to
vehicle usage and condition on the basis of regular maintenance to make sure the vehicle is at good status. Daily
maintenance can be performed by driver or professional automotive mechanics in daily use of vehicle. But some
of the items must be conducted by professional mechanics at service shops.
1. Maintenance of air cleaner
Air cleaner filters the air that is coming into engine for the first time. Dust and other dirt filtered out gathers in the
induction tube. Air cleaner filters a lot of dust and dirty, so it must be cleaned in time.
2. Maintenance of air filter
Air filter does not only filter the dust and dirt in the air, but also keeps smooth ventilation. Its status has great effects
on the fuel economy and power of the engine, so it must be checked and maintained in time.
Before it is time to replace air filter, maintain it. Remove the filter, knock it with hand or stick to get rid of dust
on the filter and remove dirt inside the filter cover according to the cleanness of the road that the vehicle usually
runs on.
ATTENTION: do not clean the filter with wet cloth. Fasten the filter well when installing it back.
3. Maintenance of battery
Battery is used to start the vehicle and supply power to electrical facilities. Its status directly affects the regular
usage of the vehicle, especially for vehicles equipped with electrical controlled facilities. Keeping the battery in
good technical status and connections is especially important. It is necessary to often perform the following
inspections and maintenance in regular usage:
(1) Clean the outside of battery Inspect if the battery case or cover surface is dirty or has dirt, oil, or other dirty
things regularly. Clean it and keep the surface dry to avoid electrical leak caused by cover deformation.
(2) Check battery connections Bad connection between battery electrode and cable results in low engine start
speed which makes it difficult to start the vehicle or the vehicle cannot be started because of low output voltage
from battery. Loose connection at battery end leads to damage of electrical components and loss of trouble code
and other information stored in RAM of the computer system as a result of low voltage. Therefore, it is necessary
to check if the connection of cables on the battery electrode is good. When it is found loose, it must be fastened.
If there is any rust, the cables must be loosened, washed clean and be connected again.
4. Maintenance of tires and wheels
(1) Keeping tires and wheels under good condition is very important to vehicle fuel consumption and driving
safety. Therefore, inspect and maintain the tires regularly. Every 10000 km, the wheels should be adjusted. Follow
the sequence in picture 3:
Judge if there is any hidden problems in vehicle chassis mechanism by observing wear in different places, andfinding out the hidden problems does not only help you to understand
the technical status of the vehicle, but also benefits driving safety.
a. Serious wear on both edges of tire tread, means tires often
work with low tire pressure.
b. Wear of middle of the tire tread is mainly because the tires
are used with high tire pressure.This kind of wear shortens
the useful life of tires, and may result in sudden flat tire
when the vehicle runs on uneven road surface or meets any
obstacles.Usage and Maintenance of MK Series - Daily Maintenance of MK Sedan

Chapter 3 Fuel SystemSection 1 Check Fuel System PressureOn-board inspection
1. Check the operation of the fuel pump.
(1) Connect the positive and the negative of the battery to
appropriate connector sockets of the fuel pump (see Figure 3-1).
Attention: Do not start the engine.
If there is pressure present, you will hear that the fuel is flowing.
If there is no pressure present, check the fusible cutout, fuse, EFI
open-circuit relay, fuel pump, ECM (Electronic Control Module) and
circuit joint.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to "OFF".
2. Check the pressure of the fuel.
(1) Check whether the battery voltage is more than 12V.
(2) Disconnect the negative wiring cable from the battery.
(3) Mount a pressure gauge on the fuel input pipe
(see Figure 3-2).
(4) Connect the negative terminal of the battery.
(5) Measure the fuel pressure.
Fuel oil pressure: 265-304kPa
If the pressure is low, check the fuel pipe and connection,
fuel pump, and fuel filter. If the pressure is too high,
replace the regulator.
(6) Start the engine. Measure the fuel pressure at idle speed. The
fuel pressure is 265-304KPa. If the pressure is unsatisfactory, checkFigure 3-1
Figure 3-3 Figure 3-2Fuel SystemCheck Fuel System Pressure3-15the fuel pump, pressure regulator, and injector, and replace if necessary.
(7) After shutting down the engine, check the fuel pressure and
keep the specified pressure for about 5 minutes. The fuel pressure is:
147KPa.
3. The fuel oil pressure regulator (DR) (see Figure 3-3).
Mounting position: On the distributing pipe for fuel.
Faults: Too low or too high fuel pressure, or hard to start.
General causes: Using poor fuel for a long time results in: 1.
strainer blocked; 2. serious leakage caused by particles and impurities.
Other reasons: Man-made mechanical damage, etc.
Maintenance precautions: During maintenance: 1. Never impact the diaphragm element with high pressure
gas; 2. Never clean it with aggressively corrosive liquid; 3. No distortion caused by external force.
Easy measuring method: For the system with oil return, connect a pressure gauge for the fuel on the suction
pipe, start the engine, and run at idle speed. Now, the fuel pressure in the engine should be about 260KPa; pull out
the vacuum pipe of the fuel pressure regulator, and the pressure should be 300KPa approximately.Battery

5-73Precautions:1. Don't operate refrigerant in confined space or near open fire.
2. Always wear eyeglass.
3. Be careful don't let liquid refrigerant contact your eyes and skin,
if liquid refrigerant contacts your eye or skin.
(a) Please wash with fresh water.
Warning:
Don't knead your eyes or scrub your skin
(b) Apply soft petroleum ointment on your skin.
(c) See doctor or go to hospital immediately for specialized
treatment.
4. Don't heat container or put it near open fire.
5. Be careful not to fall off, object should not touch container.
6. If there is no sufficient refrigerant in refrigerating system, don't
operate the compressor.
If there is no sufficient refrigerant in the system, insufficient oil
lubrication might cause burning out of compressor. Be careful to
avoid occurrence of such things.
7. When compressor runs, don't turn on pressure gauge high-pressure
valve.
If high-pressure valve is turned on, refrigerant will flow in reverse
direction, and cause bursting of refrigerant tank, so only low
pressure valve may be turned on or off.
8. Be careful to avoid excess refrigerant
Excess refrigerant will result in poor refrigerating capacity, worse
fuel economical efficiency, engine overheat etc problems.Symptom

Fault symptom
Flameout, poor idle speedChapter 9 Engine EFI SystemI. Outline This system includes sensor that detects engine functioning. Engine ECU utilizes sensors installed at differ-
ent parts of engine to measure various working parameters of engine, accurately control oil injection quantity
according to control procedure set in engine electronic control unit, so engine could work in optimum mode
under various operating conditions, i. e. optimal power output, the most economical oil consumption, optimal
exhaust emissions. Engine ECU is capable of start up control, idle speed closed-loop control, air fuel ratio
closed-loop control, canister control, transient operation control, angle of ignition control, knocking control, air
conditioning control, coasting fuel cutoff and overspeed fuel cutoff control, ternary catalyst heating and protec-
tion control, system self-diagnosis etc.II. Inspection of control element1. Manifold intake pressure temperature sensor
(1) The part to measure intake pressure is piezo type sensor, could provide controller with "load signal "
according to the difference between atmospheric pressure and manifold pressure; controller will supply 5V
voltage, and feed back 0-5V voltage to controller according to different intake pressures. The part to measure
intake temperature is NTC type (negative temperature coefficient) sensor, resistance changes with intake
temperature, this sensor conveys a voltage representing intake temperature change to the controller.
(2) Simple measuring method:
Temperature sensor part: (remove joint) turn digital multimeter
to Ohm position, two meter pens connect sensor 1 #, 2 # pinrespectively, rated resistance is 2. 5k ohm±5% at 20°C, correspond-ing resistance value may be measured from the above characteristic
curve. Simulation method may also be used for measurement, spe-
cific procedure is to use electric drier to blast sensor (pay attention not
to be too close), observe change of sensor resistance, here resistanceEngine EFI System-Engine EFI System5-120Possible cause
