This manual also introduces the transmission control system of the automatic transmission models,
vehicle electric circuits and elaborates ABS system, SRS, BOSCH M7.9.7 electronic control fuel
injection and ignition system, rear parking radar, sound, air conditioning and onboard hands-free
phone system. You can refer to this manual for the information about the regular maintenance,
servicing, adjustment, troubleshooting, removal and installation procedure, specific operations of
the “MK” sedans.
This manual covers the matching relation among the engine assembly, transmission assembly and
the vehicle, but does not have the further description of the structures and principles of the engine
and transmission assemblies and their servicing process. You can refer to the service manuals

General Information - Repair Instruction1-93. Electronic Control Device
(1) Removal of the battery terminal cable
a. Before performing electrical servicing, disconnect the nega-
tive (-) cable from the battery in order to avoid short for burnout.
b. When disconnecting the terminal cable, turn off the ignition
and light switches, loosen the cable nut and raise the cable straight
up without twisting or prying it.
c. When disconnecting the terminal cable from the battery, all
information stored in the clock, radio and DTC shall be deleted,
therefore, these information shall be checked before disconnection.
(2) Processing of Electronic Parts
a. Do not open the cover or case of the ECU unless absolutely
necessary. (If the IC terminals are touched, the IC may be destroyed
by static electricity.)
b. To pull apart electrical connectors, pull on the connector itself,
not the wires.
c. Be careful not to drop electrical components, such as ECU
or relays. If they are dropped on a hard floor, they should be replaced
and not reused.
d. When steam cleaning an engine, protect the electronic
components, air filter and emission-related components from water.
e. Never use an impact wrench to remove or install tempera-
ture switches or temperature sensors.
f. When checking continuity at the wire connector, insert the
tester probe carefully to prevent terminals from bending.
4. Remove and Installation of Engine Intake Parts
(1) If any metal scrap is mixed in the inlet pass, that may give
a bad effect to the engine.
(2) When removing and installing of the inlet system parts, close (6) Airbag ECU
a. Never reuse the airbag ECU involved in a collision when the SRS has deployed.
b. The connectors to the airbag sensor assembly should be connected or disconnected with the airbag ECU
mounted on the floor. If the connectors are connected or disconnected while the airbag ECU is not mounted to
the floor, it could cause undesired inflation of the supplemental restraint system.
c. Work must be started after 60 seconds from the time the ignition switch is turned to the "LOCK" position
and the negative (-) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery, even if only loosing the set bolts of the
airbag ECU.
(7) Wire Harness and Connector
The SRS wire harness is integrated with the instrument panel wire harness assembly. All the connectors in
the system are a standard yellow color. If the SRS wire harness becomes disconnected or the connector becomes
broken due to an accident, etc., repair or replace it.Negative(-)

2-12Section 2 Maintenance Category and Content of MK SedanAs the vehicle is being used, its technical performance changes as the mileage accumulates and being affected by
various factors, which results in decrease of power, fuel economy, safety, and increase of emission pollutions,
noise and incidents. So timely maintenance during vehicle usage eliminates potential risks and prevents incidents
from happening, improves vehicle integrity and technical functionality, and prolongs useful life of the vehicle.
According to the vehicle technical requirements and usage history, maintenance of freedom Cruiser sedan can be
classified into several categories.I. first time maintenanceFirst time maintenance is also called breaking-in maintenance. It is performed when the vehicle mileage has
accumulated to 1500~2500km in breaking-in period. First time maintenance must be conducted at the appointed
service shops. It includes:
1. Check if there is any leak in engine, transmission, and differential. Fix if there is any.
2. Replace engine oil filter, engine oil and ATF for A/T.
3. Check the level of engine coolant, braking fluid, windshield washing fluid, power steering fluid and if there
is any leak. Refill if the level is too low and repair if there is any leak.
4. Check if there is any damage in triangle arm and ball joint, connection ball joint, triangle arm flexible hinge,
or the ball joint is loose. If there is, fix or replace it.
5. Check if the drive shaft dust cover is damaged. If there is, replace it.
6. Check if there is any leak in steering mechanism, or front and rear absorber and fix it there is any.
7. Check the tire pressure, front 230kpa, and rear 210kpa.II. Regular maintenanceAfter first time maintenance, the vehicle is in regular usage life. During regular use, the vehicle needs to be
maintained regularly according to the way it is used in.
1.Regular maintenance for vehicles used under extreme bad conditions. Any of the condition below is defined
as extreme bad condition:
(1) Frequent start.
(2) Often drive the vehicle in dusty circumstances.
(3) Drive the vehicle in hot areas (such as in summer in the south).
