Vehicle road test methods
1. Drive the vehicle and find out if the swaying is coming from the front tires or the back tires. Then replace the
identified problem tire with a good tire (one that has been tested on t\
he same model of vehicle).
2. If unable to determine the problem tire, replace the rear wheels. Continue with the road test. If the driving
condition obviously changes, replace the original tires, and only switch one at a time until the problem tire is
identified.
3. If no obvious improvement, replace all four tires with good tires, and then replace the original tires one by
one following the steps mentioned above.
Tire's abnormal wear and tear
Tire's abnormal wear and tear includes uneven and excessive
w e a r o f t h e t i r e . T h e r e a r e m a n y c a u s e s f o r t h i s . F o r
example, improper tire pressure, tire rotation has not been
timely maintained, bad driving habits, abnormal front wheel
location, etc.
Change the tires when the below situations happen:
1. When the extents of wear and tear of the front and rear
tires are different.
2. When any of the tire's tread has uneven wear and tear.
3. When the extents of the wear and tear of the left and right
front tires are different.
4. When the extents of wear and tear of the left and right rear
wheels are different.
5. When the groove of the tire tread wear appears abnormal
and the tire's contact area starts to flatten.
Inspect the front wheel alignment when the following
situations occur:
1. When the extents of the wear and tear of the left and right
front tires are different.
2. When any of the tire's tread has uneven wear and tear.
3. When the tread pattern strip or pattern block of a front
tire's single side is badly worn.
[A]
[B]
[A]: Steering problems, air pressure not sufficient, or tire rotation has not been timely maintained. [B]: Abnormal front wheel alignment, tire or wheel structure is not the same.
Radial tire sway
Here the sway means the vehicle's front or rear part shakes
from side to side, together or individually. Tire sway is
caused by the steel wire belt inside the tire not being straight.
The sway is the most obvious when the vehicle runs at the
speed of 8-48 km/h.
Road tests can help finding malfunctioning tires. If the
malfunction is with the rear tires, then left and right shaking
or "swaying" would take place at the back of the vehicle.
Here the driver of the vehicle would feel as if someone were
pushing from one side of the vehicle.
If the malfunction is with the front tires, swaying would be
even more obvious. The metal plate in the front may seem
moving back and forth, and the driver feels as if he/she were
at the vehicle's center of rotation.
Wear marks
There are several tread wear marks (refer to location A in the
diagram shown on the left) inside of the tire's pattern groove.
These marks indicate that the tire has been worn to the point
of replacing.
Before the tire's usage limit, indicated by the remaining
pattern's depth, reaches 1.6 mm (and its main pattern groove
bottom protrudes to the same level), for your safety, please
replace the tire.
When serious eccentric wear leads to the partial protrusion
of the cord fabric level, or outside objects damage the tire to
a depth that reaches the cord fabric level or steel band level,
stop using the tire.

Wheel
General tire balancing procedures
Clean out the accumulated dirt and debris from the inside of the rim.
Warning:
The gravel on the tread must be eliminated to avoid flying out and injuring the operator when
undergoing rotational balancing. This is also a good way to acquire better balance. First thoroughly
inspect the tire's damaged condition, then according to the balancing device manufacture's
recommendations, carry out the balancing operation.
Off-vehicle balancing
Most off-vehicle balancers are more accurate and convenient than on-vehicle rotational balancers. They are
also able to perform dynamic (two sided) balancing. Although it does not correct drum brake and brake disc
imbalance like on-vehicle balancing, it achieves the same effect based on its accuracy.
On-vehicle balancing
On-vehicle balancing is different based on equipment and tool manufacturer. Therefore, when performing
balancing operations, be sure to comply to each manufacturer's operating\
instructions.
Warning: Control the wheel rotation speed to make sure the speedometer stays within 55 km/h.
This restriction is necessary because when a driven wheel slides while the other one stays still, the
speedometer will display only half of the actual wheel speed. When a wheel is sliding, be extremely
careful, because sliding wheels can reach very high speeds. This may lead to the tire rubber peeling
or differential damage, which may cause serious personal injury, or damage to the vehicle.
Tire installation and removal
• Install or remove tires with a tire changer. When operating machinery, make sure to comply to the machine
manufacturers operation manual. Please do not change tires merely with manual hand tools or tire installation
crowbars. This will damage the tire chafer or the vehicle wheel's rim.
• Use a wire brush or coarse steel wool to clean off grease and old rubber, as well as light rust or corrosion from
the rim tire bead's tire chafer seat. Before tire installation or removal, first use the indicated tire lubricant to
thoroughly lube the tire chafer portions one time.
• After installing the tire, inflate it to the specified pressure and make\
sure the tire bead is properly seated.
Warning: Do not over-inflate the tire. If the tire bead severally expands and exceeds the safety limit,
it may burst and cause serious personal injury. While inflating, do not exceed the specified pressure.
If the specified pressure does not allow the tire bead to sit properly, deflate the tire, re-lubricate, and
then re-inflate.
Spare tire usage
• Spare tire standard inflation pressure: 420 kPa.
• Spare tire pressure measurements should be taken under normal temperatur\
e conditions.
• After inflating the spare tire, soapy water should be used to check if the air nozzles core is leaking air, then
lock on the air nozzle cap.
• The spare tire should always be kept in a useable state. Check the air p\
ressure at least once a month.
• When the spare tire's working limit, indicated by the remaining pattern's depth, reaches 1.6 mm (and its pat-
tern groove bottom protrudes to the same level), for your safety, please stop using the spare tire.
Caution:
• The "" symbol on the tire bead of the spare tire in-
dicates the set position of the wear index (shown on
the left).
• The spare tire's maximum driven speed is 80 km/h,
and maximum distance 200 km per trip.
• Each vehicle is allowed to use only one spare tire.
• The spare tire is only used as a temporary backup.
Please go to a professional service station immediately
to get the initial tire repaired or replaced.

3. Installing the ABS rear wheel speed sensor with brack-
et assembly.
Use three hexagon head bolts, spring washers, and flat
washer subassembly connecting pieces to connect the sensor
to the rear hub unit, rear twist beam, and vehicle body.
ABS General Problem Maintenance and Areas of Importance
Common problems and solutions
1. When braking, the ABS hydraulic pressure unit noise is overly loud.
When the ABS is working, the motor inside the hydraulic pressure unit is ceaselessly rotating. At this time the
driver can feel the brake pedal bouncing back. However, this bounce back feeling will be entirely different
depending on the speed and road condition. Also, when performing an actuator movement test, the sound of the
running motor may also be sensed. When the vehicle is being driven and the brake is off, the sound of the motor
running can still occasionally be heard. This is the ABS undergoing component inspection, not a malfunction.
If the ABS hydraulic pressure unit noise is irregular, a movement test can be initiated. Compare the noise to that
of normal vehicles to determine if ABS hydraulic pressure unit noise is abnormal.
2. Inlet and outlet solenoid valve failure.
Once the ignition switch is ON, the ABS control unit automatically initiates a self-check. If an inlet and outlet solenoid
valve short circuit or open circuit is found, it will record the failure, light up the fault light, and abort the operation. If using a
scanner to adjust the problem code, make sure to use the movement test t\
o confirm that the solenoid valve has a problem and
then replace the hydraulic pressure unit directly.
X431 data flow: While the ABS is functioning, the inlet and outlet solenoid valves rapidly change operating
conditions.

3. Wheel speed sensor malfunction.
With the engine running, use a oscilloscope to measure the voltage between the sensor's signal line and the
ground.
Output signal when wheel is stationary:
Output signal when the wheels are rotating: signal type is 0.44 V and 1.26 V square wave signal, duty cycle: 50: 50.

not necessarily mean that engine start failure is due to a immobilizer system malfunction. The reasons for start-
ing engine failures are numerous, including factors like fuel, gas, fire, electricity, wires, etc. If the engine cannot
start, first check if the immobilizer system is working normally. This can be judged by looking at the flashing
theft deterrent indicator lamp which is located on the dashboard in front of the driver seat: Insert the key into the
lock cylinder and turn it to the "ON" position. If a legal key is used to start the engine, once the warning lamp is
connected to the ON end and the transponder is confirmed, the LED will remain unlit. Then when the ON end is
disconnected and the key is pulled out, the LED will shine for 0.25 s and darken for 4 s, as to act as a warning.
If an illegal key is used to start up the engine or there is something wrong with the system, the alarm indicator
lamp will shine for 0.25 s and darken for 4 s. If all is normal, then check the other parts of the engine. If abnor-
mal, first perform immobilizer system troubleshooting. A scanner can be used to judge if the immobilizer system
is working normally, but the precondition is that the scanner must be able to establish communication with the
theft deterrent controller.
1. If communication cannot be established, consider the following:
(a) Check whether the battery voltage is higher than 9 V
(b) Check whether the scanner plug is well contacted to the vehicle socket
(c) Use a multimeter to check whether the 7 pin of the OBD-II plug (diagnostic plug) is connected to the theft
deterrent controller's A7 pin
(d) Check whether the power supply of the theft deterrent controller is normal. (Use a multimeter to measure
whether the voltage of the theft deterrent controller's socket A1 pin and A2 pin is higher than 9 V)
(e) Then adopt the substitution method, which is to replace the theft deterrent controller to check if there is
anything wrong with the theft deterrent controller.
• If the failure is related to the theft deterrent controller, change it and initiate re-matching.
• If the failure has nothing to do with the theft deterrent controller, remove the electronic controller which
is connected to the alarm's K wire, such as the ABS controller, engine electrojet controller, airbag ECU
assembly, etc., as to ascertain if the present fault is caused by the wire harness connected with the theft
deterrent controller's K wire.
2. If communication can be established
Connect the scanner to the vehicle diagnostic port. Insert the key into the steering lock, and turn it to the "ON"
position, then select the scanner to check the immobilizer system's trou\
ble code.
3. Security system troubleshooting
Investigate the problem and perform troubleshooting according to the tro\
uble code on the scanner:

multimeter to check the resistance between the B1 and B2
pins. The normal resistance is about 5-30 Ω. If the resistance
is close to zero, that means the coil has been short circuited.
If the resistance is infinite, then it means the coil's circuit is
open. Measure the resistance between pins B1 and B3, and
B2 and B3, normally they are infinite. If the resistance gains
a certain value, then it means the coil is short circuited or
leaking electricity.
If there is nothing wrong with the coil, the next step is to 4.
check the theft deterrent controller. Adopt the substitution
approach, replace it with a non-matched new theft deterrent
controller or an theft deterrent controller which has been
reset (please refer to the immobilizer system component
replacement). Insert the key into the ignition lock and turn it
to the "ON" position and read the trouble code. If there is no
9000 failure, it means the replaced controller has an internal
malfunction, and the new replaced controller must be re-
matched.

4. Security system component replacement
When a failure appears in one of the immobilizer system components, this component must be replaced. After
the replacement, perform matching on the immobilizer system again.
Only changing the coil
There is no need to match the immobilizer system again.
Only changing the key (theft deterrent transponder assembly)
(a) Get the vehicle's PIN code from the code located inside the burglar-proof classified envelope
(b) Connect the scanner with the vehicle's diagnostic connection
(c) Insert the key into the ignition lock and turn it to the "ON" position
(d) Check whether the key is legal and matched. If it is illegal or already been matched, then it cannot be
matched again, but will have to be replaced
(e) Input the PIN code with the scanner
(f) Erase the damaged lost key's information
(g) Match the new key according to the scanner's prompt
(h) If it is necessary to match another key, insert the key, and after resetting the scanner, operate according to
steps c, d, e, and g.
Caution: Make sure the key is legal and hasn't been matched before learning the key. Otherwise, the
immobilizer system won’t successfully match or the scanner will display that it has been matched but
the electrojet's validation is not available.
Only replacing the theft deterrent controller assembly
(a) Get the vehicle's PIN code from the code inside the burglar-proof classified envelope
(b) Turn off the ignition switch, and replace with an unmatched new theft deterrent controller or reset the theft
deterrent controller
(c) Insert the key into the ignition lock and turn it to the ON position
(d) Input the PIN code with the scanner
(e) Match the theft deterrent controller assembly according to the scanner prompts
(f) Because the theft deterrent controller is new, there is no VIN and original key information stored in it. It
will need the VIN inputted and must be matched with the original key, otherwise the original key will not
work.
Caution:
(a) Replace the new alarm remote controller or reset the alarm remote controller, or the alarm re-
mote controller system matching can not be completed.
(b) Select "Read EMS to alarm remote controller", not "Read alarm remote controller to EMS", or it
will make the transponder inoperable.
Only replacing the engine ECU
(a) Get the vehicle's PIN code from the code inside the burglar-proof classified envelope
(b) Turn off the ignition switch, and replace with a new non-matched or reset ECU
(c) Insert the key into the ignition lock and turn it to the ON position
(d) Input the PIN code with the scanner
(e) Match the ECU according to the prompts on the scanner, and complete the ECU and theft deterrent
controller matching.
Caution:
(a) Make sure to replace it with a new or reset ECU, otherwise the immobilizer system matching can-
not be completed.
(b) Select the menu of "Read EMS to theft deterrent controller", but not "Read theft deterrent control-
ler to EMS", or it will make the transponder inoperable.
Replacing the theft deterrent controller and EMS controller at the same\
time
If both the theft deterrent controller and EMS controller need to be changed at the same time, then the transpon-
der that has been matched must also be replaced, otherwise the immobilizer system matching cannot be com-
pleted. The immobilizer system needs to be re-matched after being replace.
Matching after sales stage
Problems caused by lost keys or immobilizer system failures requires a duplicate key, replaced parts, etc. These
problems cannot be solved without re-matching the immobilizer system's parts. During the matching, input the
correct PIN code with scanner. Specific possible problems and matching methods the maintenance station may
encounter are as follows:
1. Match an empty key:
(a) Properly connect the engine ECU and the theft deterrent controller, and then insert the key to be matched,
and switch the ignition switch to the ON position

Clutch Installation
1. Install the solenoid coil at the place pressing up against the head cover's end surface and pay atten-
tion to insert the dowel pin of the solenoid coil into the bottom hole of the head cover. Put the retaining
ring into the groove with circlip pliers, and press the solenoid coil's connecting wire onto the pressing
line plate on the head cover with a SST.
2. Put the compressor on a specially designed fixture or platform, with its head cover facing upwards.
Press the pulley into the head cover shaft, and put the pulley bearing's retaining ring into the groove
with circlip pliers.
3. Install the armature onto the main shaft's spline and seize the clutch's triangular piece with a clamp.
Then tighten the inner hexagon lock screws and washers with a torque wrench. Screw torque should
be between 150-180 N·m. After installation is done, make sure to check if the clutch's pulley and
armature are able to operate freely, and also check the clearance between the pulley and armature,
which should be 0.3-0.6 mm.
Vacuuming and Charging Refrigerant
Initiate vacuum pumping by using the manifold pressure
gauge connected to the air conditioner (compressor) pipeline
and vacuum pump. When the vacuum pumping starts, open
the manifold pressure gauge's high and low pressure valve,
and open the vacuum pump's end surface valve (if equipped),
then press the "ON" button to start the vacuum pump, and let it
run for at least 20 minutes. When the manifold pressure gauge
shows -760 mmHg or lower, close the high and low pressure
valve, and press the switch to turn off the vacuum pump.

Inspect air tightness
After shutting off the vacuum pump, continue to inspect
the pressure reading of the manifold pressure gauge. If the
pressure reading remains unchanged for 20 minutes after
the vacuum pump stops operating, the refrigeration system
is proven to have no leak. One may continue to the next
step. If the reading changes, the system has a leak. Carry out
an inspection, and after repairing the leaking section, start
vacuum pumping once more.
Charge refrigerant
After verifying the system's air tightness, connect the
refrigerant tank (or gas cylinder) and yellow air supply hose
head. Connect the yellow air supply hose's other head with
the injection port in the middle of the manifold pressure
gauge. Ensure the refrigerant tank and air supply hose's nut
is tightly connected, then open the refrigerant tank's valve.
At this time, the high and low pressure valve is closed. Use
a tip shaped screwdriver or similar instrument and press
the valve core at the side port for 1-2 s, then expel the air
between the air supply hose and manifold gauge.
Perform switch operations according to the
following methods
1. Switch the front and rear blower speed control switch
to the highest settings, and rotate the temperature
control switch to the coldest position.
2. Press down the A/C switch, and set inner/outer circula-
tion to inner circulation mode. Open the doors and win-
dows during this procedure.
3. Adjust the engine's speed to the regulated idle speed.
4. Hold up the refrigerant tank or gas cylinder (emptying

SRS airbag warning lamp inspection
1. When the ignition switch is set to the ON position, check if the SRS warning lamp remains on for 6-7 s.
2. If the SRS warning lamp shuts off after 6-7 s, this is normal.
3. Except for the items listed above, diagnostic inspection is still needed\
.
System diagnosis
Airbag ECU will initiate a series of diagnostic test cycles to check if the airbag system functions are ready for
use. This diagnostic test can guard against the restraint system's faulty execution and at the same time guarantee
prompt execution in a collision. If a malfunction appears, airbag ECU will store the appropriate trouble code and
light up the warning lamp to point out the malfunction, as to make maint\
enance more convenient.
Diagnostic interface
Troubleshooting
Basic processes of the malfunction diagnostic
There are two SRS-ECU malfunctions types classified by time: current malfunction and history malfunction.
The malfunction types categorized by property are: external malfunction \
and internal malfunction.
Current malfunction trouble codes and history malfunction trouble codes may exist at the same time. External
malfunction trouble codes can be eliminated with a diagnostic instrument, but the internal malfunction trouble
codes cannot be cleared unless the SRS-ECU is changed.
Caution: After installing a new SRS airbag system electronic control unit, the airbag system warning
lamp will remain on for 6-7 s when the ignition switch is set to the ON position. This indicates that
the SRS airbag is operating properly. At this point, the system does not need to be inspected and
repaired. Aside from this case however, the system should be diagnosed and repaired.
