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.

nts cannot be reused.
2. Only use ATF DEXRON III power steering fluid.
3. No matter when the PS fluid reservoir level drops, check the PS fluid reservoir, steering pump, power
steering gear, and steering pipeline, as well as all the connections.
Methods:
Two people are required to add power steering fluid. With the engine off, one person pours the fluid
into the PS fluid reservoir, while the other repeatedly turns the steering wheel from lock to lock for
more than 10 laps, until the steering fluid level is between MAX and MIN. Start the engine and turn
the wheel from lock to lock again (Caution: Do not leave it at the two extreme points for more than 5s).
When the fluid level goes down, refill the steering fluid until it is be\
tween MAX and MIN.

Functional description and display program
1. This system will be activated within the first second after engaging the reverse gear. There will be two
beeps indicating the system is working properly.
2. After the self-check, it will start its normal detection mode. The relationship between the obstacle
distance and the alarm frequency is as follows:
A Zone: When it is a long sounding alarm, the obstacle is within the distance of (0-40±4) cm.
B Zone: When the alarm frequency is an 8 Hz continuous sound, the obstacle is within the distance of
(40±4-90±4) cm.
C Zone: When the alarm frequency is a 4 Hz intermittent sound, the obstacle is within the distance of (90±4-
150±4) cm.
Areas of importance
1. When placed near a car equipped with the same system or a similar system (having been activated)
offered by other suppliers, though this system may receive interference, i\
t can still operate normally.
2. When the relative rate of travel between the obstacle and the car is lower than 1 m/s, this system will
operate as normal. When reverse speed is accelerated, the sensing accuracy of the reverse system
may decrease. A low speed of 6 km/h is suggested.
3. When it is a long sounding alarm, please stop the car at once, because there may be an obstacle
within 40cm.
4. The inductor precision level is high. It will be very difficult to return it to normal after opening the inner
portion.
5. The reflected signal may not be received due to the location, angle, size, or material of the object.
Furthermore, the reflected signal in a complex environment may not be ac\
curate.
System malfunction causes and solutions
1. A lack of power or a low supply voltage may lead to the abnormal operation of the reverse sensor
system. Under such circumstances, check whether the supply battery voltage is normal, or whether
the ignition switch connector and other connections are accurately place\
d.
2. If the power supply is on, irregular system operation may be caused by the incorrect position of the
socket. Under such circumstances, correctly re-place all the sockets.
3. A long sounding alarm from the buzzer may be caused by the inductor coming off, incorrect installa-
tion, damage to the inductor, or detecting the car or ground. Under such circumstances, please repair
or replace the sensor.
4. Incorrect indication of an obstacle's distance may be caused by abnormal battery voltage, inaccurate
socket positioning, or inductor connection damage. At this time, check whether the battery voltage
is normal, and whether the inductor connection is connected to the exhaust pipe and muffler. It is
suggested that the system be turned off and all the sockets be correctly placed.

Power Windows
The GWFLORID electric power window actuator consist of a motor and module. Its functions include: jam
protection, centralized control rise, soft-stop, characterized by easy control, long life, etc.
The functions of electric power window actuator
1. Jam protection
Power windows have an jam protection function when manually or automatically rising after it has been
initialized. There is no limit on the amount of jam protections. When room temperature is 25±5oC, wire
resistance 150 mΩ and 14.5 V working voltage, the jam protection force risen glass is less than 100 N. When the
window is manually or electrically rising, once it encounters a force greater than the jam protection force, the glass
will immediately stop rising and make the motor rotate in reverse. Rever\
se rotation distance is about 125 mm.
2. Centralized control rise
The central door lock controller provides four lifters with a low level signal. The power windows will close until
they are completely closed. This enables the two power window actuators to start separately, which can avoid
hitting peak currents if they start up at the same time. As long as the centralized controller's rising pin receives
the low level signal, the motor will close the window until it is comple\
tely closed.
3. Soft-stop
If the motor suffers from an impacting block when the window is rolled all the way up or all the way down, it
would shorten the power window actuator's use life. In order to avoid this, the soft-stop function must be used,
in which both manual and automatic rolling up and down should have this \
function.
(a) Soft close function:
When the window is about to get to the top, that is to say, when it's rising to the soft-stop point, the engine's
power will cut off to make the motor stop working, meanwhile the rising inertia will continue to roll the
window up to the top. The soft-stop point is about 2 mm under the top limiting position.
(b) When the window is about to lower to the bottom, that is to say, when it's lowering to the soft-stop point,
the engine's power will cut off to make it stop working, meanwhile the lowering inertia will continue to roll
the window down to the bottom. The soft-stop point is about 12 mm above the bottom limiting position.
(c) Zero position calibration: This position takes the top limiting position as the zero position. In order to
guarantee reliable and safer system operation while in use, the zero pos\
ition will need constant calibration.
Manual calibration: When the window stops at the rising soft-stop position after rising for a period,
press the rise button so it will rise to the limiting position. Zero cal\
ibration is then complete.
Automatic calibration: After the motor runs forward and reverse more than 20 times, it will undergo
zero position calibration one time. That is to say, when it completely starts or stops operating, the motor will
be blocked one time. Currently, there is no soft close or start-up function. Zero position calibration is com-
pleted when the window is completely closed to the limiting position.
4. Motor locked protection
The control module will cut off the power supply to stop the motor from working within 250 ms of the l\
ocking.
5. Motor temperature protection
When the control module is powered on, the initial temperature of the motor is set at 40oC. There are two
temperature limits for the motor's thermal protection function. If the temperature of the coil exceeds the first
temperature limit (170oC), the motor will not respond to any new operation input, but it will still complete the present
operation. If the motor's temperature exceeds the first temperature limit during its operation, it will keep working until
the temperature of the motor coil reaches the second temperature limit (190oC), then the motor will not be limited by
the second temperature's threshold while reversing, so as to guarantee the safety of the users. Once the temperature of
the motor has lowered below the temperature limit, the motor will work normally.
6. Self-diagnostic protection function
So as to guarantee the system's reliability while improving the system's average non-failure time, self-diagnostic
protection measures are used: If the power supply voltage exceeds 16 V, the control module will close the auto-
rising function.
(a) Switch contact point adhesion:
If it is detected that the switch contact point adhesion has reached up to 10 m input instructions will no
longer be received. If later the switch contact is detected to be disconnected again, it's function will return
to normal.
(b) Relay contact point adhesion:
The power window actuator is controlled by two contact point relays.
After a shutoff command is sent to one of the relays, if the system detects that this relay is still on, then
the system will choose this relay contact point for adhesion. Thereupon, the system will send out another
command to make the other electric relay switch on as well, so as to guarantee the motor's power supply is

Maintenance areas of importance
1. Initialization
Considering the system's stable and reliable operation is directly related to the state of the vehicle's door sheet
and weatherstrip, the initialization process is required at the assembly line for the overall vehicle. Continuously press
the rise button of the power window actuator to roll up the window. The window will stop rising after only rolling up
45 mm. Then, after releasing the glass switch, continuously press the rise button again. It will still only roll up 45 mm.
Basic initialization will be completed when the rise has been blocked. At this point, the system will possess all the
functions except the lowering soft-stop function. During the basic initialization rise process, there is no jam protection
function. The basic initialization is completed, and it will still have the automa\
tic lowering function.
2. Re-initialization & operating instructions are as follows
(a) This function is executable only when the following items are carried out.
• Manually correct the zero position function.
• The window rests at the mechanism dead center zero position.
(b) Within two seconds of the zero position (after the motor is blocked), release the button, then press the
button again for at least 20 s.
(c) After 20 s, the window will automatically lower about 46 mm, indicating that the characteristic curve and
zero position have been deleted.
(d) After it is deleted, the power window will only have manual function.
(e) Start initialization again.
cut off. Before sending out any new input instructions, the software will first detect whether the adhesive
contact point of the relay has been released. If it has been released, then all the operations, including the
sleep pattern, will once again be executable. If the contact point is still adhered, then only operations
going in one direction have the possibility of execution (depending on which direction the relay contact is
adhered). Then soon afterwards, activate the contact point adhesion handling funct\
ion again.
(c) Motor protection when the Hall element failed or magnetic ring damaged.
If the Hall element or magnetic ring has malfunctioned, the control module can not receive the Hall
element's signal. In this case, the control module will return to the state before basic initialization, which
means it can only rise about 45 mm at most, and it will not have the jam protection function. During
the process of a centralized control rise, re-initialization is prohibited. Once any switch is activated, the
window will stop moving.

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

5. When charging the refrigerant, carefully observe the
high pressure side of the manifold pressure gauge as
well as the refrigerant's rate of flow (limpid, foamy, hazy)
which can all be seen from the inspection window. Use
this window to determine the appropriate time to stop
charging the refrigerant (by closing the low pressure
valve).
When the compressor is operating, please do not close the
high pressure valve.
Before inspecting the cooling level, confirm the regulated
refrigerant charge quantity for the air conditioning system.
Determine the charge amount for the refrigerant charge.
Please carry out the setup according to the following
working conditions.
Engine's water tank temperature: steady
Engine speed: normal idle
A/C switch: ON
Blower speed control switch: highest gear
Temperature controller: inner circulation
Door: completely open
Window: completely open
Filling Quantity and Method for Refrigerant Oil
First vacuum the refrigerant system to 0.2 × 10-5 Pa, then fill it with model number RS20 refrigerant. The steps
are as follows:
1. Close the high pressure, manually operated valve and the auxiliary valve\
.
2. Remove the high pressure side's hose from the manifold pressure gauge an\
d insert it into the oil cup.
3. Open the auxiliary valve and draw the refrigerant from the oil cup to th\
e refrigeration system.
4. When refrigerant in the oil cup is about to be fully vacuumed, immediately close the auxiliary valve, in
order to avoid sucking air into the system.
5. Screw the high pressure side hose connector onto the manifold pressure gauge, start the vacuum
pump and open the high pressure, manually operated valve, then open the auxiliary valve to vacuum
the system until it reaches 0.2 × 10-5 Pa, and continue to vacuum for 15 minutes to exhaust the air
which is entering the system following the oil.
Caution: When replacing an old compressor with a new one, be sure to bleed out some oil in order to
level off the new and the old compressor's oil level, and to avoid an excessive oil amount influencing
the cooling effect. When using an old or repaired compressor, be sure to keep the refrigerant inside
the compressor the same level as the one that is being replaced.
Daily Maintenance of the Air Conditioning System
In order to guarantee the air conditioning system's normal operation, regular maintenance should be performed.
Daily maintenance for the air conditioning system is as follows:
1. Inspect and clean the air conditioning system's condenser. The cooling fin's insides need to be
cleaned, with no blockage in between. After driving in the rain or on a muddy road, check the
condenser fan for silt or rocks. If any are found, immediately clean the\
m up.
2. Inspect the refrigeration system's refrigerant amount: When the air conditioning unit is operating
normally, observe the oil check glass. Under normal conditions, the oil check glass should have no air
bubbles.
3. Inspect the drive belt. The belt between the compressor and the decoration cover should be tight\
.
4. Check the air conditioning system to make sure there is no irregular noi\
se or unusual odors.
5. Check the compressor's inlet and exhaust port areas to make sure the tem\
perature is normal.
6. Check to make sure the appearance of the refrigeration system's hose is correct and that all the
connections are firm.
7. Inspect if the refrigeration system's pipelines run into other components, and any traces of leaking oil
at each connection.
8. Check and make sure the refrigeration system's circuit connector is firm, and any sign of circuit
disconnection.
9. Inspect if the compressor's fastening bolts are sturdy, reliable or flawed.
