1. GUIDELINES FOR SERVICE WORKS
1) For Safety
To perform the service works easily ans safely, the service technicians must keep the proper working
procedures and rules.
This manual provides the useful instructions to the service technicians so that they can perform the
servive works with standard working process, skills, tips in time.
Please read this manual and follow the instructions carefully.
indicates information to assist maintenance and instructions.
However, above references and cautions cannot be inclusive measures, so should have habits of
paying attentions and cautions based on common senses.
indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate
injury or property damage.
indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious
injury.

3) General Instructions
Before lifting up the vehicle with a lift, correctly support the lifting points.
When using a jack, park the vehicle on a level ground and place the wheel chocks under the tires.
Position the jack under the frame and lift up the vehicle and then support with chassis stand before
service work.
Make sure to disconnect the negative (-) cable from the battery to prevent any damage to electric
systems.
If you have to work on vehicle, cover the seats and floor with protection covers to avoid any
damage and contamination.
Brake fluid and anti-freeze can damage the painted surface of body. So carefully handle them
during service work.
To improve the efficiency of service work, use only recommended and specified tools.
Use only Ssangyong genuine spare parts.
Never reuse the cotter pin, gasket, O-ring, oil seal, lock washer and self-locking nut. Replace them
with new ones. If reused, normal functions cannot be maintained.
Store the disassembled parts as a set based on disassembly order and unit.
Pay particular attention not to miss or mix the fasteners.
If necessary, especially for inspection, clean the removed parts completely.
Apply the oil or grease on the running and sliding surfeces before installation. Use the specified
sealant and gasket to prevent leakage if necessary.
Tighten the fasteners to the specified tightening torque.
As a final stage of service work, check if the serviced system is working properly and the problem
has been eliminated clearly. (1)

Manual transaxle: Transaxle can be separated after removing the front module (sub frame, engine
and transaxle).
Automatic transaxle: Transaxle can be separated after removing the sub frame. -

2) Equipment
Korando is FF (Front Engine Front Drive) type vehicle, and engine and powertrain system are
integrated into a module. Therefore, 2-post lift and general equipment are necessary when working
on the engine and transmission.
Major equipment: Engine and transmission jack, Engine stand, Engine crane, Transmission jack,
Engine hanger -

This information is used by the TCU to decide which shift pattern to select and for shift energy
management. Electro-hydraulic solenoid valves and variable bleed solenoids control the transaxle gear
changes.
Six variable bleed solenoids and four on/off solenoids are used to direct transaxle fluid flow to control the
fluid pressure within the three clutches and two bands. Separate pressure regulators are used
exclusively for torque converter clutch control and main transaxle line pressure.
The TCU monitors all TCU inputs and outputs to confirm correct system operation. If a fault occurs the
TCU is able to perform default action and inform the driver of the problem through the instrument cluster
warning lights. Detailed information is available via trouble codes which can be read with the service tool.

5. TRANSAXLE ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM
1) General Information
The transmission control unit (TCU) and its input/output network control the following transmission
operations:
Shift timing
Line pressure
Clutch pressure (shift feel)
Torque converter clutch -
-
-
-
also uses these signals when determining transaxle operating strategy. Using all of these input signals,
the TCU can determine when the time and conditions are right for a shift, or when to apply or release the
torque converter clutch. It will also determine the pressure needed to optimise shift feel.
2) TCU (Transmission Control Unit)
The transaxle control unit (TCU) is mounted
under the driver's seat and controls the operation
of the transaxle.
Internal sensors and signals received across the
CAN bus in analogue and digital forms such as:
Transaxle input speed
Transaxle output speed
Accelerator pedal position
Gear selector position
Engine torque
Engine speed
Transaxle fluid temperature
Brake pedal status
Engine oil temperature
Engine coolant temperature
Ambient air temperature
Barometric pressure -

A large quantity of non-toxic gas (nitrogen gas) is generated with a loud noise when the air bag or
seat belt pretensioner deploys. If these airborne particles irritate your skin, eyes, nose, or throat, rinse
the area with cool water. If the irritation continues, see your doctor.
The windshield glass may be broken when the passenger air bag deploys.
The air bag is a unit to save an occupant's life from a sudden accident and it inflates at a very fast
speed by gas with high temperature, which might cause injury, such as an abrasion, bruise and burn
depending on the accident conditions.
The air bag components will be very hot after deployment. Do not touch them.
The deployed air bag/seat belt pretensioner cannot deploy again. It will work when an additional
impact is applied. Once the air bag system is triggered, the triggered air bag assembly should be
removed from the vehicle and replaced with a new one.
The air bag warning lamp is illuminated for 3 to 7 seconds after the engine is started to check
the system. If this warning lamp remains ON, then the system may be defective. Have the air
bag system checked immediately by Ssangyong Dealer or Ssangyong Authorized Service
Operation.
Incorrect inspection can result in serious injuries or malfunctions in the air bag and seat belt
pretensioner system. 12.
