2013 SSANGYONG KORANDO check engine

Engine starting
When the START/STOP button is pressed with the brake pedal applied and gear selector lever in P or
N position, the SKM performs the immobilizer verification and sends the engine START request signal
to the EMS if a normal coded smart key is found.
When the .engine start request signal from the START/STOP switch is received, the SKM sends the
start request signal through the P-CAN and the vehicle power status signal to the BCM through the B-
CAN.
The SKM cuts the power for IGN2 and ACC relays while the engine is cranking as cutting the electric
load is necessary.
The SKM receives the engine start status signal from the EMS (ECU) through the P-CAN. 1.

The SKM turns on the ACC/IGN2 relays after the engine cranking and sends the signal for IGN after
starting to the BCM through the B-CAN.
When the START/STOP button is pressed and engine cranking request1 signal is sent, the EMS
(ECU) cranks the engine after checking the engine warming up. If the engine cranking request2
signal is sent, the EMS cranks the engine without checking the engine warming up. 5.

Engine cranking request1
(engine start after
warming up)When the START/STOP button is pressed briefly under the start
conditions, the vehicle starts to warming up and then the engine is started
after a certain amount of time (warming up indicator ON to OFF).
Engine cranking request2
(engine start without
warming up)When the START/STOP switch is pressed once again while the engine
cranking request1 signal is sent, the engine is started (regardless of
warming up indicator)
It can be delayed by several seconds according to the engine
coolant temperature.
Starting engine while driving 7.
The engine start request signal is sent when the START/STOP switch is pressed, provided that the
vehicle speed is less than 10 Km/h or no vehicle speed signal is input, the gear selector lever is in
N position and the brake switch is ON with IGN ON (30 sec. verification is not required).
The engine start request signal is sent regardless of the brake signal when the START/STOP
switch is pressed, provided that the vehicle speed is 10 Km/h or more and the gear selector lever is
in N position with IGN ON (30 sec. verification is not required). -

1. WIPER CONTROL
2. CAUTIONS ON RAIN SENSOR
When the wiper switch is in the AUTO position, the wiper will operate for 1 cycle if the initial engine
start is made. This may cause the wiper blades to wear prematurely. Therefore, other than rainy
days, set the switch to the OFF position. Especially during the winter time, check if the wiper blades
are not frozen to the windshield.
Operating the wiper with the blades frozen can damage the wiper motor.
If you operate the wipers when the windshield is dry without spraying washer fluid, the windshield
can be scratched and the wiper blades can wear prematurely. Use the wiper with the washer fluid
when the windshield is dry.
When it does not rain, turn the wiper switch to the OFF position.
Turn the wiper switch to the OFF position before any car wash to avoid unwanted operation of the
wipers. -

Check if the sensor is off the position.
Check if the rain sensor cover is securely installed.
Check if the customer is familiar to how to control the wiper sensitivity.
Check if the wiper sensitivity control is set to the FAST side (step 5).
Check the wiper blade for wear.
If the wiper blade cannot wipe the glass uniformly and clearly, it may cause the rain sensor to work
irregularly. Therefore, in this case, replace the wiper blade with a new one. -

-Irregular operation (abrupt operation)
When cleaning the windshield over the sensor with damp clothes, the wiper may operate suddenly. It
could cause serious injury. Make sure to place the wiper switch to the OFF position and ignition switch
OFF when not in use.

Ensure that the connection or disconnection between the audio system and the USB memory/iPod
is carried out only when the engine is switched off. If the engine is switched on or off while the USB
memory is connected or disconnected, the USB memory may be damaged or not operate normally.
The audio system may not recognize some USB memory depending on the comparability or
condition. Check whether the USB memory operates normally in the vehicle before using it.
Take great care to ensure that the USB connection does not come in contact with the human body
or any object and the USB linking cable does not disturb a safe driving.
When you connect and disconnect the USB memory to the audio system several times in a short
