Description

The 2.49 & 2.6 liter is Turbocharged & Intercooled common rail direct injected
diesel engine. The specifications for both the Engines are as mentioned below:
ENGINE
SPECS 2.49 L 2.6 L

BORE 94 94
STROKE 90 94
POWER 105 BHP @ 3800 rpm 115 BHP @ 3800 rpm
TORQUE 257 Nm @ 1800 rpm 283 Nm @ 1800 rpm

A waste gated turbocharger controls the boost to 2.2 bar. The compressed
air is cooled by the charge intercooler which is mounted upstream of the
turbocharger. The cooled air enters the inlet manifold’s plenum and it
enters the Cast iron cylinder head through the inlet valves having a 45-
degree angle. A boost pressure sensor is incorporated in the system to
measure the air boost.

Boost Pressure
Sensor

The piston features re-entrant type combustion chamber and having


ferrous ring insert in the Top ring groove. A 3-ring pack is used. The top
ring is asymmetrical barrel face and with CKS coating and keystone shape.
The 2nd ring is taper faced. The 3rd is Conformable Oil Ring. The piston is
having an offset of 0.5 mm.

The forged connecting rod is connected to induction-hardened crankshaft.


The small end of the connecting rod is trapezoidal shaped to reduce the
mass as well as to ensure higher loading. The crankshaft is induction
hardened with the filets hardened & ground. The flywheel has a shrunk fit
ring gear and also a ball bearing to act as pilot for the gearbox input
shaft. The front end is having a rubber moulded dampener pulley
The high pressure pump & camshaft are chain driven.

Trouble Shooting

Refer to the Service diagnosis chart. Additional tests & diagnostic


procedures may be necessary for specific engine complaints that can not
be isolated using only the diagnostic chart.

Information concerning the additional checks is provided within the


following diagnostic.

Cylinder compression pressure Test

The results of the cylinder compression test can be utilized to diagnose


several engine malfunctions.

Before carrying out the compression test ensure that the battery is in
good working condition. Otherwise the indicated pressures may not be
valid for diagnostic purpose.

ƒ Remove all the injectors.


ƒ Fit the dummy injector (MST Tool) and connect it with the compression
gauge.
ƒ Disconnect the engine RPM sensor or phase sensor connector so that
the engine does not start.
ƒ Crank the engine.
ƒ Note the compression value should be 30 bars.
ƒ Repeat the procedure for the other cylinder.
ƒ Refer to the Specification for the value.

Engine cylinder Head Gasket Failure Diagnosis

A leaking engine cylinder head gasket usually results in loss of power, loss
of coolant and engine misfiring, overheating and poor fuel economy.

An engine cylinder head gasket leak can be:


A. Between adjacent cylinders
Or
B. Between a cylinder and adjacent water jacket.

Cylinder head gasket failure between cylinders is indicated by


Loss of power and /or engine misfiring.

Cylinder head gasket leaking between a cylinder and coolant passage


results in coolant foaming or overheating and loss of coolant indicate an
engine water jackets.

Cylinder to Cylinder Leakage Test

Check the cylinder compression pressure as already explained. Leakage


between cylinders will be result in drop of compression pressure by nearly
50 to 70% in the affected cylinders.

Cylinder to Water jacket Leakage Test

• Remove the radiator cap.


• Warm up the engine and allow it to warm up until the engine
thermostat opens.
• If large combustion /combustion pressure leak exist, bubbles will be
visible in coolant.
• If bubbles are not visible, install a radiator pressure tester and
pressurize the cooling circuit. If a cylinder is leaking combustion
pressure into the water jackets then the tester’s needle will pulsate
with every combustion stroke of the cylinder.

Care of the System --

The performance of the engine is dependent on ensuring that the


following maintenance is carried out as per the schedule without fail.

Accessory Belt : To be checked and adjusted if required at every 10,000


Kms. To be replaced at every 80,000 Kms.

Air cleaner: The element should be replaced at every 40,000 Kms or when
red indicator band shows. For the detailed procedure, refer to the Air
Intake System.

Oil:. The oil should conform to CH4 grade and with a viscosity Index of
15W40. It should be kept in mind that in the turbocharger engine the oil
has to have do an additional load of lubricating and cooling the
Turbocharger shaft If any oil of lower specification is used it can break
down under the high thermal load at the turbine end of the shaft
especially during the hot shutdown.
This oil grade also ensures that the oil consumption is within the desire
limits. Use Maximile Supreme Grade of oils. The Oil change intervals are
first at 5000 Kms. & then subsequently every 15000 Kms.

Cooling system: Ensure that no leakages are present. For details of the
coolant and ratio refer the Cooling System.

Turbocharger: The engine is having an exhaust gas driven turbocharger.


The turbocharger shaft speed varies from about 40, 000 when engine is
idling to about 1,70,000 when the engine is having the full rated RPM.

EGR: On vehicles fitted with EGR system the following additional points
check have to done during scheduled maintenance.

• Check for any exhaust gas leakage through sealing faces, EGR pipe.
Formation of any black soot indicates leakage.

• Check the vacuum hoses for any leaks, cracks.

• Retighten all nuts and bolts as per the recommend torque.

Tappet setting has to be carried out every 20000 Kms.

While doing the tappet clearance, in case of vehicle fitted with EGR
system ensure that the EGR pipe is not bent or overstress the pipes,
elbow.

If the pipes are removed then it is essential that while fitting back; new
gaskets be used. Do not open the pipe from one end only; it will cause the
pipe to twist. If the EGR pipe has to be removed, then open from both the
ends.

During acceleration and in higher loads the combustion chamber


temperatures increase. The high combustion temperatures increase the
NOx generation. The higher percentage of NOx generated in the
combustion chamber come out through the tail pipe in the atmosphere.

To reduce the amount of NOx coming through the tail pipe the EGR
system adds exhaust gases into the fresh air that is going into the
combustion chamber. Since the exhaust gas is already burnt hence when
mixed with fresh air acts an inert gas. Thus when the exhaust gas mixed
with fresh air enters the combustion chamber, it performs a dual role.
The first role it does is that it reduces the amount of oxygen available for
combustion. The second role that it acts is as a heat absorbent/heat sink.
The net effect is that it reduces the combustion temperatures. This
results in lower amount of NOx being generated.

To control the amount/percentage of exhaust gases to be circulated back


to the combustion chamber an ECU is used. The ECU monitors the coolant
temperature, attitude, engine speed, and accelerator pedal position and

the air flow. Based on the above parameters the ECU operates a switch
that in turn controls the amount of vacuum going to the EGR valve. The
amount of vacuum applied controls the lift of the EGR valve.

EGR Valve

Remove the EGR valve and check it valve-sticking, deposition of carbon


etc. If excess carbon deposits and sticky valve noticed then it should be
cleaned with a suitable solvent, so that the correct valve seat is ensured.

After cleaning the valve blow air from the bottom side of the valve and
check for any leakages.

EGR Cooler

EGR cooler is used in the Euro IV engine to cool the exhaust gases being
supplied to the engine.

EGR Pipe

Remove the EGR pipe and check for gas leakage, damages etc. Clean the
gasket seating area from any carbon deposits, burrs etc. Spray WD 40 rust
cleaning spray on the nut.

To check the pipe for any leakages, close one end of flange and from
other end blow air at 2 bars. Dip the pipe in water and observe if any
leakage is observed. If any leaks are observed then the pipe has to be
replaced. Do not attempt to weld/ seal the leakage joint

EGR Solenoid switch

The solenoid switch does not require any maintenance. For any damage
replace the component.

Vacuum Modulator Valve

Does not require any maintenance. However please check and confirm
that that the line from the modulator to air cleaner is clean and the hole
at the air cleaner hose end is not choked.

Working principle of Crankcase Ventilation System –

The ventilation system is closed ventilation type. A hose connects the


ladder frame / sump assembly to the oil separator. Te oil separator is a
labriyanth type. The oil goes through the labriyanth, the oil collected
drops down. The excess pressure acts below the diaphragm. The
diaphragm is acted from below by the crankcase pressure and from top
the suction by air cleaner. A spring also acts on top of the diaphragm.
Once the pressure exceeds the diaphragm lifts and the excess crankcase
pressure goes to the air intake system.

Certain amount of oil will be carried from the oil separator to the Air inlet
hose, which is normal. However if it is excessive please look for all the
causes mentioned in the high blow bye.

Oil circulation system –

An external gear type pump sucks the oil through the strainer. The oil
pump is driven by the gear, which is mounted, on the crankshaft.

The oil pump delivers pressurized oil to the supply bore in the block. This
oil is delivered to the oil cooler and after getting cooled comes on the

outer side of the element. The filtered oil goes through the centre of the
oil filter and is connected to the main oil gallery.

The main oil gallery runs to the front of the block where it is delivered to
the timing cover. From therein it takes a small loop in the timing cover
and again comes to the front of the block. Goes to another oil gallery. Oil
from this gallery supplies oil to the piston cooling jets

Oil from the main oil gallery goes to the crankshaft main journal and
camshaft, while from the rear end it is supplied to the alternator’s
vacuum pump. The oil supply for the turbocharger is from the oil filter
bracket.

The oil routed from the main oil gallery lubricates the timing gears and
the idler gear bush. Part of this oil gets sprayed from idler shaft hole. The
camshaft gear and the thrust plate are lubricated by engine oil routed
from the first camshaft bushing through the camshaft hole.

The oil from the First camshaft bush goes to the top of the cylinder and
enters an oil gallery, which extend up to 110 m from the front. Oil from
this gallery comes to the base of the first rocker shaft-mounting bracket.
The oil then enters the rocker shaft. Oil enters the rocker bushing at
through two holes facing the bottom half. At the same time it sprays from
the oil hole at the side of the rocker to lubricate the valve stem and the
surfaces over which the valve cap slides. The oil then returns to the sump
through the push rod holes in the cylinder head.

In both the oil cooler and oil filter, bypass valves are provided which
operate if the differential pressure exceeds 0.8 bar.

Description –
The 2.49 & 2.6 liter is Turbocharged & Intercooled direct injected diesel engine.
The specifications for both the Engines are as mentioned below:
ENGINE
SPECS 2.49 L 2.6 L

BORE 94 94
STROKE 90 94
POWER 105 BHP @ 3800 rpm 115 BHP @ 3800 rpm
TORQUE 257 Nm @ 1800 rpm 283 Nm @ 1800 rpm

A waste gated turbocharger controls the boost to 2.2 bar. The compressed air
is cooled by the charge intercooler which is mounted upstream of the
turbocharger. The cooled air enters the inlet manifold’s plenum and it enters
the Cast iron cylinder head through the inlet valves having a 45-degree
angle.

The piston features re-entrant type combustion chamber and having ferrous
ring insert in the Top ring groove. A 3-ring pack is used. The top ring is
asymmetrical barrel face and with CKS coating and keystone shape. The 2nd
ring is taper faced. The 3rd is Conformable Oil Ring. The piston is having an
offset of 0.5 mm

The forged connecting rod is connected to induction-hardened crankshaft.


The small end of the connecting rod is trapezoidal shaped to reduce the mass
as well as to ensure higher loading. The crankshaft is induction hardened
with the filets hardened & ground. The flywheel has a shrunk fit ring gear
and also a ball bearing to act as pilot for the gearbox input shaft. The front
end is having a rubber moulded dampener pulley
The FIP and the camshaft are driven by chain. The valves are overhead
valves.

Trouble Shooting –

Refer to the Service diagnosis chart. Additional tests & diagnostic procedures
may be necessary for specific engine complaints that can not be isolated
using only the diagnostic chart.
Information concerning the additional checks is provided within the following
diagnostic.

Cylinder compression pressure Test –

The results of the cylinder compression test can be utilized to diagnose


several engine malfunctions.

Before carrying out the compression test ensure that the battery is in good
working condition. Otherwise the indicated pressures may not be valid for
diagnostic purpose.

ƒ Remove all the injectors.


ƒ Fit the dummy injector (MST no. ) and connect it with the compression
gauge.
ƒ Disconnect the FIP’s solenoid.
ƒ Crank the engine.
ƒ Note the compression value should be 30 bars.
ƒ Repeat the procedure for the other cylinder.
ƒ Refer to the Specification for the value.

Engine cylinder Head Gasket Failure Diagnosis

A leaking engine cylinder head gasket usually results in loss of power, loss of
coolant and engine misfiring, overheating and poor fuel economy.

An engine cylinder head gasket leak can be:


A. Between adjacent cylinders
Or
B. Between a cylinder and adjacent water jacket.

Cylinder head gasket failure between cylinders is indicated by


Loss of power and /or engine misfiring.

Cylinder head gasket leaking between a cylinder and coolant passage results
in coolant foaming or overheating and loss of coolant indicate an engine
water jackets.

Cylinder to Cylinder Leakage Test:

Check the cylinder compression pressure as already explained. Leakage


between cylinders will be result in drop of compression pressure by nearly 50
to 70% in the affected cylinders.

Cylinder to Water jacket Leakage Test –


• Remove the radiator cap.
• Warm up the engine and allow it to warm up until the engine thermostat
opens.
• If large combustion /combustion pressure leak exist, bubbles will be
visible in coolant.
• If bubbles are not visible, install a radiator pressure tester and pressurize
the cooling circuit. If a cylinder is leaking combustion pressure into the
water jackets then the tester’s needle will pulsate with every combustion
stroke of the cylinder.

Care of the System –

The performance of the engine is dependent on ensuring that the following


maintenance is carried out as per the schedule without fail.

Fan belt tension: To be checked and adjusted if required at every 10,000


Kms.

Air cleaner: The air cleaner element to be cleaned at every 10,000 Kms. If
the red band shows earlier then the element has to be cleaned. The element
should be replaced at every 40,000 Kms or when the element paper is torn
when inspected by a light bulb. For the detailed procedure, refer to the Air
Intake System.

Oil: The oil filter and the oil should be changed every 10,000 Kms. The oil
should conform to CG4 grade and with a viscosity Index of 15W40. It should
be kept in mind that in the turbocharger engine the oil has to have do an
additional load of lubricating and cooling the Turbocharger shaft If any oil of
lower specification is used it can break down under the high thermal load at
the turbine end of the shaft especially during the hot shutdown.
This oil grade also ensures that the oil consumption is within the desire
limits. Use Maximile Premium Grade of oils. (If oil conforming to CF4 grade
is used then oil change interval has to be made 7000 Kms. Oil below CG 4
are not acceptable i.e. MIL 2104 C oils are not acceptable)

Cooling system: Ensure that no leakages are present. For details of the
coolant and ratio refer the Cooling System.

Turbocharger: The engine is having an exhaust gas driven turbocharger. The


turbocharger shaft speed varies from about40, 000 when engine is idling to
about 1,70,000 when the engine is having the full rated RPM.

Thus it very critical that while shutting down, the engine is allowed to run at
idle for at least one minute. Similarly the engine should be run at idle for 1
minute at starting before accelerating. Refer Turbocharger in the Intake
system for further details.

EGR: On vehicles fitted with EGR system the following additional points
check have to done during scheduled maintenance.

• Check for any exhaust gas leakage through sealing faces, EGR pipe.
Formation of any black soot indicates leakage.

• Check the vacuum hoses for any leaks, cracks.

• Retighten all nuts and bolts as per the recommend torque.

• Check blink codes every 10,000 kms.

Tappet setting has to be carried out every 20000. Kilometers.

While doing the tappet clearance, in case of vehicle fitted with EGR system
ensure that the EGR pipe is not bend or overstress the pipes, elbow.

If the pipes are removed then it is essential that while fitting back new
gaskets be used. Do not open the pipe from one end only; it will cause the
pipe to twist. If the EGR pipe has to be removed, then open from both the
ends.

During acceleration and in higher loads the combustion chamber


temperatures increase. The high combustion temperatures increase the NOx
generation. The higher percentage of NOx generated in the combustion
chamber come out through the tail pipe in the atmosphere.

To reduce the amount of NOx coming through the tail pipe the EGR system
adds exhaust gases into the fresh air that is going into the combustion
chamber. Since the exhaust gas is already burnt hence when mixed with
fresh air acts an inert gas. Thus when the exhaust gas mixed with fresh air
enters the combustion chamber, it performs a dual role. The first role it does
is that it reduces the amount of oxygen available for combustion. The second
role that it acts is as a heat absorbent/heat sink.
The net effect is that it reduces the combustion temperatures. This results in
lower amount of NOx being generated.

To control the amount/percentage of exhaust gases to be circulated back to


the combustion chamber an ECU is used. The ECU monitors the coolant
temperature, attitude, engine speed, and accelerator pedal position. Based
on the above parameters the ECU operates a switch that in turn controls the
amount of vacuum going to the EGR valve. The amount of vacuum applied

controls the lift of the EGR valve. The lift of the EGR valve is sensed. This lift
is used as feedback signal to the ECU

EGR Valve –

Remove the EGR valve and check it valve-sticking, deposition of carbon etc.
If excess carbon deposits and sticky valve noticed then it should be cleaned
with a suitable solvent, so that the correct valve seat is ensured.

After cleaning the valve blow air from the bottom side of the valve and check
for any leakages.

EGR Pipe –

Remove the EGR pipe and check for gas leakage, damages etc. Clean the
gasket seating area from any carbon deposits, burrs etc. Spray WD 40 rust
cleaning spray on the nut.

To check the pipe for any leakages, close one end of flange and from other
end blow air at 2 bars. Dip the pipe in water and observe if any leakage is
observed. If any leaks are observed then the pipe has to be replaced. Do not
attempt to weld/ seal the leakage joint

EGR Solenoid switch –

The solenoid switch does not require any maintenance. For any damage
replace the component.

Vacuum Modulator Valve –

Does not require any maintenance. However please check and confirm that
that the line from the modulator to air cleaner is clean and the hole at the
air cleaner hose end is not choked.

Working principle of Crankcase Ventilation System –

Caution:
Ensure that the
tying clips are
not too tight &
pinching/
strangulating
the hoses.

The ventilation system is closed ventilation type. A hose connects the sump
assembly to the rocker cover. This hose balances the gas pressure in the
rocker cover and sump. The second hose goes from the rocker cover to the
oil separator. This hose also has a coarse mesh, which trap the bigger
particles.

The vapors with the oil particle enter the separator and due to the
centrifugal action are again separated. The vacuum after the air cleaner acts
on to the top of the diaphragm. The balance of the vacuum against the
spring and the vapor pressure controls the amount of the oil going to the
sump.

Certain amount of oil will be carried from the oil separator to the Air inlet
hose, which is normal. However if it is excessive please look for all the
causes mentioned in the high blow bye.

The Oil circulation system —

An external gear type pump sucks the oil through the strainer. The oil pump
is driven by the gear, which is mounted, on the crankshaft.
(Oil pump is identified by phosphating on cover plate.)

The oil pump delivers pressurized oil to the supply bore in the block. This oil
is delivered to the oil cooler and after getting cooled comes on the outer side
of the element. The filtered oil goes through the center of the oil filter and
is connected to the main oil gallery.

The main oil gallery runs to the front of the block where it is delivered to the
timing cover. From therein it takes a small loop in the timing cover and again
comes to the front of the block. Goes to another oil gallery. Oil from this
gallery supplies oil to the piston cooling jets

Oil from the main oil gallery goes to the crankshaft main journal and
camshaft, while from the rear end it is supplied to the alternator’s vacuum
pump. The oil supply for the turbocharger is from the oil filter bracket.

The oil routed from the main oil gallery lubricates the timing gears and the
idler gear bush. Part of this oil gets sprayed from idler shaft hole. The
camshaft gear and the thrust plate are lubricated by engine oil routed from
the first camshaft bushing through the camshaft hole.

The oil from the First camshaft bush goes to the top of the cylinder and
enters an oil gallery, which extend upto 110 mm from the front. Oil from this
gallery comes to the base of the first rocker shaft-mounting bracket. The oil
then enters the rocker shaft. Oil enters the rocker bushing at through two
holes facing the bottom half. At the same time it sprays from the oil hole at
the side of the rocker to lubricate the valve stem and the surfaces over
which the valve cap slides. The oil then returns to the sump through the push
rod holes in the cylinder head.

In both the oil cooler and oil filter, bypass valves are provided which operate
if the differential pressure exceeds 0.8 bar.

Inspection —

All the components should be inspected for wear. Any components, which are
beyond the wear limits, have to be replaced.

Over & above the wear limits: The following points also need to be ensured.

Piston: Check for scuffing/scoring on the skirt. A hard thick layer of carbon
lacquer on top land is acceptable. (If the thick layer is present on the piston
check that the liner does not have scuffing)

However scuffing of the top land and skirt giving indication of overheating
which is not acceptable.

Cylinder Liner: Any scoring on the liner is not acceptable.

Crankshaft: Check for scoring on the main as well as connecting rod journal.
If scoring is nominal and will not the increase the oil clearance then the
crankshaft can be used in, as it is condition.

However if it is unacceptable then the journal has to be ground up to service


limits only.

Any deep groove in the rear end oil seal seating area is unacceptable. It will
result in oil leaks.

Valve: If valve tip is worn out/ ridged then not acceptable

Main bearing and connecting rod bearing - If the scoring is nominal and oil
clearance is not affected, then it can be reused. However if flaking /peeling
of the bimetal in any particular zone only is present then use new shell. Look
for foreign particle embedded, deep scratches.

Dampener pulley rubber bonding- inspect for any gap between the rubber
ring and the outer/inner ring. Cracks on ring. Any deep groove in the front oil
seal seating area is unacceptable. It will lead to leakage’s.

If any deterioration of rubber or gap noticed between the ring and the rubber
replace the dampener pulley.

It is suggested that the dampener pulley be replaced at every 3,00,000 Kms.

Caution:

While measuring the inner diameter of the connecting rod big end and
main journal please take the measurements after torque tightening only.
For measurement purpose the torque should be 85±8 Nm. Do not reuse
this bolt

If line boring of the crankshaft’s journal in the block is done to rectify any
ovality. Then please ensure that the material from block half is not
removed. In absence of taking this precaution the piston will move up. It
will change the compression, influencing the performance. In the worst
case the valves can hit the piston.

Assembly –

The assembly sequence is the reverse of the dismantling procedure.


To obtain a good life of the rebuilt unit absolute cleanliness of the parts is
taken as a prerequisite and also the fact that all the parts have been
inspected.

The additional points which are mentioned are necessary to give you the
engine life same as the original engine.

Bolts – The following bolts are recommend to be replace every time they are
opened-if the Maximum length exceeds the specification. However the
connecting rod bolt has to be changed every time without exception.

The bolts have to be tightened by base torque then 2 stage angular torque.
The angular torque’s ensures that the bolts are torqued up to yield point.
And the 2 stage ensures that the clamping load for each bolt is within a very
close tolerance.

Cylinder head bolts- 10 no Maximum length 136.6/135.4 mm


Main Bearing Bolts- 10 no Maximum length 90.6/89.4mm Connecting rod

Cylinder block – Top face - Ensure that the tapping for the cylinder head
bolt as well as the crankshaft’s main journal is fine. Ensure that no water or
oil after cleaning is in the bolt holes (esp. the cylinder heads.). If found
please remove them, if necessary using cotton cloth (not cotton waste).

If the oil /water is not removed then it is possible that while tightening the
bolt. It may not allow complete tightening of the bolts and one will get a
false reading.

Cylinder head gasket –


It is a multi layer steel gasket type. Do not use any oil or shellac on the
cylinder head gasket or on the block face or the cylinder head face. The
gasket has to be fitted dry.

The gasket can be assembled any face up or down. However it is suggested


that the face with the numbers should be facing up.

Piston & Rings—


While fitting the piston rings ensure that the rings end gap are staggered in
120°.
The first ring end gap should not be on the thrust axis but the minor axis i.e.
on the gudgeon pin axis. Please note that the first ring is keystone shaped
hence the top mark has to face up. The 2nd ring is taper faced. The face,
which should be on the top, has to be facing up. The 3rd ring is the
conformable type oil ring. It can be assembled either way.

While assembling the piston on to the liner- apply clean oil liberally on the
liner surface.

Bearing shells —

Before fitting the bearing shell ensure that the parent bore of the
block/connecting rod are clean.

Wipe with a clean cloth the back end of shells before assembling on to the
block or connecting rod.
Ensure that the bearing shells are located properly in the notches.
Oil seals –

Ensure that

Description

The air is sucked through a foam air cleaner. The air enters the air
cleaner housing at the bottom and leaves at the top.

The air cleaner is made up of 5 different layers of foam. Each layer is


having different cleaning efficiency.

After filtration the air goes to the turbocharger.

A HFM sensor is attached to the outlet of the air cleaner. The air to the
turbocharger has to go through the HFM. The HFM measures the air
mass going to the engine. The quantity of the air going is used to
compute the fuelling.

After the HFM and before turbocharger there is mechanical or electrical


service indicator. In case of electrical service indicator, signal of
choked air cleaner goes to the instrument cluster. In case of
mechanical one, red band appears in choked condition.

Care of the System –

The air cleaner element should be replaced every 40,000 km or If


service indicator light glows under normal driving conditions.

Under extremely dusty conditions replace earlier than above.

It should be noted that if the engine is run with clogged air cleaner,
then it will lead to seepage of oil from turbocharger into the air intake
system.

Ensure that the recommended engine oil only is used and the specified
drain intervals are maintained.

To achieve an optimum cooling of the compressed air it is vital that the


vehicle’s number plate position is not changed and/ or an oversize
number plate does not block the aperture for the air draft for the
intercooler.

The Turbocharger & boost control valve does not require any special
maintenance. However check the boost pressure pipe for proper
fitment (connection from compressor to boost valve). Damage, cracks,
chips at ends, etc.

Check the operation of the waste gate valve by blowing compressed air
with 2.0 bar in the valve hose. The valve should open, pressing the
turbocharger stem and opening the exhaust valve (flap valve)

Check the oil separator system, in particular for any leak in vacuum
leak. As any vacuum leak will lead to a high-pressure build up and then
it will go through the intake system and give a signal of high blow by or
be confused with compressor oil leak.
Do not attempt to disturb length of the waste gate controlling
actuator rod.

Please do not lift the turbocharger


using the actuator rod as a lifting
! handle.

While fitting back the Turbocharger, it


is essential to purge the oil supply

! line of any air.

Working Principle, Inspection & Fitment procedures of the


Turbocharger –

The Turbocharger is basically an axial inflow air compressor, which is


driven by an exhaust gas driven turbine.

The exhausts gases coming out of exhaust manifold impinge on the


turbine blade give the drive to turbine shaft. At the other end of the
turbine shaft the compressor is assembled. The whole assembly is
supported on a floating bush. The bush gets an oil supply directly from
the engine and has oil film between the shaft and bearing as well as
the bush and the central housing.

The exhaust gases from the Turbine impinge on the turbine blade &
rotate the shaft. The compressor blades at the other end suck the air
from the air filter. After compression the temperature of the
compressed air increases thus reducing the air density. Hence if the air
is cooled and then the air density increases thus helping in getting
more power as well as improve emissions. The compressed air is sent to
the intercooler, which is mounted just below the radiator. Hence the
incoming ram air also cools the compressed air and gives it to the
intake manifold.

The turbocharger is matched to give an optimum boost for the desired


engine speed band. A waste gate controls the boost. The waste gate is
used to bypass the excess exhaust gas away from the turbine and thus
maintain the boost as well as control the backpressure. A spring-loaded
diaphragm controls the waste gate.

A flap valve is installed in the turbine housing just before the turbine
blade. Opening the valve allows the excess gases to bypass the turbine.
The flap movement is controlled by a push rod, which is controlled by a
spring-loaded diaphragm. At the other end of the diaphragm the
compressed air is sensed through a hose which is connected at a
tapping in the compressor housing.

The length of the pushrod, functioning of the diaphragm and the hose
connection are essential for the precise operation of the push rod. Any
air leak from the hose connecting the compressor housing to the waste
gate-controlling diaphragm will also affect the performance of the
turbocharger/ engine.

Inspection
9 Inspect the suction side (i.e. up to the air cleaner) for oil traces.
In a close crank case ventilation system it is normal to have oil in
this area. These oil particles are carried from blow bye of the
engine, which gets condensed from gas to oil. Look for any undue
gumming of oil, hard carbon particles in this area. If such an
observation is present then all the causes for excess blow symptoms
have to be checked and eliminated.

9 Inspect the compressor and turbine blades for any damage caused by
foreign object. The inspection can be done through the compressor
housing inlet and turbine housings outlet.

9 Inspect the blades outer edge and observe if any rubbing marks are
noticed on the housing.

9 Rotate the shaft wheel assembly by hand and check for freeness,
and any binding.
9 Push the shaft to side and rotate to check for wheel rub. It should
turn smoothly.

9 Lift both end of shaft up and down at the same time and feel for
excessive journal bearing clearance. If clearance is normal then very
little shaft movement will be detected.

‰ If all the above checks are satisfactory then the turbocharger can
be reused.

♦ If the turbocharger parts are damaged, wheel rubbing marks


present, shaft not rotating freely or binding or excessive journal
clearance then the Turbocharger should be serviced.

9 Do not attempt to service or overhaul the Turbocharger. It should be


done only at the authorized Turbo Energy Ltd service center. Any
attempts to attend without the use of special tools or procedure can
damage to turbocharger or personnel!

Turbocharger Installation –

Do not mishandle, tumbled, dropped or keep any


ports open.
! Do not use the actuator control rod for lifting or
carrying.
Do not disturb the setting of the actuator.

Check
The inlet connection & outlet exhaust connection to turbocharger for
foreign material, cracks, blockages, sand particles, loose nuts etc. This
check should be done more thoroughly if any damage has been noticed
in compressor or turbine blades as under normal operating conditions
the blades can damaged only if a foreign object hits them.

Check all the hoses and pipes from turbocharger outlet to intercooler
and intercooler to inlet manifold for crack, aging, leaks. Check the
hose clips for proper functioning. If in doubt – replace.

Once a new turbocharger is being installed.

i. Fill fresh clean oil from the oil supplies port and after that give the
shaft few rotations.

ii. Fit the supply pipe.

iii. Crank the engine till a steady stream of oil comes out through the
drainpipe. (CAUTION: Do not crank the engine for too long.
Excessive cranking will result in emptying of the pump cavity
causing the plunger to run dry.)

This will ensure that the oil supply line to Turbocharger is purged of
any air pocket.

After this fit the return line from turbocharger to sump, taking care to
avoid any kinks.

With engine running condition, check the air, exhaust and oil
connections for leaks.

Description

The air is sucked through a foam air cleaner. The air enters the air cleaner
housing at the bottom and leaves at the top.

The air cleaner is made up of 5 different layers of foam. Each layer is having
different cleaning efficiency.

After filtration the air goes to the turbocharger.

Before turbocharger there is mechanical or electrical service indicator. In


case of electrical service indicator, signal of choked air cleaner goes to the
instrument cluster. In case of mechanical one, red band appears in choked
condition.

The waste gated turbocharger controls the boost to 1.8. The compressed air
is cooled by the charge intercooler, which is mounted just below the
radiator. The cooled air enters the inlet manifolds. It enters the Cast iron
cylinder head through the inlet valves having a 45-degree angle.

Care of the System –

The air cleaner element should be replaced every 40,000 km or If service


indicator light glows under normal driving conditions.

Under extremely dusty conditions replace earlier than above.

It should be noted that if the engine is run with clogged air cleaner, then it
will lead to seepage of oil from turbocharger into the air intake system.
Ensure that the recommended engine oil only is used and the specified drain
intervals are maintained.

To achieve an optimum cooling of the compressed air it is vital that the


vehicle’s number plate position is not changed and/ or an oversize number
plate does not block the aperture for the air draft for the intercooler.

The Turbocharger & boost control valve does not require any special
maintenance. However check the boost pressure pipe for proper fitment
(connection from compressor to boost valve). Damage, cracks, chips at ends,
etc.

Check the operation of the waste gate valve by blowing compressed air with
2.0 bar in the valve hose. The valve should open, pressing the turbocharger
stem and opening the exhaust valve (flap valve)

Check the oil separator system, in particular for any leak in vacuum leak. As
any vacuum leak will lead to a high-pressure build up and then it will go
through the intake system and give a signal of high blow by or be confused
with compressor oil leak.
Do not attempt to disturb length of the waste gate controlling actuator
rod.

If the Turbocharger is removed, please do not lift the turbocharger using


the actuator rod as a lifting handle.

Please do not lift the turbocharger


using the actuator rod as a lifting
! handle.

While fitting back the Turbocharger, it


is essential to purge the oil supply
! line of any air.

Working Principle, Inspection & Fitment procedures of the Turbocharger

The Turbocharger is basically an axial inflow air compressor, which is driven


by an exhaust gas driven turbine.

The exhausts gases coming out of exhaust manifold impinge on the turbine
blade give the drive to turbine shaft. At the other end of the turbine shaft
the compressor is assembled. The whole assembly is supported on a floating
bush. The bush gets an oil supply directly from the engine and has oil film
between the shaft and bearing as well as the bush and the central housing.

The exhaust gases from the Turbine impinge on the turbine blade & rotate
the shaft. The compressor blades at the other end suck the air from the air
filter. After compression the temperature of the compressed air increases
thus reducing the air density. Hence if the air is cooled and then the air
density increases thus helping in getting more power as well as improve
emissions. The compressed air is sent to the intercooler, which is mounted
just below the radiator. Hence the incoming ram air also cools the
compressed air and gives it to the intake manifold.

Broadly speaking the water flows from the water pump to the Front
cover from the cover it goes to cylinder block and from the block to the
cylinder head and then to the bottom of thermostat. In case the
thermostat is closed, water goes through the bypass tube to water
pump. Once the thermostat opens the water goes to the radiator and
after getting cooled the water is again fed to the water pump. One pipe
goes from the thermostat housing to the heater core of HVAC unit and
then returns back.

Water pump & cover –

The coolant from the outlet elbow of the cross flow type radiator enters
the inlet of the water pump. The centrifugal water pump delivers the
water to the front cover from there to the cylinder block.

Hose connecting
thermostat housing &

Cylinder block & cylinder head –


In the block the water enters a main cooling passage which runs along
the length of the block in one side (inlet manifold side). The top passage
ensures that the maximum cooling is provided to the hottest zone of the
cylinder liners i.e. the top portion.

At the same time a passage at the front end connect the inlet to another
gallery at the bottom of the liner. In between the top and lower passage
in the block the coolant flows between the block & liners due to the
thermos siphon effect. The water then goes to the cylinder head and
from there to bottom of the thermostat. One external pipe from the
back end of the block goes to the oil cooler. The return pipe form the oil
cooler is connected to the inlet of the water pump.

Radiator & No loss tank –

The radiator cap controls the system pressure to 0.9 bar. Once the
pressure exceeds 0.9 bar the cap lifts off the seat and the coolant is
allowed to escape into a no loss tank.

As the engine cools down the system pressure falls and vacuum is
formed .The vacuum valve in the radiator cap opens and allows the
water from the no loss tank to go back into the radiator. Thus the
system does not have any coolant loss during normal operation.

Water for HVAC –


The hot water at the thermostat housing is diverted to the heater unit,
which is located in the passenger compartment for the HVAC function.
The return from the heater is connected to the inlet of the water pump.
It should be noted that a water valve near the heater/climate box
controls the amount of the water, which enters the heater unit. The
occupants determine the amount of the opening of the water valve. It
will be full quantity when it is set is maximum heater mode and vary till
the coldest mode where it will become nil as the valve will be fully
closed

Water pump –

A centrifugal water pump is used to circulate the coolant through the


water jackets, cylinder head, hoses and radiator. The water pump is
belt driven by the engine main drive pulley. It ratio of pulley diameter
ensures that the water pump rotates 1.30 times the engine speed.

The water pump impeller is pressed onto the shaft. The shaft is
supported on two bearings that are integral to the shaft.

The water pump seal is located between the impeller and the housing.
The housing has a small hole to allow the seepage to escape. That also
acts as an indication point if the water pump seal fails.

There are two main components of the viscous fan drive: input (drive

into the clutch plate and secured to the water pump. The output
(driven) member comprises of the main body to which the fan is
attached, with the temperature sensing mechanism (bi- metal coil) and
pump plates.

The fan drive has to be engaged only periodically, between 5 to 10% of


the normal operating conditions because the rest of the time the vehicle
cools itself by ram air-cooling.

To engage and disengage the fan drive the bi metal coil senses the air
temperature behind the radiator. When a pre determined temperature
is reached, the coil opens a valve, which allows the fluid to enter the

There are two sets of annular grooves. , One in the drive clutch and the
other in the drive body, a specific clearance being provided between
two sets of grooves. When this clearance is filled with viscous fluid a
shearing action caused by the speed differential between the two drive
components, transmit the torque to the fan. The fluid is thrown to the
outside of the unit by the centrifugal force from where it is recirculated
to the reservoir via the pump plate adjacent to the drive member.

If the engine sped is increased the amount of slip will also increase to
limit the maximum fan speed.

When the air temperature from the radiator drops sufficiently, the bi
metal coil closes the valve and prevents fluid entering the drive area.
The fluid that is in the drive area will gradually pump out into the
reservoir and the fan will return to an idle condition

Checking the VFD –

This procedure will only give an indication that the fan is cutting in and
out, but will not be able to check the accuracy of the cut in
temperature.

Depending on the level of the test equipment there are several ways to
check the if the fan is working correctly.

Using a non-contact tachometer –

1. Run the engine at idle without any load for approximately 3 minutes,
for example at 2000 rpm, observer the fan drive speed. In the
disengaged mode the fan speed will be approximately 800 rpm. By
running for 3 minutes it will ensure that the fan drive has pumped out
the silicone fluid into the reservoir and that the fan drive will be in
the cut out ( idle)
2. Either
(a) Blank the radiator by using a sheet of cardboard, which has a 15-
cm hole, cut out of in line with the center of the fan drive. This
will allow a flow of air on the bimetal coil and the cardboard will
allow the radiator to heat up quickly.
Keep a check on the vehicle temperature gauge and let the water
temperature rise to about 105°C. this will ensure that the fan drive
will engage

(b) Using a commercial hot air blower, which will provide a hot air
flow of at least 75°C, direct the air on to the centers of the fan drive
through the radiator. Keep the hot air on for several minutes. This
will cut the fan drive in, and the fan speed will increase. It is
important that only a powerful blower is used so that the hot air

should reach the fan drive after going the radiator at the correct
temperature.

3. Once the fan drive has become engaged by either method (a) or (b).
Check the fan speed with the non-contact tachometer. At 2000 rpm
input speed the fan speed should be 1800 rpm.

Testing without a non-contact tachometer –

4. Use the same method explained in step 2, but this time listen to the
noise level generated by the fan. With the fan in the idle condition
the noise level should be very low, however when the fan speed
increases in the engaged mode there will be a significant roar from
the fan. This will clearly indicate if the fan drive is working.

If the fan drive fails to engage during these tests, there is something
wrong with the VFD (Viscous Fan Drive). The unit should be replaced.

While returning the failed unit (to Plant for vehicles under warranty)
take care to see that the unit is packed with the sensing coil facing
down and sent in the same way. If this is not observed then the silicone
fluid will flow down to bearing, damaging the bearing and also making it
impossible to do any investigation.

Broadly speaking the water flows from the water pump to the Front cover
from the cover it goes to cylinder block and from the block to the cylinder
head and then to the bottom of thermostat. In case the thermostat is
closed, water goes through the bypass tube to water pump. Once the
thermostat opens the water goes to the radiator and after getting cooled
the water is again fed to the water pump. One pipe goes from the
thermostat housing to the heater core of HVAC unit and then returns

Water pump & cover –


The coolant from the outlet elbow of the cross flow type radiator enters
the inlet of the water pump. The centrifugal water pump delivers the water
to the front cover from there to the cylinder block.

The Pump housing is aluminum. Water pump & thermostat housing by pass
is connected by out side hose.

Cylinder block & cylinder head –


In the block the water enters a main cooling passage which runs along the
length of the block in one sides (inlet manifold side). The top passage
ensures that the maximum cooling is provided to the hottest zone of the
cylinder liners i.e. the top portion.

At the same time a passage at the front end connect the inlet to another
gallery at the bottom of the liner. In between the top and lower passage in
the block the coolant flows between the block & liners due to the thermos

siphon effect. The water then goes to the cylinder head and from there to
bottom of the thermostat. One external pipe from the back end of the
block goes to the oil cooler. The return pipe form the oil cooler is
connected to the inlet of the water pump.

Radiator & No loss tank –

The radiator cap controls the system pressure to 0.9 bar. Once the pressure
exceeds 0.9 bar the cap lifts off the seat and the coolant is allowed to
escape into a no loss tank.

As the engine cools down the system pressure falls and vacuum is formed
.The vacuum valve in the radiator cap opens and allows the water from the
no loss tank to go back into the radiator. Thus the system does not have any
coolant loss during normal operation.

Water for HVAC –


The hot water at the thermostat housing is diverted to the heater unit,
which is located in the passenger compartment for the HVAC function.
The return from the heater is connected to the inlet of the water pump. It
should be noted that a water valve near the heater/climate box controls
the amount of the water, which enters the heater unit. The occupants
determine the amount of the opening of the water valve. It will be full
quantity when it is set is maximum heater mode and vary till the coldest
mode where it will become nil as the valve will be fully closed

CAUTION

Do not remove the radiator draincock or the Engine coolant plate drain

Always remove the pressure on the system by removing the radiator cap
before undertaking any work on the cooling system.

If the coolant is not contaminated then collect the coolant in a clean


container so that it can be reused. Replace coolant as per
recommendation

Water pump –

A centrifugal water pump is used to circulate the coolant through the water
jackets, cylinder head, hoses and radiator. The water pump is belt driven
by the engine main drive pulley. It ratio of pulley diameter ensures that the
water pump rotates 1.25 times the engine speed.

The water pump impeller is pressed onto the shaft. The shaft is supported
on two bearings that are integral to the shaft.

The water pump seal is located between the impeller and the housing. The
housing has a small hole to allow the seepage to escape. That also acts as
an indication point if the water pump seal fails.

Viscous Fan Drive Operation –

The viscous drive unit for the engine-cooling fan provides a means for
controlling the speed of the fan relative to the temperature of the engine.
The viscous fan unit is a type of fluid coupling, which drives the fan blade
by means of silicone fluid

There are two main components of the viscous fan drive: input (drive
member), which consist of a threaded shaft passing through a bearing into
the clutch plate and secured to the water pump. The output (driven)
member comprises of the main body to which the fan is attached, with the
temperature sensing mechanism (bi- metal coil) and pump plates.

The fan drive has to be engaged only periodically, between 5 to 10% of the
normal operating conditions because the rest of the time the vehicle cools
itself by ram air-cooling.

To engage and disengage the fan drive the bi metal coil senses the air
temperature behind the radiator. When a pre determined temperature is
reached, the coil opens a valve, which allows the fluid to enter the drive
area and due to centrifugal forces circulate to the annular drive area

other in the drive body, a specific clearance being provided between two

action caused by the speed differential between the two drive components,
transmit the torque to the fan. The fluid is thrown to the outside of the
unit by the centrifugal force from where it is recirculated to the reservoir
via the pump plate adjacent to the drive member.

If the engine sped is increased the amount of slip will also increase to limit
the maximum fan speed.

When the air temperature from the radiator drops sufficiently, the bi metal
coil closes the valve and prevents fluid entering the drive area. The fluid
that is in the drive area will gradually pump out into the reservoir and the
fan will return to an idle condition

Checking the VFD –

This procedure will only give an indication that the fan is cutting in and
out, but will not be able to check the accuracy of the cut in temperature.

Depending on the level of the test equipment there are several ways to
check the if the fan is working correctly.

Using a non-contact tachometer

1. Run the engine at idle without any load for approximately 3 minutes, for
example at 2000 rpm, observer the fan drive speed. In the disengaged
mode the fan speed will be approximately 800 rpm. By running for 3
minutes it will ensure that the fan drive has pumped out the silicone
fluid into the reservoir and that the fan drive will be in the cut out (
idle)
2. Either
(a) Blank the radiator by using a sheet of cardboard, which has a 15-cm
hole, cut out of in line with the center of the fan drive. This will
allow a flow of air on the bimetal coil and the cardboard will allow
the radiator to heat up quickly.
Keep a check on the vehicle temperature gauge and let the water
temperature rise to about 105°C. this will ensure that the fan drive will
engage

(b) Using a commercial hot air blower, which will provide a hot air flow
of at least 75°C, direct the air on to the centers of the fan drive through

the radiator. Keep the hot air on for several minutes. This will cut the
fan drive in, and the fan speed will increase. It is important that only a
powerful blower is used so that the hot air should reach the fan drive
after going the radiator at the correct temperature.

3. Once the fan drive has become engaged by either method (a) or (b).
Check the fan speed with the non-contact tachometer. At 2000 rpm
input speed the fan speed should be 1800 rpm.

Testing without a non-contact tachometer

4. Use the same method explained in step 2, but this time listen to the
noise level generated by the fan. With the fan in the idle condition the
noise level should be very low, however when the fan speed increases in
the engaged mode there will be a significant roar from the fan. This will
clearly indicate if the fan drive is working.

If the fan drive fails to engage during these tests, there is something wrong
with the VFD (Viscous Fan Drive). The unit should be replaced.

While returning the failed unit (to Plant for vehicles under warranty) take
care to see that the unit is packed with the sensing coil facing down and
sent in the same way. If this is not observed then the silicone fluid will flow
down to bearing, damaging the bearing and also making it impossible to do
any investigation.

Care of the System –

The fuel injection system depends on supply of clean diesel fuel for the
proper functioning of the fuel system.

To ensure that High Pressure Pump receives clean fuel all the times it is
advisable that the fuel filter is replaced at the specified intervals.

The fuel filter should be changed at every 20,000 Kms. If the operating
conditions are poor then reduce the change interval. The fuel filter is
equipped with water separator. If the water level indication comes on in
the instrument panel, then the water should be immediately drained.

The internal components of the High Pressure Pump depend on the


lubricating properties of diesel for lubricating them. Hence, if water is
present in the fuel then lubrication between the component break down
and there is seizure.

Care of the System –

The fuel injection system depends on supply of clean diesel fuel for the
proper functioning of the fuel system.

To ensure that FIP receives clean fuel all the times it is advisable that the
fuel filters are replaced at the specified intervals.

Primary should be changed at 10,000 Kms and the secondary at 20,000


Kms. If the operating conditions are poor then reduce the change interval.
Both the fuel filters should be of paper and coil type.

It should be noted that replacement of both the filters at the same time has
to be avoided.

It should be understood that when the filters get choked then the filtering
efficiency that is the size of particle they are able to stop improves.
However, if it gets fully choked then the flow of the fuel is very less and
inadequate at higher speed. Hence if only one filter is changed at a time
then the fuel flow is also adequate and maintains a higher filtering
efficiency. The working clearance of the FIP components are in order of few
microns, hence the importance of the above procedure is high.

The internal components of the Fuel Injection pump depend on the


lubricating properties of diesel for lubricating them. Hence, if water is
present in the fuel then lubrication between the component break down and
there is seizure. The commonly affected components tend to be either the
distributor head & the piston or the control sleeve getting jammed.

To avoid such an occurrence, it is recommended that at every 5000 kms


water be drained from the bottom of the filter bowls. During monsoons,
the frequency can be increase to every fortnight.

The procedure, which should be followed, is:


• Loosen the drain bolt.
• Loosen the filter mounting bolt.
• Drain the water at the bottom of the bowl.
• Close the drain bolt and then the mounting bolt.

In a Turbocharger engine, fuelling is dependent on the boost being sensed by


the LDA unit hence it is essential that at each service the hose connecting
the inlet manifold to LDA unit be checked. If in doubt, replace the hose.
Any air leak in this pipe or joint will result in the FIP’s delivery not matching
the boost being achieved and will show as reduced power delivery.

The FICD unit is actuated by vacuum whenever the HVAC system is switched
on and ensures that the idling rpm stays within the specified band. Irregular
idling when AC is switched on will indicate any leak in the vacuum line.
Hence checking the vacuum pipes from the alternator to the FICD unit
should be done at each service.

During acceleration and in higher loads the engine generates high


combustion temperatures. The high combustion temperatures increase the
NOx generation. The higher percentage of NOx generated in the combustion
chamber come out through the tail pipe in the atmosphere.

To reduce the amount of NOx coming through the tail pipe the EGR system
adds exhaust gases into the fresh air that is going into the combustion
chamber. Since the exhaust, gas is already burnt hence when mixed with
fresh air acts an inert gas. The role it does is that it reduces the amount of
oxygen available for combustion. The net effect is that it reduces the peak

combustion temperatures. This results in lower amount of NOx being


generated.

To control the amount/percentage of exhaust gases to be circulated back


to the combustion chamber the ECU, which is already controlling the
common rail functions, is used.

The ECU monitors the air flow, coolant temperature, attitude, engine
speed, and accelerator pedal position. Based on the above parameters the
ECU operates a switch that in turn controls the amount of vacuum going to
the EGR valve. The amount of vacuum applied controls the lift of the EGR
valve. The lift of the EGR valve is sensed. This lift is used as feedback signal
to the ECU

The inputs of the engine speed (from the flywheel sensor); Throttle position
(from the potentiometer.) is fed in one map. Another map uses the throttle
position and correlate in terms of the acceleration. The third map uses the
water temperature. Another map uses the input from airflow sensor (HFM),
correlates with the load and decides the amount of EGR opening. The
inputs from tall these maps are added together to give an input to the EGR
pressure modulator.

At the same time it has a set point that if the water temperature is less
than 25 ° C or more than 95°C. Then the EGR will not be operated.

The acceleration map ensures that if the rate of acceleration is above a


certain level then the EGR will not operate. This feature allows full engine
power to be available during acceleration (say during overtaking).

In the Euro IV engine the Exhaust gas being fed to the engine passes through
the EGR cooler so that the exhaust gases get cooled & in turn the NOx is
controlled in a more effective manner.

The vacuum connections are shown below.

The ventilation system is closed ventilation type. A hose connects the


ladder frame assembly to the rocker cover. His hose balances the gas
pressure in the rocker cover and sump.

The oil vapours from the rocker cover go to the oil separator, which is
mounted directly on top of the rocker cover.

Before entering the separator the vapour & oil mixture has to pass through
the wire mesh.

After entering the separator the oil + vapours go through the baffle type
labyrinth separator. The oil, which gets condensed go back to the rocker
cover through the valves provided on the bottom face of the separator.

A spring-loaded diaphragm controls the outlet from the oil separator to the
inlet manifold. The vacuum of the inlet is applied on a spring-loaded
diaphragm. (Note to avoid pressure build up in low speed driving there is a
minimum clearance of 0.5 mm)

Certain amount of oil will be carried from the oil separator to the Air inlet
hose, which is normal. However if it is excessive please look for all the
causes mentioned in the high blow bye.

Care of the System

To meet the emission norms it is essential that the Fuel system, Air intake
system & cooling system be maintained as per the schedule .For details
refer to the particular section

Generally it is not appreciated that if the engine is running below the


optimum temperature (happens when thermostat is removed then tailpipe
emissions in particular the particulate increases (up to 30%). Similarly a
wrong grade or poor quality of fuel increases the emissions. A blocked air
cleaner or restriction in intake system increases the emissions

Oil separator system –

Check the hose connection at every 10,000 Kms for cracks, aging and leaks.

EGR –

On vehicles fitted with EGR system the following additional points check
have to done during scheduled maintenance.

• Check for any exhaust gas leakage through sealing faces, EGR pipe.
Formation of any black soot indicates leakage.

• Check the vacuum hoses for any leaks, cracks.

• Retighten all nuts and bolts as per the recommend torque.

If the pipes are removed then it is essential that while fitting back new
gaskets is used. Do not open the pipe from one end only; it will cause the

pipe to twist. If the EGR pipe has to be removed, then open from both the
ends.

The EGR is controlled by the Engine ECU. The ECU is an electronic device.
Hence it is prone to get damaged if spikes are generated in the system.

It is advised that the following precautions be taken.

♦ If any welding work is being carried out on the vehicle then the battery
terminals are removed.

♦ Similarly, the practices of shorting the battery to check the battery have
to be avoided. (It can cause a spike.).

♦ The practice of changing battery with a running engine is also not


acceptable. Again, the resultant spike can damage the controller beyond
repairs.

EGR Valve –

Remove the EGR valve and check it valve-sticking, deposition of carbon etc.
If excess carbon deposits and sticky valve noticed then it should be cleaned
with a suitable solvent, so that the correct valve seat is ensured.
After cleaning the valve blow air from the bottom side of the valve and
check for any leakages.

To check for the functioning of the EGR valve apply vacuum on the vacuum
connection of the EGR valve. The lift of the valve at the required vacuum
should be achieved.

EGR Pipe –

Remove the EGR pipe and check for gas leakage, damages etc. Clean the
gasket seating area from any carbon deposits, burrs etc. Spray WD 40 rust
cleaning spray on the nut.

To check the pipe for any leakages, close one end of flange and from other
end blow air at two bars. Dip the pipe in water and observe if any leakage
is observed. If any leaks are observed then the pipe has to be replaced. Do
not attempt to weld/ seal the leakage joint

During acceleration and in higher loads the engine generates high


combustion temperatures. The high combustion temperatures increase the
NOx generation. The higher percentage of NOx generated in the combustion
chamber come out through the tail pipe in the atmosphere.

To reduce the amount of NOx coming through the tail pipe the EGR system
adds exhaust gases into the fresh air that is going into the combustion
chamber.

fresh air acts an inert gas. Thus when the exhaust gas mixed with fresh air
enters the combustion chamber. The role it does is that it reduces the
amount of oxygen available for combustion. The net effect is that it reduces
the peak combustion temperatures. This results in lower amount of NOx
being generated.

To control the amount/percentage of exhaust gases to be circulated back to


the combustion chamber an ECU is used. The ECU monitors the coolant
temperature, attitude, engine speed, and accelerator pedal position. Based
on the above parameters the ECU operates a switch that in turn controls the
amount of vacuum going to the EGR valve. The amount of vacuum applied
controls the lift of the EGR valve.

The inputs of the engine speed (from the alternator W terminal); Throttle
position (from the potentiometer.) is fed in one map. Another map uses the
throttle position and correlate in terms of the acceleration. The third map
uses the water temperature. The inputs from the 3 maps are added together
to give an input to the EGR pressure modulator. The EGR valve lift feedback
is taken and the signal to the modulator suitable increased or decreased.

At the same time it has a set point that if the water temperature is less than
25 ° C or more than 95°C. Then the EGR will not be operated. Also if the
water temperature is less than 30° C then the cold start advance (KSB) will
be in operation.

The acceleration map ensures that if the rate of acceleration is above a


certain level then the EGR will not operate. This feature allows full engine
power to be available during acceleration (say during overtaking).

The EGR controller is located just below the co driver’s seat.

Working principle of Crankcase Ventilation System –

The ventilation system is closed ventilation type. A hose connects the oil
sump assembly to the rocker cover. This hose balances the gas pressure in
the rocker cover and sump. The second hose goes from the rocker cover to
the oil separator. This hose also has a coarse mesh, which trap the bigger
particles.

The vapors with the oil particle enter the separator and due to the
centrifugal action are again separated. The vacuum after the air cleaner
acts on to the top of the diaphragm. The balance of the vacuum against the
spring and the vapor pressure controls the amount of the oil going to the
sump.

Certain amount of oil will be carried from the oil separator to the Air inlet
hose, which is normal. However if it is excessive please look for all the
causes mentioned in the high blow bye.

Care of the System –

To meet the emission norms it is essential that the Fuel system, Air intake
system & cooling system be maintained as per the schedule .For details
refer to the particular section

Generally it is not appreciated that if the engine is running below the


optimum temperature (happens when thermostat is removed then tailpipe
emissions in particular the particulate increases (up to 30%). Similarly a
wrong grade or poor quality of fuel increases the emissions. A blocked air
cleaner or restriction in intake system increases the emissions

Oil separator system –

Check the hose connection at every 10,000 Kms for cracks, aging and leaks.

EGR –

On vehicles fitted with EGR system the following additional points check
have to done during scheduled maintenance.

• Check for any exhaust gas leakage through sealing faces, EGR pipe.
Formation of any black soot indicates leakage.

Scorpio Vlx August 2009/Rev 1

• Check the vacuum hoses for any leaks, cracks.

• Retighten all nuts and bolts as per the recommend torque.

• Check blink codes every 10,000 kms.

While doing the tappet clearance, in case of vehicle fitted with EGR system
ensure that the EGR pipe is not bend or overstress the pipes, elbow.

If the pipes are removed then it is essential that while fitting back new
gaskets is used. Do not open the pipe from one end only; it will cause the
pipe to twist. If the EGR pipe has to be removed, then open from both the
ends.

The ECU/controller controlling the EGR operation is an electronic device.


Hence it is prone to get damaged if spikes are generated in the system.

It is advised that the following precautions be taken.

♦ If any welding work is being carried out on the vehicle then the battery
terminals are removed.

♦ Similarly, the practices of shorting the battery to check the battery have
to be avoided. (It can cause a spike.).

♦ The practice of changing battery with a running engine is also not


acceptable. Again, the resultant spike can damage the controller beyond
repairs.

EGR Valve –

Remove the EGR valve and check it valve-sticking, deposition of carbon etc.
If excess carbon deposits and sticky valve noticed then it should be cleaned
with a suitable solvent, so that the correct valve seat is ensured.

After cleaning the valve blow air from the bottom side of the valve and
check for any leakages.

To check for the functioning of the EGR valve apply vacuum on the vacuum
connection of the EGR valve. The lift of the valve at the required vacuum
should be achieved.

EGR Pipe –

Remove the EGR pipe and check for gas leakage, damages etc. Clean the
gasket seating area from any carbon deposits, burrs etc. Spray WD 40 rust
cleaning spay on the nut.

To check the pipe for any leakage’s, close one end of flange and from other
end blow air at two bars. Dip the pipe in water and observe if any leakage is
observed. If any leaks are observed then the pipe has to be replaced. Do not
attempt to weld/ seal the leakage joint

EGR Solenoid switch –

The solenoid switch does not require any maintenance. For any damage
replace the component.

EGR ECU –

Does not require any maintenance.

However, like any ECU care has to be taken that if any welding work is being
carried out on the vehicle then the battery terminals are removed.

Similarly, the practices of shorting the battery to check the battery have to
be avoided. (It can cause a spike.). The practice of changing battery with a

Description
The clutch disc is a single, dry type with cushion springs in the hub. The clutch disc’s
friction material is riveted to the hub.

The clutch cover is a diaphragm type with one-piece construction. A 240-mm clutch
disc is used.

In the engaged position (when the clutch pedal is not pressed), the diaphragm spring
of the clutch cover assembly holds the clutch pressure plate against the clutch disc.
This enables the engine torque to be transmitted to the input shaft of the gearbox,
without any slip / loss.

The clutch is hydraulically actuated with self-adjusting features. The complete


actuation system comprises of a clutch master cylinder with integral reservoir. The
master cylinder is connected to the clutch actuation or the slave cylinder by hydraulic
pipe. The travel of the push rod results in linear movement of the release bearing
through a release fork pivoted on a ball in the clutch housing.

The clutch release bearing pushes the diaphragm spring center towards the flywheel.
The diaphragm spring pivots at the fulcrum, relieving the load on the clutch plate.
Steel spring straps riveted to the pressure plate cover pulls the pressure plate away
from the clutch disc. When the clamping load on the clutch plate is relieved it slides
on the splines of the input shaft away from the flywheel thus disengaging the engine
torque from the input shaft & enabling the gears to be changed.

Care of the System –


While topping up use the recommended fluid conforming to DOT3 standard /SAE
J1703/IS 8654 specifications only. Avoid mixing different brands.

The clutch fluid is hygroscopic fluids hence tend to collect humidity. The humidity
along with the brake fluid can cause acidic reaction & seizure of the master & slave
cylinders. The clutch fluid should be replaced every 40,000 km or one in a year,
whichever is earlier. The master & clutch cylinder seals to be replace every 50,000
KMs

Trouble Shooting –
Unless the cause of a clutch problem is extremely obvious, accurate problem diagnosis
will require a road test to confirm that the problem exists. To find out the actual root
cause of the problem the clutch will have to be dismantled and the failed parts
examined to determine the cause.

During road test, drive the vehicle in normal operating speeds. Shift the gears and
observe the clutch action. If chatter, grab, slip or improper release is experienced,
remove & inspect the parts. However if problem is noise or hard shift then the
problem may not be in clutch only but also the transmission or the driveline.

If the clutch slip is suspected then drive the vehicle in 1st or 2nd gear at the top speed
(corresponding to the gear). Keeping the accelerator fully pressed; slowly apply the
brake- with your left feet. If the engine stalls then the clutch is not slipping.

Clutch Problem Causes –

Fluid contamination is the most frequent cause of clutch malfunction. Oil, water on
the clutch contact surface will cause faulty operation viz. Slip, grab, and judder.

During inspection check if any parts in the clutch are coated with oil or water splash
from road.

Oil contamination indicates a leak at either rear main seal or transmission-input shaft.
The oil leaks from either of these areas will normally coat the housing interior or
clutch cover or flywheel. Heat buildup due to slippage between the clutch plate and
the flywheel or the pressure plate can result into the leaked oil literally getting
baked. Visually this will result in a glazed residue varying from amber to black.

Roads splash contamination will mean that the dirt water is entering the clutch
housing either due to lose bolt or torn rubber boot.

Clutch misalignment –

The clutch component i.e. the clutch plate, flywheel and the pressure plate have to
be aligned with the crankshaft and the transmission input shaft. Misalignment caused

by run outs/ war page will cause clutch to grab judder as well as improper release
(also manifesting as hard gearshift).

Flywheel run out –

The flywheel run out needs to be checked whenever misalignment is suspected.


Flywheel run out should not exceed 0.10 mm.
To measure the run out mount the base of the magnetic dial gauge on the block.
Locate the dial gauge’s needle on the outer surface of the flywheel.

Some of the common reasons for excessive run out are –

 Heat warpage.
 Improper machining.
 Incorrect bolt tightening
 Foreign material on crankshaft flange or flywheel.
 Improper seating on crankshaft.

Clutch cover & Disc run out –

A warped cover or diaphragm spring will result in clutch grab and / or incomplete
release of clutch plate.

If the clutch alignment tool is not used then the misalignment of the clutch plate can
cause distortion of the cover and also disc damage.

The cover can also get misaligned due to improper tightening of the cover onto the
flywheel. The only way to avoid is that the bolts must be tightened alternatively
(diagonal pattern) and evenly i.e. 2 to 3 thread a time only.

A noisy gearshift operation especially the 1st and 2nd gear can be due to clutch not
getting disengaged completely. To check it, jack up the rear axle. Lift the axle till
both the wheels are rotating freely.

Press the clutch pedal completely and start the engine, the wheels should not be
spinning. Now slowly release the pedal till it has moved about 10 mm, the wheel
should still not be spinning. If some spinning is noticed then it indicates improper lift
of the pressure plate. First check the bleeding and the pedal travel then check for the
pressure plate lift.

Clutch Housing Misalignment –

The clutch housing has to be aligned with the engine so that the input shaft is aligned
with the crankshaft. Absence of this alignment results in clutch noise, incomplete
release of the clutch plate. It can normally be judged by uneven wear of the finger
and pilot bearing. In severe case it can also damage the spline of the input shaft and
clutch hubs well as the clutch splines

Normally the clutch housing misalignment is a result of:


 Incorrect seating on the engine/transmission.
 Missing alignment dowel holes.
 Loose or missing mounting bolt.
 Mounting surfaces that are damaged/ not parallel.

To check the clutch housing misalignment bell housing run out will also need to be
checked.

The bolts should be loosened few threads at a time – so that the warping is
avoided.
If the cover assembly is not going to be reused then this precaution is not
essential.

If the pilot bearing has to be removed then the flywheel has to be removed and
then the bearing removed using the MST no 543.
(To install the bearing MST no 544 has to be used.)

Inspection:

All the components should be inspected for wear. Any components, which are beyond
the wear limits, have to be replaced.

Over & above the wear limits: The following points also need to be ensured.

Flywheel run out --

The flywheel run out needs to be checked whenever misalignment is suspected.


Flywheel run out should not exceed than 0.10 mm

To measure the run out; mount the base of the magnetic dial gauge on the block.
Locate the dial gauge’s needle on the outer surface of the flywheel.

Some of the common reasons for excessive run out are:


 Heat warpage.
 Improper machining.
 Incorrect bolt tightening
 Foreign material on crankshaft flange or flywheel.
 Improper seating on crankshaft.

If the flywheel has been removed for resurfacing or replacing the pilot bearing then
while fitting it back ensure that:

 No dirt and grease present on the mounting face (it can cause cocking & run out)

 The flywheel bolts have been replaced.

 Torque tightened as per sequence and also the angular tightening as per the
specification is done.

Absence of any of these requirements may result in bolt loosening causing flywheel
run out.

Clutch cover & Disc run out -

Check the clutch disc run out before fitting. It should be within the specifications. If it
is more than the specification- use a different clutch plate.

A warped cover or diaphragm spring will result in clutch grab and / or incomplete
release of clutch plate.

If the clutch alignment tool is not used then the misalignment of the clutch plate can
cause distortion of the cover and also disc damage.

Repair Manual MAN-000XX
Scorpio Vlx August 2009/Rev 1

The cover can also get misaligned due to improper tightening of the cover onto the
flywheel. The only way to avoid is that the bolts must be tightened alternatively
(diagonal pattern) and evenly i.e. 2 to 3 thread a time only.

Clutch Housing Misalignment –

The clutch housing has to be aligned with the engine so that the input shaft is aligned
with the crankshaft. Absence of this alignment results in clutch noise, incomplete
release of the clutch plate. It can normally be judged by uneven wear of the finger
and pilot bearing. In severe case it can also damage the spline of the input shaft and
clutch hubs well as the clutch splines

 Normally the clutch housing misalignment is a result of:


 Incorrect seating on the engine/transmission.
 Missing alignment dowel holes.
 Loose or missing mounting bolt.
 Mounting surfaces that are damaged/ not parallel.

Before fitting the clutch housing ensure that no dirt, debris or foreign parts are
trapped between the mating surface of the transmission & the clutch housing.

Flywheel -

If the flywheel is found to be having minor scoring then it can be resurfaced. However
the maximum allowed cut is 0.076 mm. If scoring is deeper than 0.0076 than the
flywheel has to be changed. (Excessive material removal will cause the flywheel to
either crack/ warpage after installation/ drop in clamping load and will affect the
proper clutch release as the travel of release bearing gets affected.)

If the flywheel has been removed for resurfacing or replacing the pilot bearing then
while fitting it back ensure that:

 No dirt and grease present on the mounting face (it can cause cocking & run out)

 The flywheel bolts have been replaced.

 Torque tightened as per sequence and also the angular tightening as per the
specification is done.

Absence of any of these requirements may result in bolt loosening causing flywheel
run out.

Starter ring replacement: Unless the provision of properly heating & fitting is
available. It is not recommended to replace the starter ring. It is worthwhile to
replace the ring along with the flywheel.

If the starter ring is only going to be replaced then:

• Do not use a gas flame to cut. It can cause local overheating of flywheel.
• The ring gear has to be heated in an oven to get uniform expansion. (Nearly 191°C)
• Does not use flame to heat the ring – it can cause annealing of the ring teeth and
premature failure.

Description –
It is a 5-speed gearbox. The 1st & 2nd gear is having double cone type synchronizer
while the 3rd, 4th & 5th are having strut type synchronization. The reverse gear is
sliding mesh.

The gear selection is by a direct shift lever operating a 3-rail system. The accidental
operation of two gears is avoided by an interlocking mechanism. To avoid vibrations
passing on to the shift lever; the shift lever is two-piece with rubber isolation provided
on to the top half.

The gearbox housing is 3 piece aluminum with an intermediate plate. A skid plate
protects the bottom of the gearbox. The Gearbox is mounted directly on the flywheel
through the integral clutch housing and supported at rear on the cross member. The
gearbox also has a gear neutral switch (GNS) which give signal to ECU when vehicle is
in neutral gear position.

Care of the transmission –


The lubricant level should be checked every 10000 KMs. with the vehicle un laden and
on level ground. The lubricant level should be at the lower edge of the filler plug. Use
lubricant meeting oils specification of GL 4 & viscosity 80W90.The brand names have
been specified in the Operators Manual.
The lubricant should be changed at 5000 KMs, then at 40000 KMs and after that every
40000 KMs.

Service Diagnosis –

A low transmission lubricant level is generally the result of a leak, inadequate


lubricant fill, or an incorrect lubricant level check.
Leaks can occur at the mating surface of the gear case, intermediate plate and
adapter or extension housing or from the front/rear seals. A suspected leak could also
be result of an overfill condition.
Leaks at the rear of the extension or adapter housing will be from the housing oil seal.
Leaks at component mating surface will probably be the result of inadequate sealer,
gaps in sealer, incorrect bolt tightening, or the use of a non-recommended sealer.
A leak at the front of the transmission will be from either the front bearing retainer or
retainer seal. Lubricant may be seen dripping from the clutch housing after extended
operation. If the leak is severe, it may also contaminate the clutch disc causing slip,
grab and chatter.
A correct lubricant level check can be made only when the vehicle is level, use a two
post or a four post hoist to ensure this. Also allow the lubricant to settle for a minute
or so before checking. These recommendations will ensure that an accurate check and
avoid an under fill or overfill conditions.

Hard Shifting –

Hard shifting is usually caused by low lubricant level, improper or contaminated


lubricants, component damage, and incorrect clutch adjustment or by a damaged
clutch pressure plate or disc. Substantial lubricant leak can result in gear, shift rail,
synchro and bearing damage. If a leak goes undetected for an extended period the
first indications of a problem are usually hard shifting and noise. Incorrect or
contaminated lubricants can also contribute to hard shifting.
The consequence of using non-recommended lubricants is noise, excessive wear,
internal bind and hard shifting.
Improper clutch release is one of the most frequent causes of hard shifting. Incorrect
adjustment of a worn damaged pressure plate or disc can cause incorrect release. If
the clutch problem is advanced then it can result in gear clash during shifts.
Incomplete travel of the clutch pedal due to restrictions at the end of stroke
(upturned carpet, extra carpet or cover or bend clutch linkage can also cause
improper clutch release and hard shift.)
Worn or damaged synchro rings can cause gear clash when shifting any forward gear.
In some new or rebuilt transmissions, new synchro rings may tend to stick slightly
causing hard or noisy shifts. In most conditions this will decline as the rings wear in.

Transmission Noise –

Most manual transmissions make some noise during normal operation. Rotating gears
can generate slight whine that may only be audible at extreme speeds.

Severe obviously audible transmission noise is generally the result of a lubricant


problem. Insufficient, improper or contaminated lubricant can promote rapid wear of
gears, synchros, shift rail, forks and bearing’s. The overheating caused by a lubricant
problem can also lead to gear breakage.

It is a 5-speed gearbox. The 1st & 2nd gear is having double cone type synchronizer
while the 3rd, 4th & 5th are having strut type synchronization. The reverse gear is
sliding mesh.

The gear selection is by a direct shift lever operating a 3-rail system. The accidental
operation of two gears is avoided by an interlocking mechanism. To avoid vibrations
passing on to the shift lever; the shift lever is two-piece with rubber isolation provided
on to the top half.

The gearbox housing is 3 piece aluminum with an intermediate plate. A skid plate
protects the bottom of the gearbox. The Gearbox is mounted directly on the flywheel
through the integral clutch housing and supported at rear on the cross member. The
gearbox also has a gear neutral switch (GNS) which give signal to ECU when vehicle is
in neutral gear position.

Care of the transmission –


The lubricant level should be checked every 10000 KMs. with the vehicle un laden and
on level ground. The lubricant level should be at the lower edge of the filler plug. Use
lubricant meeting oils specification of GL 4 & viscosity 80W90.The brand names have
been specified in the Operators Manual.
The lubricant should be changed at 5000 KMs, then at 40000 KMs and after that every
40000 KMs.

Service Diagnosis –

A low transmission lubricant level is generally the result of a leak, inadequate


lubricant fill, or an incorrect lubricant level check.
Leaks can occur at the mating surface of the gear case, intermediate plate and
adapter or extension housing or from the front/rear seals. A suspected leak could also
be result of an overfill condition.
Leaks at the rear of the extension or adapter housing will be from the housing oil seal.
Leaks at component mating surface will probably be the result of inadequate sealer,
gaps in sealer, incorrect bolt tightening, or the use of a non-recommended sealer.
A leak at the front of the transmission will be from either the front bearing retainer or
retainer seal. Lubricant may be seen dripping from the clutch housing after extended
operation. If the leak is severe, it may also contaminate the clutch disc causing slip,
grab and chatter.
A correct lubricant level check can be made only when the vehicle is level, use a two
post or a four post hoist to ensure this. Also allow the lubricant to settle for a minute
or so before checking. These recommendations will ensure that an accurate check and
avoid an under fill or overfill conditions.

Hard Shifting –

Hard shifting is usually caused by low lubricant level, improper or contaminated


lubricants, component damage, and incorrect clutch adjustment or by a damaged
clutch pressure plate or disc. Substantial lubricant leak can result in gear, shift rail,
synchro and bearing damage. If a leak goes undetected for an extended period the
first indications of a problem are usually hard shifting and noise. Incorrect or
contaminated lubricants can also contribute to hard shifting.
The consequence of using non-recommended lubricants is noise, excessive wear,
internal bind and hard shifting.
Improper clutch release is one of the most frequent causes of hard shifting. Incorrect
adjustment of a worn damaged pressure plate or disc can cause incorrect release. If
the clutch problem is advanced then it can result in gear clash during shifts.
Incomplete travel of the clutch pedal due to restrictions at the end of stroke
(upturned carpet, extra carpet or cover or bend clutch linkage can also cause
improper clutch release and hard shift.)
Worn or damaged synchro rings can cause gear clash when shifting any forward gear.
In some new or rebuilt transmissions, new synchro rings may tend to stick slightly
causing hard or noisy shifts. In most conditions this will decline as the rings wear in.

Transmission Noise –

Most manual transmissions make some noise during normal operation. Rotating gears
can generate slight whine that may only be audible at extreme speeds.

Severe obviously audible transmission noise is generally the result of a lubricant


problem. Insufficient, improper or contaminated lubricant can promote rapid wear of
gears, synchros, shift rail, forks and bearing’s. The overheating caused by a lubricant
problem can also lead to gear breakage.

Electronic Control Unit and Self Diagnosis –

• Electronic Control Unit

Electronic Control Unit (ECU) is located under the co-driver’s seat or under
dashboard. Driver operates a selector switch to shift the vehicle from two-
wheel drive to four-wheel drive (and vice versa). Shifting is possible during
driving (only in 2H to 4H mode).
Interconnections between ECU and other system blocks are as shown in the
circuit diagram for Bolero –

Automatic Locking Hub –

When 4-wheel drive is selected, the automatic hub locks the axle shaft to
the wheel hub. This occurs when the vehicle is driven in either forward or
reverse direction. The hub unlocks when 2-wheel drive is selected, and the
vehicle is driven in the opposite direction for a few feet.

Construction –

The 4 Tanged washers are held in place on the Wheel Spindle. The cut-
outs on the drag sleeve (26) fit over the tangs on the washer, preventing
the drag sleeve from rotating. The brake band (24) fits over the serrated
portion of the drag sleeve. The tangs of the brake band are fitted through
the window in the steel inner cage (21). The plastic outer cage (20) fits
over the inner cage. Each tang of the brake band fits through each cutout
in the outer cage. The cam follower (19) is attached to the clutch gear
(15). The follower profile on the cam follower (A) ride against the cam
faces or ramps of the steel inner cage. The clutch gear slides on the splines
on the out side the hub sleeve (16). The axle shaft(C) is splined to the
inside of the hub sleeve. The large teeth on the outside of the clutch gear
can engage the teeth inside the outer clutch housing (9).The outer clutch
housing is bolted to the wheel hub. An End Cap (2) fits over the hub lock
assembly. The end cap contains a bearing assembly (6) that supports the
other end of the hub sleeve. The End Cap is fitted with an Aluminium
Decorative Plate(1) for better aesthetics.

Briefly, this is what happens when the hub locks -


The clutch gear (15) and cam follower (19) rotate up the cam face of the
inner cage (21). This causes the clutch gear to move outward on the hub
sleeve (16). The out side teeth of the clutch gear engage the inside teeth
of the outer clutch housing (9), locking the wheel hub to the axle shaft.
When the hub un-locks,

The clutch gear and cam follower rotate in the opposite direction, back
down the cam face of the inner cage. Spring pressure forces the clutch
gear inward, unlocking the wheel hub from the axle shaft.

Operation –

Now, let’s see how the hub operates in detail. When 4-wheel drive is
engaged (and vehicle starts to move ), the axle shaft starts to turn the hub
sleeve (16), clutch gear (15) and cam follower (19). The steel inner cage
(21) and plastic outer cage (20) also start to turn. (Remember, the drag
sleeve (26) is fixed to the wheel spindle and doesn’t rotate) When the
inner cage window hits the first brake band tang (30) the band tightens up
on the drag sleeve. This stops the inner cage. The cam follower (19) is
forced up the ramp of the inner cage (21).

Now, let’s see how the hub operates in detail. When 4-wheel drive is
engaged (and vehicle starts to move), the axle shaft starts to turn the hub
sleeve (16), clutch gear (15) and cam follower (19). The steel inner cage
(21) and plastic outer cage (20) also start to turn. (Remember, the drag

inner cage window hits the first brake band tang (30) the band tightens up
on the drag sleeve. This stops the inner cage. The cam follower (19) is
forced up the ramp of the inner cage (21).
As the cam follower moves up the ramp of the inner cage, it is moved
outward along the hub sleeve (16), pushing the clutch gear (15) into
engagement with the outer clutch housing. The cam follower (19) also
pushes against the lugs of the outer cage (20). The outer cage tang
contacts the second brake band tang (30). This unlocks the brake band and
allows it to turn freely on the drag sleeve serration’s.
When 2-wheel drive is selected to disengage the hubs, and the vehicle is
driven in the opposite direction for a few feet, the rotating front wheel
turns the outer clutch housing, clutch gear (15) and cam follower (19) in
the opposite direction. The cam follower moves down the ramp of the
inner cage (20). The return spring (14) pushes the clutch gear (15) along
the hub sleeve (16) and out of engagement with the outer clutch housing.

Noisy Operation –

A broken or missing 4 tanged washer can cause problems in 2 or 4 - wheel


drive.
A broken or missing washer will allow the drag sleeve to rotate with the
brake band . If the hub are not engaged , the brake band is unable to lock
on the drag sleeve and initiate the locking action of the clutches. If the
hubs are engaged, the brake band can not be released to allow the clutch
gear to disengage.
A broken or missing brake band cannot lock the inner cage to engage the
hub or be unlocked by the outer sleeve to allow the clutch gear to
disengage.
If both brake band tangs are touching the centre post of the outer sleeve,
there cannot be proper locking or unlocking action of the brake band
through the movement of the inner cage and outer cage. The centre post
of the outer cage and the window of the inner cage move relative to each
other when the hub is locking or unlocking. If the cages are not rotating
freely over each other, the hub may fail to engage or disengage.
A sticking clutch gear can cause the hub to bind in either the engage or the
disengage position. A broken return spring will cause the hub to remain in
the engaged position.
In each case, the defective component should be replaced with the correct
part or assembly. Always check the most recent parts list for the correct
part numbers and available assemblies for the type of the hub you are
servicing.

Lubrication –

The automatic hub lock should be lubricated at every 40000 Kms.

• Remove drag sleeve assembly and keep aside, DO NOT lubricate drag
sleeve assembly as it is permanently lubricated with Darmex grease.

• Check the brake band and drag sleeve serration for presence of
appropriate quantity of grease and wear, in case of insufficient
grease, replace the drag sleeve.
• DO NOT remove the brake band as this could change the spring
tension and affect hub operation.

• All components except drag sleeve assembly and outer bearing race
assembly are lubricated by dipping them in automatic transmission
fluid. Allow excess fluid to drip off before assembling the hub.

• Lubricate the outer bearing race with light wheel bearing grease.
DO NOT use axle grease.

Removal & Installation of Automatic Locking Hub –

Removal –

Loosen the end cap with the help of


pin spanner

Remove 6 nos. bolts


Pull out ALH from the wheel hub.

Installation of Automatic Locking Hub –

1. Make sure that the snap ring and spacer is installed on the axle shaft.
2. Make sure that the slots on the Drag Sleeve are engaging with the 4-
tanged washer. Install the Hub Lock in the wheel hub.
3. Rotate the Hub Lock to match the threaded holes of the wheel hub.
Put 6 nos. bolts face to face.
4. Tighten 6 nos. bolts with the help of special Allen key to 5.5 to 6.5
kg-m torque using Torque Wrench.
5. Tight the end cap with the help of pin spanner.

Disassembly of Automatic Locking Hub –

Remove the end cap and bearing race spring. Remove the bearing inner
race and retainer.
Invert assembly vertically so the
drag sleeve comes up.

Remove the snap ring with suitable


plier. Exercise caution while
removing the snap ring.

Remove the drag sleeve with brake


band. To lift out the drag sleeve,
rotate it slightly to release the brake
band tangs from the sleeves and tilt
it up on the side opposite the tangs.

Note the position of the components for correct assembly.

The clip doesn’t need to be removed


for the normal servicing. However, if
it’s damaged, remove it using
thumbnail force only to avoid
stretching or distorting it. Do not
remove the brake band for normal
servicing.

Remove the large snap ring from the


outer clutch housing.
Remove the steel inner cage by
pressing it over the tang of the outer
cage (in the window). Lift the inner
cage straight out, don’t tilt it.

Remove the plastic outer cage by


prying one lug out of the large
groove in the outer clutch housing.
Hold the lug and go on to the next
one. It’s easiest to start with the
lugs opposite the one that fits into
the window of the steel inner cage.

Slide the cam & follower assembly


out of the outer clutch housing.
Cleaning –
• Using a cleaning solvent, clean the all the parts except DRAGE SLEEVE
since it is permanently lubricated with Darmex grease.

• After cleaning dry the parts with low pressure (20 psi maximum)
compressed air.

• Lubricate the bearings race with light wheel bearing grease and cam
& follower assembly with ATF oil. Protect lubricated parts from dust.

Inspection –

• Visually check all the parts for damage.

• Examine the protective end cap for


cracks, O - ring.

• Brake band for damage or distortion.

• Also, inspect the teeth on the cam


follower, clutch gear and outer clutch
housing for wear or damage.

When diagnosing a “ratcheting” hub, remember that the noisy hub is


“NOT” always the defective one. It depends on whether the hubs have just
been disengaged. Let’s examine why.
If only one hub disengages after 2-wheel drive is selected, the faulty hub
transmits the wheel rotation to the axle shaft. The mechanical situation is
like a conventional axle raised off the ground. The axle shaft drives the
differential pinions through the side gear. The ring gear and cage are not
turning, so the other side gear and axle shaft are driven in the opposite
direction to the first one. The axle shaft tries to engage the hub against
the direction of the wheel rotation, causing the noise from the hub. In this
case, the faulty hub is not making the noise. The non-noisy hub should be
checked. If 4-wheel drive is selected and only one hub engages, there may
not be any noise from the hub, depending on the malfunction. The only
symptom might be a loss of drive at that hub. If the hub is “ratcheting” in
4-wheel drive, it should be inspected.

Tightening Torques
Description
The function of the propeller shaft is to transmit power from one point
to another. The shaft is designed to transmit torque from transmission /
transfer case to the axle.

The propeller shaft has to operate through constantly changing length


while transmitting torque. The axle rides suspended by spring in floating
motion. The propeller shaft must be able to change the transmission
angle when going through the various road surfaces. This is done
through Universal joints which permit the propeller shaft top operates
at different angles. The slip joint or the yokes allow the cotntratction or
expansion of the propeller shaft thus allowing the length to change.

The propeller shaft is built with the yoke lugs in line with each other,
which is called phasing. This design produces the smoothest running
condition. An out of phase shaft can cause a vibration.

The propeller shaft is 2 piece with a centre bearing construction.


The view of the split propeller shaft is shown below.

The details of the centre bearing are shown below.


While assembling the split propeller shaft –

1. Locate the centre bearing assembly- keep the bolts loose in the slot
of the chassis.
2. Locate & tighten the propeller shaft flange at the gearbox end.
3. Tighten the centre bearings mounting bracket bolts.
4. Fit the rear propeller shaft.

This procedure is important; in order to avoid straining the centre


bearing Failure to do so will result in transmission noise and
premature failure of the centre bearing

Trouble shooting –

Tyres that are out of round or wheels that are out of balance cause a
low frequency vibration.
Brake drums that are unbalanced cause a harsh low frequency vibration.
Driveline vibrations can also result from loose or damaged engine
mountings.
Propeller shaft vibrations will keep on increasing as the vehicle speed
increase. The propeller shaft does not cause a vibration that is present
only in a narrow speed range.

vibration occurs. Note the intensity &
1 2 the speed at which the vibration
occurs.
Install a screw clamp at position “1”

Start the engine and recheck for


1 2 vibrations. If there is little or no
change in vibrations then move the
clamp or of the other 3 positions.
If there is no difference in vibration at the other position then the
vibration is not due to the propeller shaft imbalance.

If the vibration decreases, install a


second clamp and repeat the test.

If the clamps cause an additional


imbalance, separate the clamp (¼ inch
above & below the mark.). Repeat the
vibration test.
Increase the distance between the
clamps until the vibration is at the
lowest level.

At this position bend the slack end of


the clamp so that it does not loosen.
Install the wheel & tyres. Lower the
vehicle.

If the amount of the vibration remains unacceptable then repeat the


exercise at the Gearbox end.

Runout

Remove dirt, rust, paint &


undercoating from the propeller shaft
surface.

The dial indicator must be installed


perpendicular to the shaft surface.
Measure the runout at the center and
at the ends – away from the weld.

Replace the propeller shaft if the runout is beyond the specified


limit.

Care of the system --

Caution:
Before undercoating a vehicle with any underbody protection. The
propeller shaft and the UJ’s should be covered. This will prevent the
undercoating from causing an unbalanced condition and vibration.

Use the exact replacement hardware for attaching the propeller shafts.
The specified torque’s must always be applied when tightening the
mounting bolts.

9 The UJ to be greased at every service.


9 The slip joint should be lubricated every 10,000 Kms.

The procedure of greasing is as follows –


1. Inspect the Sliding yoke for Grease & play; fill the grease through the
grease nipple with pressurized gun.

2. Inspect the Universal Joint for Grease & play; fill the grease through
the grease nipple with pressurized gun.

Repairs --

Lift the vehicle

Put aligning marks on the flange,


UJ and propeller shaft before
removal.

Do not use a punch to mark


impression.

Remove the mounting bolts at the


pinion end

Remove the mounting bolts at the


gearbox end.

It is important to protect the


machined, external surface of the
yoke from damage after propeller
shaft removal. Any damage in the
machined surface will lead to
damage of the seal and cause a
leak.

Remove the circlips holding the UJ


in place.

Applying the socket wrench on the


outside of the propeller shaft
flange, force out one end of UJ
using a vice as shown. (One end 32
mm socket to receive other end
21-mm socket to push.)

While assembling- insert both ends


then hold & press fit them with
special tool.

Description

The rear suspension is with coil spring and five links. This type of rear suspension
provides more comfort & better handling characteristics of the vehicle.

The suspension encompasses Upper Links, lower links, Pan hard Rod. Coil springs &
Shock Absorbers.The upper & lower links are tubular with rubber bushes press fitted
on both ends. The lower links are taking the loads due to acceleration & braking. The
upper links mainly are used to guide and to some extent share the lateral loads. One
end of the links is connected to the chassis while the other end is at axle.

The Pan hard rod is connected between the axle & the chassis .It takes all the
transverse loads experienced during cornering controlling the axle movement in lateral
direction.
The anti roll bars are used to transfer the loads to the outer wheel during turns.
The coil springs absorb the road shocks due to terrain & different load conditions. The
shock absorbers dampen the oscillations of the vehicle. The rubber bumper fitted on
the chassis reduces the impact loads into the body.

The bonded rubber silent blocks / bushings are press fitted & does not require
lubrication with oil. (Also should never be lubricated). While jacking up the vehicle
the jack should always be put below the axle only. Under any circumstances the
vehicle should not be jacked up putting the jack below any of the link including
Pan hard rod.

While lifting the vehicle, if the resting pads are pressing against any of
l lower links, then there is a strong possibility that lower links may get
bent.

Trouble Shooting

Shock Absorbers

Spring Leaves

Tightening Torques
Description

The rear suspension is a progressively rated multi leaf spring with


double acting shock absorber. The front end of the springs is mounted
at the pivot end through rubber bushings. The bushings isolate the road
noise and road harshness as the springs move. The rear end of the
spring is connected to the springs through shackle

Again the spring and shackles use the rubber bushes to isolate the
noise and road harshness. The shackles allow the variation of the spring
length when the vehicle moves over the different terrain causing the
wheel to move up and down.

The travel of the spring is controlled by bumper, which is mounted on


the axle. The springs are connected to the axle with U-bolts and spring
plate. All suspension components that use rubber bushings should be
tightened with the vehicle at normal height. If the springs were not at
normal ride height condition the ride quality would be affected and
also the life of rubber will also be affected. Rubber bushings must
never be lubricated.
The ride control is achieved by the use of double acting shock absorbers
and leaf springs. The shock absorbers dampen the jolt and the rebound
as the vehicle travels over the various road conditions. The top end of
the shock absorber is connected to the chassis while the bottom end is
connected to axle.

The anti roll bars are used to transfer the loads to the outer wheel
during turns. They have been introduced effective Serial number
32A98547.

A sketch of the antiroll bars in rear with spring, shock absorber & axle
is shown below.

Trouble Shooting

A squeak noise from the shock absorber can be produced if movement


between the rubber bushing and metal occurs. Tightening the attaching
parts can usually stop this noise. If the squeak noise persist then
inspect for worn or damaged bushings and attaching components.
Repair as necessary if any thing found amiss.
The shock absorber bushings do not require any kind of lubrication. Do
not lubricate the bushings to reduce bushing noise. Grease or mineral
oil base lubricants will deteriorate the bushing.

The shock absorbers are not refillable or adjustable. If a malfunction


occurs, the shock absorber must be replaced. To test a shock absorber
hold it upright in fully extended position for 10 minutes. Then force the
piston in and out of the cylinder four or five times. Also check for any
hydraulic oil leakage. The action throughout each stroke should be
smooth and even.

While assembling ensure that:
) The rubber bushes are liberally coated with soap water.
) The hole in the center of the pivot and the hanger bracket are
clean and not blocked by mud. (The hole is provided so that while
assembling the air should not get trapped between the two
bushes- preventing proper assembly.)
) The eyes in spring and pivot/ shackle are properly aligned before
the bushes are inserted.

After the bushes are inserted, remove the support from the chassis &
axle (if used) and then tighten the pivot and shackle bolts to 50 to 70
Nm (37 to 52 Lb ft).

Leaf Replacement –

The leaf springs need to be replaced only if the springs are broken or
are sagging.

To check for the spring sagging it is recommended that bump clearance


in unladen conditions is measured.

The bump clearance has to measured after ensuring that


) The vehicle is in level ground.
) It is unladen.
) The tyre pressure is as per the recommendations and also no
variation between left and right tyres.
) The bump stop is not in deteriorated or damaged condition.

The bump clearance is 85± 10 mm and the variation between Left and
right is allowed to be 7 mm

Recambering of the spring is not recommended. (Please note that


the spring is of progressive type – any recambering will result in the
ride becoming linear as well as stiff.

 Air Conditioning system.

Heater system

The heater system is controlled water flow system. A water valve controls the quantity
of water entering the heater core.

Air conditioning System

The system uses non-CFC refrigerant R134A.

The refrigerant at low pressure and temperature enters the compressor where it is
compressed and its pressure and temperature increase. The refrigerant after leaving
compressor enters condenser and here it is condensed into high-pressure liquid and is
collected in receiver drier. From the receiver drier it passes through expansion valve
where it is throttled down to a low temperature and pressure. After finding its way
through expansion valve it finally passes into evaporator coil where it extracts heat

from surrounding. The refrigerant, which was in low-pressure liquid state, converts to
low-pressure vapour. The low-pressure vapour then again enters the compressor.
The incoming air (in fresh mode or recycle mode) passes through a particle filter &
then gets cooled and dehumidified by the evaporator. The evaporator is in operation
all the times unless the AC switch is kept in off condition. To maintain minimum
evaporator temperature a fixed thermostat-setting switch controls the compressor
clutch. This switch which is called Anti freeze switch has a probe so that it touches the
coldest part of the evaporator is used to avoid formation of ice. (If ice formation is
allowed then the ice formed prevents exchange of heat thus reducing the cooling and
forcing the compressor to work continuously/ longer period leading to low cooling as
well as system failure.)

The evaporator always cools the incoming air (recirculated or fresh) to an amount set
by the fixed thermostat value. The cooled air later goes through the heater coil. Thus
the final air temperature is dependent on the amount of hot water passing through the
heater.

For example when the control panel thermostat is set to the coldest value then no
quantity of hot water goes through the heater and the final outcome is only the cold
air. As the control panel’s knob is moved towards the hotter the mixing start i.e. the
quantity of hot water going through the heater starts increasing proportionately.

It should be borne in mind that when the engine is cold the temperature of incoming
water is low, hence to get a desired temperature the knob will have to be set any
given position. However as the engine warms up the water coming to the heater also
gets warmer, thus the final out coming air temperature will raise. As a result after the
engine warms up the knob in the panel will have to be readjusted to get the same out
coming air temperature.

Trinary Pressure switch: It is mounted on Receiver drier.

High-Low Pressure operation:. If the system pressure becomes low then it switches
off the compressor. Thus in the case of refrigerant loss due to any system leak the
compressor failure is avoided. Once the pressure increases above 32 bar then the
compressor is shut off to avoid any system failure. If the system pressure falls due to
any leaks then the compressor is switched off.
Medium pressure operation: When the pressure in the system goes above 17 bars then
it switches on the condenser fan. As the pressure reduces below 14 bar the condenser
fan is switched off.

In Car repairs -

 Extreme care has to be taken to prevent any liquid refrigerant in coming in


contact with skin. Always wear safety goggles.

 Do not allow liquid refrigerant to touch bright metal. Refrigerant will tarnish
bright metal and chrome surface. Refrigerant in combination with moisture is
very corrosive and can damage to all metal surfaces.

 When charging, always keep the tank in upright position. If the tank is on its
side or upside down, liquid refrigerant will enter and affect the compressor.

 Always double check that the gas being used is a R134A.The refrigerant
cylinder is color-coded to avoid confusion. R134A is Blue.

 The compressor oil for R134A gas is different from R12A compressor oil. Do not
mix. If the R12A compatible compressor oil is used then it will damage the O
rings as well as the receiver Drier.

 The Robinair equipment AC 350 should be used with R134A gas only.

 Never discharge a system or do brazing/welding operation when the engine is


ON.

 PAG oil is highly hygroscope. Open containers only when ready to use. Cap
containers immediately after use.

 Use only the specified oil for the AC system

 Do not allow PAG oil to contact bare skin.

 Do not allow PAG oil to contact paint work- wash immediately

The charging procedure comprises of the following distinct steps –

Discharging the system.

Evacuation of the system and checking for low vacuum leak

Purging – if required.

Preliminary charging & High Pressure leak test.

Charging the system.

Evaporator cleaning

Performance test.

Discharging the system --


The following procedure is recommended for evacuation.

1. Connect the hose of Recovery unit to the vehicle circuit


Red hose to the high pressure charging port
Blue hose the low pressure charging port

2. Open the quick coupler valves on the hose after they are connected to the system

3. Check the manifold gauges the units control pane. They should register above
zero. If it is indicating zero then either the hose is not connected
properly/or/quick coupler valves are not opened or the system is empty.

4. Make sure that the drain valve at the bottom is closed.

5. Open both the manifold valves on the control panel

6. Open the Gas (vapor valve and liquid valve on the tank).

7. Switch on the power

8. Choose Recover option from the panel

9. To assure that the complete recovery of the refrigerant. Wait for 5 minutes and
watch the manifold gauges for a rise above zero.
10. If a rise occurs, press HOLD/CONT. repeat until the system pressure hold for at
least 2 minutes

11. The system displays the weight of the refrigerant recovered.

12. Confirm that the oil catch bottle is empty. Then slowly open the drain valve and
allow the oil to be drained into the bottle. When all the oil has been recovered,

close the valve immediately. New clean oil must be added to system before
recharging with the refrigerant

13. The automatic recovery unit will operate until the air conditioning system has been
emptied of refrigerant down to atmospheric pressure. The cylinder can now be
closed.

Evacuation of the system –


The evacuation and leak test ensues that the system does not leak under low-
pressure conditions.

Ensure that the hoses are connected to the charging ports and valves on the hoses.
Tank & manifold are open.

Choose vacuuming program (Shift/Reset option) from the control panel.

Set up the vacuuming time in minutes. Approximately 15 minutes of vacuuming time is


recommended.

The unit displays the complete message after the vacuuming is over.

Check the moisture indicator. If it is green, it means that the system is ready for
recharging. If it is not green then manual recycling has to be done for one hour. In
case the moisture indicator still does not turn green, the reason could be saturated
receiver drier. It should be replaced.

The charging station is equipped with recycling facility. During evacuation the
refrigerant is automatically recycled to assure recharging with the cleanest possible
refrigerant. Recycling begins automatically after 5 second of the vacuum pump
starting. Non condensable gases (mostly air) are automatically vented from the tank.

The system must hold the vacuum of –100 Kpa for a minimum of 15 minutes. If vacuum
is held then the system has no ands and should be evacuated for further 15 minutes

This completes the evacuation process.

Purging – if required --

Where the system has been ruptured, contaminated, or a compressor has to be


removed, reinstalled or replaced, the system should be checked for contamination,
and if so then the entire system must be flushed.

The system can be flushed with Nitrogen.

Preliminary charging & High Pressure leak test --

This ensures that the system does not leak under high pressure conditions.

Confirm that the hoses are connected to the charging ports and valves on the hose,
Tank & manifold are open

Enter the refrigerant quantity by weight and press ENTER. (At least 200 grams of
charge are required to do the high-pressure leakage test)

Press CHG to start charging. The unit displays the completed message after the
charging is completed.

Use the electronic leak detector to probe the leakages. Leakage checking to be done
at the following points –
• Expansion valve joints
• All pipe joints.
• Suction & discharge ports.
• Both the charging ports

Note: Inspect for leaks by slowly moving the probe of the detector around all the hose
connections and points of possible leakage’s. The R134A is heavier than air; hence,
any leakage will be more apparent at the bottom of fitting.

Charging the system –

If no leaks are found then do an additional charging of 650±20 grams. The total system
requirement is 830 ± 20 grams.

However in case of leakage, the system should be discharged.


After that repeat, the steps from evacuation onwards till the above steps. Then
proceed.

In case the system was checked for High pressure leaks by using Nitrogen, Evacuation
should done first and then system should be directly charge with 850±20 grams.

Close both the manifold valves and then start the vehicle.

Start the vehicle’s AC system and set it to maximum cooling. Check the pressure
gauges and temperatures in the vehicle.

Turn off the engine.

Disconnect the high side hose and start the vehicle. Open both the manifold valves to
pull the refrigerant from both the hoses into the system.

At the lowest operating pressure close the low side valve and switch off the vehicle.
Disconnect the low side hose and remove adapters if used.
Close the high side manifold valve. Both the valves should now be in closed position.

Special Instructions for Vehicle Users to avoid Wet Smell on the Evaporator:

Put OFF the AC & put Blower on 4th speed 5 minutes before stopping the Vehicle, this
will keep Evaporator DRY & NO WET SMELL will come from Evaporator.

Performance test –

Pressure gauge readings together with the face air outlet temperatures are the only
method of checking and diagnosing the cooling system.

Checking system oil charge —

The compressor is charged at the factory with 150 cc of FD46XG(PAG) refrigerant oil,
which circulates within the entire AC system. Only this type of oil, which is pale
yellow in color, must be used when adding or changing oil. This oil is not compatible
with any other PAG oil. It is not necessary to regularly check the oil level in the
system. It should be remembered that the oil gets circulated within the whole system.
Therefore, whenever an AC system component is replaced a quantity of new
refrigerant oil must be added to the system, where a major loss of system oil has
occurred. The loss normally takes place when:
Hose failure or leak is present.

Refrigerant system component is damaged due to collision.


If oil is suspected to be in the system

The procedure to be followed is –

Recover refrigerant from the system by evacuation.


Drain out the refrigerant oil.
Flush the remaining oil using R134a refrigerant.
Add 150 cc of new refrigerant oil to the compressor.
Install the compressor after replacing the Suction and discharge “O” rings.
Note: Ensure that the ‘O” rings are not twisted and that both the seals and ‘O’ rings
are clean and then oil.
Follow the steps of charging procedure.

Compressor Replacement –

1. Discharge the refrigerant

2. Remove the suction and discharge pipes from the compressor, ensuring no foreign
items get clogged to the ports. (In order to have better accessibility it is suggested
that the following parts be removed first- right wheel, right aprons; oil cooler)

3. Loosen the tensioner pulley.

4. Remove the fan belt

5. Loosen the compressor mounting bolts.

6. Remove the compressor.

7. Drain and measure the refrigerant oil from the original compressor by removing the
drain plug.

8. For example, the oil quantity drained from the original compressor is 80 cc.
The replacement compressor comes with 150 cc of compressor oil.
The implication is that out of the total 150 cc of the original compressor. 70 cc of
oil is in the system. Hence if the replacement compressor is fitted as it is, it will
cause this 70 cc extra to get into the whole system and affect the performance.

9. Hence it should always be –


Oil to be drained from new compressor =Total oil capacity of compressor- Drained
oil
The refitting procedure is the reverse of assembly procedure.

10. Follow the steps of charging procedure.

Control Panel --

The control panel has 3 knobs- the right knob is for degree of cooling to heating-
depending on the knob setting. For maximum cooling set the knob on blue color dot

Replacing the Antifreeze switch –

The function of the anti freeze switch is to protect the refrigerant system from
damage. It switches off the compressor when the condenser water dries ices up on the
evaporator fins. Otherwise, the evaporator becomes extra cool, resulting in the air
passage between the fins getting blocked. Suction pipe becomes extra cool and
sometimes iced up, the refrigerant remains liquid even after the expansion valve due
to insufficient heat transfer across the evaporator surface and eventually the
compressor will get damaged due to liquid refrigerant inflow.

Replacement procedure:

Remove the wiring harness from the connector.


Pull out the probe carefully.
While fitting back, ensure that the washer & the O ring is present.

Recommended Lubricants –

Refrigerant: R134A
Compressor oil: FD46XG. PAG stands for ( Poly Alkaline Glycol oil)

Oil quantity to be filled while replacing components –

• Condenser/evaporator: In addition to the drained quantity- 20 cc


• Receiver Drier: Add 20 cc of new oil
• If any one pipe is replaced then 10cc. (If 2 pipes replaced then it should be 20
cc.)

Description
The power steering system is a rack and pinion type hydraulic system. The engine
driven hydraulic –pump supplies oil to a control valve situated in housing that supports
the pinion shaft. Movement, imparted to the control valve from the shaft in the
steering column is via a torsion bar. This sensing bar moves the control valve, which in
turn directs the oil to one side or the other side of the ram piston inside the steering
rack.

The control valve is a rotary type spool valve controlled by the torsion bar interposed
between the steering shaft and pinion of the steering box. The spool valve is a shaft
with six flutes and a sleeve, which has six internal axial grooves, encases this. Radial
ports in the sleeve and shaft pass the oil from the supply to the lines connected to the
ram chamber.

A series of the splines between the shaft and the sleeve limit the twist of the torsion
bar to about 7 degrees in each direction; below this angle the torque applied by the
driver to the steering box is transmitted by the torsion bar. This fail-safe feature
provides a mechanical drive from the steering shaft to the pinion in the event of any
power system failure.

The amount of the twist of the torsion bar and the movement of the spool valve is
proportional to the effort applied by the driver. Initial power steering assistance is
obtained at about 0.5 degrees deflection of the bar and this power rises progressively
as the bar moves to about 4 degrees; the point o maximum assistance.

When the wheel is in straight-ahead position, all the ports are open so oil is allowed to
flow through the valve and return to the reservoir.

As soon as the wheel is turned, the torsion bar is deflected; this allows the spool valve
to rotate relative to the sleeve, cutting off the oil flow both to the reservoir and one
side of the ram. At the same time the other side of the ram is subjected to oil
pressure, which builds up sufficiently to move the road wheel and return the torsion
bar to no – torque position. During this stage the oil displaced from the uncompressed
side of the ram is returned to the reservoir.

On occasion when the resistance to road wheel movement is excessive, the oil
pressures build up to its maximum. At this pressure a relief valve fitted inside the
pump opens and allows the oil to return to pump inlet.

Trouble Shooting –
The rack and pinion design is a simple design. However it is still susceptible to various
problems in particular to leaks. If the bellows are ripped or are unable to keep the
contaminant’s away then it can cause damage to oil seal and subsequent leaks.

One complaint, which can be present, is that the steering may be stiff and jerky when
the unit is cold and as the vehicle is driven/ warmed the power assist gradually comes
back. It normally indicates that grooves worn into the bore of the pinion aluminum
housing by hard control valve seals.

Wear in the centre housing causes the fluid to leak around the rack piston. Causing
either steering wander or lack of straight-ahead stability. Another cause of steering
wander and erratic control often accompanied by clumping, thunking noise is the
deterioration of rack mounting bushings.

Fluid levels can be hard to locate. Sometimes you will see a low level in the pump
reservoir but no evidence of escaping liquid. Squeeze the bellows and you will
probably find that they are full of liquid. To confirm if that side of the rack is the
culprit, then remove the both the bellows, clean the rack housing and then operate
the system to observe the seepage directly.

It should be mentioned that a rusty input shaft U joint or deteriorated flexible


textile/rubber coupling could imitate rack problems.

After attending to the repairs it critical that the system be completely flushed
completely. Disconnect the return line from the pump and put in a container, then
disable the injection (remove the wire from the shut off solenoid) and crank the
engine. Add fresh fluid until you get a clear flow from the line. Take care that the
reservoir does not run dry during the flushing. Failure to do so will result in
premature failure of the repaired unit.)

Working principle of the Steering Pump –


The steering pump is non-serviceable. Hence it cannot be repaired.

The pump is a constant flow, vane type incorporating a flow control valve (with an
integrated relief valve) and it is gear driven by engine. The power steering pump
consists of housing, drive shaft, cartridge assembly & bearing(s) apart from the valve.

As the pump rotates a vacuum is created at the inlet, which causes atmospheric
pressure to force the fluid in to pump from the reservoir. As the rotor rotates, the
inlet port closes and the fluid is trapped between the vans. Further movement forces
the fluid to be pressurized as the profile of the cam ring constantly reduces the
available volume. At the minimum point of the profile the chamber opens into the
outlet port.

The rotor is having 10 vanes, thus each rotation is equal to 5 pumping action. The
discharge rate of the power steering pump increases in proportion to the pump speed
increases.. The flow control valve is provided to maintain the optimum flow of the
supplied oil for power steering operation, at all engine speeds. The relief pressure will
open when the system pressure exceeds the set value. This normally happens when
the steering wheel is turned and held in the lock position.

Necessity

The seat belt is a concrete device for protecting the body of a passenger in a
collision. But when the body is subjected to a large impact in the case of a
high-speed collision, the seat belt alone cannot protect the body. And
especially in the case of a serious front-end collision, the upper body tilts
forward even when it is secured with the seat belt, and the head or chest may
collide with the steering wheel or the windshield, resulting in injuries.

The SRS Air bag system is a device that reduces head and chest injuries to the
driver and passengers by inflating an airbag installed in the steering wheel or
the instrument panel when such a collision occurs, supplementing the function
of the seat belt.

Thus, the SRS Air bag system supplements the restraining and protective
functions of the seat belt. For that reason the name of the system is
Supplementary Restraint System (SRS)

SRS Components

The SRS system consists of the following components:

• Driver side Air Bag Module


• Passenger side Air Bag Module
• Air Bag ECU
• Air Bag Warning indicator (On Instrument Cluster)
• Wiring Harness
• Driver Seat belt Pre tensioner
• Passenger Seat belt Pre tensioner

Operation

The crash sensors in the air bag ECU continuously monitor to determine if the
frontal impact is severe enough to deploy the air bags. When an impact of
sufficient force occurs, the air bag ECU sends an electrical signal to the air bag
modules which in turn rapidly ignites the energetic material and inflates the air
bag. The inflated airbag deploys out of steering wheel and glove box cover. As
the entire deployment of air bag happens in less than a second, in combination
with seat belts, it slows down the driver’s or passengers forward motion, thus
reducing the risk of head or chest injury. The air bags deflate quickly thru the
pores in the air bag cushion. Therefore air bag is not a substitute of seat belts.
To maximize your protection always wear seat belts. The SRS can function only
when the ignition key is ‘ON’.

Note: The SRS front air bags are not designed to inflate for side or rear
collisions, roll over or if it is involved in low speed frontal collision.

How Airbag Inflators Work

The intended function of an airbag is to provide supplemental restraint to


automobile occupants in the event of a collision. This is done by the rapid
inflation of a cushion by non-toxic gas that is generated and/or released by an
inflator in response to an electrical signal from a collision detecting sensor(s).
The inflated cushion helps to absorb the energy of a driver or passenger and
prevent body contact with the vehicle structure.

Driver Air Bag (DAB)

Exploded view of Driver Air Bag

Description

The Driver Air Bag Module sits centrally as a complete unit in the steering
wheel. At high speeds, the danger arises of being thrown against the steering
wheel in the event of a crash, even if the driver’s seat belt is fastened. The air
bag protects the driver against collision with the steering wheel & thus
alleviates the consequences of the accident. The deployment of DAB depends
upon the severity and direction of the frontal collisions.

Note: The SRS front air bags are not designed to inflate for side or rear
collisions, roll over or if it is involved in low speed frontal collision.

be discharged in the form of electrostatic energy
• High heat sources that exceed 1500 C

Q: What would cause an airbag to accidentally discharge?


Ans: The probable causes are as mentioned below:
• Introduction of an electrical energy source
• Heating the metal airbag inflator canister to a temperature greater than
150° C
• Drilling, sawing, puncturing, and shearing in the igniter/squib area.

Q: How much force does it take to puncture an inflator wall?


Ans: The airbag inflator vessel wall thickness and pressure containment
specifications are such that the force required to puncture the inflator wall is
likely greater than would be experienced under reasonable handling conditions
on a production line. Power equipment (e.g., robotics, drills, pisses, metal
shears, etc.) may be able to puncture the inflator wall. Care should be taken to
prevent unplanned or unsafe acts by power equipment or external penetration
of the inflator wall.

Q: What is the cooling time of the inflator if one deploys?


Ans: The airbag module attachment components can be handled within
minutes following deployment. When handling inflators, you should allow up to
45 minutes cooling time in order to handle it without the hazard of burning the
skin (<40° C).

Introduction
Cruise control known as speed control or Auto cruise is a system to automatically
control the speed of the vehicle. It enables the driver to maintain a constant road
speed without using the accelerator pedal. To activate cruise, the vehicle speed must
be greater than 40 km/h and engine speed should be greater than 1200 rpm.

Need for the feature -

• Its usefulness for long drives across sparsely populated roads results in better
fuel efficiency.
• To maintain the lane speed limit.

Operating Principle -

Cruise Control system works on the closed loop system principal. System controls the
fuel injection of Engine depending on the feedback signal of speed of the vehicle, to
maintain the SET speed of vehicle.

The system has four switches –

Press SET+ to go into cruise mode.

1. SET (+) To increase the set cruising speed -

• Press and hold the SET (+) switch.


• It will increase the speed of the vehicle by 1.5Km/hr, while vehicle is in
Cruise mode.
• While in Cruise mode, if pressed continuously, vehicle speed increases by
1.5Km/hr. e.g. if vehicle is running at the speed of 70 Km/hr in cruise
mode ,on pressing set (+) once ,speed will increase by 1.5 km/hr, if press
continuously the speed will also increase continuously in steps of 1.5
km/hr.
• Release the SET (+) switch as soon as the desired cruise speed has been
reached.

2. SET (-)To reduce the set cruising speed –

• Press and hold the SET (-) switch.


• It will decrease the speed of vehicle by 1.5Km/hr, while vehicle is in Cruise
mode.
• While in Cruise mode, if pressed continuously, vehicle speed decreases
continuously by 1.5Km/hr. e.g. if speed is 70 km/hr on pressing cruise (-)
once, speed will decrease by 1.5 km/hr, if press continuously the speed will
also decrease continuously in steps of 1.5 km/hr.
• Release the SET (-) switch as soon as the desired cruise speed has been
reached.
• Do remember that cruise control system will not operate at vehicle speed
below 40 km/hr.

3. RESUME/COAST (resume to the last preset speed) -

By pressing the RESUME/COAST switch, the last set cruise speed can be resumed,
provided the ignition switch is ON and the vehicle speed is above 40km/hr. e.g. If the
user activates the cruise at 90 Km/hr & runs the vehicle. After some time, user
deactivates or comes out from Cruise mode. Here if user wishes to have the same
cruise speed (i.e.90km/hr), user may press RES/COAST button, which will re-activate
the cruise mode and vehicle cruise speed will be maintained at 90km/hr

4. CRUISE (Press “cruise” button to Disengage the cruise control)

The purpose of this switch is to deactivate the cruise application by pressing the
clutch or brake pedal, or when the cruise switch is pulled up.
The preset cruise speed in system memory will automatically get cancelled when the
ignition switch is turned off.

Clock spring (Communication Link ) & Engine ECU

• All the Steering Switches are connected to Engine ECU through Clock spring.
• Clock spring is part of Steering & it acts as a communication link between
switches and engine ECU
• Clock spring takes all electrical inputs signals from steering switches & feed
to Engine ECU.
• Depending on various electrical signals from Switches, Engine ECU takes the
respective action related to the cruise application

Overtaking the vehicle in cruise mode -

Cruise Control will not work in 1st Gear & reverse gear.

2nd Gear or 3rd gear - ~30 km/hr


4th Gear or 5th gear - ~ 45 km/hr are the preferable speeds in each gear above
which the Cruise Control can be comfortably operated.

If the foot is kept on Accelerator Pedal, then the Cruise Control function is overridden
& the input is taken from the Accelerator.

If the Accelerator Pedal is released before 20 seconds, then the Cruise Control
function will still be active & the system will return to Cruise Control mode. If the
Accelerator Pedal is released after 20 seconds, then the system will not return to
Cruise Control mode & the driver has to reactivate the Cruise Control if owner wants
to return to the Cruise Control mode.

While driving with cruise control, never shift the gear to neutral [or] to other
gears, without pressing the clutch pedal. Otherwise engine will over run.

• DO NOT use cruise control on slippery road surfaces (rainy/icy/snow-covered),


up-hill / down-hill driving.
• DO NOT use in heavy traffic where a constant speed can not easily be
maintained.
• If the SET PLUS button is pressed, the acceleration is felt to be too fast &
vehicle goes beyond control , then press brake or clutch immediately for safety
and to come out of cruise.

Introduction-
The primary applications of Rain Light Sensor are
1. Automatic Switching ON/OFF the wipers
2. Infinite control of the wiper speed relative to the amount of rain
3. Automatic Switching ON / OFF the headlamps in Low light/tunnel condition RLS
provides luxury feature to customer by automatically controlling Wiper & Headlamp
system.

Need for the feature


In adverse weather conditions, this rain sensor reduces the strain on the driver by
automatically controlling the wiping process, Also light sensor is extremely useful in
conditions like tunnel entry and low light condition in a day, thus increasing both
driver comfort & safety.

System Description

The system consists of:


• RLS Sensor
• Mounting Ring / Fixing Element
• ECU / Gateway (nothing but a controller) which receives data from Sensor and
accordingly activates & deactivates Wiping System & Head-Lamp System (located
below Driver Seat)
• “AUTO LIGHT” and “AUTO RAIN” Switches on Centre Bezel

Operating principle
Light Sensing
• The ambient light detection lens picks up the light / luminous intensity in the
vicinity of the vehicle.
• The frontal light detection detects the light / luminous intensity directly in front of
the vehicle.
• With intelligent software algorithm & considering difference between ambient light
detection lens & frontal light detection length accordingly Head-lamps will get On &
OFF.

Rain Sensing
• This Rain Light sensor is based on the principle of reflection and refraction.
• This sensor has Emitters & Receivers.
• The sensor transmits infrared beams towards windscreen and light bounces back
from surface of the windscreen to the receiver.
• The light bounces back from surface of the windscreen to the receiver.
• If water in any form sticks on the outside surface of the windscreen, it disturbs the
Beams and microcontroller interprets the data and determines the wiping speed.

RLS Operation -
1. Turn ON the Ignition
2. To activate the “AUTO LIGHT” feature, press switch with Auto light symbol
3. The orange LED on the switch will be continuously ON indicating that AUTO LIGHT
feature is activated. To come out of the Auto Light we have to press the switch once
again.
4. To activate the “AUTO RAIN” feature, press switch with Auto wiper symbol .
• Once “AUTO RAIN” mode is activated, system will give one WIPE on a Windshield and
the orange LED on the switch will be continuously ON indicating that AUTO RAIN
feature is activated.
• This feature will get deactivated either by turning off the ignition or pressing the
AUTO RAIN button.
• In case of any damages / scratches to windshield, new sensor needs to be installed/
assembled.
• Old sensor can not be used on the new windshield as it is calibrated for a particular
windshield.
• In case of any damage to Sensor, new sensor needs to be installed/ assembled at
authorized service stations because sensor is a non-serviceable unit.
• Auto Head-lamps will remain “ON” until enough Light intensity is not available. Once
enough light is present, after 5 Sec Head-Lamp will go OFF. This is a designed feature
to avoid false Switching ON / OFF of Headlamp.
• Do not put any band/tape outside the sensor on windshield.
• Do not use any chemical to clean inner surface of front windshield to avoid any
damage to the sensor.

Limitations -
• There is a difference between Light intensity sensed by Sensor & by Human eye. It
may possible in the evening time Head- Lamp will get on early as sensor senses it as a
Low intensity.
This is absolutely a normal behavior. In case customer doesn't require Light, he can
switch OFF “AUTO LIGHT” mode anytime.
• After sensing the water on windshield, wiping will start automatically. It might
possible that after wiping initiated you cannot see water on windshield but still wipers
will keep on
wiping. This is because of the mist present on windshield. Human eye cannot see that
but Sensor can sense it & it will keep on wiping. This is absolutely a normal behavior.
In case customer doesn't require Wipe, he can switch OFF “AUTO RAIN” mode anytime.
• Sensor cannot detect difference between water & mud, ice, snow, oil etc. In these
cases sensor may not behave properly and customer can switch OFF “AUTO RAIN”
mode manually.

Follow me home lamp –


In order to help the driver / passenger, while getting out of the vehicle during night
time, the headlight will light up for maximum 30 seconds. This feature will get
activated only when “Auto Light” switch is pressed which is mounted on centre bezel.
At low intensity, on turning off the ignition and door opening, this feature will get
activated for 30 seconds.

Description –
Reverse Parking Assistance system is an indicating system, which detects the obstacle
behind the vehicle above the ground level and alerts the driver with the distance and
direction of the obstacle along with the alert sound while reversing the vehicle

Need for the feature -


- To indicate the driver about the obstacle behind the vehicle which cannot be viewed
by normal IRVM and Side view mirrors while taking reverse.
- To avoid accidents of the vehicle while taking reverse.
- To avoid hitting the child playing behind the vehicle while reversing the vehicle.

Operating Principle -
It works on ultrasonic principle, In case of any obstacles lying behind the vehicle up to
maximum distance defined from the rear bumper i.e. 120 cm, obstacle height should
be 30 cm from the ground.

Sensor height (from the centre of the sensor) is above 57.8 cm from ground level in un
laden condition and 44.5 cm in fully laden condition, waves get disturbed and are
reflected back to sensor and sensor transmits the signal to ECU which converts data
into Audio/Visual alarm to driver.
The audible warning begins when reversing vehicle from a distance of about 120 cm.
The smaller the distance, longer will be the beep.
• High sensitivity
• - System automatically gets activated when the vehicle is shifted to reverse gear.
• The system generates both audible and visual warning on IRVM when the vehicle
comes within 120cm of the obstacle.
• Display with car image in IRVM provides the distance in cm and the direction of the
obstacle (left or right side of the vehicle)
• 3 sensors provide the maximum coverage across the width of the vehicle.
• Uses ultrasonic frequency for accuracy

Specifications –
• Operating temperature range: 35-110°C
• 3 detection zones: Less than 50, 50-70, 70-120 cm

Maximum Detection Distance –


1st zone: 120cm – 70cm – Green indication with corresponding distance
2nd zone: 70cm – 50cm - Green & Orange indication with corresponding distance
3rd zone: Less than 50cm – Green, Orange & Red indication with STOP indication.

System Description
Reverse Parking Assistance system consists of:
• Electronic Control unit (ECU)
• Sensors (3 numbers fitted at the rear bumper)
• Internal Rear View Mirror (IRVM) with car image and buzzer integrated.

Description –

Smart Power window with anti-pinch automatically stops during express up when
obstructions are detected in the path of the closing window.
This feature is provided on both the sides (i.e. Driver & Co Driver)
Customer benefit: Safety and convenience, particularly with feature like one-touch
closing.

Operating Principle –
Motor With Hall effect sensor - Power Window assembly with in-built Hall effect
sensor in motor gives output pulses for every revolution of motor to the controller
which enables the controller to trace the position of the glass and reverse the
direction of glass in case any upward movement of glass is obstructed before it
reaches to top end position.

Controller - The electronic control unit which is programmed with logic senses and
memorizes the end positions along with the frictional resistance of door during the
learning process.

Functions
Driver/Co Driver door with anti-pinching -

AUTO UP:
• Turn ON the Ignition.
• Pull the Driver/Co Driver door switch button more than 0.5 Sec. Glass will start
moving in upward direction. Remove your hand from switch.
• During this upward travel, any obstacle is detected with the force value ranging
between 70 ~ 100 Newton, controller will sense the load and will reverse the direction
of glass in down ward direction for almost full stroke length.
• However if the force against the glass is less than the specified value then this
function does not operate.

AUTO DOWN:
• Push the Driver/Co Driver door switch button more than 0.5 sec, glass will start
move in downward direction. Remove your hand from switch.
• These all functions like Auto Up/ down, Anti-pinch during Auto UP will get
deactivated in case of removal of Vehicle Battery Positive or Negative terminal.
• With de-activation of this feature, normal power windows will still function.

Smart power window learning -


To activate the feature the learning of the power window assembly for one complete
cycle is required & is as follows –

1. Move the window glass to extreme bottom most position by continuously pressing
the switch.
2. Start moving the glass up by pressing UP switch, hold the switch for two seconds
after reaching to top most position, system will understand this position as extreme
top position of glass.
3. Start moving the glass down wards by pressing down switch, hold the switch for two
seconds after reaching bottom most position, system will understand this position as
extreme bottom position of the glass.
With the above action, the system memorizes the end positions and the controller is
set for that stroke length.
Now pull and hold the power window switch for 1 sec for express window up. The
same procedure is to be repeated for express window down.
During express up, if movement of glass is obstructed by a 70 N force or more, it will
start moving in down ward direction for almost full stroke length.

• Make sure that the passenger has his/her hands etc. inside the vehicle before closing
the windows.
• Do not leave children unattended inside the vehicle. They could unknowingly
activate switches.

Recommendations -
1. In case of vehicle Battery terminal removal (Positive & negative) the express
up/express down/ Anti pinch during express up will get de-initialized. To initialize the
function we have to learn the system for one complete cycle.
2. In case of hard whether strip condition in express Up mode, glass will treat it as an
obstacle and glass will start going down. This needs to be checked at authorized
service stations
3. In case of anti pinching 5 times continuously at the same point, controller will loose
memory, so power window needs to be re learnt.

After rectification of the puncture, the swapped spare wheel should be brought back
to the original position by following steps No. 4 to 6.
If more than two tyres are to be swapped refer to sequential tyre rotation procedure.

Care to be taken while servicing -


The sensors are lightweight, mounted in the wheel rim. It’s important to be careful
when using a tyre-mounting machine. The sensor could be damaged in two ways either
by:

• Direct contact with the machine or


• By the bead of the tyre as it is forced over the rim.

- In case of tyre damage/ worn out ,the same sensor needs to be checked for the
physical damage before installing in the new tyre at recommended service station
After installation , the tyres need to be learned with system

- TPMS sensor is more precise than consumer-grade tyre pressure gauges. It may be
necessary to explain this if the customer routinely mis-inflates tyres using a gas
station gauge.

- If tyres are rotated or a sensor is replaced, the receiver must be reprogrammed,


otherwise the system will continue to report the correct pressures, but will assign
them to the wrong locations on the vehicle.

- In tyre rotation while deflating the tyre by 3 PSI, take care you are not deflating the
same tyre after long confirmation beep.

Important Points:

• It is recommended to fill the pressure to 32 psi at digital gauge station only.


• Every 15 days, owner has to inflate the tyre up to 32 psi and inflation should be
done at cold condition/ambient temp.
• Pressure deviation b/w TPMS Display and Gauge will be depending upon the
following factors:
• Atmospheric pressure
• Error in pressure filling gauge( not calibrated)
• Air leakage during inflation/deflation
• TPMS measures the absolute pressure of the tyre not relative pressure( gauge
pressure)
• Pressure deviation is defined for 0.5 psi (min) and 2 psi (max) by M&M.
• TPMS sensor has inbuilt battery which has got 5 years lifespan, so sensor needs
to be replaced after 5 years.
• If vehicle battery/fuse is first disconnected and then connected, it will take 2
minutes to come to All Tyre OK mode in TPMS display.
• While inflating tyre, pressure updating will take 2 minutes on TPMS display.
• It should be noted that if you rotate the tyres or replace the sensor on your
vehicle, you MUST re-program the receiver unit inside otherwise it will consider
the sensor is on a different wheel location.
• At a time, only one tyre can be swapped with spare wheel and then follow the
learning procedure
• If more than one tyre needs to be learned, all the 5 tyres are to be learned as
per the learning spare wheel procedure mentioned in the manual.

Description
The tyres fitted in Scorpio are radial tubeless tyres and with a suitable wheel disc.

In the tyre P 235/75 R 16 - The 215 is the width of the tyre in mm at the designated
air pressure and load. The / 75 is the aspect ratio of the tyre. (Ratio between the
height and width here the height is 0.75 times the width

The tyres play a very important and vital role in the vehicle handling and ride
characteristic. Hence it is advised that any change not as per the specification have to
be done with caution.

The air pressure maintained has a direct influence on the fuel average obtained,
braking and also on ride characteristic. Hence it is imperative that the tyre pressure
be maintained as per specification. The tyre specified with the specified air pressure
gives these tyres a safe speed of 180 Km/hr

Care of the system –


The tyre is one of the most abused components hence maintaining the tyre is of
utmost importance.

The recommended tyre pressures are given below:

235/70 R16
Front Rear

Up to 5 persons + 40 Kg 2.2 bar / 32 psi 2.2 bar / 32 psi


load

235/70 R16
Front Rear

More than 5 person 2.2 bar / 32 psi 2.2 bar /32 psi

The tyre pressure should be checked once in a fortnight. (Once a week during
summers). The tyre pressures should always be checked & corrected in cold
condition. The valve should be always covered with the valve cover. An opened
valve can have the valve needle stuck in a partial position causing the tyre to bleed
during operation..

The tyre pressure specified can cater to continuous high-speed performance. Hence it
is not advisable to increase the tyre pressure before going on a high speed run.

The practice of keeping the tyre pressure lower in summer is actually detrimental
to the tyre. To understand that let us examine what happens – if lower pressure is
kept. Then the sidewall flexing is going to be more hence the heat generation will
also be higher which will result in a faster increase in tyre pressure. So the wear
rate is going to be higher.
Similarly the practice of bleeding the tyre pressure to reduce the pressure after a
long run can cause the sidewall to crack and in a worst scenario sidewall bulging.

Before going on a long drive it is a good practice to remove the stones/pebbles


trapped in the treads. The probability of a puncture due to stone trapped and
digging through the crown once it gets heated up is reduced.

It should also be kept in mind that a radial tyre with higher pressure is more prone
to burst under impact from stone at high speed or kerb impact. Lower air pressure
results in higher sidewall flexing and drastically increases the chance of sidewall
damage / cut in bad roads.

Wheel balancing should be done at least every 20,000 KMs. It is compulsory to do a


balancing of the wheel after any puncture.

The tyre rotation should be carried out every 10,000 KMs.

Wheel alignment is recommended. If the wheel disc is having any deformation


particularly in the bead seating area then do not wait until the mileage has covered-
get it balanced.) In case of abnormal tyre wear refer to the Trouble shooting section
and take the corrective action suggested.

The grooves in the tyre are used to pump out the water between the road and the
tyre. In case the water is not pumped out the tyre will ride on water. Since the
coefficient of friction of water is very low that will result a sliding action. Obviously
the amount of water which the tyre can pump out between the ground and the tyre
will depend on the depth of the groove which is acting as a channel. The tyre
manufacturers recommend that a minimum tread depth of 1.6 mm should be present.

Once the tread depth is less than 1.6 mm it is recommended to replace the tyres. I t is
not advisable to retread the tyre.
Any kind of lubricant on the tyre is detrimental as it promotes degradation of rubber
and also increases the chance of hardening. Normally this happens when a mechanics
rubs the spare oil or grease on to the sidewall of the tyre.

Tyre Rotation –

1. Check & ensure tyre pressure at 2.2 bars / 32 psi in all five wheels.

2. Rotate ( swap the positions ) the wheels as shown in the diagram above

• Driver side rear goes to Driver side front position.


• Driver side front wheel goes to Co-Driver side rear position.
• Co-Driver side rear wheel goes to spare wheel position.
• Spare wheel goes to Co-Driver side front position.
• Co-Driver side front wheel goes to Driver side rear position.

In case the vehicle reports for wheel wobbling then the sequence of balancing &
rotation should be as follows:
Important: Before going ahead with the procedure; do road tests and at that time:-
Please remember that the road shocks can come to the steering wheel while going
over rough or uneven patch.
The important point is that after the road shock is over then it should not continue to
vibrate.

Preliminary Stage:

Mark each tyre assembly position with respect to the hub/ axle shaft.
Balance all the tyre and place it back it each wheel in the same position. (Tyre
pressure for all wheel-32psi)
Now follow the sequence of Stage A, Stage B, Stage C. Road test after each stage:

In Car Repairs –
The tyres should be removed and then only be attended for puncture or damage.

For removal of the tyre from the vehicle the jacking points are:

For 2WD Front- to be supported on the chassis, behind the lower arm just below the
first outrigger.

For 4WD Front -Behind the lower arm just below the first outrigger. While locating
the jack or the locating for the 2-post lift please ensure that it does not touch the
torsion bar. (It can cause the torsion bar to bend.)

For the rear wheels: below the axle.

Never go under the vehicle when it is jacked up. This jack is meant for only raising
the wheel. For any under body work/inspection support the vehicle on vehicle
stands.

If the vehicle is run with severely under inflated tyres – the vehicle stability may be
affected. A run flat wheel can also damage the wheel disc- besides literally shredding
the tyre.

Removal & Refitment of the tyre –

It is recommended that the tyre removal and re-fitment on the wheel disc be done
in a tyre specialist shop where the tyre fitting machines are available. The
advantage of the machine over the conventional method is that the damage to the
beading area is totally avoided.

In absence of the machine; ensure that:

No sharp tools are inserted while removing the tyre.


No sharp tools/ screwdriver is used while fitting the tyre.
While refitting the tyre the use of powder between the tube & the tyre is
recommended

It is recommended that the tyre be inflated to a pressure of 40 PSI. This will ensure
that the bead is locked in properly and also in centralizing. Then later reduce the
pressure to the recommended pressure.

Removal & Refitment of the spare wheel from the vehicle –

Remove the covering on the rear and


using the wheel spanner lower the spare
wheel

Lower the wheel on to the ground and


take off the locating tang from the disc.

The fitment of the old tyre to the spare


wheel carrier is the reverse of the above
procedure
While fitting the tyre on to the axle
ensure that

- The bolt holes in disc are not oblong.


- The threads of the bolt are not having
dirt – neither is there dirt/ mud in the
nut. (Generally while removing a
wheel the nuts are left in the ground
collecting dirt/mud. It is a better
practice to keep the removed nuts on
vehicle.

While tightening the wheel nut tighten in


diagonally opposite order to each other.

Failure to do so can cause vibration of


the steering wheel at high speed.

Paint application

Surface preparation

Proper surface preparation is the key to top quality body panel refinishing. Even if it is
sometimes long, sanding with the adequate abrasives of suitable material and properly
trained personnel will ensure a quality result. The importance of selecting the right
grit is a must. If unsuitable grit is used then will cause damage impossible to hide. For
example a 40 grit causes very deep scratched – do not ever use this grit.

Always clean the panel surface with a wax and grease removal solution and then wipe
the surface with a lint free rag before applying primer or paint. Cleaning will also
remove any residual silicone from the painted surface.

Body putty that is procured from any major supplier is recommended. If synthetic
body filler is to be used then it should be a quality product.

Primer

The type of primer to be used is dependent on the condition of the panel surface. Bare
metal should be primed with epoxy – base. A sealant is recommended when applying a
second color coat over an existing color coat. With certain colors sealants are also
important in preventing bleed through.

Base/ Color coat

Base color coat paint finishes must be applied in a clean envoirement. Top loader guns
are recommended for applying the base / color cat paint.

Base / color coat paint should be reduced/ thinned and applied to the manufacturers
suggestion. Please refer to the manufacturer suggestion.

Basecoat/ Clearcoat

Basecoat/ Clearcoat application is a two stage process. The Basecoat is applied over
the final primer coat. The Clearcoat is then applied over the Basecoat. The Clearcoat
provides the paint finish with a high gloss and increased durability

The work areas should be well ventilated for application of Basecoat and Clearcoat
paint. More particularly when applying the Clearcoat paint.

Buffing & polishing

Minor paint defects in Basecoat/ Clearcoat can frequently be removed by light


sanding, buffing & polishing. Wet sand the defect with 600 grit soaked in mineral
spirits.

Buff the surface area with fine grade buffing compound. Finish the repair with quality
polishing compound to blend and restore the gloss.
