It ensures that no condensate water will be occurred on the pressure-sensitive component in case
suitable method is adopted to install the sensor on vehicle (obtain pressure from intake manifold, slope
pressure connection tube downward etc.).
The drilling hole and fixing on the intake manifold must be conducted according to supplier drawing in
order to ensure long-term seal and protect against corrosion of medium.
Besides the impact from the joints of part and component, reliable contact of joint’s electrical connection
is related to the material mass and dimensional accuracy of the joint on harness.
● Caution for service: high-pressure air is prohibited to impact vacuum component during service;
check if output voltage and current are normal during replacement of sensor in case fault is found.

that of engine’s normal vibration signal, ECU can distinguish knock and non-knock signal after
processing the signal from knock sensor.
● General fault reason: corrosion on sensor due to long-time contacting with various liquids such as
like lubricant, coolant, brake fluid and water etc.
● Simple measuring method: (remove joint) Turn multimeter to Ohm position. Connect two probes to
sensor’s pin 1#,2# and 1#, 3# respectively and its resistance value shall be more than 1MΩ under
normal temperature. Turn the multimeter to mV position, use a small hammer taping around knock
sensor and a voltage signal shall be output now.
6.1 Function:
The electronic throttle body can open or close throttle valve automatically according to driver’s opinion
on stepping on accelerator pedal to make engine operating under corresponding working condition. The
electronic throttle cancels the traditional throttle cable and the opening of throttle is controlled by ECU
according to signal of accelerator pedal and other signals (e.g. air conditioner, power steering, motoring
and gear shifting etc.) through the step motor inside electronic throttle body. The traditional idle by-pass
and idle step motor are canceled. Additionally, the electronic throttle body has throttle position sensor
used to feedback opening of throttle. This throttle position sensor is different from ordinary throttle
position sensor and 2 sets of throttle position sensors are set up inside the electronic throttle body to
monitor reasonability of its signal. If one signal fails, ECU can use the other set of signal to continue
work.

magnetic field will be formed and the rotor made of permanent magnet will rotate toward a definite
direction. The principle is just a DC micro-motor.
The motor drives a set of particular gear reduction mechanism and a bidirectional spring. When system
is powered off, this mechanism can ensure the opening of throttle’s valve plate keeping at a safe position
beyond idle but not too high and ensure vehicle can continue to work. If engine’s electrical control
system enters into this fault mode, the valve plate of electronic throttle body will no longer take action
when stepping on accelerator pedal.

output voltage
The operation of oxygen sensor is realized by changing the concentration difference of oxygen ion
between inside and outside of sensing ceramic tube into voltage signal to output. When temperature of
sensing ceramic tube reaches 350℃, it will get characteristic of solid electrolyte. Due to particularity of its
material, the oxygen ion can pass through ceramic tube freely. By this characteristic, concentration
difference can be changed into potential difference and forms an electric signal to be output. If
concentration of gas mixture is relatively high, the concentration difference of oxygen ion between inside
and outside of ceramic tube and the potential difference will be high, and a lot of oxygen ion will move to
outside from inside and output voltage will be relatively high (approximate to 800mV-1,000mV); if
concentration of gas mixture is thin, the concentration difference of oxygen ion between inside and
outside of ceramic tube and the potential difference will be relatively low, only a few oxygen ion will move
from inside to outside and output voltage will be low (approximate to 100mV). The signal voltage will
change around theoretically equivalent air-fuel ratio (λ=1). See above figure.

Oxygen sensor has cables. The other end of cable is electric joint. All the oxygen sensor’s electric joints
produced by our company have 4 pins:
● Do not improperly heat the metallic cable-holding ring aside oxygen sensor. Particularly after engine
stopped.
● Do not use cleaning fluid, oily liquid or volatile solid on the connector of oxygen sensor.
1. Humid vapor come into inside of sensor, temperature changes suddenly and probe is broken.
Cautions for service: forbid using cleaning fluid, oily liquid or volatile solid on oxygen sensor during
service.
1. (Remove joint) Turn multimeter to Ohm position. Connect two probes to sensor’s pin 1# (white)
and 2# (white) respectively and its resistance value shall be 1~6Ω under normal temperature.
2. (Connect joint) Under idle speed condition, when oxygen sensor reaches its working
temperature of 350℃, turn multimeter to DC Volt position, connect two probes to sensor’s pin
3# (gray) and 4# (black) respectively and voltage shall be quickly fluctuating at 0.1~0.9V at
present.

8. Fuel Pump Assembly
The pump and motor shall be installed on the same shaft and enclosed in the same housing. The
gasoline is sufficiently filled around pump and motor in housing and used for eliminating heat and
lubrication. The battery supplies power to electric fuel pump through fuel pump relay and the relay can
switch on circuit of electric fuel pump only if engine is started or operating. When engine is stopped due
to accident, fuel pump will stop operation automatically.
The maximum output pressure of electric fuel pump is subject to relief valve and it is between
450~650kPa. Because this system adopts non-oil-return system, the pressure of whole fuel system is
subject to fuel pressure adjustor. Generally, it is about 400kPa.
According to the requirement of the engine, the electric fuel pump has various flows. For convenience of
production, the EKP13 series of electric fuel pumps with identical structure adjust rotating speed of the
motor through adjusting turn number of coil to adjust flow. So, electric fuel pump for one vehicle model
cannot be used to other vehicle models arbitrarily.

8.4 Cautions for Installation
The EKP13 series of electric fuel pump is only applicable for fuel tank. The filter screen of oil inlet agreed
by customers or that mesh dimension is not greater than 60µ shall be installed during installation of fuel
pump. The oil ejected from vent hole shall not be ejected into the filter screen of oil inlet, fuel pump
bracket or oil tank wall. Moving fuel pump shall be careful. Firstly, protect filter screen from load and
impact. Fuel pump shall be taken out from plastic package carefully only if it is going to be installed.
Protective cover shall be taken away only if fuel pump is going to be installed immediately. Do not take
away filter screen of oil inlet because foreign bodies will enter into fuel pump’s oil inlet or filter screen
may cause damage on fuel pump.
1. According to requirement of engine, electric fuel pump can have different flows. The fuel pumps
with identical appearance and supposed to fit may be not suitable. The part No. of fuel pump
adopted in service must conform to original and cannot use wrong type.
2. For preventing unexpected damage on fuel pump, do not operate under dry state;
3. In case it is necessary to replace fuel pump, please take care of the cleaning of fuel tank and
pipeline and the changing of fuel filter.
1. (Remove joint) Turn multimeter to Ohm position, connect two probes to both pins of fuel pump
respectively, and measure internal resistance. The resistance value shall not be 0 or ∞ (i.e. not
in short circuit and circuit break conditions).
2. (Connect joint) Connect fuel pressure gauge at feed pipe, start engine, observe if fuel pump is
operating; if no operation, check if pin “+” has supply voltage; if operating, check if fuel pressure
is around 400kPa under idle condition.

9.3 Technical Characteristics and Parameters
Value
Parameter Unit
Min. Typical Max.
Working Condition (Pressure Difference) 350 kPa
Resistance of Fuel Injector under 20℃ 11 16 Ω
Acceptable Fuel:
Fuel injector can use the fuel complying with GB 17930-1999 Vehicle Unleaded Gasoline of China
National Standard and the GWKB 1-1999 Control Standard on Hazardous Substance of Vehicle
Gasoline of National Environmental Protection Standard only, also clearing agent is required to be added
into gasoline. Particularly, gasoline will deteriorate if being stored too long. Also, the taxis using dual-fuel
engine for LPG & gasoline always use LPG as fuel but using gasoline for startup, it makes daily
consumption of gasoline very low. But the fuel tank’s temperature is extremely high due to long-time
operation of fuel pump. If gasoline is stored in the fuel tank of such a vehicle, it will deteriorate by
oxidation easily and may cause jam even damage to fuel injector.
● For convenience of installation, suggest painting clean non-silicon lubricant on the surface of upside
O-ring connecting with fuel distribution pipe. Do not make lubricant contaminate inside and orifice of
fuel injector.
● Install fuel injector on its base vertically and fix fuel injector on base with clamp. Note:
① Clamp of fuel injector falls into two types according to positioning method: axial and radial
positioning clamp. Misapplication shall be avoided.
② For installation of axial positioned fuel injector, ensure the bayonet in middle of clamp being
snapped into slot of fuel injector completely and the slots on both sides of clamp being snapped
into external jacket of fuel injector base.
③ The fuel injector with axial and radial positioning requirements both shall use axial-radial
positioning clamp when installing, also the positioning block and the locating pin of fuel injector
base shall be positioned in corresponding slots on positioning clamp respectively.
④ In case fuel injector has two slots, do not snap into wrong location. Please refer to original
installation position.
● Install fuel injector by hand and forbid using tools like hammer to knock fuel injector.
● When remove and reinstall fuel injector, O-ring must be replaced. At present, sealing face of fuel
injector shall not be hurt.
20
● Supporting washer of O-ring cannot be pulled out from fuel injector. Damage to oil inlet of fuel
injector, O-ring, support ring, orifice plate and electric connector shall be avoided during installation.
If damaged, it is prohibited to be used.
● After complete installation of fuel injector, leakage test for fuel distribution pipe assembly shall be
carried out. The one with no leakage will be accepted.
● Failure part shall be removed by hand. First, remove clamp of fuel injector, then pull out fuel injector
from its base. Cleanness of fuel injector base shall be ensured after removal to avoid contamination.
● General fault reason: fuel injector fails due to lack of maintenance caused colloid accumulation
inside fuel injector.
(Remove joint) Turn multimeter to Ohm position, connect two probes to fuel injector’s two pins and its
rated resistance shall be 11~16Ω at 20℃.
Suggestion: use special cleaning & analysis instrument to clean and analyze fuel injector periodically.

Double spark ignition coil
Nominal Voltage 14 V
● Fault cause: damage due to over current and external force, etc.
● Cautions for service: forbid using “short circuit method” to test ignition function during service in
order to avoid damage on electronic controller.
● Simple measuring method:(Remove joint) Turn multimeter to Ohm position, connect two probes to
primary coil’s two pins and its resistance value shall be 0.42-0.58Ω at 20℃; And the resistance value of
secondary coil shall be 11.2-14.8kΩ.

11. Spark Plug
The spark plug has a very tough working condition. It endures impact of high pressure and temperature.
Therefore it is a vulnerable part.
11.4 Judge If Vehicle Condition Match to Spark Plug’s Type by Spark Plug’s Color
23
Yellow, brown Normal Gas mixture’s ignition condition is normal
Black, with carbon deposit Carbon deposit Check if spark plug’s type is matched, change to the
spark plug with lower thermal value (slow radiating
speed)
Black, with stain Smoked If fuel injector nozzle is dirty, clean it.
If fuel-gas mixing ratio is too high, dilute it.
If high-voltage power is short, check ignition coil and
etc.
Black, with oil stain Lubricant ignited Check sealing condition of seal ring and if cylinder
wall has scratch, etc.
Off-white Over heat Check if spark plug’s type is matched, change to the
spark plug with higher thermal value (fast radiating
speed)
Due to reduction of spark plug’s ignition performance, fuel consumption is increased and power is
reduced. Unconsciously, economic loss caused by over-consumed fuel every day can be accumulated
to pay off more than hundred of new spark plug. Overtime operation of spark plug is bad for engine’s
working condition and may cause some damages to engine.
Spark plug’s electrode gap shall be 0.7~0.9mm. If electrode gap is too small, breakdown voltage will be
reduced and spark intensity will be weakened; if electrode gap is too big, voltage required by spark plug
will be raised to cause misfire, particularly when ignition coil is aged and ignition system has unfavorable
maintenance.
Common faults of spark plug including tightness drops, air leakage exists and smoked mark is at
leakage location. The above faults can be judged and check by sealing test and spark over test. The
leakage test and spark over test can be executed on the clean tester for both spark plug.
It shall be pointed out that some drivers and maintenance staff remove spark plug from engine and place
it on cylinder cover and check if it is faulty with high-voltage power on vehicle, this method is unscientific.
Because spark plug’s electrode is under an atmosphere pressure in this test, but spark plug is under the
air pressure of more than 800kPa when it is working. So, spark plug taking jump-spark under
atmosphere condition is not equivalent to that it can take jump-spark reliably under high pressure
condition in cylinder.
24
To clean carbon deposit is required in spark plug’s service life when vehicle has been driven for 10~15
thousand km and spark plug’s gap needs to be adjusted. When cylinder temperature is rising, increase
electrode gap properly, i.e. turn up it in summer and turn down it in winter. When concentration of gas
mixture is high, turn up electrode gap properly and turn it down if in reverse. Turn down electrode gap in
plain area and turn it up in plateau area properly.
12.1 Function:
Carbon canister solenoid valve is a device which lets fuel steam in fuel tank enter cylinder for flaming
through control of ECU. ECU realizes opening and closing of solenoid valve through duty cycle control
on solenoid.

12.4 Cautions for Installation
Connection of carbon canister control valve to carbon canister and intake manifold are shown in the
installation diagram above.
● In order to avoid transfer of solid-borne sound, it is recommended that the carbon canister control
valve shall be hung on hose.
● Proper measures such as filtration and purification must be used to prevent foreign bodies like
particle entering carbon canister control valve. Suggest installing a corresponding protective cleaner
(mesh dimension <50µm) on exit of carbon canister.
General fault reason: corrosion or bad tightness causing by foreign bodies enter valve interior.
● Cautions for Service:Air flow direction must conform to provisions during installation;
2. Check carbon canister’s condition when control valve is found failed due to black particles
inside valve body and need to be changed;Avoid liquids like water and oil entering into valve
during service;In order to avoid transfer of solid-borne sound, it is recommended that the
carbon canister control valve shall be hung on hose.● Simple measuring method:(Remove
joint) Turn multimeter to Ohm position, connect two probes to two pins of carbon canister control valve
and its rated resistance value shall be 26±4 Ω under 20℃.
13.1 Functions:
Electronic accelerator pedal cancels traditional accelerator drawing cables and feeds back position of
accelerator pedal to ECU through electronic signal. ECU controls action of electronic throttle through
calculation. This pedal integrates 2 sets of Hall sensors and ECU will compare and analyze these two
signals. If one signal is unreasonable, the other signal will be used timely and fault indicator will be
lightened.
26
13.3 Detection:
The relationship between two signals of accelerator pedals is that the voltage of signal 1 is 2 times signal
voltage. On idle position, signal 1’s voltage is 4.59V and signal 2’s voltage is 4.30V. The voltages will get
minimum value when pedal is in the middle position and get maximum value when pedal is at both ends.
14.1 Function:
The 3-way catalytic converter can convert the hazardous gas in exhaust gas into harmless gas like CO2
and H2O through chemical reaction. It has maximum conversion efficiency at 300~800℃. The
conversion efficiency is very bad if the temperature is less than this temperature and may burn up itself if
the temperature is higher than this temperature. The 3-way catalytic converter must show better
conversion efficiency when oxygen sensor is working. There are several protective modes for 3-way
catalytic convertor in control strategy of ECU. The 3-way catalytic converter will be protected through
adjustment of air-gas ratio and ignition advance angle.
15.1 Functions:
In order to cool engine system and condenser after turning on air conditioner, fan control is influenced by
the ECU signal transmitted by water temperature sensor. The fan will operate if water temperature is
high (higher threshold set by ECU) and be started with low speed when turning on air conditioner if water
temperature is low (lower than threshold set by ECU).
15.2 Composition:
DC double fans (high and low variable speed).

Fan’s problem;
15.5 Troubleshoot
Firstly confirm if fault is caused by high-speed fan system or low-speed fan system. If it is caused by fan
control system, diagnostic apparatus can be used to confirm fault point and determine if control line is
short circuit or broken.
Fault symptom: water temperature of engine will rise and refrigeration of air conditioner will turn bad if
fan failed.
3. Engine’s coolant temperature is higher than 100.5℃, time delay for 60s;
4. Engine’s coolant temperature is higher than 70.5℃, time delay for 60s;

16. Dual-Brake Pedal Position Sensor
16.1 Function:
The brake switch sends brake signal to ECU.
Composition: dual-brake switch is installed on the bracket of the brake pedal with two independent
switches inside.
Installation requirement: assembly is installed on pedal and switch is equipped with thread adjusting
mechanism to adjust switch’s stroke and adjust brake switch’s effective stroke.

Long fire(30) supply (15)
17.1 Function:
Clutch position switch provides clutch position signal to ECU, but this signal just can distinguish clutch’s
separation and combination position.
29
Position of clutch switch
18. Air Conditioner Control
ECU controls operation of air conditioner’s compressor by receiving air conditioning signal of A/C switch.
Meanwhile, ECU receives signals from air conditioner’s high/low pressure switch and ensures security of
air conditioning system. When A/C switch sends signal to ECU through high/low pressure switch, ECU
will not receive A/C signal if low pressure switch is opened. In that way, the compressor will not work. If
the pressure on the air conditioning system is too high, high pressure switch is opened and make A/C
signal will not be sent to ECU, this will make ECU switch off compressor immediately. When system
pressure is normal or slightly higher (medium pressure), medium pressure switch will be closed. This will
make ECU control fan operate with high speed immediately to ensure system pressure is kept in normal
range.
A/C switch

Chapter 2 Basic Diagnosis Principle for Electronic Injection
System
Electronic controls unit constantly monitors sensors, actuators, relevant circuits, fault indicator lamps
and battery voltage etc., even itself. It also detects reliability of sensor’s output signal, actuator’s driving
signal and internal signals (e.g. close-loop control of oxygen, knock control, idle speed control and
battery voltage control). Once it finds a link fails or a signal value is unreliable, electronic control unit will
set up fault information record in the fault memory of RAM. Fault information record is stored in form of
fault code and is displayed according to fault’s occurrence sequence.
The fault can be divided into “steady-state fault” and “accidental fault” (e.g. caused by short-time break
on harness or connector has bad contact) according to its frequency of occurrence.
2. Fault Status
If duration of a detected fault is beyond set stabilizing time for the first time, ECU will be sure this is a
stable fault and store it as “steady-state fault”. If this fault disappears, it will be stored as “accidental fault”
and “non-existent”. If this fault is detected again, it is “accidental fault” yet but the “existing” historical fault
will not influence normal operation of engine.
3. Fault Type
Circuit break (ECU will identify the break fault at input end as short circuit of input end to power supply’s
positive pole or that on ground when input stage has pull-up or –down resistance)
Signal unreliable
For each detected fault, an independent value (Hz) of frequency counter will be set up.
The time for the fault information record keeping on being stored in memory after disappearance of
detected fault (fault being eliminated) is subject to the value (Hz) of frequency counter.
When detect a fault for the first time, Hz will be set to initial value of 40. If fault condition is not changed,
this value will be always kept.
Once detected fault has disappeared and holding for a definite time, Hz will be reduced by 1 once after
every successful startup (rotating speed beyond that when startup is finished) of engine. At present,
ECU will consider this fault has disappeared but fault information record will still exit.
31
If fault (e.g. caused by bad contact) appears and disappears frequently, Hz will be added by 1 but not
beyond the set upper limit value of 100.
If Hz value is reduced to 0, the fault information record in this fault memory will be cleared completely
5. Limp Home
For some detected important fault, when its duration beyond set stabilizing time, ECU will adopt proper
software countermeasures such as close some control functions like close-loop control of oxygen sensor
and etc, set up alternative value for those data considered being unreliable etc. At present, even though
engine’s working condition is relatively bad, but vehicle can be driven yet. The purpose for this action is
to drive vehicle home or to service station constrainedly to avoid embarrassment of vehicle being shut
down in high-way or countryside. Once detected fault has disappeared and Hz value has dropped below
40, normal data will be recovered and to be used again.
6. Fault Alarm
In electronic control system, when fault occurs in some important parts such as ECU, absolute pressure
sensor of intake manifold, throttle valve position sensor, coolant temperature sensor, knock sensor,
oxygen sensor, phase sensor, fuel injector, idle actuator, two driving poles of step motors, carbon
canister control value and fan relay, corresponding fault bit will be set and ECU will lighten fault indicator
lamp to alarm until this fault bit being reset.
Fault information record can be invoked from ECU by using fault diagnostic tester. If fault is related to
function of regulator for fuel-air mixture ratio, engine must be operated for 4 minutes at least to read out
fault information record. Particularly for fault of oxygen sensor, data must be detected after engine is
operated to be warm.
When fault is cleared, fault information record in memory shall also be cleared. Fault code can be
cleared through the following several ways:
When Hz value of frequency counter in ECU reaches 0, fault information record in fault memory will be
cleared automatically.
32
Use diagnostic tester to clear fault information record through instruction “reset fault memory”.
Remove joint of ECU or remove harness of battery to clear fault information record in external RAM.
9. Faultshooting
After fault information record is obtained through above methods, we just know probable position where
fault occurred, this doesn’t mean fault has been found. So, the reason of triggering fault information may
lie in damage of electrical component (e.g. sensor or actuator or ECU, etc.) or breakage of wires, may lie
in short circuit of wires to ground or to battery’s positive pole, even mechanical fault.
The fault is intrinsic. Externally presented results of internal fault are various symptoms. When symptom
is found, it firstly need to check if there is fault information record by using fault diagnostic tester or
according to flicker code and eliminate relevant fault information. Then search fault according to engine’s
symptom.

Note: This vehicle model adopts electronic throttle valve, cancels step motor originally used and the
functions of ordinary throttle valve body completed by step motor is wholly accomplished by throttle
valve driving motor. Electronic throttle valve cannot be repaired but throttle valve body has very low fault
rate and it just can be treated by changing assembly if damaged.
Particular Note: maintenance station cannot remove and repair electronic throttle valve body,
meanwhile self-learning of valve body shall be carried out after replacement of electronic throttle valve
body and otherwise engine may operate at unstable idle speed. Please refer to Chapter about electronic
throttle valve for specific learning plan. The maintenance of throttle valve body is similar to that of
common valve bodies.

surface of the sensor and engine body during removal and installation of knock sensor, no additional
shim is allowed to be added. The damage of this sensor will bring big influence on engine’s economy
and exhaust. Engine’s electric control system will lock ignition advance angle at a fixed ignition angle if
knock sensor is damaged, this will cause reduction of engine’s acceleration ability, also economy and
exhaust will be greatly influenced.

12. Steps for Fault Diagnosis According to Engine Symptom
12.1 Primary inspection shall be conducted at first before steps for fault diagnosis
according to engine symptom.
(1) Confirm no abnormal condition on ECU and fault indication lamp (or ECP lamp) (Vehicle model
which isn’t equipped with fault indication lamp is exempted.)
(2) Confirm no fault information record by inspecting through fault diagnostic tester.
(3) Check heat idle data of electronic control system through fault diagnostic tester and confirm all of
them are in normal range.

Intake pressure
(4) Confirm if the fault complained by owner is existing and check exact position of symptom. It shall be
noticed that the information provided by owner is very important, particularly the fault symptom,
occurrence time, position and other symptoms which is never occurred. To obtain these information
can help technologist diagnose symptom quickly and improve speed and quality of maintenance.
Check if there is fracture and twist on vacuum pipeline and if connection is correct.
53
Check if pipeline is jammed.
Check if the sealing face between throttle valve body and intake manifold is fine.
Check if high voltage line of ignition system is fractured, aged and correctly wired.

is air leakage of system. If the volume of air leakage is too big and beyond ECU’s control range, idle
speed will turn up and down frequently.

reliability and very low fault rate. Due to particularity road condition in China and impact of operating
environment, the part between valve plate and valve body of electronic throttle valve is easy to be
jammed and this will obstruct air entering engine and causing misfire of engine easily.

13. Safety Cautions for System Maintenance
13.1 Safety Cautions for Diagnosis and Maintenance of Electronic Gasoline Injection
Control System
(1) Requirement on Removal & Assemble of Electronic Control Unit (ECU):
Controller shall be removed before conducting electric welding and baking paint;
Ignition switch must be turn to “OFF” position during removing of controller, meanwhile disconnect
connection between battery and system to avoid damage on engine’s electronic unit during removal;
Do not disconnect power cable from battery during operation of engine or electric appliance system;
Do not use the equipment with large current like fast charger to start engine directly;
(2) Requirement on Cleaning: Before operating fuel supply system and fuel injection system,
the following regulations shall be complied carefully:
Removed parts shall be placed at clean place and properly covered and do not use the cloth (cotton
fabric, gauze) whose fiber is easy to be brushed off;
(3) Connection and disconnection for all connectors of harness and diagnostic fault tester shall
be conducted after ignition switch is shut down;
Correctness of connection sequence and mode for detection wiring must be assured when conducting
measurement of power supply voltage or grounding wire earthing to electronic control system;
Disconnecting power supply cable or grounding wire of battery from system and disconnecting wire joint
of electronic control unit (ECU) will make the information about diagnosis and self-learning stored in
electronic control unit (ECU) lost (information retention time of electronic control unit mounted on
different vehicle models after power-off is different too).
(4) Cautions for Maintenance Fuel Supply System (Fuel Supply Pipeline, Fuel Pump and Fuel
Injection System)
When remove and install fuel pump on the fuel tank filled with fuel, it shall be noticed that:
Before operation, the position around open end of fuel tank shall prepare materials which can absorb a
lot of effused fuel in time;
Thoroughly clean connected parts and periphery of connectors before loosening this part;
For avoiding loosened part to spray fuel, cloth shall be placed around connected part;
If disassembled parts and components cannot be repaired or taken other treatment timely, they shall be
stored properly;
Spare parts shall be taken out from package after being confirmed to be installed and do not use the
spare part without package or its package is worn heavily;
80
Do not break the O-ring on both ends of fuel injector when installing fuel injector and the O-ring shall be
painted with a little lubricant for convenience of installation.
Do not use compressed air and don’t remove vehicle as much as possible after removal of fuel and fuel
supply system.
In order to avoid injury to technologist and damage to fuel injection and ignition device, it shall notice
that:
Forbid disconnect ignition harness when engine is operating or under start speed, do not use the method
that disconnect ignition cable to test ignition and judge if engine has the condition that single cylinder is
working abnormally;
If engine is driven by starter but not by itself, for example in the application that inspect engine’s cylinder
pressure and etc., you need to disconnect wire joint from engine’s tachometer and camshaft (phase)
sensor, each sensor shall be connected properly after completion of relevant work and use diagnostic
tester special for Kylin to clear fault code in system;
When engine is running with high speed, do not touch gear train and rotating parts of engine by hands;
When engine reaches normal working temperature, water temperature and pressure of cooling system
will be very high. So service to engine’s cooling system shall be conducted after engine being shut down
if needed and cooling system being fully cooled;
When conducting service to engine’s fuel system, the operation shall be carried out when temperature of
engine casing is fully dropped if concerning maintenance to engine casing;
Do not touch engine cooling fan by hands anytime if system is charged normally because cooling fan is
possible to be started suddenly.
