General Informations
Toxic Substances
Many liquids and other substances used are poisonous, so care should be taken while handling the
same. It is also advisable to keep all the substances away from open wounds. These substances
include anti-freeze, brake fluid, fuel, windscreen washer additives, air conditioning refrigerant,
lubricants and various adhesives. These toxic substances are irritant to the skin, eyes, nose and throat.
They can cause burns and destroy ordinary protective clothing. Wear a suitable protective apron,
gloves and goggles. Do not breathe the mists. Make sure that the access to eye wash bottles, soap and
shower are readily available.
Instructions given by the manufacturer must be followed. The air conditioning system contains
refrigerant under high pressure. Severe personal injury may result due to improper service
procedures. Repairs should only be performed by a qualified service personnel. Avoid breathing the
refrigerant or refrigerant oil vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate the eyes, nose and throat. Wear
suitable protective gloves and goggles for eye protection while servicing the air conditioning
refrigerant system. If eye contact occurs, immediately seek medical attention.
A number of renowned products are recommended in this manual for use during maintenance and
repair work. They should be available locally at garage equipment suppliers. If there is any problem in
obtaining the supplies, contact the company for advice and the nearest dealer. Cleanliness should be
observed where necessary, for example disposable paper covering benches should be dispensed from
applicators and secondary containers should be labeled appropriately.
Antifreeze
Antifreeze is an ethylene glycol base coolant, which is harmful if swallowed or inhaled. If swallowed,
drink two glasses of water and induce vomiting. If inhaled, move to fresh air area. Seek medical
attention immediately. Do not store in open or unmarked containers. Wash skin and clothing
thoroughly after coming in contact with ethylene glycol. Keep out of reach of children. To dispose the
glycol base coolant properly, contact your dealer or government agency for the location of collection
center in your area. Do not open a cooling system when the engine is at operating temperature or hot
under pressure, which may result in personal injury. These products should not be used in any cooling
or industrial water system that is connected or linked to general, food preparation or drinking water
supplies.

Asbestos
Breathing asbestos dust may cause lung problems or in some cases, cancer. Asbestos is used in brake
& clutch linings, transmission brake bands and gaskets. The use of drum cleaning units, vacuum
cleaning or damp wiping is preferred. Asbestos dust waste should be dampened first, and placed in a
sealed container and marked for safe disposal. If any cutting or drilling is attempted on materials
containing asbestos the item should be dampened and only hand tools or low speed power tools are
to be used.
Chemical Materials
Chemical materials such as solvents, sealers, adhesives, paints, resin foams, battery acids, antifreeze,
brake fluids, fuels, oils and grease should always be stored and handled with care. They may be
poisonous, harmful, acidic or highly flammable and give rise to harmful vapors and dust. The effects of
excessive exposure to chemicals may be immediate or delayed, temporary or permanent, life
threatening or may decrease life expectancy.
These materials are varied and the manufacturer‘s instructions must be followed. They may contain
solvents, resins or petroleum products. Skin and eye contact should be avoided. They should only be
sprayed in conditions of adequate ventilation and not in confined spaces.
Engine Oil
Prolonged and frequent contact with the engine or motor oil will result in removal of natural fats from
the skin, leading to dryness and irritation. An used engine oil contains potentially harmful
contaminants which may cause skin cancer. Adequate means of skin protection and washing facilities
should be provided.
Transmission Fluids
Transmission and power steering fluids contain additives which have the potential to cause irritation
or even skin disease when prolonged or repeated skin contact with the fluid occurs. These fluids are
used for vehicle initial fill and service purposes. Draw attention to the existence of Material Safety
Datasheets (MSDS's) for the fluids. These MSDS's contain detailed information on hazards and
appropriate controls.
This information is issued only for basic guideline. Fuel vapor is highly flammable, and in restricted
spaces it is highly explosive and poisonous. The vapor is heavier than air and will always fall to the
lowest level, which flows throughout the workshop by air current. Even a small spillage of fuel is very
dangerous. Always have fire extinguisher containing foam CO2 gas or powder close at hand while
handling fuel or dismantling fuel systems, and in areas where the fuel containers are stored.
• Always disconnect the vehicle battery before working on the fuel system.
• Avoid prolonged and frequent skin contact with oils, particularly engine oils.

Description
The 2.2-liter Turbocharged and intercooled common rail direct injected diesel engine with a bore 85
mm and stroke of 96 mm develop 88 KW(120 HP) at 4000 RPM and a torque of 290 Nm at 1800
RPM.
A variable geometry turbocharger controls the boost to 2.2 bars. The compressed air is cooled by the
charged intercooler which is mounted upstream of the turbocharger. The cooled air enters the inlet
manifold’s plenum and it enters the Aluminium cylinder head through the inlet valves having an
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 2ndring is taper faced. The 3rd is conformable Oil Ring.
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 molded dampener pulley.
The high pressure pump & camshaft are chain driven. There are two overhead camshafts (Inlet and
exhaust). The valves are actuated through HFF & RLA (hydraulic tappets). There are four valves per
cylinder. This ensures that the charge fill as well as the purging is optimum.

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 a Variable Geometry Turbocharger. This turbocharger helps in
maintaining a good power curve at low speeds also.
EGR: The following additional check points have to follow during scheduled maintenance.
• Check for any exhaust gas leakage through sealing faces, EGR pipe. Formation of any black soot
indicates leakage.

Working Principle of Exhaust Gas Recirculation –
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, altitude, 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 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

the labyrinth- 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 oil and vapor pressure goes to the cyclonic oil separator. Here
again the mixture is separated and oil drained back to the sump while the vapor is fed back to the air
suction pipe – in between the air cleaner and the turbocharger.

occurs during combustion. In addition, the cylinders, together with the piston rings, have a sliding and
sealing function.
Cylinder Head
The cylinder head is bolted on top of the cylinder block to
form the roof of the combustion chamber.
The cylinder head:
• Seals the top of the cylinder block.
• Holds the glow plugs, fuel rail and injectors.
• Provides seats, guides and ports for the intake and
exhaust valves.
• Holds the valve train
• Provides mountings for the intake and exhaust manifold.
Unlike the cylinder block, the head is made of aluminium alloy. The intake and exhaust manifolds are
mounted to the cylinder head against the valve ports. The top part of the cylinder head is designed such
that the rocker arm and other parts of the valve train can be mounted on it. The aluminium alloy gives
the head superior heat dissipating capability to that of the cast iron head. The coolant and oil passages
are incorporated in the head for cooling and lubrication purposes.
The cylinder head gasket forms the gas and watertight junction between the cylinder head and block. It
also offsets any minor irregularities in the mating surfaces. Thus the gasket is made up of flexible
material.

surface to increase pressure force). The three rings are mounted on the pistons at a phase difference of
120 dg. to each other. The piston cooling is by an oil jet mounted on the crankcase and on the main oil
gallery.
Connecting Rod
The connecting rod transfers the movement of the piston to
the crank pin on the crank shaft. A steel piston pin connects
the piston to the connecting rod. Since it is subjected to
severe alternating tensile, compressive and buckling loads.
Its “I” cross section gives the connecting rod the required
stiffness. The piston pin allows the piston to pivot the small
end of the connecting rod. The large end of the connecting
rod is connected to the crank shaft with a bearing cap. The
cap is very similar in design and function to the main
bearing caps.
These caps are lined with interlocked split bearing shells. These are cooled by oil supplied from the
crank case through the gallery drilled into the body of the connecting rod.
The connecting rods are usually made of heat treated steel and are drop forged. fracture split and
cannot be interchanged or direction interchange.
Crankshaft
The crankshaft changes up and down movement of the
pistons into the rotational motion needed to drive the
wheels of the vehicle. The crankshaft is mounted in the
engine block on U shaped supports that are cast into the
engine block assembly. The caps called main bearing caps
are bolted onto the supports to secure the crankshaft onto
the block. Between the crankshaft and its mounting
surfaces are bearings in which the crankshaft is held and is
able to spin. The main bearing surfaces are machined to be
exactly parallel to the crankshaft. For this reason, main
bearing caps must never be interchanged. The crankshaft transmits the torque via the flywheel to the
transmission. The crankshaft also drives the valve gear, oil pump, HPP, water pump and auxiliary
equipment like alternator, etc.
The crankshaft journals lie in one axis. They serve to support the crankshaft in the crankcase. The
crankpins are located on the circumference of the crankshaft. Oil bores provide a steady supply of oil to
the big end bearings from the lubricating system.
The crankshaft is subjected to a number of forces. The force of the piston creates bending and torsional
loads. Due to the engine operation the combustion forces are transmitted to the crankshaft unevenly.
This produces vibrations which affect the smooth running of the engine and may damage the crankshaft
in extreme cases. The crankshaft is dynamically balanced for this reason by removing material in the
balance weights.
The flywheel (Adapter ring), which is bolted to the crankshaft at the rear of the engine also helps to run
the engine smoothly by storing the potential energy. The torsional vibration dampers (also called
crankshaft pulley) at the other end of the crankshaft help in damping the torsional vibrations.
The bearing surfaces of the crank pins and the main journals are surface hardened and ground. The
crankshaft is held onto the journals by main bearings and caps. The main bearings are split circular
sleeves that wrap around the crankshaft main journals. The upper half usually has oil holes to lubricate
the inside surfaces. The upper bearings sit on the main support of the engine block, while the lower half
fits into the bearing cap. The wear surface is made of softer material when compared to the crankshaft.

This reduces friction and tends to mould itself around any uneven areas on the main journal. In case
wear occurs the bearing is affected.
The crankshaft tends to move back and forth. This is in addition to the rotary motion. This is prevented
by the thrust bearings. The thrust bearings have oil holes that facilitate lubrication of the journal.
Valves
The main function of the valve is opening and closing the
ports in the cylinder head during the exchange of gases. The
four valves per cylinder design is more precise and efficient.
Two inlet valves are bigger in diameter when compared to
the two exhaust valves. They are subjected to extremely
high pressure and temperatures. Although the inlet valves
are cooled by the intake air it still heats up to high
temperatures since it lies in the path of hot combustion
gases. The valves are solid and heat treated.
Valves are exposed to extreme mechanical stress, hence are “armoured” with hard metal alloys on the
stem and face. Collect grooves at the end of the stem provide grip to support the valve spring retainer.
A valve has the round head with tapered face that seals again the seat in the cylinder head. Because of
this construction it is sometime called mushroom valve or poppet valve.
The valve face is the contact point between the valve and its seat. Both these surfaces are machined to
form a tight seal when closed. Maximum contact is essential for better heat transfer.
The valve guides keep the valves in precise alignment in the cylinder head. They allow the valve stem to
go through the combustion chamber to the upper cylinder head area, where the valve springs are
mounted. The guides are soft alloy inserts that are pressed into the head.
The valve springs are responsible for closing the valve firmly on to the valve seat. This is installed on to
the cylinder head around the valve stem. The upper and lower spring seats prevent wear and keep the
spring in place.
When the valve moves it must seated firmly again the valve seat. There must not be any pressure on
the stem side of the valve. A small space is created between the step and the actuating device. This is
called valve clearance.
Camshaft
The camshaft controls the valve opening and closing events.
It is driven by the crankshaft through a chain connection.
The camshaft rotates at half the speed of the crankshaft to
maintain proper timing of the four cycle of combustion. The
opening and closing of the valves are done by lobes on the
camshaft. The engine has two camshafts one for operating
intake valves and the other for exhaust. The exhaust
camshaft is identified by the presence of a ring for the
purpose of operating a cam phase sensor.
The camshafts are forged from steel since they are subjected to high torsional stress. The timing of the
valve depends on the position of the camshaft and shape of the lobes on it.
The valve lift is the distance the valve is lifted off its seat when fully opened. This is determined by the
height of the cam lobe. The valve need enough lift to allow air to flow freely into the cylinder and for
exhaust gases to flow out of the cylinder, without interfering with piston or binding the spring.
The duration is the length of time the cam lobe keeps the valve open. it is measured in degrees of
camshaft rotation and is determined by the shape of the cam lobe.

The timing chain is tensioned using an auto tensioner. There is no need to constantly reset or service
the timing chain or the tensioner or the crankshaft sprocket. The camshaft sprocket bolted to the
camshaft is having mark which must be aligned appropriately during the assembly to maintain proper
valve timing. The auto tensioner has to be replaced compulsorily as per the recommended maintenance
schedule.
The intake air throttle allows more EGR gases to enter into
the engine even at low exhaust back pressure conditions, by
creating restriction to the fresh air flow.
Throttle opening and closing is on trolled by the Engine
Management System Electronic Control Unit (EMS ECU)
based on the amount of EGR flow and the back pressure of
exhaust gas.

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

Care of the System
The performance of the engine is dependent on ensuring that the following maintenance is carried out as per
schedule without fail.
Air filter element: Replace the air cleaner element every 30,000 miles under normal operating conditions.
Under highly dusty or polluting conditions, the air cleaner element should be replaced earlier.
In any case, replace air filter element as soon as the red band appears on the service indicator mounted on
the intake hose.
If the filter element is not replaced on time, the vehicle’s performance gets affected.
CAUTION
Under extremely dusty conditions early replacement of the air filter element may be required.
It should be noted that if the engine runs with a clogged air cleaner, then it will lead to the seepage of oil
from the turbocharger into the air intake system.
NOTICE
Ensure that only the recommended engine oil is used and the specified drain intervals are maintained.
Check for oil leaks in the air intake system and if traces are found check the oil separator system.

Description
Engine Cooling System ‐ Overview
Description and Operation
The cooling system is designed to ensure that all engine components are maintained at appropriate
temperatures under all driving conditions. The cooling system also helps the Heating, Ventilation and Air
Conditioning (HVAC) system to maintain desired temperature inside the cabin. The cooling method adopted
is closed loop, pressurized liquid and forced circulation type.
The cooling system primarily consists of the following components and sub‐ systems:
• Radiator • Primary shroud
• Degassing tank • Secondary shroud
• Pressure cap • Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) precooler
• Water pump • EGR cooler
• Viscous fan • Coolant hoses and clamps
• Thermostat • Engine coolant mixture
Water pump is of centrifugal type which pressurizes the coolant and circulates it throughout the system
circuit. Inside engine, coolant flows from wer pump to cylinder block and then to cylinder head.
In the main circuit, coolant flows from cylinder head to inlet side of thermostat. If temperature of coolant is
lower than specified limit, the thermostat valve remains closed, and coolant goes through the bypass hose to
water pump. Once coolant temperature increases beyond specified limit, the thermostat valve start opening
and coolant passes through the radiator.
Radiator is down flow, corrugated fin type. In radiator, coolant rejects heat to atmosphere there by becoming
cooler and is again fed to the water pump.
Pull type of viscous fan is placed behind the radiator core. Viscous fan drive engages or disengages depending
upon temperature of air reaching the bimetallic c on fan, after passing through radiator core. Between radiator

SUV/SC/DC L6 July 2012/Rev1
core and viscous fan, primary shroud is provided over which secondary shroud get snap‐fitted. Four condenser
seals are also provided to help air flow through core of heat exchangers.
In second auxiliary circuit, coolant is forced to flow from cylinder head to main EGR cooler and then to EGR
pre‐cooler. The coolant flowing through these coolers extract heat from exhaust gases and is again fed back to
water pump.
In third auxiliary circuit, coolant is forced to flow from cylinder block to engine oil cooler and then to cabin
heater. Inside engine oil cooler, coolant extracts heat from engine lubricating oil. Inside cabin heater, coolant
rejects heat to the air inside HVAC unit which in turn is used to maintain desired temperatures inside the
cabin.
For pressurizing the whole engine cooing system and to store coolant, degassing tank with pressure cap is
provided. If system pressure falls below or rises above specified limits, valve inside the cap get operated to
control it. The system is kept pressurized primarily to ensure higher boiling point of the coolant mixture. Two
inlets located at the top of degassing tank are connected to radiator top tank and EGR cooler hose
respectively. The internal baffles of degassing tank make coolant to pass through restricted, pre‐defined flow
path and deaerate the coolant. Outlet of degassing tank is connected to radiator outlet hose which in turn,
fed coolant to water pump.
Degassing tank allows coolant to expand or contract depending upon temperature. When coolant is at normal
room temperature, it's level should be maintained between 'MIN' (minimum) and 'MAX' (maximum) marking
provided on side walls of degassing tank. Coolant level should be checked only when vehicle is parked on flat‐
horizontal surface and coolant is at normal room temperature. Coolant can be topped‐up through the
degassing tank filler neck after removing the pressure cap. For draining coolant from the system, drain plug is
provided on radiator bottom tank.
Coolant mixture used in this system is 50% aqueous solution of BASF Glysantin G 37‐92 engine coolant. Top
up only with recommended Ready To Use (RTU) coolant for ensuring required performance, anti‐freezing and
corrosion protection. Do not add water directly. Mixing with other brand of coolants should be avoided and
not recommended. Coolant should be drained out of system and replaced with new mixture every XXXX miles
or 3 years, whichever is earlier.

Engine Oil Cooler
The Multi plate aluminum oil cooler in the engine
coolant system provides passages in which some are
used for oil circulation and some passages are used
for coolant circulation. Hot oil from the cylinder
block enters the cooler and circulates through the
passages which are surrounded by the cooling water
on both sides. The cooled oil then comes out of the
cooler and flows into the filter.
The cooling water for the cooler is taken from the
cylinder block water gallery. After cooling the oil,
the hot water passes through the water pump inlet.
Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor
The Engine coolant temperature sensor is an NTC
type of sensor which sends coolant temperature
information to the EMS ECU. The ECU processes this
information for calculating fuel injection quantity
and timing. If the engine overheating then ECU will
switch off the engine for protection.
Water Pump
The centrifugal type water pump pressurizes the
coolant and circulates it throughout the system
circuit. The coolant flows from the pump to the
cylinder block and then to the cylinder.
A water pump is provided with the impeller which is
formed by seven vanes. The impeller is placed inside
an involute casing. The drive for the water pump is
taken from the crank shaft (damper pulley) via a
belt with the ratio of 1:31.

Repair Manual MAN-00196
SUV/SC/DC L6 July 2012/Rev1
Viscous Fan
A viscous fan is connected to a drive pulley by
viscous coupling. The drive for the pulley is taken
from the water pump end (drive ratio is 1:31 with
crank shaft). The fan cools the radiator which in turn
cools the engine coolant.
The viscous fan is placed behind the radiator core.
The fan drive engages or disengages depending upon
the temperature of air passing through radiator core
and reaching the bimetallic coil on the fan. The fan
will engage at the temperature of 80° C ± 3° C
(176°F± 37.4°F) and will disengage at 45° C (113°F).
The viscous coupling works according to the
following principle. When the air surrounding the
coupling crosses the designed limit, the coupling
engages the fan with the pulley by transferring the
positive drive to the pulley and provides more
cooling to the radiator. When the air surrounding
the coupling flows down, the fan gets disconnected
from the pulley and rotates freely.
Thermostat valve
Thermostat valve is essentially a coolant flow control
device which gets operated by virtue of heat
received from engine coolant flowing across it.
Thermostat valve helps in regulating the operating
temperature of engine by controlling the amount of
coolant flowing through radiator.
When engine and coolant is relatively colder,
thermostat valve remains closed thereby preventing
coolant from flowing through radiator. Coolant goes
directly to water pump inlet. Because of this, coolant
and hence engine progressively get warmer. Once
the engine and coolant is warm enough, valve starts
opening up, allowing a portion of coolant to flow
through radiator.
Extent of valve opening and hence amount of
coolant flowing through radiator depends upon the
temperature of engine coolant flowing across it.
Valve starts opening at 188°F (87°C) and fully opens
up at 208°F (98°C).

Recommended Engine Coolant Replacement/Filling and Bleeding Procedure
1. Park the vehicle on flat‐horizontal surface. Keep the parking brake fully engaged and keep transmission
shift lever in 'P' position.
2. Verify that engine and hence coolant is at normal room temperature. Never remove the pressure cap if
engine is still hot.
3. Slowly open the degassing tank cap. Never open the pressure cap quickly. This will ensure progressive
pressure release in the system.
4. Remove the drain plug on the radiator bottom. Drain the coolant completely. Refit the drain plug. Fill the
new (prescribed) coolant mixture in system from degassing tank filler neck.
5. Loosely fit the degassing tank pressure cap. Do not tighten it fully.
6. Coolant should be filled till fill level reaches just
below the 'MAX' making on degassing tank as
shown below. Check the system for leakages.
CAUTION
MAX Always maintain required coolant level and Use
MIN
recommended engine coolant and in specified
mixture ratio only.
7. Start the engine and run it at approximate 1200 rpm for approximately 5 minutes.
8. Press accelerator pedal slowly near to full and then release it instantly. Repeat this cycle multiple times
for approximately 2 minutes.
9. Caution should be observed, as the cap is not tightened fully till now, there could be coolant splashes
near the degassing tank.
10. After the above, stop the engine. Press/release the coolant hoses so as to drive entrapped air to some
extent
11. Fully tighten the pressure cap on degassing tank.
12. Start the engine and warm it until thermostat valve opens. This can be verified by touching the radiator
inlet hose with hand and feeling the warm coolant flowing inside it.
13. Press accelerator pedal slowly near to full and then release it instantly. Repeat this cycle multiple times
for approximately 5 minutes
14. Stop the engine and remove the pressure cap. Let the engine cool down.
15. Check the coolant level in degassing tank. If required, add coolant mixture so as to bring the level
between 'MIN' and 'MAX' markings. Tighten the pressure cap fully over degassing tank.
16. Once any rework/service is done on cooling system, It is highly recommended that after running the
vehicle for first XX miles, coolant level should be checked and added if required. While checking the
level, vehicle should be parked on flat‐horizontal surface and coolant should be at normal room
temperature.

Water pump leakage test
Typical sign of failed water pump is leakage through the seal and bearings. Water pump has a small hole
below where the coolant will seep out if the seal or bearing is failed. If the water pump is leaking replace the
pump as soon as possible. Water pump failure can be confirmed by below steps:
1. Remove the V‐belt.
2. Rotate the water pump pulley and check for free rotation.
3. Check for water leakage through the leakage hole.
4. Replace the water pump, if necessary.
Thermostat valve test
1. Remove the thermostat valve from the thermostat housing, by removing the respective screws.
2. Mount the thermostat valve on a suitable fixture, and place the fixture in a container filled with water.
3. Heat the container and measure the temperature of water by using a digital thermometer.
4. Keep track of water temperature and respective valve opening/travel.
5. Thermostat should start opening at 87+/‐2 °C. Once temperature reaches 98+/‐2 °C valve should be fully
open. At this moment, valve travel will be approximately 0.31” (8.0mm).
6. In case thermostat valve behavior does not confirm to above specifications, it should be replaced.
DANGER
Use extreme caution while the engine is running. Do not stand in a direct line with the fan. Do not put your
hands near the pulleys, belt or fan. This will lead to personal injury.

Injection timing and quantity are calculated by the Engine Management System Electronic Control Unit (EMS
ECU). Using various input variables, the EMS ECU controls the electrically operated injectors, which inject the
required quantity of fuel into the combustion chamber.
The fuel pressure sensor on the common rail provides rail pressure information to the EMS ECU. The Pressure
Regulating Valve (PRV) regulates the rail pressure taking information from the EMS ECU.
The PRV controls the fuel metering for the system by using the fuel metering valve and the fuel pressure
regulator, so the optimum fuel pressure is available in every operating state. Excess fuel passes through the
fuel return pipe to the fuel tank.
In the fuel tank, a venturi pump ensures that the returned fuel fills the fuel supply unit in the tank.
Fuel injector
The top (fuel entry) end of the fuel injector is
C attached to an opening on the fuel rail. The injector
uses electric actuation for precise control of
injection. When electric current is passed through a
A
stack of electrodes, the stack is compressed.This

compression of electrodes is used to open the
passage for high pressure fuel leading to fuel
injection. electric actuation is very fast so the
injections can be very precisely controlled.
The injectors can inject very small quantities of fuel.

Fuel lines
The fuel lines are high pressure lines connecting the
common rail to the HPP and to the fuel injectors.
The fuel lines also avoid the possibility of fuel
contamination in the system. The high pressure lines
are marked 1, 2, 3, 4 respectively for easy
identification and installation. These HPP insure air
tight connection and avoid chances of leakages.
Fuel Filter
The fuel filter filters the fuel of small impurities that
may be present in the fuel. The fuel system operates
under high pressure which makes it absolutely
essential for the fuel to be dust free and moisture
free. It has a water separator which filters the
moisture present in the fuel. The high pressure
components in the fuel system require constant
B lubrication which is provided by the diesel fuel.
Hence the diesel fuel is required to be free of
contaminants and also free of moisture.This is
achieved by the water separator and also by a water
in fuel sensor mounted at the lowest portion of the
A fuel filter assembly. This sensor provides the warning
for presence of water in the fuel. In such a situation

This is an integral part of the fuel filter assembly and is mounted on the top of the fuel filter housing. The
fuel feed primer is provided to help in bleeding the air in the fuel system (low pressure circuit) whenever the
fuel filter or the fuel system is serviced.
How to bleed the fuel system (Low pressure circuit):
• Loosen the bleeding screw by 3‐4 turns.
• Switch “ON” the ignition and remove the diesel filling cape.
• Do the bleeding using the hand primer till pressure is felt while pumping.
• Tighten the bled screw.

The Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) is a flow through device that consists of a canister containing a
honeycomb‐like structure or cordierite substrate. The substrate has a large surface area that is coated with an
active catalyst layer. This layer contains a small, well dispersed amount of precious metals such as platinum
and palladium. As the exhaust gases traverse the catalyst, CO, gaseous HC and liquid HC particles (unburned
fuel and oil) are oxidized and converted to CO2 and water thereby reducing harmful emissions.
The catalyst in the DOC requires minimum exhaust temperature of 356°F (180°C) to begin oxidation process.
The DOC should be operated within the normal exhaust temperatures of the diesel engine. Elevated exhaust
temperatures and sustained near peak torque can adversely affect the performance of the DOC in the
presence of high sulfur concentrations. At higher temperatures, catalysts can oxidize sulfur dioxide to form
sulfate particulates (sulfuric acid). Therefore, higher sulfur fuels can increase DPM emission.

The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is a device designed to remove diesel particulate matter or soot from the
exhaust gas of a diesel engine. It removes all particles of soot from the exhaust gases and subsequently burns
them.
The DPF consists of precise matter coated with Aluminium Titanate substrate. The substrate is formed by tiny
channels arranged parallel to one another. As the ends of the channels are alternately closed, the gases are
forced to flow through the intermediate walls, which are provided with extremely fine pores. While gaseous
components can pass through, the particles are trapped. To prevent the particulate filter from becoming
clogged and to avoid excessive exhaust‐gas back pressure in the engine, the particulate stored in the filter has
to be burned off from time to time. This procedure is called regeneration.
The Differential Pressure Sensors monitor the load status of the particulate filter based on driving style and
distance driven. When the soot loading in the filter reaches pre‐determined limit, the Differential Pressure
Sensors and O2 sensor process the signals to EMS ECU. Based on the signals, the EMS ECU modifies the fuel
injection, intake‐air throttle, exhaust‐gas recirculation and boost‐pressure control to raise the engine
temperature and initiate regeneration.

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.
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.

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.
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 runouts/ warpage will cause
clutch to grab judder as well as improper release (also manifesting as hard gearshift).
Flywheel runout –
The flywheel runout needs to be checked whenever misalignment is suspected. Flywheel runout
should not exceed 0.10 mm.

To measure the runout mount the base of the magnetic dial gauge on the block. Locate the dial
gauge’s needle on the outer surface of the flywheel.
Heat warpage.
Improper machining.
Incorrect bolt tightening
Foreign material on crankshaft flange or flywheel.
Improper seating on crankshaft.
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.
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 hub’s well as the clutch splines
To check the clutch housing misalignment bell housing runout will also need to be checked.

If the cover assembly may be reused then loosen the cover bolts evenly and in tightening sequence
to relive the spring tension equally.
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.)
During assembly use the MST 546 to align the clutch plate while the cover is being tightened.

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 runout --
The flywheel runout needs to be checked whenever misalignment is suspected. Flywheel runout
should not exceed 0.10 mm
To measure the runout; mount the base of the magnetic dial gauge on the block. Locate the dial
gauge’s needle on the outer surface of the flywheel.
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 runout.
Check the clutch disc runout 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.
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.

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 hub’s well as the clutch splines
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 0.0076mm then the flywheel needs to be replaced.
(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 runouts.
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.
• 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)
• Do not uses flame to heat the ring – it can cause annealing of the ring teeth and premature
failure.

Trouble Shooting
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;
or worn out brass synchro ring.
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.
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 gear clash during shifts can be resulted. 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 Transfer Case‐Overview
A. Electronic Transfer Case
Description and Operation
The Divgi‐Warner’s two‐speed, part‐time electronic shift transfer case consists of a shift motor, speed sensor,
electric clutch and transfer case Electronic Control Unit (ECU). The mode selector switch located on the
centre console, which is used to select the transfer case mode and mode indicator (4WH and 4WL) are on
the dash board. The wiring harness connects the above parts with the power input.
The power received by the input shaft and is coupled to the two output shafts of the transfer case. One of
the output shafts is fixed to the rear axle and other is fixed to the front axle.
The planetary gear set provides gear reduction. The power is transferred to the front wheel drive through a
Morse HY‐VO chain drive. The oil pump provides lubrication to the planetary gear set and the upper output
shaft components. The 2H, 4H and 4L modes are obtained by rotating the selector switch, which in turn gives
a signal to the transfer case ECU that controls the operations. The transfer case ECU senses the conditions
and shifts the transfer case as per the selected mode.
The transfer case allows both two and four wheel drive operations. The HY‐VO chain‐driven output in the
transfer case provides four wheel drive for the vehicle. The positive displacement oil pump and filter in the
transfer case assures full lubrication while driving or towing the vehicle, reducing maintenance needs. The
helical gearing provides quiet and low‐range operation. The four‐wheel drive indicator light on dash board
indicates the four wheel drive. The electromagnetic shift‐on‐the‐fly provides effortless engagement of four
wheel drive high mode at highway speeds. However the four wheel drive low engagement, vehicle should be
at zero speed and should be in neutral.
The auto‐locking hub should be lubricated as per the maintenance schedule.
The repair methods given by the manufacturer in this document are based on the technical specifications current at the time of release. The methods may be modified as a result of changes introduced by the manufacturer in the production of

Power to the road wheels is transferred via mechanical units called as auto‐locking hubs. When 4WD is
selected the auto‐locking hubs lock the axle shaft to the wheel hub. This mechanical locking will occur when
the vehicle is driven in either forward or reverse direction. Incase the mode is shifted to 2WD, the vehicle has
to driven in either forward or reverse direction for few feet. Disengagement of the auto‐locking hubs can be
identified by clicking sound from the units.
4H ‐ Four Wheel High
All four wheels are driven at 1:1 speed ratio. The
four wheel drive lamp illuminates when 4H mode is
selected. This mode provides additional traction and
maximum pulling power for loose, slippery road

pavement. Front and rear drive shafts are locked

drive shafts are locked together in this mode which
forces the front and rear wheels to rotate at the

and do not exceed 20 mph when driving in this
mode. When operating your vehicle in 4L, the
engine speed is considerably higher than that of the
4H position at a given road speed.
NOTICE
Because four‐wheel drive provides improved
traction, there is a tendency to exceed safe
turning and stopping speeds. Do not go faster

Automatic Locking Hub
Construction
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.
The 4 Tanged washers are held in place on the Wheel Spindle. The cutouts 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 outside 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 Aluminum 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 outside teeth of the clutch gear engage the inside
teeth of the outer clutch housing (9), locking the wheel hub to the axle shaft.
The repair methods given by the manufacturer in this document are based on the technical specifications current at the time of release. The methods may be modified as a result of changes introduced by the manufacturer in the production of

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.

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).
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 serrations. 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 is 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 cannot 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
• 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.

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.
Assembly
1. Following assemblies are to be replaced as sub‐
assemblies only. (if replacement is needed)
2. Install the cam & follower assembly into the outer
clutch housing from the inside.

axial movement and transmits torque and rotational motion at a variable angular relationship from
transmission to axle. There is a constant change in length while transmitting torque due to change in
the transmission angle when the vehicle passes over uneven road surfaces. This is accomplished by
Universal Joints at both the ends of the shaft. Slip joint or reverse sleeve yoke allows the contraction
or expansion of the propeller shaft thus allowing the length to change.
The Propeller Shaft is built with the yoke lugs arranged in a line called phasing. This design provides
smooth running condition to the vehicle. An out of phase shaft causes vibration.

Description
Front Axle ‐ Overview
The axle for a 4WD vehicle receives power from the transfer case through the front propeller shaft. The
propeller shaft in turn transfers the power to the differential. The power is now transmitted to the axle
shafts through the pinion mate and side gears. The side gears are splined to the axle shafts. This is done
through two constant velocity (CV) drive shafts.
The repair methods given by the manufacturer in this document are based on the technical specifications current at the time of release. The methods may be modified as a result of changes introduced by the manufacturer in the production of

Care of the System
Checking and adjusting the pinion backlash
CAUTION
Each drive pinion and crown wheel of a set is marked with a serial number which is stamped on both parts.
In addition, the bevel drive pinion is always marked with the specific distance for this crown wheel/pinion
that is to be set between the two gears.
1. Measure the height difference between old and new pinion shaft with the bearing on a standard master
block.
2. Using the special tool provided (Standard dial stand) and the master block and measure the deflection of
the dial gauge.
3. Note down the deflection which is in mm and covert it to thou's to select shim/ shim packs.
4. To decide on addition or deletion of shims from the shim pack refer the shim selection chart.
5. Reassemble the differential assembly.
NOTICE
Shims size will be specified in Thou (T), dial gauge will provide us the measurement in mm. Convert the
“mm” measurement to Thou and equate the number of shims required to get the needed number of
shims.
6. Check the all parts to see if they can be reinstalled. Check bearing seats on drive pinion for radial run‐
out. Maximum radial run‐out 0.0098 inches (0.25 mm).
Procedure to check and adjust the crown backlash
NOTICE
When the crown wheel/pinion is to be reinstalled, mark the position of the crown wheel with respect to
the differential housing. So that the crown wheel can be returned to the same position while reinstall.
1. Use the dummy bearings in place of the actual bearings along with the old shims.
2. Install the differential assembly into the differential housing.
3. Check the sideways movement of crown wheel and accordingly the shims to be added/deleted to achieve
desired backlash. Pushing the differential assembly towards pinion will reduce backlash and away from
the pinion will increase backlash.
4. To measure the backlash, mount the dial gauge on differential housing and ensure that the stylus of the
dial gauge is at 90 degrees to one of the teeth.
5. To check the backlash, rotate the Crown Wheel and note down the maximum reading on dial gauge.
6. Add/Delete the shims to/from appropriate side of Crown Wheel Assembly till the specified backlash
0.005~0.0196 inches (0.127~0.5mm) is achieved.
7. After the backlash adjustment is done, note down the shims on both sides of Crown Wheel.
8. Remove the Dummy Bearing.
9. Put the Shim pack on respective sides and assemble the new bearings on Crown Wheel.
10.Refit the removed parts.

Description
Rear Axle ‐ Overview
Description and Operation
The rear axle is a hypoid semi‐floating type. The differential case along with the crown wheel and the drive
pinion are mounted in an opposed taper roller bearing in a single piece rear axle carrier.
The rear axle pinion receives power from the engine through the transmission and drive shaft. The drive
pinion rotates the differential by engaging with the crown wheel, which is bolted to the differential case
flange. Inside the differential cage, there are two pinion mate gears mounted on pinion mate shaft. These
gears are engaged with the side gears to which the axle shafts are splined. As the differential housing turns,
it rotates the axle shaft and the rear wheel. When it is necessary for one wheel to rotate faster than the
other, the faster turning gear causes the pinion to roll on the slower turning gear and allow differential
action between the two axle shafts.
The axle shafts are held in the housing by the bearings and the retainers at the housing outer end. Axle shaft
endplay is pre set and not adjustable. The hub bearings are prepackaged for life.
All operations other than the removal of the axle shafts and the replacement of the wheel bearing oil seal
should be carried out with the axle removed from the vehicle.
The repair methods given by the manufacturer in this document are based on the technical specifications current at the time of release. The methods may be modified as a result of changes introduced by the manufacturer in the production of
the various component units and accessories from which the vehicles are manufactured. The reproduction, translation, transmission, in part of whole of the present document, are prohibited without the prior written consent of © 2012

Trouble Shooting
Inspection and Verification
1. Verify the customer‘s concern.
2. Visually inspect the rear axle for any noticeable signs of mechanical damage.
3. If an obvious cause is found during the inspection, correct the same before proceeding to the next step.
4. If the cause is not found visually during the inspection, refer to the troubleshooting chart.
Remember:
Before diagnosing the whine as axle gear noise, ensure that the whine:
1. Occurs in direct transmission ratio. (4th gear)
2. Changes with throttle/ accelerator variations (drive and coast). (i.e driving in neutral with the clutch
released and engine running)
3. Always occur at the same road speed and not engine speed, Occurs over a limited vehicle speed. (This
can vary over a wide band should the axle be in extremely bad condition)
Bearing Noise:
Bearing noise is inclined to be less throttle sensitive than gear noise and frequently occurs over a wide speed
range. Bad cases of faulty bearings can, in fact be detected from walking speed, building up in pitch as speed
increases and is not directly affected by changing from drive to coast (i.e. driving in neutral with the clutch
released and engine running) and visa versa.
a. Rear wheel bearing noise tends to be low pitched grumble, which can normally be detected and
confirmed when driving on a smooth road at constant speed, with the noise most audible while swerving
sharply from left to right. If the noise increases or a decrease as the car is swerved, it is probable that a
wheel bearing is faulty. Driving close to a wall or a curb at a suitable speed can carry out a further check
for wheel bearing noise.
b. Differential bearing noise is usually similar to in pitch to wheel bearing noise but is not affected by the
swerve check referred to previously.
c. Pinion bearing noise is normally at a higher pitch than wheel or differential bearings and is often slightly
sensitive to throttle position, although not to the same extent as gear noise.
Bearing Noise:
1. A further condition, which can exist, is due to a worn bearing that allows the gear set to move out of its
correct mesh cause gear noise. This condition is usually throttle sensitive, with the noise frequently
disappearing on a “drive” condition. Any amount of or endplay in either the pinion bearings or
differential carrier bearings are detrimental to the gears and bearings and will cause axle noise.
2. A high spot sometimes occur on either the ring gear or the drive pinion; this shows up as a ticking or
light knocking noise over a restricted range of throttle position. The frequency of the noise will indicate
whether the high spot is on the pinion (drive shaft frequency) or on the ring gear. The severity of the
noise indicates the size of the defect. A light “tick “is seldom detrimental and usually occurs in new axle
and will normally disappear once the axle has been run in.
3. Louder noise usually indicates a more serious defect and a knock occurring in an axle which was
previously free from this type of noise must always be investigated.

Shims size will be specified in Thou (T), dial gauge will provide us the measurement in mm. Convert the
“mm” measurement to Thou and equate the number of shims required to get the needed number of
shims.
6. Check the all parts to see if they can be reinstalled. Check bearing seats on drive pinion for radial run‐
out. Maximum radial run‐out 0.0098 inches (0.25 mm).
Procedure To Check And Adjust The Crown Backlash
NOTICE
When the crown wheel/pinion is to be reinstalled, mark the position of the crown wheel with respect to
the differential housing. So that the crown wheel can be returned to the same position while reinstall‐
ing.
1. Use the dummy bearings in place of the actual bearings along with the old shims.
2. Check the sideways movement of crown wheel and accordingly the shims to be added/deleted to achieve
desired backlash. Pushing the differential assembly towards pinion will reduce backlash and away from
the pinion will increase backlash.
3. Install the differential assembly into the differential housing.
4. To measure the backlash, mount the dial gauge on differential housing and ensure that the stylus of the
dial gauge is at 90 degree to one of the teeth.
5. To check the backlash, rotate the Crown Wheel and note down the maximum reading on dial gauge.
6. After the backlash adjustment is done, note down the shims on both sides of Crown Wheel.
7. Remove the Dummy Bearing.

Description
Steering System - Schematic The power steering system is a rack and
pinion type. 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.
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, thumping 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 to be 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.)
The possible causes for the power steering complaints are tabulated below:

less than 30 degrees. In other words this procedure is only for fine-tuning the steering wheel
position not for gross error. If it is more 30 degrees then remove the steering wheel and initially
realign to less than 30 degrees.
To check for the centralization of the steering wheel. Drive the vehicle on a level road surface; note
the angular position (misalignment of the steering wheel spokes.
Mark the position of the track rods and the track rod
ends
Slacken the track rod end lock nuts and also remove

• Before starting the Bleeding operation, ensure that the Vehicle is on level ground, and the
reservoir is filled to the maximum specified level.
• As with any hydraulic system ensure that the recommended fluids only is used. Ensure that no
dirt enters the system while topping up. Before opening the reservoir cap, wipe the area with a
cotton cloth and open the cap.
• Ensure that the front wheels are jacked up and wheels are lightly touching the ground.
• If this is not done then the steering linkage and components will be under undue stress.
• Even with the wheels partly jacked up; do not hold the steering in fully locked position for
more than 10 second. Failure to do so may damage the pump beyond repairs.
• Start the engine.
• Rotate the steering wheel from lock to lock; 3 to 4 times.
• Check if the oil in the reservoir has dropped down drastically- if so check for any leaks.
• Check if any foaming/ frothing are taking place.
• Repeat the rotation from lock to lock till the foaming subsides
• If the foaming is not subsiding after ¾ of the above cycle, check for the tightness of the hoses in
particular the reservoir to the steering pump and later the steering gear to reservoir. The loose
connection in these pipes will allow air to suck into the system.
• After completing the bleeding operation, ensure that with the engine running the oil level is
between the maximum and minimum mark.

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.

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 the lower links, then there is a
strong possibility that lower links may get bent.

Description
Single Cab and Double Cab vehicles are fitted with Leaf Spring in Rear Suspension.
The rear suspension system is semi elliptical leaf spring mounted onto the rear axle tube at the center
and the chassis frame at the other two ends. It also consists of the shock absorbers and stabilizer bar.
Stabilizer bar is mounted on the rear axle with the help of rubber bush. It is connected to the chassis
frame on both ends through the link rods.
Leaf spring is attached directly to the frame at one end and the other through a shackle, a short
swinging arm. The shackle takes up the tendency of the leaf spring to elongate when compressed and
thus makes for softer springiness.
The stabilizer bar receives all the transverse loads experienced especially during cornering controlling
the axle movement in lateral direction. The stabilizer bars transfer the loads to the outer wheel during
turns. The shock absorber will absorb the road shocks due to terrain and different load conditions. The
shock absorbers dampen the oscillations of the springs. The body mounts made of rubber fitted on the
chassis reduces the impact loads onto the body.

The rear stabilizer bar is also called as anti-roll bar/anti-sway bar. During cornering the outer wheel
suspension is compressed by the vehicle body. The vehicle chassis also rolls and the outer end of the
stabilizer bar twists upwards. Through the pivot mountings the stabilizer bar transmits part of the
torsional force to the opposite wheel, pulling into its wheel housing. This causes the inner wheel
suspension to be compressed and thereby reducing the body roll. The stabilizer bar is mounted on to
the rear axle through two mounting brackets with bushes.
The Rear Stabilizer Bar Link Rod connects the rear stabilizer to the chassis. There are two such links
connected to the respective ends of the stabilizer Bar. These facilitate the twisting of the stabilizer bar
during cornering and roll.

The leaf spring supports the vehicle and offers a comfortable ride. It prevents the shocks generated by
the irregularities in road from being transferred to the passenger block of the vehicle. It also supports
the rear axle.
Leaf spring attached directly to the frame at one end and the other end is attached through a shackle,
a short swinging arm. The shackle takes up the tendency of the leaf spring to elongate when
compressed and thus makes for softer elasticity of the spring.
The U-bolts fit around the rear axle and secure to a metal plate that rests against the leaf springs. The
purpose of the U-bolts is to keep the leaf springs flush against the axle thus the springs will take the
weight of the vehicle and will not move around too much during driving. The friction pads are
provided between the leaves to minimize the noise.
Semi elliptical spring is form of a slender arc shaped length of spring steel of rectangular cross section.
The center of the arc provides location for the rear axle, while tie holes are provided at either end for
attaching to the vehicle body. The leaf spring has been made from six leaves stacked on top of each
other from the layers, often with progressively shorter leaves. Leaf springs serves locating and to
some extent damping as well as springing functions.

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
persists then inspect for worn or damaged bushings and attaching components. Repair as necessary if
anything 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.

Description
The purpose of the brake system is to allow the driver to reduce the vehicle speed or stop the vehicle in
a stable & safe manner. The function of the brake system is to convert kinetic energy of the vehicle into
heat energy through the application of friction.
A vehicle is also equipped with a parking brake mechanism to be used in parking conditions of vehicle or
in case of hydraulic brake failure, usually through the application of a hand operated lever.
Generally the braking power is three to five times more than the engine power. Brake systems use
friction to slow down, stop and hold the wheels of a vehicle. Brake systems apply friction by the use of
brake shoes or brake pads. Although friction is being applied to the brakes it is actually the friction
between the tires and road surface that stops the vehicle.
A disc brake uses brake pads to carry the friction material. The brake pad friction material is bonded to a
steel pad (back plate). Most brake pad manufacturers use a combination of metallic fibers in a resin
material to create the friction material.
A drum brake uses a brake shoe to carry the friction material. The friction material may be riveted or
bonded on to a steel shoe (web). Kevlar or a steel and mineral fiber mix is a common friction lining for
the brake shoe. Brake friction materials must be able to withstand temperatures up to 700 degrees
Celsius for short periods.
The brake system in SUV/ SC/ DC is vacuum assisted ‘H’ split type. The front brakes are single pot
callipers with ventilated rotor (with angular vanes, hence the LHS and RHS are different). The rear brakes
are drum type with self-adjusting mechanism. The parking brakes are actuated in the rear through cable.
Both the front disc pads and the rear brake liners are non asbestos.
The braking system includes a Load sensing Proportioning Valve. It controls the brake fluid pressure
going to the rear depending on the load on the vehicle. Normally when the vehicle is loaded and brakes
applied; due to the weight transfer the load on the rear wheels become very less. In vehicles without the
LSPV; the full pressure of brake fluid going to the rear wheels tends to lock them. In vehicles fitted with
LSPV, the LSPV reduces the brake fluid going to the rear circuit depending on the load hence avoids the
rear wheel locking. Since the rear wheel locking is avoided it results in reducing the braking distance
(distance covered before the vehicle comes to a standstill)
The brake circuit is having an inbuilt bypass valve in the LSPV. In an unlikely situation of the front brake
circuit failure; the LSPV valve is bypassed and the full pressure of brake fluid goes to the rear. This
ensures that braking is achieved. The complete details about the LSPV valve & its functioning and setting
are mentioned later.
NOTE: Refer separate chapter in this Repair Manual for details on Anti-lock braking system.

Trouble Shooting
Preliminary checks involve inspecting fluid level, parking brake action, and wheel and tyre conditions,
checking for obvious or external leaks or component damage and pedal response. A road test will
confirm or deny the existence of the problem.
While road testing if the complaint involved low brake pedal, make several low speed stops and note if
pedal comes back to normal height. Check the pedal response with gear in neutral and engine running.
The pedal should remain firm under steady pressure. During road test make normal and firm brake stops
in speeds of 40 to 60 Km/h. Note faulty brake operation such as pull, grab, drag, noise, low pedal, hard
pedal, fade, pedal pulsation, etc.
Diagnosis –
Low pedal
If a low pedal is experienced, pump the pedal several times. If the pedal comes back up, worn lining and
worn rotors or drums are the most likely cause. However, if the pedal remains low and / or the warning
light illuminates then the problem is in the master cylinder, wheel cylinder, or callipers.
A decrease in master cylinder fluid may only be the result of normal lining wear. Fluid level will decrease
in proportion to the lining wear. It is a result of the outward movement of caliper and wheel cylinder
pistons to compensate for normal wear. Top up reservoir fluid and check brake operation to verify the
complaint.
Spongy pedal
A spongy pedal is most often caused by air in the system. However thin drums or substandard brake
lining and hoses will also cause a condition similar to spongy pedal. The proper course of action is bleed
the system or replace thin drums and suspect quality brake lining and hoses. In case the system has not
been maintained as per recommendations and the brake hoses have not been replaced then due to
swelling of the hoses during braking – it also causes spongy braking. In such a condition it is advisable to
replace the hoses and replace all the seals and change the brake fluid.
A hard pedal or high pedal effort may be due to lining that is water soaked, contaminated, glazed or
badly worn. Defective vacuum assistance will also cause hard operation. The vacuum booster or check
valve (NRV) could also be faulty. Test the booster function. As detailed below —
1. Start engine & check booster hose connections as well as the EGR valve connections. Correct any
vacuum leak before proceeding further.
2. Stop the engine and put in neutral.
3. Pump the brake pedal until all the vacuum in the reservoir is exhausted (normally after 6 to 8
pedal applications the brake pedal will become hard)
4. Press and hold brake pedal under light foot pressure

CHECK VALVE OR NRV -- NON RETURN VALVE, MOUNTED ON VACUUM BOOSTER FRONT FACE.
Brake drag
Brake drag occurs when the lining is in constant contact with the rotor or drum. Drag can occur at one
wheel, all wheels, front only or rear only. It is caused by incomplete shoe release. Drag can be minor or
severe enough to overheat the lining, rotor and drum. Brake drag has a direct effect on fuel economy.
Undetected minor drag can be misdiagnosed as an engine complaint. In case of severe drag it can also
cause clutch slip.
Minor drag will usually cause slight surface charring of the lining. It can also generate hard spots in the
rotor or the brake drum from the overheating/ cooling process. In most cases the rotors, drums, wheels,
and tyres are quite warm to touch after the vehicle is stopped.
Severe drag can char the brake lining all the way through. It can also cause distort and score rotors and
drums to the point of replacement. The wheels, tyre and brake components will be extremely hot. In
severe cases the lining may generate smoke as it chars from overheating.
If the brake drag occurs at all the wheels, the problem may be related to a blocked master cylinder
compensation port or faulty vacuum booster (binds does not release).
An improperly mounted brake light switch can also be a cause of drag. An improper mounting may
prevent the brake pedal to return completely. This will cause the master cylinder feed port to be
blocked. The brakes would be partially applied causing the drag.
Brake Fade
Brake fade is a product of overheating caused by brake drag. However overheating and subsequent
brake fade can also be caused by riding the brake pedal, making repeated high deceleration stops in a
short time span,
Constant braking on steep roads also cause brake fade. If the brake lining is contaminated with oil or
glazed then also the brake fading will take place.

Pedal Pulsation
Pedal pulsation is caused by components that are loose or beyond tolerance limits.
Disc brake rotors with excessive lateral run out or disc thickness variation, or out of round drums are the
primary cause of pulsation. Other causes are loose wheel bearings or calipers and worn, damaged tyre
Brake Pull
A worn, damaged wheel bearing or suspension components are further cause. A damaged front tyre
(bruised, ply separation) can also cause pull.
A common and frequently misdiagnosed pull condition is where the direction of pull changes after a few
stops. The cause is a combination of brake drag followed by brake fade at the dragging brake unit.
As the dragging brake overheats, efficiency is so reduced as the fade occurs. If the opposite braking unit
is still functioning then its braking effect is magnified. These causes pull to switch direction in favour of
the brake unit that is functioning normally.
While diagnosing a pull in change in pull condition, remember that pull will return to the original
direction if the dragging brake unit is allowed to cool down (and is not seriously damaged)
Contaminated lining, bent, or binding shoes and support plate usually causes rear grab (or pull). This is
particularly true when one wheel is involved. However when both rear wheels are affected the master
cylinder or the proportionate valve could be at fault.
This condition is generally caused by water soaked lining. If the lining is only wet it can be dried by
driving with the brakes lightly applied for 2 to 4 kms. However if the lining is both wet and dirty then it
will be necessary to dismantle, clean and reassemble.
There are two causes of brake fluid contamination. The first involves allowing dirt, debris, or other liquid
material to enter cylinder reservoir when the cover is off. The second involves adding to, or filling the
cylinder with a non- – recommended fluid. Brake fluid contaminated with only dirt, or debris usually

retains a normal appearance. In some cases the foreign material will remain suspended in the fluid and
be visible. The fluid and foreign material can be removed from the reservoir with a suction gun but only if
the brakes have not been applied. If the brakes are applied after contamination, system flushing will be
required. The master cylinder may have to be disassembled, cleaned and the piston seals replaced.
Foreign material lodged in the reservoir compensator/ports can cause brake drag by restricting the fluid
return after application.
Brake fluid contaminated by a non recommended fluid will usually be discoloured, milky, oily looking or
foamy. In some cases it may even appear as if the fluid contains sludge. However remember that the
brake fluid will darken in time and occasionally are cloudy in appearance. These are normal conditions
and should not be mistaken for contamination.
If some type of oil has been added to the system then the fluid can separate into distinct layers. This can
be verified by draining off a sample with a clean suction gun. Then pour the sample into a glass container
and observe fluid action. If the fluid separates into distinct layers, it is definitely contaminated.
The only real correction for contamination by non-recommended fluids is to flush the entire hydraulic
system and replace all the seals and the brake hose.
Brake Noise
Squeak/Squeal
Brake squeak or squeal may be due to lining that are wet or contaminated with brake fluid, grease or oil.
Glazed linings and rotor/drums with hard spots can also cause squealing. Dirt and foreign material
embedded in the system will also cause squeak/squeal. Worn retaining pins can also cause disc pad to
squeak/ rattle.
A very loud squeak or squeal is frequently a sign of severely worn brake lining (or the drum or the rotor).
If the lining has worn to the rivets then metal to metal contact takes place. In this condition we allow to
persist then rotors/drums can become so scored that it need to replace.
Thump/clunk
Thumping or clunking noise during braking are not caused by the brake components. In many cases such
noises are caused by loose or damaged steering, suspension or engine components. However calipers
that bind on the slide surface can generate thump or clunk noise. In addition, worn out improperly
adjusted, or improperly assembled rear brake shoes can also produce a thumping noise.
Chatter
Loose or worn components or glazed/burnt lining usually causes brake chatter. Rotors with hard spots
can also contribute to chatter. Additional causes of chatter are out of tolerance rotors, brake ling not
secured properly to shoes, loose wheel bearings and contaminated brake lining.
Brake lining contamination is usually a product of leaking calipers or wheel cylinders, driving through
deep puddles, or lining that has become covered with grease and gravel during repair.

Some conditions attributed to brake components may actually be caused by a wheel or tyre problem.
A damage wheel can cause shudder, vibration and pull. A worn or damaged tyre can also cause
pull.
Severely worn tyres with very little tread depth can produce a condition similar to grab as the
tyre loses and recover traction.
Flat spotted tyres can cause vibration and wheel tramp and generate wheel shudder during
brake operation.
A tyre with internal damage such as bruise or ply separation can cause pull and vibration
This can be caused by excessive hand brake lever play. Sticky parking cable, grease or oil on shoe, excess
shoe clearance (normally caused by malfunction of automatic adjusting mechanism)

The brake fluid should be replaced twice a year or every 40,000 Kms. whichever is earlier. This is because
brake fluid is hygroscopic in nature hence it absorbs moisture. The normal braking operation also results
in brake fluid getting heated. The process of heating and cooling also results in moisture.
The brake fluid boiling point keeps coming down due to the presence of moisture hence if not changed it
can cause higher corrosion of the wheel cylinders/ master cylinders/ brake tubes as well as spongy or
poor braking.
Do not mixes brake fluid of different brands. Do not use any brake fluid, which is kept in an open
container. Always use brake fluid from a sealed container.
The brake fluid should not be contaminated with any mineral oil. Do not use reuse brake fluid that has
just been bled. The list of the recommended lubricants is enclosed at the end of the chapter.

The brake booster converts mechanical force applied by driver/customer into hydraulic force through
master cylinder. The booster is installed on the firewall/dash panel with brake pedal. It consists of servo
(tandem diaphragm), master cylinder, brake fluid reservoir & low brake fluid warning sensor (FLWI).
The servo consists of 254 mm diameter Single Diaphragm in tandem with push rod connected to brake
pedal. The output rod connects the booster to the tandem master cylinder (TMC).
Servo is connected through vacuum hose to exhaust cam shaft driven vacuum pump.
TMC is designed to operate dual line (front & rear) hydraulic braking system. Brake Fluid is filled in brake
fluid reservoir consisting of two independent chambers working in tandem for brake system and third
independent chamber fro clutch system.
Even if leakage/damage occurs in one chamber or circuit the other remains operative. FLWI is a
contactless sensor connected to instrument cluster to warn the driver if the brake fluid level is closer to
minimum level marked on reservoir.
When the push rod is pressed by brake pedal, air enters through filter in vacuum servo. Power assist is
generated by utilizing the pressure differential between atmospheric pressure and vacuum. The force
gets multiplied based on boost ratio & applied to the output rod going inside master cylinder. The output
road strokes the master cylinder pistons & it generates hydraulic pressure in hydraulic brake lines going
to front & rear braking system independently. The super vac is a vacuum assisted mechanical servo unit
with 5.5: 1 boost ratio.
The Booster is a non- serviceable Unit & it should never be tampered with.
Ensure booster output rod is correctly aligned to the primary piston bore during the coupling of TMC to
the booster. The vehicle is equipped with a Tandem type vacuum booster to assist driver’s effort. This is
achieved by using vacuum from the vacuum pump provided on alternator in case of diesel engines &
from inlet manifold in case of petrol engines.
A single diaphragm is provided between the two shells of the booster & difference of pressure on two
sides of diaphragms (one side vacuum & other side atmospheric pressure) gives mechanical advantage.
This amplifies the driver’s pedal effort while braking. The booster assembly & TMC assembly are coupled
with the help of two nuts & washer. The meting dimensions of booster & TMC are factory set. Hence –
Do not alter the height of the output rod of the Vacuum Booster unit at any stage and ensure Booster
output rod is correctly aligned to the primary piston bore during the coupling of TMC to the booster.

Description –
Since the resultant force is positive, the piston lifts upwards & the Oil entered from Inlet port is fed to
outlet Port & the pressure to outlet increases. Further increase in inlet pressure (due to pressing of brake
pedal) again results into downward movement of piston, thereby closing the outlet at point ‘P’ & results
into drop in outlet pressure. The process continues & follows a fixed pattern.

This is achieved by following mechanism. In front fail condition the force acting on piston will only be –
This keeps the sealing point ‘P’ always open. (Due to the front circuit failure the hydraulic force acting on
area ‘A’ is zero.) So input pressure becomes equal to output pressure. This is called bypass function &

circuit. The Electronic Control Unit (ECU) monitors the Front Left, Front Right Wheel Speed and Rear
Differential speed through the Speed Sensors. If a wheel is about to lock-up, the ECU signals the
concerned cartridge (Valve) in the EHCU. The valve modulates the hydraulic brake pressure to the
respective wheels to prevent wheel lock-up.
Function
The ECU keeps monitoring the input from the speed sensors continuously. Though the ABS cycle gets
initiated when the ECU finds a wheel slip condition, the commencement of ABS activity begins when
the ECU receives signal from the Brake Stop Light Switch. In case of Brake Stop Light switch failure,
the ECU still functions, if it finds a deceleration situation and wheel slip situation.
The Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and the Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) are integrated together and
called as the EHCU. The HCU consists of a valve body, low-pressure accumulators, inlet valves, outlet
valves, pump, motor and noise attenuators. The operation of the valves and the motor are controlled
by the ECU, which receives input from the Speed sensors. The ECU contains the necessary hardware
and software to process the input signals and trigger the HCU accordingly.

Isolation
The inlet valve is a Normally Open Valve. Under Normal braking conditions, the fluid from the master
cylinder passes through this inlet valve and reaches the outlet. If the information from the wheel
speed sensors indicates excessive wheel deceleration (imminent lockup), the first step in the antilock
sequence is to isolate the brake pressure being applied by the driver. Thus, with the inlet valves
closed, further unnecessary increases in the brake pressure will be prohibited. If required the valve is
pulsed for pressure increase in the brakes.
When the brake switch opens, the inlet valve is turned off and fluid may return to the master cylinder.
Dump
The outlet valve is a Normally Closed Valve. During an ABS cycle, if the brake pressure has to be
reduced to recover the wheel from slipping, the valve is opened for certain duration and accordingly
the pressure at the brakes gets reduced. If required, the valve is opened and closed several times, to
control the deceleration of the wheel.
Accumulator
During an ABS cycle, when the outlet valve opens to reduce the pressure at the brakes, the extra fluid
from the brakes gets dumped into the Accumulator. This fluid is used to re-apply pressure to the
brakes, if required during the ABS cycle. Remaining fluid returns to the reservoir when the brake is
OFF. A portion of the fluid also primes the pump. At the end of the antilock stop, when the driver
releases the brake pedal, the motor will remain running for a short time to help drain any fluid in the
Accumulator.

The pump provides the volume needed during the “Re-apply” stage and is operated by a DC Motor. At
the end of the antilock stop, when the driver releases the brake pedal, the motor will remain running
for a short time to help drain any fluid in the Accumulator.
Noise Attenuator
During an ABS cycle, when the brake pressure is increased, by pulsing the inlet valve and pumping
fluid from the Accumulator, an Attenuator (Rubber damper) takes up the pulsations and minimizes the
pedal pulsation and Noise.
The Wheel Speed Sensor works on Hall effect principle. These sensors can be used to find the speed
of any rotating member. The sensor reads the tooth on the Toner Ring and produces an output signal
proportional to the associated wheel speed.
Cluster Lamps
The ECU drives the warning lamps in the cluster, whenever there is a malfunction. Under normal
conditions, during ignition ON, the lamps will be ON for few seconds and then go OFF. If the lamps
continue to glow, then the ABS system needs to be diagnosed to find the fault. Before connecting the
Diagnostic connector, check if the Parking brake is ON. If yes, release the parking brake and see if the
bulbs are OFF. If not, then continue with ABS system Diagnostics.
Diagnostic Connector
Pedal Feel
During an ABS cycle, when the inlet valve is activated and cuts-off the communication between the
master cylinder and the brakes, the pedal becomes very hard. This is expected and normal. Also,
during the pressure increase sequence, when the inlet valve is pulsed open to allow master cylinder
pressure to reach the brakes, the driver may feel slight pedal pulsation, or pedal drop. This is normal
and expected

DRP controls rear brake pressure to maximize brake balance efficiency. The activation of DRP is based
on wheel slip comparison of the front vs. rear. The control is modified to take care of the conditions
when the wheels are turned and negotiating rough roads. The rear brake pressure is increased or
decreased based on wheel slip (front vs. rear). DRP resumes control after ABS activation.
The advantage of DRP is that it assures the vehicle remains rear skid limited under all loading
conditions. It is able to achieve a brake balance that is more efficient than a hydraulic proportioning
valve. The Operation of DRP goes unnoticed by the driver in most conditions, as there is not pedal
pulsation when the DRP is active.
System Operation
Normal Braking
During normal brake application, pressure is applied through the brake pedal and fluid comes from
the master cylinder into the EHCU. The fluid travels through the normally open inlet valve into the
brakes. The pump does not turn on, and the LPA and attenuators are empty of residual pressure.
Even though the ABS is passive during normal braking, the EHCU constantly monitors wheel sensor
inputs for rapid deceleration. If the system were disabled, the driver would always have foundation
brakes. The normally open inlet cartridge and normally closed outlet cartridge would remain in these
positions to allow fluid pressure to reach the brakes.
ABS Braking
If the information from the wheel speed sensors indicates excessive wheel deceleration (imminent
lockup), the first step in the antilock sequence is to isolate the brake pressure being applied by the
driver. Thus, with the inlet valves closed, further unnecessary increases in the brake pressure will be
prohibited. Once the pressure is isolated, it must be reduced to get the wheels rolling once again.
This is accomplished by dumping a portion of the brake fluid pressure into an Accumulator. A portion
of the fluid also primes the pump. The outlet cartridges are operated independently to control the
deceleration of the wheel. To obtain optimum braking, the reapply sequence is initiated.
The isolation valve is momentarily pulsed open to allow master cylinder and pump pressure to reach
the brakes. The driver may feel slight pedal pulsation, or pedal drop. This is normal and expected.
At the end of the antilock stop, when the driver releases the brake pedal, the motor will remain
running for a short time to help drain any fluid in the Accumulator. While the fluid drains back into
the system, the Accumulator springs help force the piston back to their original position. When the
brake switch opens, the inlet valve is turned off and fluid may return to the master cylinder.
During antilock braking, the solenoid valves contained in the HCU are opened and closed as needed.
The valves modulate the brake pressure during an ABS cycle.

SUV/SC/DC L6 July 2012/Rev 1
The brake pressure modulation occurs in three stages – Pressure decrease, pressure hold and pressure
increase or “Re-apply” stage. During the ABS cycle, the Accumulators in the valve body store extra
fluid released to the system. The pump provides the volume needed during the “Re-apply” stage and
is operated by the motor
Every time the driver applies the brakes, the ECU is signaled to prepare for a possible ABS event. If too
much braking force for the given road conditions is generated, the ECU reads the information from the
speed sensor(s) as excessive wheel deceleration, and begins the ABS sequence.
The first step is to isolate the brake pressure being applied by the driver. The ECU closes the isolation
valve, preventing additional brake fluid pressure from reaching the brake circuit(s). This is achieved by
energizing the coil that is directly over the isolation valve causing the plunger to close the orifice,
shutting off fluid flow to the locked wheel(s). Although each channel of the system can operate
independently, once any front wheel sees excessive deceleration, both front isolation valves are
closed.
Once the pressure is isolated, it must be reduced to allow the wheels to roll again. This is
accomplished by dumping a portion of the fluid pressure into a Low Pressure Accumulator (LPA).
With very short pulses of opening and closing the dump valve(s), brake fluid is removed from the
channel(s) and dumped into an LPA. This lowers brake pressure at the brake(s) and allows the
wheel(s) to begin rolling again. Dump valves of each channel are operated independently.
The ABS system is still in isolation mode during the dump mode. The motor is turned on to allow the
pumps to remove brake fluid from the LPA’s. A portion of the fluid stored in the LPA’s is used to prime
these pumps.
The reapply mode is initiated to increase brake pressure. The isolation valve is momentarily opened
to allow master cylinder and pump pressure to reach the brakes. This controlled pressure rise
continues until excessive wheel deceleration occurs or until the brake pressure equals the master
cylinder output pressure. The driver may feel pedal pulsations, which is an operating characteristic of
this type of system. The attenuator located in the HCU, acts as a shock absorber to soften this
feedback.
As pressure is reapplied to the brakes, the wheels begin to slow down. If the ECU detects excessive
wheel deceleration again, the ABS cycle will repeat. This controlled cycle occurs quickly, allowing
several ABS cycles to occur every second. It is a much faster and more controlled method of “pumping
the brake pedal”. The cycles will continue until the driver releases the brake pedal or the ECU
determines ABS is no longer necessary.

pulsation when the ABS is active is normal
• DRP is equivalent to electronic LSPV. It is active only when the rear wheels are tending to

• When the lock takes place normally the rear tend to lock first hence initially the DRP kicks
in. Then the second stage if the front is locking then the ABS also becomes active.
• Under severe panic braking the front wheels can lock first or all the four wheels will tend to
lock. Under this condition the ABS will come into operation immediately.
• Clear all the DTC codes before giving the vehicle back to the customer. Any unhealed code
should be attended and then only the vehicle to be released.
• It is recommended that whenever the vehicle reports to the workshop, the DTC codes
should be checked.
• The status of the code (healed or not present) when it came to the workshop as well as
before leaving the workshop, should be printed. (Use the print command in the diagnostic,
converts to a PDF file, later the PDF file to be printed. This record should be kept in the

Description
WHEELS - The Standard equipment wheels are with a suitable wheel rim size of 6.50 J x 16.
TYRES –
• The tyres fitted in SUV vehicles are radial tubeless tyres and with a suitable wheel disc.
- The tyre size is P 235/70 R 16
• The tyres fitted in SC/DC vehicles are radial tubeless tyres and with a suitable wheel disc.
- The tyre size is P 245/75 R 16
Explanation- In tyre Specification P 235/70 R 16 - The 235 is the width of the tyre in mm at the
designated air pressure and load. The / 70 is the aspect ratio of the tyre. (Ratio between the height and
width here the height is 0.70 times the width.
The basic concept in the structure of the radial tubeless tyres is the absence of tubes within them. The
external structure is similar to other tire types but the inner structure differs. The tubeless tyres are
solely filled with air, and the air inside the tyre is sealed by lining the inner wall with an airtight and
impermeable membrane. The membrane is made by halo butyl/chloro-butyl, and the butyl lining reduces
air permeation.
The radial tubeless tires play an important role in vehicle handling and riding characteristics and a change
of tire should be as per specifications.
The air pressure maintained in the tires has direct influence on fuel average, braking and on riding
characteristic, essential to maintain tire pressure as recommended.
The tubeless tyres are comparatively less vulnerable to heat and friction generated between the tyres
and the road surface which helps to increase the life of the tyres. It also improves acceleration and fuel
efficiency because these are lighter and have lower rolling resistance than the tube type tyres. In case of
tyre puncture you can safely drive with the tubeless tyres to certain distance before the tyre loses the air
completely.
WHEEL REPLACEMENT –
Wheels to be replaced if they found bend, have excessive lateral/ radial run-out, have elongated bolt
holes or if they are heavily rusted.
When replacing the wheels ensure that it must be equivalent to the original equipment wheels in load
capacity, diameter, and rim. A wheel of improper size or type may affect wheel and bearing life, brake
cooling, vehicle ground clearance and tyre clearance to body and chassis.
TYRE REPLACEMENT -
When replacing the tyres ensure that original equipment type tyres should be used. Refer to the tyre
Placard. Replacement tyres should be of the same size. Use of any other size or type tyre may affect ride
characteristic, vehicle handling, speedometer/odometer calibration, vehicle ground clearance and tyre or
snow chain clearance to the body and chassis.

SUV/SC/DC L6 July 2012/Rev 1
The tyre is one of the most abused components hence maintaining the tyre is of utmost
importance. The tyre pressure should be checked once in a fortnight. (Once in a week during
summer) 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. Refer SOP.
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. It 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.

1. Inspect the tires for incorrect inflation and uneven wear which indicates a need for balancing,
rotation or vehicle alignment.
2. Tires should be frequently checked for cuts, stone bruises, abrasions, blisters and for objects that are
embedded in the tread.
3. Frequently check the condition of the wheels, and replace any wheel that is bent, cracked, dented or
has excessive runout.
4. Frequent inspections are recommended when rapid or extreme temperature changes occur, when
road surfaces are rough or littered with foreign material.
5. Check the tire tread depth, if the depth is reduced to 0.06” (1.6mm) or less, replace the tyres.

Air pressures should be checked when the tyres are cold. Otherwise, you may get inaccurate results.
Never under-inflate or over-inflate tyres. Under-inflation may cause the rim to slip on the tyre bead,
resulting in an accident or damage to the tyre or rim. Over-inflation may cause the tyre to burst.
Do not mix different ply-type-ratings and/or different brands, construction or tread patterns of tyres on
your Mahindra vehicle and do not use tyres other than the manufactures recommended size. DO not use
the alloy wheels / rims other than the recommended. Doing so may cause dangerous handling
characteristics resulting in loss of control.
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- Check recommendations)
Now follow the sequence of Stage A, Stage B, Stage C. Road test after each stage:
If the stages of A, B, & C are done together then improvement may not be noticed. In worst case scenario
the problem may get aggravated.

speed and air temperature can be adjusted by operating buttons/knobs provided HVAC control panel.
HVAC system also helps in defrosting and defogging the windshield. Fresh air and recirculation mode
can also be selected.
Depending upon fresh or recirculation mode selected at HVAC control panel, a flap located on blower
housing gets operated and blower sucks air either from outside or from inside the cabin. At fresh air
inlet there is a wire mesh is provided. Before air gets sucked inside the system, it is filtered first by
HVAC filter located just above blower.
Filtered air is then forced circulated towards the main distribution hosing where multiple flaps are
provided. By selecting a particular distribution mode at HVAC control panel different flaps get
operated in pre-defined way thereby air flow is distributed among different vents present inside
passenger compartment.
Air flow volume or speed is controlled via a blower resistor and can be adjusted by adjusting blower
speed knob on HVAC control panel. Flow direction of air flow coming out of vents can be controlled by
manually adjusting the louvers.
Depending upon selected temperature knob position on HVAC control panel, amount of air passing
through evaporator and heater is controlled. Finally both cold and hot air streams are mixed together
and are distributed further.
The Air conditioning sub-system uses closed circuit configuration based on Vapor Compression
Refrigeration Cycle. The system uses R134a as refrigerant and suitable lubricating oil. Refrigerant gets
circulated through a closed loop as long as air conditioner is in operation.

The A/C compressor used in system is of swash plate, fixed displacement Compressor. In this
compressor a fixed angle swash plate, attached to the drive shaft, rotates to reciprocate double acting
pistons. The axially reciprocating pistons suck refrigerant from suction side and deliver compressed
refrigerant to discharge side.
The compressor pulley is driven by the engine belt. If electromagnetic clutch is not engaged, drive
shaft does not rotate even as pulley keeps on rotating with engine through drive belt. Once electrically
energized, electromagnetic clutch engages and the rotary motion of the compressor pulley is
transferred to drive shaft which in turn starts reciprocating the pistons.
The A/C compressor is lubricated by refrigerant oil which circulates throughout the the system along
with the refrigerant.
When in operation, A/C compressor draws in low pressure and low-temperature refrigerant vapor
from the evaporator and compresses it to a high pressure and high-temperature refrigerant vapor,
which is then pumped to the condenser.
The condenser is basically a heat exchanger where atmospheric air flowing across its core is used to
cool the refrigerant flowing inside tubes. Electrical type condenser fan helps in ensuring sufficient air
flow through condenser core. Inside condenser, high-pressure and high-temperature refrigerant vapor
gets converted into high-pressure and moderate-temperature liquid in sub cooled state. Condenser
also has an integrated receiver/drier which removes impurities and moisture from circulating
refrigeration by using strainer and desiccant inside it.
The system uses block type of thermostatic expansion valve. While passing through metering orifice of
the thermostatic expansion valve, high pressure and moderate-temperature refrigerant liquid get
throttled to low-pressure and low temperature liquid. The refrigerant then flows to the evaporator.
Based upon pressure and temperature of refrigerant vapor coming out of evaporator, thermostatic
expansion valve regulates the amount of liquid refrigerant flowing towards evaporator.
Evaporator is also a heat exchanger where refrigerant flowing inside tubes is used to cool the cabin air
flowing across the evaporator core. While flowing through condenser low-pressure and low
temperature liquid refrigerant gets converted into low-pressure and low-temperature vapor in
superheated state. The cabin air while passing through the evaporator core gets cooler and gets

below the evaporator housing.
Finally this low-pressure and low-temperature refrigerant vapor gets sucked by A/C compressor and
the cycle repeats itself.
A trinary pressure switch is located on the liquid pipe connecting condenser to thermostatic expansion
valve. To prevent system failure, depending upon actual refrigerant pressure, the trinary pressure
switch makes compressor clutch get engaged or disengaged. Pressure switch shuts off compressor
when refrigerant pressure either exceeds a specified limit or if it falls below specified limit. It
allows/restarts the compressor if refrigerant pressure is within normal operating range. Additionally
the pressure switch starts condenser fan once refrigerant pressure exceed a specified limit and shuts it
off when refrigerant pressure falls below a specified limit.
A thermo sensor is provided, which depending upon the air temperature just besides the coolest
portion of evaporator core, makes compressor clutch get engaged or disengaged, in order to prevent
ice formation near evaporator. If cabin air temp just beside the evaporator falls below certain limit,
thermo sensor shuts the compressor off and restarts it again once air temperature rises back above
certain limit. These two specified temperature limits are lower in case AC High ('AC HI') switch is kept
on at HVAC control panel. Whereas, if at HVAC control panel, AC Low ('AC LO') is on, the above
specified limits are at little higher. Hence if 'AC HI' mode is selected, in comparison with 'AC LO' mode,
the cabin air temperature will be lower, compressor will remain engaged longer.
For recovering/recharging refrigerant and refrigerant oil, a high pressure side port located on liquid
pipe and a low pressure side charging port located on suction hose has been provided.
The evaporator cools the incoming air (re circulated or fresh) by fixed thermostat valve. The cooled air
later passes through the heater coil. The final air temperature is dependent on the amount of hot
water passing through the heater.
Heating sub-system
• Cabin Heater
• Heater inlet and outlet pipes
Cabin Heater is essentially a heat exchanger where hot engine coolant coming out of engine oil cooler
is passed through the heater tube which heats-up the cabin air flowing across the heater core. Engine
coolant keeps flowing through the heater as long as engine and hence water pump is in operation.

A/C Compressor
A/C Compressor is mounted on left-front side of the engine using four bolts. Rear port is suction port
on which suction hose is fitted, other end of which is connected to thermostatic expansion valve.
Front port is discharge port on which discharge hose is fitted, other end of which is connected to
condenser.
The compressor pulley is driven by the engine belt. If electromagnetic clutch is not engaged, drive
shaft does not rotate even as pulley keeps on rotating with engine through drive belt. Once electrically
energized, electromagnetic clutch engages and the rotary motion of the compressor pulley is
transferred to drive shaft which in turn starts reciprocating the pistons.
The compressor is lubricated by refrigerant oil which circulates throughout the refrigerant system
along with the refrigerant. When in operation, compressor draws in low pressure and low-
temperature refrigerant vapor from the evaporator and compresses it to a high pressure and high-
temperature refrigerant vapor, which is then pumped to the condenser.
Condenser
The condenser is basically a heat exchanger where atmospheric air flowing across its core is used to
cool the refrigerant flowing inside tubes. Between two tubes fins are provided which help in heat
transfer. Both radiator fan and condenser fan assist each other in ensuring sufficient air flow through
condenser core.
The repair methods given by the manufacturer in this document are based on the technical specifications, current at the time of release. The methods may be modified as a result of changes introduced by the

Condenser is located just in front of radiator and is mounted on radiator using four bolts. Rubber
isolator is used at all four joints to dampen the vibration. Condenser fan is mounted on condenser
itself.
Inside condenser, high-pressure and high temperature refrigerant vapor gets converted into high-
pressure and moderate-temperature liquid in sub cooled state. Condenser also has an integrated
receiver/drier which removes impurities and moisture from circulating refrigeration by using strainer
and desiccant inside it. Then the refrigerant flow is toward thermostatic expansion valve through
liquid pipe.
The electric cooling fan mounted on the A/C condenser increases airflow and assists in cooling the hot
refrigerant passing through the evaporator.
Receiver/Drier
Desiccant helps in removing moisture and other non condensable gases from circulating refrigerant.
Filter or strainer helps in removing impurities/debris from system.
Pressure Switch
Pressure switch is located on the liquid pipe connecting condenser to thermostatic expansion valve.
To prevent system failure, depending upon actual refrigerant pressure, the pressure switch makes
compressor clutch get engaged or disengaged.
High/Low Pressure Operation: Pressure switch shuts-off compressor when refrigerant pressure either
exceed a specified limit or if it falls below specified limit. It allows/restarts the compressor if
refrigerant pressure is within normal operating range. Medium Pressure Operation: The pressure
switch starts condenser fan once refrigerant pressure exceed a specified limit and shuts it off when
refrigerant pressure falls below a specified limit.
Thermostatic expansion valve is located near left side of dash panel. On cabin side evaporator inlet
and outlet pipes are connected to TXV housing and on engine compartment side, liquid pipe and
suction hose are connected.
TXV used is a box or block type of thermostatic expansion valve. While passing through metering
orifice of the thermostatic expansion valve, high pressure and moderate-temperature refrigerant
liquid coming from condenser get throttled to low pressure and low-temperature liquid. The
refrigerant then flows to the evaporator. Based upon pressure and temperature of refrigerant vapor
coming out of evaporator, thermostatic expansion valve regulates the amount of liquid refrigerant
flowing towards evaporator.

Evaporator
a. Evaporator Unit
b. Housing
Evaporator is located inside the climate box housing. Evaporator is basically a heat exchanger where
refrigerant flowing inside tubes is used to cool the cabin air flowing across the evaporator core. While
flowing through condenser low-pressure and low-temperature liquid refrigerant gets converted into
low-pressure and low-temperature vapor in superheated state. The cabin air while passing through
the evaporator core gets cooler and gets dehumidified. The condensate water gets drained off to
atmosphere through drain hose, located below the evaporator housing.
Thermo sensor
Thermo sensor, commonly known as 'antifreeze switch' or de-icing switch' is located on the climate
box housing and protrude inside such that sensor element is very near to evaporator core The thermo
sensor is provided, which depending upon the air temperature just besides the coolest portion of
evaporator core, makes compressor clutch get engaged or disengaged, in order to prevent ice
formation near evaporator. If cabin air temp just beside the evaporator falls below certain limit,
thermo sensor shuts the compressor off and restarts it again once air temperature rises back above
certain limit.
These two specified temperature limits are lower in case AC High ('AC HI') switch is kept on at HVAC
control panel. Whereas if at HVAC control panel, AC Low ('AC LO') is ON, the above specified limits are
little at higher. Hence if 'AC HI' mode is selected, in comparison with 'AC LO' mode, the cabin air
temperature will be lower, compressor will remain engaged longer.

Blower Motor
Blower motor is located inside the cabin just behind the glove box. Blower motor is electrically
operated and used to force circulate air throughout the air circulation sub-system. Higher the blower
speed, higher will be the air flow. Air flow volume or speed is controlled via a blower resistor and can
be adjusted by adjusting blower speed knob on HVAC control panel.
Heater
Heater is located inside the climate box housing. Cabin heater is essentially a heat exchanger where
hot engine coolant coming out of engine oil cooler is passed through the heater tube which heats-up
the cabin air flowing across the heater core. Engine coolant keeps flowing through the heater as long
as engine and hence water pump is in operation.
HVAC Filter
HVAC filter is Nylon mesh filter; it is located just above blower motor, which is behind the glove box.
Filter material used is made of Polyester and is electrostatic charged. Particulate matter present in the
fresh/cabin air is removed by filter before air gets sucked inside the system. Clean HVAC air filter
element every service interval under normal operating conditions. Under highly dusty or polluting
conditions, early cleaning will be required.

In Car Repairs
Air Conditioning System of this vehicle uses R134a (HFC-134a) as refrigerant and PAG (Polyalkylene
Glycol) Oil’ as refrigerant oil. The System is not compatible with any other refrigerant or oil. R134a is a
greenhouse gas hence once it is allowed to escape in atmosphere, it adversely affect environment by
contributing to global warming/ climate change. Hence utmost precautions should be taken during
service in order to prevent release of refrigerant into the atmosphere during maintenance, service,
repair and disposal of air-conditioning and refrigeration system /equipment.
Only trained technicians can service air conditioning system which requires refrigerant handling. They
should ensure that the required service practice is followed.
Only approved refrigerant handling equipments can be used for recovering, recycling, recharging or
reclaiming R134a.
Recovering refrigerant means removing refrigerant in any condition from system and storing it in an
external container without necessarily testing or processing it in any way. Recycling refrigerant means
extracting refrigerant from system and cleaning refrigerant for reuse without meeting all of the
requirements for reclamation.
The Refrigerant Recovery Unit (RRU) is utilized to discharge the vehicle refrigerant system. The RRU is
a wheeled cart that includes a pump, a special refrigerant recovery cylinder.
The following procedure is to be followed while recovering refrigerant and oil from the A/C system:
1. Park the vehicle near R134a Refrigerant Recovery/Recycling/Recharging machine. Switch the
engine off.
2. Empty the oil drain bottle of the machine; else make a note of the initial level of oil present in
the drain bottle.
3. Connect high pressure side hose of machine to high-side/discharge side charging port of the
vehicle. Connect low pressure side hose of machine to low-side/suction side charging port of
the vehicle.
4. Open the quick coupler valves on the hoses after they are connected to the system.
5. Check the manifold gauges readings on the machine. They should register pressure reading
above zero. If they are reading zero and/or machine is displaying message indication low
system pressure, then either the hose is not connected properly or quick coupler valves are
not opened or the air conditioning system of vehicle itself is empty.
6. Choose and press the appropriate button on the machine to recover refrigerant and oil from
A/C system of vehicle.
7. When the system has recovered to zero bars, the vacuum pump of the machine will start and
run until recovery is complete. The machine will continue the recovery till near vacuum is
created inside the A/C system. If pressure read by manifold gauges does not increase and does
not go above zero bars for minimum 5 minutes, it indicates successful recovery. After recovery
completion, the machine will go for oil drain. If recovery process is unsuccessful, it will have to
be repeated or the A/C system will have to be repaired for leak.

8. The machine will display amount of refrigerant and oil drained from the A/C system.
9. Check the oil drain bottle, and note the amount of oil that was removed from the A/C system.
This is the amount of new oil that must be charged into the A/C system after evacuation is
complete. Use only new/fresh oil to replace the oil removed during the recycling process.
Dispose of used oil according to local, state, and federal regulations.
10. Once refrigerant and oil recovery is complete, system is ready for evacuation.
• Evacuation and leak test ensure that the system does not leak under low pressure
conditions.
• Ensure that the hoses are connected to the charging ports and valves on the A/C lines. Tank
and manifold are open.
The following procedure should be followed while evacuating the A/C system:
1. Engine should be in “OFF” condition.
2. Ensure that both low and high side service hoses are connected with vehicle, and coupler
valves are open.
3. Choose and press the appropriate button on the R134a Refrigerant Recovery/Recycling/
Recharging machine to evacuate the A/C system of vehicle. The machine pulls a vacuum on
the vehicle A/C system to remove air, non condensable gases, moisture and contaminants that
may be present in the system.
4. To ensure adequate moisture and contaminant removal, adjust the evacuation time to
approximately 30 minutes. If moisture was able to enter an open system over an extended
period (several hours), increase the evacuation time to 2-3 hours after installing a new
receiver/drier cartridge.
5. Choose and select the appropriate button to either repeat/extend evacuation or to leak test
the system.
6. If pressure read by manifold gauges does not increase and does not go above -1.0 bars for
minimum 15 minutes, it indicates successful evacuation and that there is no system leak under
vacuum.
7. If evacuation process is unsuccessful, it will have to be repeated or the A/C system will have to
be repaired for leak. After leak repair system will again have to be evacuated and leak tested.
8. Once evacuation is complete, system is ready for oil/refrigerant charging; else system can be
repaired as required.

In case the system has got ruptured, compressor has to be replaced or refrigerant/oil is suspected of
being contaminated, the system should be checked for contamination. If found contaminated, after
the refrigerant reclamation, the entire system must be flushed with Nitrogen. After Nitrogen purging
the A/C system needs to be evacuated again before proceeding further. Compressed air must never
be used for this purpose, which may produce flammable mixture.
Oil may be refilled through the high side after system evacuation or with an oil injection tool after
charging refrigerant inside the vehicle. 'Daphne Hermetic FD46XG PAG Oil’ should only be used to
charge the system.
Only new/fresh oil used to replace the oil which was removed from A/C system during the recycling
process. Note that PAG oil is highly hygroscopic in nature. Hence open the PAG oil containers only
when they are ready to use and cover the containers with the cap immediately after usage. Avoid PAG
oil contacting the bare skin or vehicle body. It is toxic and corrosive in nature. If no system
components are to be repaired/ replaced charge only the amount of oil that was removed from the
system during the recovery process. If no oil was removed from the system during recovery, do not
charge any oil into the A/C system.
However if system components have to be replaced, following additional amounts have to be
replenished in the system in order to compensate the oil which might have remained inside the
replaced component:-
Condenser: additional 20 cc
Receiver/Drier: additional 20 cc
Evaporator: additional 20 cc
For each pipe: additional 10cc

After refrigerant recharge, to detect any system leaks, Electronic Leak Detectors can be used. These
detectors have got sensitivity levels of 4 g/year (0.15 oz/year). Manufacturer's instructions should be
followed while using these detectors.
Good ventilation before leak detection is necessary in the area where it is to be performed. If the
surrounding air is contaminated with refrigerant gas, the leak detector will indicate this gas all the
time. Vapors of other chemicals such as engine coolant/antifreeze, diesel fuel, brake cleaner, or other
cleaning solvents can also cause the similar problems. Also while detecting leak, any air flow around
vehicle must be prevented.
Leak detecting probe should be slowly run through full refrigerant circuit to detect any leakage. More
focus should be given to all the fastened joints near compressor, thermostatic expansion valve,
condenser and evaporator. Region near both filling/ charging ports should also be checked. As the
R134a is heavier than air, any leakage might be more apparent at the bottom of a leakage point.
If receiver drier has been replaced, condenser including the region around integrated receiver drier
bottle plug should be checked for leakage. To detect possible leakage from evaporator assembly, bring
the detector’s probe near to evaporator. Also blower resistor and thermo sensor can be removed and
probe can be brought near this to detect refrigerant leaking through evaporator. Leak from
evaporator may also get detected by bringing probe near outlet of drain hose located underbody, just
below climate box assembly.
In case leakage is detected from HVAC system, repair should be done only after recovering the entire
refrigerant from system.
If no refrigerant leakages are found system’s cabin cooling performance can be evaluated.
Inspect for leaks by slowly moving the probe of the detector around all the hose connections and
points of possible leakages. The R134a is heavier than air. Hence any leakage will be more apparent at
the bottom of the fitting.

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.

Description
The SUV SC/DC vehicle is equipped with a driver and front passenger airbag. Vehicles fitted with this
equipment can be identified by the "SRS - AIRBAG" logo in the center of the steering wheel and on the
instrument panel above the glove box. Vehicles with the airbag system can also be identified by the
airbag indicator, which will illuminate in the instrument cluster for about two seconds as a self test
each time the ignition switch is turned ON.
The airbag is an active safety device, which consists of a flexible envelope that is designed to inflate
rapidly in case of a collision, thus preventing the occupants from colliding with interior objects or parts
such as the steering wheel or window. The SUV SC/DC is equipped with dual stage airbags for both
driver and passenger sides.
Seat Belt is basically a harness that when worn will prevent the wearer from being throw from the
seat in the event of a collision or sudden movement. The SUV/SC/DC uses a 3 point seat belt for both
the front and rear seats. The seat belts when worn will prevent the occupant from injury and make the
airbag effective. They are termed as passive safety system.
Buckle is a quick release connector which fastens occupants when the seat belt is used. The seat belt
assembly includes buckles, fasteners and a hardware designed for installing the seat belt assembly in
the vehicle. The buckle is a quick release connector which fastens the occupant with the seat belt. The
seat belt system can with stand high loads during a crash.

Airbag ECU
The Airbag ECU is secured with mounting bolts
located under the center console assembly near
the hand brake lever. The electronic circuitry is
located in the hollow center of the die-cast
aluminum Airbag ECU housing. The electronic
circuitry includes a microprocessor, an electronic
impact sensor, electromechanical inertia sensor,
and an energy storage capacitor. The stamped
metal cover plate is secured to bottom of the
Airbag ECU with mounting bolts to enclose and
protect the internal electronic circuitry and the

Airbag
The airbag provides supplemental restraint to the occupants during 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 the collision detecting sensor. The inflated cushion absorbs
energy of the driver or passenger and prevents the body from hard point contact in the vehicle.

NOTE: Above [A] & [B] are the examples of the safest methods of holding
Airbag modules & seat belt pre-tensioner.
The Airbag components do not require any regular maintenance. However special procedure is to be
followed to service / repair airbag and airbag related components.
The airbag and seat belt pre-tensioner are designed to inflate only once. If the airbags deploy, do the
airbags or related components replacement through an authorized Mahindra Dealer only.
Whether you're working on airbag systems or just around them, following a few general rules goes a
long way toward preventing injuries and incurring unnecessary costs. You don't have to be riding in a
vehicle to be smacked in the face with an exploding airbag. A bag can deploy in your service bay as you
work on or near it, which is why it is extremely important to take the proper precautions. If you do,
you'll be taking a big step toward avoiding being injured by a device designed to prevent serious
injury.
Disconnecting the negative battery cable is the first essential step toward preventing accidental
deployment when working on or near airbag systems. In fact, it's the primary precaution
recommended to emergency service personnel attempting to remove injured people from crashed
cars with un-deployed airbags.
All you need to know about preventing injury while working on or around airbag systems. In SUV,
removing the battery negative cable is not recommended as it is linked to Audio preset, DDAS preset
and Anti pinch window settings. Hence in a non-emergency situation, as in a service bay, the airbags
should deactivated by the manufacturers recommended procedures using the diagnostic tool.
To prevent any accidental triggering whilst working on or near airbags, airbag components or pre-
tensioner, lock the airbag computer using the diagnostic tool. When this function is activated, all the
trigger lines are inhibited and the airbag warning light on the instrument cluster lights up continuously
(when ignition on).

When working underneath the vehicle (on the bodywork, sill panel, etc.) or for certain operations
involving removal or refitting of seat trims, it is essential to lock the airbag computer using the
diagnostic tool and to disconnect the battery.
Some airbags can deploy even if the battery is disconnected. This reserve electrical energy is built into
some systems to enable the airbags to deploy in the event the battery is destroyed in a front-end
collision. Generally, the reserve energy lasts for about two minutes. It is advised to wait 10 minutes or
more before assuming an airbag system has been deactivated.
An Airbag that has been removed from a vehicle should never be installed in any other vehicle. We do
not recommend reuse of airbag/ pre-tensioner or any of its components. It must be noted that;
An airbag may not work effectively even when it is taken from a vehicle of same make, model and
year of manufacturing.
The difference between airbag systems are much more than just the trim covers enclosing them.
Installation of wrong airbag module or improper installation could increase the risk of serious
injury or death during collision.
Any modification of airbag module, like; incorrect mounting, airbag size, inflator module output,
airbag vent size, airbag folding method or painting the cover surface could have adverse effect on
protection offered by airbag.
The removal, handling, storage and deployment of airbags require special care. Only trained
professionals should perform this work. Personnel performing these operations should wear
appropriate protection.
Only trained technicians should perform this work. Personnel performing these operations should
wear appropriate protection, including eye and ear protection, during airbag deployment.
Do not dispose of a live (un-deployed or partially deployed) airbag through normal disposal
channels until after it has been fully deployed.
The airbags and pre-tensioner must be checked using the diagnostic tool :
- after an accident,
- after theft or attempted theft of the vehicle,
- Before selling a used vehicle.

Cushion inflated provide occupant restraint.
Time sequence: 25-50 milliseconds.
SUV is equipped with a seat belt pre-tensioner and load limiter for driver and co-driver seats which
works along with SRS and is also controlled by airbag ECU. The pre-tensioner and load limiter is
located in each front seat belt retractor. Pre-tensioner are triggered / ignited only when there is
frontal crash severe enough to deploy the front airbags. The pre-tensioner tighten the front seat belts
on the occupant’s body and reduce the seat belt slack and thus helps to reduce the injury on the
occupant in case of a frontal accident. After the pre-tensioner of the seat belts are activated the load
limiters allows the seat belt to release webbing (if necessary) to reduce the forces against the chest, so
that the occupant is cushioned by a fully inflated airbag.
The pyrotechnic seat belt retractor contains a micro gas generator, initiator unit (squib) and other
components of the seat belt system. The micro gas generating device is a pyrotechnic material sealed
within a small metal capsule housed in the retractor unit.
The ignition unit initiates a chemical reaction, which creates gases that drive a series of ball bearings in
the retractor assembly forward, applying tension to the buckle and reducing seat belt slack. The
reduced seat belt slack protects the occupant in a frontal accident, which reduces the risk of injuries.
RPLL type Seat belts should be used only with Airbags. These belts basically comprise 2 elements.
Roto Pre-tensioner –
The main function of a Pre-tensioner is to remove slack from the belt in the event of an accident to
reduce forward movement of the occupant. The Pre-tensioner is incorporated in the seat belt inertia
reels, also known as "pyrotechnic inertia reels". The Pre-tensioner assembly consists of a ball cage
comprising of a tube of steel balls surrounding a toothed wheel.

Removing or deploying airbags before scrapping a vehicle eliminates the potential for hazardous
exposures or reactions during processing. A live airbag initiator can potentially discharge even after it
is separated from the airbag assembly during processing. Airbags that have not been fully deployed
can cause human injury, damage to equipment, and contamination of air and water systems. If special
handling procedures are followed, airbags can be safely deployed and then recycled with the rest of
the vehicle or shipped separately to a recycling facility.
Vehicle manufacturers recommend in vehicle deployment as the safest and most time efficient
method for neutralization of Airbag devices. If the local conditions specifically disallow in vehicle
deployment, dismantling is the alternative method. However, in case of dismantling of airbag devices
it is absolutely essential to use utmost care and to comply with the important safety warnings listed in
this document.
Situations may arise that require the disposal of a live (un-deployed or partially deployed) airbag. If
the entire vehicle is to be scrapped, the airbag should be deployed within the vehicle. If the vehicle is
to be used again, the airbag may be removed from the vehicle and then fully deployed outside of the
vehicle.
All airbag devices have been manufactured in accordance with applicable international laws. They may
only be disassembled by suitably qualified personnel who must follow appropriate procedures defined
by the manufacturer.
Where End-of-Life Vehicles with airbag devices are due for recycling and disposal, care must be taken
to ensure that the airbag modules, seat belt pre-tensioner are neutralized.
Un-deployed airbag components must never be removed from vehicles for reuse as spare parts, nor
must they ever be modified or repaired.
It is essential that all relevant health and safety regulations together with the vehicle manufacturers'
instructions for the deployment and safe disposal of airbag components be observed.
Information, safety and instruction materials, provided by the vehicle and airbag manufacturers, as
well as the attendance of training courses can be a suitable means of acquiring the necessary
expertise.
Vehicle dismantlers must ensure that all employees handling airbag components, and their
supervisors, familiarize themselves with the information and instruction material. It is strongly
recommended to let employees confirm in writing the receipt of and familiarity with the relevant
documentation and safety/handling instructions.

When the airbag is deployed, there may be a loud noise and fine dust will be released through
the instruments. These conditions are normal and not hazardous. However fine dust generated
during airbag deployment may cause skin irritation. Be sure to wash off any residue with a
lukewarm water and soap after airbag is deployed due to an accident.
No objects (like mobile charger, mobile phones etc.) should be placed over or near the airbag
modules. Placing objects over or near the airbag may cause the objects to be propelled by the
airbag onto your face or chest, causing serious injury.
Airbag components may be hot for several minutes after deployment. Do not touch the airbag
components immediately after deployed.
Mahindra & Mahindra will not take responsibility for any potential injury or loss related to the
Airbag replacement if the tasks are not performed as per given instructions.
As the solid propellant burns, the airbag module may heat up and vent
hot gas.
Always wear gloves and safety glasses during handling of airbag
devices.
Because of peak noise levels during deployment there is a potential risk
to hearing. Always wear ear protection during deployment.
Any persons who may be affected by the resulting noise shall be
warned in advance.
Always wash hands after handling deployed airbag devices.
Deployment and associated activities shall only be performed by
trained personnel.
A safe distance of at least six meters from the vehicle has to be
maintained during the deployment of airbag devices.
Electrostatic discharge could cause an inadvertent deployment and
personal injury. Prevent static build up and control static discharge.
Proper personal, facility and equipment grounding can help to prevent
any potential build-up of electrostatic energy. The use of wrist straps is
recommended.
Be sure not to leave anything on the instrument panel near the
passenger’s seat.
Gases and particulates are generated during the deployment of
pyrotechnic devices. After deployment and before any other removal
operations are carried out inside the vehicle – the doors should be
opened to thoroughly ventilate the vehicle.

If the local conditions specifically disallow in vehicle deployment, removal is the alternative method.
However, in case of removal of airbag devices it is indispensable to use utmost care and to comply
with the important safety warnings listed below.
Removal should only be done by trained personnel in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions
and forwarded to specially approved disposal operators. Storing and shipping of un-deployed airbag
devices must be done in accordance with local and national regulations.
Only those employees that are in possession of the necessary expertise are permitted to remove un-
deployed airbag components. On removal from the vehicle airbag components must be stored in
accordance with applicable local regulations / laws.
Electrostatic discharge could cause an inadvertent deployment and personal injury. Prevent static
build up and control static discharge. Proper personal, facility and equipment grounding can help to
prevent any potential build-up of electrostatic energy. The use of wrist straps is recommended.
The removed airbag module can become a dangerous projectile when deployed. That is the reason
why airbag modules must always be positioned with the surface from which the bag emerges
orientated uppermost or turned away from the body. Always hold side impact modules in vertical
position with cover facing away from you and wires in hand. Be sure not to put any item on the
removed airbag device.
Airbags and seat-belt pre-tensioner must never be exposed to temperatures in excess of 80°C, even
for short periods of time. All airbag components must be kept away from ignition sources, including
flames; other high temperature sources; and electrical discharges.
Never cover or block exhausts ports. Never set inflators down so that the exhaust ports are covered or
blocked.
Avoid excessive mechanical load (e.g. by compressing) and do not drop airbag components.
