General Informations

1. Health and Safety Precautions –

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.

Air Conditioning Refrigerant

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.

Adhesives and Sealers

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.

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

SUV/SC/DC L6 July 2012/Rev 1

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.

Corrosion Protection Materials

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.

Fuel Handling Precautions

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.

Trouble Shooting
Refer to the Service diagnosis chart. Additional tests & diagnostic procedures may be necessary for
specific engine complaints that cannot be isolated using only the diagnostic chart.

Information concerning the additional checks is provided within the following diagnostic.

Cylinder compression pressure Test


The results of the cylinder compression test can be utilized to diagnose several engine malfunctions.

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

 Remove Injector from the cylinder you want to measure compression from. Insert the Dummy
Injector in place of the Original Injector.
 Mount the Universal Adapter to Dummy Injector one end and on Gauge at other End. Hold the
throttle plate open.
 Crank the engine over a few times until the needle on the gauge stops climbing. Record the final
reading
Sr No. Engine Type Compression value in Compression value in
PSI Kg/cm2

Engine cylinder Head Gasket Failure Diagnosis


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

An engine cylinder head gasket leak can be:


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

Cylinder head gasket failure between cylinders is indicated by Loss of power and /or engine misfiring.
Cylinder head gasket leaking between a cylinder and coolant passage results in coolant foaming or
overheating and loss of coolant indicate leakage in engine water jackets.

Cylinder to Cylinder Leakage Test


Check the cylinder compression pressure as already explained. Leakage between cylinders will be
result in drop of compression pressure by nearly 50 to 70% in the affected cylinders.

Cylinder to Water jacket Leakage Test

• Remove the radiator cap.


• Warm up the engine and allow it to warm up until the engine thermostat opens.
• If large combustion /combustion pressure leak exist, bubbles will be visible in coolant.

Care of the System


The performance of the engine is dependent on ensuring that the following maintenance is carried out
as per the schedule without fail.

Accessory Belt: The belt system employs an auto Tensioner. Hence no tension adjustment is required.
The belt for the HVAC is having a manual Tensioner. This needs to be checked at every 10,000 KMs &
readjusted if required. The manual Tensioner bearing needs to be replaced at every 80,000 Km

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

Oil: The oil should conform to CH4 grade and with a viscosity Index of SAE 15W40. It should be kept in
mind that in the turbocharger engine the oil has to have do an additional load of lubricating and cooling
the Turbocharger shaft If any oil of lower specification is used it can break down under the high thermal
load at the turbine end of the shaft especially during the hot shutdown.

This oil grade also ensures that the oil consumption is within the desire limits. Use Maximile Supreme
Grade of oils. The Oil change intervals are first at 5000 KMs. & then subsequently every 15000 KMs.

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

Turbocharger: The engine is having 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.

• Check the vacuum hoses for any leaks, cracks.

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

As this engine is equipped with HLA with RFF (Hydraulic tappets); Tappet setting is not required.

Refer below maintenance schedule activities to be carried during vehicle regular maintenance -

Repair Manual MAN-00196
SUV/SC/DC L6 July 2012/Rev 1
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

Vacuum Modulator Valve

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

EGR Mixer Assembly

The EGR Mixer mixes intake air with exhaust gas. The EGR
assembly has an convergent-divergent construction at the
place where the EGR gas comes and mixes with the fresh
air. After this the mixture passes through a divergent path
that helps in retaining the pressure drop faced in the
convergent zone.

Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Cooler

A. EGR Cooler B. Electrical EGR valve with position feedback sensor C. Coolant Inlet
D. Coolant Outlet E. Pneumatic Actuator F. EGR Gas Outlet

The EGR cooler cools the exhaust gases before it is re


circulated into the engine. The exhaust gas passes through a
EGR cooler. The coolant flowing through the EGR cooler
takes away the heat and reduces the temperature. EGR
cooler is coupled with electrical EGR valve. The electrical
EGR valve is operated by DC motor and has got a position
sensor.

Working of Crankcase Ventilation System –

The ventilation system is closed ventilation type. A hose connects the sump assembly to the oil
separator. There are two oil separators in series. First the oil vapor goes to the labyrinth oil separator. In
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.

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

1. Oil Pan

The oil pan is the reservoir for the oil and also
covers for the crank case. It is secured to the engine
block by bolts. A liquid sealant is used to provide a
leak proof joint.

2. Oil Strainer

Oil strainer is the first stage in the filtration of the


lubricant. It filters the minute dust particles present
in the oil before it enters the oil pump.

3. Oil Pump

The oil pump is driven by the crankshaft. It pumps


engine oil throughout the engine and returns to the
sump. The gear rotor type pump consists of an outer
rotor with inner teeth and an inner rotor with outer
teeth. The inner rotor has one tooth less than the
outer rotor and is connected to the drive shaft
which is located eccentrically with respect to the
rotor pump The teeth of the inner rotor are shaped
so that each tooth comes into contact with the
outer rotor and more or less seals off the chambers
that are created. Due to the rotation of the rotors,
the chambers on the intake side are continuously
enlarged.

As the pump draws in oil, the chambers become smaller on the delivery side. The oil is forced into the
pressure line. The oil is simultaneously fed to the pressure line by several narrowing pump cells. It can
generate high pressures at high feed rates.

4.Oil Filter

The oil filter traps the impurities and foreign


particles that may be present in the oil.

Description and Operation of Engine Components –

Engine Overview

A. Turbo Intercooler B. Turbocharger C. A/C compressor


D. Power steering pump E. Viscous fan F. Alternator
G. EGR cooler mixer

Cylinder Block

The Cylinder block is the basic building of an engine. It is the


place where the power is produced and delivered.
Essentially the cylinder block forms a housing for most of
the components of the engine like crank shaft, connecting
rod, piston, piston pin etc. its also houses the water jacket
and main oil galleries, Which takes away the excess heat
and disperses it to the atmosphere. Since the engine block
is always exposed to high pressure and temperature and
hence is made of strong materials like cast iron.

The four cylinder liners are made of grey cast iron and installed individually in the cylinder block. They
are interchangeable. The cylinder liners are directly swept with coolant (wet type).

Together with the compression chamber in the cylinder head and the piston crown, the cylinder forms
the combustion chamber. The cylinder's task is to guide the piston and to dissipate surplus heat which

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.

Piston

The task of the piston is to receive the pressure forces that


arise as a result of the combustion of the air/fuel mixture
and to transfer them via the piston pin and the connecting
rod to the crankshaft.
The piston has to provide the moving seal between the
combustion chamber and the crank case. Due to its up and
down movement it creates vacuum to induce the air and
then compress it. The main task however is to transmit the
pressure of the combustion gases through the connecting
rod to the crankshaft. Accordingly the piston has to be light
in weight in order to minimize the inertia forces and also be able to withstand the combustion heat and
dissipate it. Its thermal expansion should not be too high as otherwise it could stick to the cylinder bore.
The piston has the following components, the crown, the ring zone, the skirt and the pin bore. The
crown is the top most part of the piston which is subjected to the greatest thermal and pressure loads.
The crown also has the combustion chamber incorporated into it. It also has grooves cut on it to make
way for the valves when they are fully open.
In the ring zone 3 rings ensure a good sealing in the cylinder. It minimizes the quantity of the
combustion gasses that is escaping to the crank case. The piston skirt guides the piston in the bore.
The rings also prevent the lubricating oil from getting into the combustion chamber. The piston bore
accommodates the piston pin which connects piston to the connecting rod. There are two types of
rings, one is the compression rings and other one is oil ring. Compression rings are located at the top on
the piston. They are intended to ensure the gas-tight seal possible to the combustion chamber.
Compression rings include the plain compression ring at the top and second is having an inside bevel
and taper-face. The lower piston rings are the oil scraper rings. These prevent oil from penetrating into
the combustion chamber. The oil scraper rings include the slotted oil control ring (with oil passage to
the insides of the piston) and the oil ring with an expander or spiral-type expander (narrow running

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.

SUV/SC/DC L6 July 2012/Rev 1
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.

Roller Finger Follower (RFF) and


Hydraulic Lash Adjuster (HLA) Assembly
A. Valve
B. Valve Spring
C. Hydraulic Lash Adjuster (HLA)
D. Roller Finger Follower (RFF)
The RFF and HLA assembly together provide zero clearance
between the valve stem and roller follower. The HLA damps
the spring return force when the valve closes (comes back
to original position). This will result in noiseless and smooth
operation of valve opening and closing.
The HLA is operated by hydraulics (oil). Oil for the HLA is provided from the oil gallery. During valve
closing the cam force initially presses the HLA down, then the valve is opened. When the valve opens
the HLA dampens the spring force by moving HLA up and down. As the valve stem gets worn off the HLA
moves up and maintains the zero clearance between valve stem and roller follower. Thus by this actions
RFF and HLA provides noiseless the valve closing and opening operation.

Valve Gear Drive

The main function of the engine timing is to coordinate the


induction of the fresh gases and expulsion of the exhaust
gases. The valve gear drives the camshafts by taking drive
from the crankshaft via a timing chain. The timing chain
transmits the motion with comparatively less noise and
better efficiency. The chain and the tensioner are subjected
to minimal wear and maintenance is unnecessary. In
extreme cases when the chain wears out it is replaced.

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.

Intake Air Throttle


A. Aluminum body B. Metallic flap
C. Manifold inlet

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.

Viscous Fan

The 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
rotates and supplies air to the radiator that cools the engine
coolant.

The viscous fan is placed behind the radiator core. The


viscous fan drive engages or disengages depending upon
temperature of air reaching the bimetallic coil on fan, after
passing through radiator core.

The viscous coupling works in the principle that 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 falls down, fan
is disconnected from the pulley and rotated freely from 80 to 90%.

High Pressure Pump (HPP)

A. Pump outlet B. Pump overflow


C. Gear feed pump D. Pump inlet
E. Drive shaft F. Metering unit

The HPP is driven by the engine timing chain. The sprocket


bolted to the main shaft of the HPP is also marked while
setting the timing of the engine. The HPP pumps in the
required quantity of the fuel into the common rail. The HPP
is not a serviceable component.

Water Pump

The centrifugal type water pump is provided with the


impeller which is formed by seven vanes. The impeller is
placed inside an in volute casing. The drive for the water
pump is taken from the crank shaft (damper pulley) via belt
with the ratio of 1:31. The water pump is a non serviceable
component.

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


Main Bearing Bolts - 10 no Maximum length 90.6/89.4mm
Connecting rod bolt s- 8 no replace every time
Flywheel bolts - 6no Maximum length 29.58/30.42 mm

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

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

Cylinder head gasket –

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

The gasket can be assembled any face up or down. However it is suggested that the face with the
numbers should be facing up.

Piston & Rings –

While fitting the piston rings ensure that the rings end gap are staggered in 120°.

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

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

Description and Operation
By virtue of suction created in the system, air is drawn through the intake hose. The unfiltered air enters the air 
cleaner housing at the bottom and leaves through the top after passing through a filter element. The filter ele‐
ment  has  multiple  filtering  media  layers  which  have  different  porosities  and  cleaning  efficiencies.  Dust  and 
other fine particles sucked inside along with air get trapped in the air cleaner while passing through the filter 
element. 
After  filtration  the  air  enters  the  turbocharger.  The  turbocharger  compresses  the  air  and  pushes  it  into  the 
intercooler assembly, here the heated air is cooled by the draft coming from the bonnet scoop. At the outlet 
of  the  intercooler  is  a  boost  temperature  sensor  which  gives  the  feedback  for  the  temperature  of  air.  The 
cooled  air  now  passes  through  the  EGR  mixer/Throttle  valve  assembly  into  the  intake  manifold.  The  intake 
manifold pressure is sensed by the boost pressure sensor.

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

 Air Intake Throttle
To  achieve  stringent  emission  norms,  it  is  necessary 
to  re‐circulate  more  EGR  gases  into  the  system.  In

less  and  this  limits  the  amount  of  EGR  that  is  fed

into  the  engine.  Here  the  air  intake  throttle  is  used 
to enable the flow of EGR gases even at low exhaust 
back pressure conditions, by  restricting  the fresh  air 
flow.
C The opening and closing of the throttle is controlled 
by  EMS  ECU  based  on  the  amount  of  EGR  flow  and 
the  back  pressure  of  exhaust  gas.  The  throttle  valve 
has  a  DC  motor,  a  metallic  flap  (aluminum  body), 
gear  arrangements  to  transfer  the  motion  from  the 
DC  motor  to  flap,  and  a  hall  effect  sensor  that

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

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

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. 

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

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).

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

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.

Cooling system leakage test
1.  Force  low  air  pressure  into  the  system  which  cause  the  coolant  to  pour  or  drip  from  any  leak  in  the 
system. 

NOTICE
Should  not  over  pressurize  the  system,  since  this  may  lead  to  leakages  and  bursting  of  the  coolant  hos‐
es. Refer to the pressure ratings prior to the test.

2.  Using  the  pressure  tester  which  is  essentially  a  hand‐operated  air  pump,  pressurize  the  system  for  leak 
detection. 

NOTICE
Refer  to  the  pressure  ratings  of  the  system/cap  before  pressuring  an  external  tester/device,  else  it  will 
damage the hose leading to leakage.

Description and Operation
The common rail diesel injection system is a  pressure accumulator  fuel injection system in which production 
of pressure and fuel injection are decoupled.
In this system, the fuel pressure is continuously available at the injectors at all times of operation.
The  system  consists  of  a  high‐pressure  system  with  a  common  rail  diesel  pump,  a  fuel  rail  (fuel  injection 
supply  manifold)  with  the  high  pressure  fuel  lines,  electrically  controlled  fuel  injectors,  low‐pressure  system 
with  the  fuel supply, return lines,  and pressure  regulating valve. The fuel  filter unit includes  fuel filter, water 
in fuel sensor, fuel , fuel temperature sensor and fuel priming unit.
Generation  of  pressure  and  fuel  injection  are  performed  separately  on  the  common  rail  diesel  fuel  injection 
system.  Because  of  this,  the  increase  of  injection  pressure  is  largely  independent  of  engine  speed  and 
injection quantity.

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 
B
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. 
D This  reduces  noise  while  having  the  advantage  of 
lesser  particulate  emissions.  The  injectors  are

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 
A. Sedimenter lock nut water  needs  to  be  drained  off.The  fuel  filter 
B. Fuel filter assembly also consist of the fuel temperature sensor 
and feed pump primer. The purpose of the primer is 
to bleed the air in the fuel system during servicing. .

Fuel Feed Primer
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.
• Fit the diesel cap and tighten.

Care of the System
The maintenance should be performed as per the schedule to maintain the performance of the fuel system.
In  general,  the  fuel  injection  system  depends  on  supply  of  clean  diesel  for  proper  functioning  of  the  fuel 
system. 
Fuel Filter
The  fuel  filter  is  equipped  with  a  water  separator.  If 
the  water  indication  is  displayed  on  the  instrument 
panel,  then  the  water  should  be  immediately 
drained.  Water  sediments  which  get  accumulated  at 
bottom  of  the  fuel  filter  should  be  drained  when 
indicator comes on in the instrument cluster.

NOTICE
The  precision  finished  internal  components  of 
the HPP (fuel system) depends on the lubricating 
A
property of diesel. Care has to be taken to avoid 
the  presence  of  water  in  the  system.  Regularly 
drain  the  water  in  the  fuel  filter.  If  this  is  not 
done,  the  water  present  in  the  fuel  may  break 
A.  Fuel Filter Water Sedimenter down the fuel components and lead to seizure.

Exhaust After Treatment System ‐ Overview

A.  Diesel Oxi‐Cat ‐ Diesel Particulate Filter C.  Gasket


B.  Flexible Coupling D.  Muffler
Overview Description
The Exhaust After Treatment System comprises of the Engine Exhaust Manifold, Diesel Oxidation Catalyst‐Diesel 
Particulate Filter, Flexible Coupling, Muffler and Exhaust Tailpipe. 
As  the  exhaust  gases  pass  through  the,  chemical  reaction  occur,  and  the  Carbon  Monoxide  (CO),  gaseous 
Hydrocarbons (HC) and liquid HC particles (unburned and oil) are oxidized, thus reducing harmful emissions.
Then the exhaust passes through the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) where the accumulated Diesel Particulate 
Matter (DPM) or Soot from the Diesel Engine Exhaust is removed by active regeneration process.
The filter systems integrated in the Exhaust After Treatment System consist of 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  Engine  Management  System  Electronic  Control  Unit  (EMS  ECU)  receives  input  signals  from  the  Nitrogen 
Oxide Oxygen (O2) sensors which are mounted on the Exhaust After Treatment System.

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

B.  Electrically  Operated  Motor  with  Position  E.  Pneumatic Actuator
Feedback Sensor  F.  EGR Outlet
C.  Cooling Water Inlet G.  EGR Inlet
Description and Operation
EGR recirculates a part of the engine’s exhaust back into the engine at a lower temperature. The cooled gases 
have  a  higher  heat  capacity  and  contain  less  oxygen  than  air,  lowering  combustion  temperatures,  thus 
reducing the formation of NOx. 
The EGR Cooler is coupled with the electrically operated EGR with position feedback sensor which is operated 
by a DC motor and provided with a position sensor. The position of the EGR pneumatic actuator is controlled 
by the EMS ECU to meet the air mass requirement. The difference between the desired and current positions 
of the EGR pneumatic actuator is corrected by the duty cycle from the EMS ECU. The exhaust gases that flow 
via  the  EGR  pneumatic  actuator  is  circulated  through  the  EGR  cooler  attached  to  it.  Water  taken  from  the 
cylinder head is used as a cooling medium.
The  EGR  cooler  also  has  a  by‐pass  valve  which  is  operated  by  a  pneumatic  actuator.  If  the  EMS  ECU  decides 
not to cool the EGR in an operating point, it sends the duty cycle accordingly to the pressure modulator. This 
in turn controls the vacuum supply to the pneumatic actuator and activates the bypass valve. In this case, the 
EGR gases bypass the EGR cooler and are directly sent to the EGR mixture.

SUV/SC/DC L6 July 2012/Rev1
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.
Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
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.

The clutch cover is a diaphragm type with one-piece construction.

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.

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

While topping up use the recommended fluid conforming to DOT 3 specifications only. Avoid mixing
different brands.

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

The following maintenance activities needs to be done on Clutch System during Service intervals –

• CLUTCH FLUID LEVEL & LEAK - INSPECT

• CLUTCH FLUID LEVEL & LEAK – REPLACE

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

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

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

Clutch Problem Causes –

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

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

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

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

Clutch misalignment –

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

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 or whole of the present

Repair Manual MAN-00196
SUV/SC/DC L6 July 2012/Rev 1

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.

Some of the common reasons for excessive runout are –

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

Clutch cover & Disc runout –

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

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

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

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

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

Clutch Housing Misalignment –

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

 Normally the clutch housing misalignment is a result of:


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

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

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.

Some of the common reasons for excessive runout are:


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

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

 No dirt and grease present on the mounting face (it can cause cocking & run out)
 The flywheel bolts have been replaced.
 Torque tightened as per sequence and also the angular tightening as per the specification is done.

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

Clutch cover & Disc 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.

Clutch Housing Misalignment –

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

 Normally the clutch housing misalignment is a result of:


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

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

Flywheel --

If the flywheel is found to be having minor scoring then it can be resurfaced. However the maximum
allowed cut is 0.076 mm. If scoring is deeper than 0.0076mm 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.

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

• Do not use a gas flame to cut. It can cause local overheating of flywheel.
• The ring gear has to be heated in an oven to get uniform expansion. (Nearly 191°C)
• 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.

Description

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 
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

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 
surfaces  such  as  ice,  snow,  gravel,  sand  and  dry 
pavement.  Front  and  rear  drive  shafts  are  locked

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

Self diagnosis of ECU:
ECU detects transfer case system malfunctions and indicates malfunctioning part(s) through flashing indicator 
lights. The operator will be alerted of fault condition by continuous illumination of both 4WD HI and 4WD LO 
lights on dashboard when ignition is On. 
A  service  connector  is  provided  to  indicate  the  fault  codes  in  binary.  Connect  one  end  to  the  pin  hole 
number 9 in ECU connector, and other end to the ignition switch. The flashing of indicator light will show the 
defective code (as illustrated in the table). Identify the malfunctioning part and replace it.

NOTICE
Before replacing the malfunctioning parts with defective codes, check the wires and connectors for proper 
condition. 
Use only 12v 3-watt bulb for diagnostic purpose.

If  only  one  part  is  malfunctioning,  the  indicator  light  will  display  defective  code  three  times  continuously.  If 
more than two parts are malfunctioning, the first malfunctioning part will be displayed three times and then 
the other malfunctioning parts will be displayed.
After  repair  clear  the  fault  stored  in  the  memory.  Ground  the  service  connector  and  keep  ignition  'On'  for 
five seconds continuously to erase defective code.
Connect a service connector as described earlier. Turn the ignition switch On. 4WD CHECK indicator will turn 
On for 0.6 seconds and turn Off for 3 seconds. Then it will display a defective code 3 times continuously.

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

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.

Description

The Propeller Shaft is of a split type with companion flanges at both the ends. Propeller shaft provides
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.

The view of the propeller shaft is shown below –

General Procedure
Assembling the split Propeller Shaft

This procedure should be followed to avoid straining of the centre bearing.

Failure to follow the procedure will cause transmission noise and premature failure of the
centre bearing.

1. While locating the center bearing assembly keep the bolts loose in the slot of the Chassis.
2. Fix and tighten the propeller shaft flange at the end of the Transmission.
3. Tighten the bolts in the centre bearing mounting bracket.
4. Fix the rear propeller shaft.

The slip joint should be lubricated for every 6250 miles.

Propeller Shaft Service and Maintenance

1. Due to manufacturing tolerances and balance, the function of the propeller shaft is assured
only if the dismantled parts are reassembled in same position and plane.
2. Perform propeller shaft maintenance at regular intervals, and the actual vibrating frequency
of the propeller shaft depends on the service condition and application.
3. Check the flange securing bolts for tightness, by using a torque wrench, retighten the securing
bolts to 55 to 66 Nm.
4. If the shape of the yokes has changed to oval, replace the yokes.

A.  Pinion Flange D.  Brake Disc


B.  Differential Unit E.  Left Side Drive Shaft
C.  Right Side Drive Shaft F.  Caliper Assembly
Description and Operation
The  front  axle  is  a  hypoid  independent  front  suspension  (IFS)  type  and  utilizes  shim  adjustment  to  obtain 
bearing  pre‐loads.  The  differential  case  with  the  crown  wheel  and  drive  pinion  are  mounted  in  the  opposed 
taper  roller  bearing  in  single‐piece  rear  axle  carrier.  The  differential  bearing  preload  and  ring  gear  backlash 
are  adjusted  by  using  shims  (select  thickness).  The  shims  are  located  between  the  differential  bearing  cups 
and the axle housing. The pinion bearing preload is maintained by using a collapsible spacer.
The Constant Velocity (CV) joints are held in the housing by the bearings and the retainers at the outer end
of the housing. Axle shaft end play is preset and not adjustable. The hub bearings are prepackaged for life.

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.

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

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.

Care of the System
Checking And Adjusting The Pinion Backlash
NOTICE
Make ensure that the differential does not fall out of the rear housing.

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.
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‐
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.

The control valve is a rotary type spool


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Wear in the centre housing causes the fluid to leak around the rack piston causing either steering wander
or lack of straight-ahead stability. Another cause of steering wander and erratic control often
accompanied by clumping, 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:

Bleeding the system

• 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.

• Close the reservoir cap properly.

• Working principle of the Steering Pump

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

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

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

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

Refer below illustration for Steering Pump and its drive belt -

Front Suspension - DescripƟon


Front Suspension (4WD) – SchemaƟc

A. Knuckle B. Shock Absorber C. Torsion Bar


D. Stabilizer Bar E. Stabilizer Bar Link Rod F. Lower Control Arm
G. Upper Control Arm

DescripƟon and OperaƟon


The front suspension is a double independent suspension which is designed to allow each wheel to
independently adapt dŝīerent road surfaces. This type of suspension uses two parallel arms. Each arm
has two mounƟng posiƟons to the chassis and one ball joint aƩachment at the wheel knuckle. The
shock absorber mounted on the lower arm that controls the verƟcal movement of the vehicle. A
stabilizer bar and links are included to control s u s p e n s i o n l e a n /sway d u r i n g t u r n s . The lower
arm and upper arm are connected to each other via the knuckle assembly via the respecƟve joints. The
rubber bush is between the two rigid parts, and is elasƟcally deformable. A double-arm design controls
motion of the wheel throughout suspension travel, controlling parameters such as camber angle, caster
angle and toe.

Refer below schemaƟcs for Front Suspension in 2WD & 4WD vehicle.

FRONT SUSPENSION – 2WD FRONT SUSPENSION – 4WD

For SCDC, Torsion bar suspension is applicable for both 2WD & 4WD models.

SUV/SC/DC E-V March 2012/Rev1

Upper Control Arm


One end of the upper arm is connected to the
frame and other end is connected to the knuckle.
A bushing or rubber bushing is a type of vibration
isolator. It provides an interface between two
parts, damping the energy transmitted through
the bushing. Bushing made of rubber separates
the faces of two metal objects while allowing a
certain amount of movement. This movement
allows the suspension parts to move freely.

The main advantage of a wish bone bushing is


noiseless and vibrations are transmitted. Another
advantage is that they require little to no
lubrication.

Lower Control Arm


The lower arm is part of the double front
suspension. It is also called as Lower Control Arm
(LCA). It is mounted on to the chassis and has a
stabilizer bar link bracket with a torque control
arm mounted on it.
The function of the lower arm is to control the
motion of the wheels in relation to the body of the
vehicle. It acts as a support for the wheel
assembly by connecting with the knuckle and the
upper arm. It is mounted to the chassis frame via
the bush which provides smooth up and down
movement. The bushes also help in absorbing road
shock.

Torsion Bar (4WD)


Torsion bar is part of the front suspension system.
It is a cylindrical rod with serrated ends and acts as
a spring. This is made of spring steel.
Two torsion bars are horizontally mounted along
the chassis frame on both sides; one end
connected to each side of the lower control arm
and the other end is connected to chassis. The
main function of the torsion bar is to support the
vehicle for comfortable ride. It prevents the shocks
generated by uneven roads from being transferred

the vehicle. Ride height of the vehicle is also


controlled by the torsion bar.

Front Stabilizer Bar


The stabilizer bar is mounted to the chassis
frame with the help of rubber bush and mounting
bolts. It connects the opposite wheels together
through short link rods on both sides that are
mounted on the lower control arm.
Stabilizer bar is known as anti-roll bar or anti-
sway bar. The main function of the stabilizer bar
is to keep the vehicle stable by keeping the
wheels of the vehicle on the ground during vehicle
roll around sharp corners. The stabilizer bar
A. Stabilizer Bar
B. Stabilizer Bar bush
operates on the principle of Torsion/Twisting.

Front Shock Absorber


The Shock absorber is gas filled telescopic type. It is
mounted to the lower control arm and at the
other end is connected to vehicle chassis frame
with the help of securing bolts.
Shock absorber is known as damper in technical
terms. The function of the shock absorber is to
slow down and reduce the magnitude of vibratory
motions by turning the kinetic energy of
suspension movement into heat energy that is
dissipated through gas or fluid.

Wheel Hub For


4WD Vehicles
The wheel hub is mounted on the knuckle. All the
components of the wheel are bolted to it. It also
houses the wheel bearing. In case of a 2WD
vehicle, there is no wheel hub.

Knuckle
The knuckle holds the suspension components in place. In case of a 4WD vehicle, the control arms
and the drive shaft are connected to it, while the same is absent in case of a 2WD vehicle. It is one of
the critical components of the wheel alignment.

General Information
Wheel Alignment

Wheel alignment involves correct positioning of the wheels in the vehicle. The positioning is
accomplished by suspension and steering linkage adjustments. Wheel alignment is essential for
efficient steering, good directional stability and to minimize tyre wear. The most important
measurements of an alignment are caster, camber, toe-in and toe-out.

Camber

Camber is the inward or outward tilt of the wheel


relative to the center line of the wheel, when
viewed from the front. Tilting the top of the wheel
inward provides negative camber. Tilting the top
of the wheel outward provides positive camber.
Incorrect camber will cause uneven wear on the
inside or outside edge of the tyres. Camber in the
vehicle is adjustable with the help of shims.

Caster

Steering knuckle from vertical position. Tilting the


top of the knuckle forward provides negative
caster. Tilting the top of the knuckle backward
provides positive caster. Positive caster promotes
directional stability. This angle enables the front
wheels to return to a straight ahead position after
turns. The caster on the vehicle is fixed and
cannot be changed at any point.

Toe In & Toe Out


Toe is a measurement of how much the front wheels are turned in or out from a straight-ahead position
viewed from the top. When the wheels are turned in, toe is positive (+). When the wheels are turned
out, toe is negative (-). The actual amount of toe is normally only a fraction of a degree.
Improper toe adjustment will cause premature tyre wear and cause steering instability.
Refer below illustrations.

required thickness to adjust the camber as
per the readings.

Shims are available in 3 sizes, 0.032”(0.8mm), 0.064” (1.6mm) and 0.128” (3.2mm). The cam- ber
decreases if thicker shims are added.

8. Once the reading is achieved tighten the


bolts to the specified torque.

9. Castor on the vehicle cannot be adjusted as


it is inbuilt.

• The reading should not vary while tightening the bolts.

Description

MULTI LINK REAR SUSPENSION - SCHEMATIC

SUV is equipped with Multi Link Suspension on Rear Side.

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

REAR SUSPENSION – SCHEMATIC


LEAF SPRING TYPE

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 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 or whole of the present

SUV/SC/DC L6 July 2012/Rev 1

Rear Stabilizer Bar

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.

Rear Stabilizer Bar Link Rod

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.

Rear Shock Absorber

The Shock absorber is gas filled telescopic type. It is mounted


on the rear axle and the other end is connected to vehicle
chassis frame with the help of securing bolts.

The shock-absorber is also called as damper. The shock-


absorber smooth out or damps shock impulses or vibrations
induced due to wheel travel over uneven road surfaces. The
shock-absorber slows down and reduces magnitude of
vibratory motions by converting the kinetic energy of
suspension movement into heat energy that is dissipated
through gas or hydraulic fluid.

Leaf Spring Assembly

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 –

Pedal falls away / Pedal sinking


A brake pedal that falls away under steady foot pressure is generally the result of system leak. The leak
point could be at a brake line, fitting hose, wheel cylinder or Master Cylinder Internal leakage’s caused by
worn or damaged piston, seals may also be the problem cause.

If leakage is severe fluid will be evident at or around the leaking component.

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.

Hard pedal or high pedal effort

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

a. If the pedal hold firm then proceed to step 5.


b. If the pedal does not hold firm then and falls away then the master cylinder is defective.
5. Start the engine and note pedal action.
a. If the pedal falls away slightly under light pedal action and then hold firm then proceed
to step 6
b. If no pedal action is discernable then vacuum pump or vacuum check valve is defective.
6. Rebuild the vacuum reserve as follows. Release brake pedal. Increase engine speed to 1500 rpm
and then bring it to idle and shut off engine.
7. Wait for about 90 seconds and try brake action again. Booster should provide two or more
vacuum assisted pedal applications. If vacuum assist is not performed then perform check for the
check valve and booster.

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.

Some common causes of brake drag are:

• Loose or damaged wheel bearing


• Seized or sticky caliper or wheel cylinder piston.
• Loose caliper-mounting bracket.
• Loose mounting bolts of the rotor.
• Bent sliding pins in the calliper.
• Distorted brake drum or shoes.
• Rear brake shoes binding on worn/ damaged support plates
• Misassembled components
• Incomplete release of parking brake
• No free play
• Clogged master cylinder return port
• Broken master cylinder return spring
• Early lock of rear wheel due to change in setting distance of LSPV .

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.

SUV/SC/DC L6 July 2012/Rev 1

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 front pull condition would be the result of:

• Contaminated lining in one caliper.


• Seized caliper piston
• Binding caliper.
• Loose caliper.
• Loose or corroded slide pin.
• Improper brake shoes
• Inadequate contact of pad.
• Damaged rotor
• Incorrect tyre inflation (High variations between two wheel)
• Shoe return spring weak or broken

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)

Rear Brake Grab

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.

Brakes do not Hold after Driving through Deep Water Puddle

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.

Brake Fluid Contamination

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

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.

Wheel & Tyre Problems

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

Defective Parking Brake

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)

Care of the system


The brake fluid should conform to DOT 4 specifications.

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.

Brake System bleeding layout

The brake fluid should be replaced once in a year or every 40,000 Kms – whichever is earlier. Fluid
reservoir is mounted on the brake master cylinder. Refer above illustration. There are two compartments
in reservoir; fluid is being supplied to front brake circuit and rear brake circuit.

Open the bleed screws on Callipers, Rear brake drums and LSPV and allow the fluid to drain out
completely. To ensure complete draining, brake pedal can be depressed gradually. Do not repeat;
pressing brake pedal without fluid in the system can damage internal seals/ brake parts.

After the fluid is drained, hand tightens bleed screws on Front Callipers, Rear brake drums & LSPV. Refill
recommended fluid in the reservoir till the MAX mark. Ensure that fluid is getting in and air in the system
getting passed through bleed screws; tighten bleed screws as soon as continue flow of fluid starts.

Refer below mentioned brake bleeding sequence and illustration -

1. Rear left
2. Rear right
3. LSPV
4. Front left
5. Front right

The procedure at each of the bleed point is to pump 2 to 3 times, open the bleed screw by 1/4th turn,
close the bleed screw. Again pump 2/3 times then open the bleed screw keeping the pedal pressed
down. Close the bleed screw and release the pedal. Repeat the operation until no bubbles are coming.
The Bypass valve is inbuilt in the LSPV & it should be bled at the time of bleeding. It is also advisable to
keep the engine running at idling so that the pedal travel is complete.

Refill the fluid in clutch system; ensure that the fluid is getting refilled in system as well as air in the
system is getting pass through the bleed screw on slave cylinder. Tightens bleed screws as soon as
continue flow of fluid starts. Bleed the Clutch System and ensure no air trapped in the system.

While bleeding we suggest that the bleed screw nipple is fitted with a transparent plastic pipe. This pipe
should be submerged in a glass bottle filled with brake fluid. Refer below illustrations.

If any air bubbles are present then it can be easily seen in the container as well as the plastic pipe.

the seal fluid tank from the master cylinder body using a connector screw driver with blunt edge. Slightly
push the primary plunger and remove stop pin with gasket.
Without removing the stop pin, if any attempt is made to dismantle the master cylinder, the secondary
plunger cannot be removed. By slightly depressing the primary plunger, remove the cir clip and retainer
washer. Tap the cylinder on a wooden block and remove the primary and secondary plungers along with
the seals, springs etc. By slightly compressing the spring retainer unscrew the connecting screw from
primary plunger. Remove recuperating seal and seal shim from front end of primary plunger. Remove
back seal from the primary plunger using a connector screw driver. Remove secondary spring seal
retainer recuperating seal shim from the front end of the secondary plunger. Remove gland seal from the
secondary plunger using connector screw driver. Discard all the rubber parts. Clean all the parts in fresh
brake fluid or isopropyl alcohol and place them on a clean sheet of paper. Never clean the master
cylinder or internal parts with mineral oil like kerosene, petrol, diesel etc. Be sure that the four holes in
the cylinder body (two recuperating holes and two feed holes visible through the primary and secondary
inlet ports) are clear. This should be determined by blowing dry compressed air only. Do not poke the
holes with sharp instrument.

EXAMINATION OF MASTER CYLINDER AND PARTS -


Examination of master cylinder. If it is not scored, ridged or corroded and is smooth to the touch the
master cylinder can be rebuilt using appropriate parts from the Brakes India repair kit. If there is slightest
doubt about the condition of the bore like having deep groove or pit marks there is no other way than to
fit a new master cylinder. Examine both the plungers for rust, burrs or ridges. Ensure that both primary
and secondary plungers are in satisfactory conditions. Remove the adapter with gasket along with the
valve seal and valve spring from the secondary outlet port. Remove the valve seal separately.
NOTE: If contamination has been observed in the removed seals (normally they would have swollen and
can be compared with new seals from kit which will tell clearly that the size is enlarged) the entire
system. i.e. caliper rubber parts and rear wheel cylinder rubber parts including both front and rear hoses
must be discarded and the entire system should be flushed.
ASSEMBLING THE MASTER CYLINDER -

WORKING PRINCIPLE OF BRAKE BOOSTER -

SUPER VAC SERVO / BOOSTER (MECHANICAL)

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.

WORKING PRINCIPLE OF LSPV

Description –

When there is a large difference in vehicle weight between laden &


empty conditions; during dynamic braking, the weight on the rear axle
tends to shift towards the frontal direction of vehicle ( known as Load
/ Weight Transfer ) resulting into less vertical load on rear axle which
results into rear wheel locking. LSPV regulates the pressure in the rear
brakes in proportion to the load in vehicle. Hence it is called as Load
Sensing Proportioning Valve.

Installation & Working Principle –


This valve is mounted on vehicle chassis with the help of two bolts
near the rear axle. It is provided with a control spring which is
attached to the rear axle by a special bolt passing through a bush. The
control spring is in pre elongated condition. This spring senses the deflection of rear axle under different
loads & thereby automatically adjusts the operating characteristics (Knee point Pressure) of the valve.
Inlet port of the valve is connected to the delivery port of secondary circuit of TMC & outlet port of the
valve is connected to rear brakes through piping. The front inlet (bypass) port of valve is connected to
the front (secondary) circuit of the TMC to sense the front circuit failure.

Working of LSPV/ Valve – Refer illustration.

Initially the main spring force keeps the


piston pressed in upward direction keeping
outlet port connected to rear circuit open
at seal, till knee point i.e. inlet pressure is
transmitted to the rear circuit through
Area ‘A’
outlet port without any pressure
regulation.
Further pressing of brake pedal increases
the inlet pressure to LSPV & in turn
increases the downward force acting on
Area ‘P’ the piston. (The downward force is created
by hydraulic pressure available in front
circuit acting on area ‘A’.)

The downward movement of the piston


closes the entry of oil from rear inlet port
to outlet port at sealing point ‘P’.
Spring Force ‘F1’ At this point there are three forces acting
on the piston –

1. Upward force ‘F1’ of main spring.


2. Hydraulic force acting on area ‘P’.
3. Hydraulic force acting downwards on area ‘A’.

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.

LSPV Performance in Front Fail Condition (Bypass Function) –

In case of leakages – Internal or External, in the front circuit there is a failure of front circuit & front
callipers become ineffective. Under this emergency condition the bypass valve operates automatically.
This is achieved by following mechanism. In front fail condition the force acting on piston will only be –

1. Control Spring Load ‘F1’ acting upwards


2. Hydraulic force acting on area ‘P’
3. Upward force at ‘O’ ring in front circuit

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 &
transmits the whole pressure developed in rear circuit of TMC to rear brakes without any pressure
reduction.

Maintenance Precautions –

LSPV is a non-serviceable unit & should be replaced if any problem arises.


During vehicle servicing control spring setting should be checked & corrected if required with the help of
an ‘Installation gauge ‘provided for the purpose. The stretched length of the control spring should be set
at 92.5 mm with the help of Installation gauge.

The correct setting of Control Spring ensures adequate oil pressure to rear circuit & thereby ensures no
skidding of rear wheels. The LSPV setting needs to be carried out if:

1. The axle has been removed.


2. LSPV Valve replaced.
3. Any change in rear suspension carried.

Description

The system provides three channel ABS pressure control to the front and rear brakes. One channel
controls the rear wheel brakes and the two remaining channels control the front wheel brakes
individually. The main components of the ABS system are

 Speed Sensor Unit (SSU), and the sensor wheels

 Electronic Hydraulic Control Unit (EHCU) consists of

o Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and

o Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU).

When the brake is applied, hydraulic fluid is routed from the Master cylinder to the Front & Rear
Brakes through the ABS-EHCU. The Primary and Secondary outlet of the Master Cylinder is connected
to the EHCU inlet. The EHCU outlet is connected to the Front Left, Front Right and the Rear Brake
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

Brake Stop Light Switch

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.

Electronic Hydraulic Control Unit (EHCU)

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.

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

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.

SUV/SC/DC L6 July 2012/Rev 1

Pump & Motor

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.

Wheel Speed Sensor

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

The Diagnostic Connector is a standard OBD II connector. Whenever a diagnosis needs to be

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

Dynamic Rear Proportioning. (DRP)

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.

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 or whole of the present

Repair Manual MAN-00196
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

Isolation Mode (Pressure Hold)

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.

Dump Mode (Pressure Release)

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.

Reapply Mode (Pressure Increase)

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.

Brake Release
At the end of the ABS event, the motor will remain running for a short period of time to allow the
pumps to remove brake fluid from the LPA’s. As the fluid returns to the master cylinder, the LPA
return spring forces the piston to its normal (home) position

DRP: Dynamic Rear Proportioning

ABS: Anti Lock Braking System

• ABS is active only in the extreme condition when the front wheel lock is taking place. In
normal operation the braking does not activate the ABS functionality. Also the brake pedal
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
lock.
• 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
vehicle history and can be useful later.)
• After clearing all the ABS related errors drive the vehicle and do at least 5 ABS braking
application and check if any errors are recorded. Suggestion is that the vehicle speed should
not exceed 50 Km/hr when doing the panic braking to check ABS performance.

• 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.

Care of the System

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.

Inspection and Verification

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.

General description
The chassis has C in C pressed and welded section. The cross members connect the side members to
each other.

Frame Alignment
Normally frame misalignment is happens only due to:

 Collision
 Excessive overloading.

An improper frame alignment will affect axles alignments thus influencing the tyre wear. It will also
affect the door closure & window operation. In severely misaligned frame it will affect the vehicle
handling.

Frame Inspection & Measurement


Inspection –

 Before proceeding with measurements, inspect all components for visible damage and other
damage.
 All damaged areas must be repaired or replaced.

Measurements –

 Measure the frame for misaligned with body attached to the frame. The inspection sketch
attached gives the alignment reference dimensions.
 However before proceeding with any measurements, the following precautions have to be
taken.

• Park the vehicle on level ground.


• The vehicle should be in unloaded condition with fuel tank full.
• If any extra fittings have been fitted; Please remove them. (E.g. winch etc.)
• Measure the tyre inflation pressure. Keep it as per recommendation

Diagonal frame measurements


• Select reference points along one frame long member. It is suggested that the body mounting points
be used.

• Transfer these points to the surface floor with a plumb bob. (Attaching paper sheets below on the
ground will improve the measurements accuracy)

• Locate the reference point on the other long member.

• Measure the frame outer distance in front and the frame outer distance in rear.

• Move the vehicle away.

• Measure the distance between all the reference points diagonally. The measurement should not vary
more than 10 mm.

• Divide the distance between the front outer points and the rear frame outer points. This gives the
centre of the frame.

• Join the centre of the frame width at front and the centre of the frame width at rear. Place a chalk
line between these two points.

• This gives the centre line of the chassis.

• Determine how close to centre line is to diagonals intersection point.

• The reference mark on the floor will provide an illustrated indication of the degree of misalignment.

• A reference point transferred from one side’s long member may be 5 mm ahead or behind the
reference point from the opposite long member.

• Frame bow to the side should not exceed 5 mm per 2540 mm in length.

Inspection points –Measurement of Independent Front suspensions points –

 Take the measurement of the IFS points as shown in the sketch & using the same procedure of
marking.
 The dimension for the LCA bracket front & rear is the same.

Frame Repair
It is not recommended to repair the chassis frame. In case of any bend / twist due to accident collision: if
the bend is beyond the specified limits then it has to be replaced.

• Air ducts and vents/louvers

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.

Air Conditioning sub-system

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 sub-system primarily consist of

• Suction hose
• A/C Compressor, electromagnetic compressor clutch
• Discharge hose
• Condenser, receiver/drier, condenser fan
• Liquid pipe
• Pressure switch
• Thermostatic expansion valve
• Evaporator
• Evaporator inlet and outlet pipes
• Thermo sensor
• Refrigerant and refrigerant oil

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

dehumidified. The condensate water gets drained off to atmosphere through drain hose, located
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

Heating sub-system primarily consist of

• 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.

HVAC System Control

The desired ventilation/cooling/heating/defrosting/ defogging effect can be ensured by operating/


adjusting various knobs and switches on the HVAC control panel. By operating blower speed knob, air
flow speed can be adjusted.

By operating air distribution knob, air flow can be distributed among various vents. By adjusting knob
any one out of Face mode, Face-Foot/Floor mode, Foot/Floor mode, Foot/Floor-Defrost mode or
Defrost/Windshield mode can be selected.

By switching on/off the air recirculation switch, fresh air/recirculation mode can be obtained. For
comparatively lower/higher cabin temperatures, AC HI/ AC LO switch can be pressed on.

By adjusting the temperature knob, temperature of the air coming out of vents can be adjusted. For a
selected temperature knob position on HVAC control panel, amount of air passing through evaporator
and heater is controlled by operating various air mixing flaps. While passing through evaporator air
gets cooler whereas while passing through heater air gets warmer. Finally both cold and hot air
streams are mixed together and are distributed further. If temperature knob is adjusted to cooler side
(blue side), most of the air sucked by blower is forced to pass through evaporator. If temperature
knob is adjusted to warmer side (red side), most of the air sucked by blower is forced to pass through
heater.

AC System Overview and Function


AC SYSTEM COMPONENTS - OVERVIEW

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.

Condenser Cooling Fan

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 (TXV)

a. Low Pressure Port


b. High Pressure Port

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.

A/C Control Panel – Overview

Description and Operation


The HVAC Control Panel located inside cabin, on central console of IP; three knobs which control air
distribution, blower speed and air temperature respectively. It also houses three active switches which
select fresh/recirculation mode, AC LO mode and AC HI mode respectively.
The desired ventilation/cooling/heating/defrosting/ defogging effect can be ensured by operating/
adjusting various knobs and switches on the HVAC control panel.

Temperature Control Knob


By adjusting the temperature knob, temperature of the air coming out of vents can be adjusted. If
knob is adjusted in blue segment, air coming out of vents will be cooler and if knob is adjusted in red
segment air coming out of vents will be warmer. Rotating the knob anti clock wise in blue segment
makes air temperature reduce progressively. Rotating the knob clockwise in red segment makes air
temperature increase progressively.
For a selected temperature knob position on HVAC control panel, amount of air passing through
evaporator and heater is controlled by operating various air mixing flaps. While passing through
evaporator air gets cooler whereas while passing through heater air gets warmer. Finally both cold
and hot air streams are mixed together and are distributed further. If temperature knob is adjusted to
cooler side (blue side), most of the air sucked by blower is forced to pass through evaporator. If
temperature knob is adjusted to warmer side (red side), most of the air sucked by blower is forced to
pass through heater.

Air Distribution Control Knob


By operating air distribution knob, air flow can be distributed among various vents. This is done by
operating various air flaps inside the climate box assembly. By adjusting knob any one of the following
modes can be selected.

Blower Speed Control Knob


By operating blower speed knob, air flow speed can be adjusted. This is done by making blower to
rotate at pre-defined speeds. Rotating the knob clockwise increases the blower speed. Any one out of
four speeds, 1 to 4 can be selected. When knob is adjusted at zero/off setting, both blower motor and
air conditioning system remains switched off.

Air Recirculation Switch


The air recirculation switch on the control panel toggles the air circulation mode between the fresh air
and re-circulated air. When the air recirculation switch is in fresh air mode, the indicator lamp on the
air recirculation switch will be OFF. The HVAC system takes in air from outside the vehicle and allows
to flow into the vehicle cabin as fresh air.
When the switch is in recirculation mode, the indicator lamp on the air recirculation will glow. The
HVAC system circulates the air available inside the vehicle cabin.

Air Conditioning High-Low Switches


Once 'AC LOW' switch is selected, indicator lamp of this switch glows and AC Low mode gets activated.
Whereas if 'AC HI' switch is selected, indicator lamp of this switch glows and AC High mode gets
activated 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. Whereas if 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.

In Car Repairs

• Discharging the A/C System

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.

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 or whole of the present

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 of the A/C System

• Do not start or crank the engine as the system is being evacuated.

• 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.

• Purging of A/C System

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.

• Recharging the System with Refrigerant Oil

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

In case compress or needs to be replaced follow the below mentioned procedure:-


• Remove the suction and discharge pipes from the compressor. Cover/close the pipe ends
immediately to prevent from moisture/ contamination from getting entrapped. Also masks both the
ports of compressor.
• Loosen the auto-tensioner pulley and remove the drive belt from clutch pulley. Unplug the clutch
wiring.
• Loosen the compressor mounting bolts and remove the compressor.
• Remove the drain plug and let the oil get drained from compressor and measure the quantity of
drained oil. For effective oil draining, rotate the shaft multiple times.
• Note that compressor at the time of factory fitment and any new compressor contain 150 cc of
refrigerant oil which is equal to oil capacity of complete A/C system.
• To maintain total oil quantity in complete system, some of the refrigerant oil will have to be drained
off from new compressor before installing it on vehicle. The quantity of oil which needs to be drained
off from new compressor can be found out as below:

Refer the machine’s manufacturer instructions before using the machine to fill the oil. Following
procedure can be followed while charging refrigerant oil inside the A/C system:-

1. Fill fresh refrigerant oil into the injector bottle of the machine.
2. Adjust the o-ring around the oil injector bottle to the required oil charge level and fix it with
machine.
3. Engine should stay shut-off.
4. Ensure that both low and high side service hoses are connected with vehicle, and coupler
valves are open.
5. Select appropriate option to inject oil into the system. The machine checks pressure inside the
hoses, and equalize them.
6. When prompted, press and hold the inject oil button until the oil level in the oil injector bottle
reaches the o-ring. At this point oil injection is complete and further oil injection needs to be
stopped immediately.
7. Now system is ready for refrigerant recharge.

Note that after injecting oil, machine will allow only a high-side refrigerant charging. Also note that
while recharging the A/C system with refrigerant at this point of time ensures all of the intended oil
quantity, some of which was left over in hoses, is delivered to the vehicle.

• Recharging System with Refrigerant


After successful system evaluation and leak test and oil filling, system can be charged with R134a
refrigerant. In case system has been repaired, repair has to be followed by evaluation and leak test.

Following procedure should be followed for recharging refrigerant into the system:-

1. Engine to be kept in ‘OFF’ condition.


2. Ensure that both low and high side service hoses are connected with vehicle, and coupler
valves are open.
3. Select high side refrigerant charge option from machine. Note that machine may offer low
side charging too but after injection refrigerant oil high side charge should only be selected.
4. Select from or feed required refrigerant fill volume (830 +/- 20 gm) into the machine. After
this, machine will start charging refrigerant into the system.
5. When the charge is complete, machine might offer an option to start pressure equalization in
the service hoses or skip the pressure equalization.
Selecting the option of pressure equalization in service hoses will ensure that the entire liquid
refrigerant trapped in the hoses is transferred to the vehicle A/C system for accurate charging.
Once this option is selected, follow the instructions given in the next step (step-6). Skipping
the option of pressure equalization in service hoses, or equivalently selecting an option of
compensating the service hoses, will make machine to charge a small amount of refrigerant
into the vehicle A/C system in order to offset the refrigerant that may be left in the hoses. If
this option is selected, wait till hoses are compensated and afterward follow machine’s
instructions and close both coupler valves. Now go directly to step 10, skipping steps 6 to 9.
6. Close the high side coupler valve. After closing the high side valve, the high side hose may be
removed from the vehicle. However the high side hose must stay connected to machine, to
enable pressure equalization.
Also low side hose must stay connected both with machine and with the vehicle with the low
side coupler valve kept open.
7. Check the vehicle that transmission lever is in neutral and parking brake is engaged.
8. Start the engine. Switch on the blower to maximum speed, set temperature knob at extreme
cool position, set air mode at fresh, keep air distribution in face mode, keep all cabin air vents
kept open and switch on the air conditioner at high mode (AC HI mode).
9. Now machine starts pressure equalization of service hoses, by internally connecting the low
and high side hoses and thus allowing the vehicle’s compressor to pull refrigerant into the A/C
system. Machine will confirm when this process is complete.
10. Close the low-side coupler valve. Remove the service hoses from the vehicle’s A/C system. In
case hose compensation option was selected in step-6, close both the coupler valves and
disconnects both the hoses from vehicle.
Please note that if the low side or high side coupler valves are left open, the system will pull
the refrigerant back out of the vehicle and may damage the system components.
11. Shut the engine off. Also switch off the blower.
12. Select appropriate option to begin clearing the service hoses. Once the hoses are cleared,
refrigerant charging process is considered complete and will be indicated by the machine.
Now the vehicle’s air conditioning system is ready for final leakage test. If no refrigerant
leakages are found system’s cabin cooling performance can be evaluated.

• Refrigerant Leak Test

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.

• Replacing Anti-freeze switch -

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

Replacement procedure:

1. Remove the wiring harness from the connector.


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

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.

emergency and is capable of withstanding restraint forces during its operation. Load-limiter is a seat
belt assembly component or feature that controls tension on the seat belt to modulate the forces that
are imparted to occupants restrained by the belt assembly 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
components.

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.

Driver Airbag (DAB)

The driver airbag is located at the center of the


steering wheel, and is secured with lock pins. The
horn switch is located beneath the driver airbag. The
airbag inflators secure the airbag housing within an
integrated mold fitted at the back of the trim cover.

when the steering wheel is rotated. The clock spring
is only designed to rotate the same number of turns
as the steering wheel from lock to lock.

Centering the clock spring indexes the clock spring


tape to other steering components can operate
within their designed travel limits without any
damage.

If the clock spring is removed for removing the


steering column, the clock spring gets disconnected
from the steering gear and the clock spring tape can change position relative to other steering
components. So the clock spring must then be re centered following completion of such service or the
clock spring tape may be damaged.

• The airbags in the vehicle are designed to be a SUPPLEMENT and not a replacement for the
seat belts. For maximum protection, wear seat belts at all times.
• The front airbags are designed to prevent serious injury. Deployment occurs very quickly and
with considerable force. During normal deployment and depending on variables such as
seating position, one may experience abrasions, bruises, swellings, or other injuries as a result
from deployment of one or both of the airbags.
• When installing any accessory equipment, make sure that the front airbag system and wiring
is not damaged. Any interference in the system could cause malfunction. It is recommended

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.

SRS Components (Supplementary Restraint System)


Working effectively and safely on airbag systems requires a good knowledge of the various parts of
such systems, and how they work together.
Seat Belt Pre-tensioner –
Essentially, a pre-tensioner uses a gas generator to propel a piston attached to the seat belt buckle
with a cable. When the airbag is deployed, the same circuitry fires this gas generator, which causes the
piston to pull on a cable, which back-winds, or tightens the seat belt.
In addition to being aware of the dangers of airbag deployment, you also need to be aware of
accidentally deploying the seat belt pre-tensioner on cars so equipped. Seat belt pre-tensioner should
be stored in their original containers on a secured flat surface. Keep them away from sparks, a heat
source or high electrical energy. Never attempt to disassemble a pre-tensioner, and never reuse a
deployed one.

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.

Working principle of various sub systems


• Driver Airbag (DAB) & Passenger Airbag (PAB) –
Location of DAB & PAB in SUV/ SC/ DC – Refer illustration shown.

A driver Airbag / inflator is a sealed canister containing gas generant, ignition material, and filtering
and sealing components that filter combustion byproducts and insure proper gas flow. When
activated, the ignition material burns very rapidly to produce large quantities of non-toxic gas at high
pressure and temperature. The generated gas is released through small portholes in the inflator wall/
balloon/ bag. An exposure to high concentrations of gas generant may cause headache, nausea,
blurred vision, faintness.

Force distributed over Airbag – Schematic


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

Roto Pre-tensioner and Load Limiter (RPLL)

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.

Load Limiters –
The load limiters are provided to limit the seat belt loads to a pre-defined value. The load limiter fitted
inside the retractor unit is basically a torsion bar. Whenever the belt load increases beyond the pre-
defined limit, some length of the belt is released due to twisting of the torsion bar.
Refer below Schematic on working of Pre-tensioner –

Disposals of Airbags, Seat Belt Pre-tensioner –


Introduction -

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.

General safety instructions for disposal of Airbag devices

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.

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 or whole of the present

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.

Deployment of Airbag devices inside of the vehicle:

 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.
 Individuals with respiratory conditions, such as asthma, may be
affected by the gasses and particulates resulting from a deployment of
pyrotechnic devices. Individuals with such conditions should not
conduct such operations.

Removal of active / un-deployed Airbag devices:

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.

Manipulations of airbag modules or improper handling can result in personal injury.

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.

Never tamper with the connectors. The connector contains an electrical shunt that reduces the chance
of deployment due to electrostatic energy. Cutting or removing the connector could cause an
inadvertent deployment resulting in personal injury.

• VEHICLE PRESERVATION –

RECOMMENDED VEHICLE MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES WHEN OUT-OF-USE


Long term storage of new vehicles requires special care to keep vehicles factory fresh and ready for
reuse. The following guidelines should be performed to minimise vehicle component/ part
degradation due to extended vehicle storage conditions.

STORAGE LOCATION & PARKING

• Vehicles should be stored in a Dry, Well Ventilated and Drained area with a Roof above.
• If an indoor storage area or other location with a roof overhead is not available, the following
conditions should be met:
- Location should be where damage to painting due to factory smoke, metallic powder, acid
rain, salty winds, bird droppings, tree sap etc. can be prevented.
- Floor of such a storage area should be paved and have good water drainage.
• Ensure to remove the Adhesive Film (if any) from Exterior Trim / Mouldings / Seats.
• Ensure that the Window Glasses are covered with cardboard or Cloth to prevent fading and
deformation of the Instrument Panel, Upholstery and Seats.
• Park vehicles with at least 3-feet gap in between them and enough space in the front and rear
to walk around.
• Park the vehicle in First / Reverse gear. DO NOT apply Parking Brake.
• Ensure that all windows / sun roofs are closed.
• Lift the Wiper Arm / Blade from the wind screen glass.

OTHER INFORMATION

If the vehicles in the storage area are exposed to salty environment, sea breeze, corrosion with rust
may appear in some of the ferrous parts. If rust is found, remove it and apply suitable rust inhibitor.

The disc brake rotors are made of cast iron and may show gradual build up of surface rust during long
storage, accelerated if the environment is salty. On a monthly basis, drive the vehicle to 50 Kmph and
brake normally to stop the vehicle to remove rust. Repeat this exercise at least 10 times.

Plastic materials used in the vehicle as well as insulation material of wires might attract small rodents
which nibble at these components. Inspect the vehicle for “Rat-bite” at the time of PDI/ reuse. Small
birds and rodents might find it interesting to build their nests inside air cleaners, exhaust system.
Inspect these areas thoroughly at the time of reuse.

 List of activities/checks to be done during vehicle long time storage condition -

 ELECTRICALS & BATTERY


• Ensure that all electrical accessories are turned OFF.
• Remove the memory fuse* (*if applicable).
