1. The first maintenance
The first maintenance is also called break-in period maintenance which refers to the
maintenance carried out for the first time on a new or an overhauled vehicle after reaching a mileage
of 1,500-2,500km. It should be carried out at the specified Lifan minivan service station, with contents
as below:
1) Check all locations of the engine, transmission and differential for leakage; if yes, please
eliminate it.
3) Check the level of coolant, brake fluid, windshield detergent and battery electrolyte (except
maintenance-free battery), power steering fluid (models with power steering) and check if there is
leakage. If the level is too low, please fill the fluid; if there is leakage, please repair it.
4) Check the triangular arm & ball pin, the connecting ball head and the flexible hinge of
triangular arm for damage and the ball head for looseness. If yes, please repair or replace it.
5) Check the drive shaft dustproof cover for breakage; if so, replace it.
6) Check the steering mechanism, front and rear shock dampers for oil leakage; if so, repair it.
7) Check the tire pressure. For the front tires, the standard pressure is 240KPa and the highest
pressure is 260KPa; for the rear tires, the standard pressure is 240KPa and the highest pressure is
300KPa.
8) Check if there is a DTC stored in the self-diagnostic system (model with an electronic injection
engine and model with an automatic transmission). If yes, eliminate the faults according to the DTC
and then delete the DTC.
2. Regular maintenance
The vehicle enters the normal period for use after the first maintenance. During the normal use,
a regular maintenance should be carried out according to the actual application conditions of the
vehicle.
(1) Regular maintenance for vehicles operating in severe conditions. Severe conditions are as
below:
1) Frequent starting.
4) The vehicle always runs in low-temperature environment (the vehicle always drives for short
distance; and the temperature of the engine does always not reach the normal working temperature).
(1) The vehicle operating in severe conditions should be regularly maintained for every 5,000km.
(2) The vehicle operating in normal conditions (except in severe conditions) should be regularly
maintained for every 7,500km.

Notes:
1. Some maintenance items in the table are determined by specific vehicle configuration.
2. The definition of I,R,C,T in the LIFAN Commercial Vehicle Maintenance Plan Table
I: Inspecting,
R: Replacing,
C: Cleaning,
T: Testing.
Routine maintenance refers to operations such as check, cleaning, tightening and refilling
carried out according to the utilization and condition of the vehicle so as to ensure a good condition. It
should be carried out by the driver or professional vehicle serviceman during the normal operation.
But some items must be maintained by professional vehicle servicemen at Lifan service station.
The air cleaner is to filter the air entering the engine cylinder for the first time. The filtered dust
and other impurities are accumulated in the filter element. The air cleaner can filter many dust and
impurities, thus they must be removed immediately.
Dismantle the air cleaner to remove the dust and impurities in the filter element. For the structure
of the air cleaner, please refer to Fig. 1-3-1. Generally speaking, it should be cleaned for every driving
of 3,000km. If the vehicle runs on a dusty road, it should be cleaned for every three days.
The air cleaner is to filter the dust and impurities in the air, as well as ensure the smooth flow of
air. The condition of the air cleaner directly influences the economical efficiency and dynamic
property; therefore, it must be checked and maintained in time.
Within the replacement period for the filter element of the air cleaner, please decide the
frequency of maintaining the air cleaner according to the cleanness of the road. During maintenance,
dismantle the filter element, blow away the dust on the filter element by compressed air and remove
the impurities in the air cleaner housing.

Note: Do not use a wet cloth to clean the filter element. Make sure that the connection is sealed
well during restoring the filter element.
3. Maintenance of battery
Battery is the power supply for vehicle starting and electrical appliances. Its condition directly
influences the normal use of the vehicle, especially the one with electronic control devices. It’s very
important to maintain the sound condition and reliable connection of the battery. For daily use, the
battery should be checked and maintained as below:
(1) Outer cleaning: regularly check if the housing and cover surface of the battery is dirty; in
case of dust, oil stain or other dirties, please clean them immediately and keep the cover surface dry
to avoid electricity leakage.
(2) Check of the battery connection: the poor contact at the joint between the battery terminal
post and cable may cause a hard or failing starting of engine; the drop of the battery connecting wire
may cause damage to the electrical parts on the vehicle; and may lose the fault code and other
information in the RAM memory of the computer system. Therefore, please always check if the
connector of cable on the battery terminal post is fixed.
(3) Check of the peep hole on the battery housing: if it’s green, it’s normal; if it’s black, it
requires charging; and if it’s colorless, the battery has been damaged.
4. Maintenance of tires
It is very important for the fuel consumption and driving safety to keep the good condition of the
tires. Thus they should be always checked and maintained.
(1) Tire pressure: always check the tire pressure. Inflate the tires as necessary to make it always
keep the standard pressure.
(2) Damage of the tires: visually inspect if the tire is abnormally worn, cracking and bulging. If yes,
第 12 页 共 221 页
please repair or replace the tire immediately; if there is a hard impurity on the tire, please remove it in
time to avoid damage to the tire.
(3) Tire rotation: the front wheels of Lifan minivan function as both driving wheels and steering
wheels. The front axle load is bigger than that of the rear axle, which may cause too fast abrasion of
the front wheel tire and eccentric wear. Please carry out the tire rotation for every driving of
15,000-20,000km to ensure the performance and service life of the tires. For methods, please see Fig.
1-3-2.
Front
(4) Standard for normal wear of tires: the tire may be worn in the normal driving of the vehicle.
The tires should be replaced when the wheel tread is less than 1.6mm in depth or wear is found in the
groove between two or among more neighboring treads. Please see Fig. 1-3-3.
The condition of wiper and washer directly influences the sight of the driver and the service life of
the windshield. Therefore, please pay attention to the maintenance of wiper and washer during daily
use.
(1) Wiper: Check if the wiper is damaged or deformed, it influences the sound contact between
the wiper blade and the windshield and the wiper is in normal operation. In case of poor contact
between the wiper blade and the windshield or bad operation of wiper, please repair or replace them
in time.
(2) Washer: Check the storage of the washer reservoir and refill detergent in time. Please use
the specified detergent to ensure the best effect. Slowly fill the detergent and no impurity should enter
the reservoir. Add suitable alcohol to the detergent to avoid freezing in winter.

6. Check and adjustment of headlamp
The incorrect beam of headlamp will influence the safety of driving at night. Thus, it should be
always checked and adjusted, if necessary. For the check and adjustment of headlamp, please refer
to Chapter IV.
7. Interior maintenance
Interior maintenance mainly refers to cleaning to keep the inside of vehicle clean and offer a
pleasant environment for driver and passengers. Key points are stated below:
(1) Method for dirt removal: firstly remove the dust, and then clean the dirt by a proper
detergent, and repeatedly wipe the surface with a clean, soft and not very damp cloth.
(2) Detergent: use liquid solution with soap solution and surface active agent to remove the dirt
on a fabric or synthetic leather as possible as you can. Solutions may corrupt the synthetic materials
for interior decoration to a certain extent, so please pay special attention.
Mark of ballpoint and lipstick can be cleaned by alcohol, oil or grease by gasoline with a low
number, chocolate and sugar stain by commodity hartshorn and asphaltum stain by a special
solution.
(3) A long time exposure under the sun may damage the interior decorations. Therefore, the
upper part of seat back pad exposed to sunshine and rear baffle plate should be sheltered by a cover.
8. Exterior maintenance
Exterior maintenance is to keep the exterior surface clean and shining, offer a pleasant
appearance and avoid the vehicle body becoming rusty and paint falling abnormally. Key points are
as below:
1) Wash away the dirt on the surface by pressure water and then wipe the body by a soft cloth or
sponge from the top to bottom.
2) Dry the surface by high-quality white gauze, step down the brake pedal for several times during
driving after washing to drain the water in the friction pair.
(2) Cleaning the windshield: silicon-copper-based product can not be used. For a better cleaning
effect, you’d better use the special detergent provided by the technical service station of our
company.
(3) Removing the asphaltum: the asphaltum on the vehicle body and bumper should not be
scraped but wiped by a special material.
(4) Repairing paint: repair the paint scratches or slight damages with a special paint repairing
spray tank. (The auto technical service station may provide various colors of paint repairing spray
tanks.) After repairing, keep the paint in air for drying.
(5) Polishing and waxing: it can not only beautify the vehicle body, but also protect the paint.
1) Paint polishing should be carried out at the end of winter. The vehicle body should be clean
and dry before polishing. Liquid or emulsus polishing agent is used.
第 14 页 共 221 页
2) Before waxing, the painted surface should be absolutely dry and clean. Spray the wax on the
painted surface evenly by a waxing tool (or by a soft napkin or soft but lint-free cotton fabric). Check
the waxing by water droplet testing: spray a little water on the painted surface to be tested; if there are
droplets, wax layer has been formed; otherwise, clean the surface and repeat waxing. Note: waxing
should not be carried out under direct sunshine or in a cold day.

Section V Notes for Use and Maintenance
I. Notes for the safety of maintenance
Most of the parts, components and assemblies are tightened by bolts and nuts. Please pay
attention to the following notes during removal and installation to ensure the safe operation and
completeness of parts, and guarantee the normal connection of parts after maintenance:
1) For the removal of fasteners such as bolts and nuts, use a wrench or sleeve of the specific
specification rather than an adjustable wrench for convenience to prevent damage to parts or
personal injury due to removal.
2) If the bolt or nut is too rusty to be loosed, dip it in gasoline for 1h and then remove it. Do not
apply excessive force to avoid damage to parts or accident due to the unbalanced bearing (during
raising the vehicle by a jack).
3) Some parts are mated closely, so do not pry or knock them by an improper tool during
removal and installation so as to avoid damage to parts.
4) For the removal and installation of bearing or oil seal, use a proper tension and compression
tool to prevent damage to bearing, oil seal and their mating and sealing with the related parts.
5) Bolts and nuts must be tightened according to the specified torque. If too loose, the vehicle
may be loosen and cause fault or damage in the driving; if too tight, the spare parts may be damaged
easily.
2. Others
1) Pay attention to the reliability of the bearing when maintaining the vehicle during lifting.
2) The maintenance workshop should be reasonably arranged; the removed parts should be
placed according to regulations and the oil stain on the ground should be cleaned immediately to
avoid being stumbled or sliding by parts during maintenance.
4) The maintenance workshop should be ventilated to prevent the harmful materials in the
exhaust gas from the engine from causing injury to human body.
5) The maintenance should be carried out after the engine stops and the temperature decreases
so as to prevent being scalded by hot parts such as cylinder body or exhaust pipe. Some thin-plate
metal parts should be dismantled under normal temperature, otherwise they will be distorted. If
maintenance is required while the engine is operating, please do not contact the surfaces of the
engine body or the exhaust pipe, etc.
6) During maintenance, the skin should not contact the oils and fuels directly for a long time,
otherwise it will be hurt. When the painting surface is with brake fluid, antifreeze and electrolyte, wash
them immediately to avoid damage to the painting.
7) Open fire is prohibited when checking the electrolyte level. Flame or spark is not allowed to be
close to the battery when the engine is working so as to avoid battery explosion due to igniting the
hydrogen and oxygen accumulated when the battery is being charged.
2) After the ignition switch is turned off, electrical appliances such as motor and computer,
electronic system components and circuits of power supplies directly connected to battery should not
be switched off from the power. For necessary disconnection with the battery, the negative cable of
battery must be dismantled.
3) Do not check the continuity of circuit by a spark test to avoid damage to the electronic
elements by the transient voltage pulse produced from the spark test.
4) Do not check the continuity of circuit by piercing the lead insulation to prevent poor connection
or insulation of the circuit.
5) When pulling out the connector of harness or electrical components, do not directly pull the
lead to avoid broken lead or connection within the lead.
6) For checking the voltage or resistance of electronic control circuits like computer, a digital
multimeter with internal resistance no less than 10MΩ should be used.
7) Checking the continuity of circuits and resistance of electrical appliances and electronic
components by the ohms range of the multimeter should be carried out when the circuit is cut off to
avoid a burnt-out meter.
1) The electrolyte of battery is featured by strong corrosivity. Please protect your eyes and face
during the disassembly, assembly and handling of the battery. Once your face contacts the
electrolyte, wash it immediately with large amount of clear water.
2). If the starting rotation speed decreases evidently (insufficient battery charging), recharge the
battery in time by a charging equipment to avoid that the long-time insufficient power condition of
battery will easily vulcanize the polar plate and further impact the service life.
3) Always check the level of the electrolyte. If it is too low, fill distilled water.
4) Ensure that the battery cable clamp is installed fixedly, to prevent its loosing or falling off
during driving which may cause damage to the electronic equipment due to the overvoltage from the
electrical system.
5) The terminal post, cable clamp and cover surface of battery should keep clean to avoid poor
contact or electricity leakage.
6) Disconnect the negative cable of battery if the vehicle stops for over one month.
1) Make sure that the electrical equipment on the vehicle are cut off when disassembling the
battery.
2) Firstly disconnect the negative cable lamp, and then the positive cable lamp, so as to prevent
the short circuit because the tool contacts the neighboring components; for assembly, reverse the
order for the same reason.
第 19 页 共 221 页
3) The connectors of positive and negative cables must not be connected incorrectly; otherwise,
the commutation diode of the generator will be burnt out.
2) For charging, connect the cable first and then turn on the power switch; turn off the power first
to stop charging.
3) The cable clamp of charging equipment and the terminal post of the battery must be reliably
connected to prevent that the hydrogen and oxygen produced by charging are ignited by the spark
due to the sudden disconnection and further brings about an accident.
4) For constant-voltage charging, the charging voltage should not be over 15.5V, and the current
not over 20% of the mark value of the battery (e.g. the maximum charging current of L2 300A battery
should not exceed 60A). Otherwise, that will cause overcharging or damage to the polar plate.
In winter with low temperature, the capacity of battery decreases; the internal resistance
increases; and the electrolyte may be frozen. In case of a frozen electrolyte, the battery can not be
used any more and the active materials on the polar plate will fall off and the container will break.
Therefore, attention must be paid in winter in the cold region:
1) Adjust the density of electrolyte higher properly. The electrolyte with a low density easily gets
frozen in winter. Therefore, properly adjust the electrolyte to the density that it will not cause freezing
in that area in winter.
2) Keep the battery with sufficient power. After discharging, the density of the electrolyte will
decrease and thus the risk of being frozen will increase. Therefore, in winter, it's quite necessary to
keep the battery with sufficient power.
3) Filling distilled water during charging can make water blend with the electrolyte fast and then
decrease the risk of being frozen.
4) Pay attention to the heat preservation and pre-heating of battery. In the cold region in winter,
the battery should be pre-heated when the cold engine starts, to enlarge the capacity of the battery,
decrease the resistance and further make the engine start easily.
(5) Notes for starting by an emergency battery: when the battery is too insufficient in power and
the engine can not be started by a starter, the engine maybe also can not be started by pushing the
vehicle, because the insufficient power of battery will cause the engine ECU not to work normally. If
starting is badly needed, the engine must be started by another battery or a spare one. For starting
and its safety, follow the operation methods and motes as below:
1) Connect the emergency battery as per the order shown in Fig. 1-5-1. The clamp should be
tight to avoid spark produced due to the loose clamp.
第 20 页 共 221 页
Fig.1-5-1 Starting by an emergency battery
2) If using the battery from another vehicle, start the engine of the rescue vehicle first after
connecting the two batteries, and make the engine run at a relatively high rotation speed for 1min,
and then start the vehicle engine with an insufficient battery.
3) The rescue vehicle should not contact the vehicle with an insufficient battery. During
connecting the clamp, the engine must stop. During starting, do not touch the clamp and do not lean
on the battery.
1) When the generator is not being charged or has not been charged sufficiently, check if the
tension of the drive belt is proper, as the slipping of the drive belt forms one of the causes for the
generator being not charged or not charged sufficiently.
2) When the engine and the generator are working, do not disconnect the battery; otherwise
overvoltage will be caused and then burn out the commutation diode within the generator and
damage other electronic elements on the vehicle.
3) When the generator is working, do not check if the generator generates power by a spark test,
because that will easily burn out the commutation diode and other electronic elements on the vehicle.
4) When checking the insulation performance of the armature winding by a 220v AC test lamp or
a megger, the connection between the commutation diode and armature winding must be
disconnected firstly; otherwise the commutation diode will be burnt out.
5) When the engine stops, the ignition switch should be disconnected immediately, because the
battery will continue supplying power to the generator magnetic field winding if the ignition switch is
connected. That will not only consume the capacity of the battery, but burn out the magnetic field
winding.
1) When the starter is hard to be started, the time for each starting should not be too long
(always not over 5s). Another starting must be carried out 15s later. That will not only give enough
time for the battery electrolyte to infiltrate into the inside of the polar plate and make the electromotive
force recover, which is helpful for starting, but also prevent the starter from being burn out due to the
continuous work of generator for a long time.
2) Do not drive the vehicle to move by a starter to avoid damage to the starter due to too large
load.
3) After the engine starts, release the ignition switch in time and make it return to the ignition
position automatically so as to avoid wear of one-way clutch and prevent the generator starting from
第 21 页 共 221 页
being accelerated as the engine runs at a high speed for a long time after starting.
4) When the engine is working, the ignition switch should not be turned to the starting position,
so as to prevent the driving gear of starter and the gear ring of engine flywheel (model with automatic
transmission) from contacting each other and being damaged.
5) During maintenance, the time for performance test (no load test and brake test) of starter should
not exceed 5s; otherwise the starter will be damaged.
The following points should be paid attention to for the normal operation of engine and other
systems and the safety of driving:
1) Always observe the indicators on the instrument and the instrument cluster. If the indicator
illuminates, stop the vehicle immediately and eliminate the fault.
2) Ensure the radiator cover is screwed down to guarantee the normal operation of the engine
cooling system. (The radiator cover flange should be parallel to the radiator surface after being
screwed down.)
4) When the electronic injection engine starts, the injection system is controlled by computer
according to the starting switch signal. Thus there is no need to step down the acceleration pedal.
5) After the engine starts, the vehicle can start without need of warm-up. However, accident
acceleration should not be applied. The vehicle should run stably for a distance. Before the engine
stops, make the engine run at an idle speed first so as to make its temperature decrease smoothly.
6) A hard starting may be caused by the over storage of the engine intake manifold. Step the
acceleration pedal to the end slowly and keep that for 30s to evaporate the gasoline in the intake
manifold. Then start the engine.
7) The electronic injection engine is equipped with an inertia switch which can automatically cut
off the fuel in case of collision. If the engine couldn't start up and there is no other fault, check the
inertia switch for close (press down the switch).
8) Regularly check the level of engine coolant, brake fluid, windshield cleaning solution and
engine oil. As for the vehicle of power steering model, check the liquid level of power steering fluid.
Without fluid, driving is prohibited.
9) Always check and keep the normal idle speed of the engine that will be helpful for the
performance of the engine.
10) The spark plugs of the electronic injection engine and the carburetor engine can not be
exchanged.
1) Always check the tire pressure to make tires keep a normal pressure. Too low tire pressure
easily causes tire side with cracks at an early stage, crown with abnormal wear and shoulder with too
early wear; besides, the rolling resistance will increase and the oil consumption will rise. Too high tire
第 22 页 共 221 页
pressure easily causes tire surface with too early wear, decreasing adhesion performance, and
extended brake distance. Besides, sideslipping always happens, and even seriously, the tire may
explode when the vehicle runs at a high speed.
2) The tire should be removed and installed by a special tire changer, and tested by a wheel
balancer. Wrong assembly or disassembly always causes the tire bead to be distorted or damaged,
influences the air tightness or brings about a bulge, and even more seriously results in fracture of
carcass cord and a discarded tire. If the wheels have not been adjusted by a balancer, the vehicle will
vibrate during running, and the noise will become louder and the tire may be abnormally worn and
then the service life of the tire will be reduced.
3) Pay attention to the regular tire rotation to decrease the wear of tires, ensure the performance
of vehicle and extend the service life of the tires.
4) Use the special tires for Lifan minivan. On the same vehicle, tires with different specifications
and treads are not allowed.
5) Wash away the mud and sand stone on the tire in time to avoid wheel vibration and damage
when the vehicle runs at a high speed.
6) During installation of wheel, be noted that the side with a red point mark should face outside.
Do not dry rub the vehicle body, nor wash the painting and organic glass by gasoline, kerosene,
trichloroethylene, strong lye and alcohol to avoid damage to the surface.
After the vehicle runs on the road defrosted by salt, wash the lower engine compartment and the
vehicle bottom to avoid corrosion.
IV. Notes for use and maintenance of vehicle with a three-way catalytic converter
Impure fuel may cause deposit of lead, zinc, sulphur and phosphor on the three-way catalytic
converter. Thus it may react excessively (due to over high HC content in exhaust gas) and age or be
damaged for overheat, and then it may lose effect. For the normal working of the three-way catalytic
converter and extend the service life, the content of lead, zinc, sulphur, phosphor and hydrocarbon
exhausted into the three-way catalytic converter should be reduced during use and maintenance.
2) Do not use gasoline additive and engine oil additive not accepted or recommended by Lifan.
4) Do not drive or stop vehicle on the road and place with flammable materials (e.g. hay,
gasoline, alcohol and organic solvent) to avoid that the three-way catalytic converter with a too high
temperature ignites the flammable materials and causes a fire.
5) In case of a hard cold starting of engine, it should be checked and maintained in time to
eliminate the fault of hard cold starting, so as to prevent the unburnt gasoline in the cylinder started
for several times from being discharged into the three-way catalytic converter and causing damage
due to its excessive reaction.
6) When the warning lamp illuminates due to over low fuel level, refill the oil tank with fuel, so as
to prevent the enlarged load of the three-way catalytic converter due to poor combustion of engine
第 23 页 共 221 页
and abnormal oil supply caused by the too low fuel level.
During maintenance, excessive HC exhausted into the three-way catalytic converter should be
avoided. Please pay attention to:
1) Do not judge the working condition of each cylinder by the method of cutoff for each cylinder
one by one.
2) When using a starter to start the engine to measure the cylinder pressure, the plug of the
injector must be pulled out.
3) Regularly check and clean the injectors, and in time eliminate faults like oil drop, channel
blockage and surface carbon deposit of injectors.
4) Regularly check the ignition system and in time eliminate faults like high-tension line falling off
or poor contact, carbon deposit in spark plug or burntout spark plug, bad ignition coil or circuit.

Chapter II Electronic Injection System
Section I Overview
The electronic control system of Lifan minivan is composed of the following three parts:
(1) Sensor---converting the non electric physical quantity of engine to electric quantity and
meanwhile sending information to ECU. Sensors for the electronic control system of LF6401 include:
① intake pressure and temperature sensor; ② throttle position sensor; ③ coolant temperature
sensor; ④ front heated oxygen sensor; ⑤ knock sensor; ⑥ crankshaft position sensor; ⑦ weak
acceleration sensor (G III with OBD and G VI configuration); ⑧ rear heated oxygen sensor;
(2) Electronic control unit---ECU, the brain of the whole electronic control system. It analyzes
and processes information from sensors and then sends the result to the actuators in form of order to
make the engine operate in a good condition.
(3) Actuator---carrying out the orders from ECU. Actuator is the hand and foot of the electric
control system. Actuators for the electronic control system of LF6401 include:
① injector; ② ignition coil; ③ idle speed stepper motor; ④ canister solenoid; ⑤ relay (fan, A/C,
oil pump and A/C compressor, etc.)

2. Installation position
This sensor is composed of the intake manifold absolute pressure sensor and the intake
temperature sensor. It is installed on the intake manifold.
3. Working principle
The element of the intake manifold absolute pressure sensor consists of a silicon chip. A
pressure diaphragm is etched on the silicon chip. There are 4 piezoresistances on the pressure
diaphragm. As strain elements, the four piezoresistances form a wheatstone bridge. Apart from the
pressure diaphragm, a signal processing circuit is also integrated on the silicon chip. The silicon chip
and a metal housing compose an enclosed reference space in which the air absolute pressure is
nearly zero, thus a microelectro mechanical system is formed. The active surface of the silicon chip
bears a pressure nearly zero and the back with an intake manifold absolute pressure to be tested and
introduced by a connection pipe. The silicon chip is a few μm in depth, so the change of the intake
manifold absolute pressure will deformate the silicon chip, and the four piezoresistances will also be
distorted with changing resistance. Voltage signals with a linear relation with the pressure are formed
after the signal and circuit processing of the silicon chip.
The intake temperature sensor element is a NTC resistance which will vary according to the
intake temperature. This sensor sends a voltage expressing the change of intake temperature to the
controller.
4. The intake temperature sensor element is a NTC resistance which will vary according
to the intake temperature. This sensor sends a voltage expressing the change of intake
temperature to the controller.
① Faults: misfire, poor idle speed, increased oil consumption and discharge.
② Common causes: 1. Abnormal high pressure or reverse large current during use; 2. vacuum
element damaged during maintenance.
③ Notes for maintenance: do not use high-pressure gas to impact the vacuum element during
maintenance; if there is need to replace the sensor for fault, check if the output voltage and
current of generator are normal.

2. Installation position
3. Working principle
This is an angle sensor with linear output and consists of two circular slide resistances and two
slide arms. The spindle of the slide arm and the throttle spindle are connected on the same axis. The
two ends of the slide resistance are added with a 5V power voltage US. When the throttle rotates, the
slide arm revolves also and moves on the slide resistance, and then transfers the potential UP of the
contact as output voltage. Therefore it is actually an angle potentiometer which outputs a voltage
signal in proportion to the throttle position.
1) Faults: engine without idle speed or unstable idle speed, hard acceleration or acceleration
failure, increased oil consumption and exhaust pollution.
2) Common causes:
① The poor contact between the sensor slip sheet and resistance results in that the signal is
interrupted or intermittent.
② Open circuit or short circuit in the sensor resistance or inner circuit causes no signal voltage
output or incorrect signal voltage.
③ The sensor slip sheet, resistance and other related parts are loose and distorted, causing an
incorrect signal voltage.

1) Faults: increased engine oil consumption and exhaust pollution, hard cold starting or starting
failure, intermittent misfire of engine and unstable idle speed
2) Common causes:

2. Installation position
3. Working principle
The knock sensor is a vibration acceleration sensor installed on the cylinder block. One or more
such sensors can be installed. The sensitive element of the sensor is a piezoelectric element. The
vibration of the engine cylinder block is transmitted to the piezoelectric crystal by the mass block in
the sensor. Because of the pressure from the vibration of the mass block, voltage is produced on the
two polar fronts and the piezoelectric crystal converts the vibration signal into alternate voltage signal
for output. The frequency of the vibration signal caused by engine knock is much higher than that of
the normal vibration signal of engine, so the ECU can distinguish knock signal or non knock signal
after the processing of signal from the knock sensor.
4. Notes
Do not let liquids like engine oil, coolant, brake fluid and water contact the sensor for a long time.
② Common cause: liquids like engine oil, coolant, brake fluid and water contact the sensor for a
long time, so the sensor is corrosive.

2. Installation position
3. Working principle
The sensing element of the oxygen sensor is a ceramic tube with holes. The outside of the tube
wall is surrounded by the exhaust of engine and inside with air. The ceramic tube wall is a solid
electrolyte within which there is an electric heating tube as shown in Fig.3-17. The oxygen sensor
works by transforming the oxygen ion concentration difference inside and outside the ceramic tube to
voltage signal output. When the ceramic tube reaches 350℃, it will enjoy the feature of solid
electrolyte. The special material can make the oxygen ions freely pass the ceramic tube. And the
sensor just uses this feature to transform the concentration difference to potential difference and then
the voltage signal output is produced. If the concentration of the gas mixture is relatively high, that of
the oxygen ions inside and outside the ceramic tube will be higher and also the potential difference,
and then a large amount of oxygen ions move from the inside to the outside and the output voltage is
higher (nearly 800mV-1,000mV); if the concentration of the gas mixture is relatively low, that of the
oxygen ions inside and outside the ceramic tube will be lower and also the potential difference, and
then only a few oxygen ions move from the inside to the outside and the output voltage is lower
(nearly 100mV). The signal voltage will suddenly change at stoichiometric ratio (λ=1), see the above
figure.
4. Notes
① Do not make the cable metal buckle beside the oxygen sensor heated improperly, especially
after the engine stops.
② Do not use cleaning detergent, oil liquid or volatile solid during maintenance.
1) Faults: increased engine oil consumption and exhaust pollution, unstable idle speed, misfiring
and hesitation.
第 33 页 共 221 页
Common causes:
① Lead poisoning due to use of leaded gasoline. Under a high temperature, the lead is attached
to the surface of the oxygen sensor, which results in that the sensor can not produce normal
signals.
② Carbon deposit. The carbon deposit on the platinum sheet of the oxygen sensor results in that
it can not produce normal voltage signals.
③ Poor contact or open circuit in the interior circuit in the oxygen sensor causes no output of
signal voltage.
④ Damage to the ceramic elements of oxygen sensor causes no normal signal voltage.
⑤ The burnout resistance wire of the oxygen sensor heater or its open circuit results in that the
oxygen sensor can not rapidly reach the normal working temperature.

The inductive speed sensor cooperates with the pulse wheel to offer information about engine
rotation speed and crankshaft upper dead center in distributorless ignition system. It is composed of a
permanent magnet and coil around it. The pulse wheel is a fluted disc installed on the crankshaft and
rotating with it. When the tooth top passes the end of the inductive speed sensor, the pulse wheel
made of ferromagnetic materials will cut the magnetic line of force of the permanent magnet in the
inductive speed sensor and then produce the induced voltage in the coil which is then output as
rotation speed signal.

Fig. 2-1-28 Circuit of the electric fuel pump
2. Installation position
3. Working principle
The electric fuel pump is composed of DC motor, vane pump and end cap (integrating check
valve, relief valve and anti-electromagnetic interference elements). The pump and the motor are
installed on the same axle and enclosed in the same housing. The pump and the motor are
surrounded by gasoline, and use fuel for heat emission and lubrication. The battery supplies power to
the electric fuel pump through the relay which only makes the circuit of electric fuel pump connected
when the engine is started and running. When the engine stops due to an accident, the fuel pump will
automatically stop operation.
The maximum pressure at the outlet of the electric fuel pump is decided by relief valve and is
always at 450-650kPa. The system adopts a no oil return system, thus the pressure of the whole fuel
system is decided by the fuel pressure regulator, always at 380kPa.
According to the demand of the engine, the electric fuel pump has different flows. For convenient
production, the electric fuel pump of the same structure adjusts the rotation speed of the motor by
adjusting the number of the turns of the coils and then further changes the flow. Thus please do not
install the electric fuel pump of a vehicle model to another model.
① The fuel pump should be taken out from the plastic packaging only during installation. The
protective cap can only be removed when the fuel pump is to be installed. The filter screen at the fuel
port must not be removed. Foreign materials entering the port or filter screen may cause damage to
the fuel pump. Please keep clean when installing the oil pipe.
②According to the demand of the engine, the electric fuel pump has different flows. Electric fuel
pump that is of the same appearance and can be installed is not necessarily proper. The part number
of the fuel pump used for maintenance must be the same with the original one; wrong replacement is
not allowed;
③ Do not operate the fuel pump in a dry state to avoid an accidental damage;
④ Pay attention to cleaning the fuel tank and pipeline and replace the fuel filter when the fuel
pump is needed to be replaced.
① Faults: loud noise during operation, poor acceleration, failure of starting (hard starting)

3. Working principle
ECU sends electric pulse to the coil of the fuel injector, forming magnetic force. When the
magnetic force increases enough to overcome the resultant force of return spring pressure, needle
valve gravity and friction, the needle valve will begin to go up and then the fuel injection will start.
When the injection pulse ends, the return spring pressure will make the needle valve close again.
2) Each fuel injector must be equipped with a specific plug which can not be mixed for use.
3) To be convenient for installation, clean non-silicon engine oil should be coated on the surface
of the upper O-ring connected with the fuel distribution pipe. Don’t let engine oil contaminate the inner
fuel injector and the injection orifice.
4) In the direction vertical to the fuel injector seat, the fuel injector should be installed into the
seat and should be fixed on the seat by clamp. Please pay attention to:
① Based on the locating method, the fuel injector clamp should be divided into the axial located
clamp and the axial-radial located clamp. Misuse should be avoided.
② During the installation for the axial located fuel injector, the mouth in the middle of the clamp
should be completely inserted into the slot of the fuel injector and the slots at the two sides of the
clamp should be completely inserted into the outer edge flanging of the fuel injector seat.
③ During the installation for the axial and radial located fuel injector, the axial-radial located
clamp should be used and the locating set of the fuel injector and the locating pin of the fuel injector
seat should be respectively placed at the corresponding slot on the locating clamp.
④ If the fuel injector has two clamp slots, they cannot be misused. The installation position
should follow the original. The fuel injector should be installed by hand and the use of tools like
hammer for knocking the fuel injector should be forbidden. When the fuel injector is removed or
re-installed, the O-ring should be replaced without damaging the seal face of the fuel injector. The
第 42 页 共 221 页
supporting washer of the O-ring should not be pulled out of the fuel injector. The inlet end, O-ring,
supporting ring, injection orifice plate and electric plug should not be damaged during the installation.
Any one broken shouldn’t be used. After the installation for the fuel injector is finished, leakage test
should be done for the fuel distribution pipe assembly. The one without leakage should be qualified.
5) The part out of work should be removed by hand. The clamp of the fuel injector should be
removed first and then the fuel injector should be pulled out of the seat. And the seat should be kept
clean after removal.
Faults: poor idle speed, bad acceleration, failing to start (hard to start), etc.
Common causes: lacking of maintenance causes gum deposit in the inner fuel injector and then
the injector is out of work.

6-diaphragm
2. Installation position
3. Working principle
The fuel pressure regulator is separated into the upper chamber and the lower chamber by a
piece of flexible diaphragm made of rubber-fibre. The upper chamber, leading to the air, is equipped
with spring inside. The lower chamber is full of fuel from the fuel feed holes around the bottom of the
pressure regulator. The part under the diaphragm receives the fuel pressure while the part above
receives air pressure and spring pressure. The diaphragm can be distorted to drive the valve seat,
opening or closing the valve. However, the distortion is very small and the force of the spring can be
considered to remain unchanged, therefore, the opening and closing of the valve is mainly decided by
difference between the fuel pressure of the lower chamber and the air pressure of the upper chamber.
For example, at first the valve is closed, and along with the increase of the fuel pressure, the pressure
difference between the upper chamber and the lower chamber increases, finally causing the
diaphragm to be jacked up by the fuel pressure, and then the valve opens. The fuel flows back to the
第 43 页 共 221 页
fuel tank through the spill port at the center of the pressure regulator and the fuel pressure decreases
until the valve is closed. In such a way, the difference between the pressure of the fuel system and
the air pressure can remain unchanged on the whole even if the working condition of the engine is
changed.
During the repair, the following should be noticed: ① high-pressure gas cannot be used for
impacting the diaphragm element; ② strongly corrosive liquid cannot be used for cleaning; ③
external force cannot be applied to it to avoid distortion.
1) Faults: difficulty in starting, unstable idle speed of the engine, increased pollution to the air

Fig. 2-1-38 Circuit diagram of the idle speed actuator stepper motor
2. Installation position
3. Working principle
Stepper motor is a mini-motor, which consists of many steel stators in a circle and a rotor, as
第 45 页 共 221 页
shown in the figure below. Each steel stator is wound with a coil and the rotor is a permanent magnet,
the center of which is a nut. All the stator coils are always electrified. Once the current direction of a
coil is changed, the rotor will pass by an angle. When each stator coil changes the current direction in
proper sequence, a rotating magnetic field will form to make the rotator made of permanent magnet
rotate according to some direction. If the sequence of the current direction is reversed, the rotating
direction of the rotator will be also reversed. The nut connected to the rotator center will drive a stem.
Designed not to rotate, the screw rod can only move at the axial direction, making another name,
linear axis, for itself. Therefore, the end of the stem, a choke plug, can be withdrawn or extended to
increase or decrease the sectional area of the bypass intake passage of the idle speed actuator until
it is blocked. When the current direction of a coil is changed, the rotator will pass by a certain angle
which is called step length with the numerical value equaling to 360°/the number of the stators or the
coils. The step length of this stepper motor rotator is 15°. Correspondingly, the distance of the step
the screw rod moves is fixed. ECU controls the steps the stepper motor moves through controlling the
number of times of changing the coil current direction, to adjust the sectional area of the bypass
passage and the air flow which has a linear relation with the step length on the whole. As shown in
the following figure, a spring is behind the choke plug of the screw rod end. The force which can be
used at the extending direction of the choke plug is the force of the stepper motor plus the spring
force. The force which can be used at the withdrawing direction of the choke plug is the force of the
stepper motor minus the spring force.
① No force can be exerted at the axial direction to press in or pull out the axis;
② Before the idle regulator with stepper motor is installed into the throttle body, its axis should
be completely withdrawn.
④ After accumulator or ECU is removed, self-learning should be done on the stepper motor. The
self-learning method of M7 system is: to open ignition switch and not to start engine at once which
should be started after 5s. If the idle speed of the engine is bad, the above processes should be
repeated.
① Faults: idle speed is too high or the engine stops at idle speed.
第 46 页 共 221 页
② Common causes: part of the bypass air passage is blocked by dust or oil gas deposit,
resulting in abnormal idle speed adjustment of the stepper motor.
③ Measuring methods:

On the engine
3. Working principle
The ignition coil is composed of primary winding, secondary winding, core, housing, etc. When the
voltage of the battery is added to the primary winding, the primary winding will be electrified. If ECU
cuts off the circuit of the primary winding, electrification will be stopped and high voltage will be
induced in the secondary winding.
1) Faults: the idle speed of the engine is unstable, or the engine stops intermittently or can not
start.
2) Common causes:
① Short circuit, open circuit or earth of the ignition coil makes the ignition coil produce too low
voltage or not produce high voltage, causing that the ignition energy is not enough or the ignition
doesn’t happen.
② The aging of ignition coil insulation material weakens the insulation performance and then the
spark of the ignition system will become weak or the ignition system will not ignite because of the
leakage of the ignition coil.
3) Notes for repair: short-circuit spark test should be prohibited for testing the ignition during the
repair, to avoid damaging electronic control unit.

2. Installation position
3. Working principle
CanCV canister control valve consists of solenoid coil, armature, valve, etc. At the inlet is the
filter screen. On one hand the air flow through the CanCV canister control valve is connected with the
duty ratio of the electric pulse which ECU outputs to the CanCV canister control valve, and on the
other hand it is also connected with pressure difference between the inlet and the outlet of the CanCV
canister control valve. Without electric pulse, the CanCV canister control valve will be closed.
① The airflow direction should meet the requirement during the installation.
② When black particles are found in the valve body to make the control valve stop working and
the control valve needs replacing, please check the canister.
③ Do not make liquid like water, oil enter the valve during the repair.
④ To avoid the transmission of the solid-borne noise, CanCV canister control valve should be
installed on the hose in a hanging way.
① Faults: excessive accumulation of gasoline vapor in the charcoal canister with the function out
of work causes gasoline leakage, polluting the environment.
② Common causes: Foreign material entering the valve causes rusting or weakens tightness.

3. Working principle
The canister functions to absorb gasoline vapor produced in fuel tank and make the passing air,
under the vacuum suction of the intake manifold, take away the gasoline vapor into the intake
manifold for combustion when the engine works and the canister vent control valve is opened by the
computer.
2) Common causes: the common fault of the canister is that dirty or broken canister can not
absorb gasoline vapor or the vent is hindered, resulting in that the fuel vapor can not be retrieved.
3) Fault inspection and repair: the inspection and repair method for the canister is as follows:
③ Start the engine. If the engine temperature reaches 60℃ or above, properly increase the
rotation speed of the engine (about 3500 r/min) and check if there is vacuum at the canister air pipe
connection (if suction exists). And the normal condition is that vacuum exists.
Abnormal result indicates that the canister is blocked and needs replacing.

Section II Fault Diagnosis
1. Fault record
The electronic control unit keeps monitoring sensor, actuator, relevant circuit, malfunction
indicator lamp, battery voltage and even itself and does reliability inspection on output signal of
sensor, drive signal of actuator and inner signal (like oxygen closed-loop control, knock control, idle
rotation speed control and battery voltage control). Once the electronic control unit finds fault exists at
a certain circle or some signal value is unreliable, it will set fault record in the fault memory of RAM.
Fault record is stored in the form of DTC and is shown in the sequence in which fault appears. Based
on the appearing frequency of fault, fault can be divided into stable-state fault and random fault (for
example, the fault is caused by open circuit of harness for a short time or by bad contact of interface).
2. Fault status
If the duration of an identified fault exceeds the set stabilization time for the first time, ECU will
consider it as a stable fault and will store it as “stable-state fault”. If this fault disappears, ECU will
store it as “random fault” and “nonexistent”. If this fault is identified again, it should still be “random
fault” but the “existing” historical fault will not influence the normal operation of the engine.
3. Type of fault
c. Open circuit (at the situation that the input stage has pull-up or pull-down resistor, ECU will
identify the fault of open circuit at the input port as the fault of short circuit of the input port to the
positive pole of the power or the fault of short circuit to the ground);
d. Unreliable signal
4. Limping home
If the duration of some important identified faults exceeds the set stabilization time, ECU will
adopt proper software policy, such as closing some control functions like closed-loop control of
oxygen sensor, setting value to replace some data which is considered as unreliable one. And at this
moment, though the working status of the engine is relatively bad, the vehicle could drive. And then
the vehicle could limp home or to the service station for inspection and repair, to avoid the
embarrassment that the vehicle breaks down on the expressway or in the wild. Once the fault is
identified to have disappeared, the normal data should be used again.
5. Fault warning
The vehicle with this system is equipped with malfunction indicator lamp, through the light of
which, ECU will send out warning at the corresponding faulty locations when fault happens to some
important parts like ECU, manifold absolute pressure sensor, throttle position sensor, coolant
temperature sensor, knock sensor, oxygen sensor, fuel injector, two drive stages of idle speed
actuator stepper motor, canister solenoid valve and fan relay, until the fault is reset.
6. Reading fault
第 52 页 共 221 页
Fault record could be called out from electronic control unit by diagnostic instrument. If the fault
involves the function of the regulator for the mixture proportion of fuel and air, the engine could read
the fault record only after rotating for some time.
After the fault is eliminated, the fault record in the memory should be cleared by means of:
a. Using diagnostic instrument to clear the fault record through the order “reset fault memory”;
b. Unpluging ECU connector or removing battery wire to clear the fault record in the external
RAM.
7. Finding fault:
After the fault record is gained through the above means, the part where the fault happens
could only be known roughly, which does not mean that the fault is found, because a fault could
be caused by a broken electronic unit (like sensor, actuator or ECU), or open circuit, short circuit
of the wire to ground or battery positive pole, or even the machinery fault. The fault appears
inside but it has all kinds of expressions outside. After the fault is found, the diagnostic
instrument should be used to check if there is fault record which could be also checked according
to the flash code and then the relevant fault should be eliminated based on the fault record.

Section III Diagnosis Procedure for Fault Elimination Based on
Vehicle Fault Phenomenon
I. Preliminary inspection
Before starting the diagnosis procedure for fault elimination based on the engine fault
phenomenon, the preliminary inspection should be carried out first:
3. Confirm the fault phenomenon complained by the vehicle owner exists and in which condition
the fault happens;
7. Check if the high-tension line of the ignition system is fractured and aged, and if the ignition
order is correct;
9. Check if there is looseness or poor contact of all the connectors of sensors and actuators.
Important notes:
If the phenomenon mentioned above exist, carry out maintenance to the faults first, otherwise, the
subsequent fault diagnosis and maintenance will be affected.
Diagnosis assistance:
3. No abnormal conditions are found after inspection following the steps above;
4. Do not ignore the effects of vehicle maintenance, cylinder pressure, mechanical ignition timing,
fuel oil, and etc.
If the fault can be eliminated now, the fault is in ECU, otherwise, replace back the original ECU,
repeat the process and carry out the check and repair again.

Lifan minivan adopts an arrangement with the engine placed at the middle in a vertical manner
and the drive shaft connecting the rear axle and rear wheel drive. The drive shaft is to transmit the
power of the transmission to the drive axle. See Fig. 3-1-1 for the structure of the drive shaft. The
drive shaft assembly consists of drive shaft and universal joint assembly, sleeve fork and flange fork.
The front part is fastened by the sleeve fork on the transmission output shaft spline and the rear part
is fixed by the flange fork on the flange of the drive axle drive gear with bolts. Each cross shaft of
universal joint is equipped with 4 needle roller bearings.

1. Visual inspection: Check the drive shaft, universal joint fork, sleeve fork and flange fork for
crack, break and bend.
2. If click or vibration noise of the universal joint is heard, check the universal joint, the cross
shaft in the universal joint fork or the spline for abrasion.
3. Check the flexibility of the drive shaft. Support the drive shaft on the V-iron and measure the
radius run-out of the shaft with a dial indicator, see Fig. 3-1-2. If the measurement value exceeds the
standard value (0-7 mm), correct it with cold pressure or heating straightening method; if fails, replace
the drive shaft.
4. Dynamic balance of the drive shaft. When the rotation speed is 4,000 r/min, the dynamic
unbalance should be no more than 10-15 g.cm.
1. The cross shaft should be without crack and metal peeling. The cross shaft bearing race and
the sleeve fork seat hole or the flange fork seat hole should be not loose.
3. The 2 bearing seat holes should be concentric. If the crack or bearing seat hole abrasion
exceeds the limit (carry out the check by putting the new cross shaft sleeve into the seat hole),
replace the sleeve fork or flange fork.
4. The sleeve fork on the transmission output shaft spline should move freely without block or
looseness. If the sleeve fork spline is abraded, replace it.

Section V Wheel and Tire
I. Overview
Wheel is an important part of the driving system and is used to uphold the whole vehicle, ensure
the sound contact between the vehicle and the ground, transmit the drive torque, brake torque and
side torque and reduce the shock from the ground with the suspension.
The vehicle is equipped with 14×5J steel rim. Type 175/70R14LT wheel tire without inner tube is
applied for the vehicle.
i. Appearance check
(1) Check the tire for abnormal abrasion, if so, find out the fault reason.
(2) Check the tire for crack and damage, if so, replace it.
(3) Check the tire surface for iron nail, gravel or impurities, if so, clean them.
(4) Check the tire pressure for meeting the specification in Table 3-5-1; if not, adjust it.
ii. See Table 3-5-2 for common faults and elimination methods of the wheel.
(1) Fault: fast abrasion of two crown shoulders, as shown in Fig. 3-5-2.
(2) Fault diagnosis: The contact area between the crown and the ground is widened for
第 107 页 共 221 页
insufficient tire pressure. The middle part of the tire bends and slightly arches outward, so the two
crown shoulders contact with the ground, which may accelerate the abrasion of two shoulders and
crack the tire surface in high-speed running. See Fig. 3-5-3.
(3) Cause and elimination methods: Insufficient tire pressure and too long driving time. The tire
pressure should be made up.
(1) Fault: Too early abrasion of the middle part of the crown. See Fig. 3-5-4.
(2) Fault diagnosis: High tire pressure may increase the contact area per unit and abrade the
middle part of the crown. The too heavy tensile stress undertaken by the cord ply thread may cause
the early wear.
(3) Cause and elimination methods: Too high tire pressure and insufficient rotation. Adjust the
tire pressure to the standard.
Fig. 3-5-3 Analysis of insufficient tire pressure Fig. 3-5-4 Too early abrasion of the middle part of
the crown.
Fig. 3-5-5 Analysis for the middle part abrasion of the crown
(2) Fault diagnosis: Excessive abrasion of the outer or inner part of the tire is related to the camber
angle of the wheel. The outside of the crown abrasion shows that the camber angle of the wheel is
too big, and the inside of the crown abrasion shows that the camber angle of the wheel is too small.
(3) Cause and elimination methods: Too big or small camber angle of the wheel. Find the cause of
the abnormality and adjust it to normality.
第 108 页 共 221 页
(1) Fault: See Fig. 3-5-6 for the zigzag abrasion of the crown.
(2) Fault diagnosis: The abrasion is always related to improper adjustment of toe-in when turning the
wheel. If the abrasion is from the outside to inside, the toe-in is too big; if the abrasion is from inside to
outside, the toe-in is too small.
(3) Cause and elimination methods: The size of toe-in may be changed due to the deformation of
the suspension rod or looseness of the joint. Try to avoid too big or small toe-in and adjust it to the
specified value.
(1) Fault: Partial tire abrasion with deboss (as shown in Fig. 3-5-7).
(2) Fault diagnosis: The abrasion is related to the dynamic unbalance of the wheel. When the
wheel is unbalanced, the wheel vibration may cause directional abrasion with deboss.
(3) Cause and elimination methods: The wheel abrasion with deboss is related to dynamic
unbalance of the wheel, so balance the wheel.
(1) Fault: Fan-shaped abrasion of one side of the crown. See Fig. 3-5-7.
(2) Fault diagnosis: Fan-shaped abrasion of tire may be caused by no tire rotation for a long time or
improper position of the suspension.
(3) Cause and elimination methods: Regularly change the tire position, check and eliminate the
suspension fault.
(1) Fault: Excessive abrasion of some tire while little abrasion of other tires.
第 109 页 共 221 页
(2) Fault diagnosis: Check the suspension of the abraded tire, wheel location, wheel hub bearing gap,
wheel balance and rim deformation to find out the reason. The excessive abrasion of the crown
shows that the wheel camber angle is not standard. If the camber angle is too big, the outside of the
crown may be abraded too early; if the camber angle is too small, the inside of the crown may be
excessively abraded.
1) The abnormality of suspension system of the excessive abrasion wheel and deformation of
the supporting part may cause the abnormal single wheel location and overloading. Check the single
suspension spring, shock damper and the wheel location to find out and eliminate the fault.
2) Adjust and replace the wheel hub bearing due to its too large gap.
3) Excessive abrasion is caused by overloading of single tire due to wheel unbalance. Dynamic
balance inspection should be made.
(2) Fault diagnosis: Too large tire body stress and partial damage of the cord ply.
(3) Cause and elimination methods: High tire pressure causes bump on the tire due to too large
stress, or damaged tire bead during manual repair or tire removal. Replace the tire with large bump.
In addition, inflate the tire according to the specified air pressure, install and removal the tire on the
special tire changer to eliminate or reduce the bump.
i. Wheel removal
1. Unscrew the wheel nut for 180° (half-turn), see Fig. 3-5-8.
Note: Never loosen the tight wheel through heating, which may shorten the useful life of the wheel.
第 110 页 共 221 页
Note:
1. Orderly tighten the wheel nuts to a proper torque to avoid bend of the wheel or brake disc.
See Fig. 3-5-9.
2. Before the installation, scrape off the rust on the mounting surface of the wheel or brake disc,
or brush it off with a steel brush.
3. While installation, align the wheel mounting surface with the brake to avoid looseness of the
wheel nut.
1. Tire removal
Firstly, remove the wheel from the vehicle, and then remove the tire on the tire changer. Never
remove the tire with hands, which may damage the bead and rim. Never knock the rim and heavily
pry it with a tommy bar, to avoid deformation and damage to air impermeability. Tire and wheel
supporting installation should be done in the assembly plant, i.e. the “light point” of the tire should be
matched with the “heavy point” of the wheel to maintain steady driving.
(2) Loosen the joint between the tire and rim on the tire changer, rotate the tire and repeatedly
extrude it, and overturn the tire to loosen the other side. As shown in Fig. 3-5-10.
(4) Place the wheel rim on the working plate 6 with its convex surface facing upward (as shown
in Fig. 3-5-10), slightly press it and control the pedal to firmly clip the bead.
(5) Apply a little lubricant on the rim edge. Press it down and fix the lifting rod to form a gap about
3 mm between the changer 7, 8 (as shown in Fig. 3-5-10) and the rim edge.

join the F end of the changer. See Fig. 3-5-11.
(7) Operate the pedal to start the working plate till the tire edge is completely removed.
(8) Remove the other outer tire edge with the above method.
2. Tire service
Most of the tire holes can be repaired with a service plug or vulcanizing sticking patch from the
inside of the tire. The two methods are as follows:
1) File up the near side of the inner tire hole with a tire-repairing file.
2) Choose a larger service plug and insert it into the oillet of the lead tool.
3) Lubricate the service plug and lead tool by vulcanized liquid.
4) Insert the service plug in the hole from the inside of the tire with the lead tool.
(As shown in Fig. 3-5-12), heavily extrude the plug head to make the service plug head fit with the
inside of the tire.
5) Leave the service plug at 0.8mm to the bead surface, and cut other parts.
1) File up the near side of the inner tire hole with a tire-repairing file.
2) Evenly apply the vulcanized liquid for the filed surface in the tire and dry in the air to reach the
stickiness.
3) Peel off the protective cover of the tire-repairing patch, align the center of the patch with the
inner tire hole, and adhere the patch to the hole.
第 112 页 共 221 页
4) Move forward and backward on the tire-repairing patch with a press-fit tool to firmly affix the
patch to the tire.
3. Tire installation
Tire installation should be done on the tire changer. Pay attention to the marks on the tire. The
side with red mark should be outward. Align the repaired tire with the mark made in the removal. The
installation steps are as follows:
(2) Fix the rim on the working plate (see Fig. 3-5-13), and lubricate the surface of the bead with
lubricant.
(3) Put the tire on the rim and inlay its left side and close-body side into the groove in the middle
of the rim.
(4) Adjust the changer 7 and 8 to proper position, lock the lifting rod and place the right tire edge
that is put into the rib groove on the G end and under the F end of the changer. See Fig. 3-5-13.
(5) Hold down the tire with hands and start the work bench to install one side of the tire edge.
(6) Evenly install the other side of the tire edge on the rim with the above method. Inflate the tire
and make dynamic balance inspection after the installation.
Note: Never stand on the tire while inflating, otherwise, the tire crack may injure the personnel.
Never exceed the specified tire pressure. If the bead doesn’t fall to the ground, deflate the tire. And
then re-lubricate the tire and inflate it.
Wheel balance
There are static balance and dynamic balance for the wheel and tire. See Fig. 3-5-14 for the
static balance. The weight is averagely distributed around the wheel. The wheel may hop (vertically
swing) due to non static balance. As a result, the wheel may be abraded unevenly.
See Fig. 3-5-14 for the dynamic balance. The weight is evenly distributed at both sides of the
center line to avoid swinging from right to left while running. The vehicle may horizontally swing due
to dynamic unbalance.

1. Check the roller and roller path of the bearing for oil-fired sign or metal peeling and pocking
mark, if any, please replace it.
2. Check the gear for eccentric wear or excessive wear, if any, please adjust or repair it.
ii. Check and adjustment of the differential half axle gear clearance
1. Check
The standard value of the differential half axle gear clearance is 0.05-0.15mm. The clearance
can be measured by flattening the soft fuse.
The half axle gear clearance can be reflected through half axle gear thrust clearance. Place a
washer on the half axle gear and measure it by dialgauge, as shown in Fig. 3-6-2. The thrust
clearance of the half axle gear must not exceed 0.37mm.
第 115 页 共 221 页
Fig. 3-6-2 Differential half axle gear clearance
2. Adjustment
The differential half axle gear clearance can be realized through altering the half axle gear thrust
washer. There are four kinds of thickness for thrust washer, i.e. 0.9mm, 1.0mm, 1.1mm and 1.2mm.
Install the special tools (installation and repairing tools for cone driving gear) with bearing on the final
drive, connect the spring balance pulling hook to the excircle edge and loosen the shaft end nut of the
cone driving gear. When the initial motoricity of the flange is 9.8-25.5N (1.0-2.6), the preload of the
cone driving gear bearing should reach 50-130 N.M. See Fig. 3-6-3. If not applicable, it can be
adjusted through altering the thickness of the washer placed between the distance piece and the
bearing inner race. If the thickness of the washer is increased, the preload of the bearing will be
reduced, and vice verse.

calculated and a+c=85.
There are 5 kinds of shim of different thickness for the vehicle, i.e. 0.05mm, 0.1mm, 0.2mm, 0.3mm
and 0.5mm. In the selection and combination of shims, the total shim thickness should be in
conformity with the required shim thickness as much as possible, and then insert the shim selected
into the clearance “d”, as shown in Fig. 3-6-8.
85MM
3. Check and adjustment of the cone driving and driven gear tooth surface position of
engagement.
Check the mark of engagement of the cone driving gear. See Table 3-6-1 for common marks of
engagement. In which (a) is normal contact type, which requires: the mark on the cone driven gear is
in the middle of the tooth depth, near the small end and occupying over 60% of the tooth width. The
rest is normal contact, which must be adjusted or processed as per Table 3-6-1.
4. Adjustment of the final drive cone driving and driven gear clearance
Install the dialgauge as per Fig. 3-6-9 and let it face to the root of the convex side of the gear.
Check the bearing cap bolt. The torque is 15N.M. And then grasp the cone driving gear and turn the
cone driven gear round and round. The indication of the dialgauge at the moment is the clearance
value and the standard value should be 0.10-0.20m. If not applicable, it can be adjusted through the
differential adjust nut.

Section VII Brake System
Note:
All the fasteners on the brake connection are very important, because they will influence the
performance of main parts and the system and increase maintenance costs. When necessary, it is
required to use the parts of same part No. or equivalent parts rather than defective products or
replace parts to replace the old ones. For reassembly, all the parts must be screwed down as per the
specified torque. The welding method is prohibited, because welding may result in large-area
damage and softening.
I. Structure
The brake system is divided into service brake system and parking brake system.
The service brake system is composed of vacuum booster with brake master cylinder assembly,
brake pipeline, wheel cylinder, loading sensing pressure proportioning valve, etc., as shown
in Fig. 3-7-1.

The parking brake system is composed of brake lever assembly, brake cable assembly, etc. See Fig.
3-7-2 for the structure of rear wheel brake and parking brake system.

The brake pedal free travel is the travel of the brake pedal within the period when the brake
pedal is depressed to the brake master cylinder starts to work. The brake pedal free travel reflects the
total clearance of the brake drive units, if it is too large or too small, it will influence the braking
efficiency. The free travel is 6-12mm, if not as specified, the pedal axle bolt and the master cylinder
pin should be checked for loose and the installation position of the brake lamp switch should be
checked for appropriate.
The brake pedal travel is the moving distance of the brake pedal when it is depressed with the
force of 294N (30kg) by depressing the brake pedal for several times after the engine starts to work.
The pedal travel (50-75mm) of Lifan minivan is measured by the distance between the pedal and the
inner wall of the dash board, which should be more than 155mm.
Fig. 3-7-3 Brake pedal travel Fig. 3-7-4 Brake pedal free height
第 122 页 共 221 页
a
The brake pedal free height is the distance between the brake pedal and the inner wall of the
dash board (see Fig. 3-7-4) when the brake pedal is in free status. The brake pedal free height can be
realized through releasing the brake master cylinder push-rod fork lock nut, adjusting the push-rod
fork lock nut and adjusting the push-rod fork (see Fig. 3-7-5). The standard for adjustment: the
distance a between the installation surface of the vacuum booster and the center of the push-rod fork
pin hole is 99.5-100.5vmm. When adjusting the brake pedal free height, the position of the brake
switch should also be adjusted.
It is required to pull the parking brake lever with the force of 196N (20kg) and output the number of
teeth of the ratchet through the “click” sound produced by the ratchet, which should be 6-8. If the
number of teeth is few, it is difficult to release the parking brake; if the number of teeth is excessive, it
is difficult to tighten the parking brake. If the number of teeth is not in conformity with the standard, it
can be adjusted through the cable adjust nut at the back of the parking brake lever assembly. See Fig.
3-7-6. The adjustment of the parking brake should pay attention to:
(1) Ensure that the clearance between the two rear wheels is in specified range. The rear wheel
shoes can not be over worn.
(3) Depress the brake pedal for several times before adjustment and pull the parking brake lever
to the maximum for several times.

There are the highest and lowest marks for the brake fluid level on the brake master cylinder
fluid reservoir. If the brake fluid is insufficient, please add in time; if the fluid level decreases too much
in a short time, please check for leakage.
第 123 页 共 221 页
The brake fluid is provided with hygroscopicity, which is able to absorb the water content in the
air. Excessive water content will reduce the braking efficiency, so the brake fluid should be replaced
regularly.
For adding or replacing brake fluid, the brake fluid of specified brand should be used. The brake
fluid of different brand contains different chemical composition. Filling mixed brake fluid will damage
the parts of the brake system and influence the safety performance.
After the brake pipeline is removed or subjected to leakage, the brake system will be filled with
air, at the same time, the aerification of the brake fluid will also generate air in the brake pipeline. If
there is air in the brake system, the brake pedal will feel spongy, the brake pedal travel when braking
will increase, the braking efficiency will be reduced, and this may result in brake failure in severe
cases. So if there is air in the brake system, it must be bled fully.
The bleeding should be done by two persons cooperatively as per the following steps:
(1) Check the brake fluid level in the brake master cylinder fluid reservoir, the fluid level should
be in the standard range.
(2) Remove the air bleed nut at the brake caliper, insert one end of the special hose into the air
bleed plug and insert the other end into the reservoir with brake fluid.
(3) After depressing the brake pedal for several times continuously, keep it depressed and
loosen the air bleed plug with wrench till fluid gets out. When the fluid in the cylinder is almost fully
bled, screw down the air bleed plug once again.
(4) Repeat the above operation till no air bubble emerging in the hydraulic pipe. Continuously
observe the fluid level in the brake master cylinder fluid reservoir in the process of air bleed, add
immediately when the fluid level is too low.
(5) After no air bubble, screw down the air bleed plug with the brake pedal depressed.
(6) Bleed air for other wheels’ brake pipelines in the same way.
(7) Check if the brake pedal is spongy, if any, please repeat the air bleed steps.
(8) Recheck the height of the brake fluid level to make it reach the specified level.
The brake booster can be checked using instrument or simple method, for maintenance, simple
method is priority.
Start the engine and let it run for 1-2 minute(s), and then close the engine, depress the brake
pedal for several times, the height of the brake pedal above ground level should increase gradually
(especially for the first and the second time). If so, it indicates good air tightness for the vacuum
booster. If the pedal height doesn’t change or changes a little, it indicates poor air tightness for the
brake booster, for which the vacuum pipeline and the inner side of the brake booster should be
checked for leakage.
Start the engine and let it run for 1-2 minute(s), and then depress the brake pedal, and close the
第 124 页 共 221 页
engine with the pedal force unchanged, the height of the brake pedal should not change in 30
seconds. If any change, it indicates fault of the brake booster.
3. Functional check
When the engine doesn’t work, depress the brake pedal for several times with the same force till
the pedal travel doesn’t change any more, depress the brake pedal by foot and start the engine, for
the time being, it is able to feel slight downward movement of the brake pedal, which indicates that
the brake booster works well. If the pedal travel doesn’t change, it indicates fault of the brake booster.
(1) The brake pipeline should be free of oil leakage, deformation, corrosion, damage, etc.
(3) The brake pipeline should be fixed firmly and be free of collision, friction, etc. with other parts.

(2) The hydraulic pressure control part is composed of plunger and proportioning control valve
system, etc.
(3) The failsafe part is composed of piston chamber and failsafe piston, etc. The piston chamber
absorbs hydraulic pressure through the front wheel brake. When a fault happens to the front wheel
brake system, the failsafe piston will release valve system pressure to connect this system with the
rear wheel brake.
2. Visual inspection
(1) Check if LSPV spring carrier, rod or oil pipe is deformed, if any, please do the repair.
(2) Check if there is leakage at LSPV assembly, if any, please do the repair.
Park vehicle on level ground, as shown in Fig. 3-7-21. Push LSPV rod upwards with hand until it can
not be pushed. Measure the spring length “L”, which should be 305 mm. If it doesn’t conform to
regulation, please adjust it through nut a.
Before the test, fill up the fuel tank and ensure the standby tire, tools, jack and jack handle in
place.
(1) Install the pressure indicator on the front and rear brake, slowly add the weight to the rear

(2) Gradually step down the brake pedal to keep the pressure of the front brake in the specified
range, and check if the pressure of the rear brake is in the specified range. The specified pressure of
the front brake is 4200~5600kpa.
(3) While meeting the above requirements, apply the pressure of 10,000kpa on the front brake.
Check if the pressure of the rear brake is 4,800~6,200kpa; if not, change the tightening position of
bolt a, adjust it orderly, as shown in Fig. 3-7-23. If the pressure of the rear brake is higher than the
specified value, screw up bolt a downward; to the contrary, screw up bolt a upward till the pressure of
the rear brake meets the specified technical requirements. After that, screw down the nut with
specified torque.

(5) After the test, dismantle the hydraulic pressure indicator or oil pipe, exhaust the brake system
and make the brake efficiency meet the requirements.
Method of depressing brake pedal should be used for checking. If the height of the pedal
increases gradually and elasticity is felt, depress the brake pedal again after the vehicle drives for a
moment. If the brake pedal is sensed to be too low, there may be air in the brake system.
(2) Depress the brake pedal once. If the pedal is too low, depress it for several times
continuously and the height of the pedal becomes normal, which may be caused by that the free
travel of the pedal is too big or that the brake clearance is too big.
第 133 页 共 221 页
(3) The brake pedal is depressed and the pedal height is normal but braking efficiency is poor,
which is generally a fault of wheel brake, such as oil stain on brake shoe, bad contact of brake shoe,
aging or broken lining, uneven wear of brake hub, etc.
2. Braking drag
(1) If there is braking drag for the four wheels, it is generally a fault of brake master cylinder.
(2) If there is braking drag for one or two wheels, lift the vehicle with jack and loosen bleed bolts
of the drag wheel to let brake fluid flow out through bleed hole. If drag disappears, the fault may be
caused by that the oil return of brake master cylinder or the brake line is not smooth, or that the free
travel of the brake pedal is too big. If there is still drag, the fault may be caused by that brake
clearance is too small, brake shoe return spring is too soft or parking brake system is blocked.

Chapter IV Electrical System
Section I Overview
The operating power of the electrical element is supplied by battery or generator, with standard
voltage of 12V. The electrical system adopts negative earth.
The following notes should be obeyed in the relevant electrical system maintenance to protect
electrical elements and avoid fire disaster.
1. Firstly check the ignition switch and all other switches for closing when taking town the battery
from the vehicle or disconnecting the lead from the battery terminal to check and maintain the
electrical system. Otherwise, the semiconductor element may be damaged.
2. Firstly disconnect the negative terminal and then the positive terminal to disconnect the lead
from the battery. Connect the lead with the battery in a reverse order of disconnection.
3. Never pull or drag the harness when disconnecting the interface. Firstly open the lock pin of
the interface, and then grasp the joint with hands to disconnect it. When connecting the interface,
grasp the joint with hands and push the interface in till it’s firmly locked.
4. When installing parts for the vehicle, the part should never block the harness or press the
harness.
5. To avoid damaging the harness, twine the harness contacting with the edge with PVC tape.
6. Use the fuse with specified current fusing value. Using the fuse with larger fusing value may
burn the electrical parts or cause fire disaster.
7. Be careful not to treat the spare parts of the electrical appliances with hand rudely or make
them fall off.
8. If the surrounding temperature exceeds 80℃, remove the electrical parts with poor
resistance-to-high-temperature during the maintenance.
9. Never contact the interface and electrical elements with water; otherwise, it may cause failure.
10. Insert the probe of the inspection equipment from the harness side when checking the
conduction or measuring the voltage with inspection equipment.

Chapter V A/C System
Section I A/C System Overview
The A/C system of Lifan micro cars integrates the functions of refrigerating, heating and
ventilation. In summer, the A/C could be used to lower the temperature in the compartment, and in
winter, it could be used for heating and defrosting/defogging. The A/C system is characterized by its
compact structure, easy operation and multifunction.
The refrigeration system consists of compressor, evaporator, condenser with fluid drier, expansion
valve, blower and control mechanism, etc., see Fig. 5-1-1.

The refrigeration principle of the refrigerating system in a Lifan vehicle is shown in Fig. 5-1-2.
Firstly, the compressor driven by the engine extracts the gaseous refrigerant from the evaporator and
presses it into the condenser. Secondly, when the high-pressure gaseous refrigerant flows past the
condenser (liquefaction), heat exchange (releasing heat) occurs and then the heat is taken by the air
outside. Thirdly, under the throttling effect of the expansion valve, the high-pressure liquid refrigerant
is depressurized; and the low-pressure liquid refrigerant is gasified in the evaporator, thus heat
exchange occurs (absorbing heat); then the cooled air near the evaporator will be blown into the
compartment. Fourthly, the gaseous refrigerant is extracted from the evaporator and pressed into the
condenser by the compressor. By this way, the refrigerant will flow in a circular and closed manner,
and the heat in the compartment could be expelled out so that the temperature in the compartment
would drop to a suitable degree, as shown in Fig. 5-1-2.
第 175 页 共 221 页
Fig. 5-1-2 Refrigerating schematic diagram
Water heating is adopted in the heating system. The heat source is the engine coolant. The
system consists of a heat exchanger, coolant pipeline, a blower, air duct, control mechanism, etc.,
among which the blower and air duct are shared by the refrigerating system.
When engine works, heated by the high temperature of the engine cylinder, the coolant is
pumped into the heat exchanger through water pipe by the water pump of the cooling system. Air
from blower can take the heat given off by the coolant into the vehicle or the windscreen to raise the
temperature in the vehicle or defrost. After the cooling process in the heat exchanger, coolant is
pumped back by water pump. Repeating the circulation can make warm air heating. As shown in Fig.
5-1-3.
Function of the A/C control system is to ensure that the A/C system will operate effectively at any
time and to ensure safe operation of the A/C system and the engine.
The evaporator mainly consists of temperature sensor, A/C controller, etc. When the
temperature of evaporator changes, the resistance of sensor changes accordingly, making A/C
controller receive the relevant voltage signal of the temperature, which controls the work of
electromagnetic clutch relay: when connecting electromagnetic clutch relay, compressor
electromagnetic clutch connects, compressor starts to work, and the temperature will decrease; when
disconnecting the electromagnetic clutch relay, compressor electromagnetic clutch disconnects,
第 176 页 共 221 页
compressor stops working, and the temperature will increase. By controlling compressor, air
conditioning control system maintains the refrigeration temperature in the set range.
2. To reduce the engine load under certain circumstances, electronic fuel injection engine also
controls the compressor: when engine starts, drives off, suddenly accelerates and overspeeds, the
air conditioner compressor stops working.
Security protection control mainly guarantees the normal operation of the system. Monitoring the
system pressure and temperature by the pressure switch can realize the security protection control.
Functions of security protection control as follows:
1) Low pressure protection: for pressure below 0.196±0.02 MPa, pressure switch switches off,
the power of compressor clutch is cut off, and compressor stops working;
2) Over pressure protection: for pressure over 3.14±0.2 MPa, pressure switch switches off, the
power of compressor clutch is cut off, and compressor stops working;
3) Low temperature protection: for temperature below 2.5℃ sensed by evaporator temperature
sensor, the power of compressor clutch is cut off, and compressor stops working;
4) High temperature protection: for temperature over 125℃ sensed by coolant temperature
sensor, apply overheat protection for compressor. Then the power of compressor clutch is cut off,
and compressor stops working.
4. Engine cooling system (electric fan) control. Engine cooling system control consists of coolant
temperature sensor, engine ECM, 1#, 2#, 3# electric fan control relay, cooling fan, cooling fan
regulation resistor, condensation fan and relevant circuits. Depending on relevant temperature
sensors and switching signals, engine ECM controls the on off state of relevant fan control relay
circuits, as follows:
1) For coolant temperature of 93℃~96℃, engine ECM electrifies 1# relay and 3# relay. Then the
2 electric fans are connected in parallel and work at low speed simultaneously.
2) For coolant temperature of 98℃~100℃, engine ECM electrifies 2# relay. Then the cooling fan
works at high speed.
3) For coolant temperature reaching 110℃, instrument cluster lightens the warning lamp.
4) While the air conditioner switch is closing, the electric fan works at low speed no matter
coolant temperature is high or low.
5) For the pressure of air conditioning refrigeration system over or equal to 1.52±0.2MPa, the
electric fan works at high speed.
6) For abnormal coolant temperature signals (broken coolant temperature sensor), engine ECM
will judge the engine runs with heavy load, and the electric fan works at high speed.

Section III Performance Parameter of A/C System Components
Performance parameter of A/C system components of the vehicle
i. Visual inspection
1. The A/C system inoperative or non-stationary will show some symptoms, which can be
found out conveniently through visual inspection (watch with eyes, touch with hands and hear
with ears) and solved quickly.
1) Carefully inspect the pipe line for damage as well as the surface of the condenser and
evaporator for crack or oil stain. If there is oil stain on the condenser, evaporator or pipe, it is
necessary to check for leakage with soap bubble method. The locations to be carefully checked are
as follows:
③ Compressor oil seal, front & rear cover plate, and gasket;
① If the flow of the liquid is normal, with an air bubble occasionally, the refrigerant is normal.
② If clear, without air bubble, the refrigerant is full or no refrigerant in the pipe. If it is cold at the
air outlet, the refrigerant is normal. If it is not cold at the air outlet, the entire refrigerant may have
leaked out.
3) Check the electrical line, and carefully check the related joint for normal connection.
Turn on the A/C switch, and run the refrigerating compressor for 10~20 minutes, after that, touch
the pipes and parts at the high pressure end of the A/C refrigerating system by hand. The
temperature along compressor outlet → condenser → dryer → expansion valve inlet should be hot to
warm.
If it is very hot at certain location along the line, the system is under poor cooling. If the parts
along the line are cool, the A/C refrigerating system may have such troubles as blockage, without
refrigerant, inoperative compressor or poor operation of compressor.
Turn on the A/C switch, and run the refrigerating compressor for 10~20 minutes, after that, touch
the pipes and parts at the low pressure end of the A/C refrigerating system by hand. The temperature
from evaporator to compressor inlet should be cool to cold. If not cool or frost found at certain location,
the refrigerating system is abnormal.
第 182 页 共 221 页
Turn on the A/C switch, and run the refrigerating compressor for 10~20 minutes, after that, touch
both the inlet and outlet ends of the compressor by hand. The high pressure and low pressure end of
the compressor should have obvious temperature difference.
If the temperature difference is not obvious or no temperature difference is felt, the refrigerant
may have been completely used or be quite insufficient.
Check the lead connector for normal connection by hand. The connector of the A/C system line
should not be loose and hot. If loose or hot, the contact within the connector is poor, so that the A/C
system can not work or work normally.
Carefully listen if there is abnormal noise from the compressor and if the compressor is under
operation to check if the failure or poor operation of the A/C system is caused by the compressor or
the compressor control circuit.
1) Control circuit fuse blown---replace new fuse with the same specification.
2) Control line or ground cable broken---check each terminal or ground cable for normal
connection, if not, connect again.
3) Blower relay damage---Check blower relay coil and the contact point for damage. Repair or
replace if damaged.
4) Electromagnetic clutch coil burnt---check if there is circuit in the clutch coil. If not, repair or
replace.
5) Electronic temperature controller damage---Check the thermal resistor temperature sensor for
damage and the thermal resistor for normal performance. Repair or replace if any trouble occurs.
6) Pressure switch fault---Fill 300KPa(G) refrigerant into the refrigerating system. If the
refrigerating system recovers for work, the low pressure switch is normal. If the system fails to
recover, the low pressure switch is abnormal. Then, short the pressure switch. If the system begins to
work, the pressure switch is abnormal. The shorting method can also be used for high pressure
switch. Any pressure switch with fault should be repaired or replaced.
7) Blower not rotates---Check if the circuit of the blower is normal, the blade of the blower is
blocked and the motor of the blower is burnt.
1) The refrigerant is too little---high & low pressure too low. Check for leakage and repair, and
refill refrigerant till the pressure becomes normal.
2) The refrigerant is too much---high & low pressure too high and the pressure indicator shakes
strongly. Recycle the refrigerant, create vacuum again and fill the refrigerant of fixed amount.
3) With water in the system---after the A/C has worked for a period, low pressure & vacuum,
frosty expansion valve, ice block, and not being cold at the air outlet occur, and if reopen the A/C after
stopping for a moment, the A/C can work normally again. However, the above mentioned troubles will
appear again soon. Under such a situation, the wet air may come into the system or there is too much
water in the refrigerant and refrigerant oil. At this moment, the dryer should be replaced and the time
for creating vacuum should be longer and then refill refrigerant and lubricant.
第 183 页 共 221 页
4) With dirt in the system---vacuum at the low pressure side, pressure at the high pressure side
too low, frost or dew formed on the front and rear pipe of the fluid dryer or expansion valve, outlet air
not cold, and the troubles still exist after stopping the A/C for a while. Actually, the system is blocked
by dirt. Then, replace the fluid dryer and the dirty and blocked parts.
5) Compressor damage, with leakage from the internal---the low pressure is too high and the
high pressure is too low, and sometimes with abnormal knock noise from the compressor. Then,
replace the compressor.
6) The drive belt of the compressor is too loose---the rotation speed of the compressor is too low
and the outlet air is not cold and the noise from the slip of the belt can be heard. Adjust the tensioning
force of the drive belt or replace the drive belt.
7) Slipping of the compressor clutch---the compressor can not operate normally. Remove the
clutch for repair or replacement.
8) Little cooling wind of condenser---high & low pressure too high. Check the rotation speed of
the blower and the wind speed switch for normal operation.
9) The condenser fin is blocked by dust---high pressure too high, with poor cooling effect. Then,
clean up the dust on the condenser.
10) Little wind from evaporator---wide frost on the surface of the evaporator and the wind at the
outlet not cold. Check blower switch and relay or replace the blower.
11) The evaporator fin is blocked by dust---less wind. Blow with nitrogen or compressed air.
12) The air filter net of the evaporator is blocked by the dust or foreign materials---less wind.
Wash or replace the air filter net.
13) Excessive opening of the expansion valve---both high & low pressure too high, and the
excessive refrigerant flowing through the evaporator can not be completely evaporated. Replace an
expansion value with appropriate opening.
14) Leakage of expansion valve power head---expansion valve blocked and both the high & low
pressure too low. Replace expansion valve.
15) Too much lubricant in the system---both high & low pressure too high and turbid stripe can
be seen from the sight glass. Then, let out the excessive lubricant.
16) The A/C fresh air door not firmly closed---a large quantity of high temperature air outside the
vehicle coming in. Then, close the fresh air door firmly.
17) HVAC cooling/heating air door not firmly closed---air is heated. Then, close the
cooling/heating air door firmly.
18) A/C air duct is blocked---little wind and more noise. Remove the blocking materials in the
duct.
Main reasons include: the system is blocked by ice, temperature sensor & relay failure, slipping
of compressor clutch and poor contact of coil.
1) Controller and relay failure, the slipping of compressor clutch, and poor contact of coil.
第 184 页 共 221 页
2) Loose contact of compressor clutch coil, poor grounding and loose connection---the clutch will
be separated too early during operation. Then, tighten the connector.
3) Temperature sensor abnormal---serious frost on the surface of the evaporator, without cold air.
Then, replace temperature sensor.
6. A/C noise too high
1) Noise from blower, compressor, drive belt and the collision of parts;
3) Abnormal opening of cooling/heating air door---check the working mode of the cooling/heating
air door;
5) The hot water pipe of the heater is blocked by the accumulated dirt---replace heater;
6) Insufficient cooling water for engine---check the cooling system for leakage, and repair and
add cooling water;
8) There is air in the core tube of the heater, and discharge the air in the pipe.

(5) Check the leaking and adding amount of the refrigerant for the system.
2. Recycle of refrigerant
Use recycling device and equipment to recycle the refrigerant escaping from the A/C system.
Note: (1) The requirements of equipment instruction book must be followed while handling the
recycling equipment.
(2) The air in the A/C system should always been exhausted by vacuum pump. The A/C
system must be equipped with intake/exhaust manifold pressure indicator and the duration to create
vacuum must be about 15 minutes.
Caution: Do not create vacuum until the refrigerant has been recycled.
Connect the high and low pressure air-filling hose of the exhaust manifold pressure indicator as
per the following order respectively.

Run the vacuum pump and open the valve of the manifold pressure indicator at the inlet side. If
no blockage in the system, display will be found on the high pressure indicator. Under such a
situation, open the valve of the inlet (exhaust) manifold instrument at the other side.
If no leakage occurs, the vacuum below 760mmHg will be showed on the low pressure indicator
about 10 minutes later.
Note:
If no vacuum below 760mmHg of the system is displayed, please close the two valves and then
stop the vacuum pump and carefully observe the movement of the needle of the low pressure
instrument. If the pressure increases, there exists leakage. Under such a situation, the A/C system
must be repaired before creating vacuum.
If the pressure is stable, no leakage occurs. Then, please keep on creating vacuum.
Keep on creating vacuum until the vacuum displayed on the low pressure indicator is below
760mmHg. Then, close the two valves.
Stop the vacuum pump and remove the central air-filling hose from the inlet of the pump. At this
moment, the system has been ready for the filling of refrigerant.
After finishing creating vacuum, close the high pressure valve (HI) and the low pressure valve
(LO) of the inlet (exhaust) manifold instrument and wait for 10 minutes. After that, check if the reading
of the instrument changes.
Note:
If the reading of the instrument is closer to “0”, there exists leakage at certain places. Check the joint
of the pipe and rectify if necessary. After that, create vacuum for the system again and make sure that
no leakage occurs in the system.
第 189 页 共 221 页
Section V A/C System Precautions
(1) Only use R-134a refrigerant qualified in content, water content, foreign material and
uncondensable air and other indexes.
(2) Fill the refrigerant strictly following the instruction of the vehicle factory, and overfilling or
insufficient filling will cut the refrigerating effect of the A/C system.
(3) Thoroughly check the seal ring of each pipe joint and each part for leakage before filling
refrigerant.
(4) Before the operation of the compressor, the refrigerant can be simultaneously filled both at
the low pressure and high pressure side; after the operation of the compressor, the refrigerant can
only be slowly filled only at the low pressure side.
(5) Carefully check for leakage with electronic leak detector after filling R-134a refrigerant.
(1) Only use the lubricant with the type and make specified by the compressor manufacturer. Do
not mix with the lubricant with different type and make, or else the compressor will be damaged.
(2) The quantity of the lubricant to be filled should be in strict accordance with the instruction.
Pay attention to that the lubricant will be resistant to heat exchange and overfilling will seriously cut
the effect of the A/C system. Generally, it is not necessary to add lubricant since the lubricant has
already been filled by the compressor manufacturer. While replacing parts, properly add the lubricant
with the same model: condenser---20ml; fluid dryer---30ml; evaporator---30ml; pipe---10ml/m.
(3) Lubricant absorbs water quite easily, so the time to be exposed to air should be shortened as
practicable as possible.
(4) Before filling, check the quality of the lubricant in the system. If seriously blackened or carbon
granule observed, please thoroughly wash the whole A/C system and replace lubricant wholly. Note:
it is prohibited to use water, corrosive solvent or flammable and explosive solvent to wash the A/C
system. It is recommended to use R-141b and methane cleaner.
(5) The lubricant should be filled through the compressor exhaust hole before creating vacuum.
Before installation of A/C, please check and adjust the following components.
At this time, keep the components from lossing or damaging. When installing the A/C, it’s quite
necessary to cover the fender and seat with a shade.
3. Notes for installation. The negative lead must be disconnected from the battery.
Use the bolt provided by the tool-box to install the A/C components on the engine and screw
them down with the specified torque.
In the installation, correctly specify the routines of the A/C pipes and harnesses for not to disturb
the nearby components.
Apply 2-3 drops of refrigerating oil on the horn open pipe connecting nut seat. The hose and the pipe
must be connected.
Two wrenches must be used to fasten or loosen the pipe assembly parts to evenly support them
in such a tight or loose condition.
Before connecting each component, don’t remove the pipe end plug of the accessories.
Note: to make the refrigerant leak slowly, it’s quite necessary to carefully dismantle the plug from
the compressor. The compressor contains a little refrigerant to avoid corrosion of the seal when it’s
shipped out.
The personnel must wear safety glass in processing refrigerant. Pay attention not to contact the
refrigerant with skin.
Put the refrigerant pot in the warm water and keep it at 40℃.

IV. Upper steering shaft assembly (electric power steering EPS) (optional)
1. EPS overview
1.1 Product profile
The EPS electric power steering system consists of the steering column assembly, torque sensor,
servo motor, control module assembly and other relevant components. The working principle of this
system is as follows: when the vehicle speed is less than 80KM/ hour, the system will work. The EPS
control module takes advantage of the driving torque and rotation direction of the steering wheel, as
well as the vehicle speed and other related data to give signal commands to the servo motor, which
will then output the driving torque of the corresponding size and direction to generate steering force.
When the vehicle does not turn, the EPS control module will not give signal commands to the servo
motor, the servo motor will have no load output, and the current will tend to zero. Therefore, when the
vehicle goes straight without steering, it will not consume any engine power. Thus, it is more
energy-saving than traditional hydraulic power system.
The EPS electric power steering system provides power-assisted steering inversely proportional to
the vehicle speed: The higher the speed, the smaller the power. This approach of “on-demand power
supply” can have the driver maintain a balanced steering torque, greatly improve the driving safety
and comfort, and also improve the vehicle static and dynamic performances.
1.2 Function failure
When the EPS electric power steering system of your vehicle is found failed, please don't be anxious,
and it will not affect your normal driving, because it temporarily has no steering power, and is
recovered to the initial state of mechanical steering. If failed, please strictly follow the procedures for
troubleshooting.

4.2 When the automobile engine is normally started, the ignition signal, 12V power supply and engine
speed signal will transmit information to the EPS system. If the EPS system fault diagnosis indicator
constantly lights up, it indicates that the EPS system is working improperly, warning the driver of the
EPS system failure for timely troubleshooting. Otherwise, it will come back to the mechanical steering
system without steering power, but it will not affect the normal running of the vehicle.

establish communications in between; when the immobilizer chip has received the authentication
request, then it will start its encryption process, have the received random number achieve an
encryption result through an encryption algorithm, and then send the encryption result to the
immobilizer ECU system, which will judge whether such results are correct. If not correct, the
whole system authentication will have failed, the authentication will terminate and the car will be

After the engine ECU receives the “ON” signal of the auto ignition switch, it will send a handshake
request to the immobilizer ECU through the K_LINE, and the immobilizer ECU will establish
communications and start the engine ECU authentication after receipt of the handshake signal;
The engine ECU will send a random number to the immobilizer ECU, after receipt of the random

achieve an encryption result through an encryption algorithm, and then send the encryption result
to the engine ECU, which will judge whether such result is correct. If not correct, it shows that the

that the engine ECU authentication process is successful.
After completion of the above two steps, a unique and independent communication code has been
established between the immobilizer chip in the vehicle key and the immobilizer ECU, as well as
between the immobilizer ECU and the engine ECU. When the vehicle needs to be started, the
immobilizer chip in the vehicle key, the immobilizer ECU and the engine ECU will confirm each
other, and if correct, then the vehicle can be started.
In the vehicle combination instrument, there are corresponding indicators (hereinafter referred to
as LED) to display different states of the electronic immobilizer system for warning. When the
ignition switch is turned to the “OFF” state, the system will enter its standby, and the LED will
display at the state of ON (0.2s) and OFF (2.2s). When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON”
state, the system will start its authentication process, and if successful, the LED will continue to be
OFF, but if it fails (key error or no key), the LED will display at the state of ON (0.2s) and OFF
(0.7s).
