103Chapter 5 Front Suspension SystemSection 1 Front Suspension SystemDescription on front suspension structure
This model uses strut swing arm independent suspension with stabilizer bar.
The shock absorber upper end is flexibly connected to the body through the shock absorber mounting seat,
the lower end is rigidly connected to the steering knuckle. The coil spring encloses the shock absorber (coil
spring geometrical axial line does not coincide with that of the shock absorber piston rod), and is supported
between the upper and lower spring seats.
Both ends of the stabilizer bar are connected to the shock absorber through the strut bar ball pin and the
intermediate part is supported on the lower front body by the rubber bushing and support frame.
The front cushion sleeves the shock absorber piston rod head to restrict the wheel jump limit position and
plays the role of buffer.
The thrust ball bearing, installed between the spring upper seat and the shock absorber mount, is used for the
relative rotation upon steering of the shock absorber rigidly connected to the steering knuckle to the shock
absorber mount flexibly connected to the body.
"L" type lower swing arm is secured to the lower engine compartment with the press plate through elastic
rubber bushing and hinge, and its outer end is connected to the steering knuckle through the ball stud pin
which is attached to the lower swing arm by 3 high intension bolts. The ball stud pin can be removed and
replaced when it is worn.
The ball seat material is saturated polyester containing oil, featured in comparatively high intensity and
wearability and good self-lubrication performance. Proper amount of grease has been added during the
assembly and there is no need for additional filling during the normal operation.

157Part III Electrical EquipmentChapter 1 SurveyThis part refers to the electrical repair of the Free Cruiser, and analyzes the faults from every system. Then
some practicable diagnosis procedure and repair ways are given.I. HAND-HELD TESTER1. Before the tester is used, a through reading of the Tester Operation Manual is commended.
2. Connect the tester to the diagnosis interface with a wire. Turn the ignition switch ON. At this time, if the
tester and ECU control system cannot communicate, the vehicle or the tester may have faults.
(1) Connect the tester lead wire to another vehicle. If the communication is normal, inspect the vehicle
diagnosis Busline or power supply circuit.
(2) If it still cannot communicate when connecting to the other vehicles, it may have faults on tester itself.
Consult the self-inspecting procedure described on the Tester Operation ManualII. HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTINGThe basic operation procedure for troubleshooting is as follows.
1. Customer fault analysis
(a) Ask the customer for the conditions and environment when faults happen.
2. Confirm the fault symptoms, and check the DTCs and storage data.
(a) Check the battery positive voltage (Voltage: 10 - 14V when the engine is stopped.)
(b) Inspect the harness, connector and fuse for open and short, etc. by their appearance.
(c) Warm up the engine temperature to the normal operation temperature.
(d) Confirm the fault symptoms and check the DTCs.
(e) Confirm the test procedure for the parts or systems that need checking.
3. Circuit or part inspection
4. Repair
5. Test for checking
(a) After the repair is completed, verify if the fault has been removed.
(If the fault has not appeared yet, a verifying test should be done under the same conditions and environment
when the fault first occurred.)

1594Make a simulation test in a way of symptom simulation
5Inspect DTC
6Confirm symptomV. SYMPTOM SIMULATIONNOTES:
The most difficult conditions to handle in the fault troubleshooting are that the fault symptom dose not appear.
Under the circumstances, make sure first to make a comprehensive analysis to the fault described by the
customer, then to simulate an environment that is similar or the same with the conditions when the fault of the
customer's vehicle occurred. No matter how rich the experience of the technician is and how skillful he is, if
he make a fault troubleshooting analysis without confirm the fault symptom, it is inevitable for him to neglect
some important factors and incorrectly guess, which may cause barriers to repair. For example, if a fault
occurs only when the engine is cool or if a fault occurs only caused by a vibration from pavement and so on,
when the engine is checked in the hot or static state, it is no way to confirm. Because of vibration, high-
temperature or seeping water (Vapor) often causes some faults that are difficult to reappear. So, here are
some effective symptom simulation tests.
KEY POINTS OF SYMPTOM SIMULATION TEST:
In the symptom simulation test, no doubt it is important to confirm the fault symptom, but the fault position or
fault components must be also found out. So, before the test and the pre-inspection of connection, narrow the
range of the circuit where faults may occur according to the fault symptom. Then make a symptom simula-
tion test to see if the circuit measured is normal; the fault symptom is also verified at the same time.
1. Way of Vibration: When vibration may be the major cause of the fault.
For example:
(a) Use your hand to gently vibrate the sensor that is considered the cause of the fault, in order to check if it
is ineffective.
(b) Softly rock the connector and harness in horizontal and vertical direction.
Notes: Hard rock may cause the relay circuit open.
2. Way of Spraying Water: When rainy weather or wet environment may be the major cause of the fault.
(a) Spray water on the vehicle to check if the fault occurs.
NOTES:
yBe sure not to directly spray water into the engine compartment. Spray the water on the face of the
radiator to change the temperature and humidity indirectly.
yBe sure not to spray water onto electronic devices and controllers.

166II. CHARGING SYSTEM INSPECTION1. CHECK BATTERY WORKING VOLTAGE
(a) After having driven the vehicle and in the case that 20 minutes have not passed after having stopped the
engine, turn the ignition switch ON and turn on the electrical system (headlight, blower motor) for 60
seconds to remove the surface charge.
(b) Turn the ignition switch OFF and
turn off the electrical systems. Then
measure the battery voltage
between the negative and positive
terminals of the battery.
Standard voltage: 12.5-12.9V at
20°C
HINT:
If the voltage is less than specification, charge the battery.
2. CHECK BATTERY TERMINALS, FUSE BOX AND FUSE
(a) Check that the battery terminals are not loose or corroded.
(b) Check if fuse box and fuse for continuity.
