impact absorption system, it is able to maintain the cab's integrity and safety to greater extent. We wrote this
maintenance manual in order to meet the demand of Great Wall after-sales service technicians. This manual
mainly introduces the areas of importance in regard to maintenance and care, and removal and installation of
each system's assembly and maintenance technical parameters.
To reduce the possibility of injury or property damage, read and follow t\
he instructions carefully:
This manual is provided by the Great Wall Motor Co., Ltd, and is written for the technician use. Any
maintenance or repair without proper prior training and tools or devices may result in personal injury of the
person performing the maintenance or others in the vicinity. It is also possible that damage to the vehicle will
occur or will lead to mechanical failure during normal operation.
Correct vehicle maintenance and repair is essential for the safety of the person performing regular
maintenance as well as the vehicle itself. If there is any component that needs to be replaced, use a
component with the same serial number or a serial number specified by the Great Wall Motor Co., Ltd. Never
use any part that has not been authorized by the Great Wall Motor Co., Ltd.
Any maintenance procedure introduced in this manual is effective for maintenance and repair. Some of
these procedures need specially designed tools.
Therefore, before using any vehicle part following any maintenance procedure or working with a tool
that has not been authorized by the Great Wall Motor Co., Ltd, check to make sure that none of the above

7. Pay attention to the "Areas of Importance" below to
avoid damaging any part:
(a) Do not open the cover or case of the ECU (Electronic
Control Unit) unless it's absolutely necessary. (Touching
the pin of the IC (Integrated Circuit) may damage the
IC due to static electricity.)
(b) When unplugging the vacuum hose, make sure to pull
from the end of the hose but not the center.
IncorrectCorrect
(c) To make hose reassembly more convenient, label the
unplugged portions for easier recognition later. After
performing this task, check carefully to make sure the
hose is connected correctly.
(d) Be careful! Do not drop any electrical components (like
sensors or relay connectors). Replace them at once
if they have been dropped onto a hard surface. They
cannot be used for the second time.
(e) When cleaning the engine with a steam, make sure to
properly protect the ignition coil and air filter as to
prevent water from seeping in.
(f) D o n o t f o r c e f u l l y t r y t o c o n n e c t a h o s e i n t o a n
oversized tube while using a vacuum gauge. Instead,
use a stepped connector. If the hose is stretched, it may
lead to leaking.
8. All resistors must be measured at below 20oC room
temperature unless special situations arise. This is
because resistance value measured under higher
temperature may exceed standard requirements, espe-
cially if measured after driving the vehicle. All measures
should be taken after the engine has cooled down.
Circuit Maintenance Instructions
1. Rules to be obeyed before a circuit is repaired:
(a) Make sure to disconnect the negative (-) cable from the
battery before electrical maintenance is performed.
(b) W h e n i n s p e c t i o n a n d m a i n t e n a n c e w o r k r e q u i r e s
disconnecting the battery, make absolutely sure to
disconnect the negative (-) cable of the battery and that
it is connected to the vehicle body as grounding.
(c) To prevent damaging the wiring terminal of the battery,
loosen the cable's fixing nut and lift up the cable, but
do not forcefully twist or press the cable.
(d) When cleaning up the battery's and the cable's connecting
terminals, make sure to use a special rag, and do not use a
file or other rough material to wipe them.
(e) While connecting the connecting terminals of the cable
and battery, loosen the nuts first, then tighten them
after installation. Do not hammer the cable's connecting
terminals into the battery with a hammer.
(f) I f t h e b a t t e r y ' s g r o u n d c a b l e h a s n o t y e t b e e n
disconnected, please do not try to speed charge the
battery, as this could damage the alternator's diode.
(g) Should the battery's ground cable be disconnected,
please do not try to start the engine, as this could
seriously damage the wire.
(h) Make sure to properly cover the battery's positive (+)
end cover.

Wheel and Tire
Tire
Remark
This vehicle's tire is of the tubeless type. The optimal design condition is met when the inflation pressure is at
the recommended value, and the tire is under full load. Maintaining suitable tire pressure and proper driving
habits greatly influence the tire's use life. For the vehicle, it improves riding comfort, stability, and handling. For
the tire, it reduces tread wear, damage to the tire and extends tire life. Overloading, speeding, and unnecessary
emergency braking will all add to the tire's wear and tear.
Tire pressure measurements should be taken under normal temperature. If the tire pressure rises due to motion
generated heat when driving, cooling it will return to the normal temperature. Therefore, do not deflate the tire
when the air pressure has risen to this point. The tire's air pressure will naturally and slowly decrease when used
under normal conditions. Hence please inspect the air pressure regularly (suggested once a month). The spare
tire should be kept in a useable condition at all times.
Inspect the tire pressure when it is cool monthly or before a long drive. Adjust the tire pressure to the recom-
mended level. The air pressure will normally rise because the tire warms up due to movement. Therefore, after
driving, you absolutely must not deflate or reduce the tire's air pressure, as deflating could reduce the cool tire's
air pressure.
Tire inflation
During a new tire's initial stage of use, warning due to bending motions will cause the tire to swell, and thus
reduce the corresponding air pressure. After 24 hours or 2000-3000 km worth of drive, charge the air pressure.
After inflating, check if the air nozzle core is leaking air with soapy \
water, then lock on the cap.

4. Deviation while accelerating
Tire and wheel (steel wheel) installation instructions
When installing the tire and wheel, the tire's radial hardware components, also called "high spot", should be at
the same level of the wheel's minimum radius or so called "low spot".
The "high spot" of the tire is initially marked by the paint spot on the side of the tire's surface. This paint will
eventually be washed away.
The "low spot" of the wheel is initially marked by a paint spot on the wheel flange. Whenever the tire is
removed from the wheel, the tire and wheel need re-balancing to make sure the vehicle runs smoothly. If no
paint spot is found on the tire, draw a line on the tire and the wheel before they are removed, in order to make
sure that the tire and the wheel will be re-assembled at the same place.\

Tire replacement
When a tire needs to be replaced, make sure to use a tire with the same specification as the original one. A new
tire used for replacement must be of the same dimension, load area, and structure as the original one. Using tires
that are different in dimension or type will influence the vehicle's riding comfort, handling, speedometer and
odometer calibration, vehicle ground clearance, and the clearance between the tire or the tire's snow chain and
the vehicle body or chassis.
It is suggested to use a new pair of tires on the same axle. If only one tire is needed to be replaced, make sure to
use a tire with a tread most similar to the original, so as to keep brak\
e power and traction balanced.
Warning: Do not mix radial tires, bias tires, bias belted tires, etc., which are of different structure on the
same vehicle unless it is an emergency. Mixing different tires would seriously influence the vehicle's
handling and stability, and even possibly lead to losing control of the vehicle.

Deviation judging methods
"Deviation" means that, when no one is in control of the steering, the vehicle does not move in a straight line
while driving on a straight and leveled surface.
Deviation causes:
• Incorrect tire and front wheel alignment,
• Braking force is not even,
• Tire structure problems.
Tire production and manufacturing methods can also lead to vehicle deviation. For example, the arrangement of
the tires inner steel wire belt. A steel wire belt which is inside the radial tire deviating from the tires centerline
can create lateral force when the tires are rolling in a straight line. If one of the tire's diameter is larger than the
other, the tire will tend to roll to that side, this also creates lateral force (a tapering effect) leading to vehicle
deviation. When the front wheel alignment is found to be correct and in proper order, the above process is also
applicable in judging tire deviation. Rear tires cannot cause deviation.\

After solving, if working,
switch the tires again
Return the tires to their
initial positions and inspect
the front wheel alignment
After solving,
switch the tires again
Tire rotation
For equal wear or tear for the tires, please rotate the tire
positions timely. Swapping principle shown on the left.
Radial tires should be regularly switched, and add pressure
according to the regulations.
Caution:
Due to structural reasons, radial tires usually quickly
receive most of its wear on the shoulders, especially
the front tires. Do a tire rotation per 8000-12000 km,
and the tire life can increase by 20%. This makes
regular tire rotation especially useful.

Anti-lock Brake System
ABS/EBD introduction
1. Operation
The vehicle's Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) is a type of increasingly popular brake safety device. It detects the
wheel's speed using wheel speed sensor detection. After signal processing, the wheel speed will be transferred
to the computer, which controls the solenoid valve’s operating condition and the pressure inside the brake wheel
cylinder to avoid wheel locking by using certain calculations and control methods based on the wheel speed.
ABS helps the vehicle to avoid sliding, deviation, fishtailing, and losing steering control capacity. ABS improves
the vehicle’s handling capability, stability and shortens braking distance. It also helps the vehicle to avoid the
partial wear and tear of wheels, hence improves the tire's useful life.
Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) is used to adjust the vehicle's rear wheel brake pressure by using the ABS
components when the ABS does not respond to vehicle braking. It is also used to balance the vehicle’s front and
rear wheel brake pressure, maximizing the vehicle's braking efficiency. EBD uses the ABS components, yet its
controlling logic is independent from the ABS. After the ABS responds, the EBD will disengage.
2. Basic structure
3. ABS working process
(a) Pressure rising phase: While service braking, oil pressure output from the pump passes the inlet solenoid
valve and enters the brake wheel cylinder. The brake generates braking force and the wheel speed sharply
declines until the ABS control unit detects that the wheel is starting to lock via the wheel speed sensor
detection.
(b) Pressure maintaining phase: When the ABS control unit detects that the wheel is starting to lock via wheel
speed sensor signal, the inlet solenoid valve closes, with the outlet solenoid valve shut as usual. The
pressure maintaining phase thus begins.
(c) Pressure drop phrase: During the pressure maintaining phase, the wheels tend to lock further. This brings
the ABS into the pressure drop phrase. With the inlet valve closed and the outlet valve open, the hydraulic
pump starts working, and brake fluid returns to the brake pump from the wheel cylinder by passing through
the low pressure accumulator. The brake pressure reduces and the brake pedal bounces back.
(d) Pressure maintaining phase: With the degree of wheel locking decreases and wheel speed begins to
increase, the pressure maintaining phrase begins.
(e) Next cycle’s pressure rising phase: When the wheels reach a certain speed, the ABS enters the pressure rise
phase and starts the next cycle.
Note: The ABS's pressure adjusting frequency is generally 2 to 4 cycles per second.
