checking oil KIA CARNIVAL 2007 Workshop Manual

2.Shake the ball joint stud several times to check for looseness.
Tie rod end ball joint starting torque :
30 kg·cm or less
3.If the starting torque exceeds the upper limit of the standard value, replace the tie rod end.
4. Even if the starting torque is below the lower limit of the standard value, check the play of the ball joint and replace
if necessary.
CHECKING STEERING WHEEL RETURN
1.The force required to turn the steering wheel and the wheel return should be the same for both moderate and sharp
turns.
2. When the steering wheel is turned 90° and held for a couple of seconds while the vehicle is being driven at 20- 30
kph (12- 19 mph), the steering wheel should return at least 20° from its central position when it is released.
If the steering wheel is turned very quickly, steering may be momentarily difficult. This is not a malfunction
because the oil pump output will be somewhat decreased.

CHECKING POWER STEERING BELT TENSION
Refer to EM group(Timing system).
CHECKING POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL
1.Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Start the engine. With the vehicle kept stationary, turn the steering wheel several times continuously to raise the
fluid temperature to 50- 60°C (122 - 140°F).
3. With the engine at idle, turn the steering wheel fully clockwise and counter- clockwise several times.
4. Make sure that there is no foaming or cloudiness in the reservoir fluid.
5. Stop the engine and check for any difference in fluid level between a stationary and a running engine.
a.If the fluid level varies 5 mm (0.2 in) or more, bleed the system again.
b. If the fluid level suddenly rises after stopping the engine, further bleeding is required.
c. Incomplete bleeding will produce a chattering sound in the pump and noise in the flow control valve, and
lead to decreased durability of the pump.
REPLACING POWER STEERING FLUID
1.Jack up the front wheels and support them with jackstands.
2. Disconnect the return hose from the oil reservoir and plug the oil reservoir.
3. Connect a vinyl hose to the disconnected return hose, and drain the oil into a container.
4. Remove the fuel pump fuse, then start the engine and wait for the engine to stall. Next, while operating the starting
motor intermittently, turn the steering wheel all the way to the left and then to the right several times to drain the
fluid.
5. Connect the return hoses, then fill the oil reservoir with the specified fluid.
6. Reinstall the fuel pump fuse.
7. Start the engine. Check for oil leakage.
8. Stop the engine.
9. Bleed the system.
Power steering fluid type : PSF - 3
Total quantity : Approx 1.1 liter
AIR BLEEDING
1.Remove the fuel pump fuse, then start the engine and wait for the engine to stall. Next, while operating the starting
motor intermittently (for 15 ~ 20 seconds), turn the steering wheel all the way to the left and then to the right five or
six times.

INSPECTION
Oil Specification
1. The HFC- 134a system requires synthetic (PAG) compressor oil whereas the R- 12 system requires mineral
compressor oil. The two oils must never be mixed.
2. Compressor (PAG) oil varies according to compressor model. Be sure to use oil specified for the model of
compressor.
Handling of Oil
1.The oil should be free from moisture, dust, metal powder, etc.
2. Do not mix with other oil.
3. The water content in the oil increases when exposed to the air. After use, seal oil from air immediately. (HFC - 134a
Compressor Oil absorbs moisture very easily.)
4. The compressor oil must be stored in steel containers, not in plastic containers.
Compressor oil check
The oil used to lubricate the compressor is circulating with the refrigerant.
Whenever replacing any component of the system or a large amount of gas leakage occurs, add oil to maintain the
original amount of oil.
Oil total volume in system:
120±10cc (4.05±0.34 fl.oz)
Oil Return Operation
There is close affinity between the oil and the refrigerant.
During normal operation, part of the oil recirculates with the refrigerant in the system. When checking the amount of
oil in the system, or replacing any component of the system, the compressor must be run in advance for oil return
operation. The procedure is as follows:
1. Open all the doors and the engine hood.
2. Start the engine and air conditioning switch to "ON" and set the blower motor control knob at its highest position.
3. Run the compressor for more than 20 minutes between 800 and 1,000 rpm in order to operate the system.
4. Stop the engine.
Replacement of Component Parts
When replacing the system component parts, supply the following amount of oil to the component parts to be installed.
Component parts to be installed Amount of Oil
Evaporator 50 cc (1.70 fl.oz)
Condenser 30 cc (1.02 fl.oz)
Receiver/dryer 30 cc (1.02 fl.oz)
Refrigerant line (One piece) 10 cc (0.34 fl.oz)
For compressor replacement, subtract the volume of oil drained from the removed compressor from the specified
volume, and drain the calculated volume of oil from the new compressor:
The specified volume - volume of removed compressor = volume to drain from the new compressor.
Even if no oil is drained from the removed compressor, don’t drain more than 50cc from new compressor.

DESCRIPTION
This specification applies to HCU(Hydraulic Control Unit) and ECU(Electronic Control Unit) of the HECU.(Hydraulic and
Electronic Control Unit)
This specification is for the wiring design and installation of ABS/TCS/ESC ECU.
This unit has the functions as follows.
a. Input of signal from Pressure sensor, Steering angle sensor, Yaw & Lateral G sensor, the wheel speed sensors
attached to each wheel.
b. Control of braking force / traction force/ yaw moment.
c. Failsafe function.
d. Self diagnosis function.
e. Interface with the external diagnosis tester.
Installation position : engine compartment a. Brake tube length from Master cylinder port to HECU inlet port should be max. 1m
b. The position should not be close to the engine block and not lower than the wheel.
OPERATION
The ECU shall be put into operation by switching on the operating voltage (IGN).
On completion of the initialization phase, the ECU shall be ready for operation.
In the operating condition, the ECU shall be ready, within the specified limits (voltage and temperature), to process the
signals offered by the various sensors and switches in accordance with the control algorithm defined by the software
and to control the hydraulic and electrical actuators.
Wheel Sensor signal processing
The ECU shall receive wheel speed signal from the four active wheel sensors.
The wheel signals are converted to voltage signal by the signal conditioning circuit after receiving current signal from
active wheel sensors and given as input to the MCU.
Solenoid Valve Control
When one side of the valve coil is connected to the positive voltage that is provided through the valve relay and the
other side is connected to the ground by the semiconductor circuit, the solenoid valve goes into operation.
The electrical function of the coils are always monitored by the valve test pulse under normal operation conditions.
Voltage limits
a.Overvoltage
When overvoltage is detected(above 16.8 V), the ECU switches off the valve relay and shuts down the system.
When voltage is returned to operating range, the system goes back to the normal condition after the initialization
phase.
b. Undervoltage
In the event of undervoltage(below 9.3 V), ABS control shall be inhibited and the warning lamp shall be turned on.
When voltage is returned to operating range, the warning lamp is switched off and ECU returns to normal operating
mode.
Pump Motor Checking
The ECU performs a pump motor test at a speed of 15km/h once after IGN is switched on.
Diagnostic Interface
Failures detected by the ECU are encoded on the ECU, stored in a EEPROM and read out by diagnostic equipment
when the ignition switch is turned on.
The diagnosis interface can also be used for testing the ECU during production of the ECU and for actuating the HCU
(Air - bleeding line or Roll and Brake Test line).
