DIAGNOSIS
OIL LEAK DIAGNOSIS
Most fluid oil leaks are easily located and repaired by
visually finding the leak and replacing or repairing the
necessary parts. On some occasions a fluid leak may be
difficult to locate or repair. The following procedures may
help you in locating and repairing most leaks.
Finding the Leak
1. Identify the fluid. Determine whether it is engine oil,
automatic transmission fluid, power steering fluid,
etc.
2. Identify where the fluid is leaking from.
2.1 After running the vehicle at normal operating
temperature, park the vehicle over a large sheet
of paper.
2.2 Wait a few minutes.
2.3 You should be able to find the approximate loca-
tion of the leak by the drippings on the paper.
3. Visually check around the suspected component.
Check around all the gasket mating surfaces for
leaks. A mirror is useful for finding leaks in areas that
are hard to reach.
4. If the leak still cannot be found, it may be necessary
to clean the suspected area with a degreaser, steam
or spray solvent.
4.1 Clean the area well.
4.2 Dry the area.
4.3 Operate the vehicle for several miles at normal
operating temperature and varying speeds.
4.4 After operating the vehicle, visually check the
suspected component.
4.5 If you still cannot locate the leak, try using the
powder or black light and dye method.
Powder Method
1. Clean the suspected area.
2. Apply an aerosol-- type powder (such as foot powder)
to the suspected area.
3. Operate the vehicle under normal operating condi-
tions.
4. Visually inspect the suspected component. You
should be able to trace the leak path over the white
powder surface to the source.
Black Light and Dye Method
A dye and light kit is available for finding leaks, Refer to
the manufacturer ’s directions when using the kit.
1. Pour the specified amount of dye into the engine oil fill
tube.
2. Operate the vehicle normal operating conditions as
directed in the kit.
3. Direct the light toward the suspected area. The dyed
fluid willappear as a yellow path leading to the
source.
Repairing the Leak
Once the origin of the leak has been pinpointed and
traced back to its source, the cause of the leak must be
determined n order for it to be repaired properly. If a gas-
ket is replaced, but the sealing flange is bent, the new
gasket will not repair the leak. Thebent flange must be
repaired also. Before attempting to repair a leak, check
for the following conditions and correct them as they
may cause a leak.
Gaskets
DThe fluid level/pressure is too high.
DThe crankcase ventilation system is malfunctioning.
DThe fasteners are tightened improperly or the threads
are dirty or damaged.
DThe flanges or the sealing surface is warped.
DThere are scratches, burrs or other damage to the
sealing surface.
DThe gasket is damaged or worn.
DThere is cracking or porosity of the component.
DAn improper seal was used (where applicable).
Seals
DThe fluid level/pressure is too high.
DThe crankcase ventilation system is malfunctioning.
DThe seal bore is damaged (scratched, burred or
nicked).
DThe seal is damaged or worn.
DImproper installation is evident.
DThere are cracks in the components.
DThe shaft surface is scratched, nicked or damaged.
DA loose or worn bearing is causing excess seal wear.

HYDRAULIC BRAKES 4A-3
SSANGYONG MY2002
DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION AND PROCEDURES
BRAKE SYSTEM TESTING
Brakes should be tested on a dry, clean, reasonably
smooth and level roadway. A true test of brake perfor-
mance cannot be made if the roadway is wet, greasy,
or covered with loose dirt which can cause tires not to
grip the road unequally. Testing also will be inaccurate
on a crowned roadway because the wheels tend to
bounce.
Test the brakes at different vehicle speeds with both
light-and heavy-pedal pressure; however, avoid locking
the brakes and sliding the tires. Locked brakes and
slid-ing tires do not indicate brake efficiency since
heavily braked but turning wheels will stop the vehicle
in less distance than locked brakes. More tire-to-road
friction is present with a heavily braked, turning tire
than with a sliding tire.
Because of the high deceleration capability, a firmer
pedal may be felt at higher deceleration levels.
There are three major external conditions that affect
brake performance:
•Tires having unequal contact and grip of the road
will cause unequal braking. Tires must be equally
inflated, and the tread pattern of the right and the
left tires must be approximately equal.
Unequal loading of the vehicle can affect the brake
performance since the most heavily loaded wheels
require more braking power, and thus more braking
effort, than the others.
Misalignment of the wheels, particularly conditions
of excessive camber and caster, will cause the
brakes to pull to one side.
To check for brake fluid leaks, hold constant foot pres-
sure on the pedal with the engine running at idle and
the shift lever in NEUTRAL. If the pedal gradually falls
away with the constant pressure, the hydraulic system
may be leaking. Perform a visual check to confirm any
suspected leaks.
Check the master cylinder fluid level. While a slight
drop in the reservoir level results from normal lining
wear, an abnormally low level indicates a leak in the
system. The hydraulic system may be leaking either
internally or externally. Refer to the procedure below
to check the master cylinder. The system may appear
to pass this test while still having a slight leak. If the
fluid level is normal, check the vacuum booster pushrod
length. If an incorrect pushrod length is found, adjust
or replace the rod.Check the master cylinder using the following proce
dure:
Check for a cracked master cylinder casting or a
brake fluid leak around the master cylinder. Leaks
are indicated only if there is at least one drop of
fluid. A damp condition is not abnormal.
Check for a binding pedal linkage and for an
incorrect pushrod length. If both of these parts are
in satisfactory condition, disassemble the master
cylinder and check for an elongated or swollen
primary cylinder or piston seals. If swollen seals
are found, substandard or contaminated brake fluid
should be suspected. If contaminated brake fluid
is found, all the components should be
disassembled and cleaned, and all the rubber
components should be replaced. All of the pipes
must also be flushed.
Improper brake fluid, or mineral oil or water in the fluid,
may cause the brake fluid to boil or cause deterioration
of the rubber components. If the primary piston cups in
the master cylinder are swollen, the rubber parts have
deteriorated.
If deterioration of the rubber is evident, disassemble
all the hydraulic parts and wash the parts with alcohol.
Dry these parts with compressed air before reassembly
to keep the alcohol out of the system. Replace all the
rubber parts in the system, including the hoses. When
working on the brake mechanisms, check for fluid on
the linings. If excessive fluid is found, replace the
linings.
If the master cylinder piston seals are in satisfactory
condition, check for leaks or excessive heat conditions.
If these conditions are not found, drain the fluid, flush
the master cylinder with brake fluid, refill the master
cylinder, and bleed the system.
BRAKE HOSE INSPECTION
The hydraulic brake hoses should be inspected at least
twice a year. The brake hose assembly should be
checked for road hazard damage, cracks, chafing of
the outer cover, and for leaks or blisters. Inspect the
hoses for proper routing and mounting. A brake hose
that rubs on a suspension component will wear and
eventually fail. A light and a mirror may be needed for
an adequate inspection. If any of the above conditions
are observed on the brake hose, adjust or replace the
hose as necessary.

ABS AND TCS 4F-5
SSANGYONG MY2002
EBD (ELECTRONIC BRAKE
FORCE DISTRIBUTION) SYSTEM
System Description
As an add-on logic to the ABS base algorithm, EBD
works in a range in which the intervention thresholds
for ABS control are not reached yet.
EBD ensures that the rear wheels are sensitively
monitored for slip with respect to the front axle. If slip
is detected, the inlet valves for the rear wheels are
switched to pressure hold to prevent a further increase
in pressure at the rear-wheel breaks, thus electronically
reproducing a pressure-reduction function at the rear-
wheel brakes.
ABS features an enhanced algorithm which includes
control of the brake force distribution between the front
and rear axles. This is called Electronic Brake
Distribution. In an unloading car condition the brake
efficiency is comparable to the conventional system
but for a fully loaden vehicle the efficiency of the EBD
system is higher due to the better use of rear axle
braking capability.
The Benefits of EBD
Elimination of conventional proportioning valve EBD
utilizes the existing rear axle wheel speed sensor
to monitor rear wheel slip.
Based on many variables in algorithm a pressure
hold, increase and/or decrease pulsetrain may be
triggered at the rear wheels insuring vehicle
stability.
Vehicle approaches the ideal brake force
distribution (front to rear).
Constant brake force distribution during vehicle
lifetime.
EBD function is monitored via ABS safety logic
(conventional proportioning valves are not
monitorable).
“Keep alive” function.Service Precautions
Observe the following general precautions during any
ABS/TCS service. Failure to adhere to these
precautions may result in ABS/TCS system damage.
1. Disconnect the EBCM harness connector before
performing the electric welding procedures.
2. Carefully note the routing of the ABS/TCS wiring
and wring components during removal. The ABS/
TCS components are extremely sensitive to EMI
(eletromagnetic interference). Proper mounting is
critical during component service.
3. Disconnect the EBCM connector with the ignition
OFF.
4. Do not hang the suspension components from the
wheel speed sensor cables. The cables may be
damaged.
5. Do not use petroleum based fluids in the master
cylinder. Do not use any containers previously used
for petroleum based fluids. Petroleum causes
swelling and distortion of the rubber components
in the hydraulic brake system, resulting in water
entering the system and lowering the fluid boiling
point.

Solenoid Valve Symbols
(ON/OFF Solenoids)
The solenoid symbol shown adjacent to each solenoid
on the hydraulic system schematics indicates the state
of the oil flow through the solenoid valve with the power
ON or OFF.
Normally Open (NO) Solenoid
POWER ON: Line 500 port is closed. The output port
is open to exhaust at the solenoid valve.
POWER OFF: The exhaust port is closed. The output
port is open to line 500.
Variable Pressure Solenoid Multiplexing System
Friction element shifting pressures are controlled by
the Variable Pressure Solenoid (VPS).
Line pressure is completely independent of shift pres-
sure and is a function of throttle position, gear state
and engine speed.
S5 is a proportional or variable pressure solenoid that
provides the signal pressure to the clutch and band
regulator valves thereby controlling shift pressures.
VPS pressure is multiplexed to the clutch regulator
valve, the band regulator valve and the converter clutch
regulator valve during automatic gearshifts.
A variable pressure solenoid produces a hydraulic
pressure inversely proportional to the current applied.
During a gearshift the TCM applies a progressively
increasing or decreasing (ramped) current to the
solenoid. Current applied will vary between a minimum
oaf 200 mA and a maximum of 1000 mA. Increasing
current decreases output (S5) pressure. Decreasing
current increases output (S5) pressure.
Line 500 pressure, (approximately 440 to 560 kPa), is
the reference pressure for the VPS, and the VPS output
pressure is always below line 500 pressure.
When the VPS is at standby, that is no gearshift is
taking place, the VPS current is set to 200 mA giving
maximum output pressure.
Under steady state conditions the band and clutch
regulator valve solenoids are switched OFF.This applies full Line 500 pressure to the plunger and
because Line 500 pressure is always greater than S5
pressure it squeezes the S5 oil out between the
regulator valve and the plunger. The friction elements
are then fed oil pressure equal to Line 500 multiplied
by the amplification ratio.
When a shift is initiated the required ON/OFF solenoid
is switched ON cutting the supply of Line 500 to the
plunger.
At the same time the VPS pressure is reduced to the
ramp start value and assumes control of the regulator
valve by pushing the plunger away from the valve.
The VPS then carries out the required pressure ramp
and the timed shift is completed by switching OFF the
ON/ OFF solenoid and returning the VPS to the standby
pressure.
This system enables either the band or clutch or both
to be electrically controlled for each gearshift.
Mode Indicator Light
Depending on the application, the mode indicator light
may be used to indicate the mode that has been se-
lected or if an overheat condition exists. The mode
indicator light is usually located on the instrument
cluster.
Communication Systems
CAN
The Controller Area Network (CAN) connects various
control modules by using a twisted pair of wires, to
share common information. This results in a reduction
of sensors and wiring. TCM obtains the actual engine
speed and throttle position, vehicle speed and
accelerator position etc. from ECM via CAN without
any additional sensors.
K-Line
The K-line is typically used for obtaining diagnostic
information from the TCM. A scan tool with a special
interface is connected to the TCM via Data Link
Connector (DLC) and all current faults, stored faults,
runtime parameters are then available. The stored
trouble codes can also be cleared by scan tool.
The K-line can be used for vehicle coding at the
manufacturer’s plant or in the workshop. This allows
for one TCM design to be used over different vehicle
mod-els.
The particular code is sent to the microprocessor via
the K-line and this results in the software selecting the
correct shift and VPS ramp parameters.
Data Link Connector (DLC)
The Data Link Connector (DLC) is a multiple cavity
connector. The DLC provides the means to access the
serial data from the TCM.
The DLC allows the technician to use a scan tool to
monitor the various systems and display the Diagnostic
Trouble Codes (DTCs).

Manual Valve
The manual valve is connected to the vehicle selector
mechanism and controls the flow of oil to the forward
and reverse circuits. The manual valve function is
identical in all forward gear positions except that in
the Manual 1 position an additional supply of oil is
directed to the 1-2 shift valve for application of the
rear band and the C4 overrun clutch. The manual valve
directs the line pressure into the PRND fluid circuits.
Valve Body
1-2 Shift Valve
The 1-2 shift valve is a two position valve that must be
switched to the 2, 3 and 4 position in order to get any
forward gear other than first gear. It is used for all 1-2
and 2-1 gearshifts.
The switching of this valve is achieved by using S1
and/ or S2.
During a 1-2 gearshift drive oil from the manual valve
passes through to the second gear circuit. During a 2-
1 gearshift the band apply feed oil is allowed to exhaust
via the 1-2 shift valve.
The 1-2 shift valve works in conjunction with the 3-4
shift valve to disengage the C4 clutch in first gear,
and engage C4 in second gear. When Manual 1 is
selected the C4 clutch and rear band (B2) are engaged.2-3 Shift Valve
The 2-3 shift valve is a two position valve. It is used
on all 2-3 and 3-2 gearshifts.
The switching of this valve is achieved by S2 which is
located at the end of the valve spool.
In the 1, 2 position, second gear oil from the 1-2 shift
valve is prevented from entering the third gear circuit.
When the valve is moved to the 3, 4 position, oil from
the second gear circuit is routed to the third gear circuit
and the transmission is changed to third gear.
3-4 Shift Valve
The 3-4 shift valve is a two position valve. It is used
for all 3-4 and 4-3 gearshifts.
The switching of this valve is achieved by S1 which is
located at the end of the valve spool.
During a 3-4 gearshift the 3-4 shift valve:
Exhausts the front band release (B1R) circuit
thereby allowing the application of the front band
(B1).
Connects the inner apply area of the front servo
(B1AI) to the Band Apply Feed (BAF) circuit thus
allowing greater apply forces to the front band.
Exhausts the Overrun Clutch (OC) circuit which al-
lows the C4 clutch to disengage.

SSANGYONG MY2002
During a 4-3 gearshift, the C4 clutch is engaged and
the front band (B1) is released. These actions are se-
quenced by the 4-3 sequence valve.
The 3-4 shift valve also switches during 1-2 and 2-1
gearshifts where its function is to apply the overrun
clutch (C4) in second gear but to release it in first
gear.
Note that the C4 clutch is applied in Manual 1 by virtue
of the manual valve and the 1-2 shift valve. Refer to
“1-2 Shift Valve” in this section.
4-3 Sequence Valve
The 4-3 sequence valve is a two position spring loaded
valve. It switches during 3-4 and 4-3 gearshifts although
it performs no function during the 3-4 shift.
During the 4-3 shift the 4-3 sequence valve delays the
connection of the Clutch Apply Feed (CAF) circuit to
the B1R circuit until the B1R circuit has been fully
pressurized by using the third gear circuit. This
prevents objectionable engine flare on completion of
the 4-3 gearshift.
Solenoid Supply Pressure Regulator Valve
The solenoid supply pressure regulator valve supplies
a constant pressure to all solenoids (S1 to S7). Line
pres-sure is used as the feeding oil to this regulator
and the output is termed line 500.
Line Pressure Control Valve
Line pressure is controlled by S6, which acts as theline pressure control valve. When S6 pressure is applied
to the end of the Primary Regulator Valve (PRV), it is
opposed by spring force and causes LOW line
pressure for light throttle application and cruising.
Heavy throttle application causes the normally open
S6 to open (switch Off) thus closing line 500 and
opening S6 to exhaust. Removal of S6 pressure from
the PRV results in HIGH line pressure.
Clutch Apply Feed Regulator Valve
The clutch apply feed regulator valve is a fixed ratio
(2.25:1) valve. This valve provides a regulated pressure
to the C1 clutch and controls the change rate of the
clutch state to give the desired shift quality.
Third gear oil supplied to the valve is regulated to pro-
vide an output pressure, Clutch Apply Feed (CAF) pres-
sure, of 2.25 times the S5 signal pressure when S3 is
ON. When S3 is OFF, the output pressure is 2.25 times
the line 500 pressure.
Band Apply Feed Regulator Valve
The band apply feed regulator valve is a fixed ratio
(1.4:1) valve. It provides a regulated pressure to the
front servo, and controls the change rate of the front
band (B1) state to give the desired shift quality.
Second gear oil supplied to the valve is regulated to
provide an output pressure, Band Apply Feed (BAF)
pressure, of 1.4 times the S5 signal pressure when S4
is ON. When S4 is OFF the output pressure is 1.4 times
the line 500 pressure.

Reverse Lockout Valve
The reverse lockout valve is a two position valve con-
tained in the upper valve body. This valve uses S1-S2
pressure as a signal pressure and controls the applica-
tion of the rear band (B2).
While the manual valve is in D, 3, 2 or 1 positions,
drive oil is applied to the spring end of the valve,
overriding any signal pressures and holding the valve
in the lockout position. This prevents the application
of B2 in any of the forward driving gears except M1.S1- S2 pressure is exhausted and the valve is held in
the lockout position by the spring. In this position,
engagement of B2 is prohibited.
This feature protects the transmission from abuse by
preventing the undesirable application of B2 at high
speed, and by providing a reverse lockout function.
Note that if the transmission is in failure mode, the
rear band will be applied at all times in P, R and N.
Pump Cover
When the manual valve is in P, R or N positions, drive
oil is exhausted and the reverse lockout valve may be
toggled by S1-S2 pressure.
B2 is applied in P, R, and N if the following conditions
are satisfied;
In P or N, vehicle speed = 3 km/h.
In R, vehicle speed = 10 km/h.
Engine speed = 1600 rpm.
Throttle position = 12 %.
Under these conditions, the TCM switches solenoids
S1 and S2 to OFF. The reverse lockout valve toggles
under the influence of the S1-S2 pressure, to connect
the line pressure to the B2 feed. Oil is fed to both the
inner and outer apply areas of the rear servo piston,
applying B2.
If any of the above conditions are not satisfied, the
TCM switches solenoids S1 and S2 to ON.Primary Regulator Valve
The Primary Regulator Valve (PRV) regulates the trans-
mission line pressure (or pump output pressure). This
valve gives either high or low line pressure depending
on whether S6 is switched OFF or ON. When S6 is
switched ON, S6 pressure is applied to the PRV moving
it against spring pressure and opening the line
pressure circuit to the pump suction port resulting in
reduced line pressure.
Low line pressure is used during light throttle applica-
tions and cruising. Heavy throttle will cause S6 to switch
OFF and thereby cause high line pressure.
This stepped line pressure control has no detrimental
effect on shift feel because all shifting pressures are
controlled by separate band and clutch regulator
valves, and the output of S5.
When reverse gear is selected, both the low and high
line pressure values are boosted to guard against slip-
page. This is achieved by applying reverse oil line
pressure to the PRV to assist the spring load. The
other end of the valve contains ports for line pressure
feedback and S6 pressure.
The PRV also regulates the supply of oil to the
converter via the converter feed port. The cascade
effect of the PRV ensures the first priority of the valve
is to maintain line pressure at very low engine speeds.
When the engine speed increases and the pump
supplies an excess of oil the PRV moves to uncover
the converter feed port thereby pressurizing the
converter. If there is an excess of oil for the
transmission’s needs then the PRV moves further to
allow oil to return to the suction port.
