Fuse for vehicle with EPS
The vehicle with EPS has EPS fuse (80A)
mounted to the positive (+) terminal of the
battery not in the fuse box.
EPS unit
The ECU controls the electric power
steering system depending on the driving
conditions, based on the signals from the
torque and angle sensor.
HECU (Hydraulic & Electronic Control Unit)
HECU for ABS HECU for EPS
The HECU (Hydraulic & Electronic Control Unit) determines the slip conditions of vehicle wheels by
calculating each wheel's speed and the increment/decrement of speed based on the information
detected by the sensors, and controls the pumping and boosting/reducing/keeping pressure by
operating the valve and motor of HECU.

Steering wheel angle sensor (SWAS)
The steering wheel angle sensor is mounted between
the steering column and the steering column shaft. It is
commonly used by the ESP (Electronic Stability
Program) system. And it receives signals of the steering
wheel angle sensor from the ESP HECU (Hydraulic &
Electronic Control Unit).

G-sensor(4WD, ABS)
For the vehicle with the ABS, a speed difference
between the wheels is not noticeable as all the
wheels are slipping during abrupt braking.
Therefore, the vehicle needs the speed information
from other sensors other than the wheel speed
sensor. The longitudinal acceleration sensor (G-
sensor) is used for this case. It controls the ABS by
using the signals from the sensor during abrupt
braking and acceleration.
TCU unit
The transmission control unit (TCU) is installed under
the driver seat, and controls the transmission. The
TCU is operated by the ignition power supply and
receives and processes the following information from
the inner sensors through CAN buses.E-coupling unit
The E-coupling unit is a control unit which
determines the magnetic force by
considering CAN signals (wheel speed,
engine torque, pedal opening, ABS/ESP
CAN signals, etc.) from other ECUs.
TGS Lever assembly
The TGS communicates with TCU
(Transmission Control Unit), ECU,
ESP HECU and instrument cluster
to let the driver select the desired
transmission gear and to maintain
the desired driving condition. Also,
the tip switch is installed on the
lever knob and the steering wheel
so that the driver select the gear
manually when the shift lever is in
"M".Sensor cluster
The sensor cluster is linked to
the sensors on the unit board
and CAN interface. And they
are housed in one case and
mounted to the body.

Front sub frame with HPS type steering gear box assembly
The front sub frame consists of 4 body bush mountings and 2 transmission
bush mountings which reduce the vibration from the powertrain and road,
and also control the torque. And the frame is equipped with hydraulic
pressure pipe of the HPS type steering gear box.
4. SUB FRAME AND STEERING GEAR BOX LAYOUT
Front sub frame with EPS type steering gear box assembly
This kind of front sub frame system has the same mounting structure with
the frame with HPS. But the EPS type steering gear box has no hydraulic
pressure pipe since it is driven by the electric motor.

Stabilizer bar assembly
The stabilizer bar assembly is not activated if the left/right
wheels move up/down simultaneously, but if both wheels
move up/down differently it is activated with frame to
minimize the tilting of the body.
5. FRONT SUSPENSION COMPONENT LAYOUT
Front suspension supports the vehicle weight and absorber the vibration from tires. And, in this type of
suspension, the steering linkage tie rod is mounted on the knuckle. The Macpherson Strut suspension
is an independent suspension which has a spring on the strut with a built-in shock absorber. The lower
arm is installed on sub frame and large strut damper is installed on the knuckle to support the tire.
Lower arm assembly
The lower arm assembly connects the frame and
knuckle. It supports the load transferred to the tire
knuckle, relieves the impact from the vehicle and ground
conditions, and ensures driving stability.

6. REAR SUSPENSION COMPONENT LAYOUT
Multi-link type suspension is the independent suspension. It provides good ride comfort and drivability
by reducing the coil spring weight. Also, it increases the space for passenger compartment by lowering
the floor.
This type of suspension consists of multiple links such as trailing arm, upper arm, lower arm and track
rod.
Shock absorber assembly
This vehicle uses the gas
shock absorber. This
relieves the vertical
vibrations of vehicle to
provide ride comforts,
prevents the spring break,
enhances drivability, and
extends the life span of
steering components.
Upper arm assembly
Upper arm is installed between knuckle and sub
frame and controls the lateral load and vehicle
height.
Trailing arm assembly
Trailing arm is installed between knuckle and
vehicle body and controls the front and rear load.
Track rod assembly
Track rod is installed between knuckle and rear
sub frame and controls and compensates the
lateral load.

Steering gear box assembly
The steering gear box assembly consists of power cylinder and control valve. The power cylinder has a
cylinder, piston and piston rod. The control valve directs the oil to one end face of the piston to enhance
the steering force. There is a safety check valve which lets the driver steer manually when there is a
malfunction in the hydraulic circuit.
8. STEERING SYSTEM LAYOUT
1) HPS (Hydraulic Power Steering)
The hydraulic pump is a vane
type pump and consists of the
flow control valve and pressure
relief valve.The oil reservoir sends the oil to
the power steering pump and
receives the oil from the power
steering gear.There is a shock absorber which
is folded in the axial direction
when the vehicle is crashed and
a ignition switch assembly on
the column shaft.
The lower shaft minimizes the
torque change using a CV joint
which has constant angular
speed.

ECU
The ECU controls the electric
power steering system
depending on the driving
conditions, based on the
signals from the torque and
angle sensor.
2) EPS (Electric Power Steering)
Fuse
The vehicle with EPS has
EPS fuse (80A) mounted to
the positive (+) terminal of the
battery, and this fuse supplies
power to the EPS unit
directly..
Steering gear box assembly
When the driver turns the steering wheel, a torque is generated and the torque sensor and the steering
angle sensor in the EPS system detect the rotation of the steering column to run the electric motor. At
this time, the worm gear connected to the motor drives the helical gear mounted to the steering column
to generate the assist torque for the steering column. This allows the driver to operate the steering
wheel easier.

Colum shaft assembly
The column shaft assembly consists
of BLAC motor, ECU, torque and

steering (EPS) system uses the
electric motor to assist the steering
force. It functions independently
regardless of whether the engine is
running or not, unlike the existing
hydraulic power steering.
The lower shafts functions in the
same way as the hydraulic type.

4) Basic Inspection
(1) Horn operation
Listen for the horn sound when pressing the horn pad on the steering wheel. -
(2) Brake operation
Check if there is any abnormal noise, unusually long braking distance, or uneven braking force. If the
brake warning lamp does not go out even after starting the engien or are flashing during driving,
have the brake system checked immediately.
Check the brake pipes and hoses for connection, oil leak, crack or interference after changing the
position of tires. When replacing the tires, check the brake disc for surface condition and wear.
Check the parking brake cable and brake operation. Shorten the checking interval if the parking
brake is used frequently. -
-
-
(3) Exhaust system
Be aware to any changes in sound or smell from the exhaust system. These may be caused by leak or
overheat. Have the exhaust system checked and repaired immediately.
Inspect the exhaust system including catalytic converter. Inspect all the components and body frame
near the exhaust system. -
-
(4) Tires
Unusual vibration of the steering wheel and seats or pulling to one side on the straight and level roads
may indicates the uneven tire inflation pressure or poor wheel balance. -
(5) Steering and suspension system
Inspect the front and rear suspension and the steering system for damage, looseness or missing
parts, signs of wear or lack of lubrication. Inspect the power steering line and the hoses for
connection, leak, crack and chafing. Inspect the drive axle boot and seals for damage, tear or leak.
Replace or repair the system if necessary. -
(6) Engine oil
Check the oil level when the engine is still warm and add the specified engine oil if necessary. -
(7) Coolant
Check the coolant level in the coolant reservoir, coolant conditions (contamination, foreign material),
and hoses for damage and leak. Replace or add the Ssangyong genuine coolant, if needed. -
(8) Engine drive belt
Check all drive belts on the engine for wear, crack and looseness. Retighten or replace the belt, if
needed. -
