brake fluid SSANGYONG KORANDO 2012 Service Manual

01-70000-00
3) General Instructions
Before lifting up the vehicle with a lift, correctly support the lifting points.
When using a jack, park the vehicle on a level ground and place the wheel chocks under the tires.
Position the jack under the frame and lift up the vehicle and then support with chassis stand before
service work.
Make sure to disconnect the negative (-) cable from the battery to prevent any damage to electric
systems.
If you have to work on vehicle, cover the seats and floor with protection covers to avoid any
damage and contamination.
Brake fluid and anti-freeze can damage the painted surface of body. So carefully handle them
during service work.
To improve the efficiency of service work, use only recommended and specified tools.
Use only Ssangyong genuine spare parts.
Never reuse the cotter pin, gasket, O-ring, oil seal, lock washer and self-locking nut. Replace them
with new ones. If reused, normal functions cannot be maintained.
Store the disassembled parts as a set based on disassembly order and unit.
Pay particular attention not to miss or mix the fasteners.
If necessary, especially for inspection, clean the removed parts completely.
Apply the oil or grease on the running and sliding surfeces before installation. Use the specified
sealant and gasket to prevent leakage if necessary.
Tighten the fasteners with the specified tightening torque.
As a final stage of service work, check if the serviced system is working properly and the problem
has been eliminated clearly. (1)

5. TRANSAXLE ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM
1) General Information
The transmission control unit (TCU) and its input/output network control the following transmission
operations:
Shift timing
Line pressure
Clutch pressure (shift feel)
Torque converter clutch -
-
-
-
also uses these signals when determining transaxle operating strategy. Using all of these input signals,
the TCU can determine when the time and conditions are right for a shift, or when to apply or release the
torque converter clutch. It will also determine the pressure needed to optimise shift feel. To accomplish
this, the TCU operates six variable bleed control solenoids and four on/off solenoids to control transaxle
operation.
2) TCU (Transmission Control Unit)
The transaxle control unit (TCU) is mounted
under the driver's seat and controls the operation
of the transaxle.
The TCU is activated and deactivated by the
ignition power supply and is connected to the
transaxle link harness by a 26 pin connector. The
TCU processes information received from internal
sensors and signals received across the CAN
bus in analogue and digital forms such as:
Transaxle input speed
Transaxle output speed
Accelerator pedal position
Gear selector position
Engine torque
Engine speed
Transaxle fluid temperature
Brake pedal status
Engine oil temperature
Engine coolant temperature
Ambient air temperature
Barometric pressure -

The TCU monitors all TCU inputs and outputs to confirm correct system operation. If a fault occurs the
TCU is able to perform default action and inform the driver of the problem through the instrument cluster
warning lights. Detailed information is available via trouble codes which can be read with the service tool.

4WD - Front/Rear wheel speed
sensor
2WD - Front wheel speed sensor
2WD - Rear wheel speed sensor
ECU (Electronic Control Unit) 1.
ECU calculates the wheel speed, acceleration and
deceleration with the information from wheel
speed sensor, and determines the wheel slip to
control the valve and motor.
HU (Hydraulic Unit) 2.
The hydraulic circuit contains the primary circuit
and secondary circuit for ABS operation. This unit
controls the hydraulic pressure to each wheel. If
the system needs ABS operation, the valves in
the unit operate to control HOLD, RISE and
DUMP according to ECU control logic.
Motor 3.
The motor is operated when ABS is activated. The
cam-shaped output shaft of the motor enables the
brake system to receive and supply the brake fluid
during the motor operation.
Wheel speed sensor ▶
Wheel speed sensor sends the data detected by
tone wheel to HECU.

Rear wheel speed sensor in 2WD vehicle is
different from that in 4WD vehicle.
