4. START FUNCTION
1) Immobilizer Function
The immobilizer system prevents the vehicle theft by allowing only the authorized key to start the
engine. The transponder inside the key communicates with the immobilizer installed in the key
box, and the system permits the engine to start after confirming the encrypted coding from the
engine ECU.
For the vehicle with the immobilizer, there can be a problem in starting the vehicle or the
system error:Immobilizer & rechargeable
unit sends encrypted code
to transponder (2)
Sends an encrypted signal to
unit as a response (3) Randomly transmitted code is changed
to an encrypted signal in immobilizer &
rechargeable unit (4)
System compares signal from
transponder and encrypted signal in
immobilizer & rechargeable unit (5)
When two or more immobilizer keys come into contact with (each) other(s).
When the key is close to any device sending or receiving electromagnetic fields or waves
other than Ssangyong products.
When the key is close to any electronic or electric devices such as lighting equipment,
security keys or security cards.
When the key is close to a magnetic or metal object or a battery. a.

Immobilizer and Warning Lamp ▶
This indicator comes on when the ignition key
is communicating with the engine control unit
(during engine starting) and goes out after
starting the engine.
When turning the ignition key to the "ON"
position, the ECU (engine control unit)
transmits the challenge message to the
immobilizer & rechargeable unit.
(This is to verify whether the key is valid. If the
verification fails, it transmits re-verification
signals 3 times for 2 seconds. If three re-
verifications fail, it stops verification and starts
re-verification after 10 seconds.) (1)
ECUOnly when the two signals are identical, it recognizes the
key as the authorized one and transmits the positive
message to the ECU. (6)
The ECU enable the engine to be started. (7)
Do not drop or shock to the transponder in the key as it may be damaged.
With a damaged transponder, the engine cannot be started.
When you erase the code or register an extra key, please attend on the site.
In any cases, the immobilizer system can not be removed from the vehicle. If you attempt to
remove it and damage the system, starting will be impossible, so never attempt to remove,
damage or modify it.
The remote engine starter cannot be installed to the vehicle equipped with the immobilizer
system. ·

2) Rechargeable Key Function (Charging)
If the communication between ECU (engine control unit), immobilizer & rechargeable unit and
transponder is establisehd successfuly (engine started), the rechargeable Li-ion battery in the
transmitter is charged.
The charging is made by creating the mutual induced electromotive force in the antenna coil and
by supplying the charging current to the battery in the key. This charging is not resulted from the
direct contact but the induced electromotive force of the coil in the transmitter according to the
change of magnetic field. For details, see the below:
Primary magnetic
induction coil Secondary magnetic
induction coil
The single coil has both immobilizer
function and recharge function.
For the immobilizer function, if the
transponder confirms the key as the
startable key by communicating with the
ECU, it induces a magnetic induction in the
primary coil by passing through the current
with a certain frequency to the immobilizer
coil. The induced electromotive force
created in this way, is stored in the
chargeable battery through the commutator
and the circuit. Primary magnetic

applied and/or the brake fluid
level is lower than specified
level.Seat belt warning lamp
The seat belt warning light comes on
and the seat belt warning chime
sounds for 6 seconds when the

TCU ▶
TCU is located under the driver's seat and controls the operations of transmission.
TCU receives the ignition voltage and has three connectors (16-pin, 12-pin, 20-pin).
TCU receives input signals from certain transmission-related sensors, gear select lever and
inhibitor switch. TCU also uses these signals when determining transmission operating strategy.
TCU uses PCAN to communicate with other units. And, TCU communicates with engine ECU,
ESP unit, TCCU and instrument cluster through CAN lines to control the gear shifting and to
recognize the current gear position.
DSI M78 Automatic Transmission is based on the transmission in the vehicle with D20DT engine
for EURO III or EURO IV or EURO V.
Differences: changed some components (torque converter and torque converter housing, some
pinion gears, sun gear), increased torsional damping force.

4. LIMP HOME MODE
In case of transmission malfunction ▶
If a serious fault occurs in the automatic transmission, the TCU enters the limp home
mode to secure safe driving and protect the automatic transmission.
As power is no longer supplied to the solenoid, the current basic function (P, R, N, D) is
maintained and the 4th gear can be maintained only by the operation of the hydraulic
system without electrical operation.
The ECU communicates with other electric modules with CAN. If a serious fault occurs, the
transmission automatically enters the limp home mode for service.
The TCU monitors all factors which can affect to the performance of the transmission and
diagnose the system according to OBD II regulation. 1.

4.
In case of overheated transmission ▶
The TCU enters the limp home mode when the batter voltage drops below 8 V.
If the transmission is overheated, the shift pattern is changed to the hot mode to cool the
transmission more efficiently.
While the transmission is overheated, the selector lever symbol and engine temperature
warning lamp on the instrument cluster blink until the transmission is cooled down to the
normal operation temperature. If the transmission is excessively overheated, the gear
cannot be shifted but remains in the neutral position. 1.

Towing the vehicle with A/T ▶
The best way to transport the vehicle is to load it to a truck and transport it, especially if the
vehicle is 4WD.
If towing the vehicle with the propeller shaft connected, the transmission or oil pump of
transfer case may malfunction, resulting in internal damage due to poor lubrication. -

(2) CAN Input/Output
TCU receives and sends the data among the units through P-CAN communication.
CAN Input/Output Data between Engine ECU and TCU ▶

Pressure Modulation ▶
To provide a higher level of shift comfort and durability, the hydraulic pressure in the shift related
friction elements of the transmission must be matched accurately to the input torque to
transmission. This hydraulic pressure is composed of a hydraulically pre-set basic pressure and a
control pressure which is set by one of the variable bleed solenoids.
The transmission input torque can be directly calculated from the following operating parameters:
engine torque signals
engine speed or any signal transmitted from ECU through CAN lines
converter slip -
-
-
Separate pressure characteristics for each gear change make it possible to adapt precisely to the
particular shift operation.
5) Shift Mode Selection by TCU
The driver can select Standard (S) or Winter mode (W) with the mode switch. TCU automatically
changes the shift mode according to the transmission oil temperature, uphill or downhill gradient,
and altitude to keep the good driving conditions.
Standard Mode (S) ▶
Uphii and Downhill Mode ▶
Altitude Mode ▶ Standard Mode is selected when setting the mode switch in Standard (S) position with the gear

timing provides the optimized fuel economy and good driving conditions.
In this mode, the operating points of torque converter lock-up clutch and the shifting points are
adjusted according to the vehicle weight.
In this mode, the shifting points are automatically adjusted according to the altitude to compensate
the engine torque changes due to barometric pressure and temperature.

Winter Mode (W) ▶
Low Range Driving Mode ▶
Warm Up Mode ▶ When the Winter mode is selected, the second gear is engaged to start off the vehicle easily to
prevent wheel spin on slippery surfaces and WINTER mode indicator comes ON. The first gear is
not available in this mode.
When the vehicle is in 4L driving mode, the transmission uses a different shift mode to optimize
the low range driving. Similar to Winter mode, the first gear is not available.
This mode is normally used when the transmission oil temperature is below 20°C.
