Do not work on the engine compartment while the engine, radiator, exhaust manifold, muffler
or catalytic converter is hot. Always turn the engine off and allow it to cool before starting the
maintenance.
Regularly check the engine oil level and add Ssangyong genuine engine oil if necessary.
Clean the dipstick with clean cloth so that any foreign materials cannot get into the engine. -

The engine ECU calculates the accelerator pedal based on the input signals from various sensors,
and controls the overall operation of the vehicle.
The ECU receives the signals from various sensor through data line, and performs effective air-fuel
ratio control based on these signals.
The crankshaft speed (position) sensor measures the engine speed, and the camshaft speed
(position) sensor determines the order of injections, and the ECU detects the amount of the
accelerator pedal depressed (driver's will) by receiving the electrical signals from the accelerator
pedal sensor.
The mass air flow sensor detects the volume of intake air and sends the value to the ECU.
The major function of the ECU is controlling air-fuel ratio to reduce the emission level (EGR valve
control) by detecting instantaneous air flow change with the signals from the mass air flow sensor.
Also, the ECU uses the signals from the coolant temperature & air temperature sensors, booster
pressure sensor, atmospheric pressure sensor to: a) determine injection starting point and set
value for pilot injection, and b) deal with various operations and variable conditions.

1) Coolant Level Check
Park the vehicle on level ground and apply the parking brake. Stop the engine and wait until it is
cooled down.
The coolant level should be between the MAX and MIN mark on the coolant reservoir.
Check the coolant level. If the level is below the “MIN” mark, immediately add coolant. 1.
2.
Scalding hot coolant and steam could be blown out under pressure, which could cause
serious injury. Never remove the coolant reservoir cap when the engine and radiator are hot.
Avoid any direct contact of the coolant to the painted body of the vehicle. -

2) Leak Test
Release the pressure in the system by
loosening the pressure cap of the coolant
reservoir slightly. Then, remove the pressure
cap completely. 1.
Never open the cap until the coolant
temperature becomes under 90℃ to
prevent any burn.
Add the coolant so that the coolant level is
between MAX and MIN mark on the
coolant auxiliary tank.
Connect the tester to the tank filler and
apply pressure (1.4 bar).
Check all the coolant hoses, pipes and
connections for leaks when the pressure of
the tester drops, and replace or tighten, if
necessary. 2.

(GCU)
1. OVERVIEW
The pre-heating system for D20DTR engine has the glow plug to the cylinder head (combustion
chamber), and improves the cold start performance and reduces the emission level.
The pre-heating resistor (air heater) is used to heat the intake air.
This enables the diesel fuel to be ignited in low temperature condition.
The ECU receives the information such as, engine rpm, coolant temperature, engine torque, etc.,
through CAN communication during pre-heating process; and the pre-heating control unit
controls the pre-heating, heating during cranking and post-heating by the PWM control.

(9) EGR control
A. Overview
The EGR (Electric-Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valve reduces the NOx emission level by
recirculating some of the exhaust gas to the intake system.
To meet Euro-V regulation, the capacity and response rate of E-EGR valve in D20DTR engine
have been greatly improved. The EGR cooler with high capacity reduces the Nox, and the bypass
valve reduces the CO and HC due to EGR gas before warming up.
Also, the engine ECU adjusts the E-EGR opening by using the air mass signal through HFM
sensor. If the exhaust gas gets into the intake manifold when the EGR valve is open, the amount
of fresh air through HFM sensor should be decresed.

Otherwise, PM could be increased due to too low exhaust gas temperature.
E. Control elements for EGR system
Accelerator pedal (engine load) - Indicates the driver's intention and engine load. If the load
goes up, the EGR ratio is decreased.
T-MAP (boost pressure map stored in ECU) - Compensates the difference in boost pressure
by adjusting EGR ratio.
Engine rpm - Used as the signal for determining EGR operating range.
Coolant temperature - When the coolant temperature is low, NOx is decreased but PM could
be increased. So, to reduce PM, decrease EGR ratio when the coolant temperature is low.
Intake air mass and temperature - HFM sensor measures the intake air mass to calculate the
actual EGR volume. If the air mass is larger than programmed value in map, EGR ratio will be
higher.
EGR position sensor - Detects the actual opening angle of EGR valve and performs feedback
function according to PWM control by ECU.
Wide band oxygen sensor - Detects the oxygen volume in exhaust gas to check if the EGR
ratio is proper.
Electronic throttle body - Keeps EGR ratio to optimized level by controlling the throttle body in
EGR operating range (decreasing pressure in intake manifold). -

(12) Cooling fan control
A. Overview of cooling fan and A/C compressor
The cooling system maintains the engine temperature at an efficient level during all engine
operating conditions. The water pump draws the coolant from the radiator. The coolant then
circulates through water jackets in the engine block, the intake manifold, and the cylinder head.
When the coolant reaches the operating temperature of the thermostat, the thermostat opens.
The coolant then goes back to the radiator where it cools. The heat from automatic transmission
is also cooled down through the radiator by circulating the oil through the oil pump. ECU controls
the electric cooling fans with three cooling fan relays to improve the engine torque and air
conditioning performance.
For detailed information, refer to Chapter "Air Conditioning System".
