L4GC217A
REPLACING OXYGEN SENSOR

Oxygen sensor is as a fuel mixture control unit, if it is damaged,
exhaust gas will be bad as well as engine performance. So, if
the oxygen sensor is defected, necessarily replace it.
L4GC215A
COOLING SYSTEM
Check the cooling system hoses for damage and looseness or
inspect the joints for coolant leaks.
COOLANT
When the engine is delivered, the engine cooling system con-
tains mixture of antifreeze(40%) and water(60%).
Because the cylinder head and the water pump are made of
aluminum alloy, the mixture should contain antifreeze (ethylene
glycol) of 30~60% to prevent those from corrosion, freezing
and bursting.
NOTE
• If the coolant contains less than 30% of antifreeze,
anticorrosion is decreased.
• If the coolant contains more than 60% of
antifreeze, the engine will be fatally affected, re-
sulting from decreased anti-freezing and engine
cooling. Use only the recommended antifreeze
and do not mix with other production.
Recommended antifreeze Ethylene glycol

COOLANT VISCOSITY MEASUREMENT

Run the engine until the coolant is mixed completely, drain a
little of coolant to determine the coolant viscosity at a safe
operating temperature, measure the coolant viscosity and ad-
just it to the specified value.
REPLACING COOLANT
CAUTION
If the coolant is hot, injury can happen, so when the
engine is hot, never open the radiator cap until the
coolant temperature is dropped. When open the ra-
diator cap, be careful of hot coolant or steam, sur-
round the upper portion of the cap with a rag, slightly
open it counterclockwise to drop the pressure
through the reservoir tank tube, and then slowly turn
the cap to open.
1. After opening the radiator cap, loosen the drain plug and the
engine drain plug and drain the coolant.
2. Remove the reservoir tank and drain the coolant.

3. After draining the coolant completely, close the drain plug,
fill the engine and the radiator full with a radiator cleaner,
and clean the engine and the radiator.
4. After completing the cleaning, drain the cleaner and close
the radiator and engine drain plug.
5. After running the engine for a while, inspect the coolant

level and add a coolant to the specified level.
6. Replenish the reservoir tank with a coolant until the level
reads between FULL and LOW marks.

CHECKING ENGINE OIL
1. Be sure that the oil is between F and L marks of the Good
dipstick.
L4GC019A
2. If the oil level is below L mark, add about 1L of oil.

3. Check contamination and viscosity of the engine oil and
replace it if necessary.
CHECKING COMPRESSED PRESSURE

1. Prior to inspection, check that the engine oil, starter motor
and battery are normal.
2. Start the engine and run it until the engine coolant tempera-
ture reaches 80 ~ 95°C).
3. Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug cable and
air cleaner element.
4. Remove the spark plug.

5. After opening the throttle valve completely, crank the en-
gine to remove foreign material from the cylinder.
CAUTION
• At this time, necessarily screen the spark plug
hole with a rag. Because hot coolant, oil, fuel,
and other foreign material, being penetrated in
the cylinder through cracks can come into the
spark hole during checking compressed
pressure.
• When cranking the engine to test compressed
pressure, necessarily open the throttle valve be-
fore cranking.
6. Install the compression gauge to the spark plug hole.
2-14 GENERAL
7. With the throttle valve opened, crank the engine to measure

the compressed pressure.
Standard 15kg/cm2
Standard(250~400rpm)
Limit 14kg/cm2
8. Follow the procedures (no.6-7) to each cylinder and check

that compressed pressure values of all cylinders are within
the limit.
L4GC020A
Limit 1.0kg/cm2
9. If any of all cylinders is out of limit, add a small amount of

engine oil to the spark plug hole, and re-proceed the proce-
dures (no.6-7) to the cylinder.
At this time, if the compressed pressure is increased, it
means that the piston, piston ring or cylinder surface are
worn or damaged, and if the compressed pressure is
decreased, it means that the valve is clogged, the valve

TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Checking coolant leaks
1) After the coolant temperature drops below 38°C loosen

the radiator cap.
2) Check that the coolant level reaches filler neck.
3) Install the radiator cap tester to the radiator filler neck

and apply a pressure of 1.4kg/cm2 .
While maintaining it for 2 minutes, check the radiator,
hose, and connecting part for leak.
CAUTION
• Because the coolant in the radiator is too hot,
never open the cap when it hot, or injury may
occur due to an outburst of hot water.
• Dry out the inspection part.
• When removing the tester, take care not to
spill the coolant.
• When removing/installing the tester as well
as testing, take care not to deform the filler
neck.
4) Replace parts if leak is detected.
2. Density test
1) Measure density of the coolant using a hydrometer.
2) After measuring the coolant temperature, calculate den-
sity using the following table of temperature and density.
3. Temperature and density of coolant

IGNITION SYSTEM
GENERAL
1. If the ignition switch is ON, the battery voltage is supplied
to 1st coil of ignition coil.
2. By rotation of the crank position sensor wheel, ignition sig-
nal in ECU is actuated the power transistor and repeat ground
or shut off of 1st current of ignition coil.
3. This causes high pressure in 2nd coil, the induced current
from ignition coil to 2nd, coil is grounded though the spark
plug and each cylinder is ignited.
TROUBLESHOOTING
When it is hard to start engine, there can be problem with fuel
system or engine itself as well as ignition system.
Because main function of ignition system is to supply suffi-
cient electronic spark at a proper timing, when inspecting this
system, necessarily contains spark checking and ignition tim-
ing measurement. When inspecting ignition system installed to
the vehicle, check for possible trouble symptoms from faulty
circuit, power, 1st low voltage circuit, high voltage circuit, etc..

CHARGING SYSTEM 3-9
CHARGING SYSTEM B
GENERAL
G A
Charging system consists of battery, alternator with a built-in D E
regulator, charging warning lamp and wire. E
Because there are 6 diodes (3 (+) diodes, 3(-) diodes) built in
alternator, AC current is rectified to DC current and DC current C F
is detected in B terminal of alternator. Charging voltage from
alternator is controlled by battery voltage detection unit. L4GC309A
Alternator consists of rotor, stator, rectifier, capacitor, brush,

bearing, and V-ribbed pulley cover and Electronic voltage regu-
lator is built in brush holder.

3-10 CHARGING SYSTEM
TROUBLESHOOTING
Charging system defect is almost caused by lack of pan belt
tension and faulty function of wiring, connector, and voltage
regulator.
One of most important thing during troubleshooting of charging
system is determining the reason between overcharging and
lack of charging. So, prior to inspection of alternator, check the
battery for charging. Faulty alternator causes the following
symptoms.
1. Faulty battery charging

1) IC regulator fault(Short circuit)
2) Field coil fault
3) Main diode fault
4) Auxiliary diode fault
5) Stator coil fault
6) Brush contact fault
2. Overcharging : IC regulator fault(Short circuit)

Other faults such as voltage adjusting problem except above
symptoms rarely happen.

the alternator B terminal and battery (+) terminal.
PREPARATION
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
Ammeter
2. Disconnect the battery ground cable.
3. Disconnect the alternator output wire from the alternator
B terminal.
V
4. Connect a DC ampere meter (0-100A) between the terminal Battery
Voltmeter
and the disconnected output wire.
Connect (+) lead wire to the terminal B and (-) lead wire L4GC320A
to the disconnected output wire.
NOTE
In case of using a clamp type ammeter, it is possible
to measure current without disconnecting the
harness.
5. Connect a digital voltmeter between the alternator B
terminal and the battery (+) terminal.
Connect (+) lead wire to the terminal B and (-) lead wire
to the battery (+) terminal.
6. Connect the battery ground cable.

7. Be sure that the hood is opened.
TEST
1. Start the engine.
2. Repeating ON and OFF of headlight and small light, adjust

the engine speed until an ammeter reads 20A and at that
time measure voltage.
RESULT
1. If voltmeter reading is within the standard, it is normal.
Test voltage Maximum 0.2V
2. If voltmeter reading is more than the standard, mostly wir-

ing is faulty. In this case, inspect wirings between the alter-
nator and the battery (+) terminal as well as between the
alternator B terminal and the fusible link.
3. Also prior to re-test, check and repair the connecting part
for looseness and the harness for discoloration by
overheating.
4. After test, adjust the engine speed at idle and turn the light
and ignition switch OFF.

6. Disconnect the ammeter and voltmeter.
7. Connect the alternator output lead wire to the alternator
B terminal.
OUTPUT CURRENT TEST

This test is to check that the alternator output current is identi-
fied with the rated current.
PREPARATION
1. Prior to test, inspect the following items and repair if
necessary.
1) Be sure that the battery installed in the vehicle is

normal.(See Battery )
NOTE
When measuring output current, necessarily use
a slightly discharged battery. Fully charged bat-
tery is not enough to use for correct test owing
to insufficient load.
2) Inspect the drive belt for tension. (See Engine body )

4. Disconnect the alternator output wire from the alternator

B terminal.
5. Connect a DC ampere meter (0-100V) between B termi-

nal and the disconnected output wire.
Connect (+) lead wire to the terminal B and (-) lead wire
to the disconnected output wire.

6. Connect a voltmeter(0-20V) between B terminal and the
ground. L
DUMMY
Connect (+) lead wire to the alternator B terminal and (-)
lead wire to the proper position.
7. Connect the engine tachometer and then battery ground
cable.
8. Be sure that the hood is opened.
L4GC321A
TEST
1. Be sure that voltmeter reading is identified with battery
voltage.
If voltmeter reading is 0V, it means short circuit of wire
between B terminal and the battery (-) terminal, fusible
link cut off or ground fault.
2. Turn the headlight ON and start the engine.
3. With the engine running at 2,500 rpm, turn ON the high beam
headlights, place the heater blower switch at HIGH mea-
sure the maximum output current using a ammeter.
NOTE
This test should be done as soon as possible to mea-
sure the exact maximum current because output
current drops rapidly after starting the engine.
RESULT
1. Ammeter reading should be higher than the limit. If the read-
ing is low even though the alternator output wire is normal,
remove the alternator from the vehicle and inspect it.
Output current limit 70% of rated current
NOTE
• The rated output current is represented on the
name plate in the alternator body.
• Output current varies according to electrical load
or temperature of the alternator, so during test,
lack of electrical load causes impossibility of
measuring the rated output current. In this case,
turn on headlight to induce the battery discharg-
ing or turn on other lights to increase the electri-
cal load. If alternator temperature or ambient tem-
perature is too high, it is impossible to measure
the rated output current, so prior to re-test, nec-
essarily drop the temperature.

INSTRUCTION FOR MPI INSPECTION

1. When checking the alternator for charging, never remove
battery (+) terminal.
(If peak voltage of alternator is not absorbed by battery, it
is possible to burn out ECU power terminal element.)
2. 1. When inspecting circuit, use a digital multi-meter or a
LED of 1M or more.
(When using normal valve, if heavy load current is sent to
ECU, it is possible to burn out driving TR.)
3. When disconnecting ECU harness, necessarily turn Igni-
tion switch OFF.
(It is possible to damage ECU element by surge.)
4. When removing battery terminal, turn Ignition switch OFF.
5. When checking A/CON for operation, use a hi-scan and
when from the outside (relay driving source), use its har-
ness tool.
(It is possible to burn out ECU.)
6. When welding vehicle body, necessarily remove ECU first.
7. When charging battery from outside charger, remove bat-
tery (vehicle side) terminal.
(If supply voltage exceeds rated voltage of EUC, It is pos-
sible to burn out ECU.)
8. When charging battery or starting engine with outside charg-
ing power, never use it of 16V or more.
(If supply voltage exceeds rated voltage of EUC, It is pos-
sible to burn out ECU.)
9. For circuit test, do not use sensor ground as earth.

(If heavy load current is run to sensor ground, It is possible
to burn out PCB ground circuit.)

INSPECTION
FUNCTION AND OPERATING PRINCIPLE
Injector as a electronic controlled fuel injection unit, is solenoid
valve which supplies exactly calculated fuel as a spray to en-
gine to best combustion under the condition of various engine
load and speed.
For fuel consumption reduction, engine performance enhance- L4GC258A
ment and emission reduction, ECM controls fuel injection to

satisfy air fuel ratio required by system by reflecting induced
airflow and air fuel ratio among emission and adjusting injector
operating time. To enhance these control characteristics, quick
response of injector is required, and spray feature of injector is
important for perfect combustion.
