Chapter III LIFAN Vehicle Maintenance


Rules

Notes for regular check and maintenance


If you have abundant basic knowledge of vehicle structure and equipments, you can do the regular check
and maintenance by yourself. If you do that by yourself, please read the following knowledge, instructions
and advices. If you can’t follow the instruction, your vehicle would be damaged or experience some other
dangers.
If you find problems of oil or fluid refilling, components repair and adjustment during checking, you must
refer to repair service center of LIFAN. There would be harm or fault without plentiful knowledge of
vehicle maintenance and technology.
1. Notice for checking preparation and place
● Do not check the vehicle in the place blocking people or traffic. Maybe accidents will arise without
ensuring surrounding safety.
● Do not check the vehicle at an acclivitous place, because it may bring harm for vehicle sliding, or can’t
measure the oil mass and fluid quantity exactly.
● Carry out the check until all wheels stop after parking brake. If you check when parking brake is
incomplete, or wheels do not stop running completely, it may bring accidents for tire slip.
● Jack would be used only when changing tire and installing tire chain, do not use it in checking and
maintenance.
2. Notice for engine compartment check
● Do not check the vehicle when the engine is working. When the engine is in action, you would be injured
if you touch the rotating part of strap or fan. Contact with the spark plug and high voltage wire may cause a
dangerous electric shock.
● Do not check the vehicle when ignition connected or on. In addition, even cooling fan stops, it still starts
again when the temperature of the cooling water is high, and thus causes harm.
● Do not touch high temperature part like exhaust pipe and radiator when the engine stops for a while, or
you may be burned.
● Do not place goods in engine compartment, especially paper, cloth or tinder. If you forget to take them
away, they would be on fire, and very dangerous.
● Do not remove the wiring to avoid fault.

before removing ECM wire harness socket connector, wire connector, etc.
Note: Check the DTC before disconnecting the battery negative pole (-) terminal.
(b) Be careful when installing the battery. Do not mistakenly connect the two poles of the battery.
(c) Do not let the parts affect each other for avoiding vice effects when remove and install electronic parts.
Process all the electronic parts carefully, especially the ECM.
(d) Be especially careful during fault diagnosis, because there are lots of transistor circuit in ECM and even
slight contact may cause fault.
(e) Do not open the ECM outer cover.
(f) Be especially careful when checking during a raining day for water penetration to ECM. Meanwhile
when washing the engine compartment, water penetration to ECM and wire harness socket connector
should also be prevented.
(g) ECM part should be replaced in the form of an assembly.
(h) Be specially careful when inserting and unplugging wire harness terminal.
1) When loosening the lock catch, the force pulling the socket connector should affect on the socket
connector.

Fig. 2-313

(a) The engine alarm light should be on when the ignition switch is in the ON position and the engine is not
started.
(b) After the engine is started, the engine alarm light should be off. As shown in Fig. 2-315, if the alarm
light is not off, there should be fault in the engine electrical system.

Fig. 2-315
3. Check the DTC with hand-held diagnostic equipment (diagnostic equipment type: OBD II)
(a) Connect the hand-held diagnostic equipment to the diagnosis socket.
(b) Read the DTC displayed on the screen of diagnostic equipment. For more detailed information please
refer to the instruction manual of the hand-held diagnostic equipment.
4. Clear the DTC
(a) The DTC still remains in the ECM storage after fixing the fault area. To clear these codes, the ignition
switch should be in the OFF position, disconnect the electronic fuel injection fuse (15A), or disconnect the
negative pole of the battery at least for 10 seconds so as to clear the DTC by cutting off the system power.
The duration is determined by the environmental temperature (The temperature is lower, the duration for
cutting off power is longer.).
Note:
The DTC can also be cleared by disconnecting the negative pole (-). However, this will also clear the
information in other storage systems (like timing system).
If the DTC is not cleared, it will be stored in ECM and appear together with the new DTC as past DTC in
the future fault diagnosis.
First check if the DTC is recorded during necessary maintenance for terminals on engine assembly without
power supply.
(b) Check if the engine alarm light works normally through road testing after clearing the DTC. If the same
DTC appears, it means that the fault area is not completely repaired.

2) Start the engine, and warm it to normal working temperature.
3) Maintain the engine rotation speed at 2,000rpm, and measure the temperature between the two pins.
Check if the voltage is around 0.45V. If it is, the oxygen sensor and loop is well, and then check if there is
intermittent fault. If it is not, proceed to the next procedure.
(b) Check if the voltage is maintained above 0.45V.
1) If it is, check if J162 and the power supply loop are short-circuited or if the air-fuel gas is too dense. If
the circuit is normal, check the intake air temperature and pressure sensor, engine water temperature sensor,
fuel pressure, injector and the loops. If the above are normal, check the ECM and its circuit.
2) If voltage is normal, proceed to the next procedure.
3) Maintain the engine rotation speed at 2,000rpm for 1min, and repeat rapid acceleration of the engine.
Then check the voltage.
a. If the voltage is 0.45 or even more than 1 time, the circuits of J162 and J106 are contacted poorly or the
air-fuel gas is too thick; if the circuit is normal, check intake air temperature and pressure, engine water
temperature sensor, fuel pressure, injector and loops. If the above are normal, check ECM and its circuit.
b. If the voltage is lower than 0.45V, the circuits of J162 and J106 are shortened or opened, or there is
function fault for the oxygen sensor. If the circuit and connection are normal, replace the oxygen sensor. If
it is still not normal after replacing the oxygen sensor, replace the ECM.
11. Knock sensor circuit fault

(a) Check wire harness and connector:
Check the connection condition of the wire harness between ECM and knock sensor. Disconnect ECM and
sensor connector, measure the electric resistance between ECM connector terminal and vehicle body earth
wire, which should be more than 1MΩ. If abnormal, replace the wire harness.
(b) Check knock sensor: If the oscillation frequency is not 8.1kHz under normal condition, the sensor is
abnormal, and the conduction condition between the terminal and vehicle body should be checked. If not
normal, replace knock sensor; if normal, proceed to the next procedure.
(c) Check wire harness and connector (ECM-knock sensor)
1) Disconnect ECM connector.
2) Disconnect knock sensor connector.
3) Measure the electric resistance between Terminal J169 of ECM connector and terminal of knock sensor

Chapter VI Electronic Injection System

Section I Introduction

I. Fundamentals
The electronic injection system is a multi-point fuel injection system with electronic control unit (ECU).
With various sensors installed on different parts of the engine to measure each working parameter of the
engine, the ECU can precisely control the fuel injection volume by controlling the fuel injector according to
the pre-set control program in the computer, and achieve the most favorable air-fuel mixture for the engine
under any working condition. With the control program in the ECU and relevant actuator, such functions as
fuel increase at start, fuel increase at warm-up, fuel increase at acceleration, fuel increase at full load, fuel
decrease at deceleration, fuel cut at idle speed, and automatic idle speed control are available in this system,
which can achieve special air-fuel mixture for the engine under the special working condition. Therefore,
the engine enjoys good performances in fuel efficiency and exhaust emission, and the service performance
of the vehicle is improved at the same time. Besides, the trouble diagnostic modes in the ECU can make the
researching of troubles much easier.
II. Structure of electronic control system
The electronic control system is divided into the following three parts:
1. (1) Sensor---Convert various non-electrics physical quantities of the engine into electrics physical
quantities, and then send them to the ECU. The sensors on ECU of Lifan 320 (LF479Q3 engine, close
coupling catalytic converter, aluminous intake manifold) include:
① Intake pressure and temperature sensor
②Throttle position sensor
③Coolant temperature sensor
④ Heated oxygen sensor (front and rear oxygen sensor, only front oxygen senor available under National
III Emission Standard, front and rear oxygen sensor available under National III Emission Standard
(Simplified) + EOBD and in National IV Emission Standard)
⑤ Knock sensor
⑥ Crankshaft position sensor
Weak acceleration sensor (unavailable under National III Emission Standard (Simplified), available under
National III Emission Standard +EOBD and under National IV Emission Standard).
2. Electronic control unit (ECU) is the “brain” for the whole electronic control system, which analyses and
processes all the information from sensors, sends orders to actuator, and makes the engine work under the
best condition.
3. Actuator is to perform the orders from the ECU. The actuator is the “hand” and “leg” of the electronic
control system, which include: ① Fuel pump, ② Fuel injector, ③ Ignition coil, ④ Idle speed actuator with
stepper motor, ⑤ Canister control valve.
III. Four stroke engine multi-point electronic fuel injection
1. Simultaneous injection: Injectors in all cylinders inject fuel simultaneously, with 2 times of fuel
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
injection at each circle in each cylinder.
2. Group injection: Even number cylinders ignite in succession, and two cylinders inject fuel
simultaneously. For example, Cylinder 1 and 3 in the 4 cylinders inject fuel simultaneously; and Cylinder 2
and 4 inject fuel after the crankshaft turn over 360°. Each cylinder injects one time in each circle.
3. Orderly injection: Injector in each cylinder injects fuel in fixed phase, and injects one time at each
circle in each cylinder.
As the gas mixtures in all the cylinders are different during simultaneous injection, it is the worst situation
for the engine to work. And the gas mixtures in all cylinders are the same during orderly injection, which is
the best situation for the engine to work. Group injection is between the former two.
IV. Basic functions of gasoline engine ECU
1. Electronic fuel quantitative control
As the most important function in gasoline engine ECU, it plays an key role in power, energy saving and
exhaust of the engine and mobility and comfort degree of the whole vehicle, which involves O2 closed-loop
control, start control, after-start control, engine warming control, idle speed control (idle speed rotation
control), full load control, acceleration and deceleration control, overspeed fuel cut control, towing astern
fuel cut control and evaporative emission control (canister control), etc.
2. Electronic control on electronic ignition timing and ignition close angle
As an important function next to fuel quantity in ECU, it also plays an important role in power, energy
saving and exhaust of the engine and mobility and comfort degree of the whole vehicle, including
electronic knock control.
V. Air-fuel ratio in gasoline engine
Air-fuel ratio is the quality proportion of air and fuel in air-fuel gas mixture (gas mixture).
Theoretical air-fuel ratio is the quality proportion of air and fuel in gas mixture when both air and fuel are
completely burnt out. As a constant, theoretical air-fuel ratio changes with different fuels, and the ratio for
gasoline and diesel oil is about 14.7:1.
The ratio between actual air-fuel ratio and theoretical air-fuel ratio is excess air coefficient (λ).
λ=1 means that the actual ratio equals theoretical ratio;
λ>1 means that the actual ratio is larger than the theoretical ratio, the gas mixture is dilute;
λ<1 means that the actual ratio is smaller than the theoretical ratio, the gas mixture is thick.
VI. Fundamentals of electronic control of gasoline engine ignition timing
1. Key aspect of electronic control of ignition timing
The key aspect of electronic control of ignition timing is to control the ignition advance angle. And the
ignition advance angle should be adjusted to achieve the largest power, torque and lowest fuel consumption
result under the condition of no knock and no excess of emission limitation.
2. Knock and knock control
Knock is the spontaneous combustion phenomenon of unburned gas mixture in the cylinder. Knock harms
the engine greatly, and severe knock will damage the engine. And because of this knock, the traditional
carburetter engine has to choose a small ignition advance angle at the cost of low torque and power and
high fuel consumption. While the engine with electronic fuel injection control can prevent knock through
adjusting the ignition advance angle to a smaller angle. As a result, a comparatively large ignition advance
angle in usual time can obviously improve the power and torque and decrease the fuel consumption.
The knock control function of fuel injection engine with electronic control is based on the knock signal
from the knock sensor. As the signals from knock sensor include other vibration signals caused by other
mechanical reasons, ECU has to process and analyze these signals and choose the right one. If necessary
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
ECU will also adjust the ignition advance angle to a smaller angle to avoid knock, and resume to the
previous ignition angle gradually when there is no knock signal.

Section II Part Structure and Performance

I. Intake pressure and temperature sensor

Fig. 2-1 Intake air sensor element


1. Function: Measure the absolute pressure of the 0.1-0.2bar intake manifold and the temperature of the
intake air flow, and provide load information for the engine.
2. Structure and principle: The sensor consists of intake manifold absolute pressure sensor and intake air
temperature sensor, which is installed on the pressurizer tank.
3. Intake air pressure sensor: made by a silicon chip. There is a pressure diaphragm on the silicon chip
and are 4 piezoelectric resistances on the diaphragm. The 4 piezoelectric resistances build up a wheatstone
bridge. Besides the pressure diaphragm, there is also a signal process circuit on the chip. The silicon chip
and a metal housing build up a closed referential space, in which the absolute pressure of the air is
approximately zero. Then, a microelectronic mechanical system is established. There is a zero pressure on
the active side of the silicon chip and an absolute pressure of the intake manifold on the back side of the
chip. The thickness of the silicon chip is only several microns (μm), and the form of the chip will be
mechanically changed with the change of the absolute pressure of the intake manifold. Then, the 4
piezoelectric resistances and their resistance values will be also changed. After treated by the signal process
circuit on the chip, the pressure signal, which is linearly related to pressure, will be formed.
4. Intake air temperature: Made by a resistance with negative temperature coefficient (NTC). Similar to
water temperature sensor, the resistance value will decrease with the increase of the intake air temperature.
The change of the intake air temperature will be supervised and measured by a comparative electric circuit
within the ECU.
5. Connection circuit
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual

Fig. 2-2 Circuit diagram of intake air temperature and pressure sensor

6. Trouble diagnosis: The electronic devices of the intake air pressure sensor can diagnose such troubles
as open/short circuit and the damage of senor. When the ECU detects that the signal output by the sensor is
beyond its normal signal curve, the sensor will be in trouble. For example, when the intake air pressure is
higher or lower than its limit, the ECU will confirm that the sensor is in trouble (The pressure lower than
the limit at start will be excluded by the ECU.), then the engine MIL will be lighted and the operation under
trouble mode will be applied.
II. Throttle valve position sensor

1
2

Fig. 2-3 Throttle valve position sensor

1 - Voltage input 2 - Signal earth connection 3 - Signal output

1. Function: To provide throttle-alternator position information to the ECU. According to this information,
the ECU can obtain other information on engine load, working condition (start, idle speed, backing, partial
load, and full load), acceleration and deceleration. With the three-wire sensor, the ECU can detect the
opening of throttle through the change of pressure
2. Structure and principle: As an angle sensor with linear output, the sensor is made by two arc sliding
contact resistances and two sliding contact arms. The turning shaft of the sliding contact arm shares the
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
same axis with the throttle shaft. Power supply voltage (US) of 5V is added to the both ends of the sliding
contact resistance. When the throttle turns, the arm turns and moves on the sliding contact resistance. Then,
the electric potential (UP) at the contact point will be led out as an output voltage. Actually, it is an angle
sensor and the real value adopted by the ECU is the value of Up/Us, and the value fluctuation of the sensor
caused by the fluctuation of the generator voltage will be avoided.

3. Connection circuit: As shown in the following circuit diagram of throttle valve position sensor.

Fig. 2-4 Circuit diagram of throttle valve position sensor

1 - Voltage input 2 - Signal earth connection 3 - Signal output

4. Trouble diagnosis: By monitoring the throttle-alternator position, when the signal higher or lower than
its limit, the ECU will confirm that the throttle position sensor is in trouble, then the engine operation under
trouble mode will be applied, and the engine MIL will be lighted (Knock on sensor and internal dirt will
contribute to engine troubles.)
5. Installation: Allowed fastening torque for fastening screw is 1.5N.m-2.5N.m. (Fastening torque for
installation screw is 1.5N.m~2.5N.m.)
III. Coolant temperature sensor
1. Function: To provide information on coolant temperature. To provide water temperature signal for the
ECU, and to control ignition timing and fuel injection pulse width at start, idle speed, and normal operation.
2. Structure and principle: Made by a thermistance with NTC. The resistance value will decrease with the
increase of the coolant temperature (not a linear relation). The thermistance with NTC is installed within a
copper sleeve. With a voltage division circuit, the resistance value of the thermistance is converted into a
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
changing voltage and then provided to the ECU, and then the change of water temperature can be
monitored (internal structure of ECU).
3. Connection circuit
4. Trouble diagnosis: When the coolant temperature is higher than its upper limit, or lower than its bottom
limit, the engine MIL will be lighted and the engine operation under trouble mode will be applied. Then,
the ECU will carry out the ignition and fuel injection control as per the water temperature set under the
engine water temperature trouble mode, and make the fan run at a high speed at the same time.
5. Limit data: 2.5±5%KΩ
6. Installation note: Tightening torque is 15±2N.m.

IV. Knock sensor


1. Function: To provide engine knock information for the ECU for knock control.
2. Structure and principle: As a vibration acceleration sensor, installed on the cylinder block of the
engine. The sense element of the sensor is a piezoelectric element. The vibration of the cylinder block of
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
the engine can be transferred to the piezoelectric crystal through the mass block within the sensor. Under
the mass block vibration pressure, voltage will be produced at the two polars of the piezoelectric crystal,
and the vibration signal will be changed into alternately changing voltage signal and be put out. Since the
frequency of the vibration signal caused by the engine knock is much higher than that of the vibration
signal caused by normal engine shock, the ECU can tell knock signal or non-knock signal after processing
the signal with wave filtering technology. When the load, rotation speed, and coolant temperature exceed
the threshold value and no trouble information record is available for the shock sensor, the signal of the
shock sensor will be used for shock closed loop control. When the shock closed loop control is activated,
the signal of the shock sensor will be sent to the ECU for amplification and wave filtering, and then
accumulated. If the accumulation exceeds the limit within a certain crank angle, the ECU will confirm that
shock occurs and decrease the ignition advance angle at this moment. If shock still occurs at the next cycle,
the ECU will further decrease the ignition advance angle. If no shock occurs at the following cycles, the
ECU will recover the original normal ignition advance angle.

4. Trouble diagnosis: The ECU will monitor the sensors, actuators, power amplifying circuit and detecting
circuit. In case of any of the following situations, like shock sensor trouble, shock control data process
circuit trouble, unreliable cylinder judgment signal, incorrect shock sensor trouble mark level, and shock
closed loop control closed, the ignition advance angle stored in the ECU will be decreased for a safety
angle. When the trouble frequency is lower than the set value, the trouble mark level will be repositioned.
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
5. Installation notes: Tightening torque is 20±5N·m. There is a hole in the middle of knock sensor, which
can be used to fasten it on the cylinder block with a M8 bolt. And use 25mm long bolt for cast-iron cylinder
block. Installation position should be easy for sensor to receive vibration signal from all cylinders, which
should be decided by modal analysis of cylinder block. Usually the knock sensor should be installed
between Cylinder 2 and 3 for an engine with 4 cylinders. Do not let engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, water
and other materials contact the sensor for a long time. Do not use any kind of washer when installing. The
metal surface of sensor must contact the cylinder block. Avoid resonance vibration of signal wire for
rupture prevention when installing the signal wire. And high voltage current between Pin 1 and 2 is not
allowed because this may damage piezoelectric element.
V. Oxygen sensor
1. Function: To provide the information that whether oxygen in the cylinder is too high after the fuel is
burned with the air in the cylinder. With this information, the ECU can carry out closed loop control for the
fuel ration. Therefore, the three main toxic elements (HC, CO, and NOX) of the engine exhaust can be best
converted and purified in the three-way catalytic converter.
2. Structure and principle: The sense element of the oxygen sensor is a ceramic pipe with holes and gaps.
The pipe is surrounded by engine exhaust and the air flows within the pipe. The ceramic pipe wall is a kind
of solid electrolyte with electric heating tube inside, which begins work when the ceramic pipe has been
heated to 300 0C (a feature of a solid electrolyte). With such a special material, the oxygen ions can freely
go through the ceramic pipe. Then, the concentration difference of the mixture will be converted into
potential difference, which will be put out in the form of electric signal. If the concentration of the mixture
is relatively high, the concentration difference of the oxygen ions inside and outside the ceramic pipe will
be relatively high, and the potential difference will be relatively high as well. At the same time, a lot of
oxygen ions will move to the outside from the inside, and the voltage output will be relatively high. If the
concentration of the mixture is relatively low, the concentration difference of the oxygen ions inside and
outside the ceramic pipe will be relatively low, and the potential difference will be relatively low as well.
At the same time, little oxygen ions will move to the outside from the inside, and the voltage output will be
relatively low. The working voltage of the oxygen sensor fluctuates from 0.1V to 0.9V, which will be
changed for 5-8 times within 10 seconds. In case of lower than the changing frequency, the oxygen sensor
shall be renewed, as it can not be repaired.

LIFAN320 Service manual

3. Connection circuit

Fig. 2-10 Circuit diagram of oxygen sensor

1 - Main relay output 2 - Oxygen sensor heating control 3 - Signal low 4 - Signal high

4. Trouble diagnosis: The ECU will monitor the sensors, actuators, power amplifying circuit and detecting
circuit. In case of any of the following situations, like unreliable battery voltage, unreliable air intake
manifold absolute pressure singal, unreliable engine coolant temperature signal, fuel injector driving stage
trouble, incorrect oxygen sensor trouble mark level, and fuel ration closed loop control closed, the fuel
ration will be confirmed according to the basic fuel injection time stored in the ECU.
5. Installation notes: The tightening torque of the oxygen sensor is 50~60N.m. Apply anti-rust oil to the
renewed oxygen sensor to prevent difficult removal due to rust. Oxygen sensor should be installed on
exhaust pipe where can represent the exhaust gas composition and meet the temperature limit, which means
that the position should be at the nearest position to the engine.
VI. Electronic control unit (ECU)
1. Function: The ECU is the key part of the electronic control system of the engine. The sensors provide
various signals to the ECU, and the ECU calculates the signals and sends orders to the actuators like fuel
injector, ignition coil etc to control the engine.
2. Structure: Made by a shielded housing and printed circuit board, many electronic control units
integrated on the board to control the electronic injection system.
3. Installation: Fixed under the instrument panel sundries box with bolt, the double interfaces ECU is
adopted.

VII. Electric fuel pump


1. Function: To deliver fuel in the oil tank to the engine with a certain oil pressure and volume, not greatly
affected by temperature and voltage.
2. Structure and principle: The fuel pump consists of DC motor, vane pump, and end cap (integrating
check valve, pressure release valve and anti-electromagnetic interference element), which shares the same
axle and housing with the motor. The bump and motor in the housing is surrounded by gasoline, which can
be used for cooling and lubricating material. The battery supplies power for the electric fuel pump through
a relay. The relay is connected with the fuel pump only when the engine starts and operates. When the
engine stops due to some troubles, the fuel pump will stop automatically. The maximum pressure at the
outlet of the fuel pump will be decided by the pressure release valve. As no-oil-return system is adopted,
the fuel pressure regulator is installed on the fuel pump assembly. The fuel pressure regulator can adjust the
pressure of the fuel pump to 380±10kPa to meet the demand of the system.

Fig. 2-12 Electric fuel pump


3. Connection circuit

Fig. 2-13 ECU


Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
Note: The temperature of the fuel greatly affects the performance of the fuel pump. When operates under a
high temperature for a long time, the pressure of the fuel pump will decrease sharply. Therefore, if the
engine fails to start up after warm-up, please carefully check the fuel pump for working performance under
a high temperature.
VIII. Electro-magnetic injector
1. Function: According to the order from the ECU, the injector will carry out fuel injection and
atomization within a required time for the engine.
2. Structure and principle: The ECU will send electric pulse to the fuel injector coil to form magnetic
force. When the magnetic force is high enough to overcome the joint force of return spring pressure, pin
valve gravity, and friction, the pin valve begins to rise and the fuel injection starts. The maximum rise of
the pin valve will not exceed 0.1mm. When the fuel injection pulse stops, the pressure of the return spring
will close the pin valve.

Fig. 2-14 Injector


3. Connection circuit

Fig. 2-15 Injector circuit diagram


Installation notes: The plugs for certain fuel injectors should be selected as per requirement. To facilitate
installation, it is recommended to apply clean silicon-free oil on the surface of the upper O ring connected
to the fuel distribution pipe. Take care not to pollute the internal of the injector and the injection hole by the
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
oil. Install the injector vertically into the injector seat and fix the injector on the seat with a clip.
Note: For vehicles out of use for a long time, the adhesive gasoline within the injector can make the vehicle
fail to start.
4. Trouble diagnosis: The electronic injection system will carry out trouble diagnosis for the driving stage
of the fuel injector. When the driving stage of the injector is short or overloaded to the battery voltage, as
well as short and open to the ground, the trouble mark level will be positioned. At this moment, the closed
loop control and the self-learning pre-control of the oxygen sensor will be closed, while the self-learning
data last time will be effective. The trouble mark level will be repositioned after the trouble being removed.
IX. Idle speed actuator stepper motor
1. Function: A by-pass air intake passage will be provided by the idle speed actuator with stepper motor.
When the throttle is closed, air will enter into the engine through this by-pass passage. With a stepper
motor, the ECU can adjust the size of the passage, and then confirm the air volume into the engine. At the
same time, the ECU can also adjust the fuel injection volume on the basis of the air volume. With the
stepper motor, the ECU can change the working condition for the engine according to actual situations.
2. Structure and principle: As a mini-size motor, the stepper motor consists of several steel stators in a
circle and one rotator. Every stator is winded with a coil. The rotator is a permanent magnet, and at the
center of the magnet, there is a nut. All the coils of the stators are connected with the power supply
constantly. As long as the current direction of one of the coils changes, the rotator will turn for an angle.
When the current direction of the coil of each stator changes in a certain proper sequence, a rotary magnetic
field will be formed, and the rotator of the permanent magnet will rotate in a certain direction.

4. Trouble diagnosis: The short and open circuit of the two coils of the idle speed stepper motor will be
monitored by the ECU. When such troubles occur, the engine MIL will be lighted and the engine will be
operated under trouble mode. If the engine fails to work normally after check the steps of the stepper motor
with a diagnostic instrument, the intake air pressure should be checked to ensure the normal operation of
the piston of the stepper motor.
X. Ignition coil
1. Function: To convert primary winding low voltage electricity into secondary winding high voltage
electricity, to produce spark to burn the mixture of fuel and air in the cylinder.
2. Grouped ignition: Based on the signal from the crankshaft/camshaft position sensor, the ECU controls
the low signal of ignition coil for the ignition of the engine according to crankshaft position sensor.
3. Structure and principle: Consists of primary winding, secondary winding, iron core, housing, etc.
When the battery is connected with the primary winding, the primary winding will be charged. When the
circuit of the primary winding is cut down by the ECU, the charge will stop. Meanwhile, the high voltage
electricity will be induced in the secondary winding.

Fig. 2-18 Ignition coil


Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
4. Trouble diagnosis: The ECU will not carry out trouble diagnosis for the ignition coil. Therefore, when
trouble occurs on the ignition coil, no diagnostic trouble code will be produced. Only the resistance of the
ignition coil can be checked for the normal operation of the coil. Under normal situation, the heat emitted
by the coil under operation will be high, and the over-high temperature of the coil will increase its
resistance value, which will cause such troubles as unstable running, automatic misfiring for the engine.

Fig. 2-19 Circuit diagram of ignition coil


Primary winding: 0.52±0.05- 221 - secondary winding: 9.84±0.9
XI. Canister control valve
1. Function: To control the air flow to clean the canister. The canister control valve is controlled by the
ECU based on the engine load, electric pulse duration and frequency (duty cycle). The over-accumulated
gasoline vapor in the activated canister will cause gasoline leakage and environmental pollution. Thus, the
canister solenoid valve is designed to be opened properly to introduce the over-accumulated gasoline vapor
into the intake pipe for combustion.
2. Structure and principle: Consists of solenoid coil, armature, valves, etc. A filter is considered for the
inlet hole. The air volume flows through the canister control valve is affected by the duty cycle of the
electric pulse output by the ECU, meanwhile, it is also affected by the pressure difference between the inlet
and outlet hole. When no electric pulse is produced, the canister control valve will be closed. According to
the signals from each sensor, the ECU can control the time for power connection of the canister solenoid
valve, and then control the volume of the cleaning air flow.

Fig. 2-20 Canister control valve


3. Trouble diagnosis: The ECU will carry out trouble diagnosis for the driving stage of the canister control
valve. When the driving stage of the canister control valve is short or overloaded to the battery voltage, as
well as short and open to the ground, the fuel ration closed loop control self-learning and the idle speed air
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
ration self-learning will be closed, while the self-leaning data at that moment will be effective. When the
canister solenoid valve is under trouble, the engine is likely to experience unstable idle speed or over-high
idle speed.

Fig. 2-21 Circuit diagram of canister control valve

XII. Fuel distribution pipe


1. Function: To store and distribute fuel, and let redundant fuel return to fuel tank. The injector and fuel
pressure regulator are installed on it to provide a stable pressure environment for fuel injection system,
which can balance the fuel supply pressure and fuel supply amount and maintain the stable working
condition of engine.
2. Structure and principle: The fuel distribution pipe in this system consists of injector and fuel supply
pipe. As the system adopts no-return fuel control, there is no fuel pressure regulator in fuel supply pipe.
3. Installation requirements: Inlet and outlet fuel pipes are connected to rubber pipe and tightened by clip.
And the clip should match the rubber pipe to ensure that the inlet and outlet fuel pipe are tightly connected
with rubber pipe.
4. Trouble diagnosis: Usually there is a little chance for malfunction of fuel supply pipe. In most situations
the leakage in fuel system is caused by improper installation. Therefore, the old O ring for injector that has
been used can not be reused again when installing.

Section IV Steps for Trouble Diagnosis Based on Engine Symptom

Before the steps for trouble diagnosis based on engine symptom, carry out the following primary checks at
first:
1. Check the ECU and MIL for abnormal condition (for vehicles without MIL, skip this step);
2. To confirm no trouble information record found with a trouble diagnostic instrument or flasher;
3. Check the idle speed data after warm-up of the electronic control system with a trouble diagnostic
instrument for normal range;
4. Confirm the concern of the user and the actual location of the symptom.
Then, check the appearance:
1. Check the harness grounding for cleanness and tightness;
2. Check the vacuum pipe for break, twist and correct connection;
3. Check if the pipe is blocked; check if the inlet pipe is extruded or damaged;
4. Check the sealing between the throttle body and the intake manifold for damage;
5. Check the high voltage wire of the ignition system for break, aging and wrong connection;
6. Check the lead for correct connection and check the connector for looseness.
Key note: In case of the above-mentioned conditions, repair these troubles at first. Otherwise, the following
trouble diagnosis and maintenance will be affected.
Diagnosis help:
1. To confirm no trouble record found for the engine;
2. To confirm the concern of the user;
3. No abnormal condition is found after check following the above-mentioned steps;
4. During check and maintenance, do not ignore the impact on the system from the vehicle maintenance,
cylinder pressure, mechanical ignition timing, fuel condition, and so on.
5. Replace the ECU, and then carry out tests.
If the trouble is removed at this moment, the trouble is produced within the ECU. If the trouble can not be
removed at this moment, replace the original ECU, and repeat the steps.

Chapter VII Three Way Catalytic Reaction


System
Structure: Three way catalytic converter is similar to a muffler. Its outside is surrounded by a tube made
from double layer stainless thin steel plate with heat insulating material --- asbestos fibrofelt in the middle
of two layers. And accelerant purificant is installed in the netty clapboard inside it.
Purificant: Purificant is composed of carrier and accelerant. Carrier is made of Al203, with ball, polygon
and netty clapboard shapes. It is also called a catalyst for its actual catalytic action. This catalyst consists of
precious metals like rhodium, palladium and platinum.
Working principle of three way catalytic converter: When engine gas goes through exhaust pipe, CO, HC
and NOx contact the accelerant in the three way catalytic converter, which increases the activity of the 3
gases and leads to redox reaction. CO is oxidized to colorless and innoxious CO2. HC compound is
oxidized to H2O and CO2. NOx is recovered to N2 and O2. As a result, most of the 3 noxious gases are
converted to innocuous gas, and the exhaust gas is purified.
In order to maximize the purification function of three way catalytic converter and prevent malfunction
caused by early damage, pay attention to the following aspects when using the vehicle.
I. Vehicle with three way catalytic converter can not use leaded gasoline, and be especially careful when
fueling in unfamiliar regions. As after the leaded gasoline is burnt, lead granule will cover the catalyzer
surface when go through the three way catalytic converter with exhaust gas, which will decrease the
catalyzer working surface and greatly decrease the reaction efficiency of the converter. And this is the
usually called “three way catalytic converter lead poisoning”. Experience shows that only one tank of
leaded gasoline can also lead to serious malfunction of three way catalytic converter. Therefore, the drivers
must pay attention to this.
II. Avoid unburned gas mixture to enter the converter. Three way catalytic converter starts to work at about
200℃, and the best working temperature is 400℃-800℃. And the precious metals as catalyzers will also
react chemically if the temperature is over 1000℃, which will decrease the effective ingredients in the
converter and weaken the catalysis.
Through burning inside the converter, HC and CO is converted to H2O and CO2, which decreases the
amount of HC and CO as hazardous substance.This reaction will generate heat. And if the proportion of the
two ingredients is proper and the engine is under normal working condition, the heat generated when
burning will maintain a best working temperature for the converter. However, if the engine is under
abnormal working condition, the proportion of the two ingredients will far exceeds the normal value, and
the heat generated from burning may probably make the temperature of converter exceeds its maximum
working temperature, which will damage the catalyzer and then the converter. As a result, pay attention to
the following situations when using the vehicle: (1) idle speed rotation too long; (2) ignition time delay too
much; (3) some cylinders misfire and not work; (4) fuel injection normal but difficult to start; (5) gas
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
mixture too thick; (6) engine oil combustion in engine, etc.
III. Do not rub the ground when driving, because the catalyzer carrier inside the three way catalytic
converter is alveolate crockery which may easily break up and block the converter and exhaust system.
If the injector valve can not be closed well, fuel pressure regulator does not work (fuel pressure too high),
oxygen sensor does not work, air flow senor does not work, etc., they may be caused by too thick gas
mixture. If the gas mixture is too thick, black smoke may come out of the exhaust pipe, and oil
consumption may increase.
IV. Soot, tar and other materials in exhaust gas will block the active surface of catalyzer. Unburnt gas
mixture must to be avoided to enter the three way catalytic converter, because the gunge in unburnt gas
mixture will corrade the converter, and the large amount of hydrocarbon and CO will force too much
oxidation reaction in converter and generate too much heat to damage the converter.
V. Stop the vehicle to check when there is spontaneous combustion, severe surging, backfire, repeated
stallout or other abnormal phenomenon in the engine. Otherwise, the converter may be damaged
permanently.
VI. When the three way catalytic converter is stored, it can not be polluted by gasoline or lubricant.

Repair:
Check throttling of catalytic converter: Visually check the catalytic converter core with endoscope. And if
there is no endoscope, check if there is crack or dissolved matrix with flashlight.
Note:
(1) As the operation temperature of exhaust system is very high, do not work or maintain part around it
before it cool down. Be especially careful when operating around the catalytic converter, because the
temperature of converter will increase to the highest point in a short period after the engine is started.
(2) Original part (or equivalent part) should be used when replacing any part in exhaust system.
(3) Confirm the source of fault before replacing the catalytic converter, because most malfunctions of
converter are caused by gas, fuel or ignition problem.
(4) As the shapes of catalytic converter and exhaust assembly are similar, be careful when replacing a part.
For some regions (especially vehicles for regions with strict exhaust standards) and models, the converts
are quite different.

II. Introduction of suspension structure


The suspension fitting of sedan LF7132 is shown in Fig. 3-1. The McPherson independent suspension with
the stablizer bar (of traveller oscillating arm type) is applied in the front suspension, while the McPherson
independent suspension with vertical tension rod is adopted by the rear suspension, and the stablizer bar is
added to the rear suspension.
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
Fig. 3-1 Suspension fitting of LF7132
1. Front suspension
The front suspension is structured by the front oscillating arm, coil spring, shock damper and stablizer bar
as shown in Fig. 3-2.

The upper end of the telescopic shock damper 2 of the front suspension is mounted on the body through
rubber mount of the front suspension and its lower end is fixed on the steering knuckle which is connected
to the lateral oscillating arm by ball chain. For the suspension of this type, most of the side force
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
undertaken by the wheel is shared by the front oscillating arm through steering knuckle, while the left force
by the shock damper. Because the two ends of the stablizer bar are connected with the front oscillating arm,
the stabilizer works as the vertical track bar meantime.
(1) Front oscillating bar. The structure of front oscillating bar is shown in Fig. 4-3. The lateral oscillating
arm 3 made through forging and presenting shape of “I” boasts high degree of stiffness and strength. The
inner end of the front oscillating arm 3 hinges with carrying shaft of front oscillating arm 11 on the front
oscillating arm bracket 10 through the rubber bushing 4. Two sides of the rubber bushing are equipped with
gaskets 5 and 8, the end of which is tightened by nut 7. The carrying shaft of front oscillating arm 11 is
jointed with braket 10 which is fixed on the bottom of the body through bolts.
The position and structure of the connecting hole of lateral oscillating arm and stablizer bar are shown in
Fig. 3-4 (a) and the structure of ball pin in Fig. 3-4 (b). The ball pin 1 is mounted on the integral type ball
cup 3 whose position is limited by cover stem 4 and the rim of the ball cup 3 is turned over so as to rivet
tight the cover stem and make it an indecomposable integral structure. To improve the reliability of the
joint between ball pin and steering knuckle, the connecting bolt locks the ball pin through the ring groove at
the end of the ball pin. The ball pin is lubricated by grease and is equipped with dustproof cap 2 on the
lateral oscillating arm so as to prevent the entrance of filth.

(2) Stablizer bar. In order to lessen the lateral inclination and lateral angle vibration of the body when
turning in high-speed driving, LIFAN sedans are added with stablizer bar in suspension.
The fitting of front suspension’s stablizer bar is shown in Fig. 3-5. The flat “U” shape stablizer bar made of
spring steel is installed in the front bottom of the car laterally. Two ends of the middle of bar 1 bear in two
rubber buffer covers 9 freely, while the buffer cover 9 is fixed on sway bar bracket 2 and 3 through the
sway bar retaining clip 10 and left beam 4 by bolt 12 and the stablizer bar bracket is connected to the body
through bolt. Ends of stablizer bar’s two sides’ vertical parts joint each other through rubber ring 8 and
corresponding holes on lateral oscillating arm 5, terminals of which are tightened by retaining ring 7 and
nut 6.
(3) Coil spring and shock damper. The structure of coil spring and shock damper is shown in Fig. 4-6. The
shock damper is the bi-directional hydraulic barrel type, the upper end of which is mounted on the body
through front suspension mount assembly 14 and connected with the body by bolts. The lower end of the
shock damper is jointed with lower mount of the shock damper 15 and connected with the steering knuckle
through the lower mount.

15. Lower mount of shock damper

The front suspension mount 14 is integrated by rubber mount 2, rubber mount cap 1 and rubber mount
lining 11. The rubber mount 2 with larger volume can effectively mitigate the impact so as to improve the
comfort. The rubber mount lining 11 is installed on the cylinder rod 4 with its terminal fixed by nut 13.
Equipped with bolt, the rubber mount cap 1 is connected with the body through the bolt and is fixed.
The coil spring 5 is equipped on the shock damper, the upper and lower ends of which are mounted on the
spring upper seat 3 and spring lower seat 6 respectively.
The spring upper seat is on the cylinder rod, while the lower seat is jointed with the shock damper. In order
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
to ensure the convenience and agility of steering, the thrust bearing 10 lubricated with grease is installed
between front suspension mount 14 and spring upper seat 3. In order to prevent the entrance of dust from
upper part, the dustproof cap 12 is installed on the rubber mount lining.
When the coil spring is forced to be compressed and deformed, if the stae of deforming is excessive, the
cylinder rod will move downward longer than that of the shock damper cylinder so that the shock damper
will be damaged; therefore, the rubber buffer stopper 9 is installed on the bottom of spring upper seat to
lessen the impact and limit the position. Dustproof cap 9 and buffer stopper 9 are merged into a whole.
The axis line of McPherson suspension’s kingpin is the line between the centers of upper and lower hinges.
Because the lower mount of the shock damper sways with the lateral oscillating arm, the angle of the axis
line of its kingpin is changeable. Therefore, when this kind of suspension is deformed, the kingpin
orientation angle and the track will be altered to some extent. If the deployment of lever system is
appropriately designed, the orientation parameter of the wheel can be changed only a little. The outstanding
feature of this kind of suspension is that it can enlarge two front wheels’ inside flexible space so as to
facilitate the deployment of the engine and other parts; therefore, it is often applied to sedans.

2. Rear suspension
The rear suspension consists of lateral oscillating arm I of the rear suspension, lateral oscillating arm II of
the rear suspension, vertical tension rod, coil spring and shock damper with their structures shown as
follows:
(1) Lateral oscillating arm and vertical tension rod. The structure of the lateral oscillating arm and vertical
tension rod is shown as Fig. 3-8. The lateral oscillating arm of the rear suspension is made through the butt
weld to the armor plate with its cross section of box type. The outside of lateral oscillating arms I and II
hinges with bottom of the rear shaft head bracket 3 through bolt 8 and the rubber bush installed in
corresponding holes in the rear shaft head bracket. The inner end of the lateral oscillating arm, whose hole
is equipped with rubber bush, joints with the body through bolts.

The joint between inner end of oscillating arm II and the body is equipped with rear wheel toe-in adjusting
mechanism, which consists of adjusting cam for toe-in 5, toe-in adjusting plate 6 and bolt 7. Turning the
adjusting cam for toe-in can change the toe-in value of the rear wheel. The vertical tension rod 4 is made of
steel tube, which decreases the unsprung weight. The tension rod, whose front holes are installed with
rubber bushing and rear end is shaped to furcation, joints with the body through bolts, hinging with the rear
shaft head bracket through bolt 8 and the rubber bushing in corresponding holes of the rear shaft head
bracket 3.
Less longitudinal rigidity of rubber bushing at every joint between lateral oscillating arm of rear suspension
and the vertical tension bar may effectively ease the longitudinal impact from road surface; meanwhile,
larger lateral stiffness may change the wheel orientation angle less. There are grooves on the outer ring
surface of rubber bushes at two sides of the vertical tension bar, which can diminish the longitudinal
rigidity of the vertical tension bar so as to ease the vertical impact.
(2) Coil spring and shock damper. The structure of coil spring and shock damper of rear suspension is
shown as Fig. 3-9. The structure of shock damper of the rear suspension is the same as that of the front
suspension, with its supporting characters that the upper end of shock damper mounts on the body through
the rear suspension mount 1 and its lower end joints with the shock damper bracket and connects to the rear
shaft head bracket through a mount.
The structure of coil spring 5 is the same as that of the front suspension with its supporting feature of the
rubber pad 2 added between the coil spring and spring upper seat. The rear suspension mount 1, made of
rubber, is added back plate 10 during compression molding. Through this back plate, the rear suspension
mount connects with the upper end of cylinder rod of shock damper 9 with its end fixed by nut 11. The rear
suspension mount 1 is equipped between the body 12 and spring upper seat 3, connecting the spring upper
seat and the body with bolts.

its structure manifested in Fig. 3-10. The basic structure of the stablizer bar is the same as that of the front
suspension. Their key distinction lies in the connection of ends of the stablizer bar’s two sides and the
lateral oscillating arm. The stablizer bar 6, whose ends are shaped to be flat, is set on the stablizer bar
supporting rod 8, with its top and bottom installed with rubber pad 5 and gasket and nuts’ axial fastening.
Lower end of stablizer bar supporting rod 8 hinges with supporting rod mount 9 through bushes and bolts
with the supporting rod mount fixed by bolts on rear oscillating II 7.

The upper end of steering knuckle 12 is firmly linked with the lower mount of shock damper 14 through
bolts, with its lower part clamping button head pin 8 through bolts. The center hole in the steering knuckle
is fixed with two-row ball bearing 9 limited by the spring retaining ring 20. The wheel hub 7, whose end
part is fastened by taper spring gasket 2 and nut 6 with locking cover and cotter pin to prevent looseness, is
connected to the external spline on the stub shaft through the internal spline. What is featured is: that wheel
hub 7 whose neck is mounted on the inner race of the two-row ball bearing directly improves the stiffness
of the bearing. The bearing unifying seal rings 18 and 19 is the maintenance-free type. Therefore, the
bearing is endowed with outstanding tightness. Note: The larger opening of the taper spring gasket shall be
towards the wheel hub in installation.
(2) Front drive shaft assembly. The two ends of LIFAN sedans’ front drive shaft adopt constant velocity
joints whose functions are to directly deliver transmission’s torque to drive shaft and make the drive shaft
and wheel rotate at constant speed which will be convenient for working in large angles. The structure of
the front drive shaft is shown in Fig. 3-16, consisting of inner half shafts 23 and 25, stub shaft 24 and 26,
intermediate driving shaft 13 and 21, rzeppa universal joint 6 and tripod joints 17 and 22 (called trident
type as well). Installation: The inner half shafts 23 and 25 are connected to deferential half shaft gear, while
the stub shafts 24 and 26 to the wheel hub.

The configuration of the tripod universal joint is shown as Figure 3-17. The universal joint bushing 5 is
framed with the internal half shaft with three axial raceways processed inside.

8. Needle roller bearing 9. Dustproof cover 10. Tripod assembly

The tripod assembly 10 is connected to intermediate drive shaft 1 through spline with its end limited by
snap ring 3. Three shaft journals, with three ball type rollers 6 limited by the gasket and snap ring through
needle roller bearing 8, are processed on the tripod assembly. With the cooperation of the three rollers and
the three axial raceways in the universal joint bushing, the tripod assembly can not only conduct axial
movement relatively to the universal joint bushing to modify the length of the drive shaft, but also turn a
angle relatively to the axes of the universal joint bushing so as to transmit the force when there is a certain
angle between the internal half shaft and the intermediate drive shaft. This tripod universal joint with
simple structure saves the part of expansion bend, so the resistance is small, and the impact from the
ground to the body can be eased.
The configuration of the rzeppa universal joint is shown as Figure 3-18. The universal joint mainly consists
of internal ball seat, ball type housing, retainer and steel drive ball, etc. The internal ball seat 7 limited by
snap ring 9, with 6 grooves on the surface as the external raceway, is connected to the intermediate drive
shaft 1 through the internal spline. Six steel drive balls 6 are installed in every groove respectively with the
retainer 4 keeping them within the half facet. During the transmission, the drive force is delivered by the
intermediate drive shaft 1, internal ball seat 7, steel drive ball 6 and ball type housing 8 in turn. Both the
rzeppa universal joint and the tripod universal joint adopt the lubricant grease. The rzeppa universal joint
can deliver the drive force under maximum corner of 42 degree between 2 shafts, and in working, whatever
the drive force transmission direction, the six steel balls will participate in the transmission; this universal
joint with strong carrying capability, compact structure and easy dismantling process is widely used in the
steering drive axle. The relationship of the steering knuckle, front wheel hub, front drive shaft and relevant
parts of LIFAN sedans is shown in Figure 3-19.

II. Brief introduction on rear bearing


The rear bearing mainly consists of rear bearing head, rear bearing head bracket, and so on shown in Figure
3-20. For the processing convenience, the rear bearing head 14 and bearing head bracket 18 are
manufactured separately. The rear bearing head is connected to the corresponding holes on the bracket
through the shaft journal with coning, the end of which is fixed axially by the gasket and nut 15. The upper
end of the rear bearing head bracket 18 is linked firmly with the lower mount of the shock damper with
bolts; its lower end with the two lateral oscillating arms and vertical tension rod respectively as shown in
Figure 3-21. The wheel hub on the rear bearing is framed with the brake drum 1 and mounts on the shaft
journal of rear bearing head 14 through the two radial ball bearings 9 and 10, between the internal housing
washer of which, spacer bush 4 is installed, with ends fixed by gasket 5 and nut 6, and the nut locking cap 7
and cotter pin installed to prevent looseness. In order to prevent the entrance of dust and mud as well as
water into the bearing of rear bearing head, the dustproof cap 8 is installed on the rear bearing.

Section II Common Problems and Recovery of Axle, Wheel and Tire

I. Problems and recovery of drive shaft imbalance


Due to the friction among parts of the universal joint in the drive shaft assembly during operation, and the
movement of ball stud in the pin boss towards the axial direction, when the drive shaft is turning, the
centrifugal force will be generated because of the quality eccentricity caused by imbalance and the
vibration will be further raised. When the rotation speed of the drive shaft reaches a certain value, powerful
vibration or danger will be spurred. When the quality eccentricity hits a high value, the abnormal knocking
will be heard with its body vibrating during the vehicle starting.
If the problems above appear, the following checks shall be carried out:
(1) Check the damage and defect of the drive shaft assembly as well as its parts.
(2) Check whether the universal joint can move freely towards every direction along the axle without
looseness.
(3) Check whether the spline is loose in the turning direction and can slide in the axial direction.
(4) Whether the universal joint is lack of lubricant grease.
(5) Whether the universal joint mark is installed correctly.

II. Common problems and recovery of tire


Incorrect maintenance and adjustment to the vehicle as well as inappropriate utilization of the tire will
cause the abrasion of the tire. The problems can be analyzed based on the worn characteristics of the tire.
1. Main causes of tire utensil type abrasion (Fig. 3-22)

Utensil type abrasion

Fig. 3-22 Tire utensil type abrasion

Fig. 3-26 Tire center abrasion

5. The main cause of tire shoulders abrasion is the excessively low tire air pressure.
6. The main cause of tire center abrasion is the excessively high tire air pressure.
7. Main cause of tire jagged abrasion

Fig. 3-27 Tire transverse striation jagged abrasion


(1) Inappropriate wheel alignment parameter;
(2) Excessively large wheel hub bearing wear or clearance, looseness;
(3) Kingpin negative caster or right and left kingpin caster is unequal;
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
(4) Imbalanced wheel;
(5) Incorrect wheel deflection angle.
8. Main cause of tire wave type abrasion

Fig. 3-28 Tire wave type abrasion


(1) Unbalanced wheel
(2) Incorrect wheel alignment parameter
(3) Excessively large wheel hub bearing wear, clearance or looseness;
9. The imbalanced wheel is mainly caused by the tire dent wear.

Fig. 3-29 Tire dent wear

Section IV Application and Maintenance of Wheel

The model of tire of LF7132 sedan is 165/70R14, which belongs to tubeless transverse-cord tire.

I. Adjustment and maintenance of tire


(1) Inspection and tightening to the wheel fixing bolt. After every 20,000km, check the looseness of wheel
fixing bolt or nut firming the wheel hub assembly; if any, tighten the bolt or nut with tightening torque of
88.2N·m~117.6/N·m.
(2) Inspection to car wheel hub bearing. After every 40,000km, check the abnormal noise of front and rear
wheel hub bearings; if necessary, change the bearing lubricant grease; if any excessive abrasion and
looseness, change the bearing. The end clearance between the front and rear wheel bearing is regulated as
no more than 0.2mm.
(3) Inspection to wheel air pressure. The wheel air pressure will affect the car’s performance and longevity,
especially to the radial ply tire. Therefore, the wheel air pressure shall be checked usually and adjusted if
necessary, with barometer or estimation by eyes, as shown in Fig. 3-44.

Figure 3-44 Inspection to tire pressure


A. Normal tire pressure B. High tire pressure C. Insufficient tire pressure

Pay attention to following items when check tire air pressure:


① Check the tire air pressure in cold conditions;
② Usually check the spare wheel and its air pressure to make it available at any time;
③ Avoid insolating the tire for a long time;
④ Wipe off the dirt and stone nipped by the tire plies.
(4) Transposition of tire. After every 10,000km, the tire of the car shall be changed; otherwise, the uneven
abrasion will be caused due to long-term work.
(5) Avoid mixed application of the tire. The four tyres shall be produced by the same factory with the same
specification, and the tyres with different specifications are forbidden. Otherwise, the tire abrasion will be
intensified, fuel consumption increased and the car’s operation stability damaged.
(6) Depth of tire plies. After every 10,000km, the depth of tire plies shall be checked. If the safe driving
make can be seen due to the tire abrasion, try to renew the tire (when the depth of the tire plies is only
1.6mm); otherwise, skidding will be caused because of the shallow plies.
(7) Check the wheel tread. After every 10,000km, check the crack and damage of the tire. Don’t use the
tyres with large crack; otherwise, the tire will blow up, which is dangerous to high-speed driving cars.
(8) Breaking in of the new tire. The new tire shall not undertake the maximum traction load, because the
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
new tire is prone to skid. At the first 160km, the tire shall be broken in with appropriate speed.
(9) The vehicle has passed the dynamic balancing test before released from the factory. If the vehicle is not
balanced, it has been added the wheel equalizer at the edge of the wheel hub. Therefore, the wheel
equalizer shall not be dismantled. If the equalizer falls and the original position is unknown, the dynamic
balancing test shall be carried out again.

II. Tire transposition


The loads of front and rear axles are different, and the loads of front and rear axles as well as the left and
right tyres will change during the upgrading, downgrading, swerving, braking and speeding; when driving
on the arch pattern road surface, the loads of the left and right tyres are different as well. Therefore, the
abrasion of each tire is not identical, so the tire shall be changed after a certain mileage to balance the
abrasion state of all tyres and prolong the longevity of the tyres.
Notes in tire transposition: the tire at the same axle shall be with the same type and plies; the face-lifting
tire shall no be applied in the steering wheel. After every 10,000km, transposition shall be carried out on
the tire of LIFAN sedan shown as Fig. 3-45:

Fig. 3-45 Tire transposition

Front left wheel-rear left wheel-front right wheel-rear right wheel-front left wheel

III. Tire application and maintenance


1. Tire air pressure
Both the excessively high or low air pressure will intensify the tire abrasion. The standard tire air pressure
of LIFAN sedan is 220kPa.
2. Measures to improve longevity of tire
The tire consumption will cover 10% to 20% of the transport cost; therefore, it is very important to apply
and maintain the tire correctly as well as prolong its longevity.
Pay attention to following items to improve the tire application longevity:
(1) Correctly choose the specification and plies of the tire, and carry out tire transposition regularly.
(2) Carefully realize the tire air pressure standard, which shall be neither excessively high nor low.
(3) Strictly control the tire load. The tire longevity will shorten 30% with operation at 20% overloading.
(4) Usually check the location parameter of each wheel and keep the steering, driving brake system
technique in good shape.
(5) The wheel shall be balanced with correct installation.
(6) Carefully drive to prevent accidental damage.
(7) Keep the tire well and avoid exposing to the sun and rain or petroleum products, etc.

Fig. 3-49 Steering lateral rod and joint


1- Lateral rod joint 2- Adjusting nut 3- Steering lateral rod

(8) Check whether the sideslip value accords with the regulated value of -3mm/m~3mm/m or not with
sideslip measuring apparatus.

III. Inspection and adjustment to rear wheel toe-in


(1) Check the rear wheel toe-in. The steps and method of checking the rear wheel toe-in is the same as
those of the front wheel toe-in, with regulated rear wheel toe-in value of 4mm~8m.
(2) Adjust the rear wheel toe-in:
① Unscrew the fixing bolt of toe-in adjusting cam on the rear suspension oscillating arm II (Fig. 3-50)

Fig. 3-50 Fixing bolt of adjusting cam

② Insert the hexagon wrench into the hexagon hole on the back of the adjusting cam (Fig. 3-51) and turn
the hexagon wrench. When the left and right adjusting cam is turning, the rear wheel toe-in value will
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
change about 5mm, with identical angular turning of the left and right adjusting cams. When the adjusting
cam turns in clockwise direction, the rear wheel toe-in will increase; in counter-clockwise direction,
decrease.

Fig. 3-51 Adjusting rear wheel toe-in


③ After the completion of adjustment, screw the fixing bolt of the adjusting cam.
(3) Check whether the sideslip value accords with the regulated value of 1mm/m~7mm/m or not, with
sideslip measuring apparatus.

Chapter III Steering System


The steering system is applied to change or maintain vehicle’s travel direction, the function of which is: to
make the vehicle change its travel direction in time according to driver’s operation requirement in driving,
and maintain the vehicle’s stable driving together with the drive system when the vehicle accidentally
deviates outside the travel direction due to the occasional impact from the road. The steering system is one
of the important systems to guarantee the vehicle’s safe travel; therefore, the timely inspection and
maintenance to it will be effective to ensure the safe travel and decrease the traffic accident. LF320 sedan
adopts the pinion-and-rack steering system with hydraulic booster (the basic model without hydraulic
booster). The position of steering wheel can not be changed. The steering axle can carry out the protection
function of impact energy-absorbing. The steering wheel is equipped with the air bag (the basic model
without air bag).

II. Configuration of steering system


1. Steering system assembly
The steering system of LIFAN sedan mainly consists of steering wheel, steering gear, power steering pump,
oil tank, hydraulic power cylinder, steering control valve and steering gear machine. The configuration of
relevant parts in steering system is shown as figure (3-52).

Fig. 3-52 Steering system configuration


1. Steering wheel 2. Steering gear 3. Steering drive axle 4. Power steering pump
5. Oil tank 6. Hydraulic power cylinder 7. Steering control valve

This power steering system consists of manual steering system and hydraulic power steering booster. Its
hydraulic power cylinder is fixed on the housing of steering gear, and the piston control lever of the
hydraulic power cylinder hinges on the steering rack, by which, the steering power is output.

The LIFAN sedan power steering system adopts the rotary type steering control valve with compact
structure as the control device, vane type power steering pump as the power source, piston control lever of
the hydraulic power cylinder and rack as the power delivery mechanism. When the vehicle needs steering,
the engine drives the power steering pump through the transmission belt and generates the hydraulic power.
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
The flow of the steering fluid and pressure is adjusted by the adjuster in the pump. The hydraulic pressure
is delivered to the rotary type steering control valve of the steering gear mechanism by the steering pump.
The steering control valve will adjust the hydraulic pressure according to the turning state of the steering
wheel and change the flowing direction of the steering fluid, guide the pressure oil fluid into the hydraulic
power cylinder, boost the piston control lever and rack to do beeline movement to help the swerving wheel
to turn and realize the power steering so as to deliver the filtrated steering fluid in the fluid reservoir
returing from the low pressure side of the power cylinder to the steering pump to circulate.

2. Power steering assembly


The power steering assembly mainly consists of the steering control valve, hydraulic power cylinder,
steering tie rod, and so on, as shown in (Fig. 3-53).

The steering gear tube is fixed with bolts on the bottom of front dash panel and dash board in cab through
the lower flange and upper fixing panel.
The steering axle consists of axle and bushing connected by colophony pin. When the vehicle crash
happens, the excessively large impact can snip the colophony pin so that the steering axle and bushing can
move relatively so as to protect the driver from the stab of the steering axle. Considering the overall vehicle
disposal and safety as well as the malfunction of the steering gear due to the vehicle body transformation,
the steering drive axle is adopted between the steering axle and steering gear.
The round vehicle steering wheel is the two radial type wheel made of colophony materials

Section II Check and Repair and Fault Diagnosis of Steering System

I. Inspection and adjustment of steering system


The power steering system is a complex hydraulic system; therefore, the regular inspection and adjustment
are important to ensure its safe and stable operation as well as prolong its longevity. The fact indicates that
most of the faults of the power steering system are caused by inspection and maintenance failure. Therefore,
in order to decrease the malfunction of the power steering system, the regular inspection and maintenance
to the power steering system are necessary.
1. Check oil of the oil reservoir
(1) Parking the vehicle on the level road surface.
(2) Turn the steering wheel several times during the vehicle’s idle speed to make the steering fluid
temperature up to about 80℃.
(3) Check whether the steering fluid has generated fluid or emulsification; if so, it indicates that the air has
come into the steering fluid, so the exhaust operation shall be carried out.
(4) Check the quality of the steering fluid. If the quality of steering fluid has changed or its duration of
service is mature, the fluid shall be changed.
(5) Check the oil height in the oil reservoir to make sure the oil height is between the upper and lower
limits of the oil reservoir. When the fluid does not change its quality and no air comes into the fluid but the
fluid surface is lower than the fluid lower limit, the leakage has possibly happened. The inspection and
maintenance to the leaking part shall be carried out and the oil recommended shall be used according to the
necessity and keep the oil level near the upper limit. The oil type applied by this steering system is ESSO
ATED.
2. Exhaust the air in the power steering hydraulic system
When the air intermingles the steering hydraulic system, the instable operation of the vehicle steering will
be caused due to the condensability of the air, which will affect the steering safety.
Main causes of the air leakage to the hydraulic system are: unfirm connection or damage of the oil pipe
joint; without implementing exhaust operation or thorough exhaust after the oil pipe breaking or
re-connecting the oil pipe; without carrying out thorough exhaust during the steering fluid exchange;
excessively low oil level in the oil reservoir, etc. In order to guarantee the power-saving steering and stable
safe operation, timely exhaust to the air in the steering hydraulic system shall be executed. Before the
exhaust to the power steering system, first check the oil level in the oil reservoir, and add the hydraulic oil
according to necessity. After the fluid level is appropriate, carry out the exhaust in accordance with the
following method:
(1) Lift the front part of the sedan with jack or lifting jack and fix it with bracket.
(2) Turn the steering wheel from the left utmost position to the right utmost position three to five times.
(3) Start the engine and make it operate at idle speed and repeat the process of turning steering wheel above
three to five times.
(4) Let the front part of the sedan down. Turn the steering wheel five to eight times with the engine at the
idle speed to raise the oil temperature and place the steering wheel at the central position and check the oil
level in the oil reservoir.
(5) Turn down the ignition switch to stop the engine. Three to five minutes after its stop, check the oil level
in the oil reservoir and compare the result with that of the step (4). If the comparing difference is zero or
less than 5.0mm and there is no air bubble or emulsification in the oil fluid, the air in the system has been
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
completely exhausted. Otherwise, repeat the step (4) and (5) until the air is completely exhausted.
(6) Check the oil level, fill the oil reservoir with oil fluid to the regulated oil level according to necessity.
3. Replace power steering fluid
When the power steering device has problems and needs taking apart as well as inspecting, the power
steering fluid shall be replaced; if the oil fluid deterioration is detected, the oil shall be replaced in time as
well. The replacing steps are as follows:
(1) Lift the front part of the sedan with jack or lifting jack, and support the sedan firmly.
(2) Remove the oil return hose of the oil reservoir, and discharge the worn oil into a proper container from
the oil reservoir and oil return hose. Don’t splash the worn oil on the vehicle body or parts to avoil the
vehicle paint damage. If there is any splash, please wipe it immediately:
(3) Make the engine work at the idle speed. When discharge the oil, successively turn the steering wheel to
the left and right utmost position until the oil is completely discharged, and then stop the engine.
(4) Re-install the oil return hose to the oil reservoir.
(5) Fill the oil reservoir with specified hydraulic oil to the upper oil level limit; the capability of the system
is 1.0L; the capability of the oil reservoir is 0.3L.
(6) Start the engine and let it operate at the idle speed; turn the steering wheel from the left utmost position
to the right utmost position several times so as to exhaust the air in the steering hydraulic system.
(7) Re-check the oil level. Add the specified hydraulic oil if necessary to the upper limit of the oil reservoir.
4. Check and adjust tension of the power steering pump transmission belt
The driving force of the steering pump springs from the engine and is delived by the transmission belt. If
the transmission belt is too loose, it will be easy to skid, which will cause the decrease of the hydraulic
pump oil supply amount, and the low oil pressure in the steering system will cause the heavy steering; if the
transmission belt is too tight, the force imposed on the hydraulic pump axle and bearing will be increase
and the part abrasion will be intensified; the service longevity of the parts and transmission belt will be
shortened and the power consumption of the engine will be raised. Therefore, the tension of the power
steering pump transmission belt shall be adjusted. However, the adjustment is different for the new and old
transmission belt. For the new transmission belt, adjust it according to the new belt deflection standard;
after the engine works for 5min, adjust the deflection to the standard value for the old transmission belt.
(1) Inspection
1) Inspection method for transmission belt deflection. Impose the force of 100N to the middle of power
steering pump transmission belt. Measure the deflection of the transmission belt to check whether
deflection value accords with the standard or not; if not, adjust it.
Standard deflection of old transmission belt: 13mm~14mm;
Standard deflection of new transmission belt: 9mm~10mm.
2) Inspection method for transmission belt operation: Park the vehicle on the dry road surface; start the
engine to make the oil temperature up to normal value; turn the steering wheel right and left; when the
steering wheel turns to the utmost position, the output oil pressure of the power steering pump is at the
maximum; at this time, the load of the transmission belt is at the maximum as well; if the transmission belt
skids, it indicates that the tension of the transmission belt is insufficient or there are machinery damages in
the hydraulic pump.
(2) Adjustment
1) Loosen fixing bolt of the tension wheel.
2) Press the tension wheel tightly and make the transmission belt tighten; meanwhile, screw tightly the
fixing bolt.
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
3) Start the engine; turn the steering wheel between the left and right utmost positins several times
successively and stop the engine.
4) Re-check the transmission belt deflection. If the tension of the transmission belt does not accord with the
standard, re-adjust it to conform to the requirement.
5. Inspect output pressure of the power steering pump
The purpose of checking the output pressure of the power steering pump is to inspect whether there are any
faults in power steering pump or steering gear mechanism. In order to measure the output pressure of the
power steering pump correctly, the oil level in the oil reservoir and the tension of the power steering pump
transmission pump shall accord with the standard.
Inspect the output pressure of the power steering pump with pressure gauge. Dismantle the pressure pipe
from the power steering pump when the engine stops; connect the measuring end of the pressure gauge to
the draining connector of the pump and the other end of the hand valve to the input end of the steering
control valve, by which, the pressure gauge and the hand valve will be in series connection to the pressure
pipe of the power steering pump and the steering control valve.
Inspection steps to output pressure of the power steering pump are as follows:
(1) Completely start the hand valve.
(2) Start the engine and make it work at the idle speed.
(3) Turn the steering wheel between the left and right utmost positions several times in succession to raise
the oil temperature up to 80℃ and guarantee the normal oil level.
(4) Measure the static oil pressure at the engine’s speed of 800r/min; if the power stering pump operates
well, the reading on the pressure gauge shall be 300kPa at least (minimum pressure when no steering).
(5) Gradually turn off the hand valve until the hand of the pressure gauge stands still and read the pressure
value. At this time, the output standard pressure of the power steering pump shall be 6.2-6.9MPa at least
(the maximum wheel steering resistance).
(6) Rapidly turn on the hand valve completely; note that the closing period of the hand valve shall not
exceed 5s every time, or the steering pump will be too hot to be damaged easily.
The oil pressure measured during the complete close of the hand valve can reflect the working state of the
power steering pump. If the power steering pump works well, the reading on the pressure gauge shall be
6.2MPa~6.9MPa at least. If the reading on the pressure gauge is too low, it indicates that the output
pressure of the steering pump is excessively low and the steering can not be completed well, which shows
that the power steering pump has problems and the power steering pump shall be repaired or replaced.
6. Check the steering operating force
When check the operating force at the beginning of the wheel turning, park the vehicle on the clean dry
level road surface, inflate the tire to normal air pressure, and make the oil level in the oil reservoir and the
tension of the steering pump transmission belt accord with the standard value with the inspection process as
follows:
(1) Start the engine; make it at the idle speed; and turn the steering wheel between the left and right utmost
positions several times in succession so as to raise the steering oil fluid temperature.
(2) Make the front wheel at the beeline driving position.
(3) Hang the spring dynamometer on the edge of steering wheel.
(4) Start the engine; make it at the idle speed; pull the spring dynamometer; once the steering tire begins to
turn, record the reading on the spring dynamometer.
(5) The reading of the spring dynamometer shall be less than 40N; if the reading is too high, it indicates
that the steering wheel operating force needed at the beginning of the wheel turning is too large, and the
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
power steering does not work well so the power steering pump and steering gear shall be checked; if the
power steering pump is normal but the steering operating force is too large, the steering control valve,
power hydraulic cylinder and steering gear shall be checked.
7. Inspection to exterior oil leakage of power steerng hydraulic system
The exterior oil leakage of the power steering hydraulic system is mainly caused by the damage or failure
of the oil seal and ring seal, crack of the housing or the metal piece, oil pipe leakage or loose oil pipe
connector, etc. The parts involving leakage possibly include the oil pipe, power steering pump, steering
control valve, power hydraulic cylinder, oil reservoir, etc., which can be repaired through changing the oil
seal and damaged parts or screwing the connector.
Common leakage parts in the hydraulic power steering system include: the pump oil seal leakage, pump
housing and pump bonnet end leakage, oil seal leakage of the steering control valve housing top, power
hydraulic cylinder leakage, and leakage at every oil pipe connector of the power steering pump and steering
control valve as well as the power hydraulic cylinder. Therefore, the highlighted inspection to leakage shall
be carried out on parts above.
When inspect the leakage, start the engine first, and then turn the steering wheel to the right and left utmost
positions several times (staying at the utmost position for less than 5s) to make the steering pump output
the maximum pressure so as to make the whole power hydraulic pipe system generate the maximum
pressure; at that moment, check the leakage at such common leaking points as the joint of the steering
pump pipe, the power steering pump, the steering control valve, and the power hydraulic cylinder.
Specific inspection process is as follows:
(1) Lift the vehicle; support it safely and wipe the oil leaking parts.
(2) Check whether the oil in the oil reservoir is surplus; if so, discharge the surplus oil.
(3) Check and tighten the joint of the steering pump, steering control valve and oil pipe on the power
hydraulic cylinder.
(4) Start the engine; repeatedly turn the steering wheel to find out the leaking part. Once the leaking part is
detected, stop the engine; check and eliminate the faults.
8. Inspection and adjustment after the re-assembly of the power steering gear
After the re-assembly of the power steering gear, the inspection shall be carried out as well as the
adjustment if necessary so as to ensure the steering performance.
(1) Sealing performance inspection. The sealing performance inspection after the installtion of the power
steering gear assembly must be carried out on operating vehicle. Therefore, first start the engine and make
it work at the idle speed; turn the steering wheel between the left and right utmost positions several times to
raise the oil temperature of the power steering oil; and turn the steering wheel to the left and right utmost
positions for several seconds (less than 5s) to make the pressure pipe generate the maximum pressure.
Check the power pipe and every oil pipe joint, valve devices and power hydraulic cylinder handspike of the
power steering system. If the the leakage appears, the cause must be found out and eliminate the faults.
(2) Steering performance inspection. Start the engine. Make the engine work at the idle speed and turn the
steering wheel right and left. The steering gear assembly shall perform well in its working range with easy
operation, smooth turning of the steering wheel, low noise and no vibration. At this time, the power
steering pump is required to work normally.
(3) Check and adjust the toe-in of the front wheel to get it right;
(4) Check whether the steering wheel is in the center or not when the steering tire is at the beeline driving
position; if necessary, adjust it through turning the left and right lateral rod with equal extent.
II. Diagnosis to steering system faults
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
The common faults of the hydraulic power steering system include the oil leakage of the hydraulic
transmission part, air in-leakage, failure of the power steering pump, steering control valve damage and the
machinery transmission mechanism damage, etc. with diversified expression, such as the heavy steering,
steering noise, steering difficulty and steering vibration, etc. When the power steering system has problems,
the fault diagnosis shall be executed immediate so as to eliminate the faults in time.
1. Fault diagnosis to steering wheel returing problems
(1) Faults. After the vehicle’s steering, the steering wheel can not return to the central driving position
(beeline driving position), and needs the driver’s operation to return.
(2) Causes
1) The air has leaked into the hydraulic circuit.
2) The circuit pipe has been deformed and blocked.
3) The steering control valve or power hydraulic cylinder has been blocked.
4) The steering control valve cannot locate the center.
5) Inappropriate adjustment to rack top or deformed rack.
6) Excessively tightened joint of the steering transmission mechanism.
(3) Fault diagnosis and elimination
1) Exhaust the air in the hydraulic system and fill enough steering oil fluid after the exhaust according to
the regulation.
2) Check whether the power hydraulic cylinder pipe and circuit pipe are deformed and blocked; if so,
replace them.
3) Check the turning of the rack and pinion mechanism at the returned position of the wheel and other
positions of the wheel; if the turning torque is too large, check the deflection of the rack and adjustment of
the rack; adjust the rack top tightening force or replace the rack and pinion mechanism if necessary.
4) Check whether the steering control valve is blocked and cannot return well; replace the steering control
valve if necessary.
5) Take apart and check the power hydraulic cylinder; replace the damaged parts.
6) Adjust the button head pin of every joint of the steering transmission mechanism to guarantee it work
well.
2. Fault diagnosis to heavy steering
(1) Fault: the steering wheel is difficult to steer in driving.
(2) Causes: Usually, the heavy steering is due to the inefficiency of the hydraulic steering power assited
system or insufficient power, damaged machinery transmission mechanism or inappropriate adjustment
with the main causes as follows:
1) The oil reservoir is lack of oil or the oil level is lower than the specific requirement.
2) The sealing performance of every oil pipe joint is inefficient and leakage happens.
3) The air leaks in the steering hydraulic circuit.
4) The oil pipe is deformed and the oil route is blocked.
5) The tension of power steering transmission belt is insufficient and the transmission belt skids.
6) Inside of the steering pump is worn and leaked heavily, which makes the steering pump output pressure
not reach the standard.
7) The interior pressure adjustor of the steering pump is inefficient, which causes the excessively low
output pressure.
8) Leakage of the steering control valve, and inside of the power hydraulic cylinder.
9) The steering gear mechanism is damaged or adjusted inappropriately.
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
(3) Fault diagnosis and elimination
1) Check whether the tire air pressue is normal or not and inflate the tire according to the regulation.
2) Check whether every oil pipe joint of the steering hydraulic system leaks or not, and whether the oil pipe
is damaged, deformed or cracked. Once the fault of the oil pipe is detected, the pipe shall be changed; if the
leadkage is at the oil pipe joint, screw it and replace the oil pipe if necessay.
3) Check the oil quality and level in the oil reservoir. If the oil quality has been alterative, the oil shall be
replaced with the specified oil; if the oil level is lower than the regulated height, the causes shall be found
out; refill the reservoir with oil to the designated oil level.
4) Check whether the oil circuit is invaded by air. If air bubble is detected in the oil of the oil reservoir, it
indicates that the air has invaded into the oil circuit; in this condition, inspect the causes of the air
in-leakage, and check the oil pipe joint looseness, oil pipe crack, seal component damage, low oil level in
oil reservoir, etc. and eliminate the problems; then carry out exhaust operation to the oil pressure system
and finally fill the reservoir with steering oil fluid to the designated level.
5) Check whether the transmission belt of the steering pump skids or is damaged. If these problems are
detected, adjust the tension of the transmission belt according to the regulation or apply a new belt.
6) Check the performance of the power steering pump, pressure adjustor and the power hydraulic cylinder.
Before the inspection, connect the pressure gauge conforming to the specified oil pressure and the hand
valve to the position between the power steering pump pressure outlet and the steering control valve
pressure input oil pipe. During inspection, turn on the hand valve completely; turn the steering wheel to the
left or right utmost position; start the engine and make it work at the idle speed; measure the output oil
pressure of the steering pump. At this time, if the oil pressure cannot reach the regulated pressure:
6.2MPa~6.9MPa and the oil pressure cannot be raised when the hand valve is gradually closed, it indicates
that the steering pump or the pressure adjustor has problems; if the oil pressure cannot reach the regulated
value, but it can be raised when the hand valve is gradually closed and the oil pressure can reach the
regulated value, it indicates that the steering pump performs well and the problems should be in the steering
control valve or power hydraulic cylinder; if the pressure cannot reach the regulated value when the hand
valve is completely turned on, the problems should be in the steering transmission mechanism.
If the power steering pump, pressure adjustor and the power hydraulic cylinder have problems, they shall
be repaired or replaced; if the steering control valve has faults, it shall be changed.
7) Check the steering transmission mechanism: Turn the steering wheel to check whether the parts related
to the steering gear axle are sensitive or not; check whether the steering universal joint, and ball joint of
every transmission rod are excessively tightened; if the problems are detected, the parts shall be adjusted or
replaced; check the steering rack and pinion mechanism; adjust the tension force of the rack top to make
the side clearance bwteen the rack and pinion appropriate, guarantee the free movement of the rack and
replace the crooked rack.
3. Fault diagnosis to the steering wheel vibration during steering
(1) Faults. When the engine works, if the steering wheel is turned, the steering wheel will vibrate,
especially when the steering wheel is turned to the utmost position.
(2) Causes
1) The steering pump transmission belt skids.
2) Excessively low oil reservoir.
3) The air invades into the oil circuit of the steering hydraulic system.
4) Insufficient steering pump output pressure.
5) The piston of the pressure adjustor within the steering pump is sluggished.
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
(3) Fault diagnosis and elimination
1) Check whether the steering pump transmission belt skids or the transmission belt is damaged or not.
Adjust the tension of the transmission belt if necessary or replace the inefficient transmission belt.
2) Check whether the oil level of the oil reservoir accords with the regulation or not; fill with reservoir with
oil if necessary.
3) Check all pipe joints of the steering hydraulic system; eliminate the fault of steering oil fluid leakage and
exhaust the air in the oil circuit.
4) Check the steering pump output pressure. Separate the steering pump if the pressure is insufficient:
check whether the steering pump is worn or the inside leakage is serious; the pressure limiting valve or the
pressure adjustor piston leaks seriously or is blocked; and the seal components of the steering pump are
damaged. Clear the faults and repair them; replace the steering pump if necessary.
4. Fault diagnosis to instable or deviated steering wheel during straight-line driving
(1) Faults. When the vehicle is driving on a straight line, it is difficult to drive right ahead and the vehicle
always deviates.
(2) Causes
1) The torsion bar of the steering control valve is damaged or too weak so that the steering gear
contradictory transmission resistance can not be overcome and the valve cover cannot return in time.
2) The valve core and the movement of the valve cover are retarded due to the oil dirt.
3) The valve core of the steering control valve deviates the center, or although it is in the central position,
but it does not conform to the gap of the groove shoulder of the valve cover.
4) The pressure adjusting piston of the steering pump adjustor is blocked, which makes the flow of the
pump oil too large and the gap between the left and right cavities in the dynamic cylinder too big.
5) The gap between the steering transmission mechanism joints is too large or the connecting parts are
loose or overworn.
(3) Fault diagnosis and elimination
1) First, check whether the connecting parts of the steering transmission mechanism are loose or not;
whether the gap between every parts are too large or not; whether the transmission is too loose or not; and
eliminate the faults of the steering transmission mechanism.
2) Check whether the oil fluid is dirty or not. The new vehicle or the vehicle through check and repair
which has not carefully implemented the oil replacement regulation in the break-in maintenance period
tends to contaminate the oil fluid.
3) Check the steering control valve. First, turn the steering wheel in the condition that the engine does not
be started and judge whether the steering control valve can move freely with hand; if any doubt, remove
and check it.
4) Finally, check whether the steering pump pressure adjustor performs normally; check whether the
pressure adjusting piston of the adjustor is retarded or not; check the steering pump output pressure to judge
the faults if necessary.
5. Fault diagnosis to steering noise
(1) Faults. Great noise can be heard during steering.
(2) Causes. When the vehicle is steering, noise can be heard in the steering system normally as well as at
the first 2min~3min in the steering pump in winter after the engine is started, but if the noise is too great
or it has affected the steering performance of the vehicle, the noise is regarded as the fault with its main
causes as follows:
1) The great steering noise is due to the loose steering transmission mechanism.
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
2) The great steering noise may be due to the damaged or overworn power steering pump or the oil mixed
with air.
3) The great steering noise may be due to the loose power steering pump transmission belt or skidding
transmission belt.
4) The steering control valve does not perform well.
5) The loose oil pipe joint or cracked oil pipe.
6) The filter sieve of the oil filter is blocked, or there are excessive deposits in the hydraulic circuit.
(3) Fault diagnosis and elimination
1) If the clickety-clack can be heard during the steering, it is possibly due to the loose steering gear axle
joint, lateral rod or ball type joint. The parts above shall be checked; tighten or replace the damaged parts if
necessary; if the steering gear axle sways heavily, the steering gear assembly shall be changed; if the
steering gear installed is too loose, it shall be tightened; lubricate the lubricant parts at the connecting part.
In addition, the looseness of the steering pump belt pulley will cause the clickety-clack as well; therefore,
check whether the steering pump belt pulley is loose or not; tighten it or change it if necessary to eliminate
the noise.
2) If the clickety-clack can be heard during the steering and the noise is raised when the steering wheel is
turned from one utmost position to the other one, the fault may be caused by the skidding of the power
steering pump transmission belt. At this time, the tension of the transmission belt and its abrasion shall be
inspected; tighten or replace the transmission belt if necessary.
3) If the clickety-clack can be heard from the steering pump during the steering, it indicates that there are
air bubbles in the oil fluid so that when the oil flows, the air powered noise is generated. At this time, first
check the oil level; if the oil level is too low, fill the oil reservoir with oil to the correct position and check,
eliminate the leakage. Then check whether the hose is damaged or the clip is loose which causes the air into
the system; replace the damaged hose or clip if necessary. If the air in-leakage to the power steering system
has been confirmed, the air shall be exhausted from the power steering system so as to eliminate the noise.
If the hiss or screech is heard from the steering pump and there is no air leakage in the hydraulic system
and the tension of the transmission belt is normal, it indicates that the oil circuit is blocked or the steering
pump is overworn and damaged; therefore it shall be repaired or replaced.
4) If the hiss is heard from the steering gear when the steering wheel at the utmost position or the original
place is turned, the abnormal sound may be caused by the malfunction of the steering control valve;
therefore, replace the control valve and carry out the comparing inspection to eliminate the faults.

Fig. 3-56 Driving brake system

I. Driving break system


The driving break system is composed of brake pedal, vacuum booster, brake pump, brake, ABS system
(optional) and brake pipeline. It serves to decrease speed steadily during driving, and achieve steady brake
in emergency.

1. Brake
(1) The structure and the installation disposal of the front wheel brake are shown in Figure 3-57. The front
wheel brake is the floating pliers disc brake. Clearance self-adjusting device and brake pad wear limit
warning device are installed in the brake.

When braking, the brake fluid is pressed into the brake caliper oil tank. The piston is moved to the brake
disc under hydraulic pressure to make the brake pad pressed on the brake disc through the silent pad. At the
same time, the brake caliper is axially floating under the hydraulic pressure and press the outside brake pad
on the brake disc to actualize brake.
Brake pad wear limit warning device has been installed on brake pad of the disc brake for LIFAN sedan,
with structure shown in Fig. 3-58.

Fig. 3-58 Brake pad and warning pad


When the wear of the brake lining pad is less than 1.5mm, the warning spring piece will contact with the
brake disc and utter metallic sound, indicating the brake pad of this side is at wear limit and brake pad
should be replaced. A bleed screw is set on the body of the brake caliper; if air exists in the brake fluid
system, release the air through the bleed screw.
(2) The rear brake is the leading trailing shoe drum brake with clearance self-adjusting mechanism. The

Step on the brake pad, and the brake shoe will splay with the influence of the brake wheel cylinder. The
push plate will be pulled to the side of the driven shoe by the spring. Adjusting rod will be pulled to the side
of drive shoe by pawl engagement power. When the clearance of the shoe is normal, the total left and right
movement will be not more than the clearance between the push plate and the adjusting rod. The
engagement location between adjusting rod and the pawl remains unchanged, and the shoe clearance
remains the same too.
When the shoe clearance is too big and the push plate is moved to the side of the driven shoe by the spring,
the clearance between the push plate and adjusting rod is disappeared, and the adjusting rod will be pulled
to the side of the driven shoe. The engagement between the adjusting rod and the pawl will be off and
engaged in a new place, because the drive shoe pulled the pawl; then the brake shoe will return to the
original normal place. At the same time the place of the new engagement will keep the same, which makes
the shoe clearance in normal condition.
2. Vacuum booster and master brake cylinder

The master brake cylinder is made up of cylinder body, piston, spring, spring seat, oil seal and filter, and
connected with power-assistant front end with two bolts. There is a brake store fluid can on the master
cylinder, and two working cavities are connected in the master cylinder. When stepping on the brake pedal,
the push rod will move to the left to make the seal ring plug up the front oil hole, which produces fluid
pressure in the front cavity; then it will push the piston to the left to plug up the rear oil hole, which
produces fluid pressure in the rear cavity, and connects to the front and rear brake trough brake pipe and
brake hose.

3. Brake pipeline and proportional valve

pressure is 4547.2 kPa; when pedal force is 147N, the output hydraulic pressure is 4588.0 kPa; when pedal
force is 196N, the output hydraulic pressure is 6262.2 kPa.
III. Inspection and replacement of brake fluid
1. Inspection of brake fluid liquid level
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
It is recommended to check the liquid level of brake fluid in fluid reservoir after 10,000 km’s drive. The
proper fluid level should be between the upper limit marking (max) and lower limit marking (min) (Fig.
3-93).

Fig. 3-39 Inspection of brake fluid level

If brake fluid level is out of the range, some brake fluid (Fig. 3-94) need to be injected into the fluid
reservoir, till the fluid level up to the upper limit marking.

Fig. 3-94 Brake fluid injection


2. Replacement of brake fluid
It is recommended to replace the brake fluid after one year or 30,000 km’s drive. Pay attention to the
following matters when you make brake fluid injection or replacement:
(1) Make sure to use DOT-4 brake fluid.
(2) Please do not use the brake fluid which absorbs moisture in the air or becomes dirty. Otherwise, it will
result in braking efficiency decline, or premature wear of brake master cylinder or round cylinder.
(3) Brake fluid is poisonous, and it could destroy vehicle’s paintwork. So, clear it as soon as you find it
flows on the surface of your car.
(4) The mixed-use of brake fluid in different brands is not allowed; otherwise the brake fluid will be
invalid.

IV. Discharge air from the brake system


Brake will be weakened if air gets into the hydraulic-brake system. Discharge the air of the brake system in
the wheel cylinders so as to guarantee good braking effect. All tires should be deflated. The discharge
process includes the following:
(1) Check the fluid level, if it’s against the specification, fill the brake fluid.
(2) The sequence of discharge: right rear wheel---left rear wheel---right front wheel---left front wheels.
(3) Connect the air bleed screw of the wheel cylinder with a transparent plastic tube, and put the lower end
of the tube into the tank with brake fluid (Fig. 3-95). The lower end of the tube should not be out of the
fluid surface during the deflation process.

LIFAN320 Service manual

Fig. 3-95 Air discharging of the brake system

(4) Make the maximum pedal travel heavily after trampling the brake pedal for several times, and keep
trampling.
(5) Loosen the air bleed screw by turning it for 1/3 to 1/2 turn each time, the brake fluid flows out of the
tube. And the air bleed screw must be then screwed up tightly before the fluid pressure inside the wheel
cylinder disappears.
(6) Repeat (4) and (5) for several times. Only when the brake fluid flows without bubbles from the tube,
can the operation be stopped.
(7) Fill brake fluid into the fluid reservoir.
(8) Trample the brake pedal and check each part of the brake tube. No fluid should leak.

V. Check and repair of main parts in brake system


1. Regular replacement of easily damaged parts
There are many rubber parts in the brake system. They are easily aged and will influence the normal
operation of system. Therefore, they should be replaced regularly or as necessary. The brake master
cylinder rubber part, brake cylinder rubber part, brake hose should be replaced every two years or as
necessary; the vacuum booster rubber part, vacuum booster hose should be replaced every four years or as
necessary.
2. Check of brake disc and brake lining
(1) Check the abrasion of brake lining. After the vehicle drives for every 2000km, please check the wear
and tear of the brake lining. Its limit wear thickness should be 1.0 mm.
(2) After the vehicle drivers for every 4000km, please check the wear and tear of brake disc. Its limit wear
thickness is 2.0 mm. In case of thickness below 9 mm, please replace the brake disc.

VI. Adjustment of the clearance between the push rod and 1st piston of the brake master
cylinder
Proper clearance between master cylinder and piston should be ensured when connecting the brake master
cylinder and vacuum booster servo chamber. The clearance should be adjusted as below:
(1) Firstly correctly place the special maintenance tool to make the stew stem contact the brake master
cylinder piston, as shown in Fig. 3-96. Mounting pad of brake master cylinder should be installed during
adjustment.

Chapter V ABS Anti-lock Brake System (Optional)

Section I Composition of ABS

The ABS of LF320 sedan is composed of electronic control unit, hydraulic control unit, sensor and motor.

I. Electronic control unit (ECU)


Electronic control unit is actually a microprocessor, which calculates the speed of the 4 wheels and speed
increase and decrease according to the signal from the sensor so as to determine the slide situation and
drive the solenoid valve and motor to increase, decrease and maintain the pressure and so on.

II. Hydraulic control unit (HCU)


Hydraulic control unit is composed of two hydraulic circuits and solenoid valve, which calculates and
determines slide situation to decide the ABS operation according to the signal from the sensor, and then
controls the program to start the solenoid valve and motor to increase, decrease and maintain the pressure
and so on.

Fig. 3-100 HECU system


1- Motor 2- HCU 3- ECU

III. Sensor
The sensor sends the signal from the gear rotation detection to ECU.

IV. Motor
The motor rotates according to the signal of ECU. And the bearing transfers the rotation into straight
reciprocating motion to cycle the brake fluid.

Section II Principle of ABS


Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual

I. Control principle of ABS


Fig. 3-101 shows the control principle of ABS.

Fig. 3-101 ABS control principle


II. Operating mode of ABS
1. Operating condition of regular brake
If a vehicle is equipped with ABS and the brake pressure to wheel does not lock the wheel, the pressure of
assemble pump will be transmitted to wheel slave cylinder through normally opened valve to apply the
brake. If no further braking is needed, the driver can reduce the pressure to brake pedal, which allows the
brake fluid return to assemble pump for pressure decrease, as shown in Table 3-4.
2. ABS operation (pressure decrease) condition
If a vehicle is equipped with ABS and the braking pressure is too large, the friction coefficient will be
decreased and the wheel speed will be decreased much quickly than the vehicle body. Finally the wheel
will be locked, which makes ECU send HCU a signal of pressure decrease to wheel. In order to decrease
the pressure of wheel slave cylinder, the normally opened valve will close and the normally closed valve
will open. Then the brake oil from wheel slave cylinder will return to low pressure accumulator (LPA)
temporarily, and return to assemble pump with the oil pump started by the motor. High pressure
accumulator (HPA) between LPA and assemble pump will decrease the high pressure pulse produced by oil
pump with the help of metering jet fluid resistance.

The pressure of wheel slave cylinder is maintained by the closed normally opened valve and normally

Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
as shown in Table 3-6.

4. ABS operation (pressure increase) condition


When the pressure is decreased, if too much brake fluid is discharged or friction coefficient is increased,
the pressure to every wheel should be increased. ECU will send HCU a signal of pressure increase to wheel.
In order to increase the pressure of wheel slave cylinder, the normally opened valve will open and the
normally closed valve will close. In case of pressure decrease, the brake fluid in LPA will flow out under
the pressure increase condition with rotation of motor and then into wheel slave cylinders through the
assemble pump and the normally opened valve. HPA between LPA and assemble pump will decrease the
high pressure pulse produced by oil pump with the help of metering jet fluid resistance, as shown in Table
3-7.
Concerning operations described in item 2 ~ 4 above, ABS will work until the vehicle has been completely
stopped according to locking condition, so as to guarantee the safety and steering performance.

Table 3-6 ABS pressure decrease operation condition Table 3-7 ABS pressure decrease operation condition

III. EBD control mode


EBD is to guarantee the operation stability. Rear wheel will be stopped after front wheel. As front brake
does more work than rear brake, the rear wheel will stop first if it receives equal pressure. In order to
prevent it, the equipment, pressure reducing valve (P-Valve), to decrease the pressure of rear wheel is
needed. A special P-Valve is not necessary for the vehicle with ABS, as ABS can control the rear wheel
braking pressure with supplementary procedures and improve the operation stability.

Section III Removal and Installation of ABS

I. Spare parts supply condition


1. Difference between dry HECU and wet HECU
The biggest difference between dry HECU and wet HECU is the second circuit (between normally closed
valve and assemble pump) of dry HECU does not exhaust. As a result, only regular exhaust and filling will
be necessary for brake system after replacement in case of wet HECU; regular exhaust and filling and that
to the second circuit will be necessary for brake system after replacement in case of dry HECU. Besides,
there is a seal bolt for wet HECU and protection film for dry HECU. The product’s part number is marked
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
on the product label on the motor; therefore, the dry HECU and wet HECU can be differentiated through
the part number, as shown in Fig. 3-102.

II. Notes on removal and installation


1. Notes on HECU installation
(1) Remove the protection film on HECU, and confirm pipelines of assemble pump and wheel slave
cylinder before operation (assemble pump: MCP and MCS; wheel slave cylinder: FR, FL, RR and RL).
(2) Make sure the brake pipe is tightened and torque is 12~16N·m with a special tool, torque wrench or
other equipments.
(3) No foreign material is allowed in HECU holes and brake pipes.
2. Notes on HECU bracket assembly
(1) As installation error may occur for the frictional resistance of buffer pad when tightening (3) bolts,
lubricant not affecting physical property of buffer pad is preferred.
(2) For easy operation, (3) bolts can be inserted into the buffer pad on bracket and then to HECU.
(3) Make sure the tightening torque of (3) bolts is 8~12N·m with a special tool, torque wrench, as shown
in Fig. 3-103.

II. Notes on fault diagnosis (Table 3-9)

As ABS is controlled by the electronic hydraulic pressure, the phenomena in the following table are normal
under normal working condition of ABS, not faults.

Table 3-9 Notes on fault diagnosis


Phenomenon Description
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
System
Sometimes there will be sound like collision from the engine compartment after engine
self-check
is started. It is normal because it is caused by the ABS self-check.
sound
1. Motor sound in ABS hydraulic unit
2. Sound with brake pedal vibration
ABS working
3. Suspension impact sound caused by braking or screak caused by friction between
sound
wheel and ground when ABS works
Note: Wheel may screak when ABS is working normally.
ABS works, but Sometimes the braking distance of the vehicle with ABS will be longer than that of the
the braking vehicle without ABS on snow or sandstone road. The driver should be more careful
distance is long. when driving on these roads.

III. Key Points on maintenance of dynamic faults


Instantaneous poor contact may occur in the electronic control system, electrical circuit and signal input
and output areas, which may cause occasional dynamic fault or DTC during ECU self-check. If fault cause
continues, the abnormal part can be detected with reference to DTC table. As sometimes fault cause
vanishes itself, it is difficult to figure out the real cause.

In such a situation, faults can be simulated to check if the fault occurs again.
1. When vibration may be the main reason:
(1) Shake the connector lightly in all directions;
(2) Shake the harness lightly in all directions;
(3) Shake the sensor lightly in all directions;
(4) Shake the other moving parts (like wheel bearing) lightly.

Note: If the harness is twisted off or fractured for tight pull, it must be replaced with new parts. Especially
when vehicle is moving, the sensor will move up and down, which may cause instantaneous open/short
circuit. As a result, sensor signal check must be carried out when vehicle is moving.

2. When overheating or supercooling may be the main reason:


Heat the possibly faulted part with a blower;
Check for cold welding phenomenon with a cold spray.

3. When overlarge contact resistance of power supply circuit may be the main reason:
Open all electrical switches, including the headlight and rear defrosting lamp.
If fault does not show again, it can only be diagnosed and repaired when it comes out next time. Generally
the occasional dynamic fault will only get worse, not better.

IV. ABS fault diagnosis and troubleshooting

1. Check ABS warning lamp


Check if ABS warning lamp is turned on in the following ways
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
(1) Turn the vehicle key to connect the circuit, and then ABS warning lamp is turned on and then turned off
after 3 seconds.
(2) Fault exists if not the same with the situation in (1); check the DTC and refer to DTC Check Table.
(3) Refer to No DTC Fault Table if the warning lamp can not be turned on.

3. DTC read and deletion without fault diagnostic instrument


(1) Purpose and condition of DTC read without diagnostic instrument
If no diagnostic instrument is available, ABS fault condition can be indicated and DTC can be read through
ABS warning lamp, so as to confirm and eliminate the fault.
The use conditions are:
1) Speed is less than 2 km/h;
2) Not connected to fault diagnostic instrument;
3) Wire L (pin 7 in the internal diagnosis interface) is always grounded during diagnosis.
Besides, restore ECU mode of ABS to normal mode (diagnosis mode before) after DTC read. Method: after
diagnosis, disconnect wire L from ground, turn the key to off-power condition, and connect again.
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
(2) Method of DTC read without fault diagnostic instrument
Read in the following steps if meeting the conditions of DTC read without fault diagnostic instrument.
The procedures in Fig. 3-107 are:
1) Ground wire L and turn the vehicle key to connect the circuit;
2) ABS warning lamp is turned on and then turned off after 3 seconds, which indicates the start of
diagnosis;
3) ABS warning lamp is turned off for 3 seconds, which indicates the DTC display stage;
4) DTC read;
5) ABS warning lamp is turned off for 3 seconds, which indicates the next DTC display or circular display
stage;
6) New DTC display and read, or circular display of previous DTC.
The meanings of marks in Fig. 3-107 are listed in Table 3-11.

Fig. 3-107 DTC read method

Take the procedure illustrated in Figure 3-107 for example. In the display area of the first DTC, as warning
lamp blinks twice (each on and off is T3, 0.5 second) before T4 (1.5 seconds before warning lamp is turned
on), the first mark (ten’s place) of the 2 digital code is 2; as warning lamp blinks once after T4 (1.5 seconds
after warning lamp is turned off), the second mark of the 2 digital code (unit’s place) is 1; as then warning
lamp is turned off for 3 seconds (T2), the display of the first DTC is finished, and the DTC is 21. Detailed
description of the fault can be found in DTC Table. It is the same with DTC 22.
(3) Deletion of DTC without fault diagnostic instrument
After DTC read and fault elimination according to DTC Table, previous DTC should be deleted before next
DTC check. The terms of DTC deletion is the same with that of DTC read, as shown in Fig. 3-108.

Table 3-11 Meanings of symbols


Symbol Symbol description Duration
T1 Symbol of diagnosis start; warning lamp flickers 3.0s
T2 Interval of different DTC 3.0s
T3 Warning lamp flash interval in case of DTC 0.5s
Interval of different digital place of a DTC (the ten’s
T4 place is displayed before the interval and the unit’s 1.5s
place is after the interval)
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual

Fig. 3-108 DTC deletion

Procedures in the figure are:


1) Step on the brake pedal, ground wire L and then turn the vehicle key to connect the circuit;
2) ABS warning lamp is turned on, and then is turned off after 3 seconds;
3) Release the brake pedal within 1 second after ABS warning light is turned off;
4) Release the pedal for about 1 second, and then press it again for about 1 second. Repeat this procedure
for 5 times; warning lamp is not turned off during this process;
5) ABS warning lamp is turned on, and then turned off after 3 seconds; DTC is deleted in this process.

After DTC deletion, restore ECU mode of ABS to normal mode. Operation process is the same with that of
DTC diagnosis. If no DTC is in ECU of ABS, ground wire L and turn the key to connect the circuit; the
ABS warning lamp will flash in a way illustrated in Figure 3-109, and meanings of symbols are the same
with that above.

Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
As the inside of spare HECU is wet, exhaust mode operation is not necessary; exhaust can be carried out to
all wheels directly
1. After stepping on brake pedal, open the bleed screw on the caliper or drum brake to exhaust the air
inside.
This operation should be carried out for all wheels before that the brake fluid exhausted through the bleed
screw contains no air and brake pedal is hard enough.
2. Operate the exhaust mode with the reassembled equipment or diagnostic instrument and step on brake
pedal, if there is no reaction force, repeat stepping on and releasing the pedal until exhaust mode is finished.
(Exhaust mode: repeat the process of start and stop of normally closed solenoid valve with interval of 2
seconds for 1 minute, and keep motor working. The repeat of stepping on and releasing of pedal should be
carried out on the normally closed solenoid valve while motor is operating.)
3. Item 1 (exhaust) should be carried out for all wheels.

Appendix I Fault Cases and Mistaken Repair Cases

HECU mistaken repair cases:


1. HECU replacement concerning ABS working sound
Case of HECU replacement for misjudging sounds of solenoid valve and motor as fault when ABS is
working
It is normal that there is noise during brake pressure decrease or increase when ABS is working. The
volume of noise varies according to different pressures to all wheels. It is not a fault, which should be
explained to clients.
When ECU diagnoses whether motor is working at the vehicle speed of 10 km/h for the first time after start,
a sensitive client may hear noise, which is also a normal ABS working condition.

2. HECU replacement concerning EBD working sound


Case of HECU replacement for misjudging “click” sound from rear wheel as fault when braking.
ABS can work as EBD. When rear wheel is blocked before front wheel, ABS will reduce the brake
pressure of rear wheel, which may cause noise. It is normal.

3. HECU replacement concerning braking deviation


Case of HECU replacement concerning the phenomenon that vehicle drifts to one side when braking
ABS is an auxiliary brake equipment to calculate the speeds of all wheels by ECU and maintain the best
brake force and operation stability. When a fault occurs to HECU, ECU will turn on the warning lamp after
diagnosis. As a result, if braking deviation occurs while ABS warning lamp is not turned on, other
hydraulic brake equipments should be checked.
Braking deviation may occur when ABS is working if brake hose is mistakenly assembled.

4. Case of replacement concerning that ABS works during low speed (below 40 km/h) brake
Case of HECU and sensor replacement concerning that ABS works during every low speed brake
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
ABS may work during low speed braking according to road condition and brake pressure. If ABS works
every time, check whether the air gap of sensors of all wheels is too large, whether the ring gear is
disturbed and damaged.
Air gap adjustment method: After confirmation of part with abnormal air gap, replace or burnish the
mounting surface (contact area) of sensor and adjust to the specified air gap; when disturbance occurs, a
thin washer should be placed on the surface of sensor and then adjust to specified air gap.

Appendix II ABS Common Sense


1. If braking distance will be shorter after installing ABS?
According to experimental statistics, the braking distance will be shorter (about 5% ~ 20%) on most roads;
but it can be longer on some special roads (like snow, non-asphalt and uneven roads), but with stable
steering.

2. What are the main purposes of ABS?


The main purpose of ABS is to prevent block. The functions are as follows:
(1) To stabilize the vehicle when braking
(2) To control the direction of the vehicle during braking to avoid collision
(3) To maintain the best brake pressure regardless of the skill of driver

3. Why ABS warning lamp is turned on?


After the vehicle is started, warning lamp will be turned off if no fault is detected by the self-diagnosis of
ECU of ABS. If warning lamp is turned on or can not be turned off when vehicle is running, the ABS is
abnormal and ABS check in appointed service factory is necessary. When warning lamp is turned on and
ABS is abnormal, the brake system still has the basic braking ability, but the careful driving is still
required.

4. Will no accident happen if ABS is installed?


ABS is an equipment to improve driving safety, not to avoid accident caused by driving mistake or traffic
condition. As a result, do not depend too much on ABS. Please always drive safely.

5. Is it caused by ABS that the vehicle drifts to one side when running on a slippery road?
This is because the friction coefficients of the left and right wheels are different. ABS can stabilize the
vehicle in this situation, but the driver should also control the steering wheel to avoid accident.

6. The vehicle will drift before braking when turning on a slippery road. Does ABS work if to brake
now?
Definitely ABS will work effectively and may stabilize the vehicle according to the speed, but the position
of vehicle can only be adjusted slightly even ABS works because the outward force is too large for the
inertia. Usually there are two kinds of forces during turning: one is needed when running and braking; the
other is needed when turning and stabilizing. Actually running, braking and turning of the vehicle are
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
coordinated by the two kinds of forces above; and they are in inverse proportion to each other. As a result,
the brake force will increase while the turning and stabilizing force will decrease if to brake when turning.
The two kinds of forces can be adjusted to the best on the vehicle with ABS; but they can not be adjusted
on the vehicle without ABS, which will weaken its steering performance and stability.
If the two kinds of forces are too small (For example, the vehicle will leave the running route as the speed
is too high when drifting), the force to adjust the vehicle is too small, the ABS effect is not obvious. In a
word, deceleration in advance and safe turning is the best solution.

Section Ⅱ Battery

Ⅰ. Composition & Principle


1. Functions
Battery, connected with the engine in parallel, is one of the automobile power supplies. Its functions are:
(1) When the engine is started, provide starting current to engine, and power supply to ignition system.
(2) Assist the power supply to support current-using equipments individually or with the generator when
the generator does not work or is at low voltage.
(3) When electrical energy in the battery is insufficient, the generator can charge the battery, transform the
spare electrical energy into chemical energy and store them, so as to meet the next use.
(4) Guarantee voltage stabilization. The battery is equal to a large capacitance. It can absorb the transient
over voltage in the automotive electrical system so as to protect the electronic components. As there are
lots of electronic components in LF 320 sedan, it’s important to make sure the battery is in good connection,
so as to prevent the on-vehicle electronic equipments to be damaged by the instantaneous high pressure in
the electrical system.

2. Basic components
The lead-acid battery used by LIFAN sedans is mainly composed of positive/negative plates and sulfuric
acid electrolyte; refer to Fig. 4-11. The storage, discharge, and recharge of the battery are realized by the
electrochemical reaction bwtween active material and electrolyte on the polar plate. The active material
which is brown on the positive plate of the battery is PbO2, while the active material on the negative plate
is Pb. The electrolyte of the battery is made up from a mixture of pure sulphuric acid and distilled water
proportionally. Both positive plate and negative plates are connected in parallel with multichips in order to
enlarge the capacity of the battery. Positive plate group is interdigitated with negative plate group, and an
insulating barrier is installed between the two groups so as to avoid shortcircuits. A pair of positive and
negative plates groups forms a cell, and its normal voltage is 2V. Therefore, a battery rated 12V requires 6
cells to be connected in series. The structure of common battery refers to Fig. 4-12.

3. Basic principles of lead-acid battery


(1) Build up electromotive force (EMF) of the battery
Some active material on the polar plate will dissolve and ionize when the positive and negative plates are in
the electrolyte. After ionization, the PbO2 on the positive plate will leave Pb4+ on the positive plate which
can increase the electrical potential of the positive plate, while the pure lead on the negative plate will leave
the negative plate with electrons which can decrease the electrical potential of the negative plate. As a
result of the ionization, the electric potential difference which is called EMF is formed. It enables the
battery to transmit electricity to external circuit. The EMF of the battery is affected by Pb4+ and electron
density. The EMF of the positive and negative plates is about 2.1V when the battery is fully charged.
(2) Discharge of battery
When the positive and negative plates are connected with the external circuit, the electrons will flow from
the negative plate to the positive plate. When Pb4+ on the positive plate gains electrons, it will change into

Pb2+, and then dissolve in electrolyte. Meanwhile, PbO2 on the positive plate keeps ionizing so as to add

the lost Pb4+. Pb on the negative plate provides electrons by continuous ionization. During the discharge

process, Pb2+ and SO42- in the electrolyte combine and release PbSO4, and they will then attach to the

surface of the positive and negative plates. The active material PbO2 and Pb on the plates will gradually be
converted into PbSO4. H2SO4 in the electrolyte decreases while H2O increases, as a result of this, the
density of electrolyte falls.
(3) Charge of battery
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
When the battery stops discharging, a little PbSO4 on both positive and negative plates will inoize.When
the battery is charging, the charging supply will form electric field force, which can absorb electrons on the
positive plate and transform them to the negative plate, and then charge current will come into being. Pb2+
on the positive plate loses electrons and changes into Pb4+. By combining with water in the electrolyte,

Pb4+ is reduced to PbO2 and attaches to the positive plate. Pb2+ is reduced to Pb and attaches to the

negative plate after it gains electrons. During the charge process, PbSO4 on the positive and negative plates
is gradually reduced to PbO2 and Pb, H2O in the electrolyte decreases while H2SO4 increases, as a result
of this, the density of electrolyte rises.
4. Battery type & capacity
The battery capacity of LIFAN sedan increases in order to meet the increasing power consumption of
automotive electrical and electronic equipments. The Battery type& capacity: 12V60Ah 640CCA.

II. Common Faults& Elimination


1. Polar plate vulcanization
Polar plate vulcanization is the most common fault of battery. Coarse crystal lead sulfate forms on the
plates is hard to be reduced when charging. When plates are vulcanized, battery interior resistance increases,
capacity and starting ability decrease. Charge and discharge performance: terminal voltage decreases
quickly when discharging. Terminal voltage and temperature increase quickly and “boils” too early when
charging. The density of electrolyte rises slowly and it couldn't reach the standard level.
(1) Fault causes
1) Low power battery. PbSO4 isn't reduced to active material in time, the PbSO4 in the electrolyte will be
crystallized because of being over-saturated. This recrystallization process is polar plate vulcanization.
2) Low electrolyte level. Polar plates are oxidized because of exposition. When the car bumps and shakes,
electrolyte recrystallizes with the already oxidized plates. And then polar plate vulcanization forms.
3) Deep discharge. It refers to that low current has been over discharged for a long time, active material
then changes into PbSO4, and charge the battery with car generator; PbSO4 can not be restored, and then
coarse crystal lead sulfate forms in the course of time.
Besides, polar plate vulcanization can also be caused by over high or impure density of the electrolyte,
rapid variations of external temperature, etc.
(2) Fault elimination measures
If it is serious, you could give up repair (maintain) that battery as the battery capacity is low and fails to
work normally. If not, do eliminate vulcanization with the following instructions:
1) Pour out the electrolyte, wash the battery twice by using distilled water, and finally infuse it with plenty
of distilled water.
2) Turn on the current, charge the battery with 1/30A of its rated capacity. When the density of electrolyte
increases to 1.15g/cm3, pour out the electrolyte, infuse it with fresh electrolyte before put it under
recharging, keep doing this until the density of electrolyte is stable.
3) Discharge the battery with 1/10A of its rated capacity. When the cell voltage decreases to 1.7V, stop
discharging, charge the battery with 1/10A of its rated capacity, and then keep discharging and charging
alternatively until the battery capacity reaches 80% of the rated capacity.
4) Adjust the density of electrolyte to required value.

2. Self-discharge
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
Self-discharge refers to that battery loses energy without any connection of the external circuit. Normally,
self-discharge is inevitable; however, self-discharge fault forms if the self-discharge capacity is over 2%
per day and night. Self-discharge fault can cause shortage of the stored charge only hours or days after the
battery is out of use for days.
(1) Fault causes
1) Creepage will occur if the battery cap is covered with oil stains, dust and electrolyte.
2) Too much sediment in the bottom of battery case result in short circuit of positive and negative plates.
3) Insulating barrier fracture result in short circuit of positive and negative plates.
4) Impure electrolyte with too much metal impurities.
(2) Fault elimination measures
Elimination method should be selected according to the fault causes
1) Check the surface of battery, clean it if necessary.
2) Check whether electrolyte is brown when charging, if yes, the battery is self-charge because of too much
sediment in the bottom of battery case. Pour out the electrolyte, use distilled water to wash the inside of the
battery case, infuse it with fresh electrolyte, and finally fully charge the battery.
3) If self-discharge fault still exists since all check results are normal or all faults have been excluded, it
might be caused by impure electrolyte, elimination method: fully or over discharge the battery so as to
transfer all the impurities into electrolyte, then pour out the electrolyte, use distilled water to wash the
inside of the battery case, infuse it with fresh electrolyte, and finally fully charge the battery.
Note: The same phenomenon with self-discharge fault can be caused when the current-using equipments
are not turned on or when short circuit and creepage occure, therefore, external circuit should be checked
firstly before checking or eliminating self-discharge fault.
Quartz digital clock, electronic tuning radio (with radio memory), and computer memory of electronic
injection engine are in power-up status even if the ignition switch is turned off, so when the ignition switch
and all current-using equipments switches are turned off, it’s normal to find the output current is not 0 or
the circuitous resistance is not open. But the electric current should be less than 1A, and the electric
resistance should be less than 100Ω, otherwise, circuit or switch has short circuit or creepage fault.

3. Active material sheds in early period


Electrlyte will become brown and turbid when the battery is charging. If charging voltage increases too
rapidly, electrolyte will boil prematurely, and its density can’t reach the maximum of required value. If
discharging voltage decreases too rapidly, electrolyte is obviously not enough, which indicates active
material sheds a lot.
(1) Fault cause. During normal use period, only limited active material sheds from the plates. The cause of
active material sheds in early period could be the following:
1) Over current charge or over time charge can electrolyze lots of water and release gas. The gas press on
the holes of plates, this pressure leads active material to shed. Over current charge could also make the
electrolyte temperature become over high, plates will distort and cause active material to shed. Over time
charge could cause over oxidation of the fence, which makes active material shed from the fence.
2) Over current charge for a long time, especially in low temperature, can add its production PbSO4 with
dense-layer. PbO2 will enjoy a dendrite formation when charging, and dendrite is easy to fall.
3) Over time charge will produce too much PbSO4 on the plates, inflation of the plates press on the active
material and make them to shed.
4) False battery plates installation makes the battery be active in the car, and the plates bump and shake
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
seriously. Active material sheds.
5) When the battery doesn’t charge in time after discharge in winter, the electrolyte will freeze because of
low density. Active material sheds.
(2) Fault elimination methods. When active material sheds little, pour out the electrolyte, use distilled water
to wash the battery, infuse it with fresh electrolyte, and then use it after charging. If active material sheds a
lot, replace the plates or battery with new ones.

III. Use and Maintenance of Battery


1. Daily inspection and maintenance
(1) Appearance check:
1) Check if the battery is stably installed and if the clamp and pile are well connected. Clear off oxide on
the clamp and pile, and coat them with vaseline or consistent grease to prevent oxidation.
2) Check if the battery cap is clean. Dust, oil stains and electrolyte should be removed in time.
3) Check if the breeder tube on the infusion manhole cover is unobstructed, if not, gases inside the battery
will gather together and then increase the pressure. The housing can be broken and even explosion may
occur.
(2) Check the electrolyte level The electrolyte level should be 10mm-15mm above the plates normally,
distilled water should be added when electrolyte level is abnormally low, electrolyte is not recommend, or
its density will be abnormally high. Natural evaporation and electrolyzation of water decrease the
electrolyte level. Electrolyte with the same density can only be infused when electrolyte is poured out,
leaked or insufficient.
(3) Discharge level Discharge level can be checked by testing the density of electrolyte or voltage drop of
cell (Fig. 4-13). Normally, density decreases every 0.01g/cm3, battery discharges 6%. If the battery
discharges exceed 25% in winter or 50% in summer, battery should be charged before use.
Note: Electrolyte density should not be tested right after heavy current discharge or distilled water infusion,
meanwhile, temperature of electrolyte also requires test, and convert the actual density value to density
value at 25℃. Conversion formula:

r25℃=rt+0.00075(T-25)

r25℃--Density of electrolyte when the temperature is at 25C°(g/cm3);

rt--Actual density value (g/cm3); T--Actual temperature of electrolyte (℃)

2. Operating principle
Each instrument cluster works individually although they are installed on one circuit board. Speed is
provided by speed sensor; rotation speed is provided after electronic injection ECU treatment, to enable the
speedometer and odometer to work. Other instruments wrning lamps and indicator circuits enable loops
with their own sensors, and show their own monitor objective parameters and states on the instruments or
warning lamps.

3. Model
(1) Speedometer with a stepper motor;
(2) Tachometer with a stepper motor;
(3) Fuel gauge with a stepper motor;
(4) Odometer with LCD;
(5) Instruments are connected with sockets.
(6) Speedometer
1) Odometer
Show mileage through speed sensor and instruments board circuit. Odometer consists of subtotal odometer
and accumulated odometer. As for short mileage count, subtotal odometer can be reset by pressing the reset
button.
2) Speedometer
Instrument gets the signal from speed sensor, the signal will then be sent to instrument cluster after treated
by ECU; then the instrument cluster will drive the stepper motor to make the pointer swing and indicate the
driving speed of he vechicle.
3) Tachometer
Engine rotation speed signal is generated by engine rotation speed sensor; the signal will then be sent to
instrument cluster after treated by ECU; then the instrument cluster will drive the stepper motor to make the
pointer swing and indicate the rotation speed of engine.
4) Fuel gauge
Fuel gauge is used to indicate the fuel in the tank. The lowest fuel level warning lamp will flash when the
fuel gauge indicates “0” level; there are about 8L fuel left, fuel is advised to be filled immediately in nearby
gasoline station. Fuel gauge gets fuel tank level signal through the fuel level sensor. The fuel level sensor is
asliding resistance potentiometer. Float rod changes with the fuel level, driving the the movement of
gleithretter and change the resistance of circuit in the fuel gauge. Test this resistance, and make the electric
motor to turn to the right position (Fig. 4-17).

Fig. 4-17 Fuel level sensor

5) Oil pressure warning lamp is used to monitor engine oil pressure. When the oil pressure is lower than the
set one during the engine operation process, the warning lamp will then flash. Stop the vehicle and check
the oil level. If the oil level is normal while the warning lamp keeps flashing, check the engine lubrication
system. Oil pressure warning lamp is controlled by oil pressure sensor on the main oil passage of the engine
lubricating system. When the engine operates, normal oil pressure will disconnect the sensor contact, and
the warning lamp goes put. If the pressure is lower than the set one, the switch will close and the alarm
lamp will then be lit.
6) Brake fluid level warning lamp is used to warn the too low brake fluid level.
7) If engine fault warning lamp flashes or shines when the engine is under operation, engine injection or
ignition system has faults. Stop the vehicle and check it.
8) Charging indicator monitors charging system fault. If the indicator lights under normal engine operation,
charging system fault exists.

II. Instrument system check and repair


1. General method for check and repair of instrument cluster
(1) When instrument cluster fault exists, try to analyze fault cause according to fault and circuit principle,
then check and repair the fault by “outside to inside” steps. First check sensors, switches, fuse, circuits, and
interfaces, etc. except dash board, and eliminate the fault sources. If the instruments fail to work normally,
then check instruments, printing circuit board, and bulbs inside the dash board.
(2) If more than one indicator or warning lamp doesn’t shine, check relevant fuse and power supply wires;
if normal, check the ground connection of dashboard.
(3) If fuel gauge, oil pressure gauge, and other instruments don’t work at the same time, check related fuse
and power supply wires, and then check the earthing state of the dash board.
(4) Check instruments and sensors by replacing them with good ones. Replace them with normal sensors,
and check if the instruments can restore normally.

2. Fuel gauge check and repair


(1) Open circuit fault
If the fuel gauge pointer indicates E level always, an open circuit exists. Check and repair methods:
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
1) Disassemble harness plug of fuel gauge when igniton swith is disconnected.
2) Connect the ignition switch, using the DC voltage of multimeter to test the 2 terminals of the plug. If
there is not DC 12 V, check the wire of fuel gauge. And dismantle and check the fuel gauge if the wire is
normal; Check the fuel level sensor if the voltage is normal.
(2) Short circuit
If the fuel gauge pointer indicates F level always no matter how much fuel is left inside the fuel tank, a
short circuit exists, check and repair method:
1) Disassemble harness plug of fuel gauge when ignition switch is disconnected.
2) Connect the ignition switch, and check if the fuel gauge pointer is towards to F.
If the pointer still indicates F level, check the wire of fuel gauge. And dismantle and check the fuel gauge.
If the wire is normal; dismantle and check or replace the fuel level sensor if the pointer indicates 0 level.
(3) Fuel level sensor check and repair method:
1) Before disassembling the fuel level sensor, test the resistance between sensor signal terminal and ground.
If the terminal is not connected to earth (resistance is ∞), the connection inside fuel level sensor is poor,
replace it. If the resistance is 0, a short circuit inside fuel level sensor exists, replace the sensor.
2) After disassembling the fuel level sensor, test the resistance of the sensor when the float rod is rotating.
The float is under E level 1/2 level and F level should be in accordance to that in Fig. 4-6. If the resistance
is not continuously changing (resistance ∞ appears) or abnormal when the float rod is rotating, replace the
fuel level sensor.

repair methods:
1) Disassemble wiring harness plug of oil pressure switch when ignition switch is disconnected.
2) Ground the terminal on oil pressure switch plug directly, and then connect ignition switch, and check if
the warning lamp shines. If not, check wire of the warning lamp. If wire is normal, dismantle or repair the
warning lamp; if the warning lamp shines, check or replace the oil pressure switch.
(2) Oil pressure switch check and repair
Unplug the oil pressure switch; test the resistance between oil pressure switch terminal and ground. Normal
status: connected when engine is operating and disconnected when the engine is not operating. If the test
result is abnormal, replace the switch.
4. Brake fluid level switch check and repair
(1) Warning lamp fault check and repair
If the warning lamp does not shine when the fluid is under the minimum level, an open circuit exists. Check
and repair method:
1) Unplug the brake fluid level switch when the ignition switch is connected.
2) Short-circuit the two terminals of the switch plug, connect the ignition switch, and check if the warning

Chapter III Air Bag

Section I Composition and Arrangement

The whole air bag system is mainly composed of driver air bag module (DAB), front passenger air bag
module (PAB), air bag clock spring (SRS CS), air bag electronic control unit (SRS ECU), safety belt
pre-tensioners for driver side and front passenger side (deluxe scheme), air bag harness, warning label, and
so on.

1. Air bag ECU


The air bag ECU assembly is installed at the central axis of the vehicle, under the central control panel, as
shown in Fig. 4-18. The air bag ECU can keep in operation for over 100ms under the circumstances that the
battery voltage drops too low or the power supply disconnects because of collision.

2. Driver air bag module


The un-removable driver air bag module, containing gas generator, bag, ornamental cap and a series of
auxiliary components, is installed in the central ornamental cap of the steering wheel, as shown in Fig.
4-19.

3. Air bag clock spring

2. Air bag ECU
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
Driver air bag module, whose communication with ECU is carried out through air bag clock spring, is
installed on the steering wheel and turns simultaneously with the steering wheel. The clock spring,
comprising swirly calbe, turnplate, housing, harness, auxiliary components, etc, is installed on the
combination switch, as shown in Fig. 4-20.

Fig. 4-20 Air bag clock spring

The working principle of air bag clock spring: the installation housing of the clock spring is fixed on the
steering column, the upper part of the clock spring turn plate is inserted into the steering wheel, and the
swirly cable is installed between the turnplate and installation housing. When the steering wheel turns left
or right, the clock spring turnplate will turns simultaneously with the steering wheel, turning the output end
of the cable and stretching or tightening the swirly cable. For this reason, the harness is prevented from
being wound upon the steering column. Beyond that, the continuity of the harness and the connection of the
electronic signal is assured. Thus, the harness of the clock spring is also the bridge for supplying electricity
from the vehicle body to the related functional components of steering wheel.

4. Front passenger air bag module (optional)


The front passenger air bag module, comprising gas generator, bag and a series of auxiliary components,
etc, is installed above the sundries box of dash board, as shown in Fig. 4-21.
The main function of front passenger air bag module: under normal usage, the front passenger air bag
module shall receive ignition signal from SRS ECU (Supplement Restraint System Electronic Control Unit)
and then spark the gas generator and produce abundant air rapidly for the deployment of air bag. With all of
these, the passenger can be protected.

Fig. 4-21 Front-passenger air bag module


Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
5. Air bag harness
Air bag harness is used to connect the air bag ECU, clock spring and dash board harness.
6. Air bag warning lamp
Air bag warning lamp is installed on the dash board as shown in Fig. 4-22.
SRS warning lamp will shine when the self-diagnosis circuit of air bag ECU assembly is faulty, so as to
inform the driver of the fault. Normally, the warning lamp shines for 5 seconds and then goes out
automatically when the ignition switch is turned to ON. When the circuit is under poor contact or the fault
exists from time to time, the warning lamp will keep shining after 8 historical records accumulation. Driver
is advised to go to the service station for a check in time when a SRS warning fault is found.

Fig. 4-22 Air bag warning lamp

Section II Working Principle

When frontal collision accident occurs, the collision sensor shall produce signal for the collision, and the
air bag ECU shall detect and analyze the collision signal to determine the necessity for ignition requirement.
If necessary, the ignition impulse shall be sent out immediately, the ignition pipe in each air bag module be
ignited, and then the gas generating material in each of the air bag module shall be ignited by the ignition
pipe. Therefore, abundant gas generated in extremely short time shall inflate the air bag suddenly, forcedly
open the ornamental cap, and the fully inflated air bag be formed. By this way, the impact upon the driver
and passenger arising from the collision accident shall be absorbed, and the injury of the driver and
passenger shall be avoided or lessened. Working principle of the air bag is shown in Fig. 4-23.

Section III Air Bag Repair Safety Rules

If the air bag is not repaired according to the right operation instructions, it may be deployed by accident
and lead to serious accident! Besides, if the air bag is repaired in a wrong operation, it may not be deployed
when it is needed! Before repair, read the following instructions and follow the right operational procedure!

1. The check, installation and repair must be operated by professionals.

2. Use special voltmeter and ohmmeter (minimum 10/V) to test the voltage and the resistance instead of
detector lamp, general voltmeter and ohmmeter.

3. When eliminating the air bag system fault, fault codes must be read first before disassembling the earth
wire of the battery.

4. Before specific repair operation, disassemble the earth wire on the negative pole of the battery, and carry
out repair work after at least 3 minutes later. If not, the air bag may be deployed by accident. Besides,
cover the disassembled negative pole with insulating tape for insulation.
Notes: Operations must be performed more than 3 minutes after the power is shut. If not, serious accident
could happen.

5. After slight collision, the driver air bag module and air bag ECU assembly should be checked even
though the air bag is not deployed.
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
6. If the repair work may cause the sensor to vibrate, disassemble the air bag ECU assembly before
repairing.

7. Do not use air bag system components from other vehicles. Replace the components with new ones.

8. Do not disassemble or repair the driver and front passenger air bag modules or the air bag ECU assembly
for reusage or other purpose.

9. If the driver and front passenger air bag modules and the air bag ECU assembly drop and vibrate, or
there are crack, indentation or other damages on the shells, support saddles, or interfaces, replace them
with new ones.

10. Do not place the driver and front passenger air bag modules and the air bag ECU assembly in hot air
or fire.

11. Disassemble and put away the air bag ECU, air bag module and clock spring if there are affections
caused by over heat (more than 93℃) during the operation.

12. Interfaces of air bag ECU assembly, between air bag ECU assembly and clock spring, between clock
spring and driver air bag module, between front passenger air bag module and air bag ECU are
equipped with protection mechanism to avoid the air bag to be deployed by accident. Follow the
instructions when operating the air bag system, otherwise the air bag may unfold by accident or
damages will be caused to components.

13. Follow the instructions on the components of the air bag system and the relevant positions inside the
vehicle while operating.

14. When the air bag system is under operation, put the air bag modules into the vehicle immediately when
they are taken out from the conveyer. If the operation is stopped, put the modules back to the conveyer;
do not place them into an overlooked place. Unfold the air bag and face it up when putting away the air
bag modules.

15. After operation, check the electricity and confirms there is no mistake first, and then connect the air bag
module with the circuit.

16. No one should be inside the vehicle when connecting the air bag system to the power supply. When the
air bag ECU is not fixed, do not connect it to the power supply.

17. Check if the SRS warning lamp is normal after operation.

18. For the service life of the air bag is limited (see the operating instructions), replace the air bag and
labels when the air bag reaches its service life time.

Chapter IV Vehicle Air Conditioning System


Air conditioner is to regulate air, making a control of temperature and humidity in closed space. Air
conditioner in modern vehicle is used to improve driving conditions and make passenger fell more
comfortable. As vehicle air conditioner is designed for its passengers, it focuses on comfort degree, which
is determined by the feeling and reaction of people in the vehicle on temperature, humidity, air velocity,
oxygen content, noxious gas content, noise, pressure, smell, dust, bacterium and so on. Current vehicle air
conditioner creates good condition and environment in it to improve driver’s work efficiency and driving
safety through adjusting the environment in the vehicle to a most suitable condition. In order to achieve all
the standards mentioned above, current vehicle should obtain all the functions and the necessary devices
shown in Fig. 4-8. All the devices can be used alone, as well as cooperate with others to complete the air
adjusting task.

LIFAN sedan air conditioning system provides an air condition system with all the functions including
refrigeration, heating and ventilation service. In summer, air conditioner works to cool down the
temperature in the vehicle; while in winter, heating device works to keep warm and defrost the glasses.

Section I Structure and Principle of Air Conditioning System

The principle of LIFAN sedan cooling system is shown as Fig. 4-28. Refrigerant fluid takes away the heat
in the vehicle from vaporizer. Then it is changed into low-pressure and low-temperature steam. At last it
was pumped in compressor. Compressor compresses the steam into high-temperature and high-pressure gas,
and then emits it into condenser. The gas cools down with the effect of the air in condenser and becomes
fluid after giving out heat. Water could be filtered when the fluid goes through reservoir. Before it goes into
vaporizer, both the pressure and temperature of refrigerant would decrease with choking effect of
expansion valve. The refrigerant fluid with low temperature and low pressure would change into gas again
by absorbing the heat in the vehicle. Then the gas would be absorbed in compressor. Air conditioning
system works in a cycle to cool down the temperature.

Fig. 4-28 Refrigeration mechanism

I. Cooling system
LIFAN sedan cooling system is mainly formed by compressor, Vaporizer, condenser, drying chamber,
expansion valve, air-blower, control structure and so on, as shown in Fig. 4-29. Vaporizer is the core of the
cooling system with the temperature lower than dew point of air. So the cooling system also can provide
dehumidifying service and pure air.

1. Compressor
(1) Compressor function
Compressor is the corn instrument of cooling system, which is to pump, compress refrigerant and recycle
the process.
○1 Suction function. Compressor reduces the pressure of refrigerant in evaporation hose through suction

(work with expansion valve choking effect), to achieve the conversation process from fluid to gas and take
away heat in the vehicle through absorption of heat.
○2 Compression function. Compressor compresses the low-pressure refrigerant gas to increase its pressure

and temperature. This could change the refrigerant from gas to fluid and take heat out of the vehicle
through condenser.
○3 Circulating pump function of compressor. The circulation of refrigerant could be achieved through

ceaselessly suction and compression, so compressor is regard as the power source of refrigerant circulation.
(2) The structure of compressor:
As shown in Fig. 4-30, LIFAN sedan air conditioner adopts scroll air conditioner compressor for vehicle.

Fig. 4-30 Structure of compressor


1-Compressor 2-Magnetic clutch

2. Condenser
(1) Condenser function
Condenser is to take out the heat of high-temperature and high pressure refrigerant gas from compressor so
as to transform refrigerant into fluid.
(2) The structure of condenser:
Condenser introduces the parallel flow structure. It is installed in the front of engine radiator. It works
forcibly throught radiator fan and the wind blew into the vehicle. Its structure is similar with engine
radiator. Cooling plates are added to condenser wall to increase radiating area. Refer to Fig. 4-31.

Fig. 4-31 Condenser

(3) The working process of condenser


Divide refrigeration process into three stages:
○1 High-temperature refrigerant gas transforms into saturated steam. Over-hot refrigerant steam would
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
become saturated steam quickly by condenser pipe thermolysis.
② Saturated steam gas transforms into saturated fluid. During this process, the temperature will not change,
but large amount of heat would be emitted. Most heat generated in the circulation could be emitted in this
process.
③ Saturated fluid state refrigerant transform into saturated fluid. The temperature of saturate fluid state
refrigerant is higher than environment temperature, so the saturated fluid in condenser will be further
cooled.

3. Vaporizer
(1) The function of vaporizer:
Vaporizer could make the low pressure fluid state refrigerant change into steam by reducing pressure
process in expansion valve, and to cool down the temperature and achieve dehumidification effect in the
vehicle.
(2) The structure of vaporizer:
As shown in Fig. 4-32, vaporizer core of LIFAN sedan is installed inside the housing.

Fig. 4-32 Vaporizer


(3) The working process of vaporizer
After throttling and pressure reducing, refrigerant would change into saturate steam because of the low
pressure in vaporizer. During this process, both refrigerant pressure and evaporating temperature will not
change. The low temperature air around the vaporizer surface would be blowed into the vehicle to reduce
the temperature by air-blower.

4. Expansion valve
Expansion valve function:
Expansion valve could lower the pressure of high pressure refrigerant fluid by the choking effect. It can
automaticly adjust the refrigerant flow according to the temperature change of refrigerant flowed into
compressor. This could guarantee the refrigerant is gas before it flows into compressor.

5. Drying chamber
Drying chamber is used to absorb moisture, filter impurities and store refrigerant to make up the system
normal leakage.
Drying chamber is 1/3 of cooling system working medium volume. Silica gel desiccant is filled between
the two filters, and it could change color when it absorbs water.
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
II. Heating system
LIFAN sedan heating system supplies heat by water. Housings of fan heater and vaporizer are connected
together. And it shares air-blower and air duct with cooling system. Its structure is shown in Fig. 4-33.

Fig. 4-33 Heating system


1-Blower 2-Evaporizer 3-Heater

Warm air-blower draws engine cooling water into radiator inside the heater. Then air-blower would blow
the heat into the vehicle or window glass to improve the temperature inside the vehicle and defrost. Heat
exchanger is the main component in heating system.
Heat exchanger is installed inside the heating system housing. High temperature cooling water flows into
heat exchanger from inlet, then flows out to pump connected with engine. The high heat cooling water
flows in circulation in heat exchanger. The heat emitted by it is sent into the vehicle or windowpane
through air duct with the effect of air-blower. The flow of heat exchanger cooling water is adjusted by
thermostat next to engine outlet, while the supply air temperature is controlled by fan speed controller and
output temperature adjustment switch.

Air duct of heating air unit contains four ventilation doors.


(1) One external loop recycling ventilation door is to control fresh air and circulation air, as well as the
temperature.
(2) One temperature adjustment ventilation door
(3) Two vehicle air distribution ventilation door.
As shown in Fig. 4-34, all four doors of air doors are charged by air conditioner control panel.

Fig.4-34 Air conditioner control panel

Section II Air Conditioner Control System


Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
I. Fundamental components of air conditioner control system
Air conditioner control system consists of power control circuit, compressor clutch control circuit, safety
control circuit, air conditioner control circuit layout and so on.

1. Thermostat (temperature switch)


Thermostat is a temperature control switch component of vehicle air conditioning system. It works by
detecting the temperature of vaporizer surface.

2. Pressure switch
Air conditioning system has a two-state pressure switch.
(1) When the refrigerant pressure is low (OFF). When the refrigerant pressure is lower than spring pressure,
the mental plate will bounce under the force of spring, and then disconnect the up and low contacts (OFF).
(2) Normal working (ON). When the refrigerant pressure is higher than spring pressure, mental plate would
move down to press the up contact, and then connect the tow contacts (ON).
(3) Refrigerant pressure too high (OFF). When the refrigerant pressure continues to increase and the up
contact is already in the limit position, the slipper block moves and then the metal plate moves, which will
disconnect the up and low contacts (OFF).

3. Magnetic clutch
Air conditioning system compressor works with engine main shaft through magnetic clutch. Magnetic
clutch determines the start and close of compressor. Therefore, magnetic clutch is the implementation
component in air conditioner automatic system, and is controlled by temperature switch, pressure switch,
speed relay, power switch and so on.

4. Air conditioner blower control device


Air conditioner blower is controlled by two parts. First, it is controlled by the A/C switch of air conditioner
blower relay, which is to synchronize the start of air conditioning system and the system work. Or, start air
conditioner blower first, and then turn on the A/C switch. Second, it is controlled by air flow switch of air
conditioner. The switch could make blower work in different rotation speed. Meanwhile, the heat air can be
used separately without using the cold air.

5. Control and adjustment device


Air conditioner computer or amplifier receives the signals of temperature, pressure, speed and so on, and
controls compressor, cooling fan, air-blower, and idle speed and so on.

6. Improve Magnetic clutch in idle speed condition


Turning on air conditioner at idle speed would result in engine flameout, because low engine rotation speed
and power output could not provide enough power to drive air conditioning system. What’s more, engine
can only generates a little power at idle speed, which could not meet the power demand of air conditioner
motor and compressor magnetic clutch. And this process would consume the power of battery, and cause
trouble for engine restart. As a result, an idle speed control solenoid valve installation on the position of
throttle body to open the throttle valve in the certain degree could increase the engine speed while the
compressor is working.
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
7. Condensing fan relay
The relay is used to make condensing fan automaticly work when air conditioner switch is turned on.
Otherwise, the condensation temperature and pressure would be too high, and cooling system be destroyed.
Fan relay is controlled by cooling water temperature and A/C switch. Fan would work if one switch is
turned on.

II. Air conditioner control


1. Temperature control
The temperature control system consists of evaporator temperature sensor, air conditioner control box,
magnetic clutch and relevent circuits. Evaporator temperature sensor is a temperature characteristic
thermistor. When evaporator temperature changed, the resistance of sensor would also change to make air
conditioner control box receive the temperature corresponding to voltage signal. This signal would be
amplified with the effect of amplifier circuit in control box to control magnetic clutch relay. When
magnetic clutch relay turns on, compressor and magnetic clutch work together. Compressor works, air
conditioner works. When magnetic clutch relay turns off, compressor and magnetic clutch are disconnected,
compressor stops working, and air conditioner stops working.

2. Pressure control
Pressure control protects system working normally by pressure switch. Functions are shown below:
(1) Low pressure protection. When pressure <0.2MPa, disconnect the compressor.
(2) Over pressure protection. When pressure >3.14MPa, disconnect the compressor.
(3) Normal pressure. When pressure is 0.2MP-3.14MP, air conditioning system work normally.
(4) High pressure control. When pressure >0.17MPa, control fan rotating in high speed.

3. Engine cooling system (electric fan) control


Engine cooling system consists of water temperature sensor, water temperature control box, fan control
relay, electric fan switching relay and some related circuits. Control introductions are shown below:
(1) Water temperature at 93℃, radiator fan works.
(2) Water temperature at 96℃, condenser fan works.
(3) Water temperature at 110℃, disconnect the air conditioner and compressor circuit.
(4) When air conditioner switch is closed, condenser fan rotates in low speed.
(5) Cooling system pressure larger than 1.7MPa, electric fan rotates in high speed.
(6) If the water temperature signal is abnormal (water temperature sensor damaged), temperature control
box would think engine is in heavy load operation, and then make electric fan rotate in high speed.

Section III Air Conditioner Fault Diagnosis

I. Air conditioner fault diagnosis

1. Check by hand
You can check by your hands to touch the components and make diagnosis according to the temperature.
When you touch the high voltage loop (compressor outlet→condenser→reservoir→expansion valve inlet),
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
the temperature should be a little hot. If one part is especially hot or temperature at inlet and outlet are
different, it indicates the part is blocked. When you touch low voltage loop (expansion valve
outlet→evaporator→compressor inlet), the temperature should be a little cold. If the compressor high and
low voltage sides have no temperature difference, this indicates no refrigerant in system.

2. Appearance inspection
Check whether oil stain exists in pipe joints, compressor oil seal, condenser and evaporator surface. The oil
stained indicates leakage existed in system.

3. Inspection from sight window


As shown in Table 4-10, check refrigerant from observation window installed on the high pressure pipe. In
normal condition, refrigerant should be clear without bubble, and the wind out of the air conditioner should
be cold. If everything is in normal condition, except the air outlet is hot, all the refrigerant is leaked. If
refrigerant is clear with bubbles, and the wind out of the air conditioner is not cold, it indicates refrigerant
is not enough.

4. Inspection by pressure gauge


Check when air inlet temperature is 30℃-35℃, engine rotate speed is 2,000r/min. Adjust to largest air
speed, and the normal condition is: pressure in high pressure side should up to 1.420MPa-1.470MPa; low
pressure side should be 0.147MPa-0.196MPa. If the pressure isn’t within the range, it indicates faults
existed in the system.

II. Air conditioner fault analysis


We often analyze pressure in cooling system for fault diagnosis. Besides, cooling effect and refrigerant
leakage are also the important check items: cooling system fault analysis table is shown in Table 4-11.

Section IV Air Conditioning System Diagnosis Repair and Maintenance

I. Use and maintenance of air conditioner


1. Air conditioner notes
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
(1) When you use air conditioner,if the temperature is high in the vehicle, you should open the window.
And close the door when the hot air in the vehicle has been emitted;
(2) Close the doors and windows when using cooling function. This could reduce energy consumption to
achieve the needed temperature as soon as possible;
(3) In order to prevent air pollution inside the vehicle, you can open the window or vent to change air for a
while when you use a long time cool air;
(4) Choose a middle level engine speed when you make refrigeration during parking, which is good for
cooling and heat elimination;
(5) It is normal to find cooling water temperature a little high because of engine load increasing when
cooling system works;
(6) Make sure cooling system works once a week if it lay out for a long time, especially in winter. This
could protect compressor and seal with enough lubrication and make sure cooling system is always in an
optimal state;
(7) Make a regular inspection to engine, and make sure it works in order and prevent accumulator damage
because of over discharge.

2. Air conditioning system maintenance


(1) Routine maintenance
① Check compressor belt and its tension degree. Compressor belt abrasion, partial fracture or insufficient
tighten degree would affect the compressor normal work, or even result in cooling system stopping
working or refrigeration insufficiency. When belt is too loose or destroyed, remember to tighten or change a
new one.
② Check the connection between wire harness and linker. Short circuit, circuit break or poor contact of
wire harness and linker would affect the system normal work, even make the system stop working. Repair
or change once you find fault.
③ Check whether the pipe and joints have leak. Insufficient refrigerant is the main cause. Once you find
the leak point, fix it in time. Otherwise, it will affect system working.
④ Check whether the abnormal noise exists during system working. The abnormal noise is mostly from
compressor or clutch.
(2) Maintenance before using season:
① Check whether dust exists on the surface of condenser, evaporator. Clear it by water after removing the
dust, then blow it by compressed-air, if it is necessary.
② Check whether switches and electronic control system work normally. Repair or change once fault is
found.
③ Check whether the joints and fasteners are loose or broken. If it is necessary, change a new one or
tighten it.
④ Start work to check refrigerant, according to the steps below:
a. Inspection from sight window. Bubbles flow continuously, disappear or flow in state like moist, it
indicates refrigerant is seriously insufficient. If bubbles appear every 1-2 seconds, it indicates refrigerant is
insufficient. If bubbles appear when engine speed quickly changes, it indicates refrigerant is enough. No
bubble exists, it indicates refrigerant is excessive.
b. Check high and low pressure pipe side temperature. If there is no obvious difference between high, low
pressure pipe side temperatures, it indicates refrigerant is seriously insufficient. If high pressure side is
warm, low pressure side is cold, it indicates refrigerant is insufficient. If high pressure side is hot, low
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
pressure side is cold, it indicates refrigerant is enough. If high pressure side is abnormally hot, it indicates
refrigerant is excessive.
c. Check high and low pressure side pressure. If the pressure of high pressure side is abnormally low, it
indicates that refrigerant is seriously insufficient. If both sides pressure are a little low, it indicates that
refrigerant is insufficient. If both sides pressure is normal, it indicates refrigerant is enough. If both sides
pressure is over high, it indicates refrigerant is excessive.
(3) Maintenance after using season:
① Check out leak by detector. If leak exists, try to find the cause and repair it, then inject refrigerant.
② Check compressor belt and Belt pulley bearing. Replace it if there is damage or abnormal sound.
③ Check cooling oil. Add some more, if it is necessary.

3. Refrigerant leak inspection


First visually check the refrigerant leak. And you can use detector if it is necessary.
1. Refrigerant leak inspection
(1) First check the compressor. Check the compressor and magnet clutch joint part and find the leak place
by touch or wipe with white gloves.
a. Check whether clutch and O seal ring are lost or have leakage problem.
b. Check whether compressor cylinder head has leakage, and compressor tank has damage.
c. Check whether oil filler plug on the compressor and O type seal ring on maintenance intake have
leakage.
d. Check all joints and detect whether it has leakage.
2. Refrigerant leak detector inspection
(1) When you use electric leak detector, make sure the detection probe approach the dubitable place as far
as you can. The distance should be in the range of 3mm. Make sure the probe removal speed is within
30Imm/s. Before using, make sure that the device could work; power and voltage are correct; and probe is
clear. Otherwise the detection could be invalid.
(2) Pay attention when you use the flame type leak detector. Poison gas would be generated from substance
burning when leakage is detected. So the detection process should be operated in ventilation condition.

II. Air conditioning system maintenance


In order to make sure air conditioning system is used under a good condition, proper inspection and
maintenance are necessary, as shown in Fig. 4-13. You should make sure position of heating control knob
is coherent with the actions of air doors on heater and air-blower, because the cooling system and heating
system use the same air flue. What’s more, no control valve exists in radiator of heater.

Chapter VI Charge System


Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual

I. Generator structure and principle


Generator is the main power supply of a vehicle, and it generates electricity by pulley. When the generator
generates electricity normally, it not only supply the electro-equipments, but also the battery to ensure there
is enough electricity when starting the engine next time.

1. Generator composing
The generators of LIFAN sedans are adjuster inner installed silicon rectifier generators, mainly including
rotor (pole), stator (armature), rectifier, adjuster, brush and brush carrier. The generator composing is
shown in Fig. 4-43.

Fig. 4-43 Generator composing


1-Rotor 2- Stator 3-Silicon rectifier
4-Adjuster 5-Bearing and cap 6-Brush and brush carrier

(1) Rotor: Rotor is the pole of generator, with the effect that it can bring current through brush and slip
ring and create a revolving magnetic field. Rotor is made up of unguiform iron core and exciting winding
and the two slip rings on the axis of the rotor are connected with two ends of exciting winding.

(2) Stator: Stator is the armature of the generator, with the effect of producing faradism electromotive
force in the revolving magnetic field. The stator is also made of iron core and winding, with 3 windings
symmetrically installed, and connecting as a triangle.

(3) Silicon rectifier: The effect of silicon rectifier is to commute the three-phase alternating current made
by generator armature winding into direct current. The generator silicon rectifier of LIFAN sedans has 9
diodes, including 6 high-power diodes to form the three-phase bridge rectification circuit offering
rectification to generator, and 3 low-power diodes to form bridge rectification circuit offering magnetizing
current to exciting winding
(4) Adjuster: The effect of adjuster is to stabilize the pressure of the generator through adjusting
magnetizing current when the engine rev changed. The purpose is to ensure electro-equipments can work
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
normally. The adjuster is made up of molectron and a high-power audion.

(5) Brush and brush carrier: The functions of brush and brush carrier are to bring direct current in to
rotational exciting winding. Depended on the spring of the brush fame, the brush is contacted with the slip
ring on the rotor well.

2. Generator working principle


The generator circuit principle of LIFAN sedans is shown in Fig. 4-44.

Fig. 4-44 Generator circuit principle


1-Battery 2-Ignition switches 3-Charge indicator
4- Generator assembly 5-Adjustor 6-Brush and slip ring (linked with exciting winding)
7-High-power adjustor switch audion

(1) Power generation principle: The exciting winding of the generator brings direct current through brush
and slip ring. When the generator is running, there will be a revolving magnetic field within the generator.
And the stator winding installed symmetrically incises the magnetic line of force to create an, which is
shown in Fig. 4-45 (a).

(2) Commutating principle of rectifier: The three-phase bridge rectification circuit made up of VD1,
VD3, VD5, VD2, VD4 and VD6 commutes the three-phase alternating electromotive force created by
armature winding to be direct current to export to electro-equipments and accumulator (Fig. 4-45b). While
the three-phase bridge rectification circuit made up of VD7, VD8, VD9, VD2, VD4 and VD6 is mainly
used to offer magnetizing current to the exciting winding of the generator.

(3) Magnetizing mode of the generator: Before the generator builds the pressure, the accumulator will
offer magnetizing current (separate excitation) to the exciting winding through ignition switches, brush, slip
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
ring and adjuster (switch audion); when the generator achieves certain rotation speed, and the direct current
pressure accumulated by the generator is higher than the accumulator pressure, the three-phase bridge
rectification circuit made up of VD7, VD8, VD9, VD2, VD4 and VD6 offers magnetizing current
(self-excitation).

Fig. 4-45 Voltage fluctuation waveforms


a) Armature winding electromotive force
b) Voltage fluctuation waveforms after commuted

3. Adjuster working principle


(1) Effects of adjuster: The relation of the induction electromotive force created by the armature winding of
the generator, the rotation speed and the magnetic field strength is positive correlation, so the terminal
voltage after commuted, the rev and the magnetic field strength is positive correlation. When the generator
is running, the rotation speed is changed in a biggish extension, which makes the pressure change all the
time, and can’t fulfill the use requirements. The effects of the adjuster are to make the pressure stable
through adjusting the magnetic field strength, when the rev is changing.

(2) The stabilized voltage principle of the adjuster:The import of the adjuster brings to the pressure of the
generator, and the high-power audion of the adjuster is in series in the energizing loop of the generator (Fig.
4-44). Only if the audion is connected, the energizing loop would be connected. The adjusting process of
the adjuster as follows:
1) When the rotation speed is low and the pressure is lower than the designed pressure, the electron circuit
of the adjuster makes the high-power audion saturate and connect, and the exciting winding is connected to
offer magnetizing current by accumulator or the rectification circuit of the generator.
2) When the generator achieves certain rotation speed and the pressure of the generator achieves the
working pressure of the adjuster, the electron circuit makes the high-power audion stop and change
alternately all the time, and the pressure of the generator waves in a certain extension of up limited and
down limited (Fig. 4-46) to keep its average pressure in the design level.
3) when the rotation speed of the engine is up,the pressure of the engine is ascended fast and descended
slowly, which makes the connected time of the high-power audion of the adjuster reduced, and the stop
time is increased. It makes the average magnetizing current of the engine descended and the intensity of
magnetic field weaken, which makes the pressure of the engine keep stable. The rotation speed changing
condition of the pressure and magnetizing current with adjuster is shown in Fig. 4-47.

nmax- Rotation speed when the adjuster loses effect

4. Charge indicator working principle


When turn on the ignition switch but not start, the input end of the adjuster is the battery pressure, which is
lower than the adjusted pressure. Then the power transistor is connected to form a loop from the anode of
the battery to ignition switch, charge indicator, magnetic field winding, and large power transistor to the
ground circuit to light the charge indicator. When the engine is started and the pressure of the engine is
reached or upper than the pressure of battery, the two ends of the charge indicator are the terminal pressure
of the engine, which means the charge indicator has gone out for out of pressure, and indicates that the
generator is generating normally.
When the generator doesn’t work, the two ends of the charge indicator would be lighted which indicates
there is some fault in charge system.

5. Engine model and performance parameter of LIFAN sedans


The engine performance parameters are:
The standard pressure is 14V.
The regulation voltage is 13.5V-14.5V.

II. Frequent fault and troubleshooting


1. Charge indicator on all the time
When the engine is started, the charge indicator on the instrumentation panel is on all the time or the charge
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
indicator is on when the engine is running normally, which both indicate that there is a no charge fault in
the engine.
(1) Fault reasons: The possible fault reasons are the following:
1) Generator fault, for example there is short or turnoff or ground circuit in armature winding or generator
magnetizing field.
2) Adjuster fault, the interior electron components of the adjuster broken make the high-power audion not
connected.
3) Driving belt of the generator is loose. The generator isn’t running or the rotation speed is too low for the
skid of the driving belt.
(2) Troubleshooting: Check whether the driving belt is slip, and if it is normal, please check the generator
and adjuster.

2. Charge indicator off


When you turn on the ignition switch and the generator is running normally, but the charge indicator is off
all the time which indicates the charge system is not charging well or there is a not-charging fault.
(1) Fault reasons: The possible fault reasons are the followings:
1) The brush and slip ring of the generator is not connected well.
2) The interior electron components of the adjuster broken make the high-power audion not be connected
or the circuit of high-power audion open.
3) Short circuit in commutation diode
4) The circuit of charge indicator is turning off, for example, there is connecting problems among the fuse,
charge indicator, magnetic field wiring terminal and the ignition switch.
(2) Troubleshooting: The troubleshooting of not-light charge indicator are as follows:
1) When the ignition switch is not on, check the voltage to earth of the magnetic field wiring terminal of the
generator. The normal voltage should be 0. If there is battery voltage, it means that there is short of
commutation diode, you should dismantle and check the generator; if the voltage is 0, take the next check.
2) Check the voltage to earth of the magnetic field wiring terminal of the generator after switching on the
ignition switch. The normal voltage should be the battery voltage. If the pressure was 0 still, check the
circuit of charge indicator; if the voltage is 0, take the next check.
3) Dismantle and check whether the connection of the brush and slip ring is good or whether the magnetic
field winding is turning off, if there is no problem, please repair or change the adjuster.

3. Normal charge indicator but not charging of generator or charge fault


The charge indicator is on when turn on the ignition switch and can be off after the generator is started and
when the generator is running, but there is a decrease of electricity in battery soon.
(1) Fault reasons: The possible fault reasons are the followings:
1) Bad power generation of generator
2) Too low regulation voltage of the adjuster or faulty interior circuit
3) Bad connection of charge circuit from the generator to battery
4) Serious sulfuration of battery plate
5) Local action fault of battery or creepage of electric appliances and circuit
(2) Troubleshooting: Troubleshoot in the following steps:
1) Check the voltage to earth of the armature terminal stud with volts DC gear of multimeter. The normal
voltage should be battery voltage. If the voltage is 0, it means that the circuit from the armature terminal
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
stud to the battery is turning off, please check and repair; if the voltage is normal, do the next check. .
2) Start the generator to make the engine run at a medium speed. When the charge indicator is off, check
the earth pressure of the armature stud. If the pressure is battery voltage still, check and repair the generator
and adjuster; if the pressure increases, do the next check.
3) Check the output current and terminal voltage of the generator when the engine is running above
medium speed, which is shown in Fig. 4-48. If the voltage can be 13.8V-14.5V when the rotation speed of
the engine is raised and there is a biggish charge current indicated by the ampere meter, it means that the
generator and the adjuster are normal and the reason of a quick decrease of electricity in battery may be the
battery fault or creepage fault of electric appliances and circuit, please check them; if the voltage can
achieve 13.8V-14.5V quickly, but there is not charge current or little charge current, please check the
circuit from the armature terminal stud to the battery; if not, there may be a serious sulfuration of battery
plate.

Fig. 4-48 Check the fault of generator and charge circuit


1-Check the earth pressure of the armature terminal stud 2-Check the charge current of the engine
3-Ignition switches 4-Check the earth pressure of magnetic field stud

4. Too large charge current of the engine


The bulbs are easy to be burned, the temperature of the battery is too high and the electrolyte is used too
fast, which all mean the charge current of the engine is too large.
(1) Fault reason: too high regulation voltage of the adjuster or invalidation of the adjuster
(2) Troubleshooting: If you can ensure there are no other reasons that bulbs are easy to be burned, the
temperature of the battery is too high and the electrolyte is used too fast, you should dismantle the
generator and change the adjuster.

5. Unstable charge current


When the engine is running stably, the charge indicator is flashing or the intensity of illumination of the
headlights is changing at times when the lights are on in the night, which means the charge current of the
charge system is instable.
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
(1) Fault reasons: The reasons for unstable charge current are:
1) Bad connection of brush and slip ring
2) Bad pressure adjuster of the engine
3) Bad connection for a loose connection of the external circuit or the interior circuit
(2) Troubleshooting: Fix a headlight bulb between the armature terminal stud and the ground circuit (Fig.
4-49) to make the generator running in a medium speed. If the bulb is flashing still, it means that there is
bad connections in the interior circuit of the generator, the brush and lip ring or the pressure adjuster, you
should dismantle and check the generator; if the brightness is stable, the fault may be a loose connection in
output circuit of the generator or rust in contact surface, please check and repair it.

III. Check and repair the generator


1. Disassembly and decomposition of generator
(1) Disassembly of generator: After loosening the binding bolt on the front and rear brackets as well as the
tensioning brackets, you can disassemble the generator.

(2) Decomposition: The disassembly figure is Fig. 4-50, and the disassembly methods are as follows:
1) Disassemble the connecting bolt of the front and rear end closures, and dispart the front and rear end
closures and the pontes.
2) Tear down the end line joint of stator winding, and take out it from the rear end closure.
3) Tear down the binding nuts and bolts of the brush, and then take off the adjuster and the brush brackets
discreteness.

2. Rotor overhauling
(1) Common rotor fault:
1) The surface of slip ring smudged and ablated makes bad connection between brush and slip ring, also
cutout or decrease of magnetizing current, which leads to no generation or bad generation.
2) Short, open or ground circuit of magnetic field winding make the rotor can’t produce electromagnetic
field or a decrease of magnetic field, which leads to no or bad power generation.

(2) Check and repair methods are as follows:


1) Check whether the surface of the rotor is clean or not, if there is oil stain, you can clean it with a piece of
cloth wetted with gas; if there is burn or nick, you can burnish with “00” emery cloth.
2) Check whether there is open and short circuit in the rotor winding. Check the resistance between the two
slip rings with the ohms range of multimeter, which is shown in Fig. 4-51. The normal resistance value
should be about 3Ω. Too little resistance means short circuit in rotor winding, and the resistance value is ∞
means turnoff of rotor winding.

Fig. 4-51 Short of rotor winding


3) Check whether there is earth wire in rotor winding and measure the resistance between the slip ring and
the rotor bearing, which is shown in Fig. 4-52. The normal resistance should be disconnected. If it is
connected, it means that there is a short circuit fault in the winding or slip ring.
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
If there is fault in rotor winding, please change the rotor assembly.

Fig. 4-52 Ground circuit of rotor winding


3. Check and repair stator
(1) Common faults: short, open or ground circuit of armature winding leads to no or bad power generation.

(2) The check and repair methods are as follows:


1) Measure the resistance between the line ends of stator winding with the ohms range of multimeter to
check whether there is open circuit in stator winding (Fig. 4-53). The normal condition is closed circuit, or
it means there is turnoff in the winding, please change the stator.

Fig. 4-53 Check the turnoff of stator winding

2) Measure the resistance between the line end of the stator winding and the iron core with the ohms range
of multimeter to check whether there is ground circuit in stator winding (Fig. 4-54). The normal condition
should be unconnected. If the closed circuit or the resistance is less than 50MΩ, it means that there is a
ground circuit fault or bad insulation, and you should change the stator.

Fig. 4-54 Ground circuit overhauling of stator winding

4. Check and repair brush and brush carrier


(1) Common fault:
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
1) Overweared brush makes bad connection between the brush and slip ring as the contact pressure
decreased, also cut or decrease of magnetizing current, which leads to no or bad power generation.
2) Invalidated spring in the brackets makes bad connection between the brush and slip ring as the contact
pressure decreased, also cut or decrease of magnetizing current, which leads to no or bad power generation.
3) Distortion of the bracket or dunghill in the bracket trough makes the brush blocked, and bad connection
with slip ring, which leads to no generation or bad generation.

(2) Check and repair methods are as follows:


1) Check the length of the brush. If the exposed part between the brush and bracket is less than 5mm, it
means that the brush has been overweared, and the brush should be changed.
2) Check whether the brush can slip freely in the brush bracket, or whether the brush has a certain spring
pressure. If there is bad condition, please change it.

5. Rectifier overhauling
(1) Common fault: short and turnoff of commutation diode leads to bad generation or no generation.
(2) Check and repair: measure the forward and reverse resistance of each commutation diode with the
resistance range of multimeter. The normal condition is that the difference is very big. If the forward and
reverse resistance of some commutation diode is ∞, it means that there is a turnoff in the diode; if the
forward and reverse resistance is 0, it means there is a short in the diode. You should change the rectifier in
both conditions.

6. Assembly and installation


The generator must be assembled and installed in the opposite order of decomposition and disassembly.
When install the bearing, you should smear the lube on it.

7. Performance check of generator and adjuster


(1) Output current check methods are as follows:
1) Check whether the battery is charging. If it is undercharging, you should makeup. This check must be
done under the condition of full charging.
2) If you turn on the ignition switch, charge indicator is on and start the engine, charge indicator is off, and
then you can take the next performance check of the generator. Or there is fault in the charge system, you
should solve it.
3) Connect a voltmeter, an ampere meter and a rheostat into the output circuit of the generator, which is
shown in Fig. 4-55.
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual

Fig. 4-55 Performance check of generator and adjuster


1-Voltmeter 2-Ignition switch 3- Rheostat
4- Ampere meter 5-Charge indicator

4) When the engine is in a normal work temperature, make the rotation speed of the engine stable in
2,000r/min, 3,000r/min, and 4,000r/min. Adjust the resistor in the stable-rotation speed condition to make
the terminal voltage is 13.5V, and then check the output current. The output current in stable-rotation speed
condition is shown in Table 4-15.
If it can’t achieve the value listed in the Table 4-15, please check and repair the generator.

Table 4-15 Output current when the terminal voltage is 13.5

Rotation speed (r/min) 2,000 3,000 4,000


Terminal voltage (V) 13.5 13.5 13.5
Level 8 49 62 68
Output current (A)
Level 9 62 76 83

(2) Performance check methods of adjuster are as follows:


1) Connect the voltmeter and rheostat according to Fig. 4-55.
2) Adjust the rheostat to 0 (R=∞), and cut off all the electro-equipments.
3) In the condition that the battery is full charged and the engine achieves its normal work temperature,
make the rotation speed of the engine stable in 5,000r/m, and then pay attention to the pressure indicated by
voltmeter.
If the pressure is more than 14.7V, it means that the adjuster is performed badly or damaged fully, please
change it.
8. Notes in generator check and repair
(1) When the engine is running, please don’t cut off the cable of the battery to avoid burning out the
commute diode and damaging other electron components caused by excessive pressure.
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
(2) When the generator is running, please don’t check the generation of the generator by the way of
spurting fire, which may damage the commute diode.
(3) Please cut off the connection between the commute diode and armature winding first, if you check the
insulation performance of the armature winding with the alternating light of 220V and megohmmeter.
Otherwise it will damage the commute diode.
(4) Do not turn on the ignition switch for long time in the condition of the off engine, because the battery
will discharge the magnetic field winding continuously, which not only wastes the energy of the battery,
but also may damage the magnetic field winding.

Part VI
Vehicle Body Service

Chapter I Vehicle Body


Section I Structure and Features of Vehicle Body

Integral body structure is adopted in LIFAN sedan. And the body of hatchback model LF7132 is steel with
5 doors. As a combination of practicality and elegance, the modern beauty originates from the elegant body
framework and streamline shape with decoration of large angle window. Impact effect is considered during
the front engine bay and hatchback door designs, and the strength and rigidity of the passenger
compartment can guarantee the safety of the passengers in the vehicle.

I. Body structure
The body of LIFAN sedan is composed of body framework, exterior assembly parts and interior assembly
parts. (This chapter is mainly to focus on the body framework.)
As the basic part of the vehicle, the body framework (body-in-white assembly) carries the whole weight of
the vehicle. The performance, quality and reliability of the vehicle are closely related to the body
framework, and its quality plays an important role in the modern manufacturing.

Fig. 6-1 Body framework


Fig. 6-1 is the illustration of vehicle body of LF7132, and the breakdown drawing is shown in Fig. 6-2.
Most parts of the body framework are welded except that some parts like front wing is connected with bolt.

II. Features of vehicle body


1. Beautiful shape with small coefficient of air resistance
The streamline design of the vehicle body of LF7132 contributes to the beautiful shape and small cd value
of coefficient of air resistance.

2. Reasonable design of the whole vehicle body with reliable safety


The body design of LF7132 sedan provides the best protection for the passengers and the vehicle under
emergent situations. During computer assisted design of the vehicle body, the passenger compartment is
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
ultimately optimized in its rigidity, adding its strong vehicle body. The vehicle body bottom is reinforced
with 3 beams and 4 girders and connected to the metal plate of the whole compartment. Integral shock
resistance structure is used for the side wall of vehicle body, reinforcement bar is installed inside the door,
and the roof is also reinforced with steel bar. Besides, a safety area to absorb impact energy is also designed
the front metal plate of the vehicle. Both strong and soft parts are adopted in the vehicle body. As a result,
the LF7132 sedan can guarantee the integrality of the passenger compartment during any kind of hit or
overturn from any direction, which can effectively protect the driver and passenger in the vehicle. The
impact test of LF7132 can demonstrate its safety.

3. Good noncorrosibility of vehicle body with long service life


Thanks to the following corrosion prevention measures, its excellent noncorrosibility prolongs the service
life of the body vehicle.

(1) Strict and advanced processing technology before painting is adopted. For example, 11 working
procedures of parkerizing are carried out before painting so that a thin zinc phosphate film is coated, which
is useful for the adherence of next dope and can protect the surface of the vehicle body.
(2) The vehicle body is immediately painted with priming after cathodic electrophoretic coating processing,
which can greatly improve its antisepsis ability.
(3) Anti-stone-bumping PVC is coated on the underbody and wheel shield to effectively prevent corrosion
in the surface of the vehicle body caused by sandrock damage and road surface scuffing.
(4) Sealant is coated in the weld seam of vehicle body metal sheets to improve its antisepsis ability.

4. Comparatively economical light vehicle body


Lightweight design is adopted for the vehicle body to reduce the deadweight of the vehicle. The main
measures are as following:
(1) Use light material as much as possible, such as plastics and other nonmetal materials.
(2) High strength steel plate is selected so that its steel plate is thinner than other vehicles and fewer
materials are used.
(3) Resistance welding is extensively used to reduce the weld material consumption.

5. Reliable seal
As the seal is crucial for dust prevention, water prevention, antisepsis, heat prevention, heat preservation,
noise reduction and other performances, the seal of vehicle body of LIFAN sedan is carefully considered.
Various effective seal measures are adopted to guarantee its sealing performance. The main measures are as
following:
(1) Electric seal gum is coated on the overlap edge when the metal parts are welded.
(2) All the overlap edges of vehicle body are coated with seal gum after the assembly welding is finished.
(3) Polystyrene foam is sprayed in the closed cavity of the body framework to seal, prevent dust, preserve
heat and insulate heat.
(4) Thick anti-stone-bumping dope with excellent sealing performance is sprayed on the underbody.
(5) Traditional sealing measures are adopted for the assembly parts on the vehicle body, such as rubber seal
ring, cover stem, rubber strip and dustproof cover.

6. Large vehicle body space utilization rate


As LIFAN sedan is hatchback with 5 doors, and the rear seat can be folded, its internal capacity is the
largest, or the space utilization rate is the largest if compared with the sedans with the same length. And
this can also be very useful for the passenger to place the luggage.

the vehicle body on the plummer, lift the vehicle to the appropriate position and then diagnose and examine
the vehicle (Fig. 6-5). The universal vehicle body and frame straightener can rectify the shapes of various
vehicles. Different from the traditional rectification method, its application can lower the labor intensity,
improve the vehicle body repair efficiency and guarantee the repair quality. As a result, this kind of
universal vehicle body and frame straightener is highly praised and widely accepted in the international
vehicle repair industry.

(2) Roll flattening machine As a popular flattening machine among the numerous leveling equipments, roll
flattening machine (Fig. 6-6) is used to flatten the surface of metal plate so as to improve its surface
precision. When working the metal plate is clamped between the two rollers which are to drive the metal
plate to repeat parallel movement continuously for flattening purpose. The repeated back and forth rolling
of the rollers is driven by the piston rod spline and gear system. In order to guarantee the flattening quality
of the metal plate surface, the surface of the roller should be highly precisely smooth.

Fig. 6-6 Roll flattening machine Fig. 6-7 Polishing method of polisher
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
Apart from its stability and much higher efficiency, the roll flattening machine is also featured with more
reasonable machinery processing technic, higher precision, better quality, lower labor intensity and lower
noise than the manual beating with hammer. However, it still can not completely replace the manual
hammer beating.
(3) Disk polisher. There are electric and pneumatic disk polishers which are to polish the metal plate of the
vehicle body after repair with higher efficiency and easier operation than the manual polishing. The contact
angle between the polishing disk and polishing surface affects greatly the polishing quality of the metal
plate. As a result, 1/3 of the disk surface should contact with the polishing surface (Fig. 6-7) to get the best
polishing quality. If the contact angle is too large, only an extremely small part of the disk can rub with the
polishing surface, which will cause rough processed surface; and if the disk contacts with the surface
parallelly, scraggly processed surface will be produced as the movement will not be stable for too large
rotation resistance.

Section IV Touch-up Paint


Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual

The touch-up paint procedures for LIFAN sedans are mainly as follows:
(1) Remove the wax and oil
(2) Phosphatization
(3) Soak cleaning
(4) Wash to get rid of hydronium
(5) Paint primer
(6) Drying
(7) Coat some parts with lacquer putty
(8) Drying
(9) Polish the lacquer putty
(10) Clean
(11) First finish paint
(12) Leave it for volatilization
(13) Drying
(14) Second finish paint
(15) Leave it for volatilization
(16) Drying

Pay attention to the following points during touch-up paint


(1) After thoroughly wash the metal surface with the solution for removing wax and grease, dry it with
glutinous cloth (Glutinous cloth is made of hopsacking infused with special varnish.). The dust and particle
will be cleaned when wiping the surface.
(2) Use lacquer putty matched with the primer.
(3) Use No. 280-320 sand paper for polishing and No. 400-600 sand paper for levigation, and sander with
gasket is preferred. Manual polishing is also acceptable if sander is not available. As the appearance and
lifetime of paint is decided by the preparation before painting, lacquer putty is coated and the polishing
must be careful and thorough.
(4) When painting, mix the paint to appropriate viscosity (usually 15s-35s). And the pressure intensity of
the compressed air is usually 300kPa-600kPa, and the distance between nozzle and surface of vehicle body
20mm-300mm. The paint flow should be vertical to the surface of vehicle body and move at uniform speed
of 10m/min-12m/min. The brim of paint strip should overlap the1/3-1/2 of former one.

Chapter II Screen Wiper and Washer


The front windshield of the sedan is equipped with screen wiper and washer to maintain a clear visual for
the driver and guarantee the safety of the vehicle. They can wipe off the water drop and dew and wash the
dust on the windshield. The structure is as follows:

I. Structure of screen wiper and washer of front windshield


The screen wiper and washer of front windshield are composed of connecting rod mechanism, wiper arm,
blade, motor, washing bottle, water inlet pipe, cover, washer nozzle, washer hose, electric washing motor
assembly, etc. It can work intermittently, slowly, quickly and work simultaneously with the washer.

II. Fault diagnosis and repair of screen wiper and washer


The regular faults of screen wiper and washer are wiper blade no movement, wiper blade wrong stop
position, wiper blade shaking, washer no fluid spray, etc.

1. Wiper blade no movement


(1) The reasons for no response of wiper when the switch is on are:
1) Circuit fault, such as blowout, poor contact or open circuit;
2) Timing relay damaged;
3) Transmission mechanism damaged;
4) Motor damaged.
(2) Fault diagnosis and repair
1) Check the fuse and circuit, and repair and replace it if an open circuit is detected. Proceed to the next
step if there is no problem.
2) Check if the voltage to earth of power terminal is the same as the voltage of the battery. If there is no
voltage, recheck carefully the circuit before the switch; and if the voltage is normal, proceed to the next
Ver:LF-20121225
LIFAN320 Service manual
step.
3) Check the voltage to earth of switch output terminal when the switch is on. If there is no voltage, the
switch is broken and should be replaced; if the voltage is normal, the switch is normal and proceed to the
next step.
4) Touch the motor when the switch is on. If there is no response from the motor, the motor may be broken.
Repair or replace the motor. If there is slight vibration or buzz sound from the hot motor, the transmission
mechanism may be jammed or broken, and should be diagnosed and repaired.

2. Wiper blade wrong stop position


(1) The main reasons for this fault are:
1) Abrasion or deformation of part of transmission mechanism.
2) Bad motor stop device.
(2) Fault diagnosis and repair: Check transmission mechanism. If there is no problem, remove and check
the motor.

3. Wiper blade shaking


(1) The main reasons for wiper blade shaking are:
1) Wiper blade aging, bending or inappropriate angle to the glass.
2) Abnormal working condition of transmission mechanism.
3) Window glass to dirty.
(2) Diagnosis and repair: First check if there is dunghill on the window glass and wiper blade is normal. If
both of them are normal, diagnose and repair the transmission mechanism.

4. Washer no fluid spray


(1) The main reasons for this fault are:
1) No cleaning solution in washing bottle, fluid pipe broken or nozzle blocked.
2) Washer pump circuit is open.
3) Washer pump broken.
(2) Fault diagnosis and repair: First check if there is cleaning solution in washing bottle, if the hose is
broken and if the nozzle is blocked. If there is no problem for all of them, check if the washer pump circuit
is open. And if there is no problem for the circuit, diagnose and repair the washer pump.
