Fuse for vehicle with EPS

The vehicle with EPS has EPS fuse (80A) 
mounted to the positive (+) terminal of the 
battery not in the fuse box.

EPS unit

The ECU controls the electric power 
steering system depending on the driving 
conditions, based on the signals from the 
torque and angle sensor.

HECU (Hydraulic & Electronic Control Unit)

HECU for ABS

HECU for EPS

The HECU (Hydraulic & Electronic Control Unit) determines the slip conditions of vehicle wheels by 
calculating each wheel's speed and the increment/decrement of speed based on the information 
detected by the sensors, and controls the pumping and boosting/reducing/keeping pressure by 
operating the valve and motor of HECU.

Steering wheel angle sensor (SWAS)

The steering wheel angle sensor is mounted between 
the steering column and the steering column shaft. It is 
commonly used by the ESP (Electronic Stability 
Program) system. And it receives signals of the steering 
wheel angle sensor from the ESP HECU (Hydraulic & 
Electronic Control Unit).

G-sensor(4WD, ABS)

For the vehicle with the ABS, a speed difference 
between the wheels is not noticeable as all the 
wheels are slipping during abrupt braking. 
Therefore, the vehicle needs the speed information 
from other sensors other than the wheel speed 
sensor. The longitudinal acceleration sensor (G-
sensor) is used for this case. It controls the ABS by 
using the signals from the sensor during abrupt 
braking and acceleration.

TCU unit

The transmission control unit (TCU) is installed under 
the driver seat, and controls the transmission. The 
TCU is operated by the ignition power supply and 
receives and processes the following information from 
the inner sensors through CAN buses.

E-coupling unit

The E-coupling unit is a control unit which 
determines the magnetic force by 
considering CAN signals (wheel speed, 
engine torque, pedal opening, ABS/ESP 
CAN signals, etc.) from other ECUs.

TGS Lever assembly

The TGS communicates with TCU 
(Transmission Control Unit), ECU, 
ESP HECU and instrument cluster 
to let the driver select the desired 
transmission gear and to maintain 
the desired driving condition. Also, 
the tip switch is installed on the 
lever knob and the steering wheel 
so that the driver select the gear 
manually when the shift lever is in 
"M".

Sensor cluster

The sensor cluster is linked to 
the sensors on the unit board 
and CAN interface. And they 
are housed in one case and 
mounted to the body.

A/T assembly

Automatic transmission is available as 4WD- and 2WD-type, 
and provides 6 speeds for forward travel and 1 reverse 
travel. It is also equipped with the torque converter with inner 
lock-up clutch and electronically controlled solenoid which 
controls all hydraulic functions.

3. CHASSIS COMPONENT LAYOUT

PTU (Power Transfer Unit)

The PTU is a device that transfers the power 
generated from the engine to the rear axle through 
propeller shaft and E-coupling by changing the power 
flow direction by 90° in the front wheel drive type 
4WD vehicle.

Rear axle assembly

The rear axle installed in this car is a removable 
axle, called IRDA (Independent Rear Differential 
Axle). The rear differential carrier is installed 
directly on the sub frame, and there is an 
independent suspension that allows each wheel 
on the same axle to move vertically independently 
of each other with the universal joint and the slip 
joint.

E-coupling control unit (E-Coupling ECU)

The E-coupling unit is a control unit which determines 
the magnetic force by considering CAN signals (wheel 
speed, engine torque, pedal opening, ABS/ESP CAN 
signals, etc.) from other ECUs.

M6LF1 manual transmission

M6LF1 manual transmission is a model modified from the 
one that used in other vehicle so that it can be applied to FF 
(Front engine-Front wheel driving) type vehicle, and has an 
axle in one piece. The engine torque and gear ratio of this 
transmission have been optimized to maximize driving 
performance. It provides 6 speeds for forward travel and 1 
reverse travel.

Clutch assembly

M6LF1 manual transmission is a model modified from the 
one that used in other vehicle so that it can be applied to FF 
(Front engine-Front wheel driving) type vehicle, and has an 
axle in one piece. The engine torque and gear ratio of this 
transmission have been optimized to maximize driving 
performance. It provides 6 speeds for forward travel and 1 
reverse travel.

The 2WD vehicle with manual transmission is a front wheel drive type vehicle that doesn't have PTU, 
propeller shaft, E-coupling and rear axle which are applied to 4WD vehicle. Its under structure is very 
simple.
