Hyundai Kona: Coupling Assembly / Direct Electro Hydraulic Actuator Coupling Repair procedures

Hyundai Kona (OS) 2018-2023 Service Manual / 4 Wheel Drive (4WD) System / Coupling Assembly / Direct Electro Hydraulic Actuator Coupling Repair procedures

Inspection

•	All units are filled up with coupling fluid (ultra-low viscosity ATF) prior to shipping. Inspection, fill-up, and replacement of coupling fluid is therefore not necessary (zero maintenance, lifetime fluid).

Removal

Remove the 4WD coupling assembly bolts (A-3ea) mounted to the rear propeller shaft (B).

Tightening torque :

49.0 - 63.7 N.m (5.0 - 6.5 kgf.m, 36.1 - 47.0 lb-ft)

2.	Using a flat tool, separate the propellar shaft from 4WD coupling assembly.

3.	Disconnect the pressure sensor connector (A) and Oil hydraulic motor connector (B).

4.	Loosen the coupling assembly mounting bolts (A-4ea).

Separate the 4WD coupling assembly (B) from the rear differential assembly using a rigid rod.

Tightening torque :

58.8 - 63.7 N.m (6.0 - 6.5kgf.m, 43.3 - 47.0lb-ft)

Maintain the coupling at a horizontal level.

•	Refer to the handling caution level (A) when servicing the coupling (removal, installation, replacement, etc.).

•	Always maintain a horizontal posture.

Installation

To install, reverse the removal procedure.

•	Smear the splines (A) with molybdenum type high pressure grease.

•	When install the coupling, be careful not to damage the oil seal (B).

2.	After replacing the coupling, reset the 4WD ECU's clutch learing using the GDS tool. (Refer to 4WD Control System - "Repair procedure")
