The URAL truck is a very reliable vehicle and rarely fails. But even she sometimes has breakdowns. There is a very unpleasant situation when the URAL engine stalls and does not want to start. At the same time, a message with a corresponding description of the fault code appears on the instrument panel display. But there are exceptions when errors are not displayed. Our company’s specialists have accumulated solid experience in diagnosing and repairing the described faults. There are two radically different options for not starting the engine:
- When you turn the key in the ignition, the starter cranks the excavator engine
- The starter does not turn on and does not turn the engine
I will try to tell you in more detail about each of the options for equipment malfunction.
Preheater
► Malfunction: Overheating of the heater boiler, water escaping through the filler neck of the heater
Probable cause: Formation of ice plugs in the supply pipes due to non-compliance with the instructions for completely draining the water or improper use of the heater. No circulation
Remedy: Warm the pipes by periodically turning the heater on and off at intervals of 2-3 minutes, pouring hot water over the outside of the pipes
► Malfunction: The heater does not start
Probable cause:
The electric motor of the pump unit does not rotate:
- freezing of the fan impeller due to incomplete removal of water from it after washing the car or fording
Remedy: Warm the fan and liquid pump housing using improvised means
Probable cause:
The electric motor of the pump unit does not rotate:
- freezing of the liquid pump impeller due to non-compliance with the instructions for draining water from the cooling system.
Remedy: Warm the fan and liquid pump housing using improvised means
Probable cause: Open circuit in the high voltage source
Remedy: Check and tighten the terminal connections of the current supply wires
Probable Cause: High voltage source is not working
Remedy: Disconnect the high voltage wire and secure its end at a distance of 3-5 mm from the ground of the car, if there is no spark when turning on the spark plug, replace the high voltage source
Probable cause: Spark plug not working
Remedy: Clean or replace spark plug
Probable cause: The solenoid valve does not operate (there is no click when the solenoid valve is turned on). The fuel filter in the solenoid valve or injector is clogged. Injector is clogged.
Remedy: Disassemble the nozzle, wash the parts in kerosene or acetone. Assemble the nozzle and check the quality of atomization without screwing the nozzles into the burner
► Malfunction: The heater smokes or throws out flames
Probable cause: Fuel pump adjustment is out of order
Remedy: Reduce fuel consumption by adjusting the fuel pump pressure reducing valve
Probable cause: Low speed of the electric motor shaft
Remedy: Charge the battery, check the serviceability of the electric motor
► Malfunction: Prolonged warm-up of the engine, unstable combustion of the heater
Probable cause: Low fuel supply due to clogged injector filter, leaking fuel lines, improper fuel pump adjustment
Method of elimination: Wash the filters, injector, and eliminate leaks in the fuel lines. Adjust the fuel pump pressure reducing valve
Brakes do not light up Ural 4320
The main task of diagnosing a machine can be called identifying breakdowns of the Ural-4320 brake system and correcting them in a timely manner.
Let's consider the sequence of monitoring the state indicator of the braking system of the Ural-4320 vehicle:
- Loosen the nuts securing the wiring to the brake status indicator switch slightly;
- Unscrew the indicator switch from the pneumatic amplifier;
- Tighten the nuts securing the wires;
- Turn on the devices;
- Connect the switch housing to vehicle ground and press the button as far as possible.
If the control indicator lights up, then the status indicator is working properly. You need to do the same with the other status indicator switch. If the indicator does not light up, it should be replaced.
In addition, it is necessary to check the operation of the pneumatic drive on the Ural-4320 machine. You should proceed as follows:
- Control pressure gauges must be connected to the control output valves;
- Fill the pneumatic system with air until the pressure regulator operates.
It is worth remembering that in operating brake drive circuits, pressure fluctuations are permissible in the range from 650 to 800 kilopascals. The pressure on the control and two-pointer pressure gauges should be similar. By systematically monitoring the main components of the braking system, you can prevent frequent breakdowns and malfunctions. If you were unable to avoid this, you should carry out diagnostics, buy Ural spare parts and repair the breakdown.
We propose to consider the main breakdowns of the braking system:
- Air tanks fill very slowly. More often, the cause of such a malfunction can be damage to the cylinder and the appearance of cracks.
- The air cylinders of the third and fourth circuits are not completely filled. This may be caused by a faulty double safety valve or a clogged pipeline.
- The air cylinders of the first and second circuits are not completely filled. This may be caused by a clogged triple valve and piping, or a lack of clearance in the triple safety valve.
- The cylinders on the trailer are not completely filled. More often, such a breakdown occurs due to a breakdown of the trailer brake control units.
- Excessive or insufficient pressure in the air cylinders of the primary and secondary circuits. Here it is necessary to adjust the operation of the pressure regulator and check the operation of the two-pointer pressure gauge.
- The brake pedal is faulty. This may be caused by poor adjustment of the brake valve, a malfunction of the pressure limiting valve, or a breakdown of the brake valve, an incorrectly mounted brake valve regulator drive, as well as excessive stroke of the brake chamber rods.
- Parking and emergency brakes are faulty. The breakdown may be caused by a malfunction of the accelerator valve, emergency brake release valve, excessive stroke of the chamber rods, or an incorrectly mounted brake valve regulator drive.
- The vehicle will not release the parking or emergency brake. Such a breakdown can be caused by an air leak from the third circuit, a faulty bearing of the thrust energy accumulator, or a breakdown of the output of the atmospheric acceleration valve.
- When using the additional braking system, braking is not possible. This may be caused by a malfunction of the pneumatic valve that triggers the additional brake, or a breakdown of the solenoid valve or dampers.
- Oil penetrates into pneumatic systems. In this case, it is necessary to check the piston rings, as well as the compressor cylinders.

Troubleshooting Ural-4320
Ural-4320 This is a very reliable machine, and the electrical equipment is made with high quality and professionalism.
Malfunction: Turn signals do not work.
First of all, we check the fuse, which is not located on the fuse panel, but is cleverly hidden in a bundle of wires not far from the emergency light button, we check it.
If the fuse is intact, then we disconnect the turn relay, usually PC951 and its modifications, and check the turn circuits.
Checking the circuit is as follows: you just need to apply positive power to the right side of the turns and if there is no short circuit in it, then it will light up and check the left side in the same way.
If a short circuit is detected in any of the circuits, then it needs to be found and eliminated. Possible places for the short circuit are: turn signals (or rather, the wires going to them often fray and short out on the fender), an incorrectly inserted light bulb shorting to ground in the turn signal itself , a wire fell out in the connecting block under the hood, well, the dirtiest thing, but as a rule, it breaks and shorts there very often, this is in the bundle that goes along the frame to the rear corners.
Steering
► Malfunction: Unstable vehicle movement, steering wheel free play more than 25°
Probable cause: Wear of the worm-sector pair. Wear of the rack-sector pair
Remedy: Adjust the amount of side clearance between the teeth of the worm and the sector, the rack and the sector
Probable cause: Wear of steering rod joint parts, splined bushings of the steering cardan drive
Remedy: Replace worn parts with new ones, lubricate spline joints
Probable Cause: Loose steering gear
Remedy: Tighten the crankcase mounting bolts
► Fault: “Heavy” steering
Probable cause: Insufficient oil level in the steering hydraulic system reservoir
Remedy: Add oil to the required level
Probable cause: Presence of air or water in the system (foam in the tank, cloudy oil)
Remedy: Remove the air. If air is not removed, check the tightness of all connections, remove and wash the strainer, and check the integrity of the gasket under the manifold. Check the tightness of the manifold mounting bolts and, if all of the above does not resolve the problem, change the oil
Probable Cause: Insufficient pump drive belt tension
Remedy: Tension the belt
Probable cause: Pump does not provide required flow and pressure
Remedy: Check the pump
Probable cause: Increased oil leakage in the switchgear, scuffing on the spool bearing surfaces
