1. INSPECT REFRIGERANT VOLUME Check the sight glass on the liquid tube. Test conditions: Engine is running at 1,500 rpm. Blower speed control switch is at HI. A/C switch is ON. Temperature control switch is at the MAX. COOL position. Doors are fully open. Item Symptom Amount of Refrigerant Corrective Procedures 1 Bubbles visible Insufficient* (1) Check for gas leakage and repair if necessary (2) Add refrigerant until bubbles disappear 2 No bubbles visible Empty, insufficient or too much Refer to items 3 and 4 3 No temperature difference between compressor inlet and outlet Empty or nearly empty (1) Check for gas leakage with halogen leak detector and repair if necessary (2) Add refrigerant until bubbles disappear 4 Considerable temperature difference between compressor inlet and outlet Correct or too much Refer to items 5 and 6 5 Immediately after A/C is turned OFF, refrigerant becomes clear Too much (1) Drain or discharge refrigerant (2) Bleed air and supply proper amount of purified refrigerant 6 Immediately after A/C is turned OFF, refrigerant foams and then becomes clear Correct - HINT: *: If the ambient temperature is higher than usual but cooling is sufficient, bubbles in the sight glass are permissible.
2. INSPECT REFRIGERANT PRESSURE WITH MANIFOLD GAUGE SET This method uses a manifold gauge set to locate problem areas. Read the manifold gauge pressure when these conditions are established. Temperature at the air inlet is 30 to 35°C (86 to 95°F). Engine is running at 1,500 rpm. All doors are fully open. Blower speed control switch is at HI. Temperature control switch is at MAX. COOL. A/C switch is ON. Gauge readings (Reference) Normally functioning refrigeration system Gauge reading Pressure side Refrigerant volume Low 0.15 to 0.25 MPa (1.5 to 2.5 kgf/cm 2 ) High 1.37 to 1.57 MPa (14 to 16 kgf/cm 2 ) The A/C system periodically changes between normal and improper function due to moisture in the refrigerant system. Symptoms Probable Cause Diagnosis Corrective Actions During operation, pressure on low-pressure side cycles between normal and vacuum Moisture in refrigeration system freezes at expansion valve orifice, causing temporary stop of cycle. However, when melted, normal state is restored - Drier is overly saturated - Moisture in refrigeration system freezes at expansion valve orifice and blocks refrigerant circulation 1. Replace cooler drier 2. Remove moisture from cycle by repeatedly evacuating air 3. Supply appropriate volume of new refrigerant The A/C system does not function effectively due to insufficient cooling. Symptoms Probable Cause Diagnosis Corrective Actions - Pressure low on both low and high-pressure sides - Cooling performance insufficient Gas leakage from refrigeration system - Insufficient refrigerant - Refrigerant leakage 1. Check for gas leakage and repair if necessary 2. Supply appropriate volume of new refrigerant 3. If indicated pressure value close to 0 when connected to gauge, create vacuum after inspecting and repairing location of leakage The A/C system does not function effectively due to poor circulation of the refrigerant. Symptoms Probable Cause Diagnosis Corrective Actions - Pressure low on both low and high-pressure sides - Frost exists on piping from condenser to A/C unit Refrigerant flow obstructed by dirt in condenser Condenser clogged Replace condenser The A/C system does not function intermittently because the refrigerant does not circulate. Symptoms Probable Cause Diagnosis Corrective Actions - Vacuum indicated on low-pressure side, and extremely low pressure indicated on high-pressure side - Frost or condensation seen on piping on both sides of condenser or expansion valve - Refrigerant flow obstructed by moisture or dirt in refrigeration system - Refrigerant flow obstructed by gas leakage from expansion valve Refrigerant does not circulate 1. Check expansion valve 2. Clean expansion valve by blowing air 3. Replace condenser 4. Evacuate air and charge appropriate volume of new refrigerant 5. For gas leakage from expansion valve, replace expansion valve The A/C system does not function effectively due to overcharged refrigerant or insufficient cooling of the condenser. Symptoms Probable Cause Diagnosis Corrective Actions Pressure extremely high on both low and high-pressure sides - Excessive refrigerant - Cooling performance of condenser insufficient - Condenser is dirty - Condenser fan motor is malfunctioning - Excessive refrigerant 1. Clean condenser 2. Check condenser fan motor operation 3. If 1 and 2 normal, check amount of refrigerant and supply appropriate volume of refrigerant The A/C system does not function due to air in the refrigeration system. WARNING: The low-pressure piping may be very hot and cause serious burns. Symptoms Probable Cause Diagnosis Corrective Actions - Pressure extremely high on both low and high-pressure sides - The low-pressure piping is too hot to touch Air in refrigeration system - Air in refrigeration system - Vacuum purging insufficient 1. Check if compressor oil is dirty or insufficient 2. Evacuate air and charge new refrigerant The A/C system does not function effectively due to an expansion valve malfunction. Symptoms Probable Cause Diagnosis Corrective Actions - Pressure extremely high on both low and high-pressure sides - Frost or condensation on piping on low-pressure side Problem with expansion valve - Excessive refrigerant in low pressure piping - Expansion valve too wide open Replace expansion valve The A/C system does not function due to a defective compressor. Symptoms Probable Cause Diagnosis Corrective Actions - Pressure extremely high on both low and high-pressure sides - Pressure extremely low on high-pressure side Internal leakage in compressor - Compression failure - Leakage from damaged valve or broken sliding parts Repair or replace compressor

1. DISCHARGE REFRIGERANT FROM REFRIGERATION SYSTEM Start up the engine. A/C switch is ON. Operate the cooler compressor with an engine speed of approximately 1,000 rpm for 5 to 6 minutes to circulate the refrigerant and collect the compressor oil remaining in each component into the cooler compressor. Stop the engine. Recover the refrigerant from the A/C system using a refrigerant recovery unit.
2. CHARGE REFRIGERANT Perform vacuum purging using a vacuum pump. Charge refrigerant HFC-134a (R134a). Standard 450 +-50 g (15.87 +-1.76 oz.) SST: 09985-20010 09985-02010 09985-02050 09985-02060 09985-02070 09985-02080 09985-02090 09985-02110 09985-02130 09985-02140 09985-02150 NOTE: Do not operate the cooler compressor before charging refrigerant as the cooler compressor will not work properly without any refrigerant, and will overheat. Approximately 100 g (3.53 oz.) of refrigerant may need to be charged after bubbles disappear. The refrigerant amount should be checked by measuring its quantity, and not with the sight glass.
3. WARM UP ENGINE Warm up the engine at less than 1,850 rpm for 2 minutes or more after charging the refrigerant. NOTE: When turning the A/C switch ON after removing and installing the cooler refrigerant lines (including the compressor), be sure to warm up the compressor to prevent damage to the compressor.
4. CHECK FOR LEAKAGE OF REFRIGERANT After recharging the refrigerant gas, check for refrigerant gas leakage using a halogen leak detector. Perform the operation under these conditions: Stop the engine. Secure good ventilation (the halogen leak detector may react to volatile gases other than refrigerant, such as evaporated gasoline or exhaust gas). Repeat the test 2 or 3 times. Make sure that some refrigerant remains in the refrigeration system. When compressor is off: approximately 392 to 588 kPa (4 to 6 kgf/cm 2 , 57 to 85 psi) Using a halogen leak detector, check the refrigerant line for leakage. If a gas leak is not detected on the drain hose, remove the blower motor control (blower resistor) from the cooling unit. Insert the halogen leak detector sensor into the unit and perform the test. Disconnect the connector and leave the pressure switch on for approximately 20 minutes. Bring the halogen leak detector close to the pressure switch and perform the test.
