  1. 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. Test conditions: 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 GAUGE READING REFERENCE 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. PROBLEM SYMPTOMS CHART 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 Replace cooler drier Remove moisture from cycle by repeatedly evacuating air Supply appropriate volume of new refrigerant The A/C system does not function effectively due to insufficient cooling. PROBLEM SYMPTOMS CHART 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 Check for gas leakage and repair if necessary Supply appropriate volume of new refrigerant If indicated pressure value close to 0 when connected to gauge, create vacuum after inspecting and repairing the location of leakage The A/C system does not function effectively due to poor circulation of the refrigerant. PROBLEM SYMPTOMS CHART 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. PROBLEM SYMPTOMS CHART 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 Check expansion valve Clean expansion valve by blowing air Replace condenser Evacuate air and charge appropriate volume of new refrigerant 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. PROBLEM SYMPTOMS CHART 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 Clean condenser Check condenser fan motor operation If 1 and 2 normal, check the amount of refrigerant and supply appropriate volume of refrigerant The A/C system does not function due to air in the refrigeration system. CAUTION: The low-pressure piping may be very hot and cause serious burns. PROBLEM SYMPTOMS CHART Symptoms Probable Cause Diagnosis Corrective Actions Pressure extremely high on both low and high-pressure sides Low-pressure piping is too hot to touch Air in refrigeration system Air in refrigeration system Vacuum purging insufficient Check if compressor oil is dirty or insufficient Evacuate air and charge new refrigerant The A/C system does not function effectively due to an expansion valve malfunction. PROBLEM SYMPTOMS CHART 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. PROBLEM SYMPTOMS CHART 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: 430+-30g(15.2+-1.1 oz.) SST 07110-58060 (07117-58060, 07117-58070, 07117-58080, 07117-58090, 07117-78050, 07117-88060, 07117-88070, 07117-88080) 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: Be sure to warm up the compressor when turning the A/C switch ON after removing and installing the cooler refrigerant lines (including the compressor), to prevent damage to the compressor.
  4. INSPECT FOR REFRIGERANT LEAK After recharging with refrigerant gas, inspect for refrigerant leak gas using a halogen leak detector. Carry out the test under the following conditions: IG OFF Secure good ventilation (the gas leak detector may react to volatile gases which are not refrigerant, such as evaporated gasoline and exhaust gas). Repeat the test 2 or 3 times. Make sure that there is some refrigerant remaining in the refrigeration system. When the compressor is off: approx. 392 to 588 kPa (4 to 6 kgf/cm 2 , 57 to 85 psi) Using a gas leak detector, inspect for refrigerant leak from the refrigerant lines.. Bring the gas leak detector close to the drain hose with the detector's power off, and then turn the detector on. NOTE: After the blower motor has stopped, let the cooling unit stand for more than 15 minutes. Bring the gas leak detector sensor under the drain hose. When bringing the gas leak detector close to the drain hose, make sure that the gas leak detector does not react to volatile gases. If it is not possible to avoid interference from volatile gases, the vehicle should be lifted up to allow testing. If a gas leak is not detected from the drain hose, remove the blower motor control from the cooling unit. Insert the gas leak detector sensor into the unit and perform the test. Disconnect the pressure switch connector and leave it for approximately 20 minutes. Bring the gas leak detector close to the pressure switch and perform the test.
