4. The liquid refrigerant is charged by the expansion valve into a low temperature, low pressure liquid and
geseous mixture.
5. This cold and foggy refrigerant flows to the evaporator. Vaporizing the liquid in the evaporator, the heat
from the warm air stream passing through the evaporator core is transfered to the refrigerant.
All the liquid is changed into geseous refrigerant in the evaporator and only heat±laden geseous refrig-
erant is drawn into the compressor. Then the process is repeated again.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
REFRIGERATION CYCLE
1. The compressor discharges high temperature and high pres-
sure refrigerant containing the heat absorbed from the
evaporator plus the heat created by the compressor in a dis-
charge stroke.
2. This gaseous refrigerant flows into the condenser. In the con-
denser, the gaseous refrigerant condenses into liquid
refrigerant.
3. This liquid refrigerant flows into the receiver which stores and
filters the liquid refrigerant till the evaporator requires the ref±
rigerant.

VACUUM SWITCHING VALVE (VSV)
(See pages AC±4 to AC±7)
INSPECTION OF VSV
1. REMOVE VSV
2. CHECK VACUUM CIRCUIT CONTINUITY IN VSV 8*
BLOWING AIR INTO PIPE
(a) Connect the VSV terminals to the battery terminals
as shown.
(b) Blow into pipe ºAº, and check that air comes out of
pipe ºBº but does not come out of filter ºCº.
4. CHECK FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the
two terminals of the VSV.
Specified resistance: 37 ± 44
at 20°C (68°F)
If resistance value is not as specified, replace the VSV. 3. CHECK FOR SHORT CIRCUIT
Using an ohmmeter, check that there is no continuity be-
tween each terminal and the VSV body.
If a short circuit is found, repair or replace the VSV.(c) Disconnect the battery.
(d) Blow into pipe ºAº and check that air comes out
of filter ºCº but does not come out of pipe ºBº.
If a problem is found, replace the VSV.

(b) Using a filter gauge, check the pack clearance of the first and
reverse brake.
Clearance: A540E
0.85 ± 2.05 mm (0.033 ± 0.081 in.)
A540H
1.04 ± 2.16 mm (0.041 ± 0.085 in.)
If the pack clearance is not within specification, disassemble
and inspect. 43. CHECK FIRST AND REVERSE BRAKE
(a) Check the operation of the first and reverse brake piston
Apply compressed air into the case passage and confirm
that the piston moves.
If the piston does not move, disassemble and inspect. 42. REMOVE REAR PLANETARY RING GEAR
(a) Remove the rear planetary ring gear.
(b) Remove the bearing from the ring gear.
44. REMOVE FLANGE, DISCS AND PLATES OF FIRST
AND REVERSE BRAKE
(a) Remove the snap ring.(c) Remove the thrust washer from the rear planetary
gear.

2. The most frequent cause of problems is simply a bad contact
in wiring connectors. Always check that connections are
secure.
When inspecting the connector, pay particular attention to
the following points:
(a) Check to see that the terminals are not bent.
(b) Check to see that the connector is pushed in completely and
locked.
(e) Check to see that there is no signal change when the con-
nector is slightly tapped or wiggled.
3. Troubleshoot sufficiently for other causes before replacing
the ECU, as the ECU is of high quality and it is expensive.
