ON±VEHICLE INSPECTION OF
EXPANSION VALVE
1. CHECK QUANTITY OF REFRIGERANT GAS DURING
REFRIGERATION CYCLE
2. INSTALL MANIFOLD GAUGE SET
(See page AC±23)
3. RUN ENGINE
Run the engine at 2.000 rpm at least 5 minutes.
4. CHECK EXPANSION VALVE
If the expansion valve is clogged,the low pressure reading
will drop to 0 kg/cm2 (0 psi, 0 kPa), otherwise it is OK.

THERMISTOR
(See page AC±40)
REMOVAL AND INSPECTION OF
THERMISTOR
1. DISCONNECT NEGATIVE CABLE FROM BATTERY
2. REMOVE GLOVE BOX AND UNDER COVER
3. CHECK THERMISTOR INSTALLED OPERATION
Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance at the con-
nector.
Resistance: 1,500
at 25°C (77°F)
If resistance value is not as speci¿¿ed, replace the
thermistor.
4. REMOVE THERMISTOR
(a) Disconnect the connector.
(b) Remove the screw and thermistor from the cooling
unit.
5. CHECK THERMISTOR OPERATION
(a) Place the thermistor in cold water. While varying the
temperature of the water, measure the resistance at
the connector and at the same time, measure the tem-
perature of the water with a thermometer.
(b) Compare the two readings on the chart.
If the intersection is not between the two lines, replace the
thermistor.
INSTALLATION OF THERMISTOR
1. INSTALL THERMISTOR
(a) Install the thermistor with the screw.
(b) Connect the connector.
2. INSTALL GLOVE BOX AND UNDER COVER
3. CONNECT NEGATIVE CABLE TO BATTERY

Manual Shifting Test (A140E)
HINT: With this test, it can be determined whether the
trouble lies within the electrical circuit or is a mechani-
cal problem in the transaxle.
1. DISCONNECT ECT ECU CONNECTOR
(a) Remove the glove box.
(b) With the engine OFF, disconnect the ECT connector.
HINT: If the L, 2 and D range gear positions are difficult
to distinguish, perform the following road test.
wWhite driving, shift through the L, 2 and D ranges.
Check that the gear change corresponds to the shift
position.
3. CONNECT ECT ECU CONNECTOR2. INSPECT MANUAL DRIVING OPERATION
Check that the shift and gear positions correspond with
the table below.
