Replacement of Fuse
1. When replacing a fuse, be sure to replace it with
one of the specified capacity.
If, after a fuse has been replaced, it fails again, there
is probably a short in the circuit, and the wiring
should be checked.
2. Be sure the negative battery terminal is disconnect-
ed before replacing a main fuse.
3. When replacing a fuse, use the supplied fuse puller
in the fuse box cover.
Thin Insulation Wire
To reduce the weight of the wiring harness, a thin
coating of high resistance insulation material is used.
Shielded braid wire
This wire is used to prevent a malfunction in impor-
tant circuits that are susceptible to outside signals or
interference.

Door Switch
1. Check for continuity of the switch with an
ohmmeter.
2. If continuity is not as specified, replace the switch.
Washer Level Sensor
1. Check for continuity between C (LY) terminal and
D (B) terminal of the washer level sensor con-
nector.
Oil Pressure Switch
1. Disconnect the connector from the oil pressure
switch.
2. Check for continuity between the switch and a
body ground with each condition.
Coolant Level Sensor

76G15X-072
Note:
When checking the actuator on '88 models with EC-AT using this checker, the checker
should be modified as shown below in order to avoid damage of the EC-AT control unit.
Modification Procedure
1. Cut the wire at terminal no.6 indicated on ACC
checker connector.
2. Tape exposed end of wire cut in step 1 as shown.
This modification does not affect the usage of the ACC
checker except when used on the '81 RX-7 and 626
models. When the modified ACC checker is used on
these models, use a jumper wire and jump across
terminal no.6 to 3 indicated on ACC checker connec-
tor as shown.

Discharging the Refrigeration System
1. Connect the manifold gauge set to the system.
2. Place the free end of the center hose on a shop
towel.
3. Slowly open the high pressure manual valve to ad-
just the refrigerant flow. Open the valve only slightly.
Caution
If refrigerant is allowed to escape too fast, the
compressor oil will be drawn out of the
system.
4. Check the shop towel to make sure no oil is being
discharged.
If oil is present, partially close the manual valve.
5. After the manifold gauge reading drops below 343
kPa (3.5 kg/cm2, 50 psi), slowly open the low
pressure manual valve.
6. As the system pressure drops, gradually open both
the high- and low-pressure manual valves until both
gauges read 0 kPa (0 kg/cm2, 0 psi).
76G16X-631
Evacuation of the Refrigeration System
Whenever the air-conditioning system has been ex-
posed to the atmosphere, it must be evacuated.
1. Connect the manifold gauge set.
2. Connect the center hose of the gauge set to the
vacuum pump inlet.
3. Operate the vacuum pump, then open both man-
ual valves.
4. When the low pressure gauge indicates approxi-
mately 710 mmHg (28 inHg), close both manual
valves and stop the vacuum pump.
5. Check to be sure that the degree of pressure does
not change after 10 minutes or more in this condi-
tion.
If
the pressure changes, check the system for
leaks, and repair if necessary.
6. If no leaks are found, once again operate the vacu-
um pump and open both manual valves to obtain
760 mmHg (30 inHg).
7. Close both manual valves, and stop the vacuum
pump.
Disconnect the hose from the vacuum pump.

ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. Connect the manifold gauge set.
2. Run the engine at 1,500 rpm.
3. Check the compressor flow:
a) High pressure is not low and low pressure is not
higher than normal.
b) Metallic sound.
c) Check to be sure that the high-pressure and low-
pressure gauges show the same value immedi-
ately after the air conditioner is switched OFF.
If both gauges show the same value immediate-
ly, it can be assumed that the gasket or the valve
inside the compressor is damaged.
4. Stop the engine.
5. Check the shaft seal and others for leakage.
6. Inspect the drive plate pulley magnetic clutch for
signs of oil.
7. Check the clearance between the drive plate and
pulley. (Refer to page 16—21.)
If any of the above checks reveal faults, repair the
compressor or magnetic clutch.

REMOVAL OF COMPRESSOR
1. Perform the Oil Return Operation. (See below.)
2. Disconnect the battery ground cable.
3. Disconnect the clutch lead wire from the wiring
harness.
4. Discharge the refrigerant from the refrigeration
system.
5. Disconnect the two flexible hoses. Plug the open
fittings immediately to keep moisture out of the
system.
6. Loosen the drive belt.
7. Remove the compressor mounting bolts and the
compressor.

2. Run the engine and air conditioner at idle and at
maximum cooling for at least 20 minutes.

Place the SST on the hub of the front head and
use it to remove the pulley assembly.
Note:
To keep it from changing shape, hook the pul-
ley puller's hook onto the V-pulley section.
Remove the coil lead wire from the wire holder on
the compressor.
Remove the coil by removing the screws.
Note:
Do not suspend the coil by holding the lead
wire.
Inspection
a) Drive plate
If the frictional surface shows signs of damage
due to excessive heat, the drive plate and pul-
ley should be replaced.
b) Pulley assembly
Check the appearance of the pulley assembly.
If the frictional surface of the pulley shows signs
of excessive grooving due to slippage, both the
pulley and drive plate should be replaced. The
frictional surfaces of the pulley assembly should
be cleaned with a suitable solvent before rein-
stallation.
c) Coil
Check the coil for a loose connector or cracked
insulation.
Remove the felt.
