ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION (USING ACC CHECKER 49 9200 010)
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.

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.

Oil Return Operation
1. If the refrigerant level is low, charge the system to
the specified amount.
2. Run the engine and air conditioner at idle and at
maximum cooling for at least 20 minutes.
