B.Check Switch
The check switch in the ACC checker is used to
check the actuator operation while the engine is
running. When the check switch is held on after
the engine is started, the engine speed increases
to approximately 2,000 to 3,000 rpm and is main-
tained at that level. When the check switch is
released, the engine speed decreases to idle
speed.
76G15X-073
C.Slide switch
Before using the check switch, first move the slide
switch to the "L" position.
Then use the check switch to increase the engine
rpm.
If the engine rpm stabilizes after increasing to
2,000—3,000 rpm, there is no problem. If there is
no increase at all, or only a slight increase, try again
after setting the slide switch to the "H" position.
If there is still no increase to 2,000—3,000 rpm,
adjust the free play of the actuator inner cable.

Preparation
1. ACC checker installation
Depress the lock hook of the harness connector.
Remove the connector from the ACC control unit
after the ignition switch and main switch are turned
off, and then connect the harness connector to the
ACC checker.
2. Checking the free play of the actuator inner
cable
Remove the clip and adjust the nut so that the ac-
tuator control cable play is as follows when the ca-
ble is pressed lightly.
Standard play: 1—3 mm (0.039—0.118 in)

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
The AAS control unit has a self-diagnosis function detecting the unit itself, electrical parts for AAS sys-
tem, and wiring harness open circuit, to inform mechanics. If it detects their malfunctions, outputs the
output pattern to A (LW) terminal of service connector according to the settled pattern for each mal-
function.
Troubleshooting against AAS system can be conducted by knowing the output pattern (See page 15—96,
97) to detect trouble location. 76gisx-o2o
TROUBLESHOOTING
How To Use Self-Diagnosis System
By using the control unit's self-diagnosis function and
a voltmeter, malfunctions of the system are easily de-
termined. When diagnosing malfunctions, follow the
steps bellow.
1. Connect a voltmeter to A (LW) terminal of the serv-
ice connector in engine room.
2. Read out the output patterns (See page 15—96)
in following condition.

sight glass on the receiver-drier. (Refer to follow-
ing table.)

Installation of the Manifold Gauge Set
Note:
Fittings for attaching the manifold gauge set
are on the high and low pressure pipes.
1. Close both hand valves of the manifold gauge set.
2. Install the charging hoses in the gauge set to the
fittings.
Connect the low-pressure hose to the low-pressure
gauge fitting and the high-pressure hose to the
high-pressure gauge fitting.
Tighten the hose nuts by hand.

Leak-Testing the System
After finishing the evacuation of the system, check
it for leaks.
1. Install the refrigerant container valve.
2. Open the high-pressure manual valve to charge
the system with refrigerant gas.
3. When the low-pressure gauge reads 98.1 kPa (1
kg/cm2, 14.2 psi), close the high-pressure man-
ual valve.
4. Using a halide gas leak detector, propane torch,
or electric leak detector, check the system for leaks.
If a leak is found, repair the faulty component or
connection, then evacuate the system.
76G16X-632
Charging the System
1. Close both the high- and low-pressure manual
valves completely after the system is evacuated.
2. Install the refrigerant container service valve.
3. Open the low-pressure manual valve and charge
the system with refrigerant gas.
4. When charging the system becomes difficult, run
the engine at fast idle and operate the air condi-
tioner.
Caution
Be sure to keep the container in the upright
position to prevent liquid refrigerant from be-
ing charged into the system through the suc-
tion side and possibly damaging the
compressor.
5. Charge the system to the specified amount, then
close the low-pressure manual valve.
Specified amount: 800 g (28.24 oz)
Note:
If the sight glass on the receiver-drier is free
of bubbles, the system is fully charged.
6. Close the low-pressure manual valve and the ser-
vice valve of the refrigerant container.
7. Stop the air conditioner and the engine.
8. Quickly disconnect both hoses from the gauge
fittings.
9. Put the cap nuts on the gauge fittings.

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.
