COMPRESSOR - The prime purpose of the compressor is to compress the low pressure refrigerant vapor
from the evaporator into a high pressure, high temperature vapor. The 6 cylinder 6P148 compressor is used.
MAGNETIC CLUTCH is mounted on the compressor providing a convenient way to drive and disengage
compressor in accordance to the cooling needs. CONDENSER is located in front of the radiator. Its function
is to cool the hot, high pressure refrigerant gas causing it to condense into high pressure liquid refrigerant.
RECEIVER DRIER is used to remove any traces of moisture from the refrigerant system. This component
incorporates the sight glass and fusible plug. SIGHT GLASS at the top of the receiver drier is provided as a
diagnostic tool to observe refrigerant flow and observe refrigerant level. THE FUSIBLE PLUG is located on
the receiver drier. Its function is to prevent damage to the air conditioning system in the event that
excessive pressure develops due to condenser air flow being restricted by, for example, leaves, newspaper,
an overcharge of refrigerant, or air in the system. LOW PRESSURE SWITCH prevents damage to the
compressor in case of system loss of refrigerant charge. EXPANSION VALVE - The expansion valve is used
for all applications. Its function is to meter refrigerant into the evaporator in accordance with cooling
requirements. EVAPORATOR COIL is located in the unit and its function is to cool and dehumidify the air
before it enters the vehicle. FREEZE UP CONTROL FIN THERMOSTAT SENSOR is installed at the heater
side of evaporator. The main function of a freeze control is to keep condensate water on the face of the
evaporator coil from freezing and restricting air flow. WATER TEMPERATURE SWITCH - When the
temperature of the radiator coolant became high, this switch functions to stop the compressor and prevent
engine overheating. SERVICE VALVE at the compressor and the discharge line. The valves are used to test
and service the refrigerant system. REFRIGERANT R-12 is used maximum amount 907 g (32 oz.) R-12.
COMPRESSOR OIL is used DENS0 oil 6 maximum amount 110 cc (3.7 U.S.fl.oz., 3.9 Imp.fl.oz.).

24-30 AIR-CONDITIONING -Service Adjustunent Procedures
(4) If the sight glass shows foam or bubbles, the systpm could be low on charge. Occasional foam or bubbles are
normal when the ambient temperature is above 43”C(110”F) or below 21”C(7O”F).
Adjust the engine speed to 1,500 rpm. Block the airflow through the condenser to increase the compressor
discharge pressure to 1,422 to 1,520 kPa (20$ to 220 dsi). If sight glass still shows bubbles or foam, system charge
level is low.
The refrigerant system will not be low on charge unless there is a leak. Find and repair the leak. If the leak can be
repaired without discharging the system an oil level check is not necessary. Use the procedure for correcting low
refrigerant level found in the Refrigerant Sy$em Service Procedure Section.
FUSIBLE PLUG
When ambient temperature of the fusible plug reach& 105~221~F), the fusible plug melts and the refrigerant in
the system is released.
Once the fusible plug is operated, it cannot be used again.
SO, it is necessary to install new one and charge the refrigerant in the system.
Low pressure
switch , LOW PRESSURE SWITCH
The Low Pressure Switch, located on the liquid line, is wired in
series with the magnetic clutch. It cuts off the electrical power
supply to the clutch when refrigerant pressure drops below the
cont$ol point of the switch. Whenever the system is inactivated by
the low pressure switch due to refrigerant loss, the refrigerant oil
may have been lost. Therefore, to prevent damage to the com-
pressor due to operation without sufficient lubrication, the leak
must be repaired and the compressor oil level checked before final
charge of the system. The switch is a sealed, factory calibrated
unit. No attempt should be made to adjust or otherwise repair it.
If it is found to be faulty it must be replaced.
To Test the Low Pressure Switch (Engine Off)
(1) Jump the wire leads.
(2) Press the air conditioner switch and blower switch on.
(3) Momentarily turn the ignition switch on (do not crank the en-
gine), listen for the compressor clutch engaging.
(4) If the clutch does not engage, the fin thermostat, water tem-
perature switch or fuse may be faulty.
(5) If clutch engages, connect the manifold gauge set and
read pressure. At pressure of 210 kPa (30 psi) or above,
switch must actuate the clutch.
If the pressure is below 210 kPa (30 psi), the refrigerant
system is low in charge. For corrective action refer to
refrigerant leak repair procedure.
(6) Reconnect boot on switch and perform step number 3.
If the clutch does not engage, discharge the system, replace
the switch, and recharge the system.

AIR-CONDITIONING-Service Adiustment Procedures 24-31
FREEZE UP CONTROL
Evaporator freeze up is controlled by a thermistor attached to the
evaporator fins. The control is an electronic type and consists of
two parts_(thermo relay and thermistor.) It is connected to the
magnetic clutch of the compressor in series. When the tempera-
ture of the evaporator drops below 3°C (37.4”F), the compressor is
turned OFF.
To Test the Thermistor
(1) Jump the wire lead (LB to GB) of the connector portion.
(2) Press the air conditioner switch and blower switch on.
(3) Momentarily turn the ignition switch on (do not crank the en-
gine), listen for the clutch engaging.
(4) If the clutch does not engage, the low pressure switch,
water temperature switch wiring or fuse may be faulty.
(5) If the clutch operates, replace the thermostat.
WATER TEMPERATURE SWITCH
The water temperature switch is located on the thermostat hous-
ing. The water temperature switch is connected to the clutch
in series. When the coolant temperature in the radiator
reaches above 113°C (235”F), it turns the compressor OFF.
This is to prevent engine overheating.
When the water temperature switch is activated and the clutch is
OFF, check the surface of the condenser and radiator, the belt
tension, and the coolant volume in the radiator, and return to the
normal condition.
To Test the Water Temperature Switch
(1) Remove wire from water temperature switch and jump lead
wires.
(2) Press the air conditioner switch and blower switch on.
(3) Momentarily turn the ignition switch on (do not crank the en-
gine), listen for the clutch engaging.
(4) If the clutch does not-engage, the fin thermistor, low pressure
switch, wiring or fuse may be faulty.
(5) If clutch engages, replace the switch.

AIR CONDITIONER SWITCH
To jest the Air Conditioner Switch
(1) Disconnect the harness connector for the air conditioner
switch.
(2) Jump the lead wires as shown.
(3) Turn the blower switch ON.
(4) Momentarily turn the ignition switch on (do not crank the en-
gine), listen for the clutch engaging.
(5) If the clutch does not engage, fin thermostat, water
temperature switch, wiring or fuse may be faulty.
(6) If clutch engages, replace the air conditioner switch.
MAGNETIC CLUTCH
(1) Disconnect the wiring to the magnetic clutch.
(2) Connect battery (+) voltage directly to the wiring for the mag-
netic clutch.
(3) If the magnetic clutch is normal, there will be a “click”. If the
pulley and armature do not make contact (“click”), there is a
malfunction.
COMPRESSOR
(1) Install the manifold gauge set, and run the air conditioner.
(2) If a pressure of approx.490 kPa (71 psi) is indicated on the
suction gauge side and a pressure of approx.883 kPa (128 psi)
is indicated on the discharge gauge side, the compressor has
abnormal compression.
Replace the compressor.
(3) If a pressure of 294 to 392 kPa (43 to 59 psi) is indicated on the
suction gauge side and a pressure of approx.1961 kPa (284
psi) is indicated on the discharge gauge side, it is suspected
that air is present in the air conditioning system.
Discharge the system, evacuate and recharge with specified
amount of refrigerant.
(4) During operation of the air conditioner, cold air may stop flow-
ing after the elapse of time and this state is maintained before
cold air flows out again. If cold air stops flowing out with
negative pressure indicated on the suction gauge side and a
pressure of 588 to 980 kPa (85 to 142 psi) indicated on the
discharge gauge side, it is suspected that water is present in
the air conditioning system.
Discharge the system. Replace receiver drier. Evacuate and
check for leaks, and recharge with specified amount of refrig-
erant.
