(1) Loosen bolt “A” for holding the tension pulley.
(2) Loosen bolt “B” for adjustment, and remove the
‘J
compressor drive belt.
3.REMOVAL OF SUCTION HOSE AND DISCHARGE HOSE
If the hoses are disconnected, cap the hoses with a blankplug to prevent entry of dust, dirt, and water.
5. REMOVAL OF COMPRESSOR
Caution
Lay the towel on the brake tube to protect them. When
install the compressor, do not damage the brake tubes.
This work must be done carefully so as not to spill the
compressor oil.

OPERATION CHECK OF THE COMPRESSOR’S MAGNETIC
CLUTCH
(1) Connect terminal @ at the compressor side to the positive
(+) terminal of the battery, and ground the negative (-)terminal of the battery to the compressor.
(2) The condition of the compressor’s magnetic clutch can beconsidered satisfactory if the operation sound (a “click”
sound) of the magnetic clutch can be heard when this
check is made.
SERVICE POINTS OF INSTALLATIONM55SDAF5. INSTALLATION OF COMPRESSOR
If a new compressor is installed, first adjust the amount of
oil according to the procedures described below, and then
install the compressor.(1) Measure the amount (X cc) of oil within the removed
compressor.
(2) Wipe away (from the new compressor) the amount ofoil calculated according to the following formula, and
then install the new compressor.
New compressor oil amount
160 cc (9.8 cu.in.) - X cc= Y cc
NOTE
Y cc indicates the amount of oil in the refrigerant line,l/jthe condenser, the cooling unit, etc.

HIGH PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE CHECK
The high pressure relief valve is a safety feature which releasesI
part of the refrigerant inside the system into the atmospherewhen the high pressure level exceeds 3,550
kPa (505 psi)
during air conditioner operation.Once the pressure inside the system has been reduced to
2,400
kPa (341 psi) or lower, the high pressure relief valveL&Jcloses, thus allowing continued operation.
(1) If a leak is detected at section A, replace the high pressure
relief valve. The valve can be used unless there is a leak(from that section.
(2) If a leak is detected at section B, retighten the valve. If the
leak still persists after retightening the valve, replace the
packing.
THERMOSTAT CHECK
(1) Dip the thermostat in engine oil.
(2) Check for continuity across terminals @ and @ when theengine oil is heated.
Standard value:Continuity at approx.
110°C (230°F) or less
at A pointNo continuity at approx. 155°C (311°F) or more

REVOLUTION PICK UP SENSOR CHECKMeasure the resistance between terminals
@ and @ of the
connector.
Normal resistance: 405 + 35 R when ambient temperatureis
20°C (68°F)
If the measurement deviates greatly from the above resis-
tance, replace the revolution pick up sensor assembly.
CONTROL VALVE CHECKThe control valve detects a low pressure level during the
operation of the air conditioner, and adjusts the amount of
refrigerant to be bypassed.
(1) Operate the air conditioner under a high temperature loadcondition (when vehicle interior temperature is high).
(2) Connect a low pressure gauge to the air compressor.
(3) Operate the air conditioner with the engine running at idle.
(4) Gradually increase the engine speed while observing the
low pressure gauge.
If the valve is normal, the low pressure drops slowly as the
engine speed increases until a pressure of 180
kPa (25 psi)
is reached, at which point the pressure temporarily ceasesto drop. Then, the pressure again starts dropping as the
engine speed further increases.If the valve is abnormal, the low pressure drops in direct
proportion to the increase in engine speed without a
temporary leveling off at the 180 kPa (25 psi) pressure level.
If the low pressure drops like this, replace the control valve.

(2) Check whether or not the air gap of the clutch is within
the standard value.Standard value: 0.4

NOTE
If there is a deviation of the air gap from the standardvalue, make the necessary adjustment by adjusting the
