process is completed, the amount of compressor oil removed must be
measured and the same amount added to A/C system.
DISCONNECTING LINES & FITTINGS
After system is discharged, carefully clean area around all
fittings to be opened. Always use 2 wrenches when tightening or
loosening fittings. Some refrigerant lines are connected with a
coupling. Special tools may be required to disconnect lines. Cap or
plug all openings as soon as lines are removed. DO NOT remove caps
until connections of lines and fittings are completed.
CONNECTING LINES & FITTINGS
NOTE: All R-134a based systems use 1/2-16 ACME threaded fittings.
Ensure all replacement parts match the connections of the
system being worked on.
Always use a new gasket or "O" ring when connecting lines or
fittings. Coat "O" ring with refrigerant oil and ensure it is not
twisted during installation. Always use 2 wrenches to prevent damage
to lines and fittings.
PLACING SYSTEM IN OPERATION
After component service or replacement has been completed and
all connections have been made, evacuate system thoroughly with a
vacuum pump. Charge system with proper amount of refrigerant and
perform leak test. See REFRIGERANT OIL & REFRIGERANT SPECIFICATIONS
article in GENERAL SERVICING for system capacities. Check all fittings
that have been opened. After system has been leak tested, check system
performance.
NOTE: Most compressors are pre-charged with a fixed amount of
refrigerant (shipping) oil. Drain compressor oil from new
compressor and add refrigerant oil to new compressor
according to amount removed from old compressor. Always
refer to underhood A/C specification label or A/C compressor
label while servicing A/C system.
ATSUGI
ROTARY VANE
1) Before checking and adjusting oil level, operate engine at
1200 RPM. Set controls at maximum cooling and high blower motor speed
for 10 minutes to return oil to compressor.
2) Stop engine. Discharge refrigerant and remove compressor
from vehicle. See SERVICING PRECAUTIONS. Drain compressor oil through
compressor discharge port and measure oil amount.
3) If amount drained is less than 3 ounces, conduct leak
tests at system connections. Repair or replace faulty parts as

carefully follow all SERVICE PRECAUTIONS and DISABLING &
ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM procedures.
AIR BAG SYSTEM PRECAUTIONS
SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK
Two lights pertaining to air bag system are located directly
above air bag symbol in instrument cluster. Control light is used to
indicate readiness of system. With ignition on, control light comes on
for about 5-8 seconds then goes out, while diagnosis unit in air bag
control unit performs an electronic test cycle of system.
If control light does not function as described, a fault
probably exists in system. If fault occurs while ignition is on, it
will be stored in fault memory. Warning light will then come on, and
air bag system will be switched off. If warning light comes on or
flickers while driving, air bag system should be tested.
SERVICE PRECAUTIONS
Observe these precautions when working with air bag systems:
* DO NOT use computer memory saver tool. Using computer memory
tool will keep air bag system active and may cause accidental
deployment of air bag unit.

connect pressure gauges. Operate system for 10 minutes.
3) Check for cool air from left duct. Low pressure gauge
should read more than 16 psi (1.1 kg/cmý). If low pressure gauge
reading is incorrect, place hands around expansion valve to warm
valve. If pressure rises, moisture is present in system. Discharge A/C
system using approved refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment.
Evacuate and recharge system. If pressure does not rise, go to next
step.
4) Check temperature on thermometer when thermostatic switch
turns compressor off. If temperature is 39
øF (4øC), system is okay. If
temperature is lower than 39
øF (4øC), ensure capillary tube installed
length is 13" (330 mm). If capillary tube installation is correct,
replace thermostatic switch.
TESTING
A/C SYSTEM PERFORMANCE
1) Park vehicle out of direct sunlight. Start engine and
operate engine at 2500 RPM. Set A/C controls to outside air, panel
(vent) mode, full cold, and A/C button on.
2) Set blower/fan on high speed and open windows. Operate
system for 6-7 minutes to allow system to stabilize. Insert
thermometer in center vent, and measure temperature. Temperature at
center vent must be 19-40
øF (-7 to 4øC) at center vent, with high side
and low side pressures within specification. See SPECIFICATIONS table
at beginning of article.
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SWITCH
1) Remove air intake grille from right side cowl. Remove
switch from panel on right side of tray area. Place switch in freezer.
2) Using a DVOM, check switch resistance. Switch resistance
must be infinite (no continuity) below 30
øF (-1øC). Allow switch to
warm above 45
øF (7øC). Switch resistance must be zero ohms
(continuity). Replace switch if necessary.
COMPRESSOR CLUTCH COIL
Disconnect compressor clutch harness connector. Check
resistance between clutch connector terminals. Resistance reading
should be 3.6 ohms. If resistance reading is not as specified, replace
clutch coil.
DUAL-PRESSURE SWITCH
High-Pressure Cut-Out Switch
Locate dual-pressure switch on refrigerant line (right strut
tower). Switch is identified by its 4 wires. Ensure switch opens at
464 psi (32 kg/cm
ý). Ensure switch closes at 348 psi (24 kg/cmý).
NOTE: Dual-pressure switch may be removed without discharging

If you want "TUNE-UP" type information, see D - ADJUSTMENTS
for the adjustment procedures. If you are familiar with the
procedures, but need a quick way to find the specification, go to C -
TUNE-UP SPECS or C - SPECIFICATIONS for the specifications pertaining
to the vehicle.
When diagnosing driveability problems, first go to F - BASIC
TESTING. This article is here to help eliminate wasted diagnostic
time. If the basic systems are working properly, go to G - TESTS W/
CODES.
If the vehicle still is having a driveability problem or if
the vehicle has no self-diagnostic system, go to H - TESTS W/O CODES.
This article will help you diagnose the problem by symptom, locate the
symptom exhibited by the vehicle, and inspect or test the items which
may be causing the problem.
After finding which specific system or component requires
testing, use the I - SYS/COMP TESTS article to tests the systems and
components. We have also included (when available) pin voltage charts
and sensor range charts. These can be found in J - PIN VOLTAGE CHARTS
and K - SENSOR RANGE CHARTS.
Also included in this section are wiring diagrams and vacuum
diagrams. These can be found in L - WIRING DIAGRAMS and M - VACUUM
DIAGRAMS.
When all diagnostic tests have been performed and the problem
has been discovered, it may be necessary to replace or overhaul the
defective part. This information can be found in
N - REMOVE/INSTALL/OHAUL.
The content of each of these articles is outlined below. As a
summary of the driveability diagnosis, see ROUTINE OUTLINE in this
article.
A - ENGINE/VIN ID
This article shows how to identify the model and engine by
its Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). A model coverage chart shows
each model and engine, the fuel system, ignition system and engine
code. The engine serial number locations are also included in this
article.
B - EMISSION APPLICATION
These charts identify the emission systems and sub-systems
applicable to each model and engine combination.
C - TUNE-UP SPECS
This is a collection of quick-reference type specifications.
This article is helpful when you are familiar with proper adjustment
procedures and only need specifications. Included in this section are:
