A/C System Service
Leak Test
Only use service equipment that is U.L.-listed and is cer-
tified to meet the requirements of SAE J2210 to remove
HFC-134a (R-134a) from the air conditioner system.
CAUTION: Exposura to air condition ratrigerant and
lubaicant vapor or mist can irritato oyes. nose and
throat. Avoid br€athing tho sir conditionsr reftigolant
and lubricant vapor or mist.
lf accidental svstem discharge occurs, ventilate work
area before resuming service.
R-134a service equipment or vehicle air conditioner sys-
tems should not be pressure tested or leak tested with
comoressed air.
@ some mixturos ot air and R'13'la have
b.6n shown to b€ combustible at glsvated pressur€s

Additional health and satetY information may be ob-
tained from the refrigerant and lubricant manufactures'
1. Connect a R-134a retrigerant Recovery/Recycling/
Charging System to the car. as shown, following
the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
NOTE: Be sure to install the same amount of new
refrigerant oil back into the A/C system before
chargtng.
2. Open high pressure valve to charge the system to
about 98 kPa (1.0 kgf/cm' , 14 psi), then close the
supply valve.
3. Check the system for leaks using a R-134a refriger-
ant leak detector with an accuracy of '!4 g {0.5 oz)
per year or better.
4. lf you find leaks that require the system to be
opened (to repair or replace houses, fittings, etc.),
recover the system according to the Recover
Procedure on page 22-22.
5. Aiter checking and repairing leaks, the system must
be evacuated (see System Evacuation gn page 22-
38).

sit in the driver's seat.
a Load the trunk with the items you usually carry (if you
usually pull a trailer, attach it to the carl.
a Push down on the tront and rear bumDers several
times to make sure the car is sitting normally.
a When installing a new headlight assembly, tighten the
four mounting bolts so that.the indicator in the verti-
cal gauge comes to the "O" mark.
1. Open the hood.
2. Check that both the horizontal and vertical gauge
read " O" .
. lf the gauges rcad "O", check headlight aiming
with the aiming charts on page 23-163. (lf aim-
ing isn't correct, refer to the trame repair chart
in section 20.)
a lf one o. both gauges don't read "O". go to step
23-162
3. Turn the low beams on. lJ necessary, align the ver-
tical indicator with its "O" mark by turning the ver-
tical adiuster with a Phillips screwdriver, and check
aiming with the chart on page 23-163.
lf necessary, align the horizontal indicator with its"0" mark by turning the horizontal adjuster with a
Phillips screwdriver, and check aiming with the chart
on page 23-163.
4.
5.Recheck that the vertical indicator bubble is aligned
with "o" 1 1.
lf necsssary, adjust as described in step 3.
Turn the high beams on and check aiming with the
charts on page 23-163.

Brake Switch Test
lf the brake lights do not go on, check the No. 42
{2O A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box, and
the brake light bulbs in the taillighr assembly and high
mount brake light.
lf the fuse and bulbs are OK. disconnect the 2-P or
4-P connector {rom the brake switch.
3. Check fo. continuitv between the B and C terminals.
There should be continuity with the brake pedal
pushed.
a lJ there is no continuitv, replsce the switch or ad-
just pedal height {see section 19).
a lf there is continuity, but the brake lights do not
go on, inspect for:- Poor ground (G5O3)
