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.

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).

Supplemental Restraint System (SRSI
Troubleshooting
Self-diagnosis Function
The SRS unit includes a self-diagnosis function. lf there
is a failure in the sensors. SRS unit, inflator, or their cir-
cuits, the SRS indicator light in the gauge sssembly
comes ON.
As a system check, the SRS indicator light also comes
on when the ignition is first turned ON to the (ll) posi-
tion. lf the light goes off after approximately six sec-
onds, the system is OK.
lf the SRS indicator lighr remains on (or fails to come on
in the system check mode), one of the SRS components
(or the wiring/connectors inbetween) is laulty
Troubleshooting Precautions
a Always use the test harness. Do not use test probes
directly on component connector terminals or wires;
you may damage them or the SRS unit.
a When connecting any of the test harnesses to the
system, push the connectors straight-in; do not bend
the connector terminals,
. Before disconnecting any part of the SRS wire har-
ness, connect the shon connector (RED) on the driv-
er's airbag. On cars equipped with a front passen-
ger's airbag, connect short connectors on the driver's
airbag and the front passenger's airbag.
SRS Indicator Light Troubleshooting
Possiblo conditions:
1. SRS indicator light does not come on at all - see
page 23-278.
2. SRS indicator light stays on constantly - see page
23-242.
3. SRS indicator light comes on in combination with a
failure of another electrical system (charging sys-
tem light). Check for damage/corrosion at the
under-dash tuse/relay box connector.
NOTE:
. Before starting the applicable troubleshooting. check
the condition of all SRS connectors and ground
points.
. lf the fault is not found after completing the applica-
ble troubleshooting, substitute a known-good SRS
unit and check whether the indicator light goes off.
