New
Drain and discard the transit lubricating oil from a new compressor before it is be fitted. An adjustment must
then be made to avoid over-filling the system, by taking into account;
a) the quantity found in the original compressor.
b) the quantity deposited in the recovery equipment oil separator from the charge recovery operation.
Drained from original compressor
50 ml
Recovered from oil separator 40 ml
Quantity to be put in new compressor 50 + 40 = 90 ml
Typical example:
Please note that the discrepancy between the cumulative figure of recovered and drained oil and the nominal capacity
of
180 ml is caused by normally unrecoverable oil being trapped in components such as the condenser, receiver/ drier
or evaporator.
The previous statements apply even
if a problem has occurred due to oil leakage. The amount of oil lost due to leakage
is generally small, so to avoid over-filling please follow the example.
If however the recovery process has not been necessary because refrigerant has also been lost, then ONLY replace the
quantity drained from the original compressor.
14.9.5
Should a major component such as condenser, receiver / drier or evaporator be renewed then an adjustment to the
system oil level must be made. This may be carried out in the same way as the examples for the compressor except
for the fact that trapped oil within any one of these components cannot normally be drained. Therefore, a nominal
amount of oil should be substituted
in addition to that recovered from the recovery station separator.
Adding Lubricating Oil - Component Related
Condenser Add 40 ml
Evaporator Add 40 ml
Receiver / drier NO adjustment
CAUTION: Always decant fresh oil from a sealed container and do not leave oil exposed to the atmosphere. PAG
oil is very hygroscopic (absoh water) and will rapidly attract atmospheric moisture.
PAG oil must NEVER be mixed with mineral based oils.
Do not re-use oil following a recovery cycle, dispose of it safely.
14.9.6 Adding Refrigerant
In order that the air conditioning system may operate efficiently it must contain a full refrigerant charge. The indica- tions of some system defects, and the results of certain tests, will show that a low charge is the most probable cause
of the fault. In such cases the charge should be recovered from the system, the weight noted, and the correct amount
installed.
Should refrigerant be added in liquid form, initial engine start
-up revolutions must NOT exceed 2000 RPM for a period
of (2) two minutes. If the engine speed is excessive, compressor damage may occur due to the lubricating oil and the
liquid refrigerant being initiallyforced around the system as a 'slug', thus taking oil awayfrom the compressor. These
marginal lubrication conditions in the compressor will cease as the refrigerant becomes gaseous.
Never attempt to 'guess' the amount of refrigerant in a system, always recover and recharge with the correct charge
weight; this is the only accurate method.
CAUTION: If oil was drawn out during the recovery process, the corM amount may be added directly from your
recovery / recycle /recharge station (if so equipped) prior to the 'charging process'. It must be stressed that the need to protect compressor oil from moisture is vital, observe the procedures
in HANDLING LUBRICATING OIL and those concerning excessive engine revolutions.

14.10 FAULT DIAGNOSIS
14.10.1 Introduction
It is very important to positively identifythe area of concern before starting a rectification procedure. A little time spent
with your customer to identify the conditions under which a problem occurs will be beneficial. Relevant criteria are:
Weather conditions, ambient temperature, intermittent or continuous fault, airflow fault, temperature control fault, dis
- tribution fault and air inlet problem.
14.10.2 Functional Check
This simple 'first line check' will allow you to ascertain whether the system is operating within its design parameters,
without recourse to (JDE). Please carry out the following, in order.
0 Start engine and attain normal running temperature.
0 Presss AUTO to display selected temperature and illuminate AUTO & AJC state lamps.
0 Rotate FAN to increase or decrease lower speed, verify bar graph representation.
0 Operate AJC to toggle on or off. Because the compressor can be inhibited by the engine management system,
ensure that the engine temperature is normal and that the ambient is above 5O C.
0 Operate RECIRC, state lamp should be lit and the flap behind the blower grille open.
0 Operate distribution buttons in turn, verify correct air distribution and relevant state lamp.
0 Operate DEFROST, check max fans and air to front screen.
0 Cycle TEMPERATURE to 'Hi' and 'Lo' to verify demanded variations and display operation. Note that extremes
will provide max heat or cold independent of in-car temperature.
0 Operate EX to toggle between ambient and control temperatures.
0 Operate HFS and HRW to note timer and mirror operation.
0 Initiate System Self Test to check for, and extract, stored faults should any of the above not perform as stated.
14.10.3 System symptoms
There are five basic symptoms associated with air conditioning fault diagnosis. The following conditions are not in order of priority.
No Cooling
0 Is the electrical circuit to the compressor clutch functional?
0 Is the electrical circuit to the blower motor(s) functional?
0 Slack or broken compressor drive belt.
0 Compressor partially or completely seized.
0 Compressor shaft seal leak.
0 Compressor valve or piston damage (may be indicated by small variation between HIGH &LOW side pressures
relative to engine speed).
0 Broken refrigerant pipe (causing total loss of refrigerant).
0 Leak in system (causing total loss of refrigerant) - possible code 23.
0 Blocked filter in the receiver drier.
0 Evaporator sensor disconnected - possible code 13.
0 Pressure switch faulty - possible code 23.

w: In ambient temperatures below Oo C, the system may log fault code 23 because the low ambient causes a tem-
porary low gas pressure. Where the ambient temperature rise above 40" C, and if the engine is close to over- heating, feed to the compressor clutch may be cut and code 23 registered.*

14.13 SYSTEM CHECKING WITH MANIFOLD GAUGE Sm
14.13.1 Evacuating the Manifold Gauge Set
Attach the centre (service) hose to a vacuum pump and start the pump. Open fully both high anddow valves and allow
the vacuum to remove air and moisture from the manifold set for at least five minutes.
Turn the vacuum pump off and isolate it from the centre service hose but do not open the hose to atmosphere.
CAUTION: It is imperative that the vacuum pump is not subjected to a positive pressure of any degree. Therefore
the pump must be frtted with an isolation valve at the centre (service hose) connection and this valve
must be closed before the pump is switched off. This operation replaces the 'purge' procedure used on
previous systems. Observe the manufacturefs recommendation with regard to vacuum pump oil
changes.
14.13.2 Connecting the Manifold Gauge Set
CAUTION: Only use hoses with connectors which are dedicated to HFC 134A charge ports.
Attachment of the hose quick release connectors to the high and low side system ports is straightfotward, provided
that the high and low valves are closed and the system is NOT operational.
Assessment of system operating efficiency and fault classification may be achieved by using the facilities on your
Re- covery / Recharging / Recycling station, follow the manufacturers instructions implicitly and observe all safety con- siderations.
WARNING: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE CONNECTIONS BE MADE WITH THE SYSTEM IN
OPERATION OR THE VALVES OPEN. SHOULD THE VALVES BE OPEN AND A VACUUM PUMP OR
REFRIGERANT CONTAINER ATTACHED, AN EXPLOSION COULD OCCUR AS A RESULT OF HIGH
PRESSURE REFRIGERANT BEING FORCED BACK INTO THE VACUUM PUMP
OR CONTAINER.
14.13.3 Stabilizing the System
Accurate test gauge data will only be attained if the system temperatures and pressures are stabilized.
Ensure that equipment and hoses cannot come into contact with engine moving parts or sources of heat.
It is recommended that a free standing air mover is placed in front of the vehicle to provide air flow through the con- denser / cooling system, see illustration below.
Start the engine, allow
it to attain normal working temperature and set at fast idle (typically 1200 to 1500 rpm). Select full air conditioning performance.
With all temperatures and pressures stable, or displaying symptoms of faults; begin relevant test procedures.

15.1.6 Fire Hazard Infonnath
Thermal decomposition or combustion may produce dense smoke and other dangerous fumes which in fire situations
form
a highly toxic explosive.
In the event of fire the surrounding area must be evacuated and
all personnel kept well upwind of the area.
Full fire fighting protective gear and
a self contained breathing apparatus operating in the positive pressure mode must
be worn for combating fire. Material near fires must be cooled with water spray to prevent ignition.
Fires should be allowed to burn themselves
out if not threatening to life or property. If fire is threatening to life or prop- erty use copious quantities of water to extinguish.
15.1.7 Ventilath
Local exhaust ventilation designed by a professional engineer should be provided if vapours, fumes, or dusts are gen- erated whilst working with airbag module.
The latest issue of the manual for recommended practices on 'Industrial Ventilation' is available from the
ACGIH Com- mittee on Industrial Ventilation, PO Box 16153, Lansing, MI 48910, USA.
The need for local exhaust ventilation should be evaluated by a professional industrial hygienist.
15.1.8 Respiratory Precauth
To prevent the inhalation of dangerous fumes and dusts, an approved mask should be worn.
15.1.9 Eye Protection
Chemical protective goggles are recommended where there is a possibility of eye contact with the propellant.
Safety glasses with side shields are recommended for
all other operations.
15.1. I0 Protective Clothing
Approved protective gloves, overalls and shoes / boots should be worn.
15.1.1 1 Handling and Storage Precautions
Do not store airbag module near live electrical equipment or circuitry. Store in a dry environment at ambient tempera-
tures.
Good housekeeping and engineering practices should be employed to prevent the generation and accumulation of
dusts. Store in compliance with
all local state and federal regulations.
15.1.12 Driver And Passenger Airbag Modules Assembly / Removal / Service Instructions
Before starting work, ensure ignition switch is in 'IocK position, key is removed and negative terminal cable
is disconnected from the battery.
As the airbag is equipped with a back up power source and due to the risk of airbag being inadvertently
deployed, wait one minute or longer before starting work.
0 Disconnecting the battery cancels the memory for clock, radio, seats, mirrors, steering column and any other
components using battery power. Reset memory after work is completed.
0 Never use airbags from other vehicles, always use new parts.
0 After work is completed, reconnect battery and perform warning light check see diagnostic manual.
0 Never use electrical probes to check voltage or electrical resistance.
0 Disconnect the airbag before carrying out any work on, or in the vicinity of module, or when using electric weld- ing equipment.
0 Always ensure that battery negative has been disconnected for one minute or longer before commencing any
removal procedure.
