TROUBLESHOOTING u 7- Symptom: Magnetic clutch does not operate I Normal operation of magnetic clutch The PCME controls the operation of the condenser fan and magnetic clutch, depending on engine load. (Refer to section F.) The magnetic clutch is supplied with battery positive voltage as follows: 1. The ACS and fan switch are turned on. 2. The PCME receives a signal that the ACS and fan switch are on and creates a ground circuit. 3. The A/C relay is magnetized and the contact is closed. 4. Battery positive voltage is applied to the magnetic clutch and the clutch locks. WIPER 20A AD FAN 20A FUSE BLOCK MAIN FUSE BLOCK Step 1 1. Check the following fuses.

TROUBLESHOOTING I ltem 1 Symptom Symptom: lnsuff icient cooling No cooling Intermittent cooling Ill Bubbles present in sight glass u Immediately after air conditioner turned off, refrigerant in sight glass stavs clear I. When air conditioner turned off, re- frigerant foams, and then sight glass becomes clear No bubbles present in sight glass Step 1 Checking refrigerant charge 1. Run the engine at a fast idle. 2. Operate the air conditioner at maximum cooling for a few minutes. 3. Observe the sight glass to determine the amount of re- frigerant and the related action as shown below. Amount of refrigerant Action Insufficient refrigerant Too much or proper amount of refrig- erant Too much refrigerant Step 2 Checking refrigerant pressure 1. Connect the manifold gauge set. 2. Operate the engine at 1,500 rpm and set the air condi- tioner to maximum cooling. 3. Measure the refrigerant pressure. 1 Proper amount of refrigerant Normal pressure Low-pressure side: 0.1 5-4.24 MPa (1.5--2.5 kgf/cm2, 22--35 psi) High-pressure side: 1.38-1.56 MPa (1 4.0-1 6.0 kgf/cm2, 200-227 psi) Check refrigerant pressure, go to Step 2 Turn air conditioner off, and watch bubbles (Refer to Items 3 and 4) Check refrigerant pressure, go to Step 2 Refrigerant amount normal 4. If the pressures not as specified, refer to the chart on the next page and check the system. ,d Gartner Banana
