10. Performance Test
1. VEHICLE SET UP
In order to obtain meaningful test results, the vehicle must
be set up to meet the following conditions:
1) Vehicle in shade
2) No wind
3) All vehicle doors closed
4) Front windows opened
5) Hood opened
6) Engine speed set at 1,500 rpm.
7) A/C ON
8) Temperature control lever—Maximum cold
9) Air source—Recirculation
10) Blower speed—4th position (High)
11) Operate A/C for 10 minutes (Minimum) before taking
measurement.
2. MEASUREMENTS
After 10 minutes (Minimum) of A/C operation and using
accurate test equipment, take the following measurements
(in order):
1) Evaporator intake air temperature at recirculation door.
2) Evaporator discharge air temperature at center grill.
3) Condenser (Ambient) intake air temperature measured
0.9 m (3 ft) in front and in line with the center of the con-
denser.
4) Suction (Low) side pressure
5) Discharge (High) side pressure
NOTE:
If only one thermometer is available; 1) take the ambient
measurement first; then 2) the intake air; and 3) dis-
charge air temperature.

9. Sight Glass Inspection
1. INSPECTION CONDITION
1) Operate the engine at approximately 1,500 rpm.
2) Open the door windows.
3) Set the fan switch to the 4th (High) position.
4) Set the mode selector switch to“A/C”position.
5) Set the temperature control switch to Full cold position.
6) Ensure that compressor discharge pressure is at least
588 kPa (6 kg/cm
2, 85 psi).
NOTE:
When discharge pressure does not reach 588 kPa (6
kg/cm
2, 85 psi) in areas where outside air temperature is
low, proceed as follows:
a. Set the TEMP. SWITCH to the Full hot position.
b. Set the temperature control switch to“MAX. A/C”posi-
tion.
c. Close the door windows completely.
d. Increase the compartment temperature so that dis-
charge pressure reaches at least 588 kPa (6 kg/cm
2,85
psi).
2. REFRIGERANT CHARGE AMOUNT CHECKING
Check the refrigerant charge amount using the following
table as a guide.
