AIR CONDITIONING AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
AC−5
1996 LAND CRUISER (RM451U)
ON−VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. INSPECT REFRIGERANT VOLUME
Observe the sight glass on the liquid tube.
Test conditions:
Running engine at 1,500 rpm
Blower speed control switch set at ”HI”
A/C switch ON
Temperature control set at ”MAX. COOL”
Fully open doors
ItemSymptomAmount of refrigerantRemedy
1Bubbles present in sight glassInsufficient*
1. Check for gas leakage with gas leak
tester and repair if necessary
2. Add refrigerant until bubbles disappear
2No bubbles present in sight glassNone, sufficient or too muchRefer to items 3 and 4
3No temperature difference between compressor inlet and outletEmpty or nearly empty
1. Check for gas leakage with gas leaktester and repair if necessary
2. Add refrigerant until bubbles disappear
4Temperature between compressor inlet and outlet is noticeably differentCorrect or too muchRefer to items 5 and 6
5Immediately after air conditioning is turnedoff, refrigerant in sight glass stays clearToo much
1. Discharge refrigerant
2. Evacuate air and charge proper amount of purified refrigerant
6When air conditioning is turned off,
refrigerant foams and then stays clearCorrect−
*: Bubbles in the sight glass with ambient temperatures higher
than usual can be considered normal if cooling is sufficient.
2. INSPECT REFRIGERAT PRESSURE WITH MANIFOLD
GAUGE SET
This is a method in which the trouble is located by using a man-
ifold gauge set. Read the manifold gauge pressure when the
these conditions are established:
Test conditions:
Temperature at the air inlet with the switch set at RECIRC
is 30 − 35° C (86 − 95° F)
Engine running at 1,500 rpm
Blower speed control switch set at high
Temperature control set at max. cool
HINT:
It should be noted that the gauge indications may vary slightly
due to ambient temperature conditions.
(1) Normally functioning refrigeration system.
Gauge reading:
Low pressure side:
0.15 − 0.25 MPa (1.5 − 2.5 kgf/cm
2)
High pressure side:
1.37 − 1.57 MPa (14 − 15 kgf/cm
2)

AIR CONDITIONING EXPANSION VALVE
AC−47

Author: Date:
1996 LAND CRUISER (RM451U)
EXPANSION VALVE
ON−VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. CHECK QUANTITY OF GAS DURING REFRIGERATION CYCLE
2. INSTALL MANIFOLD GAUGE SET
3. RUN ENGINE
(a) Run the engine at 1,500 rpm for at least 5 minutes.
(b) Then check that the high pressure reading is 1.37 − 1.57 MPa (14 − 16 kgf/cm
2, 199 − 228 psi).
4. CHECK EXPANSION VALVE
If the expansion valve is faulty, the low pressure reading will drop to 0 kPa (0 kgf/cm
2, 0 psi).
HINT:
When the low pressure drops to 0 kPa (0 kgf/cm
2, 0 psi), feel the receiver’s IN and OUT sides for zero temper-
ature difference.

25. INSPECT ENGINE OIL LEVEL WARNING CIRCUIT
Disconnect the switch connector and inspect the connector on
wire harness side, as shown.
Tester connectionConditionSpecified condition
2 − GroundConstantContinuity
If continuity is not as specified, inspect the wire harness or
ground point.
26. INSPECT ENGINE OIL LEVEL WARNING LIGHT
(a) Disconnect the connector from the switch.
(b) Ground terminal 1 on the wire harness connector.
(c) Turn the ignition switch ON, and check that the warning
light lights up approximately 40 seconds later.
If the warning light does not light up, inspect bulb or wire har-
ness.
27. INSPECT LIGHT CONTROL RHEOSTAT
(a) Connect terminals 1 and 3 through a 3.4 W test bulb.
(b) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
1 and the negative ( −) lead to terminal 2.
(c) Turn the rheostat knob to fully counterclockwise, and
check that the test bulb goes out.
(d) Gradually turn the rheostat knob to clockwise, and check
that the test bulb brightness changes from dark to bright.
If operation is not as specified, replace the rheostat.
HINT:
Adjust the brightness of illumination lights by rheostat.

BODY SLIDING ROOF
1996 LAND CRUISER (RM451U)
INSPECTION
1. INSPECT SLIDING ROOF GLASS ALIGNMENT
(a) Start the engine and check the operation time of the slid-
ing roof.
Operation time: Approx. 5 sec.
(b) Check for abnormal noise or binding during operation.
(c) With the sliding roof fully closed, check for water leakage.
(d) Check for a difference in level between the sliding roof weatherstrip and roof panel.
Front End0.9 − 3.9 mm (0.035 − 0.154 in.)
Rear End0.9 − 3.9 mm (0.035 − 0.154 in.)
2. If the sliding roof does not operate:
ADJUST SLIDING ROOF GLASS ALIGNMENT
(a) Remove the control switch cover.
(b) Remove the large screw inside.
NOTICE:
Be careful not to lose the spring washer or shim.
(c) Manually operate the moon roof by inserting a special
crank−shaped screwdriver into the hole and turning the
drive shaft.

BRAKE FRONT BRAKE PAD
1996 LAND CRUISER (RM451U)
REPLACEMENT
1. REMOVE FRONT WHEEL
2. INSPECT PAD LINING THICKNESS
Check the pad thickness and replace pads if not within the
specification. Minimum thickness: 1.0 mm (0.039 in.)
3. REMOVE THESE PARTS:
Clip
2 pins
Anti−rattle spring
2 pads
4 anti−squeal shims
NOTICE:
The anti −rattle spring and clip can be used again provided
that they have sufficient rebound, no deformation, cracks
or wear, and have had all rust, dirt and foreign particles
cleaned off.
4. CHECK DISC THICKNESS AND RUNOUT (See page
BR−27 )
5. INSTALL NEW PADS
NOTICE:
When replacing worn pads, the anti −squeal shims must be
replaced together with the pads.
(a) Draw out a small amount of brake fluid from the reservoir.
(b) Press in the pistons with a hammer handle or an equiva- lent.
HINT:
Always change the pad on one wheel at a time as there
is a possibility of the opposite piston flying out.
If the piston is difficult to push in, loosen the bleeder plug
and push in the piston while letting some brake fluid es-
cape.
(c) Install the 2 anti−squeal shims to new pads.
