(6) Refrigerant overcharged or insufficient cooling of
condenser
Symptom seen in
refrigeration systemProbable causeDiagnosisRemedy
Pressure too high on both low
and high pressure sides
No air bubbles seen through the
sight glass even when the engine
rpm is lowered Unable to develop sufficient per-
formance due to excessive refrig-
eration system
Insufficient cooling of condenser Excessive refrigerant in
cycle → refrigerant over charged
Condenser cooling → condenser
fins clogged or cooling fan faulty
(1) Clean condenser
(2) Check cooling fan with fluid
coupling operation
(3) If (1) and (2) are in normal
state, check amount of refrigerant
Charge proper amount of refriger-
ant
(7) Air present in refrigeration system
Symptom seen in
refrigeration systemProbable causeDiagnosisRemedy
Pressure too high on both low
and high pressure sides
The low pressure piping hot to
touch
Bubbles seen in sight glass
Air entered in refrigeration system
Air present in refrigeration sys-
tem
Insufficient vacuum purging
(1) Check compressor oil to see if
it is dirty or insuf ficient
(2) Evacuate air and charge new
refrigerant

EVACUATING
1. CONNECT QUICK DISCONNECT ADAPTERS TO
CHARGING HOSES
2. REMOVE CAPS FROM SERVICE VALVES ON RE- FRIGERANT LINES
3. INSTALL MANIFOLD GAUGE SET
(a) Close both hand valves of manifold gauge set.
(b) Connect the quick disconnect adapters to the service valves.
4. EVACUATE AIR FROM REFRIGERATION SYSTEM
(a) Connect the vacuum pump adapter to the vacuum pump.
(b) Connect the center hose of the manifold gauge set to the vacuum pump adapter.
(c) Open both the high and low hand valves and run the vacu-
um pump.
(d) After 10 minutes or more, check that the low pressure
gauge indicates 750 mmHg (30 in.Hg) or more.
HINT:
If the reading is not 750 mmHg (30 in.Hg) or more, close both
hand valves of manifold gauge set and stop the vacuum pump.
Check the system for leaks and repair as necessary.
(e) Close both the high and low hand valves and stop the vac-
uum pump.
(f) Leave the system in this condition for 5 minutes or more and check that there is no gauge indicator.

BRAKE PEDAL
ON−VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. CHECK PEDAL HEIGHT
Pedal height from dash panel:
167.5 − 177.5 mm (6.594 − 6.988 in.)
2. IF NECESSARY, ADJUST PEDAL HEIGHT
(a) Disconnect the connector from the stop light switch.
(b) Loosen the stop light switch lock nut and remove the stop
light switch.
(c) Loosen the push rod lock nut.
(d) Adjust the pedal height by turning the pedal push rod.
(e) Tighten the push rod lock nut. Torque: 25 N·m (260 kgf·cm, 19 ft·lbf)
(f) Install the stop light switch and turn it until it lightly con-
tacts the pedal stopper.
(g) Turn the stop light switch back one turn.
(h) Check the clearance (A) between the stop light switch and pedal.
Clearance: 0.5 − 2.4 mm (0.020 − 0.094 in.)
(i) Tighten the stop light switch lock nut.
(j) Connect the connector to the stop light switch.
(k) Check that the stop lights come on when the brake pedal
is depressed, and go off when the brake pedal is re-
leased.
(l) earance (A) between the stop light switch and the pedal
stopper has been adjusted correctly, the pedal freeplay
will meet the specifications.
3. CHECK PEDAL FREEPLAY
(a) Stop the engine and depress the brake pedal several times until there is no more vacuum left in the booster.
(b) Push in the pedal by hand until the beginning of the se- cond resistance is felt. Measure the distance.
Pedal freeplay: 3 − 6 mm (0.12 − 0.24 in.)
HINT:
The freeplay to the 1st resistance is due to the play between the
clevis and pin. This is magnified up to 3 − 6 mm (0.12 − 0.24 in.)
at the pedal.
