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)

WATER VALVE
REMOVAL
1. DRAIN ENGINE COOLANT FROM RADIATOR
HINT:
It is not necessary to drain out all the coolant.
2. DISCONNECT WATER VALVE CONTROL CABLE
3. DISCONNECT WATER HOSES FROM HEATER RA-
DIATOR PIPE AND WATER VALVE
(a) Grip the claws of the hose clip with pliers and slide the clip
along the hose to a place where it does not clamp the
hose to the pipe.
(b) Disconnect the water hoses.
HINT:
ATt the time of installation, refer to the following procedure.
Push the water hose onto the heater radiator pipe as far
as ridge on the pipe.
Install the hose clip in a position, as shown in the illustra-
tion.
4. REMOVE WIRE HARNESS PROTECTOR
5. REMOVE WATER VALVE
Remove the 2 bolts and water valve.

INSPECTION
1. INSPECT ILLUMINATION OPERATION
Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal A −13
and the negative ( −) lead to terminal A−3, then check that the
illuminations light up.
If illuminations do not light up, test the bulb.
2. Air Inlet Control Switch:
INSPECT INDICATOR LIGHT OPERATION
(a) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
A−9 and the negative ( −) lead to terminal A−8.
(b) With the air inlet control button pushed in, check that the FRESH or RECIRC indicator light lights up.
(c) Next, push in the button again, and check that the indica-
tor light goes off and the other indicator light lights up.
