COMPRESSOR AND MAGNETIC
CLUTCH
ON−VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. INSTALL MANIFOLD GAUGE SET (See page AC−18 )
2. START ENGINE
Run the engine at 1,500 rpm.
3. INSPECT COMPRESSOR FOR METALLIC SOUND
Check if there is a metallic sound from the compressor when the
A/C switch is on.
If metallic sound is heard, replace the compressor assembly.
4. INSPECT REFRIGERANT PRESSURE (See page AC−5 )
5. STOP ENGINE
6. INSPECT VISUALLY FOR LEAKAGE OF REFRIGER- ANT FROM SAFETY SEAL
Using a gas leak detector, check for leakage of refrigerant.
If there is any leakage, replace the compressor assembly.
7. REMOVE MANIFOLD GAUGE SET (See page
AC−19 )
8. MAKE THESE VISUAL CHECKS:
(a) Leakage of grease from the clutch bearing.
(b) Signs of oil on the pressure plate or rotor. Repair or replace, as necessary.
9. INSPECT MAGNETIC CLUTCH BEARING FOR NOISE
(a) Start engine.
(b) Check for abnormal noise from near the compressor when the A/C switch is OFF.
If abnormal noise is being emitted, replace the magnetic clutch.
10. INSPECT MAGNETIC CLUTCH
(a) Disconnect the connector from the magnetic clutch.
(b) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to the termi-
nal on the magnetic clutch connector and the negative ( −)
lead to the body ground.
(c) Check that the magnetic clutch is energized.
If operation is not as specified, replace the magnetic clutch.

AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR AND MAGNETIC CLUTCH
1996 LAND CRUISER (RM451U)
REASSEMBLY
1. INSTALL COMPRESSOR
(a) Install the compressor with the 4 bolts. Torque: 25 N·m (250 kgf·cm, 18 ft·lbf)
(b) Connect the connector.
2. CONNECT DISCHARGE AND SUCTION HOSES Torque: 10 N·m (100 kgf·cm, 7 ft·lbf)
NOTICE:
Hoses should be connected immediately after the caps
have been removed.
HINT:
Lubricate 2 new O −rings with compressor oil and install the
hoses.
3. INSTALL AND INSPECT DRIVE BELT (See page AC−17 )
4. INSTALL ENGINE UNDER COVER
5. CONNECT NEGATIVE ( −) TERMINAL CABLE TO BAT-
TERY
6. EVACUATE AIR FROM REFRIGERATION SYSTEM
7. CHARGE SYSTEM WITH REFRIGERANT AND IN- SPECT FOR LEAKAGE OF REFRIGERANT
Specified amount:
850 ± 50 g (29.98 ± 1.76 oz.)
Using a gas leak detector, check for leakage of refrigerant.
If there is leakage, check the tightening torque at the joints.
8. INSPECT A/C OPERATION
Reassembly is in the reverse order of disassembly (See
page AC−35 ).
9. CHECK CLEARANCE OF MAGNETIC CLUTCH
(a) Set the dial indicator to the pressure plate of the magnetic
clutch.
(b) Connect the magnetic clutch lead wire to the positive (+) terminal of the battery.
(c) Check the clearance between the pressure plate and ro- tor when connecting the negative ( −) terminal to the bat-
tery.
Standard clearance:
0.5 ± 0.15 mm (0.020 ± 0.0059 in.)
If the clearance is not within the standard clearance, adjust the
clearance using shims to obtain the standard clearance. Shim Thickness:
0.1 mm (0.004 in.)
0.3 mm (0.012 in.)
0.5 mm (0.020 in.)

AIR CONDITIONING EXPANSION VALVE
AC−47
1374
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.
