(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

3. INSPECT IDLE−UP SPEED
(a) Warm up engine
(b) Inspect idle −up speed when the these conditions are es-
tablished:
Blower switch HI
Electrical load OFF
A/C switch ON
Put gear shift in neutral
Magnetic clutch conditionIdle speed
Magnetic clutch not engaged650 ± 50 rpm
Magnetic clutch engaged800 ± 50 rpm
If idle speed is not as specified, check the IAC valve and air in-
take system.
4. INSPECT FOR LEAKAGE OF REFRIGERANT
(a) Perform in these conditions:
Stop engine.
Secure good ventilation (If not, the gas leak detec-
tor may react to volatile gases which are not refrig-
erant, such as evaporated gasoline and exhaust
gas.)
Repeat the test 2 or 3 times.
Make sure that there is some refrigerant remaining
in the refrigeration system.
When compressor is OFF: approximately 392 − 588
KPa (4 − 6 kgf/cm
2, 57 − 35 psi)
(b) Bring the gas leak detector close to the drain hose before
performing the test.
HINT:
After the blower motor is stopped, leave the cooling unit
for more than 15 minutes.
Expose the gas leak detector sensor the under the drain
hose.
When bring the gas leak detector close to the drain hose,
make sure that the gas leak detector does not react to the
volatile gases.
If such reaction is unavoidable, the vehicle must be lifted up.
(c) If gas leak is not detected on the drain hose, remove the
power transistor from the cooling unit. Then insert the gas
leak detector sensor into the unit and perform the test.
(d) Disconnect the connector and leave the pressure switch for approximately 20 minutes. Then bring the gas leak de-
tector close to the pressure switch and perform the test.
(e) Bring the gas leak detector close to the refrigerant lines and perform the test.

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.

CHARGING
1. INSTALL CHARGING CYLINDER
HINT:
When handling the charging cylinder, always follow the direc-
tion given in the instruction manual.
(a) Charge the proper amount of refrigerant in charging cylin-
der.
(b) Connect the center hose to the charging cylinder.
CAUTION:
Do not open both high and low hand valves of manifold
gauge set.
(c) Open the valve of charging cylinder.
(d) Press the valve core on the side of manifold gauge and expel the air inside of the center hose.
2. INSPECT REFRIGERATION SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
(a) Open the high pressure hand valve and charge refriger- ant.
(b) When the low pressure gauge indicates 98 kPa (1 kgf/cm
2, 14 psi), close the high pressure hand valve.
(c) Using leak detector, check the system for leakage.
(d) If leak is found, repair the faulty component or connection. Add evacuate air from refrigeration system (Refer to 4).
CAUTION:
Use the refrigerant recovery/ recycling machine to recover
the refrigerant whenever replacing parts.

TEM
If there is no leak after refrigerant leak check charge, the proper
amount of refrigerant into refrigeration system.
CAUTION:
Never run the engine when charging the system through
the high pressure side.Do not open the low pressure hand
valve when the system is being charged with liquid refrig-
erant.
(a) Open the high pressure hand valve fully.
(b) Charge specified amount of refrigerant, then close the high pressure hand valve.
