(7) When checking continuity at the wire connector, in-
sert the tester probe carefully to prevent terminals
from bending.
(8) When using a vacuum gauge, never force the hose onto a connector that is too large. Use a step −down
adapter for adjustment. Once the hose has been
stretched, it may leak air.
(m) Installation and removal of vacuum hose: (1) When disconnecting vacuum hoses, use tags to
identify how they should be reconnected to.
(2) After completing a job, double check that the vacu-
um hoses are properly connected. A label under the
hood shows the proper layout.
(n) Unless otherwise stated, all resistance is measured at an
ambient temperature of 20° C (68°F). Because the resis-
tance may be outside specifications if measured at high
temperatures immediately after the vehicle has been run-
ning, measurement should be made when the engine has
cooled down.

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

sary

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
