INSPECTION
1. TURN AIR CONDITIONING SWITCH OFF
2. CHECK IDLE−UP
(a) Start the engine and run it at idle.
(b) Fully turn the steering wheel.
(c) Check that the engine rpm decreases when the vacuum
hose is pinched.
(d) Check that the engine rpm increases when the hose is re-
leased.

PRECAUTION
1. DO NOT HANDLE REFRIGERANT IN AN ENCLOSED
AREA OR WEAR EYE PROTECTION
2. ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION
3. BE CAREFUL NOT TO GET LIQUID REFRIGERANT IN
YOUR EYES OR ON YOUR SKIN
If liquid refrigerant gets in your eyes or on your skin.
(a) Wash the area with lots of cool water.
CAUTION:
Do not rub your eyes or skin.
(b) Apply clean petroleum jelly to the skin.
(c) Go immediately to a physician or hospital for professional
treatment.
4. NEVER HEAT CONTAINER OR EXPOSE IT TO NAKED
FLAME
5. BE CAREFUL NOT TO DROP CONTAINER AND NOT
TO APPLY PHYSICAL SHOCKS TO IT
6. DO NOT OPERATE COMPRESSOR WITHOUT
ENOUGH REFRIGERANT IN REFRIGERATION SYS-
TEM
If there is not enough refrigerant in the refrigerant system oil lu-
brication will be insufficient and compressor burnout may occur,
so that care to avoid this, necessary care should be taken.
7. DO NOT OPEN PRESSURE MANIFOLD VALVE WHILE
COMPRESSOR IS OPERATE
If the high pressure valve is opened, refrigerant flows in the re-
verse direction and could cause the charging cylinder to rup-
ture, so open and close the only low pressure valve.
8. BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVERCHARGE SYSTEM WITH
REFRIGERANT
If refrigerant is overcharged, it causes problems such as insuffi-
cient cooling, poor fuel economy, engine overheating etc.

9. SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)
The TOYOTA T100 is equipped with an SRS (Supplemental
Restraint System) such as the driver airbag and passenger air-
bag. Failure to carry out service operations the correct se-
quence could cause the SRS to unexpectedly deployed during
servicing, possible the SRS may fail to operate when required.
Before servicing (including removal or installation of parts, in-
spection or replacement), be sure to read the following item
carefully, then follow the correct procedure described in the re-
pair manual.

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 on ”HI” position
A/C switch ON
Temperature control dial on ”COOL” position
Fully open the doors
ItemSymptomAmount of refrigerantRemedy
1Bubbles present in sight glassInsufficient*
(1) Check for gas leakage with gas leak de-
tector and repair if necessary
(2) Add refrigerant until bubbles disappear
2No bubbles present in sight glassNone, sufficient or too muchRefer item 3 and 4
3No temperature difference between com-
pressor inlet and outletEmpty or nearly empty
(1) Check for gas leakage with gas leak de-
tector 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 turned
off, 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, refriger-
ant 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 REFRIGERANT PRESSURE WITH MAN-
IFOLD 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 these
conditions are established.
Test conditions:
Temperature at the air inlet with the switch set
at RECURC is 30 − 35 °C (86 − 95 °F)
Engine running at 1500 rpm
Blower speed control switch on ”HI” position
Temperature control dial on ”COOL” position
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 − 16 kgf/cm
2)
(2) Moisture present in refrigeration system.
Symptom seen in
refrigeration systemProbable causeDiagnosisRemedy
During operation, pressure on low
pressure side sometimes become
a vacuum and sometime normal
Moisture entered in refrigeration
system freezes at expansion valve
orifice and temporarily stops cycle,
but normal state is restored after a
time when the ice melts Drier in oversaturated state
 Moisture in refrigeration system
freezes at expansion valve orifice
and blocks circulation of refriger-
ant(1) Replace receiver
(2) Remove moisture in cycle
through repeatedly evacuating air
(3) Charge proper amount of new
refrigerant

tinuously
 Insufficient cooling performance
Gas leakage at some place in re-
frigeration system Insufficient refrigerant in system
 Refrigerant leaking
(1) Check for gas leakage with gas
leak detector and repair if neces-
sary
(2) Charge Proper amount of re-
frigerant
(3) If indicated pressure value is
near 0 when connected to gauge,
create the vacuum after inspecting
and repairing the location of the
leak
(4) Poor circulation of refrigerant

formance due to excessive refrig-
erant in system
