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 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 - 16 kgf/cm
2)

Condition: Insufficient cooling
I01392
Condition: Insufficient cooling
NOTE : These gauge indica-
tions are shown when the
refrigeration system has
been opened and the refrig-
erant charged without vacu-
um purging.

 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-
erant in system

it is dirty or insufficient
(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.
Test conditions:
Blower speed control switch HI
Electrical lood OFF
A/C switch ON
Put gear shift in neutral
Standard idle-up speed: 800 - 900 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 the gas leak detector
may not 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: approx. 392 - 588 kPa
(4 - 6 kgf/ cm
2, 57 - 85 psi)
(b) Bring the gas leak detector close to the drain hose before
performing the test.
HINT:
After the blower motor has stopped, leave the cooling unit
for more than 15 minutes.
Expose the gas leak detector sensor 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 approx. 20 minutes. Then bring the gas leak detector
close to the pressure switch and perform the test.
(e) Bring the gas leak detector close to the refrigerant lines
and perform the test.

3. CHARGE REFRIGERANT INTO REFRIGERANT SYS-
TEM
If there is no leakafter refrigerant leak check, charge the proper
amount of refrigerant intor refrigeration system.
CAUTION:

Never run the engine when charging the system
through the high pressure side.

Do not open the low pressure hand a valve when the
system is being charged with liquid refrigerant.
(a) Open the high pressure hand valve fully.
(b) Charge specified amopunt of refrigerant, then close the
high pressure hand valve.
HINT:
A fully charged system is indicated by the sight flass being free
of any bubbles.
4. SET OFF MANIFOLD GAUGE SET
(a) Close both hand valves of manifold gauge set.
(b) Disconnect the quick disconnect adapters from the ser-
vice valves.
5. INSTALL CAPS TO SERVICE VALVES ON REFRIGER-
ANT LINES
