- AIR CONDITIONINGCONDENSER
1996 TERCEL (RM440U)
REMOVAL
1. DISCHARGE REFRIGERANT FROM REFRIGERATION
SYSTEM
Charge system with refrigerant and inspect for leakage of refrig-
erant.
HINT:
At the time of installation, evacuate air from refrigeration sys-
tem.
Specified amount: 600 ± 50 g (21.16 ± 1.76 oz.)
2. REMOVE RECEIVER (See page AC-47)
3. DISCONNECT LIQUID TUBE AND DISCHARGE TUBE
Torque: 5.4 N´m (55 kgf´cm, 48 in.´lbf)
NOTICE:
Cap the open fittings immediately to keep moisture or dirt
out of the system.
HINT:
Lubricate 2 new O-rings with compressor oil and install them
to the tubes.
4. REMOVE CONDENSER
(a) Remove the 2 radiator upper mountings.
(b) Remove the 2 bolts from condenser upper mountings.
(c) Push the radiator toward the engine.
(d) Push the condenser toward radiator and pull it upward.
HINT:
If condenser was replaced, add compressor oil to compressor.
Add 40 cc (1.4 fl.oz.)
Compressor oil: ND-OIL 9 or equivalent

EXPANSION VALVE
ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. CHECK QUANTITY OF GAS DURING REFRIGERATION CYCLE
2. INSTALL MANIFOLD GAUGE SET
3. RUN ENGINE
Run the engine at 1,500 rpm for at least 5 minutes. 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 kgf/cm
2, 0 psi), otherwise it is OK.
HINT:
When the low pressure drops to 0 kPa (0 kgf/cm
2, 0 psi), feel the receiver's IN and OUT sides for 0 tempera-
ture difference.

3. RUN ENGINE AT APPROX. 2,000 RPM
4. Magnetic Clutch Control:
INSPECT PRESSURE SWITCH OPERATION
(a) Connect the positive (+) lead from the ohmmeter to termi-
nal 4 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 1.
(b) Check continuity between terminals when refrigerant
pressure is charged, as shown in the illustration.
If operation is not as specified, replace the pressure switch.
5. Condenser Fan Control:
INSPECT PRESSURE SWITCH OPERATION
(a) Connect the positive (+) lead from the ohmmeter to termi-
nal 2 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 3.
(b) Check continuity between terminals when refrigerant
pressure is changed, as shown in the illustration.
If operation is not as specified, replace the pressure switch.
6. STOP ENGINE AND SET OFF MANIFOLD GAUGE SET
