LOST CHARGE
If the system has lost all charge due to a leak:
1. Evacuate the system. (See procedure.)
2. Charge the system with approximately one
pound of refrigerant.
3. Check for leaks.
4. Discharge the system.
5. Repair leaks.
6. Replace receiver drier.
Caution
Replacement filter-drier units must be
sealed while in storage. The drier used in
these units will saturate water quickly upon
exposure to the atmosphere. When
installing a drier, have all tools and supplies
ready for quick reassembly to avoid keeping
the system open any longer than necessary.
7. Evacuate and charge system.
LOW CHARGE
If the system has not lost all of its refrigerant charge;
locate and repair all leaks. If it is necessary to
increase the system pressure to find the leak
(because of an especially low charge) add
refrigerant. If it is possible to repair the leak without
discharging the refrigerant system, use the
procedure for correcting low refrigerant level.HANDLING TUBING AND FITTINGS
Kinks in the refrigerant tubing or sharp bends in
the refrigerant hose lines will greatly reduce the
capacity of the entire system. High pressures are
produced in the system when it is operating.
Extreme care must be exercised to make sure that
all connections are pressure tight. Dirt and moisture
can enter the system when it is opened for repair
or replacement of lines or components. The
following precautions must be observed. The
system must be completely discharged before
opening any fitting of connection in the refrigeration
system. Open fittings with caution even after the
system has been discharged. If any pressure is
noticed as a fitting is loosened, allow trapped
pressure to bleed off very slowly.
Never attempt to rebend formed lines to fit. Use
the correct line for the installation you are servicing.
A good rule for the flexible hose lines is keep the
radius of all bends at least 10 times the diameter
of the hose.
Sharper bends will reduce the flow of refrigerant.
The flexible hose lines should be routed so that
they are at least 80 mm from the exhaust manifold.
It is good practice to inspect all flexible hose lines
at least once a year to make sure they are in good
condition and properly routed.
Unified plumbing connections with O-rings, these
O-rings are not reusable.

REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS
A
SUCTION PIPE OR HOSE, DISCHARGE PIPE
DISCONNECTION
Plug the disconnected hose and the evaporator nipple not
to let foreign matter get into them.
Caution
Seal the hoses completely, otherwise the compressor
oil and receiver will absorb water vapor easily.
INSTALLATION SERVICE POINT

AEVAPORATOR INSTALLATION
When replacing the evaporator, refill with a specified amount
of compressor oil and install it (to the vehicle).
Compressor oil: ZXL 100PG
Quantity: 50 m

INSPECTION
· Check the SRS-ECU and brackets for dents, cracks or
deformation.
· Check connectors and lock lever for damage, and
terminals for deformation
Caution
If a dent, crack, deformation or rust is discovered,
replace the SRS-ECU with a new one.
NOTE
For checking of the SRS-ECU other than described
above, refer to the section concerning troubleshooting.
(Refer to P.52B-5.)
AIR BAG MODULES AND CLOCK SPRING
Caution
1. Disconnect the battery (-) terminal and wait
for 60 seconds or more before starting
work. Furthermore, the disconnected
battery terminal should be covered with
tape to insulate it. (Refer to P.52B-3)
2. Never attempt to disassemble or repair the
air bag modules or clock spring.
If faulty, replace it.
3. do not drop the air bag modules or clock
spring or allow contact with water, grease
or oil.
Replace it if a dent, crack, deformation or
rust is detected.4. The air bag modules should be stored on a
flat surface and placed so that the pad
surface is facing upward.
Do not place anything on top of it.
5. Do not expose the air bag modules to
temperatures over 93° C.
6. After deployment of an air bag, replace the
clock spring with a new one.
7. Wear gloves and safety glasses when
handling air bags that have already
deployed.
8. An undeployed air bag module should only
be disposed of in accordance with the
procedures (Refer to P.52B-31.)
