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 at ºHIº position
A/C switch ON
Temperature control dial at ºCOOLº 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 RECIRC is 30 - 35 °C (86 - 95 °F)
Engine running at 1500 rpm
Blower speed control switch at ºHIº position
Temperature control dial on ºCOOLº 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,
by normal state is restored after a
time when the ice melts Drier 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
(3) Insufficient cooling
Symptom seen in
refrigeration systemProbable causeDiagnosisRemedy
Pressure low on both low and
high pressure sides
Bubbles seen in sight glass con-
tinuously
Insufficient cooling performance
Gas leakage at some place in re-
frigeration system Insufficient refrigerant in sys-
tem
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
Symptom seen in
refrigeration systemProbable causeDiagnosisRemedy
Pressure low in both low and
high pressure sides
Frost on tube from receiver to
unit
Refrigerant flow obstructed by dirt
in receiverReceiver cloggedReplace receiver
(5) Refrigerant does not circulate
Symptom seen in
refrigeration systemProbable causeDiagnosisRemedy
Vacuum indicated on low pres-
sure side, very low pressure indi-
cated on high pressure side
Frost or dew seen on piping be-
fore and after receiver/ drier or ex-
pansion valve Refrigerant flow obstructed by
moisture or dirt in refrigeration sys-
tem
Refrigerant flow obstructed by
gas leakage from expansion valve
Refrigerant does not circulate
(1) Check expansion valve
(2) Clean out dirt in expansion
valve by blowing with air
(3) Replace receiver
(4) Evacuate air and charge new
refrigerant to proper amount
(5) For gas leakage from expan-
sion valve, replace expansion
valve

rpm is lowered Unable to develop sufficient per-
formance due to excessive refrig-
