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)

I01390
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.

(6) Refrigerant overcharged or insufficient cooling of
condenser
Symptom seen in
refrigeration systemProbable causeDiagnosisRemedy
 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-
eration system
 Insufficient cooling of condenser Excessive refrigerant in
cycle " refrigerant over charged
 Condenser cooling " condenser
fins clogged of condenser fan
faulty
(1) Clean condenser
(2) Check condenser fan motor
operation
(3) If (1) and (2) are in normal
state, check amount of refrigerant
Charge proper amount of refriger-
ant
(7) Air present in refrigeration system
Symptom seen in
refrigeration systemProbable causeDiagnosisRemedy
 Pressure too high on both low
and high pressure sides
 The low pressure piping hot to
touch
 Bubbles seen in sight glass
Air entered in refrigeration system
 Air present in refrigeration sys-
tem
 Insufficient vacuum purging
(1) Check compressor oil to see if
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 at ºHIº position
Temperature control dial at ºCOOLº position
A/C switch ON
Put gear shift in neutral
2JZ-GE (M/T)
Magnetic clutch conditionIdle-up speed
Not engaged700 ± 50 rpm
Engaged900 ± 50 rpm
If idle speed is not as specified, check the IAC valve and air in-
take system.
2JZ-GE (A/T)
Magnetic clutch conditionIdle-up speed
Not engaged700 ± 50 rpm
Egagedn800 ± 50 rpm
If idle speed is not as specified, check the IAC valve and air in-
take system.
2JZ-GTE
magnetic clutch conditionIdle-up speed
Not engaged650 ± 50 rpm
Engaged800 ± 50 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)

3. CHARGE REFRIGERANT INTO REFRIGERANT SYS-
TEM
If there is no leak after refrigerant leak check, charge the proper
amount of refrigerant into 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 amount of refrigerant, then close the
high pressure hand valve.
HINT:
A fully charged system is indicated by the sight glass being free
of any bubbles.
4. REMOVE 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
