1998 ISUZU TROOPER ABS

GENERAL INFORMATION 0AÐ11
RECOMMENDED LIQUID GASKET
* RTV: Room Temperature Vulcanizer
NOTE:
1. It is very important that the liquid gaskets listed above or their exact equivalent be used on the vehicle.
2. Be careful to use the specified amount of liquid gasket.
Follow the manufacturerÕs instructions at all times.
3. Be absolutely sure to remove all lubricants and moisture from the connecting surfaces before applying
the liquid gasket.
The connecting surfaces must be perfectly dry.
4. Do not apply LOCTITE 515 and LOCTITE 518 between two metal surfaces having a clearance of greater
than 0.25 mm (0.01 in). Poor adhesion will result.
RECOMMENDED THREAD LOCKING AGENTS
NOTE:When the application procedures are specified in this manual, follow them.

1. Completely remove all lubricant and moisture from the bolts
and the female threaded surfaces of the parts to be joined.
The surfaces must be perfectly dry.
2. Apply LOCTITE to the bolts.
Apply LOCTITE to at least 1/3 of the
boltÕs threaded area
3. Tighten the bolts to the specified torque.
After tightening, be sure to keep the bolts free from vibration
and torque for at least an hour until LOCTITE hardens.

REMOVAL
Preparation:
Disconnect the battery ground cable
1. Instrument panel assembly
Refer to Section 10 ÒBODYÓ for ÒINSTRUMENT
PANEL ASSEMBLYÓ removal procedure.
2. Instrument panel center bracket
Refer to Section 10 ÒCROSS BEAM ASSEMBLYÓ
removal procedure.
3. Rear heater duct
4. Ceramic heater
1) Disconnect the connector and remove the heater
fixing screw and heater harness fixing clamps.
2) Pull the ceramic heater out from heater unit.
4a. Full hot switch
Disconnect the switch connector and remove the
switch fixing screw and switch harness fixing clamp.
INSTALLATION
To install, follow the removal steps in the reverse order,
noting the following points.
1. The installation should be made with care so that
there is continuity between the switch side connector
terminals when the knob is set to the ÒFull HotÓ
position.
2. Be sure to handle the EGR and the ABS control unit
with care to avoid the disengagement of connectors.

AIR CONDITIONING 1B Ð 19
·Direct charging with a manifold gauge charging station
method
Handling the charging valve handle when installing
refrigerant container.
1) Before attaching the charge valve to the refrigerant
container, turn the charge valve handle
counterclockwise until the needle is fully retracted.
2) Turn the plate nut counterclockwise until it reaches its
highest position relative to the charge valve.
3) Install the charge valve onto the refrigerant container.
4) Turn the plate nut clockwise and connect the center
hose of the manifold gauge to the charge valve.
5) Tighten the plate nut sufficiently by hand. Then turn
the charge valve handle clockwise to lower the needle
and bore a hole in the refrigerant container.
6) Turn the charge valve handle counterclockwise to
raise the needle. The refrigerant in the refrigerant
container is charged into the air conditioning system
by the operation of the manifold gauge.
·Be absolutely sure not to reuse the emptied
refrigerant container.Charge valve handle

1B Ð 20 AIR CONDITIONING
1) Make sure the evacuation process is correctly
completed.
2) Connect the center-hose of the manifold gauge to the
refrigerant container.
·Turn the charge valve handle counterclockwise to
purge the charging line and purge any air existing
in the center-hose of the manifold gauge.
3) Open the low-pressure hand valve and charge the
refrigerant about 200 g(0.44 lbs.).
·Make sure the high-pressure hand valve is closed.
·Avoid charging the refrigerant by turning the
refrigerant container upside down.
4) Close the low-pressure hand valve of the manifold
gauge.
·Check to ensure that the degree of pressure does
not charge.
5) Check the refrigerant leaks by using a HFC-134a leak
detector.
·If a leak occurs, repair the leak connection, and
start all over again from the first step of
evacuation.
6) If no leaks are found, open the low-pressure hand
valve of the manifold gauge.Then continue charging
refrigerant to the system.
·When charging the system becomes difficult:
(1) Run the engine at Idling and close the all
vehicle doors.
(2) A/C switch is ÒONÓ.
(3) Set the fan control knob (fan switch) to its
highest position.
WARNING
BE ABSOLUTELY SURE NOT TO OPEN THE HIGH-
PRESSURE HAND VALVE. SHOULD THE HIGH-
PRESSURE HAND VALVE BE OPENED, THE HIGH-
PRESSURE REFRIGERANT GAS WOULD FLOW
BACKWARD, AND THIS MAY CAUSE THE
REFRIGERANT CONTAINER TO BURST.
7) When the refrigerant container is emptied, use the
following procedure to replace it with a new
refrigerant container.
(1) Close the low pressure hand valve.
(2) Raise the needle upward and remove the charge
valve.
(3) Reinstall the charge valve to the new refrigerant
container.
(4) Purge any air existing in the center hose of the
manifold gauge.
