AIR CONDITIONING  1B Ð 5
With some compressors the differential between
the intake pressure and discharge pressure
generated while the compressor is operating is
used for lubrication instead of an oil pump.
The specified amount of the DKV-14D, DKS-15CH
and HD6 compressors oil is 150cc (4.2 Imp fl oz).
Also, compressor oil to be used varies according to
the compressor model.  Be sure to avoid mixing
two or more different types of oil.
If the wrong oil is used, lubrication will be poor and
the compressor will seize or malfunction.
The magnetic clutch connector is a waterproof type.
MAGNETIC CLUTCH
The compressor is driven by the drive belt from the
crank pulley of the engine. If the compressor is
activated each time the engine is started, this
causes too much load to the engine. The magnetic
clutch transmits the power from the engine to the
compressor and activates it when the air
conditioning is ÒONÓ. Also, it cuts off the power
from the engine to the compressor when the air
conditioning is ÒOFFÓ. (Magnetic clutch repair
procedure can be found in Section 1D.) 
CONDENSER
The condenser assembly in front of the radiator,
which carry the refrigerant and cooling fins to
provide rapid transfer of heat.
Also, it functions to cool and liquefy the high-
pressure and high-temperature vapor sent from the
compressor by the radiator fan or outside air.
A condenser may malfunction in two ways: it may
leak, or it may be restricted. A condenser restriction
will result in excessive compressor discharge
pressure. If a partial restriction is present, the
refrigerant expands after passing through the
restriction.
Thus, ice or frost may from immediately after the
restriction. If air flow through the condenser or
radiator is blocked, high discharge pressures will
result. During normal condenser operation, the
refrigerant outlet line will be slightly cooler than the
inlet line.
The vehicle is equipped with the condenser of the
parallel flow type condenser. A larger thermal
transmission area on the inner surface of the tube
allows the radiant heat to increase and the
ventilation resistance to decrease.
The refrigerant line connection has a bolt at the
block joint, for easy servicing.
RECEIVER/DRIER
The receiver/drier performs four functions;
·As the quantity of refrigerant circulated varies
depending on the refrigeration cycle conditions,
sufficient refrigerant is stored for the refrigera-
tion cycle to operate smoothly in accordance
with fluctuations in the quantity circulated.
·The liquefied refrigerant from the condenser is
mixed with refrigerant gas containing air
bubbles. If refrigerant containing air bubbles is
sent to the expansion valve, the cooling
capacity will decrease considerably. Therefore,
the liquid and air bubbles are separated and
only the liquid is sent to the expansion valve.
·The receiver/drier utilizes a filter and dryer to
remove the dirt and water mixed in the cycling
refrigerant.
·The sight glass, installed atop the receiver/
drier, show the state of the refrigerant.
A receiver/drier may fail due to a restriction inside
the body of the unit. A restriction at the inlet to the
receiver/drier will cause high pressures.
Outlet restrictions will be indicated by low pressure
and little or no cooling. An excessively cold
receiver/ drier outlet may indicate a restriction.
The receiver/drier of this vehicle is made of
aluminum with a smaller tank. It has 300 cc
(8.5 Imp fl oz) refrigerant capacity.
The refrigerant line connection has a bolt at the
block joint, for easy servicing.

·Check the high and low pressure value of the
manifold gauge.
·Check for refrigerant leaks by using a HFC-134a
leak detector.
Immediately after charging refrigerant, both high and low
pressures are slightly high and to the left of the gauge, but
they settle down to the guide pressure valves as shown
below:
·Ambient temperature; 25 ~30¡C (77 ~86¡F)
·Guide pressure
High-pressure side;
Approx. 1373 Ð 1863 kPa (14 Ð 19 kgácm

Low-pressure side;
Approx. 147 Ð 294 kPa (1.4 Ð 3.0 kgácm
2/ 21 Ð 43 PSI)
9) Close the low pressure hand valve and charge valve
of the refrigerant container.
10) Stop the air conditioning and the engine.
11) Disconnect the high and low pressure hoses from the
manifold gauge fittings.

Almost transparent.
A flow of bubbles
can be seen, but
they disappear
when the throttle is
opened.
The sight glass provides accurate diagnosis only under the following conditions.
If the vehicle can be tested under these conditions, check the sight glass appearance and compare to the
chart.
* Engine speed Idling
* A/C switch ÒONÓ
* Blower fan operating at highest speed
* Air source selector lever at ÒRECIRCÓ
* Temperature control knob at coldest position
* Ambient temperature below 30¡C (86¡F) and humidity below 70% (See NOTE 1)
* High side pressure less than 1863 kPa (19 kgácm
2/ 270 PSI) (See NOTE 2)
NOTE 1
If the vehicle cannot be moved to a testing location that meets these specifications, then the sight glass
cannot be used for diagnosis. You must discharge and recover the refrigerant, then recharge the system
with the specified amount of refrigerant. Then continue checking the system performance.
NOTE 2
If the high side pressure is greater than stated, the sight glass cannot be used for diagnosis. You must
discharge and recover the refrigerant, then recharge the system with the specified amount of refrigerant.
Then continue checking system performance.

Press the A/C switch once.
(The past trouble
diagnosing function will
be turned on.)
Does the A/C LED flashes every 0.5 seconds?
Does each output equipment functions normally according to
operation of the temperature setting lever?
Press the DEF switch for 3
