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.

2. Ignition Trouble Ð Starting Motor Turns Over But Engine Does Not Start
Spark Test
Disconnect an igniton coil from any spark plug. Connect
the spark plug tester 5±8840±0607±0, start the engine,
and check if a spark is generated in the spark plug tester.
Before starting the engine, make sure that the spark plugtester is properly grounded. To avoid electrical shock, do
not touch the part where insulation of the igniton coil is
broken while the engine is running.

Engine Oil Pressure Check
1. Check for dirt, gasoline or water in the engine oil.
a. Check the viscosity of the oil.
b. Change the oil if the viscosity is outside the
specified standard.
c. Refer to the ªMaintenance and Lubricationº section
of this manual.
2. Check the engine oil level.
The level should fall somewhere between the ªADDº
and the ªFULLº marks on the oil level dipstick.
If the oil level does not reach the ªADDº mark on the
oil level dipstick, engine oil must be added.3. Remove the oil pressure unit.
4. Install an oil pressure gauge.
5. Start the engine and allow the engine to reach normal
operating temperature (About 80C).
6. Measure the oil pressure.
Oil pressure should be:
392±550 kPa (56.9±80.4  psi) at 3000 rpm.
7. Stop the engine.
8. Remove the oil pressure gauge.
9. Install the oil pressure unit.
10. Start the engine and check for leaks.
