Mode door control speci®cation
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
The mode door motor is attached to the heater unit. It rotates so
that air is discharged from the outlet set by the auto ampli®er. Motor
rotation is conveyed to a link which activates the mode door.

Air mix door control speci®cation
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
The air mix door motor is attached to the heater unit. It rotates so
that the air mix door is opened or closed to a position set by the
auto ampli®er. Motor rotation is then conveyed through a shaft and
the air mix door position is then fed back to the auto ampli®er by
PBR built-in air mix door motor.

In-vehicle Sensor
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
In-vehicle sensor
The in-vehicle sensor is located on instrument lower panel. It con-
verts variations in temperature of compartment air drawn from the
aspirator into a resistance value. It is then input into the auto ampli-
®er.
Aspirator
The aspirator is located in front of heater unit. It produces vacuum
pressure due to air discharged from the heater unit, continuously
taking compartment air in the aspirator.

3. Move probe along component approximately 25 to 50 mm (1 to
2 in)/sec.
CHECKING PROCEDURE
To prevent inaccurate or false readings, make sure there is no
refrigerant vapor or tobacco smoke in the vicinity of the
vehicle. Perform the leak test in calm area (low air/wind move-
ment) so that the leaking refrigerant is not dispersed.
1. Turn engine off.
2. Connect a suitable A/C manifold gauge set to the A/C service
ports.
3. Check if the A/C refrigerant pressure is at least 345 kPa (3.452
bar, 3.52 kg/cm
2, 50 psi) above 16ÉC (61ÉF). If less than
speci®cation, evacuate and recharge the system with the speci-
®ed amount of refrigerant.
NOTE: At temperatures below 16ÉC (61ÉF), leaks may not be
detected since the system may not reach 345 kPa
(3.452 bar, 3.52 kg/cm
2, 50 psi).
4. Conduct the leak test from the high side to the low side at points
in alphabetical order (j
a,jb......). Refer to HA-117.
Perform a leak check for the following areas carefully. Clean the
component to be checked and move the leak detector probe
completely around the connection/component.
+Compressor
Check the ®tting of high and low pressure hoses, relief valve
and shaft seal.
+Liquid tank
Check the pressure switch, tube ®tting, weld seams and the
fusible plug mounts.
+Service valves
Check all around the service valves. Ensure service valve caps
are secured on the service valves (to prevent leaks).
NOTE: After removing A/C manifold gauge set from service
valves, wipe any residue from valves to prevent any
false readings by leak detector.
+Cooling unit (Evaporator)
Turn blower fan on ``High'' for at least 15 seconds to dissipate
any refrigerant trace in the cooling unit. Insert the leak detector
probe into the drain hose immediately after stopping the
engine. (Keep the probe inserted for at least ten seconds.)
5. If a leak detector detects a leak, verify at least once by blowing
compressed air into area of suspected leak, then repeat check.
6. Do not stop when one leak is found. Continue to check for
additional leaks at all system components.
7. Start engine.
8. Set the heater A/C control as follows:
a. A/C switch ON
b. Face mode
c. Recirculation switch ON
d. Max cold temperature
e. Fan speed high
