ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. INSPECT FOR LEAKAGE OF REFRIGERANT
(a) Remove the glove compartment door.
(b) Remove the lower No. 2 finish panel
(See page BO-84).
(c) Remove the No. 1 cooler cover.
(1) Disconnect the connector clamp.
(2) Remove the 8 screws and No. 1 cooler cover.
(d) Using a gas leak detector, check for leaks of refrigerant.
If there is a leakage of refrigerant, check the tightening torque
at the joints or check the evaporator.
(e) Install the No. 1 cooler cover.
2. INSPECT EXPANSION VALVE
(a) Check amount of gas during refrigeration cycle.
(b) Set on manifold gauge set.
(c) Operate A/C system at ºMAX. COOLº for approx. 5 min-
utes.
(d) Check expansion valve.
Check the low pressure reading drops to 0 kPa (0
kgf/cm
2, 0 psi).
If the low pressure reading is not as specified, replace the ex-
pansion valve with the tubes.

(e) Inspect the expansion valve.
(1) Run the engine at 1,500 rpm for at least 5 minutes.
(2) Check the high pressure reading is 1.37 - 1.57 MPa
(14 - 16 kgf/cm
2, 199 - 288 psi).
(3) Check the low pressure reading.
If the low pressure reading is 0 kPa (0 kgf/cm
2, 0psi), replace
the expansion valve.
2. REMOVE REAR DOOR SCUFF PLATE RH
3. REMOVE REAR FLOOR MAT SUPPORT PLATE

Standard resistance: Approx. 1.5 kW at 25 °C (77 °F)
If resistance is not as specified, proceed ºINSPECTIONº on
page AC-36.
6. INSPECT MAGNETIC VALVE CONTINUITY
(a) Disconnect the connector.
(b) Check the continuity exists between terminal 1 and 2.
If resistance is not as specified, proceed ºINSPECTIONº on
page AC-36.
7. CHECK FOR LEAKAGE OF REFRIGERANT
(a) Remove the power transistor.
(b) Using a gas leak detector, check for leaks of refrigerant.
If there is a leakage, check the evaporator or tightening torque
at the joints.
