HEATER AND MANUAL AIR CONDITIONER – On-vehicle Service55-12
Caution
(1) To connect the quick joint, press section “A” firmly
against the service valve until a click is heard.
(2) When connecting, run your hand along the hose
while pressing to ensure that there are no bends
in the hose.
5. Start the engine.
6. Set the blower switch to HI (Fast) position
7. Set the A/C switch to ON position
8. Set the temperature control to Max. cooling position
9. Set the mode selection to Face position
10. Set the air selection to Recirculation position
11. Fix engine speed to 1,500 r/min.
12. Check that the high-pressure side pressure is 1,667 –
1,765 kPa.
NOTE
If the pressure is not within this range, adjust it as follows;
cool down the condenser using a cooling fan if the
pressure is higher, and cover the condenser to protect
it from ventilation air if it is lower.
13. Set a dry-bulb/wet-bulb thermometer at the air inlet, and
set a dry-bulb thermometer at the air outlet.
Caution
(1) Set the dry-bulb thermometer at a position where
the temperature sensing section can be directly
blown with cooled air.
(2) Place the dry-bulb/wet-bulb thermometer at a
position where it is not exposed to cooled air
blown out.
14. After the temperature of the air blown out from the air
outlet has been stabilized (10 – 15 minutes after starting),
read the dry-bulb thermometer set at the air outlet and
the wet-valve thermometer set at the air inlet.
15. The air conditioning system is considered in good
condition if the intersecting point of the measurements
obtained in Step (14) is below the performance evaluation
reference line on the graph.
Caution
Do not remove the quick joint immediately after the
performance test has been completed. Stop the engine
and wait until the high-pressure side pressure of the
gauge manifold has been lowered sufficiently.

IDLE-UP OPERATION CHECK
1. Before inspection and adjustment, set vehicle in the
pre-inspection condition:
2. Check whether or not the idle speed is the standard value.
Standard value: 700 ± 50 r/min
NOTE
There is no necessity to make an adjustment, because
the idle speed is automatically adjusted by the ISC system.
If, however, there occurs a deviation from the standard
value for some reason, check the fuel control system.
3. When the A/C is running after turning the A/C switch
to ON, check to be sure that the idle speed is at the
standard value.
Standard value: 850 ± 50 r/min

INSTALLATION SERVICE POINT
ACOMPRESSOR INSTALLATION
If a new compressor is installed, first adjust the amount of
oil according to the procedures described below, and then
install the compressor.
1. Measure the amount (X m
) of oil within the removed
compressor.
2. Drain (from the new compressor) the amount of oil
calculated according to the following formula, and then
install the new compressor.
New compressor oil amount
120 to 140 m
– X m
= Y m

NOTE
(1)“120 to 140 ml” is the amount of oil filled in a new
compressor.
(2) Y m
indicates the amount of oil in the refrigerant
line, the condenser, the cooling unit etc.
INSPECTION
REFRIGERANT-TEMPERATURE SWITCH SIMPLE
CHECK
When the A/C is off, check that there is continuity between
the refrigerant-temperature switch terminals. If no, replace
the compressor assembly.
COMPRESSOR MAGNETIC CLUTCH OPERATION
INSPECTION
Connect the battery (+) terminal to the compressor side
terminal, and earth the battery (–) terminal to the body of
the compressor. The condition is normal if the sound of the
magnetic clutch (click) can be heard.AView A

REMOVAL
Remove the clamp bolt of the power steering oil cooler pipe.
Remove the fan motor and shroud assembly while pulling
the power steering oil cooler pipe toward you.
BDISCHARGE HOSE / LIQUID PIPE A
DISCONNECTION
Plug the open end of the disconnected hose and the opening
in the cooling unit not to let foreign matter get into them.
Caution
Seal the hoses completely, otherwise the compressor
oil and receiver will absorb water vapour easily.
CCONDENSER REMOVAL
Move the radiator to the engine side and then lift up the
condenser to remove it.

Inspection procedure 13
Condenser fan does not operate.
Probable cause
If the condenser fan does not turn when the A/C is ON, the cause is probably
a malfunction of the condenser fan motor activation circuit. In this case, reduced
cooling performance will be caused if the vehicle is not running.
