REMOVING MANIFOLD GAUGE SET
When A / C system has been charged with a specified amount of re-
frigerant, remove manifold gauge set as follows:
1) Close low pressure-side valve of manifold gauge set, (The high
pressure-side valve is closed continuously during the process
of charging.).
2) Close refrigerant container valve.
3) Stop engine.
4) Using shop rag, remove charging hoses from service valves.
This operation must be performed rapidly.
WARNING:
High pressure-side is naturally under high pressure.
So, care must be used to protect your eyes and skin.
5) Put caps on service valves.
LEAK-TESTING REFRIGERANT SYSTEM
Whenever a refrigerant leak is suspected in the system or any ser-
vice operation has been performed which may result in disturbing
lines or connections, it is advisable to test for leaks.
Common sense should be used in performing any refrigerant leak
test, since the need and extent of any such test will, in general, de-
pend upon the nature of a complaint and the type of a service per-
formed on the system.
LIQUID LEAK DETECTORS
There are a number of fittings and places throughout the air condi-
tioning system where a liquid leak detector solution may be used
to pinpoint refrigerant leaks.
By merely applying the solution to the area in question with a swab,
bubbles will form within seconds if there is a leak.
For confined areas, such as sections of the evaporator and con-
denser, an electronic (gas) leak detector is more practical for deter-
mining leaks.
WARNING:

To prevent explosions or fires, make sure that there are no
flammables in the vicinity.

When exposed to fire, the refrigerant turns into a poison-
ous gas (phosgene). Do not inhale this gas.

INSPECTION
Refer to ªTroubleshooting Procedure Using Manifold Gauge Setº in
this section.
REMOVAL
1) Recover refrigerant by using recovery and recycling equipment.
Be sure to follow the instruction manual for the equipment. The
amount of compressor oil removed must be measured and the
same amount added to the system.
2) Remove front grill.
3) Disconnect suction pipe (1), and liquid pipe (2) from evaporator
(Cooling unit).
CAUTION:
As soon as above hose and pipe are disconnected, cap
opened fittings so that moisture and dust may not enter
cooling unit.
4) Disconnect suction pipe, and liquid pipe from suction hose (1)
and condenser outlet pipe (2).
5) Remove pipe clamp then remove suction pipe and liquid pipe.
6) Remove expansion valve (1).
INSTALLATION
1) Reverse removal sequence to install expansion valve.
2) Evacuate and charge system. Refer to ªEVACUATINGº and
ªCHARGINGº in this section.

DUAL PRESSURE SWITCH
INSPECTION
1) Check dual pressure switch (1) on liquid pipe for continuity at
normal temperature (approx. 25
C (77
F)) when A / C system
has a proper charge of refrigerant and when A / C system (com-
pressor) is under operation. In each of these cases, switch
should show proper continuity.
2) Using a manifold gauge set, check switch for operation at speci-
fied pressure as shown, refer to ªPERFORMANCE DIAGNO-
SISº in this section.
Switch ON : above ªCº and below ªDº
Switch OFF : below ªAº or above ªBº

COMPRESSOR ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
None of refrigerant, compressor oil and component parts is interchangeable between two types of A / C:
one using CFC-12 (R-12) and the other using HFC-134a (R-134a).
For identification between these two types, refer to page 1B-2.
When replenishing or changing refrigerant and compressor oil and when replacing parts, make sure
that the material or the part to be used is appropriate to the A / C installed in the vehicle being serviced.
Use of incorrect refrigerant or compressor oil will result in leakage of refrigerant, damage in parts or
other faulty condition.
PRECAUTION
When servicing the compressor, keep dirt or foreign material away from getting on or into the compressor parts
and system. Clean tools and a clean work area are important for proper service.
The compressor connection and the outside of the compressor should be cleaned before any ªOn-vehicleº repair
or before removal of the compressor. The parts must be kept clean at all times and any parts to be reassembled
should be cleaned with Trichloroethane, naphtha, kerosene or equivalent solvent and dried with dry air. Use only
lint free cloths to wipe parts.
The operations described are based on bench overhaul with compressor removed from the vehicle, except as
noted. They have been prepared in order of accessibility of the components.
When compressor is removed from the vehicle for servicing, the oil remaining in the compressor should be dis-
carded and new refrigerant oil added to the compressor.
Minor repair procedures may be done on the vehicle without discharging the system. Major repair procedures re-
quire that the system be discharged of refrigerant.
INSPECTION
1) Install manifold gauge set (1) as shown in the figure.
2) Close Hi (4) and Lo (5) hand valves.
3) Run engine at fast idle.
4) Check compressor assembly for following items.
If any of the above checks indicated a defect, repair compressor
assembly.

High pressure gauge reading is not low and low pressure
gauge reading is not higher than normal.
