Tire Inspection and Rotation
1) Check tires for uneven or excessive wear, or damage.
If defective, replace.
Refer to Section 3 for details.
2) Check inflating pressure of each tire and adjust pressure to
specification as necessary.
Refer to Section 3F for details.
NOTE:

Tire inflation pressure should be checked when tires are
cool.

Specified tire inflation pressure should be found on tire
placard or in owner's manual which came with the vehicle.
3) Rotate tires.
For details, refer to Section 3F.
ITEM 6-7
Wheel Discs Inspection
Inspect each wheel disc for dents, distortion and cracks. A disc in
badly damaged condition must be replaced.
Wheel Bearing Inspection
1) Check front wheel bearing for wear, damage, abnormal noise or
rattles. For details, refer to Section 3D.
2) Check rear wheel bearing for wear, damage, abnormal noise or
rattles. For details, refer to Section 3E.

DIAGNOSIS OF ABNORMAL NOISE
There are various types of noise, ranging from those produced in the engine compartment to those from the pas-
senger compartment, also from rumbling noises to whistling noises.
ABNORMAL NOISE FROM COMPRESSOR
ConditionPossible CauseCorrection

During compressor operation, a
rumbling noise is heard
proportional to engine
revolutions.
Inadequate clearance in piston
area (piston or swash-plate).
Repair or replace compressor as
necessary.

A loud noise is heard at a certain
rpm, disproportionately to engine
revolution.
Loose or faulty V-belt.

Loose mounting bolts.
Adjust V-belt tension, or
replace belt.

Retighten mounting bolts.

A loud rattle is heard at low
engine rpm.
Loose compressor center bolt.
Retighten center bolt.

Replace compressor if it was
operated in this condition for a
long time.
ABNORMAL NOISE FROM MAGNETIC CLUTCH
ConditionPossible CauseCorrection

A rumbling noise is heard when
compressor is not operating.
Worn or damaged bearings.
Replace bearings.

A chattering noise is heard when
compressor is engaged.
Faulty clutch gap (excessive).

Worn clutch friction surface.

Compressor oil leaked from shaft
seal, contaminating the friction
surface.
Adjust clutch gap.

Replace clutch.

Replace compressor shaft oil
seal.
ABNORMAL NOISE FROM TUBING
ConditionPossible CauseCorrection

A droning noise is heard inside
vehicle, but not particularly
noticeable in engine
compartment.
Faulty tubing clamps.

Resonance caused by pulsation
from variations in refrigerant
pressure.
Reposition clamps or increase
the number of clamps.

Attach a silencer to tubing, or
modify its position and length.
ABNORMAL NOISE FROM CONDENSER
ConditionPossible CauseCorrection

Considerable vibration in
condenser.
Resonance from condenser
mounting stay and body.
Firmly insert a silencer between
condenser mounting stay and
body.

ABNORMAL NOISE FROM CRANKSHAFT PULLEY
ConditionPossible CauseCorrection

A large rattling noise is heard at
idle or sudden acceleration.
Loosen pulley mounting bolt.

Worn or broken bearings.
Retighten bolt.

Replace bearings.
ABNORMAL NOISE FROM TENSION PULLEY
ConditionPossible CauseCorrection

Clattering noise is heard from
pulley.

Pulley cranks upon contact.
Worn or damaged bearings.

Cracked or loose bracket.
Replace bearings.

Replace or retighten bracket.
ABNORMAL NOISE FROM EVAPORATOR
ConditionPossible CauseCorrection

Whistling sound is heard from
evaporator.
Depending on the combination of
the interior / exterior
temperatures, engine rpm and
refrigerant pressure, the
refrigerant flowing out of the
expansion valve may, under
certain conditions, make a
whistling sound.
At times, slightly decreasing
refrigerant volume may stop this
noise.

Inspect expansion valve and
replace if faulty.
ABNORMAL NOISE FROM BLOWER MOTOR
ConditionPossible CauseCorrection

Blower motor emits a chirping
sound in proportion to its speed of
rotation.

Fluttering noise or large droning
noise is heard from blower motor.
Worn or damaged motor brushes
or commutator.

Leaves or other debris
introduced from fresh air inlet to
blower motor.
Repair or replace blower motor.

Remove debris and make sure
that the screen at fresh air inlet is
intact.

COMPRESSION SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS
Compressor troubles are mainly following three types: gas leakage, noise and insufficient pressure.
Compressor gas leakages in most cases develop from the shaft seal. When detecting gas leakage, always use
a leak tester. If a small amount of oil seeps out from the shaft seal, there is no necessity of replacing the seal. The
shaft seal has been designed to allow a small amount of oil to leak out for lubricating purpose. Thus, the shaft seal
should be replaced only when a large amount of compressor oil is leaking out or when gas leakage is discovered
by using gas tester.
In regard to noise and insufficient pressure, repairs should be made only after diagnosing the trouble properly.

4) Clutch pulley (1).
(1) Set clutch pulley squarely over clutch pulley installation boss.
(2) Place special tool (D) onto clutch pulley bearing.
Ensure that edge rests only on inner race of bearing.
(3) Install snap ring.
Special Tool

CAUTION:
Be careful not to scratch bearing seal.
5) Adjust clearance, between clutch plate (1) and clutch pulley by
putting shim on compressor shaft.
Standard clearance ªaº: 0.3 ± 0.5 mm (0.012 ± 0.02 in.)

INSPECTION
MAGNET CLUTCH

Inspect clutch plate and clutch pulley for signs of oil.

Check clutch pulley bearings for noise and grease leakage.

Using and ohmmeter, measure resistance of clutch coil between
clutch coil lead wire (1) and compressor body.
If measured resistance is not within tolerance, replace coil.
Standard resistance: 2.5 ± 4.5
at 20C, 68F
COMPRESSOR THERMAL SWITCH
Use an ohmmeter to check thermal switch for continuity. If there is
no continuity, replace it.
REMOVAL
1) Remove compressor assembly from vehicle. Refer to COM-
PRESSOR ASSEMBLY in this section.
2) Fix clutch plate (1) with special tool (A) and remove clutch plate
bolt (2).
Special Tool
