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.

PERFORMANCE DIAGNOSIS
1) Confirm that vehicle and environmental conditions are as fol-
lows.

Vehicle is not exposed to direct sun.

Ambient temperature is within 15C ± 35C (59F ± 95F).
2) Make sure that high pressure valve (1) and low pressure valve
(2) of manifold gauge are firmly closed.
3) Connect high pressure charging hose (3) to high pressure ser-
vice valve (5) on vehicle, and connect low pressure charging
hose (4) to low pressure service valve (6) on vehicle.
4) Bleed the air in charging hoses (3), (4) by loosening their respec-
tive nuts on manifold gauge, utilizing the refrigerant pressure.
When a hiss is heard, immediately tighten nut.
CAUTION:
Do not interchange high and low pressure charging
hoses by mistake.
5) Warm up engine to normal operating temperature (engine cool-
ant temperature at 80 ± 90C (176 ± 194F)) and keep it at spe-
cified idle speed. (Radiator cooling fan should not be working
when checking pressure and temperature.)
6) Turn A / C switch ON, and set blower switch at ªHIº (4th position),
temperature control knob at ªCOOLº, air outlet control knob at
ªFACEº, fresh / circulation control knob at ªCIRCULATIONº.
(Confirm that A / C compressor and condenser fan are working.)
7) Keep all windows, doors and engine food open.

Increase engine speed to about 1,500 r / min (rpm). Close
gauge valve gradually while watching pressure increase indi-
cated by gauge and take reading of relief pressure (maximum
hydraulic pressure).

When it is higher than specified values, possible cause is mal-
function of relief valve.

When it is lower than specified values, possible cause is either
failure of P / S pump or settling of relief valve spring.
CAUTION:
Be sure not to close gauge valve for longer than 10 se-
conds.

Next, open gauge valve fully and increase engine speed to
about 1,500 r / min (rpm). Then turn steering wheel to the left
or right fully and take reading of relief pressure.

function of relief valve.

When it is lower than specified values, possible cause is failure
in steering gear box. Replace gear box.
CAUTION:
Be sure not to hold steering wheel at fully turned posi-
tion for longer than 10 seconds.
BOOT
STEERING RACK BOOT CHECK
Check boot for crack and damage which, if any, means possibility
of rusty gear, entry of dust or lack of grease. Also, check if any of
such faulty conditions exists.
Check steering rack boot for dent or breakage.
If there is a dent, keep boot in most compressed state for some se-
conds to correct dent.

DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
WARNING:

When performing a road test, select a place where there is no traffic or possibility of a traffic accident
and be very careful during testing to avoid occurrence of an accident.

Road test should be carried out with 2 persons, a driver and a tester, on a level road.
1) Connect scan tool to DLC with ignition switch OFF, if available.
2) Clear DTC.
3) Start engine and shift transfer lever to ª2Hº or ª4Hº range.
4) Drive vehicle at 40 km / h (25 mph) or more for longer than 10 sec. (or higher than 3500 rpm engine speed with
D range for longer than 10 sec.)
5) Stop vehicle and check DTC and / or pending DTC.

STALL TEST
This test is to check overall performance of automatic transmission
and engine by measuring stall speed at ªDº and ªRº ranges. Be sure
to perform this test only when transmission fluid is at normal operat-
ing temperature and its level is between FULL and LOW marks.
CAUTION:

Do not run engine at stall more than 5 seconds continu-
ously, for fluid temperature may rise excessively high.

After performing stall test, be sure to leave engine running
at idle for longer than 30 seconds before another stall test.
1) Apply parking brake and block wheels.
2) Install tachometer.
3) Start engine with select lever shifted to ªPº.
4) Depress brake pedal fully.
5) Shift select lever to ªDº and depress accelerator pedal fully while
watching tachometer. Read engine rpm quickly when it has be-
come constant (stall speed).
6) Release accelerator pedal immediately after stall speed is
checked.
7) In the same way, check stall speed in ªRº range.
