3. INSPECT IDLE±UP SPEED
(a) Warm up engine
(b) Inspect idle±up speed when the these conditions are es-
tablished.
Test conditions:

Blower speed control switch at ºHIº position

Temperature control dial at ºCOOLº position

A/C switch ON

Put gear shift in neutral
GS300:
Magnetic clutch conditionIdle±up speed
Magnetic clutch not engaged700 ± 50 rpm
Magnetic clutch engaged800 ± 50 rpm
If idle speed is not as specified, check the idle control system.
GS400:
Magnetic clutch conditionIdle±up speed
Magnetic clutch not engaged750 ± 50 rpm
Magnetic clutch engaged800 ± 50 rpm
If idle speed is not as specified, check the idle control system.
4. INSPECT FOR LEAKAGE OF REFRIGERANT
(a) Perform in these conditions.

Stop engine

Secure good ventilation (If the gas leak detector
may not react volatile gases which are not refriger-
ant, such as evaporated gasoline and exhaust gas)

Repeat the test 2 or 3 times

Make sure that there is some refrigerant remaining
in the refrigeration system.
When compressor is OFF: approx. 392 ± 588 kPa
(4 ± 6 kgf´cm
2, 57 ± 85 psi)
(b) Bring the gas leak detector close to the drain hose before
performing the test.
HINT:

After the blower motor has stopped, leave the cooling for
more than 15 minutes.

Expose the gas leak detector sensor under the drain
hose.

When bring the gas leak detector close to the drain hose,
make sure that the gas leak detector does not react to the
volatile gases.
If such reaction is unavoidable, the vehicle must be lifted up.
(c) If gas leak is not detected on the drain hose, remove the
blower resistor from the cooling unit. Then insert the gas
leak detector sensor into the unit and perform the test.
(d) Disconnect the connector and leave the pressure switch
for approx. 20 minutes. Then bring the gas leak detector
close to the pressure switch and perform the test.
(e) Bring the gas leak detector close to the refrigerant lines.

2. INSPECT KEY INTERLOCK SOLENOID
(a) Disconnect the solenoid connector.
(b) Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between ter-
minals 3 and 4.
Standard resistance: 12 ± 17 W
If the resistance value is not as specified, replace the solenoid.
(c) Touch the solenoid with your finger and check that the so-
lenoid operation can be felt when battery voltage is ap-
plied intermittently to terminals 3 and 4.
If the operation is not as specified, replace the solenoid.
