PRECAUTION
1. DO NOT HANDLE REFRIGERANT IN AN ENCLOSED
AREA OR NEAR AN OPEN FLAME
2. ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION
3. BE CAREFUL NOT TO GET LIQUID REFRIGERANT IN
YOUR EYES OR ON YOUR SKIN
If liquid refrigerant gets in your eyes or on your skin.
(a) Wash the area with lots of cool water.
CAUTION:
Do not rub your eyes or skin.
(b) Apply clean petroleum jelly to the skin.
(c) Go immediately to a physician or hospital for professional
treatment.
4. NEVER HEAT CONTAINER OR EXPOSE IT TO NAKED
FLAME
5. BE CAREFUL NOT TO DROP CONTAINER AND NOT
TO APPLY PHYSICAL SHOCKS TO IT
6. DO NOT OPERATE COMPRESSOR WITHOUT
ENOUGH REFRIGERANT IN REFRIGERANT SYSTEM
If there is not enough refrigerant in the refrigerant system oil lu-
brication will be insufficient and compressor burnout may occur,
so take care to avoid this, necessary care should be taken.
7. DO NOT OPEN HIGH PRESSURE MANIFOLD VALVE
WHILE COMPRESSOR IS OPERATING
If the high pressure valves opened, refrigerant flows in the re-
verse direction and could cause the charging cylinder to rup-
ture, so open and close the only low pressure valve.
8. BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVERCHARGE SYSTEM WITH
REFRIGERANT
If refrigerant is overcharged, it causes problems such as insuffi-
cient cooling, poor fuel economy, engine overheating etc.

1/2: Approx. 110.5 (4.35) ± 3 (0.12)Approx. 33.0 ± 3.0
E: Approx. 206.5 (8.13) ± 3 (0.12)Approx. 61.3 ± 1.0
If resistance value is not as specified, replace the sub sender
gauge.
14. INSPECT ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE RE-
CEIVER GAUGE OPERATION (See page DI±754)
15. INSPECT ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE RE-
CEIVER GAUGE RESISTANCE

the stopper.
Tester connectionResistance (W)
A ± B140 ± 185
C ± D130 ± 175
If resistance value is not as specified, replace the receiver
gauge.
HINT:
This circuit includes the diode.
If resistance value is not as specified, replace the receiver
gauge.
16. INSPECT LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT

INSPECTION
1. INSPECT LINES AND CONNECTORS
Visually check for loose connections, sharp bends or damage.
2. INSPECT FUEL TANK FILLER PIPE
Visually check for deformation, cracks or fuel leakage.
3. VISUALLY INSPECT FUEL TANK CAP
Check if the cap and/or gasket are deformed or damaged.
If necessary, repair or replace the cap.
4. INSPECT EVAP SYSTEM LINE
(a) Warm up the engine and stop the engine.
Allow the engine to warm up to normal operating tempera-
ture.
(b) Install a vacuum gauge (EVAP control system test equip-
ment vacuum gauge) to the EVAP service port on the
purge line.
(c) LEXUS Hand±Held Tester:
Forced driving of the VSV for the EVAP.
(1) Connect a LEXUS hand±held tester to the DLC3.
(2) Start the engine.
(3) Push the LEXUS hand±held tester main switch ON.
(4) Use the ACTIVE TEST mode on the LEXUS hand±
held tester to operate the VSV for the EVAP.
(d) If you have no LEXUS Hand±Held Tester:
Forced driving of the VSV for the EVAP.
