0A-8 GENERAL INFORMATION

When removing the battery, be sure to disconnect the nega-
tive cable first and then the positive cable. When reconnect-
ing the battery, connect the positive cable first and then the
negative cable, and replace the terminal cover.

When removing parts that are to be reused, be sure to keep
them arranged in an orderly manner so that they may be rein-
stalled in the proper order and position.

Whenever you use oil seals, gaskets, packing, O-rings, lock-
ing washers, split pins, self-locking nuts, and certain other
parts as specified, be sure to use new ones. Also, before
installing new gaskets, packing, etc., be sure to remove any
residual material from the mating surfaces.

Make sure that all parts used in reassembly are perfectly
clean.

When use of a certain type of lubricant, bond or sealant is
specified, be sure to use the specified type.
ªAº: Sealant 99000-31150

Be sure to use special tools when instructed.

ITEM 6-8
Suspension System Inspection
Check suspension bolts and nuts for tightness and retighten them
as necessary.
Repair or replace defective parts, if any.
NOTE:
For details of check points, refer to tables of Tightening Torque
Specification in Section 3D and 3E.
Front
1) Check stabilizer bar for damage or deformation.
2) Check bushing for damage, wear or deterioration.
3) Inspect strut for damage, deformation, oil leakage and opera-
tion. If strut is found faulty, replace it as an assembly unit, be-
cause it can not be disassembled.
Refer to strut check Section 3D for operation check.
4) Inspect strut boot for damage or crack.
5) Inspect for cracks or deformation in spring seat.
6) Inspect for deterioration of bump stopper.
7) Inspect strut mount for wear, cracks or deformation.
8) Check ball joint stud dust seal (boot) for leaks, detachment,
tear or other damage. Check suspension arm bushing for dam-
age, wear or deterioration.

Manual Transmission Oil Inspection and Change
Inspection
1) Inspect transmission case for evidence of oil leakage.
Repair leaky point if any.
2) Make sure that vehicle is placed level for oil level check.
3) Remove level plug of transmission.
4) Check oil level.
Oil level can be checked roughly by means of level plug hole.
That is, if oil flows out of level plug hole or if oil level is found up
to hole when level plug is removed, oil is properly filled.
If oil is found insufficient, pour specified amount of specified oil.
5) Tighten level plug to specified torque.
Refer to Section 7A or 7A1 for installation and tightening torque.
Change
Change transmission oil with new specified oil referring to Section
7A or 7A1.
ITEM 6-11
Automatic Transmission Fluid Inspection and Change
Inspection
1) Inspect transmission case for evidence of fluid leakage.
Repair leaky point, if any.
2) Make sure that vehicle is placed level for fluid level check.
3) Check fluid level.
For fluid level checking procedure, refer to On-vehicle service in
Section 7B1 and be sure to perform it under specified conditions.
If fluid level is low, replenish specified fluid.

1B-8 AIR CONDITIONING (OPTIONAL)
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.

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.

REPLENISHING COMPRESSOR OIL
When replacing air conditioning parts with new ones, it is necessary
to replenish oil by the amount supposedly remaining in each part.
When changing gas only
When it is unavoidable to change gas without replacing any compo-
nent part for engine removal and installation or for some other rea-
son, replenish 20 cc oil. When replenishing gas only, oil replenish-
ment it not necessary.
When replacing compressor
Compressor oil is sealed in each new compressor by the amount
required for air conditioner cycle. Therefore, when using a new
compressor for replacement, drain oil from it by the amount calcu-
lated as follows.
ªCº = ªAº ± ªBº
ªCº: Amount of oil to be drained
ªAº: Amount of oil sealed in a new compressor
ªBº: Amount of oil remaining in removed compressor
When replacing other part

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.

Metallic sound.

Leakage from shaft seal.
