Condition Possible Cause Correction
A large rattling noise
is heard at idle or sud-
den acceleration.Loosen crankshaft pulley bolt Retighten bolt.
Condition Possible Cause Correction
Clattering noise is
heard from pulley.Worn or damaged bearing Replace tension pulley.
Pulley cranks upon
contact.Cracked or loose bracket Replace or retighten bracket.
Condition Possible Cause Correction
Whistling sound is
heard from A/C evapo-
rator.Depending on the combination of the interior/
exterior temperatures, engine rpm and refriger-
ant pressure, the refrigerant flowing out of the
expansion valve may, under certain conditions,
make a whistling soundAt times, slightly decreasing refrig-
erant volume may stop this noise.
Inspect expansion valve and
replace if faulty.
Condition Possible Cause Correction
Blower fan motor
emits a chirping
sound in proportion to
its speed of rotation.Worn or damaged motor brushes or commuta-
torRepair or replace blower fan motor.
Fluttering noise or
large droning noise is
heard from blower fan
motor.Leaves or other debris introduced from fresh air
inlet to blower fan motorRemove debris and make sure that
the screen at fresh air inlet is intact.

QUICKLY CHECKING OF REFRIGERANT
CHARGE
The following procedure can be used for quickly checking
whether the A/C system has a proper charge of refrigerant or not.
Run engine at fast idle, and operate A/C at its maximum cooling
capacity for a few minutes.
Then, look at the sight glass (1) on condenser outlet pipe (2) and
compare what is observed with the symptoms listed in below.
CHECKING REFRIGERANT CHARGE
[A] : LH model 3. Bubbles
[B] : RH model 4. A/C refrigerant pressure switch
Item
No.Symptom Charge of refrigerant condi-
tionCorrection
1 Bubbles observed in sight glass Insufficient charge of refrigerant
in systemCheck system for leaks with a
leak tester.
2 No bubbles observed in sight glass No or insufficient charge of
refrigerant in systemRefer to the items 3 and 4.
3 No temperature difference between
compressor inlet and outletEmpty or nearly empty system Evacuate and charge system
and then check it for leaks with
a leak tester.
4 Noticeable temperature difference
between compressor inlet and out-
letProper or too much charge of
refrigerant in systemRefer to the items 5 and 6.
5 When A/C is turned OFF, refriger-
ant in sight glass clears immedi-
ately and remains clearToo much charge of refrigerant
in systemRecharge with specified amount
of refrigerant.
6 When A/C is turned OFF, refriger-
ant in sight glass once produces
bubbles and then clearsProper charge of refrigerant in
systemNo correction needed because
charge of refrigerant is normal.
NOTE:
For specified amount of refrigerant, refer to “OPERATION PROCEDURE FOR A/C WITH REFRIGER-
ANT” in this section.

1B-10 AIR CONDITIONING (OPTIONAL)
PERFORMANCE DIAGNOSIS
1) Confirm that vehicle and environmental conditions are as fol-
lows.
Vehicle is not exposed to direct sun.
Ambient temperature is within 15 – 35°C (59 – 95°F).
2) Make sure that high pressure valve (1) and low pressure
valve (2) of manifold gauge set (3) are firmly closed.
3) Connect high pressure charging hose (4) to high pressure
service valve (5), and connect low pressure charging hose
(6) to low pressure service valve (7).
4) Bleed the air in charging hoses (4), (6) by loosening their
respective nuts on manifold gauge set (3), utilizing the refrig-
erant pressure. When a hissing sound is heard, immediately
tighten nut.
5) Warm up engine to normal operating temperature (engine
coolant temperature at 80 – 90°C (176 – 194°F)) and keep it
at specified idle speed. (Radiator cooling fan should not be
working when checking pressure and temperature.)
6) Turn A/C switch to ON position, and set blower fan switch at
“H” (4th position), temperature dial at “COOL”, air outlet con-
trol dial at “FACE” and fresh/recirculation control dial at
“RECIRCULATION”. (Confirm that A/C compressor and radi-
ator/condenser cooling fan are working.)
Keep all windows, doors and engine food open.
Performance diagnosis condition
7) With dry bulb thermometer (1) inserted into center duct air
outlet and another one set near evaporator air inlet, read
temperature indicated on each thermometer. CAUTION:
Do not interchange high and low pressure charging
hoses by mistake.
Ambient temperature 15 – 35°C (59 – 95°F)
Engine rpm Keep to 1,500 rpm.

8) Check for each pressure of low side and high side if it is
within shaded range of graph.
If each gauge reading is out of specified pressure, correct
defective part referring to “PERFORMANCE DIAGNOSIS
TABLE”.
Low side and high side pressure example :
9) Check inlet port temperature-to-outlet port temperature rela-
tionship using graph.
For example, if evaporator inlet port temperature is 25°C
(75°F) and center duct air outlet temperature is 8°C (46°F),
their crossing point is within acceptable range as shown in
graph.
If crossing point is out of acceptable range, diagnose trouble
referring to “PERFORMANCE DIAGNOSIS TABLE”. NOTE:
Pressure registered on gauge varies with ambient tem-
perature. Therefore, use the graphs when determining if
pressures are normal or not.
Gauges should read as follows when ambient tempera-
ture is 30°C (86°F).
