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

Warm up engine

Blower speed control switch at ºHIº position

A/C switch ON

Temperature control dial at ºCOOLº position
Magnetic clutch conditionIdle±up speed
Magnetic clutch not engaged700 ± 50 rpm
Magnetic clutch engaged700 ± 50 rpm
If idle speed is not as specified, check ISC valve and air intake
system.
4. INSPECT FOR LEAKAGE OF REFRIGERANT
(a) Perform in these conditions:

Stop engine.

Secure good ventilation (If not the gas leak detector
may react to volatile gases witch are not refrigerant,
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 stopped, leave the cooling unit for
more than 15 minutes.

Expose the gas leak detector sensor the 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
and perform the test.

3. CHARGE REFRIGERANT INTO REFRIGERANT SYS-
TEM
If there is no leak after refrigerant leak check, charge the proper
amount of refrigerant into refrigeration system.
CAUTION:

Never run the engine when charging the system
through the high pressure side.

Do not open the low pressure hand valve when the
system is being charged with liquid refrigerant.
(a) Open the high pressure hand valve fully.
(b) Charge specified amount of refrigerant, then close the
high pressure hand valve.
HINT:
A fully charged system is indicated by the sight glass being free
of any bubbles.
(c) Charge partially refrigeration system with refrigerant.
(1) Set vehicle in these conditions:

Running engine at 1,500 rpm

Blower speed control set at ºHIº

Temperature control set at ºMAX. COOLº

Air inlet control set at ºRECIRCº

Fully open doors (Sliding roof: closed)
(2) Open the low pressure hand valve.
CAUTION:
Do not open the high pressure hand valve.
(d) Charge refrigerant until bubbles disappear and check the
pressure on the gauge through the sight glass.
