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.

COMPRESSOR AND MAGNETIC
CLUTCH
ON±VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. INSPECT COMPRESSOR FOR METALLIC SOUND
(a) Start engine.
(b) Check if there is a metallic sound from the compressor
when the A/C switch is on.
If metallic sound is heard, replace the compressor assembly.
2. INSPECT REFRIGERANT PRESSURE
See ºON±VEHICLE INSPECTIONº of AIR CONDITIONING
SYSTEM on page AC±3.
3. INSPECT COMPRESSOR LOCK SENSOR RESIS-
TANCE
(a) Disconnect the connector.
(b) Measure resistance between terminals 1 and 2.
Standard resistance: 65 ± 125 W at 20 °C (68 °F)
If resistance is not as specified, replace the compressor assem-
bly.
4. INSPECT VISUALLY FOR LEAKAGE OF REFRIGER-
ANT FROM SAFETY SEAL
Using a gas leak detector, check for leakage of refrigerant.
If there is any leakage, replace the compressor assembly.
5. CHECK FOR LEAKAGE OF GREASE FROM CLUTCH
BEARING
6. CHECK FOR SIGNS OF OIL ON PRESSURE PLATE OR
ROTOR
7. INSPECT MAGNETIC CLUTCH BEARING FOR NOISE
(a) Start engine.
(b) Check for abnormal noise from near the compressor
when the A/C switch is OFF.
If abnormal noise is being emitted, replace the magnetic clutch.
8. INSPECT MAGNETIC CLUTCH OPERATION
(a) Disconnect the connector.
(b) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
4 and the negative (±) lead to the body ground.
(c) Check that the magnetic clutch is energized.
If operation is not as specified, replace the magnetic clutch.
