Precautions for Refrigerant Connection
A new type refrigerant connection has been introduced to all refrigerant lines except the following location.
+Expansion valve to cooling unit
FEATURES OF NEW TYPE REFRIGERANT CONNECTION
+The O-ring has been relocated. It has also been provided with a groove for proper installation. This elimi-
nates the chance of the O-ring being caught in, or damaged by, the mating part. The sealing direction of the
O-ring is now set vertically in relation to the contacting surface of the mating part to improve sealing char-
acteristics.
+The reaction force of the O-ring will not occur in the direction that causes the joint to pull out, thereby
facilitating piping connections.
CAUTION:
The new and former refrigerant connections use different O-ring configurations. Do not confuse
O-rings since they are not interchangeable. If a wrong O-ring is installed, refrigerant will leak at, or
around, the connection.

Checking Refrigerant Leaks
CHECKING PROCEDURE
To prevent inaccurate or false readings, make sure there is
no refrigerant vapor or tobacco smoke in the vicinity of the
vehicle. Perform the leak test in calm area (low air/wind
movement) so that the leaking refrigerant is not dispersed.
1. Turn engine off.
2. Connect a suitable A/C manifold gauge set to the A/C ser-
vice ports.
3. Check if the A/C refrigerant pressure is at least 345 kPa
(3.452 bar, 3.52 kg/cm
2, 50 psi) above 16ÉC (61ÉF). If less
than specification, evacuate and recharge the system with
the specified amount of refrigerant.
NOTE: At temperatures below 16ÉC (61ÉF), leaks may not be
detected since the system may not reach 345 kPa
(3.452 bar, 3.52 kg/cm
2, 50 psi).
4. Conduct the leak test from the high side to the low side at
points
jathroughjn. Refer to HA-3030.
Perform a leak check for the following areas carefully. Clean
the component to be checked and move the leak detector
probe completely around the connection/component.
+Compressor
Check the fitting of high and low pressure hoses, relief valve
and shaft seal.
+Liquid tank
Check the pressure switch, tube fitting, weld seams and the
fusible plug mounts.
+Service valves
Check all around the service valves. Ensure service valve
caps are secured on the service valves (to prevent leaks).
NOTE: After removing A/C manifold gauge set from service
valves, wipe any residue from valves to prevent any
false readings by leak detector.
+Cooling unit (Evaporator)
Turn blower fan on ªHighº for at least 15 seconds to dissipate
any refrigerant trace in the cooling unit. Insert the leak detec-
tor probe into the drain hose immediately after stopping the
engine. (Keep the probe inserted for at least ten seconds.)
5. If a leak detector detects a leak, verify at least once by
blowing compressed air into area of suspected leak, then
repeat check.
6. Do not stop when one leak is found. Continue to check for
additional leaks at all system components.
7. Start engine.
8. Set the heater A/C control as follows:
a. A/C switch ON
b. Face mode
c. Recirculation switch ON
d. Max cold temperature
e. Fan speed high
9. Run engine at 1,500 rpm for at least 2 minutes.
10. Turn engine off and perform leak check again following steps
4 through 6 above.

The following tables show the normal maintenance schedule. Depending upon weather and atmospheric
conditions, varying road surfaces, individual driving habits and vehicle usage, additional or more frequent
maintenance may be required.
Periodic maintenance beyond the last period shown on the tables requires similar maintenance.
