V-6 Variable Displacement Compressor (With Gasoline Engine: CWV-615M
Compressor)
EJS000TF
GENERAL INFORMATION
1. The V-6 variable compressor differs from previous units. The vent temperatures of the V-6 variable com-
pressor do not drop too far below 5°C (41°F) when:
Evaporator intake air temperature is less than 20°C (68°F).
Engine is running at speeds less than 1,500 rpm.
This is because the V-6 compressor provides a means of "capacity" control.
2. The V-6 variable compressor provides refrigerant control under varying conditions. During cold winters, it
may not produce high refrigerant pressure discharge (compared to previous units) when used with air
conditioning systems.
3. A "clanking" sound may occasionally be heard during refrigerant charge. The sound indicates that the tilt
angle of the swash plate has changed and is not a problem.
4. For air conditioning systems with the V-6 compressor, the clutch remains engaged unless: the system
main switch, fan switch or ignition switch is turned OFF. When ambient (outside) temperatures are low or
when the amount of refrigerant is insufficient, the clutch is disengaged to protect the compressor.
5. A constant range of suction pressure is maintained when engine speed is greater than a certain value. It
normally ranges from 147 to 177 kPa (1.5 to 1.8 kg/cm
2 , 21 to 26 psi) under varying conditions.
In previous compressors, however, suction pressure was reduced with increases in engine speed.

4.CHECK ANY PART
Is there any part to be replaced? (Evaporator, condenser, liquid tank or in case there is evidence of a large
amount of lubricant leakage.)
YES or NO
YES >> Go to AT C - 2 5 , "LUBRICANT ADJUSTING PROCEDURE FOR COMPONENTS REPLACEMENT
EXCEPT COMPRESSOR" .
NO >> Carry out the A/C performance test.
LUBRICANT ADJUSTING PROCEDURE FOR COMPONENTS REPLACEMENT EXCEPT COM-
PRESSOR
After replacing any of the following major components, add the correct amount of lubricant to the system.
Amount of lubricant to be added
*1:If refrigerant leak is small, no addition of lubricant is needed.
LUBRICANT ADJUSTING PROCEDURE FOR COMPRESSOR REPLACEMENT
1. Before connecting ACR4 to vehicle, check ACR4 gauges. No refrigerant pressure should be displayed. If
NG, recover refrigerant from equipment lines.
2. Discharge refrigerant into the refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment. Measure lubricant discharged into
the recovery/recycling equipment.
3. Drain the lubricant from the old (removed) compressor into a graduated container and recover the amount
of lubricant drained.
4. Drain the lubricant from the new compressor into a separate, clean container.
5. Measure an amount of new lubricant installed equal to amount drained from old compressor. Add this
lubricant to new compressor through the suction port opening.
6. Measure an amount of new lubricant equal to the amount recovered during discharging. Add this lubricant
to new compressor through the suction port opening.
7. If the liquid tank also needs to be replaced, add an additional 5 m (0.2 Imp fl oz) of lubricant at this time.
Do not add this 5 m (0.2 Imp fl oz) of lubricant if only replacing the compressor.
