AIR CONDITIONING (OPTIONAL) 1B-9
Quickly Checking of Refrigerant Charge (If
Equipped with Sight Glass)
The following procedure can be used for quickly checking whether
the A/C system has a proper charge of refrigerant or not.
1) Run engine at fast idle.
2) Operate A/C at the following conditions for a few minutes.
Main (front) A/C switch at ON position.
Rear A/C main switch at ON position (if equipped).
Front blower motor switch at max position.
Rear blower motor switch at max position (if equipped).
Air outlet control button at face position.
Temperature control lever at max cool position.
Vehicle door at all open.
Air inlet door at recirculation position.
3) Look at the sight glass (1) and compare what is observed
with the symptoms listed in the table given below.
2. Bubbles

1
Condition Possible Cause Correction
Bubbles observed in sight
glassInsufficient charge of refrigerant in system Check system for leaks with a leak tester.
No bubbles observed in
sight glassNo charge or proper or too much charge of refrigerant in
systemRefer to the following items.
No temperature differ-
ence between compressor
inlet and outletEmpty or nearly empty system Perform recovery, evacuating and charg-
ing system and then check it for leaks
with a leak tester.
Noticeable temperature
difference between com-
pressor inlet and outletProper or too much charge of refrigerant in system Refer to the following items.
When A/C is turned OFF,
refrigerant in sight glass
clears immediately and
remains clearToo much charge of refrigerant in system Recharge with specified amount of refrig-
erant.
When A/C is turned OFF,
refrigerant in sight glass
once produces bubbles
and then clearsProper charge of refrigerant in system Perform “PERFORMANCE DIAGNOSIS”
in this section.
NOTE:
For specified amount of refrigerant, refer to “OPERATION PROCEDURE FOR CHARGING A/C WITH
REFRIGERANT” 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 (3) are firmly closed.
3) Connect high pressure charging hose (4) to high pressure
service valve (5) on vehicle, and connect low pressure
charging hose (6) to low pressure service valve (7) on vehi-
cle.
4) Bleed the air in charging hoses (3), (4) by loosening their
respective nuts on manifold gauge, utilizing the refrigerant
pressure. When a hiss 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.
6) Operate A/C at the following conditions.
Main (front) A/C switch at ON position.
Rear A/C main switch at ON position (if equipped).
Front blower motor switch at max position.
Rear blower motor switch at max position (if equipped).
Air outlet control button at face position.
Temperature control lever at max cool position.
Vehicle door at all open.
Air inlet door at recirculation position.
7) Keep all windows, doors and engine food open.
8) With about 20 mm (0.8 in.) of dry bulb thermometer (1)
inserted into center face air outlet (2), rear A/C air outlet (3)
(dual A/C model only) and near A/C evaporator air inlet, read
temperature indicated on each thermometer. CAUTION:
Do not interchange high and low pressure charging
hoses by mistake.
