AIR CONDITIONING (OPTIONAL) 1B-27
Replenishing compressor oil
When replacing air conditioning parts with new ones, it is neces-
sary to replenish oil by the amount supposedly remaining in each
part.
WHEN CHANGING GAS ONLY
When it is unavoidable to change gas without replacing any com-
ponent part for engine removal and installation or for some other
reason, replenish 20 cm
3 (20cc) oil. When replenishing gas only,
oil replenishment is not necessary.
WHEN REPLACING COMPRESSOR
Compressor oil is sealed in each new compressor by the amount
required for air conditioner cycle. Therefore, when using a new
compressor for replacement, drain oil from it by the amount calcu-
lated as follows.
“C” = “A” – “B”
“C” : Amount of oil to be drained
“A” : Amount of oil sealed in a new compressor
“B” : Amount of oil remaining in removed compressor
Amount of oil in new compressor :
Dual A/C model 140 cm
3 (140 cc)
Single A/C model 100 cm
3 (100 cc)
WHEN REPLACING OTHER PART
Amount of compressor oil : CAUTION:
Be sure to use HFC-134a (R-134a) compressor oil.
NOTE:
Compressor assembly supplied from factory is filled up
with the following amount of oil.

REMOVAL
1) Disconnect negative (–) cable at battery.
2) Recover refrigerant by using recovery and recycling equip-
ment. Be sure to follow the instruction manual for the equip-
ment.
The amount of compressor oil removed must be measured
and the same amount added to the system.
3) Remove rear luggage mat end garnish (1), rear luggage box
(2) (if equipped), rear side sill scuff (3) rear quarter lower trim
(4) and rear quarter upper trim (5).

4) Loosen floor suction pipe and floor liquid pipe mounting bolt
(1).
5) Remove rear A/C No.1 duct (1).
6) Disconnect rear A/C unit wire couplers (2).
7) Remove rear A/C unit mounting bolts (3), and then remove
rear A/C unit (4).
INSPECTION
Check the following.
Clog of rear A/C evaporator fins.
If any clogs are found, rear A/C evaporator fins should be
washed with water, and should be dried with compressed air.
Rear A/C evaporator fins for leakage and breakage.
If any defects are found, repair or replace rear A/C evapora-
tor.
INSTALLATION
Reverse removal procedure to install rear A/C unit noting the fol-
lowing points.
Evacuate and charge system. Refer to “RECOVERY” and
“EVACUATING” in this section.
When the rear A/C evaporator thermistor (temperature sen-
sor) removed, it should be reinstalled in original position.
If rear A/C unit or rear A/C evaporator is replaced, pour 25
cm
3 (25 cc) of refrigerating oil to compressor suction-side.
Rear Expansion Valve
INSPECTION
Refer to “PERFORMANCE DIAGNOSIS” in this section.
