ITEM 6-1
Clutch
Pedal inspection
Check clutch pedal for height and free travel referring to Section
7C1. Adjust or correct if necessary.
Fluid inspection
1) Check around master cylinder and reservoir for fluid leakage.
If found leaky, correct.
2) Check fluid level.
If fluid level is lower than the minimum level of reservoir, refilling
is necessary. Fill reservoir with specified brake fluid indicated on
clutch reservoir cap.
For the details, refer to On-vehicle service in Section 7C1.
CAUTION:
Since clutch system of this vehicle is factory-filled with
glycol-base brake fluid, do not use or mix different type
of fluid when refilling system; otherwise serious damage
will occur. Do not use old or used brake fluid, or one taken
from unsealed container.
ITEM 6-2
Brake Discs, Pads, Brake Drums and Shoes Inspection
[Brake discs and pads]
1) Remove wheel and caliper but don't disconnect brake hose from
caliper.
2) Check front disc brake pads and discs for excessive wear, dam-
age and deflection. Replace parts as necessary. For details, re-
fer to Section 5B.
Be sure to torque caliper pin bolts to specification.
[Brake drums and shoes]
1) Remove wheel and brake drum.
2) Check rear brake drums and brake linings for excessive wear
and damage, while wheels and drums are removed. At the same
time, check wheel cylinders for leaks. Replace these parts as
necessary.
For details, refer to Section 5C.

COMPRESSION SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS
Compressor troubles are mainly following three types: gas leakage, noise and insufficient pressure.
Compressor gas leakages in most cases develop from the shaft seal. When detecting gas leakage, always use
a leak tester. If a small amount of oil seeps out from the shaft seal, there is no necessity of replacing the seal. The
shaft seal has been designed to allow a small amount of oil to leak out for lubricating purpose. Thus, the shaft seal
should be replaced only when a large amount of compressor oil is leaking out or when gas leakage is discovered
by using gas tester.
In regard to noise and insufficient pressure, repairs should be made only after diagnosing the trouble properly.

A / C EVAPORATOR THERMISTOR
(EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR)
A thermistor is a temperature sensor to sense the temperature of
air discharged from evaporator. The electrical characteristic is
shown in the figure.
When temperature is lower than preset temperature, amplifier
makes magnet clutch turn off to prevent evaporator from frosting.
INSPECTION
Check resistance between A / C evaporator thermistor (1) termi-
nals.
If check results are as not specified, replace thermistor.

REMOVAL
Refer to ªCOOLING UNIT (EVAPORATOR)º in this section.
INSTALLATION
1) Reverse removal sequence to install thermistor.
2) Enable air bag system. Refer to ªENABLING AIR BAG SYS-
TEMº in Section 10B.
3) Evacuate and charge system. Refer to ªEVACUATINGº and
ªCHARGINGº in this section.

1B-50 AIR CONDITIONING (OPTIONAL)
REMOVAL
1) Run engine at idle with A / C ON for 10 minutes.
2) Disconnect negative (±) cable at battery.
3) Recover refrigerant from refrigeration system using recovery
and recycling equipment.
NOTE:
The amount of compressor oil at removed must be mea-
sured and the same amount must be poured when installing
the compressor.
4) Disconnect thermal protector lead wire.
5) Disconnect suction and discharge hoses from compressor as-
sembly.
NOTE:
Cap open fitting immediately to keep moisture out of sys-
tem.
6)For G16 engine:
Remove compressor drive belt by loosening compressor as-
sembly mounting bolts.
For J20 engine:
Remove generator belt. Refer to Section 6H.
For H25 engine:
Remove compressor drive belt by loosening tension pulley bolt.
7) Remove compressor with magnet clutch assembly from its
mount.
8) If compressor assembly is replaced. Drain oil from compressor
assembly, and measure its amount.

clutch.
9) Remove clutch coil.
INSTALLATION
1) Install clutch coil (2).
Protrusion on under side of clutch coil must match hole in com-
pressor (3) to prevent movement ant correctly locate lead wire.
