ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. INSPECT COMPRESSOR FOR METALLIC SOUND
Check there is abnormal metallic sound from the compressor
when the A/C switch is ON.
If abnormal metallic sound is heard, replace the compressor as-
sembly.
2. INSPECT REFRIGERANT PRESSURE
(See page AC-3)
3. INSPECT VISUALLY FOR LEAKAGE OF REFRIGER-
ANT
Using a gas leak detector, check for leakage of refrigerant.
If there is any leakage, replace the compressor assembly.
4. INSPECT COMPRESSOR LOCK SENSOR RESIS-
TANCE
(a) Disconnect the connector.
(b) Measure resistance between terminals 1 and 2.
Standard resistance: 65 - 125 W at 20 °C (68 °F)
If resistance is not as specified, replace the sensor.
5. CHECK FOR LEAKAGE OF GREASE FROM CLUTCH
BEARING
6. CHECK FOR SIGNS OF OIL ON PRESSURE PLATE OR
ROTOR
7. INSPECT MAGNETIC CLUTCH BEARING FOR NOISE
(a) Start engine.
(b) Check for abnormal noise from the compressor when the
A/C switch is OFF.
If abnormal noise is being emitted, replace the magnetic clutch.
8. INSPECT MAGNETIC CLUTCH OPERATION
(a) Disconnect the connector.
(b) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
4 and the negative (-) lead to the body ground.
(c) Check that the magnetic clutch energized.
If operation is not as specified, replace the magnetic clutch.

Is the condition bad in comparison with other vehicles?
Are there any additional installation parts?
(Sun shade film, telephone antenna, etc.)
Check if there is any scratch and breaking of a wire on
the glass antenna and the defogger pattern.
(visual check. tester)
(See page BE-126)
Is the contact of the plug jack of the radio OK?
Does the condition get better by using the outer
antenna (such as pillar antenna)?
Is the contact of the antenna terminal on the glass
surface and the defogger terminal?
Is the continuity of the antenna cord OK?
Check the grounding of the antenna, antenna cord,
choke coil, and noise filter. (See page BE-126)
Does the condition get better by replacing
the choke coil?
Does the condition get better by replacing the
antenna cord?Take a measure for contact. An electric wave environment is bad.
Does the condition get better if
removing them?
Influence of additional installation parts.
