INSPECTION
1. INSPECT ILLUMINATION OPERATION
Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 31 and
the negative (-) lead to terminal 39, then check that the illumina-
tion lights up.
If there is bulb not light up, replace the bulb only. If all bulbs do
not light up, replace the A/C control panel.

2. INSPECT REFRIGERANT PRESSURE WITH MAN-
IFOLD GAUGE SET
This is a method in which the trouble is located by using a man-
ifold gauge set. Read the manifold gauge pressure when the
these conditions are established.
Test conditions:
Temperature at the air inlet with the switch set
at RECIRC is 30 - 35 °C (86 - 95 °F)
Engine running at 1500 rpm
Blower speed control switch at ºHIº position
Temperature control dial on ºCOOLº position
HINT:
It should be noted that the gauge indications may vary slightly
due to ambient temperature conditions.
(1) Normally functioning refrigeration system.
Gauge reading:
Low pressure side:
0.15 - 0.25 MPa (1.5 - 2.5 kgf/cm
2)
High pressure side:
1.37 - 1.57 MPa (14 - 16 kgf/cm

REMOVAL
1. DISCHARGE REFRIGERANT FROM REFRIGERATION
SYSTEM
HINT:
At the time of installation, please refer to the following item.
Evacuate air from refrigeration system.
Charge system with refrigerant and inspect for leakage of refrig-
erant.
Specified amount: 600 ± 50 g (21.16 ± 1.76 oz.)
2. DRAIN ENGINE COOLANT FROM RADIATOR
HINT:
It is not necessary to drain out all coolant.
3. DISCONNECT LIQUID AND SUCTION TUBES
(a) Using SST, remove the 2 piping clamps.
SST 09870-00015 (Suction tube)
09870-00025 (Liquid tube)
(1) Insert SST to piping clamp.
HINT:
Confirm the direction of the piping clamp claw and SST using
the illustration showing on the caution label.
(2) Push down SST and release the clamp lock.
NOTICE:
Be careful not to deform the tubes, when pushing SST.
(3) Pull SST slightly and push the release lever, then re-
move the piping clamp with SST.
(4) Remove the piping clamp from SST.
(b) Disconnect the both tubes.

INSPECTION
1. INSPECT ILLUMINATION OPERATION
Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 1 and
negative (-) lead to terminal 9 then check that the illuminations
lights up.
If operation is not as specified, check the faulty bulb.
2. INSPECT BULB
Apply the tester as shown in the illustration to the test for conti-
nuity.
If continuity exists, replace the heater control.
If no continuity exists, replace the bulb.
3. INSPECT A/C INDICATOR OPERATION
(a) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
10 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 11.
(b) Push the A/C button in and then check that the indicator
lights up.
If operation is not as specified, replace the switch.
4. INSPECT DIMMING OPERATION
(a) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
10 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 11 while press the
switch.
(b) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
1 and then check that the indicator dims.
If operation is not as specified, replace the switch.
