INSTALLATION
1. INSTALL COMPRESSOR
(a) Install the compressor with 3 nuts.
Torque: 25 N´m (250 kgf´cm, 18 ft´lbf)
(b) Install the generator drive belt adjusting bar bracket with
2 bolts and a nut.
Torque:
Bolt (A): 18 N´m (185 kgf´cm, 13 ft´lbf)
Bolt (B): 25 N´m (250 kgf´cm, 18 ft´lbf)
Nut: 25 N´m (250 kgf´cm, 18 ft´lbf)
2. INSTALL GENERATOR
(a) Mount generator on the generator bracket with the pivot
bolt and adjusting lock bolt. Do not tighten the bolts yet.
(b) Connect the generator connector.
(c) Connect the generator wire with the nut.
3. CONNECT DISCHARGE AND SUCTION HOSES
Connect both hoses with the bolt and nut.
Torque: 10 N´m (100 kgf´cm, 7 ft´lbf)
NOTICE:
Hoses should be connected immediately after the caps
have been removed.
HINT:
Lubricate  2 new O-ring with compressor oil and install them to
the tube.
4. INSTALL AND CHECK DRIVE BELT
(See page AC-19, AC-17)
5. CONNECT NEGATIVE (-) TERMINAL CABLE TO BAT-
TERY
6. EVACUATE AIR FROM REFRIGERATION SYSTEM
AND CHARGE WITH REFRIGERANT
Specified amount: 600 ± 50 g (21.16 ± 1.76 oz.)
7. INSPECT FOR LEAKAGE OF REFRIGERANT
Using a gas leak detector, check for leakage of refrigerant.
If there is leakage, check the tightening torque at the joints.
8. INSPECT A/C OPERATION

COMPRESSOR AND MAGNETIC
CLUTCH
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.
