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.

Temperature control dial at ºCOOLº position
Set on manifold gauge set
A/C switch ON
ConditionFan operation (Fan speed)
Engine coolant temperature
88 °C (190 °F) or belowRotate (Low speed)
Engine coolant temperature
98 °C (208 °F) or aboveRotate (High speed)
Refrigerant pressure is less than
1,520 kPa (15.5 kgf/cm2, 220 psi)Rotate (Low speed)
Refrigerant pressure is 1,520 kPa
(15.5 kgf/cm2, 220 psi) or aboveRotate (High speed)
If operation is not as specified, proceed to the next inspection.
2. INSPECT CONDENSER FAN MOTOR OPERATION
(a) Disconnect the fan connector.
(b) Connect battery and ammeter.
(c) Check that the fan rotates smoothly, and then check the
reading on the ammeter.
Specified amperage: 9.2 - 11.0 A at 20 °C (68 °F)
If operation is not as specified, replace the fan motor.
If operation is as specified, check the pressure switch, cooling
fan relays and water temp. switch.

12. INSPECT FUEL LEVEL WARNING LIGHT
(a) Disconnect the connector from the sender gauge.
(b) Connect terminals 1 and 3 on the wire harness side con-
nector.
(c) Turn the ignition switch ON, check that the warning light
lights up.
If the warning light does not light up, test the bulb or inspect wire
harness.
13. INSPECT ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE RE-
CEIVER GAUGE OPERATION
(a) Disconnect the connector from the sender gauge.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON, check that the receiver gauge
needle indicates COOL.
(c) Ground terminal on the wire harness side connector
through a 3.4 W test bulb.
(d) Turn the ignition switch ON, check that the bulb lights up
and the receiver gauge needle moves toward the hot
side.
If operation is as specified, replace the sender gauge.
Then recheck the system.
If operation is not as specified, measure the receiver gauge re-
sistance.
14. INSPECT ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE RE-
CEIVER GAUGE RESISTANCE
Measure the resistance between terminals with fixing pointer to
the stopper.
Tester connectionResistance (W)
A - B250
C - D250
If resistance value is not as specified, replace the receiver
gauge.

15. INSPECT ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SEND-
ER GAUGE RESISTANCE
Connect the wire harness as shown in the illustration, and ad-
just the ammeter pointer to indicate º0º using the slide rheostat,
then read the rheostat indication.
Temperature °C (°F)Resistance (W)

120 (248.0)17.1 - 21.2
If resistance value is not as specified, replace the engine cool-
ant sender gauge.
16. INSPECT LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT
(a) Disconnect the connector from the warning switch and
ground terminal on the wire harness side connector.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON, check that the warning light
lights up.
If the warning light does not light up, test the bulb or inspect wire
harness.
17. INSPECT LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING SWITCH
OPERATION
(a) Check that continuity exists between the terminal and
ground with the engine stopped.
(b) Check that no continuity exists between the terminal and
ground with the engine running.
HINT:
Oil pressure should be over 29 kPa (0.35 kgf/cm
2, 4.3 psi)
If operation is not as specified, replace the switch.
18. INSPECT BRAKE WARNING LIGHT
(a) Disconnect the connector from the brake fluid warning
switch.
(b) Release the parking brake pedal.
(c) Connect the terminals on the wire harness side of the lev-
el warning switch connector.
(d) Start the engine, check that the warning light lights up.
If the warning light does not light up, test the bulb or wire har-
ness.
