3. INSPECT FOR LEAKAGE OF REFRIGERANT
(a) Perform in these conditions:
Stop engine.
Secure good ventilation (If the gas leak detector
may not react to volatile gases which are not refrig-
erant, such as evaporated gasoline and exhaust
gas.)
Repeat the test 2 or 3 times.
Make sure that there is some refrigerant remaining
in the refrigeration system.
When compressor is OFF: approx. 392 - 588 kPa
(4 - 6 kgf/ cm
2, 57 - 85 psi)
(b) Bring the gas leak detector close to the drain hose before
performing the test.
HINT:
After the blower motor has stopped, leave the cooling unit
for more than 15 minutes.
Expose the gas leak detector sensor under the drain
hose.
When bring the gas leak detector close to the drain hose,
make sure that the gas leak detector does not react to the
volatile gases.
If such reaction is unavoidable, the vehicle must be lifted up.
(c) If gas leak is not detected on the drain hose, remove the
blower resistor from the cooling unit. Then insert the gas
leak detector sensor into the unit and perform the test.
(d) Disconnect the connector and leave the pressure switch
for approx. 20 minutes. Then bring the gas leak detector
close to the pressure switch and perform the test.
(e) Bring the gas leak detector close to the refrigerant lines
and perform the test.

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.

and negative (-) lead to terminal 2.
(b) Connect the positive (+) lead from tester to terminal 3 and
the negative (-) lead to terminal 2.
(c) Rotate the shaft.
(d) Check that there is voltage change from approx. 0 V to 11
V or more between terminals 2 and 3.
HINT:
The voltage change should be 4 times for every revolution of
the speed sensor shaft.
If operation is not as specified, replace the sensor.
6. INSPECT SPEEDOMETER 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 the specified, replace the meter.
7. INSPECT TACHOMETER/ON-VEHICLE
(a) Connect a tune-up test tachometer, and start the engine.
NOTICE:
Reversing the connection of the tachometer will dam-
age the transistors and diodes inside.
When removing or installing the tachometer, be care-
ful not to drop or subject it to heavy shocks.
(b) Compare the tester and tachometer indications.
