AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
PRECAUTION
1. DO NOT HANDLE REFRIGERANT IN AN ENCLOSED
AREA OR WEAR EYE PROTECTION
2. ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION
3. BE CAREFUL NOT TO GET LIQUID REFRIGERANT IN
YOUR EYES OR ON YOUR SKIN
If liquid refrigerant gets in your eyes or on your skin.
(a) Wash the area with lots of cool water.
CAUTION:
Do not rub your eyes or skin.
(b) Apply clean petroleum jelly to the skin.
(c) Go immediately to a physician or hospital for professional
treatment.
4. NEVER HEAT CONTAINER OR EXPOSE IT TO NAKED
FLAME
5. BE CAREFUL NOT TO DROP CONTAINER AND NOT
TO APPLY PHYSICAL SHOCKS TO IT
6. DO NOT OPERATE COMPRESSOR WITHOUT
ENOUGH REFRIGERANT IN REFRIGERATION SYS-
TEM
If there is not enough refrigerant in the refrigerant system oil lu-
brication will be insufficient and compressor burnout may occur,
so that care to avoid this, necessary care should be taken.
7. DO NOT OPEN PRESSURE MANIFOLD VALVE WHILE
COMPRESSOR IS OPERATE
If the high pressure valve is opened, refrigerant flows in the re-
verse direction and could cause the charging cylinder to rup-
ture, so open and close the only low pressure valve.
8. BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVERCHARGE SYSTEM WITH
REFRIGERANT
If refrigerant is overcharged, it causes problems such as insuffi-
cient cooling, poor fuel economy, engine overheating etc.

8. INSPECT TACHOMETER 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 meter.
9. INSPECT FUEL RECEIVER GAUGE OPERATION
(a) Disconnect the connector from the main sender gauge.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON, check that the receiver gauge
needle  indicates EMPTY.
(c) Connect  terminals 2 and 3 on the wire harness side con-
nector through a 3.4 W test bulb.
(d) Turn the ignition switch ON, check that the bulb lights up
and receiver gauge needle moves toward the full side.
HINT:
Because of the silicon oil in the gauge, it will take a short time
for needle to stabilize.
If operation is not as specified, inspect the receiver gauge resis-
tance.
10. INSPECT FUEL RECEIVER 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.
11. INSPECT FUEL SENDER GAUGE RESISTANCE
Measure the resistance between terminals 3 and 2 for each
float position.
Float position mm (in.)Resistance (W)
F: Approx. 91.1 (1.36) ± 3 (0.12)Approx. 2.0 ± 1.0
1/2: Approx. 34.2 (2.06) ± 3 (0.12)Approx. 26.1 ± 3.0
E: Approx. 30.8 (5.31) ± 3 (0.12)Approx. 48.7 ± 1.0
If resistance value is not as specified, replace the sender
gauge.

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.
