5. INSPECT FUEL SENDER GAUGE VOLTAGE
Measure the voltage between terminals 1 and 6 for each fuel
level.
HINT:
The fuel sender gauge cannot be removed.
As the resistance value changes according to the remaining
fuel amount, refer to the above standard value.
Fuel levelResistance (W)
FullApprox. 430
HalfApprox. 1000 ± 2000
EmptyApprox. 5000
If resistance value is not as specified, replace the fuel tank.
If resistance value is as specified, replace the combination me-
ter.
6. INSPECT TEMPERATURE SENDER RESISTANCE
Measure the resistance between terminal 4 and 8
If the resistance value is not in the following area, replace fuel
tank.
1.5 ± 100 (W) at 0 ± 30°C
7. INSPECT LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT
(a) Disconnect the connector from the warning switch and
ground terminal of 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.
8. INSPECT LOW OIL PRESSURE SWITCH CONTINUITY
(a) Check that continuity exists between terminal and ground
with the engine stopped.
(b) Check that no continuity exists between terminal and
ground with the engine running.
HINT:
Oil pressure should be over 24.5 kPa (0.25 kgf/cm
2, 3.55 psi)
If operation is not as specified, replace the switch.

PRECAUTION
1. DO NOT HANDLE REFRIGERANT IN AN ENCLOSED
AREA OR WEAR A NAKED FLAME
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.

NOTE : These gauge indica-
tions are shown when the

been opened and the refrig-
erant charged without vacu-
um purging.

 Pressure too high on both low
and high pressure sides

sight glass even when the engine
rpm is lowered Unable to develop sufficient per-
formance due to excessive refrig-

(1) Clean condenser
(2) Check condenser fan motor
operation
(3) If (1) and (2) are in normal
state, check amount of refrigerant

(1) Check compressor oil to see if
it is dirty or insufficient
(2) Evacuate air and charge new
