Heating and Air Conditioning
A/C Service Tips and Precautions
Compressed air mixed with R- 134a forms a
combustible vapor.
The vapor can burn or explode causing serious
injury.
Never use compressed air to pressure test
R-134a service equipment or vehicle air
conditioning systems.
Air conditioning refrigerant or lubricant vapor
can irritate your eyes, nose, or throat.
Be careful when connecting service equipment.
Do not breathe refrigerant or vapor.
The air conditioning system uses HFC-134a (R-134a)
ref rigerant and polyalkyleneglycol (PAG) ref rigerant oil,
which are not compatible with CFC'12 (R-12) refrigerant
and mineral oil. Do not use R-'12 refrigerant or mineral
oil in this system, and do not aftempt to use R 12
servicing equipment; damage to the air conditioning
system or your servicing equipment will result.
Use only service equipment that is U.L.-listed and is
certified to meet the requirements of SAE J2210 to
remove R-134a from the air conditioning system.
lf accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate the
work area before resuming service.
R-134a service equipment or vehicle air conditioning
systems should not be pressure tested or leak tested
with compressed air.
Additional health and safety information may be
obtained from the refrigerant and lubricant
manufacturers.
. Always disconnect the negative cable from the
battery whenever replacing air conditioning parts.
. Keep moisture and dirt out of the system. When
disconnecting any lines, plug or cap the fittings
immediately; don't remove the caps or plugs until
iust be{ore you reconnect each line.' Before connecting any hose or line, apply a few drops
of relrigerant oil to the O-ring.. When tightening or loosening a fitting, use a second
wrench to support the matching fitting.. When discharging the system, use a R-'134a
ref rigerant recovery/recycling/charging station; don't
release refrigerant into the atmosphere.

Add the recommended refrigerant oil in the amount
listed if you replace any of the following parts.
. To avoid contamination. do not return the oilto the
container once dispensed, and never mix it with other
refrigerant oils.. lmmediately af'ter using the oil, reinstallthe cap on
the container, and seal it to avoid moisture

damage the paint. lf it gets on the paint, wash it off
immediately.

General Troubleshooting Information
How to Retrieve a DTC
The heater control panel has a self-diagnosis function. To run the self-diagnosis function, do the following:
1. Turn the fan switch OFF.
2. Pressand holdthe recirculation control switch andthe rear window defoooer switch down.
3. Turn the ignition switch oN {lli.
4. Release both switches. The recirculation indicator and the rear window defogger indicator come on. The
recirculation indicator goes off 3 seconds later and the Ay'C indicator comes on. then the self-diagnosis will begin.
About 10 seconds later, the self-diagnosis will finish and the A,/C indicator goes off.

This vehicle uses HFC-134a (R-'134a) refrigerant which does not contain ch lorofluorocarbons. Pay attention to the
following service items:
. Do not mix refrigerants CFC-12 (R-12) and HFC-134a (R-134a). They are notcompatible.. Use onlythe recommended polyalkyleneglycol (PAG ) refrigera nt oil (KElHlN SP '!0) designedfortheR-134a
compressor. Intermixing the recommended (PAG) refrigerant oil with any other retrigerant oil will result in
compressor failu re.. AllAy'C system parts (compressor, discharge line, suction line, evaporator, condenser, receiver/dryer. expansion
valve, O-rings for joints) have to be designed for refrigerant R 134a. Do not exchange with R-'12 parts.
. Use a halogen gas leak detector designed for refrigerant R-134a.. R-12 and R-134a refrigerant servicing equipment are not interchangeable. Use only a recovery/recycling/charging
station that is U.L.-listed and is certified to meet the requirements of SAE J2210 to service R-134a air conditioning
system.. Always recover the refrigerant R-134a with an approved recovery/recycling/charging station before disconnecting
any Ay'C fifting.
