Operation Check
The purpose of the operational check is to confirm that the system
is as it should be. The systems which will be checked are the
blower, mode (discharge air), intake air, temperature decrease,
temperature increase and A/C switch system.
CONDITIONS:
Engine running and at normal operating temperature.
PROCEDURE:
1. Check blower
1) Turn FAN CONTROL DIAL to 1.
Blower should operate at speed 1.
2) Then turn the DIAL to speed 2.
3) Continue checking blower speed until all speeds are checked.
4) Leave blower on speed 4.
2. Check discharge air
1) Turn AIR CONTROL DIAL toposition.
2) Confirm that all discharge air comes out of face vents.
3) Turn AIR CONTROL DIAL to
position.
4) Confirm that discharge air comes out of face vents and foot
vents.
5) Turn AIR CONTROL DIAL to
position.
6) Confirm that discharge air comes out of foot vents, with some
air from face vents.
7) Turn AIR CONTROL DIAL to
position.
8) Confirm that discharge air comes out of foot vents with some
air from defroster vents.
9) Turn AIR CONTROL DIAL to
position.
10) Confirm that all discharge air comes out of defroster vents, with
some air from face vents.
3. Check recirculation
1) Switch AIR RECIRCULATION SWITCH to ON position (Indica-
tor light ON).
2) Listen for intake door position change (you should hear sound
change slightly).

TROUBLE DIAGNOSES FOR ABNORMAL PRESSURE
Whenever abnormal pressure of high and/or low sides of the system is noted, diagnosis must be conducted
by using a manifold gauge. The large-line zone on the gauge scale (see illustrations.) shown in the following
table refers to the standard (normal) pressure range for the corresponding pressure side (high or low). Since
the standard (normal) pressure, however, differs from vehicle to vehicle, refer to the ªAmbient air temperature-
to-compressor pressure tableº.
Gauge indication Refrigerant cycle Probable cause Corrective action
Both high- and low-pressure
sides are too high.

Oil Pressure Check
WARNING:
IBe careful not to burn yourself, as the engine and oil may
be hot.
IOil pressure check should be done in ªNeutralº gear posi-
tion.
1. Check oil level.
2. Remove oil pressure switch.
3. Install pressure gauge.
4. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
5. Check oil pressure with engine running under no-load.

IIf the tip clearance (q2) exceeds the limit, replace gear set.
IIf body to gear clearances (q
1,q3,q4,q5) exceed the limit,
replace oil pump body assembly.
REGULATOR VALVE INSPECTION
1. Visually inspect components for wear and damage.
2. Check oil pressure regulator valve sliding surface and valve
spring.
3. Coat regulator valve with engine oil. Check that it falls smoothly
into the valve hole by its own weight.
If damaged, replace regulator valve set or oil pump cover.
4. Check regulator valve to oil pump cover clearance.
Clearance:
q
6: 0.040 - 0.097 mm (0.0016 - 0.0038 in)
If it exceeds the limit, replace oil pump cover.

OIL PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE AND BYPASS VALVE
INSPECTION (For oil cooler)
1. Inspect oil pressure relief valve for movement, cracks and
breaks by pushing the ball. If replacement is necessary, remove
valve by prying it out with suitable tool.
Install a new valve in place by tapping it.
2. Check oil pressure relief valve to oil cooler housing clearance.
Clearance:
q
C: 0.032 - 0.068 mm (0.0013 - 0.0027 in)
If it exceeds the limit, replace oil cooler housing.
Oil Jet
INSPECTION (For timing chain)
Make sure that the holes are not clogged. Clean them with a wire
if necessary.
Drive oil jet into place after positioning alignment mark on.
INSPECTION (For piston)
1. Push cut-off valve of oil jet bolt with a clean resin or brass rod
and make sure that cut-off valve moves smoothly with proper
repulsion.
2. Make sure that the oil jet passage is not clogged. Clean with a
wire if necessary.
When installing oil jet, align oil jet's boss with hole on cylin-
der block.
