INSPECTION
1) Check evaporator fins for blockage. If found clogged, use com-
pressed air to clean the fins.
CAUTION:
Do not use water for cleaning of evaporator.
Be careful not to damage evaporator fins. If evaporator
fin is bent, straighten it by using a screwdriver or pair of
pliers. If any leakage is found from fitting or tube, repair
or replace evaporator.
2) Check inlet and outlet fittings for crack or scratch. Repair them
as required.
REASSEMBLY and INSTALLATION
1) Reverse removal and disassembly sequence to install cooling
unit, noting the following points.
Install uniformly the evaporator packing to dash panel hole for
expansion valve.
Adjust fresh air control cable, refer to ªHEATER CONTROL
LEVER ASSEMBLYº in Section 1A.
2) Enable air bag system. Refer to ªEnabling Air Bag Systemº in
Section 10B.
3) Evacuate and charge system. Refer to ªEVACUATINGº and
ªCHARGINGº in this section.
NOTE:
When the thermistor removed, it should be reinstalled in
original position.
If cooling unit or evaporator is replaced, pour 25 cc of refrig-
erating oil to compressor suction-side.

A / C EVAPORATOR THERMISTOR
(EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR)
A thermistor is a temperature sensor to sense the temperature of
air discharged from evaporator. The electrical characteristic is
shown in the figure.
When temperature is lower than preset temperature, amplifier
makes magnet clutch turn off to prevent evaporator from frosting.
INSPECTION
Check resistance between A / C evaporator thermistor (1) termi-
nals.
If check results are as not specified, replace thermistor.

REMOVAL
Refer to ªCOOLING UNIT (EVAPORATOR)º in this section.
INSTALLATION
1) Reverse removal sequence to install thermistor.
2) Enable air bag system. Refer to ªENABLING AIR BAG SYS-
TEMº in Section 10B.
