Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in CompressorEJS001Z4
The lubricant in the compressor circulates through the system with the refrigerant. Add lubricant to compres-
sor when replacing any component or after a large gas leakage occurred. It is important to maintain the speci-
fied amount.
If lubricant quantity is not maintained properly, the following malfunctions may result:
●Lack of lubricant: May lead to a seized compressor
●Excessive lubricant: Inadequate cooling (thermal exchange interference)
LUBRICANT
LUBRICANT RETURN OPERATION
Adjust the lubricant quantity according to the test group shown below.
1. CHECK LUBRICANT RETURN OPERATION
Can lubricant return operation be performed?
●A/C system works properly.
●There is no evidence of a large amount of lubricant leakage.
Ye s o r N o
Yes >> GO TO 2.
No >> GO TO 3.
2. PERFORM LUBRICANT RETURN OPERATION, PROCEEDING AS FOLLOWS:
1. Start engine, and set the following conditions:
–Test condition
Engine speed: Idling to 1,200 rpm
A/C or AUTO switch: ON
Blower speed: Max. position
Temp. control: Optional [Set so that intake air temperature is 25 to 30°C (77 to 86°F).]
Intake position: Recirculation (REC)
2. Perform lubricant return operation for about 10 minutes.
3. Stop engine.
CAUTION:
If excessive lubricant leakage is noted, do not perform the lubricant return operation.
>> GO TO 3.
3. CHECK COMPRESSOR
Should the compressor be replaced?

AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL
FAN SPEED CONTROL
Blower speed is automatically controlled based on temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle tem-
perature, intake temperature, amount of sunload and air mix door position.
With FAN switch set to AUTO, the blower motor starts to gradually increase air flow volume.
When engine coolant temperature is low, the blower motor operation is delayed to prevent cool air from flow-
ing.
INTAKE DOOR CONTROL
The intake doors are automatically controlled by: The temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle
temperature, intake temperature, amount of sunload and ON-OFF operation of the compressor.
OUTLET DOOR CONTROL
The outlet door is automatically controlled by: The temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle tem-
perature, intake temperature and amount of sunload.
MAGNET CLUTCH CONTROL
The ECM controls compressor operation using input signals from the refrigerant pressure sensor (with QG
engine), throttle position sensor and auto amplifier.
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
The self-diagnostic system is built into the auto amplifier (LCU) to quickly locate the cause of problems.
Overview of Control systemEJS001Z7
The control system consists of input sensors, switches, the automatic amplifier (microcomputer) and outputs.
The relationship of these components is shown in the diagram below:

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Self-diagnosis Function
EJS001ZH
DESCRIPTION
The self-diagnostic system diagnoses sensors, door motors, blower motor, etc. by system line. Refer to appli-
cable sections (items) for details. Shifting from usual control to the self-diagnostic system is accomplished by
starting the engine (turning the ignition switch from OFF to ON) and pressing OFF switch for at least 5 sec-
onds. The “OFF” switch must be pressed within 10 seconds after starting the engine (ignition switch is turned
ON). This system will be canceled by either pressing A/C switch or turning the ignition switch OFF. Shifting
from one step to another is accomplished by means of turning temperature dial, as required.
Additionally shifting from STEP 6 to AUXILIARY MECHANISM is accomplished by means of pushing (fan)
UP switch.

Operational CheckEJS001ZI
The purpose of the operational check is to confirm that the system operates properly.
CHECKING MEMORY FUNCTION
1. Set the temperature 90°F or 32°C.
2. Press OFF switch.
3. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
4. Turn the ignition switch ON.
5. Press the AUTO switch.
6. Confirm that the set temperature remains at previous tempera-
ture.
7. Press OFF switch.
If NG, go to ATC-99, "
Memory Function" .
If OK, continue with next check.
CHECKING BLOWER
1. Press fan switch (up side) one time. Blower should operate on
low speed.The fan symbol should have one blade lit .
2. Press fan switch (up side) one more time, and continue check-
ing blower speed and fan symbol until all speeds are checked.
3. Leave blower on MAX speed.
If NG, go to ATC-69, "
Blower Motor Circuit" .
If OK, continue with next check.Conditions :Engine running and at usual operating temperature
