SERVICE COUPLERS
Never attempt to connect HFC-134a (R-134a) service couplers to an
CFC-12 (R-12) A/C system. The HFC-134a (R-134a) couplers will
not properly connect to the CFC-12 (R-12) system. However, if an
improper connection is attempted, discharging and contamination
may occur.
REFRIGERANT WEIGHT SCALE
Verify that no refrigerant other than HFC-134a (R-134a) and speci-
fied lubricants have been used with the scale. If the scale controls
refrigerant flow electronically, the hose fitting must be 1/2″-16
ACME.
CALIBRATING ACR4 WEIGHT SCALE
Calibrate the scale every three months.
To calibrate the weight scale on the ACR4:
1. Press Shift/Reset and Enter at the same time.
2. Press 8787 . “A1 ” will be displayed.
3. Remove all weight from the scale.
4. Press 0 , then press Enter . “0.00 ” will be displayed and change to “A2 ”.
5. Place a known weight (dumbbell or similar weight), between 4.5 and 8.6 kg (10 and 19 lb) on the center of
the weight scale.
6. Enter the known weight using four digits. (Example 10 lb = 10.00, 10.5 lb = 10.50)
7. Press Enter — the display returns to the vacuum mode.
8. Press Shift/Reset and Enter at the same time.
9. Press 6 — the known weight on the scale is displayed.
10. Remove the known weight from the scale. “0.00 ” will be displayed.
11 . P r e s s Shift/Reset to return the ACR4 to the program mode.
CHARGING CYLINDER
Using a charging cylinder is not recommended. Refrigerant may be vented into air from cylinder′s top valve
when filling the cylinder with refrigerant. Also, the accuracy of the cylinder is generally less than that of an
electronic scale or of quality recycle/recharge equipment.
Precautions for Leak Detection DyeEJS001YW
●The A/C system contains a fluorescent leak detection dye used for locating refrigerant leaks. An ultraviolet
(UV) lamp is required to illuminate the dye when inspecting for leaks.
●Always wear fluorescence enhancing UV safety glasses to protect your eyes and enhance the visibility of
the fluorescent dye.
●The fluorescent dye leak detector is not a replacement for an electronic refrigerant leak detector. The fluo-
rescent dye leak detector should be used in conjunction with an electronic refrigerant leak detector to (J-
41995) pin-point refrigerant leaks.
●For your safety and your Customer′s satisfaction, read and follow all manufacture′s operating instructions
and precautions prior to performing the work.

AUXILIARY MECHANISM: TEMPERATURE SETTING TRIMMER
The trimmer compensates for differences in range of ±3°C (±6°F) between temperature setting (displayed dig-
itally) and temperature felt by driver.
Operating procedures for this trimmer are as follows:
●Begin Self-diagnosis STEP 5 mode.
●Press (fan) UP switch to set system in auxiliary mode.
●Display shows 61 in auxiliary mechanism.It takes approximately 3 seconds.
●Turn the temperature dial as desired. Temperature will change at a rate of 1°C (2°F) each time a dial is
turned.

CHECKING DISCHARGE AIR
1. Press mode switch four times and DEF button.
2. Each position indicator should change shape.
3. Confirm that discharge air comes out according to the air distri-
bution table. Refer to ATC-27, "
Discharge Air Flow" .
Intake door position is checked in the next step.
If NG, go to AT C - 5 9 , "

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
TROUBLE DIAGNOSES FOR UNUSUAL PRESSURE
Whenever system′s high and/or low side pressure is unusual, diagnose using a manifold gauge. The marker
above the gauge scale in the following tables indicates the standard (usual) pressure range. Since the stan-
dard (usual) pressure, however, differs from vehicle to vehicle, refer to above table (Ambient air temperature-
to-operating pressure table).
Both High and Low-pressure Sides are Too High.
High-pressure Side is Too High and Low-pressure Side is Too Low.
Gauge indication Refrigerant cycle Probable cause Corrective action
Both high and low-pressure sides
are too high.Pressure is reduced soon
after water is splashed on
condenser.Excessive refrigerant charge in
refrigeration cycleReduce refrigerant until spec-
ified pressure is obtained.
Air suction by cooling fan is
insufficient.Insufficient condenser cooling

↓
1. Condenser fins are clogged.
2. Improper fan rotation of cool-
ing fan
●Clean condenser.
●Check and repair cooling
fan as necessary.
●Low-pressure pipe is not
cold.
●When compressor is
stopped high-pressure
value quickly drops by
approximately 196 kPa
(1.96 bar, 2 kg/cm
2 , 28
psi). It then decreases
gradually thereafter.Poor heat exchange in con-
denser
(After compressor operation
stops, high pressure decreases
too slowly.)
↓
Air in refrigeration cycleEvacuate repeatedly and
recharge system.
Engine tends to overheat.Engine cooling systems mal-
function.Check and repair each
engine cooling system.
●An area of the low-pres-
sure pipe is colder than
areas near the evaporator
outlet.
●Plates are sometimes cov-
ered with frost.
●Excessive liquid refrigerant
on low-pressure side
●Excessive refrigerant dis-
charge flow
●Expansion valve is open a lit-
tle compared with the specifi-
cation.
↓
1. Improper expansion valve
installation
2. Improper expansion valve
adjustmentReplace expansion valve.

Sunload Sensor CircuitEJS001ZX
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
The sunload sensor is located on the defroster grille. It detects sun-
load entering through windshield by means of a photo diode. The
sensor converts the sunload into a current value which is then input
into the auto amplifier.
SUNLOAD INPUT PROCESS
The auto amp. also includes a processing circuit which averages the variations in detected sunload over a
period of time. This prevents drastic swings in the A/C system operation due to small or quick variations in
detected sunload.
For example, consider driving along a road bordered by an occasional group of large trees. The sunload
detected by the sunload sensor will vary whenever the trees obstruct the sunlight. The processing circuit aver-
ages the detected sunload over a period of time, so that the (insignificant) effect of the trees momentarily
obstructing the sunlight does not cause any change in the A/C system operation. On the other hand, shortly
after entering a long tunnel, the system will recognize the change in sunload, and the system will react accord-
ingly.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE FOR SUNLOAD SENSOR
SYMPTOM: Sunload sensor circuit is open or shorted. (25 or −25) is
indicated on auto amp. as a result of conducting Self-diagnosis
STEP 2.)
1.CHECK SUNLOAD SENSOR CIRCUIT BETWEEN SUNLOAD SENSOR AND GROUND
Disconnect sunload sensor harness connector.

On-vehicle ServiceNJBR0023OPERATING CHECKNJBR0023S011. Stop engine and depress brake pedal several times. Check
that pedal stroke does not change.
2. Depress brake pedal, then start engine. If pedal goes down
slightly, operation is normal.
AIRTIGHT CHECKNJBR0023S021. Start engine, and stop it after one or two minutes. Depress
brake pedal several times slowly. The pedal should go further
down the first time, and then it should gradually rise thereaf-
ter.
2. Depress brake pedal while engine is running, and stop engine
with pedal depressed. The pedal stroke should not change
after holding pedal down for30 seconds.
