REFRIGERANT LINES

Checking for Refrigerant LeaksEJS000VJ
Perform a visual inspection of all refrigeration parts, fittings, hoses and components for signs of A/C lubricant
leakage, damage and corrosion. A/C lubricant leakage may indicate an area of refrigerant leakage. Allow
extra inspection time in these areas when using either an electronic refrigerant leak detector or fluorescent
dye leak detector.
If dye is observed, confirm the leak with an electronic refrigerant leak detector. It is possible a prior leak was
repaired and not properly cleaned.
When searching for leaks, do not stop when one leak is found but continue to check for additional leaks at all
system components and connections.
When searching for refrigerant leaks using an electronic leak detector, move the probe along the suspected
leak area at 1 to 2 inches per second and no further than 1/4 inch from the component.
CAUTION:
Moving the electronic leak detector probe slower and closer to the suspected leak area will improve
the chances of finding a leak.
Checking System for Leaks Using the Fluorescent Leak DetectorEJS000VK
1. Check A/C system for leaks using the UV lamp and safety goggles (J-42220) in a low sunlight area (area
without windows preferable). Illuminate all components, fittings and lines. The dye will appear as a bright
green/yellow area at the point of leakage. Fluorescent dye observed at the evaporator drain opening indi-
cates an evaporator core assembly (tubes, core or expansion valve) leak.
2. If the suspected area is difficult to see, use an adjustable mirror or wipe the area with a clean shop rag or
cloth, with the UV lamp for dye residue.
3. After the leak is repaired, remove any residual dye using dye cleaner (J-43872) to prevent future misdiag-
nosis.
4. Perform a system performance check and verify the leak repair with an approved electronic refrigerant
leak detector.
NOTE:
Other gases in the work area or substances on the A/C components, for example, anti-freeze, windshield
washer fluid, solvents and lubricants, may falsely trigger the leak detector. Make sure the surfaces to be
checked are clean.
Clean with a dry cloth or blow off with shop air.
Do not allow the sensor tip of the detector to contact with any substance. This can also cause false readings
and may damage the detector.
Dye InjectionEJS000VL
(This procedure is only necessary when recharging the system or when the compressor has seized and was
replaced.)
1. Check A/C system static (at rest) pressure. Pressure must be at least 345 kPa (3.45 bar, 3.52 kg/cm
2 , 50
psi).
2. Pour one bottle (1/4 ounce / 7.4 cc) of the A/C refrigerant dye into the injector tool (J-41459).
3. Connect the injector tool to the A/C LOW-PRESSURE side service fitting.
4. Start engine and switch A/C ON.
5. When the A/C operating (compressor running), inject one bottle (1/4 ounce / 7.4 cc) of fluorescent dye
through the low-pressure service valve using dye injector tool J-41459 (refer to the manufacture's operat-
ing instructions).
6. With the engine still running, disconnect the injector tool from the service fitting.
CAUTION:
Be careful the A/C system or replacing a component, pour the dye directly into the open system con-
nection and proceed with the service procedures.
7. Operate the A/C system for a minimum of 20 minutes to mix the dye with the system oil. Depending on the
leak size, operating conditions and location of the leak, it may take from minutes to days for the dye to
penetrate a leak and become visible.

Operational CheckEJS001FE
The purpose of the operational check is to confirm that the system operates properly.
CHECKING BLOWER
1. Turn fan switch to 1st-speed. Blower should operate on low
speed.
2. Then turn fan switch to 2nd-speed, and continue checking
blower speed until all speeds are checked.
3. Leave blower on Max. speed.
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for MTC-15, "
Blower Motor
Circuit" .
If OK, continue with the check.
CHECKING DISCHARGE AIR
1. Turn mode control dial to each position.
2. Confirm that discharge air comes out according to the air distri-
bution table. Refer to MTC-5, "
Discharge Air Flow" .
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for MTC-9, "
Mode Door" .
If OK, continue the check.
CHECKING RECIRCULATION
1. Press REC switch. Recirculation indicator should eliminate.
2. Press REC switch again. Recirculation indicator should not illu-
minate.
3. Listen for intake door position change (you should hear blower
sound change slightly).
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for MTC-11, "
Intake Door
Motor Circuit" .
If OK, continue the check.Conditions :Engine running at usual operating temperature

Aiming Adjustment for HeadlampEKS003CG
When performing headlamp aiming adjustment, use an aiming machine, aiming wall screen or headlamp
tester. Aimers should be in good repair, calibrated and operated in accordance with respective operation man-
uals.
If any aimer is not available, aiming adjustment can be done as follows:
For details, refer to the regulations in your own country.

Keep all tires inflated to correct pressures.

Place vehicle and tester on one and same flat surface.

See that there is no-load in vehicle (coolant, engine oil filled up to correct level and full fuel tank) other
than the driver (or equivalent weight placed in driver's position).
CAUTION:
Be sure aiming switch is set to “0” when performing aiming adjustment.

2. Use adjusting screws to perform aiming adjustment.

First tighten the adjusting screw all the way and then make adjustment by loosening the screw.
If the vehicle front body has been repaired and/or the headlamp assembly has been replaced, check
aiming. Use the aiming chart shown in the figure.

Adjust headlamps so that main axis of light is parallel to cen-
ter line of body and is aligned with point P shown in illustra-
tion.

Figure to the right shows headlamp aiming pattern for driving
on right side of road; for driving on left side of road, aiming
pattern is reversed.

Dotted lines to point P in illustration show center of head-
lamp.

Basic illuminating area for adjustment should be within the
range shown at right. Adjust headlamps accordingly.
CAUTION:
Be sure aiming switch is set to “0” when preforming aiming
adjustment.
Aiming Adjustment for Driving LampEKS00AP6

Turn the aiming adjusting screw to adjust.

For positions of the adjustment screws and direction to turn,
refer to the figures.

When adjusting for right or left side, adjust upper and lower
adjustment screws at the same time.
PREPARATION BEFORE ADJUSTING
