NOTE:
Engine oil capacity is specified. However, note that the
amount of oil required when actually changing oil may
somewhat differ from the data in the table depending on
various conditions (temperature, viscosity, etc.).
7) Check oil filter and drain plug for oil leakage.
8) Start engine and run it for three minutes. Stop it and wait five min-
utes before checking oil level. Add oil, as necessary, to bring oil
level to FULL level mark on dipstick.
NOTE:
Step 1) ± 7) outlined above must be performed with ENGINE
NOT RUNNING. For step 8), be sure to have adequate ven-
tilation while engine is running.
ITEM 1-5
Engine Coolant Change
WARNING:
To help avoid danger of being burned, do not remove radia-
tor cap while engine and radiator are still hot. Scalding fluid
and steam can be blown out under pressure if cap is taken
off too soon.
1) Remove radiator cap when engine is cool.
2) Loosen radiator drain plug to drain coolant.
3) Remove reservoir, which is on the side of radiator, and drain.
4) Tighten plug securely. Also reinstall reservoir.
5) Fill radiator with specified amount of coolant, and run engine for
2 or 3 minutes at idle. This drives out any air which may still be
trapped within cooling system. STOP ENGINE. Add coolant as
necessary until coolant level reaches the filler throat of radiator.
Reinstall radiator cap.

noise.

Inspect expansion valve and
replace if faulty.
ABNORMAL NOISE FROM BLOWER MOTOR
ConditionPossible CauseCorrection

Blower motor emits a chirping
sound in proportion to its speed of
rotation.

Fluttering noise or large droning
noise is heard from blower motor.
Worn or damaged motor brushes
or commutator.

Leaves or other debris
introduced from fresh air inlet to
blower motor.

QUICKLY CHECKING OF REFRIGERANT
CHARGE (IF EQUIPPED WITH SIGHT GLASS)
CHARGE OF REFRIGERANT
The following procedure can be used for quickly checking whether
the A / C system has a proper charge of refrigerant or not.
Run engine at fast idle, and operate A / C at its max. cooling capacity
for a few minutes. Then, look at the sight glass (1) on receiver / dryer
(2) and compare what is observed with the symptoms listed in
ªCHECKING REFRIGERANT CHARGEº table given below.
CHECKING REFRIGERANT CHARGE
CONDITIONPOSSIBLE CAUSESCORRECTION
Bubbles observed in sight glassInsufficient charge of refrigerant in
systemCheck system for leaks with a leak
tester.
No bubbles observed in sight glassNo charge or proper or too much
charge of refrigerant in systemRefer to the following item.
No temperature difference
between compressor inlet and
outletEmpty or nearly empty systemRecovery, evacuate and charge
system and then check it for leaks
with a leak tester.
Noticeable temperature difference
between compressor inlet and
outletProper or too much charge of
refrigerant in systemRefer to the following item.
When A / C is turned OFF,
refrigerant in sight glass clears
immediately and remains clearToo much charge of refrigerant in
systemDischarge excess charge of
refrigerant to adjust it to a specified
charge.
When A / C is turned OFF,
refrigerant in sight glass once
produces bubbles and then clearsProper charge of refrigerant in
systemNo correction needed because
charge of refrigerant is normal.

PERFORMANCE DIAGNOSIS
1) Confirm that vehicle and environmental conditions are as fol-
lows.

Vehicle is not exposed to direct sun.

Ambient temperature is within 15C ± 35C (59F ± 95F).
2) Make sure that high pressure valve (1) and low pressure valve
(2) of manifold gauge are firmly closed.
3) Connect high pressure charging hose (3) to high pressure ser-
vice valve (5) on vehicle, and connect low pressure charging
hose (4) to low pressure service valve (6) on vehicle.
4) Bleed the air in charging hoses (3), (4) by loosening their respec-
tive nuts on manifold gauge, utilizing the refrigerant pressure.
When a hiss is heard, immediately tighten nut.
CAUTION:
Do not interchange high and low pressure charging
hoses by mistake.
5) Warm up engine to normal operating temperature (engine cool-
ant temperature at 80 ± 90C (176 ± 194F)) and keep it at spe-
cified idle speed. (Radiator cooling fan should not be working
when checking pressure and temperature.)
6) Turn A / C switch ON, and set blower switch at ªHIº (4th position),
temperature control knob at ªCOOLº, air outlet control knob at
ªFACEº, fresh / circulation control knob at ªCIRCULATIONº.

COMPRESSOR ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
None of refrigerant, compressor oil and component parts is interchangeable between two types of A / C:
one using CFC-12 (R-12) and the other using HFC-134a (R-134a).
For identification between these two types, refer to page 1B-2.
When replenishing or changing refrigerant and compressor oil and when replacing parts, make sure
that the material or the part to be used is appropriate to the A / C installed in the vehicle being serviced.
Use of incorrect refrigerant or compressor oil will result in leakage of refrigerant, damage in parts or
other faulty condition.
PRECAUTION
When servicing the compressor, keep dirt or foreign material away from getting on or into the compressor parts
and system. Clean tools and a clean work area are important for proper service.
The compressor connection and the outside of the compressor should be cleaned before any ªOn-vehicleº repair
or before removal of the compressor. The parts must be kept clean at all times and any parts to be reassembled
should be cleaned with Trichloroethane, naphtha, kerosene or equivalent solvent and dried with dry air. Use only
lint free cloths to wipe parts.
The operations described are based on bench overhaul with compressor removed from the vehicle, except as
noted. They have been prepared in order of accessibility of the components.
When compressor is removed from the vehicle for servicing, the oil remaining in the compressor should be dis-
carded and new refrigerant oil added to the compressor.
Minor repair procedures may be done on the vehicle without discharging the system. Major repair procedures re-
quire that the system be discharged of refrigerant.
INSPECTION
1) Install manifold gauge set (1) as shown in the figure.
2) Close Hi (4) and Lo (5) hand valves.
3) Run engine at fast idle.
4) Check compressor assembly for following items.
If any of the above checks indicated a defect, repair compressor
assembly.

High pressure gauge reading is not low and low pressure
gauge reading is not higher than normal.
