Checking for Refrigerant LeaksAJS00163
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 DetectorAJS00164
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 InjectionAJS00165
(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 (3.52 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
connection 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.

Noise InspectionAKS00BMR
The vehicle itself can be a source of noise if noise prevention parts or electrical equipment is malfunction.
Check if noise is caused and/or changed by engine speed, ignition switch turned to each position, and opera-
tion of each piece of electrical equipment, and determine the cause.
NOTE:
The source of the noise can be found easily by listening to the noise while removing the fuses of electrical
components, one by one.
TYPE OF NOISE AND POSSIBLE CAUSE
Occurrence condition Possible cause
Occurs only when engine is
ON.A continuous growling noise occurs. The speed
of the noise varies with changes in the engine
speed.
Ignition condenser
A whistling noise occurs while the engine speed
is high. A booming noise occurs while the engine
is running and the lighting switch is ON.
Alternator
The occurrence of the noise is linked with the operation of the fuel pump.
Fuel pump condenser
Noise only occurs when various
electrical components are oper-
ating.A cracking or snapping sound occurs with the
operation of various switches.
Relay malfunction, radio malfunction
The noise occurs when various motors are oper-
ating.
Motor case ground
Motor
The noise occurs constantly, not just under certain conditions.
Rear window defogger coil malfunction
Open circuit in printed heater
Poor ground of antenna amplifier or
antenna feeder line
Mirror type film is attached on the rear win-
dow glass
After-market TV antenna and/or electrical
accessories such as radio are attached on
the rear window glass.
A cracking or snapping sound occurs while the vehicle is being driven, especially
when it is vibrating excessively.
Ground wire of body parts.
Ground due to incorrectinstallation of
parts.

Locking CD Auto-changer MechanismAKS007GD
CAUTION:
Prior to removing a malfunctioning CD auto-changer unit that will be shipped for repair, the
changer mechanism MUST BE LOCKED to prevent the mechanism from being damaged during
shipping.
If a CD is jammed or unable to be removed from the unit, do NOT lock the changer mechanism. If
the unit is to be shipped for repair, carefully package the unit to prevent vibration and shock.
DAMPER LOCK PROCEDURE
1. Eject and remove any CDs from the audio unit.
2. Turn ignition switch OFF. Wait until audio unit display is off and mechanism stops moving (mechanism
sound stops).
3. Press any one of the disc selection buttons once. When a display shows on the Audio unit, press the
same disc selection button again within 5 seconds.
The changer mechanism will lock itself within 10 seconds.
4. After mechanism stops moving (mechanism sound stops), open the driver and passenger window, and
then disconnect negative battery cable.
NOTE:
After installing a new or remanufactured audio unit, switching the audio unit ON will automatically unlock the
mechanism. A special unlocking procedure is not required.
Removal and Installation of Audio UnitAKS005TO
REMOVAL
1. Perform damper lock operation. Refer toAV- 4 4 , "Locking CD Auto-changer Mechanism" .
2. Remove cluster lid C. Refer to IP-11, "
Removal and Installation" .
3. Remove screws (6) with power tool, and remove audio unit with
display and unified meter and A/C amp. from instrument panel.
INSTALLATION
Install in the reverse order of removal.

A/C and AV Switch Self-Diagnosis FunctionAKS00BN6
DESCRIPTION
It can check ON/OFF operation of each switch in the A/C and AV switch and diagnose the input signals to the
steering switch (audio).
Starting the SELF-DIAGNOSIS MODE
1. Turn ignition switch from OFF to ACC.
2. Within 10 seconds press and hold the witches “MUTE/II ” and
“PREV” simultaneously for 3 seconds.
Diagnosis Function
It can illuminate all the indicators (LED) in the A/C and AV switch.
It can check for continuity of the switches by sounding the buzzer when the A/C and AV switch is pressed.
It can check for continuity of harness between A/C and AV switch and steering switch (audio).
NOTE:
Indicators (LED) of REC/FRE switch change to “FRE” → “REC” → “FRE” every time the REC/FRE switch
is pushed. (These two do not turn on at a time.)
Impossible to check rear window defogger switch operation (No beep sound even under normal status).
Exiting the SELF-DIAGNOSIS MODE
Turn ignition switch OFF.
