After piping has been connected, pull male-side piping by hand to make sure piping does not
come off.

When recharging refrigerant, check for leaks.
Removal and Installation of Refrigerant Pressure SensorAJS00160
REMOVAL
1. Remove condenser. Refer to ATC-154, "Removal and Installa-
tion of Condenser" .
2. Remove refrigerant pressure sensor from condenser.
CAUTION:
When working, be careful not to damage the condenser
fins.
INSTALLATION
Installation is basically the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
Apply compressor oil to the O-ring of the refrigerant pressure sensor when installing it.
Removal and Installation of EvaporatorAJS001BJ
REMOVAL
1. Set the temperature at 18°C (60°F), and then disconnect the battery negative cable.
2. Use a refrigerant collecting equipment (for HFC-134a) to discharge the refrigerant.
3. Remove low-pressure pipe 2 and high-pressure pipe 3. Refer to ATC-151, "
Removal and Installation of
Low-pressure Pipe 2 and High-pressure Pipe 3" .
CAUTION:
Cap or wrap the joint of the pipe with suitable material such as vinyl tape to avoid the entry of air.
4. Slide evaporator, and then remove it from heater & cooling unit.
5. Remove intake sensor from evaporator, and then remove evap-
orator.
INSTALLATION
Installation is basically the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:

Replace O-rings for A/C piping with new ones, then apply compressor oil to it when installing it.

Connection point for female-side piping is thin. So, when inserting male-side piping, take care not
to deform female-side piping. Slowly insert in axial direction.

Insert one-touch joint connection point securely until it clicks.

After piping has been connected, pull male-side piping by hand to make sure piping does not
come off.

The O-rings are different from low-pressure pipe 1 (high-pressure pipe 2) and low-pressure pipe 2
(high-pressure pipe 3).

Mark the mounting position of the intake sensor bracket. Bolt mounting the high-pressure flexible hose bracket

CHECKING PROCEDURE
To prevent inaccurate or false readings, make sure there is no refrigerant vapor, shop chemicals, or cigarette
smoke in the vicinity of the vehicle. Perform the leak test in calm area (low air/wind movement) so that the
leaking refrigerant is not dispersed.
1. Turn engine OFF.
2. Connect a suitable A/C manifold gauge set to the A/C service ports.
3. Check if the A/C refrigerant pressure is at least 345 kPa (3.52 kg/cm
2 , 50 psi) above 16°C (61°F). If less
than specification, recover/evacuate and recharge the system with the specified amount of refrigerant.
NOTE:
At temperatures below 16°C (61°F), leaks may not be detected since the system may not reach 345 kPa
(3.52 kg/cm
2 , 50 psi).
4. Perform the leak test from the high-pressure side (compressor discharge a to evaporator inlet h) to the
low-pressure side [evaporator drain hose i to shaft seal o (VK45DE) or n (VQ35DE)]. Refer to ATC-139,
"Components" . Perform a leak check for the following areas carefully. Clean the component to be
checked and move the leak detected probe completely around the connection/component.
Compressor
Check the fitting of high- and low-pressure hoses, relief valve and shaft seal.
Liquid tank
Check the refrigerant connection.
Service valves
Check all around the service valves. Ensure service valve caps are secured on the service valves (to pre-
vent leaks).
NOTE:
After removing A/C manifold gauge set from service valves, wipe any residue from valves to prevent any
false readings by leak detector.
Cooling unit (Evaporator)
With engine OFF, turn blower fan on “High” for at least 15 seconds to dissipate any refrigerant trace in the
cooling unit. Wait a minimum of 10 minutes accumulation time (refer to the manufacturer′s recommended
procedure for actual wait time) before inserting the leak detector probe into the drain hose.
Keep the probe inserted for at least 10 seconds. Use caution not to contaminate the probe tip with water
or dirt that may be in the drain hose.
5. If a leak detector detects a leak, verify at least once by blowing compressed air into area of suspected
leak, then repeat check as outlined above.
6. Do not stop when one leak is found. Continue to check for additional leaks at all system components.
If no leaks are found, perform steps 7-10.
7. Start engine.
8. Set the heater A/C control as follows;
a. A/C switch: ON
b. Face mode
c. Intake position: Recirculation
d. Max cold temperature
e. Fan speed: High
9. Run engine at 1,500 rpm for at least 2 minutes.
10. Turn engine off and perform leak check again following steps 4 through 6 above.

PRECAUTIONS
Revision: 2004 November 2004 FX35/FX45

Do not disassemble ECM.

If a battery cable is disconnected, the memory will return to
the ECM value.
The ECM will now start to self-control at its initial value.
Engine operation can vary slightly when the terminal is dis-
connected. However, this is not an indication of a malfunc-
tion. Do not replace parts because of a slight variation.

When connecting ECM harness connector, fasten it
securely with a lever as far as it will go as shown in the fig-
ure.

When connecting or disconnecting pin connectors into or
from ECM, take care not to damage pin terminals (bend or
break).
Make sure that there are not any bends or breaks on ECM
pin terminal, when connecting pin connectors.

Securely connect ECM harness connectors.
A poor connection can cause an extremely high (surge)
voltage to develop in coil and condenser, thus resulting in
damage to ICs.

Keep engine control system harness at least 10 cm (4 in)
away from adjacent harness, to prevent engine control sys-
tem malfunctions due to receiving external noise, degraded
operation of ICs, etc.

Keep engine control system parts and harness dry.

Before replacing ECM, perform “ECM Terminals and Refer-
ence Value” inspection and make sure ECM functions prop-
erly. Refer to EC-100
.

Handle mass air flow sensor carefully to avoid damage.

Do not disassemble mass air flow sensor.

Do not clean mass air flow sensor with any type of deter-
gent.

Do not disassemble electric throttle control actuator.

Even a slight leak in the air intake system can cause seri-
ous incidents.

Do not shock or jar the camshaft position sensor (PHASE),
crankshaft position sensor (POS).
