INSTALLATION
CAUTION:
After completing installation, check A/T fluid leakage and fluid level. Refer to AT- 1 2 , "
Changing A/T
Fluid" , AT- 1 2 , "Checking A/T Fluid" .
1. Install revolution sensor in transmission case.
CAUTION:
Do not subject it to impact by dropping or hitting it.

28. Remove oil pan and oil pan gasket.
29. Check foreign materials in oil pan to help determine causes of
malfunction. If the A/T fluid is very dark, smells burned, or con-
tains foreign particles, the frictional material (clutches, band)
may need replacement. A tacky film that will not wipe clean indi-
cates varnish build up. Varnish can cause valves, servo, and
clutches to stick and can inhibit pump pressure.
If frictional material is detected, perform A/T fluid cooler
cleaning. Refer to AT- 1 4 , "
A/T Fluid Cooler Cleaning" .
30. Remove magnets from oil pan.
31. Disconnect A/T fluid temperature sensor 2 connector.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage connector.
32. Straighten terminal clip to free A/T fluid temperature sensor 2
harness.

Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in CompressorAJS00149
The lubricant in the compressor circulates through the system with the refrigerant. Add lubricant to compres-
sor when replacing any component or after a large refrigerant leakage occurred. It is important to maintain the
specified amount.
If lubricant quantity is not maintained properly, the following malfunctions may result:
Lack of lubricant: May lead to a seized compressor
Excessive lubricant: Inadequate cooling (thermal exchange interference)
LUBRICANT
LUBRICANT RETURN OPERATION
Adjust the lubricant quantity according to the test group shown below.
1. CHECK LUBRICANT RETURN OPERATION
Can lubricant return operation be performed?
A/C system works properly.
There is no evidence of a large amount of lubricant leakage.
CAUTION:
If excessive lubricant leakage is noted, do not perform the lubricant return operation.
YES or NO
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> GO TO 3.
2. PERFORM LUBRICANT RETURN OPERATION, PROCEEDING AS FOLLOWS:
1. Start engine, and set the following conditions:
–Test condition
Engine speed: Idling to 1,200 rpm
A/C switch: ON
Blower speed: Max. position
Temp. control: Optional [Set so that intake air temperature is 25 to 30°C (77 to 86°F).]
Intake position: Recirculation (REC)
2. Perform lubricant return operation for about 10 minutes.
3. Stop engine.
>> GO TO 3.
3. CHECK REPLACEMENT PART
Should the compressor be replaced?
YES >> GO TO AT C - 2 9 , "LUBRICANT ADJUSTING PROCEDURE FOR COMPRESSOR REPLACE-
MENT" .
NO >> GO TO AT C - 2 8 , "

Removal and InstallationAJS0015D
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 refrigerant.
3. Remove the mounting bolt, and then remove the 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:
Seal connection opening of piping with a cap or vinyl tape to avoid exposure to atmosphere.
4. Slide the evaporator to passenger side, and then remove the
intake sensor.
INSTALLATION
Installation is basically the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
Replace O-rings for A/C piping with new ones. Before installing, apply compressor oil to them.
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.
When recharging refrigerant, check for leaks.
