2004 ISUZU TF SERIES checking oil

HEATER AND AIR CONDITIONING 1-49

OIL RETURN OPERATION
There is close affinity between the oil and the refrigerant.
During normal operation, part of the oil recirculates with the
refrigerant in the system.
When checking the amount of oil in the system, or replacing
any component of the system, the compressor must be run in
advance for oil return operation. The procedure is as follows:
1) Open the all doors and engine hood.
2) Start the engine and A/C switch is "ON" and Set the fan
control knob at its highest position.
3) Run the compressor for more than 20 minutes between
800 and 1,000 rpm in order to operate the system.
4) Stop the engine.


REPLACEMENT OF COMPONENT PARTS
When replacing system component parts, supply the following
amount of oil to the component parts to be installed.

Component parts to be installed Amount of oil
Evaporator 50 cm3 (1.7 fl.oz.)
Condenser 30 cm3 (1.0 fl.oz.)
Receiver/drier 30 cm3 (1.0 fl.oz.)
Refrigerant line (One piece) 10 cm3 (0.3 fl.oz.)

Refrigeration oil must be replenished if more than two parts
are removed at the same time. After installing these
components, check compressor oil.

3B-8 POWER-ASSISTED STEERING SYSTEM

6. Fully close the shutoff valve. Record the highest
pressures.


If the pressure recorded is within 9300-9800 kPa
(95-100 kg/cm
2/1350-1420 psi), the pump is
functioning within its specifications.


If the pressure recorded is higher than 9800 kPa
(100 kg/cm
2/1420 psi), the valve in the pump is
defective.


If the pressure recorded is lower than 9300 kPa (95
kg/cm
2/1350 psi), the valve or the rotating group in
the pump is defective.
7. If the pump pressures are within specifications,
leave the valve open and turn (or have someone
else turn) the steering wheel fully in both directions.
Record the highest pressures and compare with the
maximum pump pressure recorded in step 6. If this
pressure cannot be built in either side of the powe
r
steering unit, the power steering unit is leaking
internally and must be replaced.
8. Shut the engine off, remove the testing gauge.
9. Reconnect the pressure hose, check the fluid level
and make the needed repairs.
10. If the problem still exists, the steering and fron
t
suspension must be thoroughly examined.

Maintenance
The hydraulic system should be kept clean and fluid
level in the reservoir should be checked at regula
r
intervals and fluid added when required. Refer to
Recommended Fluids and Lubricants in General
Information section for the type of fluid to be used and
the intervals for filling.
If the system contains some dirt, flush it as described in
this section. If it is exceptionally dirty, the pump must be
completely disassembled before further usage. (The
steering unit cannot be disassembled.)
All tubes, hoses, and fittings should be inspected for
leakage at regular intervals. Fittings must be tight. Make
sure the clips, clamps and supporting tubes and hoses
are in place and properly secured.
Power steering hoses and lines must not be twisted,
kinked or tightly bent. Air in the system will cause
spongy action and noisy operation. When a hose is
disconnected or when fluid is lost, for any reason, the
system must be bled after refilling. Refer to Bleeding the
Power Steering System in this section.


Inspect belt for tightness.


Inspect pulley for looseness or damage. The pulle
y
should not wobble with the engine running.


Inspect hoses so they are not touching any othe
r
parts of the vehicle.


Inspect fluid level and fill to the proper level.

Fluid Level
1. Run the engine until the power steering fluid
reaches normal operating temperature, about 55
C (130
F), then shut the engine off.
2. Check the level of fluid in the reservoir.
3. If the fluid level is low, add power steering fluid as
specified in General Information to the proper level
and install the receiver cap.
4. When checking the fluid level after the steering
system has been serviced, air must be bled from
the system. Refer to Bleeding the Power Steering
System in this section.

Bleeding The Power Steering System
When a power steering pump or unit has been installed,
or an oil line has been disconnected, the air that has
entered the system must be bled out before the vehicle
is operated. If air is allowed to remain in the powe
r
steering fluid system, noisy and unsatisfactory operation
of the system may result.

Bleeding Procedure
When bleeding the system, and any time fluid is added
to the power steering system, be sure to use only powe
r
steering fluid as specified in General Information.
1. Fill the pump fluid reservoir to the proper level and
let the fluid settle for at least two minutes.
2. Start the engine and let it run for a few seconds. Do
not turn the steering wheel. Then turn the engine
off.
3. Add fluid if necessary.
4. Repeat the above procedure until the fluid level
remains constant after running the engine.
5. Raise and support the front end of the vehicle so
that the wheels are off the ground.
6. Start the engine. Slowly turn the steering wheel right
and left, lightly contacting the wheel stops.
7. Add power steering fluid if necessary.
8. Lower the vehicle, set the steering wheel at the
straight forward position after turning it to its full
steer positions 2 or 3 times, and stop the engine.
9. Check the fluid level and refill as required.
10. If the fluid is extremely foamy, allow the vehicle to
set a few minutes, then repeat the above procedure.

Flushing The Power Steering System
1. Raise and support the front end of the vehicle off
the ground until the wheels are free to turn.
2. Remove the fluid return line at the pump inlet
connector and plug the connector port on the pump.
Position the line toward a large container to catch
the draining fluid.
3. While running the engine at idle, fill the reservoi
r
with new power steering fluid. Turn the steering
wheel in both directions. Do not contact or hold the
steering wheel to the wheel stops. This will cause
the pump to go to pressure relief mode, which ma
y
cause a sudden fluid overflow at the reservoir.

7A2-44 TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (AW30–40LE) (V6 3.5L)

Diagnostic Aids

Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connection at
the TCM. Look for possible bent, backed out,
deformed or damaged terminals. Check for weak
terminal tension as well. Also check for a chafed wire
that could short to bare metal or other wiring. Inspect
for a broken wire inside the insulation.

When diagnosing for a possible intermittent short o
r
open condition, move the wiring harness while
observing test equipment for a change.
 Check oil temperature sensor for proper mounting
and adjustment.

DIAGNOSIS (JR405E) 7A2-133
No. G4: Large Noise During Idling with the Vehicle in Stop State

Description:

The transmission is noisy during the idling speed in all ranges.

Diagnosis Hints:

Causes such as solenoid operating sound or faulty oil pump are considered.

Distinguishing to some extent is possible by stopping the solenoid operation temporarily, checking the correlation
for the former case and, changing the line pressure and confirming the correlation with noise.

As a matter of course, noise may be generated around the engine, for instance, other than the AT and should be
checked carefully.
Note:
When the noise is generated only at the time of gear shift, it may be the sound of flowing ATF or gear
noise. If the sound varies depending on the gear speed to be shifted, it may be the gear noise generated
from the planetary gear and its related components. If the sound varies depending on the vehicle
speed, it may be the gear noise of the output system, and if varying depending on the engine speed, it
may be the gear noise of the input system or faulty torque converter.
In either case, sound may be "noise" depending on the origin and resonance object. When the object
generating the sound (resonance object) and the sound source (vibration source) are different,
investigation of the cause may be difficult.





No. H1: Judder Occurs at the Lock-up

Diagnosis Hints:

The vehicle body judders at lock-up.

Diagnosis Hints:

Slip due to burning of the lockup piston or insufficient fastening due to dropped working pressure are considered.
Trouble diagnosis flow is basically the same as "No. I1: No lock-up".
Note:
When the lock-up piston has burnt, foreign material mixed in the oil cooler is considered. In such a
case, inspect the oil cooler circuit for clogging of the oil cooler.





No. H2: Large Lock-up Shock
No. H3: Lock-up Point is High or Low

Description:

Large shock is felt at lock-up.

Lock-up point is excessive high or low.

Diagnosis Hints:

Out of properties of input sensor or faulty lock-up piston pressure system are considered.

Trouble diagnosis flow is basically the same as "No. I1: No lock-up".
