PRECAUTIONS FOR REPLACEMENT OR
REPAIR OF AIR CONDITIONING PARTS
There are certain procedures, practices and precautions that
should be followed when servicing air conditioning systems:

Keep your work area clean.

Always wear safety goggle and protective gloves when
working on refrigerant systems.
 Beware of the danger of carbon monoxide fumes caused by
running the engine.

Beware of discharged refrigerant in enclosed or improperly
ventilated garages.


Always disconnect the negative battery cable and discharge
and recover the refrigerant whenever repairing the air
conditioning system.

When discharging and recovering the refrigerant, do not
allow refrigerant to discharge too fast; it will draw
compressor oil out of the system.

Keep moisture and contaminants out of the system. When
disconnecting or removing any lines or parts, use plugs or
caps to close the fittings immediately.
Never remove the caps or plugs until the lines or parts are
reconnected or installed.

When disconnecting or reconnecting the lines, use two
wrenches to support the line fitting, to prevent from twisting
or other damage.

Always install new O-rings whenever a connection is
disassembled.

Before connecting any hoses or lines, apply new specified
compressor oil to the O-rings.

When removing and replacing any parts which require
discharging the refrigerant circuit, the operations described
in this section must be performed in the following sequence:

1) Using the ACR
4 (HFC-134a Refrigerant Recovery/
Recycling/Recharging/System) or equivalent to
thoroughly discharge and recover the refrigerant.
ACR
4 (115V 60Hz) : 5-8840-0629-0 (J-39500-A)
ACR4 (220-240V 50/60Hz)
: 5-8840-0630-0 (J-39500-220A)

RECOVERY, RECYCLING, EVACUATION
AND CHARGING
Handling Refrigerant-134a (HFC-134a)
Air conditioning systems contain HFC-134a.
This is a chemical mixture which requires special handling
procedures to avoid personal injury.
 Always wear safety goggles and protective gloves.
 Always work in a well-ventilated area. Do not weld or steam
clean on or near any vehicle-installed air conditioning lines
or components.

If HFC-134a should come in contact with any part of the
body, flush the exposed area with cold water and
immediately seek medical help.

If it is necessary to transport or carry any container of HFC-
134a in a vehicle, do not carry it in the passenger
compartment.
 If it is necessary to fill a small HFC-134a container from a
large one, never fill the container completely. Space should
always be allowed above the liquid for expansion.

Keep HFC-134a containers stored below 40
C (104
F).


WARNING





SHOULD HFC-134a CONTACT YOUR EYE(S), CONSULT
A DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY.





DO NOT RUB THE AFFECTED EYE(S). INSTEAD,
SPLASH QUANTITIES OF FRESH COLD WATER OVER
THE AFFECTED AREA TO GRADUALLY RAISE THE
TEMPERATURE OF THE REFRIGERANT ABOVE THE
FREEZING POINT.





OBTAIN PROPER MEDICAL TREATMENT AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE. SHOULD THE HFC-134a TOUCH THE SKIN,
THE INJURY MUST BE TREATED THE SAME AS SKIN
WHICH HAS BEEN FROSTBITTEN OR FROZEN.

EVACUATION OF THE REFRIGERANT
SYSTEM
NOTE:
Explained below is a method using a vacuum pump. Refer
to the ACR
4 (or equivalent) Manufacturer's Instructions
when evacuating the system with ACR4 (or equivalent).

Air and moisture in the refrigerant will cause problems in the air
conditioning system.
Therefore, before charging the refrigerant, be sure to evacuate
air and moisture thoroughly from the system.
1) Connect the gauge manifold.






High-pressure valve (HI) - Discharge-side






Low-pressure valve (LOW) - Suction-side
2) Discharge and recover the refrigerant.
3) Connect the center hose of the gauge manifold set to the
vacuum pump inlet.
4) Operate the vacuum pump, open shutoff valve and then
open both hand valves.
5) When the low-pressure gauge indicates approx. 100kPa
(750 mmHg/30 inHg), continue the evacuation for 5 minutes
or more.
6) Close both hand valves and stop the vacuum pump.


7) Check to ensure that the pressure does not change after 10
minutes or more.






If the pressure changes, check the system for leaks.






If leaks occur, retighten the refrigerant line connections
and repeat the evacuation steps.
8) If no leaks are found, again operate the vacuum pump for
20 minutes or more. After confirming that the gauge
manifold pressure is at 100 kPa (750 mmHg/30 inHg), close
both hand valves.
9) Close positive shutoff valve.
Stop the vacuum pump and disconnect the center hose
from the vacuum pump.

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.
