weather, vehicle speed, in gear or neutral, engine temperature or any other special
conditions. Noises that develop during A/C operation can often be misleading. For example:
what sounds like a failed front bearing or connecting rod, may be caused by loose
bolts, nuts, mounting brackets, or a loose clutch assembly. Verify accessory drive
belt tension (power steering or generator).
Improper accessory drive belt tension can cause a misleading noise when the
compressor is engaged and little or no noise when the compressor is disengaged.
Drive belts are speed-sensitive. That is, at different engine speeds, and depending
upon belt tension, belts can develop unusual noises that are often mistaken for
mechanical problems within the compressor. HANDLING TUBING AND FITTINGS Kinks in the refrigerant tubing or sharp bends in the refrigerant hose lines will
greatly reduce the capacity of the entire system. High pressures are produced in the
system when it is operating. Extreme care must be exercised to make sure that all
connections are pressure tight. Dirt and moisture can enter the system when it is
opened for repair or replacement of lines or components. The following precautions
must be observed. The system must be completely discharged before opening any
fitting of connection in the refrigeration system. Open fittings with caution even
after the system has been discharged. If any pressure is noticed as a fitting is
loosened, allow trapped pressure to bleed off very slowly. Never attempt to rebend formed lines to fit. Use the correct line for the installation
you are servicing. A good rule for the flexible hose lines is keep the radius of all
bends at least 10 times the diameter of the hose.
Sharper bends will reduce the flow of refrigerant. The flexible hose lines should be
routed so that they are at least 80 mm (3.1 inches) from the exhaust manifold. It is
good practice to inspect all flexible hose lines at least once a year to make sure they
are in good condition and properly routed.

ADJUSTMENT 1. Select a quiet area for testing. Duplicate conditions as much as possible.
Switch the compressor on and off several times to clearly identify compressor
noise. To duplicate high ambient conditions (high head pressure), restrict air
flow through the condenser. Install a manifold gauge set to make sure
discharge pressure doesn't exceed 2,070 kPa (300.2 psi).
2. Tighten all compressor mounting bolts, clutch mounting bolt, and compressor
drive belt. Check to assure clutch coil is tight (no rotation or wobble).
3. Check refrigerant hoses for rubbing or interference that can cause unusual
noises.
4. Check refrigerant charge. (Refer to
CHARGING
and
DISCHARGING
).
5. Recheck compressor noise as in Step 1 .
6. If noise still exists, loosen compressor mounting bolts and retighten. Repeat
Step 1 .
7. If noise continues, replace compressor and repeat from Step 1 .

YES: Repeat from Step 1 .
NO: The procedure is complete.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 2: DIFFICULT STEERING WHEEL OPERATION (INSUFFICIENT POWER ASSIST) DIAGNOSIS
STEP 1. Check the drive belt for damage.
Q: Is the drive belt damaged?
YES: Replace the drive belt. Then go to Step 9 .
NO: Go to Step 2.
STEP 2. Check the power steering oil pump drive belt tension.
Refer to 7. DRIVE BELTS (FOR GENERATOR, POWER STEERING OIL PUMP AND AIR CONDITIONING) (CHECK)
.
Q: Is the power steering oil pump drive belt tension within the standard
value?
YES: Go to Step 3.
NO: Adjust the tension. (Refer to 7. DRIVE BELTS (FOR
GENERATOR, POWER STEERING OIL PUMP AND AIR CONDITIONING) (CHECK)
). Then go to Step 9 .
STEP 3. Check the fluid level.
1. Park the vehicle on a flat, level surface, and then start the engine.
2. Turn the steering wheel several times to raise the temperature of the fluid
to approximately 50 - 60°C (122 - 140°F).
3. With the engine running, turn the wheel all the way to the left and right
several times.
4. Check the fluid in the oil reservoir for foaming or milkiness. Check the
difference of the fluid level when the engine is stopped, and while it is
running.
Q: Is the check result OK?

Q: Is there noise?
YES: Repeat from Step 1 .
NO: The procedure is complete.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 5: SQUEALING NOISE DIAGNOSIS
STEP 1. Check the drive belt tension.
Refer to 7. DRIVE BELTS (FOR GENERATOR, POWER STEERING OIL PUMP AND AIR CONDITIONING) (CHECK)
.
Q: Is the drive belt tension incorrect?
YES: Adjust the belt tension. (Refer to 7. DRIVE BELTS (FOR
GENERATOR, POWER STEERING OIL PUMP AND AIR CONDITIONING) (CHECK)
). Then go to Step 3 .
NO: Go to Step 2.
STEP 2. Check for seizure in the oil pump.
Q: Is there seizure?
YES: Replace the part. Then go to Step 3.
NO: Go to Step 3.
STEP 3. Retest the system.
Confirm that no noise is generated.
Q: Is there noise?
YES: Repeat from Step 1 .
NO: The procedure is complete.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 6: HISSING NOISE DIAGNOSIS
