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 .

To prevent the entry of dust or other foreign bodies, plug the dismantled hoses and
compressor nipples. << B >> COMPRESSOR REMOVAL Take care not to spill any compressor oil when removing the compressor. INSTALLATION SERVICE POINT >> A << COMPRESSOR INSTALLATION If a new compressor is installed, first adjust the amount of oil according to the
procedures described below, and then install the compressor.
1. Measure the amount [X cm
3 (X fl.oz) of oil within the removed compressor.
2. Drain (from the new compressor) the amount of oil calculated according to the
following formula, and then install the new compressor.
New compressor oil amount = 140cm
2 (4.7 fl.oz)
140 cm
3 - X cm
3 = Y cm

CAUTION: As the compressor oil and receiver are highly
moisture absorbent, use a non-porous material to
plug the hose and nipples.
NOTE:
Y cm
3 (Y fl.oz) indicates the amount of oil in the refrigerant
line, the condenser, the evaporator, etc.
NOTE: When replacing the following parts at the same times as the
compressor, subtract the rated oil amount of each part from
Y cm3 (Y fl.oz) and discharge from the new compressor.

INSPECTION COMPRESSOR AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR CLUTCH OPERATION CHECK Connect the compressor connector terminal to the battery positive (+) terminal and
ground the battery's negative (-) terminal to the compressor unit. At that time, the
air conditioning compressor clutch should make a definite operating sound. Fig. 298: Checking A/C Compressor Clutch
