4. At this time, check to see that the voltage of A/C pressure
sensor terminal No. 2 reflects the specifications of the fig-
ure.

Refer to GROUP 00, Maintenance Service Drive Belts
P.00-39.
CHARGING M1552001200403
Use the refrigerant recovery station to charge the refrigerant.
METHOD BY USING REFRIGERANT RECOVERY
AND RECYCLING UNIT
Using the refrigerant recovery and recycling unit, refill the
refrigerant.
NOTE: Refer to the Refrigerant Recovery and Recycling Unit’s
Instruction Manual for operation of the unit.
DISCHARGING SYSTEM
Use the refrigerant recovery unit to discharge refrigerant gas
from the system.
NOTE: Refer to the Refrigerant Recovery and Recycling Unit’s
Instruction Manual for operation of the unit.
REFILLING OF OIL IN THE A/C SYSTEM
Too little oil will provide inadequate compressor lubrication and
cause a compressor failure. Too much oil will increase dis-
charge air temperature.
When a compressor is installed at the factory, it contains 140
ml of refrigerant oil. While the A/C system is in operation, the oil
is carried through the entire system by the refrigerant. Some of
this oil will be trapped and retained in various parts of the sys-
tem.
When the following system components are changed, it is nec-
essary to add oil to the system to replace the oil being removed
with the component.
Compressor oil: ND Oil 8
Quantity:
Evaporator: 40 ml
Condenser: 40 ml

TEST PROCEDURES
1. Select a quiet area for testing.
2. Duplicate problem (customer complaint) as much as
possible.
3. Judge if the noise is abnormal (ie. it is important to
understand the characteristics of the vehicle and its normal
state to judge what is abnormal) - Compare with similar
vehicle if necessary.
4. Detail what and how noise occurs.
5. Find the noise source and verify its transmission by isolating
the subject part from the vehicle.
6. Repair the problem.
7. Explain and report your findings.
DETAILS OF A/C NOISE
POSSIBLE CAUSES, CHECKS AND REPAIRS
NOISE DESCRIPTION WHEN IT OCCURS SOURCE OF NOISE
Rumbling (Bearing noise) With A/C On or Off Magnetic clutch, idler pulley
Clang-Clack noise When compressor is engaged Magnetic clutch operation
Squawking (Belt sliding noise) When compressor is engaged V-belt
Whistling or Whooping noise Immediately after the A/C is
engaged.Expansion valve
Hissing or swishing noise When A/C is engaged, but
decreases as flow is stable Refrigerant flow
Rattling (Internal compressor) When compressor is operating Compressor internal part
Wooing (Resonant noise) With A/C On, occurs at certain
speed.Resonance of accessories
Cooing (Discharge pulsation
noise)With A/C On or Off Resonating noise with the vehicle
body
NOISE DESCRIPTION POSSIBLE CAUSE CHECK REPAIR
Rumbling (Bearing
noise)Bearing damage in rotor Manual rotation of bearing Replace compressor
Rotor slipping on boss Wear on compressor boss
surfaceReplace compressor
Bearing damage in pulley Check alignment between
pulleysReplace compressor

noise)Oil/water between the belt
and rotor surfaceOil and water
contaminationClean
Low belt tension Belt tension Reset or Replace belt and
set tension to correct

REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS
.
<> SUCTION PIPE AND LIQUID PIPE DISCON-
NECTION
As the compressor oil and receiver are highly moisture
absorbent, use a non-porous material to plug the hose and
nipples.
To prevent the entry of dust or other foreign bodies, plug the
dismantled hose and the nipples of the expansion valves.
