REFRIGERANT LINES
CAUTION:
Replace the O-rings on the A/C low-pressure flexible A/C hose and the high-pressure A/C pipe with
new ones. Apply compressor oil to the O-rings for installation.
Removal and Installation for Expansion ValveEJS006CZ
REMOVAL
1. Discharge the refrigerant. Refer toATC-138, "HFC-134a (R-134a) Service Procedure".
2. Remove the heater and cooling unit assembly. Refer toATC-126, "
REMOVAL".
3. Remove the heater core and evaporator pipes grommet.
4. Remove the expansion valve.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
lReplace the O-rings on then expansion valve and the A/C refrigerant pipes with new ones, then
apply compressor oil to them for installation.
lAfter charging refrigerant, check for leaks.
Checking for Refrigerant LeaksEJS006D1
Perform a visual inspection of all refrigeration parts, fittings, hoses and components for signs of A/C lubricant
leakage, damage and corrosion. A/C lubricant leakage may indicate an area of refrigerant leakage. Allow
extra inspection time in these areas when using either an electronic refrigerant leak detector or fluorescent
dye leak detector.
If dye is observed, confirm the leak with an electronic refrigerant leak detector. It is possible a prior leak was
repaired and not properly cleaned.
When searching for leaks, do not stop when one leak is found but continue to check for additional leaks at all
system components and connections.
When searching for refrigerant leaks using an electronic leak detector, move the probe along the suspected
leak area at 1 to 2 inches per second and no further than 1/4 inch from the component.
CAUTION:
Moving the electronic leak detector probe slower and closer to the suspected leak area will improve
the chances of finding a leak.
Checking System for Leaks Using the Fluorescent Leak DetectorEJS006D2
1. Check A/C system for leaks using the UV lamp and safety goggles [SST: J-42220] in a low sunlight area
(area without windows preferable). Illuminate all components, fittings and lines. The dye will appear as a
bright green/yellow area at the point of leakage. Fluorescent dye observed at the evaporator drain open-
ing indicates an evaporator core assembly (tubes, core or expansion valve) leak.
2. If the suspected area is difficult to see, use an adjustable mirror or wipe the area with a clean shop rag or
cloth, with the UV lamp for dye residue.
3. After the leak is repaired, remove any residual dye using dye cleaner [SST: J-43872] to prevent future mis-
diagnosis.
4. Perform a system performance check and verify the leak repair with an approved electronic refrigerant
leak detector.
NOTE:
Other gases in the work area or substances on the A/C components, for example, anti-freeze, windshield
washer fluid, solvents and lubricants, may falsely trigger the leak detector. Make sure the surfaces to be
checked are clean.
Cleanwithadryclothorblowoffwithshopair.
Do not allow the sensor tip of the detector to contact with any substance. This can also cause false readings
and may damage the detector.Expansion valve bolts : 4 N·m (0.41 kg-m, 35 in-lb)

COMPASS
COMPASS
PFP:24835
System DescriptionEKS00M4Z
This unit displays earth magnetism and heading direction of vehicle.
DIRECTION DISPLAY
Press “COMP” switch (1) when ignition switch is in “ON” or “START” position. The direction is displayed.
Pressing “COMP” switch (1) for a second turns off the display (2).
NOTE:
lDo not install the ski rack, antenna, etc. which are attached to
the vehicle by means of a magnet. They affect the operation of
the compass.
lThe compass may not indicate the correct compass point in tun-
nels or while driving up or down a steep hill. (The compass
returns to the correct compass point when the vehicle moves to
an area where the geomagnetism is stabilized.)
lWhen cleaning the mirror, use a paper towel or similar material
dampened with glass cleaner. Do not spray glass cleaner
directly on the mirror as that may cause the liquid cleaner to
enter the mirror housing.
Zone Variation Change ProcedureEKS00MS2
The difference between magnetic north and geographical north is known as variance. In some areas, this dif-
ference can sometimes be great enough to cause false compass reading.
Follow these instructions to set the variance for the particular location if this happens:
1. Press “COMP” switch for more than 3 seconds. The current zone number appears on the display.
2. Find the current location and variance one number on the zone variation chart.
3. Press “COMP” switch until the new zone number appears on the display. After releasing the switch, the
display shows a compass direction within a few seconds.

–When an insert stopper is not provided with the pipe, insert the hose up to dimension A. When the pipe is
shorter than dimension A, insert hose fully until it reaches the end.
–When an insert stopper is provided on the pipe side, insert the hose until it reaches the stopper.
lBefore starting engine, bleed air from fuel piping. Refer toFL-5, "Air Bleeding".
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Start engine and increase engine speed to check for fuel leak.
CAUTION:
Do not touch the engine immediately after stopped as engine becomes extremely hot.
NOTE:
Use mirrors for checking at points out of clear sight.Dimension A : 15 – 20 mm (0.591 – 0.787 in)

CYLINDER HEAD
INSTALLATION
Before installation, remove old liquid gasket from mating surface of all liquid gasket applied parts.
1. Install cylinder head gasket.
lCylinder head gasket to be installed is selected by its thickness through the following procedure.
–When replacing gasket alone
• Install a gasket with same thickness as that of the one removed.
• Identify the thickness of gasket by the number of cut-outs on
the rear RH side.
*: Measured with head bolts tightened
• Gasket (3) thickness can be identified at the location (A)
shown in the figure by the numbers of cut-outs before
removal.
• Heater return tube is omitted for explanation.
NOTE:
Use mirrors for checking at points out of clear sight.
–When the following parts have been repaired/replaced:
lWith cylinder block upper surface and/or crankshaft pin journal ground
lWith cylinder block, pistons, connecting rods, and/or crankshaft replaced
a. Set piston at a point close to TDC.
b. Set the dial gauge at the location as shown in the figure. Turning
crankshaft gradually, set the gauge scale to “0” where the piston
protrusion is maximized.
c. Movethedialgaugestandsothatthetipofdialgaugecancon-
tact cylinder block. Read the difference.
d. Measure two points from each cylinder in order to obtain each
mean value of them. Choose a properly thick gasket corre-
sponding the highest number of the four values.
