TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FOR UNUSUAL PRESSURE
Whenever system’s high and/or low side pressure(s) is/are unusual, diagnose using a manifold gauge. The
marker above the gauge scale in the following tables indicates the standard (usual) pressure range. Since the
standard (usual) pressure, however, differs from vehicle to vehicle, refer to above table (Ambient air tempera-
ture-to-operating pressure table).
Both High- and Low-pressure Sides are Too High
High-pressure Side is Too High and Low-pressure Side is Too Low
Gauge indication Refrigerant cycle Probable cause Corrective action
Both high- and low-pressure
sides are too high.Pressure is reduced soon after
water is splashed on con-
denser.Excessive refrigerant charge in
refrigeration cycleReduce refrigerant until speci-
fied pressure is obtained.
Air suction by cooling fan is
insufficient.Insufficient condenser cooling
performance
↓
1. Condenser fins are clogged.
2. Improper fan rotation of cool-
ing fan
Clean condenser.
Check and repair cooling fan
as necessary.
Low-pressure pipe is not
cold.
When compressor is stopped
high-pressure value quickly
drops by approximately 196
kPa (1.96 bar, 2 kg/cm
2 , 28
psi). It then decreases gradu-
ally thereafter.Poor heat exchange in con-
denser
(After compressor operation
stops, high-pressure decreases
too slowly.)
↓
Air in refrigeration cycleEvacuate repeatedly and
recharge system.
Engine tends to overheat.Engine cooling systems mal-
function.Check and repair each engine
cooling system.
An area of the low-pressure
pipe is colder than areas
near the evaporator outlet.
Plates are sometimes cov-
ered with frost.
Excessive liquid refrigerant
on low-pressure side
Excessive refrigerant dis-
charge flow
Expansion valve is open a lit-
tle compared with the specifi-
cation.
↓
Improper expansion valve
adjustmentReplace expansion valve.
AC359A
Gauge indication Refrigerant cycle Probable cause Corrective action
High-pressure side is too high and
low-pressure side is too low.
Upper side of condenser and
high-pressure side are hot,
however, liquid tank is not so
hot.High-pressure tube or parts
located between compressor
and condenser are clogged or
crushed.
Check and repair or replace
malfunctioning parts.
Check lubricant for contami-
nation.
