Performance Diagnosis
1) Confirm that vehicle and environmental conditions are as fol-
lows.
Vehicle is not exposed to direct sun.
Ambient temperature is within 15 – 35 °C (59 – 95 °F).
2) Make sure that high pressure valve (1) and low pressure
valve (2) of manifold gauge set (3) are firmly closed.
3) Connect high pressure charging hose (4) to high pressure
service valve (5), and connect low pressure charging hose
(6) to low pressure service valve (7).
4) Bleed the air in charging hoses (4), (6) by loosening their
respective nuts on manifold gauge set (3), utilizing the refrig-
erant pressure. When a hissing sound is heard, immediately
tighten nut.
5) Warm up engine to normal operating temperature (engine
coolant temperature at 80 – 90 °C (176 – 194 °F)) and keep
it at specified idle speed. (Radiator cooling fan should not be
working when checking pressure and temperature.)
6) Turn A/C switch ON, and set blower switch at “HI” (3rd posi-
tion), temperature knob at “COOL” air outlet control knob at
“FACE” and fresh / circulation control knob at “CIRCULA-
TION”. (Confirm that A/C compressor and radiator / con-
denser cooling fan are working.)
Keep all windows, doors and engine food open.

7) With dry bulb thermometer (1) inserted into center duct air
outlet and another one set near evaporator air inlet, read
temperature indicated on each thermometer. CAUTION:
Do not interchange high and low pressure charging
hoses by mistake.
Ambient temperature 15 – 35 °C (59 – 95 °F)
Engine rpm Keep to 1,500 rpm.

1) Connect high charging hose (1) and low charging hose (2) of
manifold gauge set (3) respectively as follows:
High charging hose (1) → High pressure charging valve (4)
on discharge hose
Low charging hose (2) → Low pressure charging valve (5) on
suction hose
2) Attach center charging hose (6) of manifold gauge set (3) to
vacuum pump (7).
3) Operate vacuum pump (7), and then open discharge side
valve (Hi) (8) of manifold gauge set (3).
If there is no blockage in the system, there will be an indica-
tion on high pressure gauge (9).
In this case, open the other side valve (Lo) (10) of the set
and repair the system.
4) Approximately 10 minutes later, low pressure gauge (11)
should show a vacuum lower than –760 mmHg providing no
leakage exists.
5) Evacuation should be carried out for a total of at least 15
minutes.
6) Continue evacuation until low pressure gauge (9) indicates a
vacuum less than –760 mmHg, and then close both valves
(8), (10).
7) Stop vacuum pump (7). Disconnect center charging hose (6)
from pump inlet. Now, the system is ready for charging refrig-
erant. NOTE:
If the system does not show a vacuum below –760
mmHg, close both valves, stop vacuum pump and
watch movement of low pressure gauge.
Increase in the gauge reading suggests existence of
leakage. In this case, repair the system before continu-
ing its evacuation.
If the gauge shows a stable reading (suggesting no
leakage), continue evacuation.
