Step 2: DTC Check, Record and Clearance
First, check DTC, referring to “DTC Check”. If DTC is
indicated, print it or write them down and then clear them
by referring to “DTC Clearance”. DTC indicates
malfunction that occurred in the system but does not
indicate whether it exists now or it occurred in the past
and the normal condition has been restored now. To
check which case applies, check the symptom in
question according to Step 5 and recheck DTC
according to Step 6 and 7.
Attempt to diagnose a trouble based on DTC in this step
only or failure to clear the DTC in this step will lead to
incorrect diagnosis, trouble diagnosis of a normal circuit
or difficulty in troubleshooting.
Step 3 and 4: Visual Inspection
As a preliminary step, be sure to perform visual check of
the items that support proper function of the P/S system
referring to “Visual Inspection”.
Step 5: Trouble Symptom Confirmation
Based on information obtained in “Step 1: Customer
Complaint Analysis: ” and “S tep 2: DTC Check, Record
and Clearance: ”, confirm trouble symptoms. Also,
reconfirm trouble symptom by performing test drive and
turning steering wheel fully to right and left at stopped
vehicle.
Step 6 and 7: Rechecking and Record of DTC
Refer to “DTC Check” for checking procedure.
Step 8: Steering Symptom Diagnosis and P/S
System Symptom Diagnosis
Perform basic steering system check according to
“Steering Symptom Diagnosis in Section 6A” first. When
the end of the flow has been reached, check the parts of
the system suspected as a possible cause referring to
“P/S System Symptom Diagnosis” and based on
symptoms appearing on the vehicle (symptoms obtained
through steps of customer complaint analysis, trouble
symptom confirmation and/or basic P/S system check)
and repair or replace faulty parts, if any.
Step 9: Troubleshooting for DTC (See each DTC
Diag. Flow)
Based on the DTC indicated in Step 6 or 7 and referring
to the applicable DTC diag. flow, locate the cause of the
trouble, namely in a sensor, switch, wire harness,
connector, actuator, P/S control module or other part and
repair or replace faulty parts.
Step 10: Intermittent Problems Check
Check parts where an intermittent trouble is easy to
occur (e.g., wire harness, connector, etc.), referring to
“Intermittent and Poor Connection Inspection in Section
00” and related circuit of DTC recorded in Step 2. Step 11: Final Confirmation Test
Confirm that the problem symptom has gone and the P/
S system is free from any abnormal conditions. If what
has been repaired is related to the DTC, clear the DTC
once, perform DTC confirmation procedure and confirm
that no DTC is indicated.
“EPS” Warning Light CheckS7RS0B6304002

diagnostic flows.
2) Start engine and check if the “EPS” warning light turns OFF. If light remains ON and no DTC is stored
in P/S control module, go to ““EPS” Warning Light

Repair Instructions
Operation Procedure for Refrigerant ChargeS7RS0B7216001
WARNING!
• Your eyes should not be exposed to refrigerant (liquid).Any liquid HFC-134a (R-134a) escaping by accident shows a temperature as low as approximately –
6 °C (21.2 ° F) below freezing point. Should liquid HFC-134a (R-134a) is exposed to your eyes, it may
cause a serious injury. To protect your eyes from such accident, it is necessary to always wear
goggles. Should it occur that HFC-134a (R-134a) is exposed to your eyes, consult a doctor
immediately.
– Do not use your hand to rub the affected eye(s). Instead, use fresh cold water to splash it over the affected area to gradually raise temperature of such area above freezing point.
– Obtain proper treatment as soon as possible from a doctor or eye specialist.
• Should the liquid refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) is exposed to your skin, the affected area should be treated in the same manner as when skin is frostbitten or frozen.
• Do not handle refrigerant near any place where welding or steam cleaning is performed.
• Refrigerant should be kept in a cold and dark pl ace. It should never be stored in any place where
temperature is high, e.g. where exposed to direct su n light, close to fire or inside vehicle (including
trunk room).
• Avoid breathing fume produced when HFC-134a (R-134a) is burned. Such fume may be hazardous to your health.
Recovery
When discharging refrigerant out of A/C system, always recover it by using refrigerant recovery and recycling
equipment because discharging refrigerant HFC-134a (R-1 34a) into atmosphere would cause adverse effect to
environments.

Charge
CAUTION!
• Because the sight glass is not used for this A/C system, do not perform an additional
charge to the A/C system. To charge the
proper amount of refrigerant, recover and
evacuate the A/C system first. And then,
charge the proper amount of refrigerant
into the A/C system.
• Always charge refrigerant through low pressure side of A/C system after the initial
charge is performed from the high
pressure side with the engine stopped.
• Never charge refrigerant through high pressure side of A/C system with engine
running.
• Do not charge refrigerant while compressor is hot.
• When installing tap valve to refrigerant container to make a hole there through,
carefully follow dire ctions given by
manufacturer.
• A pressure gauge should always be used before and during refrigerant charge.
• The refrigerant container should be emptied of refrigerant when discarding it.
• The refrigerant container should not be heated up to 40 °C (104 °F) or over.
• Refrigerant container should not be reversed in direction during refrigerant
charge. Reversing in direction causes
liquid refrigerant to enter compressor,
causing troubles, such as compression of
liquid refrigerant and the like.
NOTE
The air conditioning system contains HFC-
134a (R-134a).
Described here is a method to charge the air
conditioning system with refrigerant from the
refrigerant service container.
When charging refrigerant recovered by
using the refrigerant and recycling
equipment (when recycling refrigerant),
follow the procedure described in the
equipment manufacturer’s instruction
manual.
Charge proper amount of refrigerant accurately in
accordance with the following procedure.
Specified amount of refrigerant
370 ± 20 g (13.0 ± 0.7 oz)
The initial charge of the A/C system is performed
through the high pressure side with the engine stopped.
And next, this method must be followed by charging from
the low pressure side with the engine running.
1) Check if hoses are routed properly after evacuating the system.
2) Connect low charging hose (1) and high charging hose (2) of the manifold gauge set (3) in position.
Then, open refrigerant container valve (4) to purge
the charging line.
3) Open the high pressure side valve (5) and charge refrigerant to system.
4) After a while, open the low pressure side valve (6) and close the high pressure side valve.
WARNING!
Make sure that high pressure side valve is
closed securely.
5) Start engine and keep engine speed at 1500 r/min, and then operate A/C system.
6) Charge A/C system with refrigerant in vapor state. At this time, refrigerant container should be held
upright.
