1. RHD AZ Engine series:
INSPECT REFRIGERANT VOLUME
(a) Observe the sight glass on the cooler refrigerant liquid
pipe A.
Test conditions:

All doors are fully open.

Temperature control dial is at ºMAX. COOLº.

Engine is running at 1,500 rpm.

Blower speed control switch is at ºHIº.

A/C switch is ON.

(1) Check for gas leakage and repair if nec-
essary
(2) Add refrigerant until bubbles disappear
2No bubbles existEmpty, insufficient or excessiveRefer to 3 and 4
3No temperature difference between com-
pressor inlet and outletEmpty or nearly empty
(1) Check for gas leakage and repair if nec-
essary
(2) Add refrigerant until bubbles disappear
4Considerable temperature difference be-
tween compressor inlet and outletProper or excessiveRefer to 5 and 6
5Immediately after air conditioning is turned
off, refrigerant remains clearExcessive
(1) Discharge refrigerant
(2) Vacuum and supply proper amount of
new refrigerant

Immediately after air conditioning is turned
off, refrigerant foams and then becomes
clear

*: Bubbles in the sight glass with ambient temperatures higher than usual can be considered normal if cooling
is sufficient.

(1) When the refrigerant volume is proper:
Gauge reading:
Low pressure side:
0.15 ± 0.25 MPa (1.5 ± 2.5 kgf/cm
2)
High pressure side:
1.37 ± 1.57 MPa (14 ± 16 kgf/cm
2)
(2) When there is moisture in the refrigeration system:
SymptomProbable causeDiagnosisRemedy
During operation, pressure on low
pressure side cycles between nor-
mal and vacuum
Moisture in refrigeration system
freezes at expansion valve orifice,
causing a temporary stop of cycle.
However, when it melts, normal
state is restored
Drier is overly saturated

Moisture in refrigeration system
freezes at expansion valve orifice
and blocks circulation of refriger-
ant(1) Replace cooler drier
(2) Remove moisture in cycle by
repeatedly vacuuming
(3) Supply proper amount of new
refrigerant

Condition: Air conditioning system does not function effectively.

(3) When cooling is insufficient:
SymptomProbable causeDiagnosisCorrective Actions

Pressure is low on both low and
high pressure sides

RHD AZ engine series:
Bubbles are seen through sight
glass continuously

Cooling performance is insuffi-
cient
Gas leakage in refrigeration sys-
tem
Insufficient refrigerant

Refrigerant leakage
(1) Check for gas leakage and re-
pair if necessary
(2) Supply proper amount of new
refrigerant
(3) If indicated pressure value is
close to 0 when connected to the
gauge, vacuum after inspecting
and repairing the location of leak-
age.
(4) When the circulation of the refrigerant is poor:
SymptomProbable causeDiagnosisCorrective Action

Pressure is low on both low and
high pressure sides

Frost exists on piping from con-
denser to A/C unit
Refrigerant flow is obstructed by
dirt in condenserCondenser is cloggedReplace condenser

(5) When the refrigerant does not circulate:
SymptomProbable causeDiagnosisCorrective Actions

Vacuum is indicated on low pres-
sure side, and extreamly low pres-
sure is indicated on high pressure
side

Frost or dew is seen on piping on
both sides of condenser or expan-
sion valve

Refrigerant flow is obstructed by
moisture or dirt in refrigeration sys-
tem

Refrigerant flow is obstructed by
gas leak from expansion valve
Refrigerant does not circulate
(1) Check the expansion valve
(2) Clean out dirt on expansion
valve by blowing air
(3) Replace condenser
(4) Vacuum and supply proper
amount of new refrigerant
(5) For gas leakage from expan-
sion valve, replace expansion
valve
(6) When the refrigerant is overcharged or cooling of
condenser is insufficient:
SymptomProbable causeDiagnosisRemedy

Pressure is extreamly high on
both low and high pressure sides

RHD AZ engine series:
No air bubbles are seen through
sight glass even when engine rpm
lowers

Excessive refrigerant

Cooling performance of con-
denser is insufficient
Excessive refrigerant

Cooling performance of con-
denser is insufficient
(1) Clean condenser
(2) Check condenser fan motor
operation
(3) If (1) and (2) are in normal
state, check the amount of refrig-
erant and supply proper amount of
refrigerant

I22122
Condition: Air conditioning system does not function.
NOTE : These gauge indica-
tions occur when the refrigera-
tion system opens and the re-
frigerant is charged without
vacuuming.

(7) When there is air in the refrigeration system:
SymptomProbable causeDiagnosisCorrective Actions

Pressure is extreamly high on
both low and the high pressure
sides

The low pressure piping is too
hot to touch

RHD AZ engine series:
Bubbles can be seen through sight
glass
Air in refrigeration system

There is air in refrigeration sys-
tem

Vacuuming is insufficient
(1) Check it compressor oil is dirty
or insufficient
(2) Vacuum and supply new refrig-
erant
(8) When the expansion valve malfunctions:
SymptomProbable causeDiagnosisCorrective Actions

Pressure is extreamly high on
both low and high pressure sides

Frost or dew is on piping on low
pressure side
Trouble with expansion valve

Excessive refrigerant in low
pressure piping

Expansion valve opened too
wide
Replace expansion valve
