19. Install torque converter.
a. Pour ATF into torque converter.
Approximately 2 liter (2-1/8 US qt, 1-3/4 Imp qt) of ATF is
required for a new torque converter.
When reusing old torque converter, add the same amount
of ATF as was drained.
b. Install torque converter while aligning notches of torque con- verter with notches of oil pump.
CAUTION:
Install torque converter while rotating it.
c. Measure distance “A” to check that torque converter is in proper position.

LUBRICANT ADJUSTING PROCEDURE FOR COMPRESSOR REPLACEMENT
1. Before connecting recovery/recycling recharging equipment to vehicle, check recovery/recycling recharg- ing equipment gauges. No refrigerant pressure should be displayed. If NG, recover refrigerant from equip-
ment lines.
2. Connect recovery/recycling recharging equipment to vehicle. Confirm refrigerant purity in supply tank using recovery/recycling recharging equipment and refrigerant identifier. If NG, refer to AT C - 7 , "
CONTAM-
INATED REFRIGERANT" .
3. Confirm refrigerant purity in vehicle A/C system using recovery/recycling recharging equipment and refrig- erant identifier. If NG, refer to AT C - 7 , "
CONTAMINATED REFRIGERANT" .
4. Discharge refrigerant into the refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment. Measure lubricant discharged into the recovery/recycling equipment.
5. Drain the lubricant from the old (removed) compressor into a graduated container and recover the amount of lubricant drained.
6. Drain the lubricant from the new compressor into a separate, clean container.
7. Measure an amount of new lubricant installed equal to amount drained from old compressor. Add this lubricant to new compressor through the suction port opening.
8. Measure an amount of new lubricant equal to the amount recovered during discharging. Add this lubricant to new compressor through the suction port opening.
9. If the liquid tank also needs to be replaced, add another 5 m (0.2 US fl oz., 0.2 Imp fl oz.) of lubricant at this time.
Do not add this 5 m (0.2 US fl oz., 0.2 Imp fl oz.) of lubricant when replaces the compressor only.

Low-pressure Side Sometimes Becomes Negative
Low-pressure Side Becomes Negative
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE FOR INSUFFICIENT COOLING
SYMPTOM: Insufficient cooling
1. CHECK POWER SUPPLY FOR ECV (ELECTRONIC CONTROL VALVE)
1. Disconnect compressor (ECV) connector.
2. Turn ignition switch ON.
3. Check voltage between compressor (ECV) harness connector F6 terminal 2 and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> Check power supply circuit and 10A fuse [No. 12, located in the fuse block (J/B)]. Refer to PG-81, "
FUSE
BLOCK - JUNCTION BOX (J/B)" .
If fuse is OK, check harness for open circuit. Repair or replace if necessary.
If fuse is NG, check harness for short circuit and replace fuse.
Gauge indication Refrigerant cycle Probable cause Corrective action
Low-pressure side sometimes
becomes negative.
Air conditioning system
does not function and does
not cyclically cool the com-
partment air.
The system constantly func-
tions for a certain period of
time after compressor is
stopped and restarted. Refrigerant does not dis-
charge cyclically.
↓
Moisture is frozen at expan-
sion valve outlet and inlet.
↓
Water is mixed with refriger-
ant.
Drain water from refrigerant
or replace refrigerant.
Replace liquid tank.
AC354A
Gauge indication Refrigerant cycle Probable cause Corrective action
Low-pressure side becomes nega-
tive.
Liquid tank or front/rear side of
expansion valve’s pipe is
frosted or wet with dew. High-pressure side is closed
and refrigerant does not flow.
↓
Expansion valve or liquid tank
is frosted. Leave the system at rest until
no frost is present. Start it
again to check whether or not
the malfunction is caused by
water or foreign particles.
If water is the cause, initially
cooling is okay. Then the
water freezes causing a
blockage. Drain water from
refrigerant or replace refrig-
erant.
If due to foreign particles,
remove expansion valve
and remove the particles
with dry and compressed air
(not shop air).
If either of the above meth-
ods cannot correct the mal-
function, replace expansion
valve.
Replace liquid tank.
Check lubricant for contami-
nation.
