TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Revision: 2006 January2006 M35/M45
High-pressure Side is Too Low and Low-pressure Side is Too High
Both High- and Low-pressure Sides are Too Low
Gauge indication Refrigerant cycle Probable cause Corrective action
High-pressure side is too low and
low-pressure side is too high.High- and low-pressure sides
become equal soon after com-
pressor operation stops.Compressor pressure opera-
tion is improper.
Damaged inside compressor
packings.Replace compressor.
No temperature difference
between high- and low-pres-
sure sides.Compressor pressure opera-
tion is improper.
Damaged inside compressor
packings.Replace compressor.AC356A
Gauge indication Refrigerant cycle Probable cause Corrective action
Both high- and low-pressure sides
are too low.
There is a big temperature
difference between liquid
tank outlet and inlet. Outlet
temperature is extremely
low.
Liquid tank inlet and expan-
sion valve are frosted.Liquid tank inside is slightly
clogged.
Replace liquid tank.
Check lubricant for contami-
nation.
Temperature of expansion
valve inlet is extremely low
as compared with areas
near liquid tank.
Expansion valve inlet may
be frosted.
Temperature difference
occurs somewhere in high-
pressure side.High-pressure pipe located
between liquid tank and
expansion valve is clogged.
Check and repair malfunc-
tioning parts.
Check lubricant for contami-
nation.
Expansion valve and liquid
tank are warm or slightly cool
when touched.Low refrigerant charge.
Leaking fittings or compo-
nents.Check refrigerant for leaks.
Refer to ATC-170, "Checking
for Refrigerant Leaks" .
There is a big temperature dif-
ference between expansion
valve inlet and outlet while the
valve itself is frosted.Expansion valve closes a little
compared with the specifica-
tion.
1. Improper expansion valve
adjustment.
2. Malfunctioning expansion
valve.
3. Outlet and inlet may be
clogged.
Remove foreign particles by
using compressed air.
Replace expansion valve.
Check lubricant for contami-
nation.
An area of the low-pressure
pipe is colder than areas near
the evaporator outlet.Low-pressure pipe is clogged
or crushed.
Check and repair malfunc-
tioning parts.
Check lubricant for contami-
nation.
Air flow volume is not enough
or is too low.Evaporator is frozen.
Check intake sensor circuit.
Refer to ATC-122, "
Intake
Sensor Circuit" .
Replace compressor.
Repair evaporator fins.
Replace evaporator.
Refer to AT C - 8 9 , "Blower
Motor Circuit" .
