Precautions
A/C System CautionS6RW0D7210001
CAUTION!
The A/C system of this vehicle uses HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant, specified compressor oil and
specified parts.
Do not use CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant, R-12 exclusive use compressor oil and R-12 exclusive parts in
this A/C system, do not attempt to use R-12 servicing equipment. Otherwise, use of it will result in
leakage of refrigerant, damage or other faulty condition of A/C system and damage or other faulty
condition of servicing equipment.
When replenishing or changing refrigerant and compressor oil and when replacing parts, make sure
that the material or the part to be used is appropriate to the A/C installed in the vehicle being serviced.
Use of incorrect one will result in leakage of refrigerant, damage in parts or other faulty condition.
Precautions on Servicing A/C SystemS6RW0D7210002
WARNING!
Should refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) is exposed to your eye(s), consult a doctor immediately.
• Do not reuse your hand to rub affected eye(s). Instead, use fresh cold water to splash it over
affected area to thus gradually raise its temperature above the freezing point.
• Obtain proper treatment as soon as possible from a doctor or eye specialist. Should liquid
refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) is exposed to your skin, such affected part should be treated in the
same manner as when skin is frostbitten or frozen.
Handling Refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a)
• Always wear goggles to protect your eyes.
• Avoid direct contact to liquid refrigerant.
• Do not heat refrigerant container higher than 40 °C (104 °F).
• Do not discharge refrigerant into atmosphere.
• Do not expose bright metals to liquid refrigerant. Refrigerant combined with moisture is corrosive and tarnishes
surfaces of bright metals including chrome.
• Never use heat for bending pipes. When bending a pipe, try to make its bending angle as smooth as possible.
• Keep internal parts of air conditioning free from moisture and dirt. When disconnecting any line from system, install
a blind plug or cap to the fitting immediately.
• When handling recovery and recycling equipment, be sure to follow the instruction manual for the equipment.
• Check local governmental regulations regarding working with refrigerator systems and its tooling.
• When connecting hoses and pipes, apply a few drops of compressor oil (refrigerant oil) to O-ring.
• Replace O-ring with new one once hoses, pipes and parts disconnected.
• When tightening or loosening a fitting, use two wrenches, one for turning and the other for support.
• Route drain hose so that drained water does not make any contact to vehicle components.
• If pipes or hoses are replaced, replenish specified amount of compressor oil to compressor suction side referring to
“Replenishing Compressor Oil” in “Operation Procedure for Refrigerant Charge”.

10) Check for each pressure of low side and high side if it is within shaded range of graph. If each gauge reading is out
of specified pressure, correct defective part referring to the following table.
When diagnosing troubles of abnormal pressure on the low side and high side for each pressure more specifically,
refer to “Trouble Diagnosis for Abnormal Pressure”.
NOTE
Pressure registered on gauge varies with ambient temperature. Therefore, use the graphs when
determining if pressures are normal or not.
Low side and high side pressure example, Gauges should read as follows when ambient temperature is 30
°C (86 °F)
Pressure on high pressure gauge (HI): 1130 – 1560 kPa (11.4 – 15.6 kgf/cm2)
Pressure on low pressure gauge (LO): 270 – 390 kPa (2.7 – 3.9 kgf/cm2)

11) Check inlet port temperature-to-outlet port temperature relationship using the graph. For example, if temperature
near air inlet of HVAC unit is 30 °C (86 °F) and the one at air outlet of center ventilation louver is 17 °C (62.6 °F),
their crossing point is within acceptable range as shown in the graph. In this case, cooling performance is
satisfactory and proper.
12) If crossing point is out of acceptable range, diagnose trouble referring to the following table. Pressure is lower than
acceptable range
(“B” area)Insufficient refrigerant (Insufficient charge or
leakage)Check for leakage, repair if necessary
and recharge.
Expansion valve malfunction (valve opens too

Trouble Diagnosis for Abnormal PressureS6RW0D7214002
NOTE
Normal pressure values on high side and low side in following table are measured when the ambient
temperature is 30 °C. As normal pressure values on high side and low side vary depending on the
ambient temperature, be sure to perform following steps first when diagnosing troubles.
1. Measure the ambient temperature and using that value, read the normal value from the graph given
in Step 10 of “A/C System Performance Inspection”.
2. Put that value in place of the normal pressure in following table.
Condition Possible cause Correction
Crossing point is higher
than acceptable range
