Diagnostic Information and Procedures
A/C System Performance InspectionS6RW0D7214001
1) Confirm that vehicle and environmental conditions
are as follows.
• Vehicle is put indoors.
• Ambient temperature is within 25 – 35 °C (77 – 95
°F).
• Relative humidity is within 30 – 70%.
• There is no wind indoors.
• HVAC unit is normal.
• Blower motor is normal.
• There is no air leakage from air ducts.
• Condenser fins are clean.
• HVAC air filter is not clogged with dirt and dust (if
equipped).
• Battery voltage is about 12 V.
• Radiator cooling fan operates normally.
2) Make sure that high pressure valve (1) and low
pressure valve (2) of manifold gauge are firmly
closed.
3) Connect high pressure charging hose (3) to high
pressure service valve (5) on vehicle and low
pressure charging hose (4) to low pressure service
valve (6).
4) Bleed the air in charging hoses (3) and (4) by
loosening their nuts respectively utilizing the
refrigerant pressure. When a hissing sound is heard,
immediately tighten nut.
CAUTION!
Do not connect high and low pressure
charging hoses in reverse.

5) Warm up engine to the normal operating
temperature and keep it at the specified idle speed.
6) Turn A/C switch ON, set blower speed selector at
maximum speed position, temperature selector at
maximum cold position, air flow selector at face
position, and air intake selector at recirculation
position. (Confirm that A/C compressor, A/C
condenser cooling fan and radiator cooling fan are
working.)
7) Wait for ten minutes to stabilize the A/C operation.
8) Open all door windows, front doors and engine hood.
9) With about 20 mm (0.8 in.) of dry bulb thermometer
(1) put right in front of center ventilation louver and a
wet and dry bulb thermometer (2) near air inlet of
HVAC unit.

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
wide)Check expansion valve.
Compressor malfunction (Insufficient

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
(“E” area)Insufficient or excessive charge of refrigerant Check refrigerant pressure.
Dirty or bent A/C evaporator fins Clean or repair.
Air leakage from cooling (heater) unit or air duct Repair or replace.
Malfunctioning, switch over function of door in
cooling (heater) unitRepair or replace.

Crossing point is lower
than acceptable range
(“F” area)Insufficient air volume from center duct (Heater
blower malfunction)Check blower motor and fan.
Compressor malfunction Check compressor.
