Precaution for Service of CompressorINFOID:0000000003533224
• Plug all openings to prevent moisture and foreign matter from entering.
• When the compressor is removed, store it in the same position as it is when mounted on the car.
• When replacing or repairing co mpressor, follow “Maintenance of Oil Quantity in Compressor”
exactly. Refer to ATC-20, "
Maintenance of Oil Quantity in Compressor".
• Keep friction surfaces between clutch and pulley clean . If the surface is contaminated with oil, wipe
it off by using a clean wast e cloth moistened with thinner.
• After compressor service operation, turn the compressor shaft by hand more than 5 turns in both
directions. This will equa lly distribute oil inside the compresso r. After the compressor is installed,
let the engine idle and oper ate the compressor for 1 hour.
• After replacing the compressor magnet clutch, ap ply voltage to the new one and check for normal
operation. Refer to ATC-155, "
Removal and Installation for Compressor Clutch".

RECOVERY/RECYCLING EQUIPMENT
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for machine operation and machine maintenance. Never introduce any
refrigerant other than that specified into the machine.

PRECAUTIONS
The oil contained inside the vacuum pump is not compatible with the
specified oil for HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C systems. The vent side of
the vacuum pump is exposed to atmospheric pressure so the vac-
uum pump oil may migrate out of the pump into the service hose.
This is possible when the pump is switched off after evacuation (vac-
uuming) and hose is connected to it.
To prevent this migration, use a manual valve situated near the
hose-to-pump connection, as follows.
• Usually vacuum pumps have a manual isolator valve as part of the
pump. Close this valve to isolat e the service hose from the pump.
• For pumps without an isolator, use a hose equipped with a manual shut-off valve near the pump end. Close the valve to isolate the
hose from the pump.
• If the hose has an automatic shut off valve, disconnect the hose from the pump: as long as the hose is connected, the valve is open
and lubricating oil may migrate.
Some one-way valves open when vacuum is applied and close
under a no vacuum condition. Such valves may restrict the pump's
ability to pull a deep vacuum and are not recommended.
MANIFOLD GAUGE SET
Be certain that the gauge face indicates HFC-134a (R-134a or
134a). Make sure the gauge set has 1/2 ″-16 ACME threaded con-
nections for service hoses. Confirm the set has been used only with
refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) along with specified oil.
SERVICE HOSES
Be certain that the service hoses display the markings described
(colored hose with black stripe). All hoses must include positive shut-
off devices (either manual or aut omatic) near the end of the hoses
opposite the manifold gauge.

Never attempt to connect HFC-134a (R-134a) service couplers to a
CFC-12 (R-12) A/C system. T he HFC-134a (R-134a) couplers will
not properly connect to the CFC-12 (R-12) system. If an improper
connection is attempted, dischar ging and contamination may occur.
REFRIGERANT WEIGHT SCALE
Verify that no refrigerant other than HFC134a (R-134a) and specified
oils have been used with the scale. If the scale controls refrigerant
flow electronically, the hose fitting must be 1/2”-16 ACME.
CHARGING CYLINDER
Using a charging cylinder is not recommended. Refrigerant may be vented into air from cylinder's top valve
when filling the cylinder with refrigerant. Also, the accura cy of the cylinder is generally less than that of an
electronic scale or of quality recycle/recharge equipment.

The actual shapes of Kent-Moore tools may differ from those of special service tools illustrated here.
HFC-134a (R-134a) Service Tool and EquipmentINFOID:0000000003533227
Never mix HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant and/or the spec ified oil with CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and/or the
oil.
Separate and non-interchangeable service equipment must be used for handling each type of refrigerant/oil.
Refrigerant container fittings, service hose fittings and service equipment fittings (equipment which handles
refrigerant and/or oil) are different between CFC-12 (R-12) and HFC-134a (R-134a). This is to avoid mixed
use of the refrigerants/oil.
Adapters that convert one size fitting to another must never be used refrigerant/oil contamination will occur
and compressor failure will result.

REFRIGERATION SYSTEM
REFRIGERATION SYSTEM
Refrigerant CycleINFOID:0000000003533229
REFRIGERANT FLOW
The refrigerant flows in the standard pattern, that is, through the compressor, the condenser with liquid tank,
through the front and rear evaporators, and back to the compressor. The refrigerant evaporation through the
evaporator coils are controlled by front and rear exter nally equalized expansion valves, located inside the front
and rear evaporator cases.
Refrigerant System ProtectionINFOID:0000000003533230
REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR
The refrigerant system is protected against excessively high or low pressures by the refrigerant pressure sen-
sor, located on the condenser. If the system pressure rise s above or falls below the specifications, the refriger-
ant pressure sensor detects the pressure inside t he refrigerant line and sends a voltage signal to the ECM.
The ECM de-energizes the A/C relay to disengage the magnetic compressor clutch when pressure on the high
pressure side detected by refrigerant pressu re sensor is over about 2,746 kPa (28 kg/cm
2, 398 psi), or below
about 120 kPa (1.22 kg/cm
2, 17.4 psi).
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
The refrigerant system is also protected by a pressure relief valve, located in the rear head of the compressor.
When the pressure of refrigerant in the system incr eases to an abnormal level [more than 2,990 kPa (30.5 kg/

Maintenance of Oil Quantity in CompressorINFOID:0000000003533232
The oil in the compressor circulates through the system with the refrigerant. Add oil to compressor when
replacing any component or after a large refrigerant leakage has occurred. It is important to maintain the spec-
ified amount.
If oil quantity is not maintained properly, the following malfunctions may result:
• Lack of oil: May lead to a seized compressor
• Excessive oil: Inadequate cooling (thermal exchange interference)

1. Before connecting recovery/recycling equipment to vehicle, check recovery/recycling equipment gauges.
No refrigerant pressure should be displayed. If NG, recover refrigerant from equipment lines.
2. Connect recovery/recycling equipment to vehicle. Confir m refrigerant purity in supply tank using recovery/
recycling equipment and refrigerant identifier. If NG, refer to AT C - 3 , "
Contaminated Refrigerant".
3. Confirm refrigerant purity in vehicle A/C system using recovery/recycling equipment and refrigerant identi-
fier. If NG, refer to AT C - 3 , "
Contaminated Refrigerant".
4. Discharge refrigerant into the refrigerant recove ry/recycling equipment. Measure oil discharged into the
recovery/recycling equipment.
5. Drain the oil from the “old” (removed) compress or into a graduated container and recover the amount of
oil drained.
6. Drain the oil from the “new” compressor into a separate, clean container.
7. Measure an amount of new oil installed equal to am ount drained from “old” compressor. Add this oil to
