ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
PRECAUTIONS FOR REPLACEMENT OR
REPAIR OF AIR CONDITIONING PARTS
There are certain procedures, practices and precautions that
should be followed when servicing air conditioning systems:
• Keep your work area clean.
• Always wear safety goggle and protective gloves when
working on refrigerant systems.
• Beware of the danger of carbon monoxide fumes caused by
running the engine.
• Beware of discharged refrigerant in enclosed or improperly
ventilated garages.
•
Always disconnect the negative battery cable and discharge
and recover the refrigerant whenever repairing the air
conditioning system.
• W hen discharging and recovering the refrigerant, do not
allow refrigerant to discharge too fast; it will draw
compressor oil out of the system.
• Keep moisture and contaminants out of the system. W hen
disconnecting or removing any lines or parts, use plugs or
caps to close the fittings immediately.
Never remove the caps or plugs until the lines or parts are reconnected or installed.
• W hen disconnecting or reconnecting the lines, use two
wrenches to support the line fitting, to prevent from twisting
or other damage.
• Always install new O-rings whenever a connection is
disassembled.
• Before connecting any hoses or lines, apply new specified
compressor oil to the O-rings.
• W hen removing and replacing any parts which require
discharging the refrigerant circuit, the operations described
in this section must be performed in the following sequence:
1) Using the ACR
4 (HFC-134a Refrigerant Recovery/
Recycling/Recharging/System) or equivalent to
thoroughly discharge and recover the refrigerant.
ACR
4 (115V 60Hz) : 5-8840-0629-0 (J-39500-A)
ACR4 (220-240V 50/60Hz)
: 5-8840-0630-0 (J-39500-220A)
ACR
4 (220-240V 50/60Hz Australian model)
: 5-8840-0631-0 (J-39500-220ANZ)
2) Remove and replace the defective part.
3)
After evacuation, charge the air conditioning system and
check for leaks.

refrigerant container.
1) Make sure the evacuation process is correctly completed.
2) Connect the center-hose of the manifold gauge to the refrigerant container. •
••
•
Turn the charge valve handle counterclockwise to purge
to the charging line and purge any air exiting in the
center-hose of the manifold gauge.
3) Open the low-pressure hand valve and charge the refrigerant about 200 g (0.44 lbs.). •
••
•
Make sure the high-pressure hand valve is closed.
•
••
•
Avoid charging the refrigerant by turning the refrigerant
container upside down.
4) Close the low-pressure hand valve of the manifold gauge. •
••
•
Check to ensure that the degree of pressure does not
change.
5) Check the refrigerant leaks by using a HFC-134a leak detector. •
••
•
If a leak occurs, repair the leak connection, and start all
over again from the first step of evacuation.
6) If no leaks are found, open the low-pressure hand valve of the manifold gauge. Then continue charging refrigerant to
the system. •
••
•
W hen charging the system becomes difficult:
(1) Run the engine at Idling and close the all vehicle doors.
(2) A/C switch is "ON".
(3) Set the fan control knob (fan switch) to its highest position.
(4) Set air source selector lever to “RECIRC”
WARNING
BE ABSOLUTELY SURE NOT TO OPEN THE HIGH-
PRESSURE HAND VALVE. SHOULD THE HIGH-
PRESSURE HAND VALVE BE OPENED, THE HIGH-
PRESSURE REFRIGERANT GAS WOULD FLOW
BACKWARD, AND THIS MAY CAUSE THE REFRIGERANT
CONTAINER TO BURST.
7) W hen the refrigerant container is emptied, use the following procedure to replace it with a new refrigerant container.
(1) Close the low-pressure hand valve.
(2) Raise the needle upward and remove the charge valve.
(3) Reinstall the charge valve to the new refrigerant container.
(4) Purge any air existing in the center hose of the manifold gauge.

8) Charge the system to the specified amount and then close the low-pressure hand valve.

9) Check for refrigerant leaks by using a HFC-134a leak detector.
• A fully charged system is indicated by the sight glass on
the receiver/drier being free of any bubbles (Refer to
"Reading Sight Glass").
• Check the high and low pressure value of the manifold
gauge. (Refer to “CHECKING REFRIGERANT SYSTEM
W ITH MAINFOLD GAUGE” in SERVICE
INFORMATION.)
Immediately after charging refrigerant, both high and low
pressures are slightly high and to the left of the gauge, but they
settle down to the guide pressure valves as shown below:
• Ambient temperature; 30 ∼35 °C (86 ∼95 °F)
• Guide pressure
High-pressure side;
Approx. 1373 ∼1670 kPa (14 ∼17 kg/cm
2 / 199 ∼242 psi)
Low-pressure side;
Approx. 127 ∼245 kPa (1.3 ∼2.5 kg/cm
2 / 18 ∼36 psi)
10) Close the low pressure hand valve and charge valve of the refrigerant container.
11) Stop the air conditioning and the engine.
12) Disconnect the high and low pressure hoses from the manifold gauge fittings.
