INSPECTION
Oil Specification
1. The HFC- 134a system requires synthetic (PAG) compressor oil whereas the R- 12 system requires mineral
compressor oil. The two oils must never be mixed.
2. Compressor (PAG) oil varies according to compressor model. Be sure to use oil specified for the model of
compressor.
Handling of Oil
1.The oil should be free from moisture, dust, metal powder, etc.
2. Do not mix with other oil.
3. The water content in the oil increases when exposed to the air. After use, seal oil from air immediately. (HFC - 134a
Compressor Oil absorbs moisture very easily.)
4. The compressor oil must be stored in steel containers, not in plastic containers.
Compressor oil check
The oil used to lubricate the compressor is circulating with the refrigerant.
Whenever replacing any component of the system or a large amount of gas leakage occurs, add oil to maintain the
original amount of oil.
Oil total volume in system:
120±10cc (4.05±0.34 fl.oz)
Oil Return Operation
There is close affinity between the oil and the refrigerant.
During normal operation, part of the oil recirculates with the refrigerant in the system. When checking the amount of
oil in the system, or replacing any component of the system, the compressor must be run in advance for oil return
operation. The procedure is as follows:
1. Open all the doors and the engine hood.
2. Start the engine and air conditioning switch to "ON" and set the blower motor control knob at its highest position.
3. Run the compressor for more than 20 minutes between 800 and 1,000 rpm in order to operate the system.
4. Stop the engine.
Replacement of Component Parts
When replacing the system component parts, supply the following amount of oil to the component parts to be installed.
Component parts to be installed Amount of Oil
Evaporator 50 cc (1.70 fl.oz)
Condenser 30 cc (1.02 fl.oz)
Receiver/dryer 30 cc (1.02 fl.oz)
Refrigerant line (One piece) 10 cc (0.34 fl.oz)
For compressor replacement, subtract the volume of oil drained from the removed compressor from the specified
volume, and drain the calculated volume of oil from the new compressor:
The specified volume - volume of removed compressor = volume to drain from the new compressor.
Even if no oil is drained from the removed compressor, don’t drain more than 50cc from new compressor.

INSPECTION
1.Check the condenser fins for clogging and damage. If clogged, clean them with water, and blow them with
compressed air. If bent, gently bend them using a screwdriver or pliers.
2. Check the condenser connections for leakage, and repair or replace it, if required.
REPLACEMENT
CONDENSER ASSEMBLY
1. Recover the refrigerant with a recovery/ recycling/ charging station (Refer to HA - 8).
2. Disconnect the negative ( - ) battery terminal.
3. Remove the radiator. (Refer to EM group)
4. Remove 2 bolts, and then remove the condenser (A) by lifting it up. Be careful not to damage the radiator and
condenser fins when removing the condenser.
5.Install in the reverse order of removal, and note these items :
a. If you're installing a new condenser, add refrigerant oil ND- OIL8.
b. Replace the O - rings with new ones at each fitting, and apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil before installing them.
Be sure to use the right O - rings for R- 134a to avoid leakage.
c. Be careful not to damage the radiator and condenser fins when installing the condenser.
d. Be sure to install the lower mount cushions of condenser securely into the holes.
e. Charge the system, and test its performance. (Refer to HA - 9)
DESICCANT
1.Remove the condenser, and then remove the bottom cap (B) with L wrench (A) from the condenser.
TORQUE: 20~25N.m (2.0~2.5kgf•m, 14.5~18.2lb - ft)

2.Remove the desiccant (A) from condenser using a long nose plier. Check for crumbled desiccant and clogged
bottom cap filter.
3.Apply air conditioning compressor oil along the O - rings and threads of the new bottom cap.
4. Insert the new desiccant into the receiver drier tank. The desiccant must be sealed in vacuum before it is exposed
to air for use.
5. Install the new bottom cap to the condenser.
a.Always replace the desiccant and bottom cap at the same time.
b. Replace the O - rings with new ones at each fitting, and apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil before installing
them. Be sure to use the right O - rings for R- 134a to avoid leakage.
c. Be careful not to damage the radiator and condenser fins when installing the condenser.
d. Be sure to install the lower mount cushions of condenser securely into the holes.
e. Charge the system, and test its performance. (Refer to HA - 10)

14.Remove the evaporator core(A).
15.Be careful that the inlet and outlet pipe are not bent during heater core removal, and pull out the heater core.
16. Install the heater core in the reverse order of removal.
17. Installation is the reverse order of removal, and note these items :
a. If you're installing a new evaporator, add refrigerant oil (ND - OIL8).
b. Replace the O - rings with new ones at each fitting, and apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil before installing
them. Be sure to use the right O - rings for R- 134a to avoid leakage.
c. Immediately after using the oil, replace the cap on the container, and seal it to avoid moisture absorption.
d. Do not spill the refrigerant oil on the vehicle ; it may damage the paint ; if the refrigerant oil contacts the paint,
wash it off immediately
e. Apply sealant to the grommets.
f. Make sure that there is no air leakage.
g. Charge the system and test its performance.
h. Do not interchange the inlet and outlet heater hoses and install the hose clamps securely.
i. Refill the cooling system with engine coolant.

Precautions
General Precautions
Please read the following precautions carefully before performing the airbag system service. Observe the instructions
described in this manual, or the airbags could accidentally deploy and cause damage or injuries. a. Except when performing electrical inspections, always turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the negative
cable from the battery, and wait at least three minutes before beginning work.
The contents in the memory are not erased even if the ignition switch is turned OFF or the battery cables are
disconnected from the battery.
b. Use the replacement parts which are manufactured to the same standards as the original parts and quality.
Do not install used SRS parts from another vehicle.
Use only new parts when making SRS repairs.
c. Carefully inspect any SRS part before you install it.
Do not install any part that shows signs of being dropped or improperly handled, such as dents, cracks or
deformation.
d.Before removing any of the SRS parts (including the disconnection of the connectors), always disconnect the SRS
connector.
Airbag Handling and Storage
Do not disassemble the airbags; it has no serviceable parts. Once an airbag has been deployed, it cannot be repaired
or reused.
For temporary storage of the air bag during service, please observe the following precautions.
a. Store the removed airbag with the pad surface up.
b. Keep free from any oil, grease, detergent, or water to prevent damage to the airbag assembly.

c.Store the removed airbag on secure, flat surface away from any high heat source (exceeding 85°C/185°F).
d. Never perform electrical inspections to the airbags, such as measuring resistance.
e. Do not position yourself in front of the airbag assembly during removal, inspection, or replacement.
f. Refer to the scrapping procedures for disposal of the damaged airbag.
g. Be careful not to bump or impact the SRS unit or the side impact sensors whenever the ignition switch is ON, wait
at least three minutes after the ignition switch is turned OFF before begin work.
h. During installation or replacement, be careful not to bump (by impact wrench, hammer, etc.) the area around the
SRS unit and the side impact sensor. The airbags could accidentally deploy and cause damage or injury.
i. After a collision in which the airbags were deployed, replace the front airbags and the SRS unit. After a collision in
which the side airbag was deployed, replace the side airbag, the front impact sensor and side impact sensor on
the side where the side airbag deployed and the SRS unit. After a collision in which the airbags or the side air
bags did not deploy, inspect for any damage or any deformation on the SRS unit and the side impact sensors. If
there is any damage, replace the SRS unit, the front impact sensor and/or the side impact sensors.
j. Do not disassemble the SRS unit, the front impact sensor or the side impact sensors
k. Turn the ignition switch OFF, disconnect the battery negative cable and wait at least three minutes before
beginning installation or replacement of the SRS unit.
l. Be sure the SRS unit, the front impact sensor and side impact sensors are installed securely with the mounting
bolts.
m. Do not spill water or oil on the SRS unit,or the front impact sensor or the side impact sensors and keep them
away from dust.
n. Store the SRS unit, the front impact sensor and the side impact sensors in a cool (less than 40°C/104°F) and dry
(less than 80% relative humidity, no moisture) area.
Wiring Precautions
