ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
REFRIGERANT LEVEL TEST THROUGH
PERFORMANCE TEST
1. Start the engine.
2. Turn on the A/C switch, and set the A/C control to MAX.
COOL.
3. Adjust the engine speed to 1,500 r/min.
4. Check the refrigerant level (bubble state) through the
sight glass.
ItemState
Insufficient refriger-
antMany bubbles are seen. If refrigerant
is extremely low, it appears white.
Sufficient or excess
refrigerantNo bubbles are seen
NOTE
1. If insufficient, replenish the refrigerant as follows.
a) Replenish until bubbles disappear from the sight
glass.
b) After the bubbles disappear from the sight glass,
replenish 100g of refrigerant.
2. If excessive, replenish the refrigerant as follows.
a) Drain the refrigerant until bubbles can be seen
through the sight glass.
b) Replenish until bubbles disappear from the sight
glass.
c) After the bubbles disappear from the sight glass,
replenish 100g of refrigerant.
MAGNETIC CLUTCH TEST
1. Disconnect the connector to the magnetic clutch.
2. Connect battery (+) voltage directly to the connector for
the magnetic clutch.
3. If the magnetic clutch is normal, there will be ”click”. If
the pulley and armature do not make contact (’click’),
there is a malfunction.
RECEIVER DRIER TEST
Operate the unit and check the piping temperature by touching
the receiver drier outlet and inlet.
If there is a difference in the temperatures, the receiver drier
is restricted.
Replace the receiver drier.

COMPRESSOR DRIVE BELT ADJUSTMENT
Refer to GROUP 11 - On-vehicle Service.
DUAL PRESSURE SWITCH CHECK
1. Remove the dual pressure switch connector and connect
the high/low pressure side terminals located on the
harness side as shown in the illustration.
2. Install a gauge manifold to the high
-pressure side service
valve of the refrigerant line. (Refer to 55-42.)
3. When the high/low pressure sides of the dual pressure
switch are at operation pressure (ON) and there is
continuity between the respective terminals, then the
condition is normal. If there is no continuity, replace the
switch.

CHARGING
1. With the handles turned back all the way (valve closed),
install the adaptor valve to the low-pressure side of the
gauge manifold.
2. Connect the charging hose (blue) to the adaptor valve.
3. Connect the quick joint (for low
-pressure) to the charging
hose (blue).
4. Connect the quick joint (for low
-pressure) to the low-
pressure service valve.
NOTE
The low-pressure service valve should be connected to
the suction hose.
Caution
(1) Use tools that are suited to R134a.
(2) To install the quick joint, press section “A” firmly
against the service valve until a click is heard.
When connecting, run your hand along the hose
while pressing to ensure that there are no bends
in the hose.
5. Close the high and low
-pressure valves of the gauge
manifold.
6. Install the vacuum pump adaptor to the vacuum pump.
7. Connect the vacuum pump plug to the vacuum pump
adaptor.
8. Connect the charging hose (yellow) to the R-134a
connection port of the vacuum pump adaptor.
9. Tighten the adaptor valve handle (valve open).
10. Open the low
-pressure valve of the gauge manifold.
11. Turn the power switch of the vacuum pump to the ON
position.
NOTE
Even if the vacuum pump power switch is turned ON,
the vacuum pump will not operate because of the power
supply connection in step (7).

12. Turn the vacuum pump adaptor switch to the R134a side
to start the vacuum pump.
Caution
Do not operate the compressor for evacuation.
13. Evacuate to a vacuum reading of 100 kPa or higher (takes
approx. 10 minutes).
14. Turn the vacuum pump adaptor switch OFF and allow
to stand it for 5 minutes.
Caution
Do not operate the compressor in the vacuum
condition; damage may occur.
15. Carry out a leak test. (Good if the negative pressure
does not drop.)
Caution
If the negative pressure drops, increase the tightness
of the connections, and then repeat the evacuation
procedure from step (12).
16. With the handle turned back all the way (valve open),
install the charging valve to the service can.
17. Turn the handle of the adaptor valve back all the way
(valve closed), remove it from the gauge manifold and
install the service can.
18. Tighten the handle of the charging valve (valve closed)
to puncture the service can.
19. Turn the handle of the charging valve back (valve open)
and tighten the handle of the adaptor valve (valve open) to
charge the system with refrigerant.
Caution
If the service can is inverted, liquid refrigerant may
be drawn into the compressor damaging it by liquid
compression. Keep the service can upright to ensure
that refrigerant is charged in gas state.
20. If the refrigerant is not drawn in, turn the handle of the
adaptor valve back all the way (valve closed).
21. Check for gas leaks using a leak detector.
If a gas leak is detected, re-tighten the connections, and
then repeat the charging procedure from evacuation in
step (12).
Caution
The leak detector for R-134a should be used.
22. Start the engine.
23. Operate the A/C and set to the lowest temperature (MAX.
COOL).
