AB"EVAPORATOR REMOVAL

1. When removing the evaporator, cut and fold back the
dashboard pad as in the diagram. (The thickness of the
pad interferes with the removal of the evaporator.)
2. Remove the evaporator.
Caution:
Do not cut the upper side of the pad.
INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS
"AAEVAPORATOR INSTALLATION
After installing the evaporator, glue the cut dashboard panel
pad with an adhesive agent.
INSPECTION
Air thermo sensor inspection
Measure the resistance between connector terminals 4 and
5 under at least two different temperatures. The resistance
values should generally match those in the graph.
NOTE
The temperature at the check should not exceed the range
in the graph.

Caution
As the compressor oil and receiver are highly moisture
absorbent, use a non-porous material to plug the hose
and nipples.

AB"DRIVE BELT REMOVAL
Due to the adoption of the Serpentine drive system with the
automatic tensioner, the following operation is required for
removing the drive belt:
1. Insert the 12.7sq. spinner handle into the tool hole of
the automatic tensioner and rotate it counterclockwise
until the automatic tensioner reaches to the stopper.
2. Align hole A with hole B for fixing by inserting the
L - shaped hexagon wrench, then remove the drive
belt.
Caution
When the drive belt is reused, use a chalk to indicate
an arrow of rotation direction on the back of the belt
so that it can be re - assembled in the same direction
as before.
AC"COMPRESSOR REMOVAL
Take care not to spill any compressor oil when removing
the compressor.
INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS
"AACOMPRESSOR INSTALLATION
When installing a new compressor, first adjust the oil level
as follows.
1. Measure the oil in the compressor you removed.
(X cm
3)
2. Drain the amount of oil calculated by the following formula
from the new compressor. Now install the compressor.
130 cm
3–Xcm3=Ycm3
NOTE
(1) 130 cm3indicates the amount of oil sealed in the
new compressor at the factory.
(2) Y cm
3indicates the amount of oil in the refrigerant
line, compressor, and cooling unit.
INSPECTION
Compressor Magnetic Clutch Operation Check
Connect the compressor connector terminal to the battery
positive (+) terminal and ground the battery’s negative ( - )
terminal to the compressor unit. At that time, the magnetic
clutch should make a definite operating sound.
