INSUFFICIENT COOLING
Whenever system’s high and/or low side pressure(s) is/are unusual, diagnose using a manifold gauge. The
marker above the gauge scale in the following tables indicates the standard (usual) pressure range. Since the
standard (usual) pressure, however, differs from vehicle to vehicle, refer to above table (Ambient air tempera-
ture-to-operating pressure table).
Both High- and Low-pressure Sides are Too High
High-pressure Side is Too High and Low-pressure Side is Too Low
High-pressure Side is Too Low and Low-pressure Side is Too High
Gauge indication Refrigerant cycle Probable cause Corrective action
Both high- and low-pressure
sides are too high.Pressure is reduced soon af-
ter water is splashed on con-
denser.Excessive refrigerant charge in refrig-
eration cycle.Reduce refrigerant until
specified pressure is ob-
tained.
Air suction by cooling fan is in-
sufficient.Insufficient condenser cooling perfor-
mance.
↓
1. Condenser fins are clogged.
2. Improper fan rotation of cooling
fan. Clean condenser.
 Check and repair cooling
fan if necessary.
 Low-pressure pipe is not
cold.
 When compressor is
stopped high-pressure val-
ue quickly drops by approx-
imately 196 kPa (1.96 bar, 2
kg/cm
2, 28 psi). It then de-
creases gradually thereaf-
ter.Poor heat exchange in condenser
(After compressor operation stops,
high-pressure decreases too slowly.).

Air in refrigeration cycle.Evacuate repeatedly and
recharge system.
Engine tends to overheat. Engine cooling systems malfunction.Check and repair each en-
gine cooling system.

pipe is colder than areas
near the evaporator outlet.
 Plates are sometimes cov-
ered with frost. Excessive liquid refrigerant on low-
pressure side.
 Excessive refrigerant discharge
flow.

Improper expansion valve adjust-
ment.Replace expansion valve.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL
NOTE:
Before starting engine, put vehicle horizontally and check the engine oil level. If engine is already started, stop
it and allow 10 minutes before checking.
1. Pull out oil level gauge and wipe it clean.
2. Insert oil level gauge and make sure the engine oil level is within
the range (A) shown in the figure.
3. If it is out of range, adjust it.
ENGINE OIL APPEARANCE
 Check engine oil for white turbidity or heavy contamination.
 If engine oil becomes turbid and white, it is highly probable that it is contaminated with engine coolant.
Repair or replace damaged parts.
ENGINE OIL LEAKAGE
Check for engine oil leakage around the following area.
 Oil pan (upper and lower)
 Oil pan drain plug
 Oil pressure switch
 Oil level sensor
 Oil filter
 Intake valve timing control solenoid valve
 Front cover
 Mating surface between cylinder head and camshaft bracket
 Mating surface between cylinder block and cylinder head
 Mating surface between cylinder head and rocker cover
 Crankshaft oil seals (front and rear)
 Oil filter (for intake valve timing control)
OIL PRESSURE CHECK
WARNING:
 Be careful not to get burned, as engine oil may be hot.
 When checking engine oil pressure, shift position should be “Neutral”, and apply parking brake
securely.
1. Check engine oil level. Refer to LU-6, "
Inspection".
