OK:
Vacuum can be maintained in the A/C system.
HINT:
If vacuum cannot be maintained in the A/C system,
refrigerant may be leaking from it. In this case, it is
necessary to repair or replace the leaking part of the A/C
system.

AC
NOTICE:
If refrigerant pressure on the high pressure side
becomes high, the DTC will be set. It is necessary to
measure the voltage for a certain amount of time
(approximately 10 minutes) because the DTC may be
set after the A/C operates for a while.
HINT:
When the outside air temperature is low (below -1.5
C
(29.3
F)), the compressor stops due to operation of the
ambient temperature sensor and the evaporator
temperature sensor to prevent the evaporator from
freezing. In this case, perform the inspection in a warm
indoor environment.
Result
NOTICE:
If the DTC was set due to an insufficient or excessive
amount of refrigerant, the problem may have been
solved after performing the previous step. However,
the root cause of insufficient refrigerant may be
refrigerant leaks. The root cause of excessive
refrigerant may be adding refrigerant when the level
was insufficient. Therefore, identify and repair the
area where refrigerant leaks from as necessary.

DESCRIPTION
The solar sensor, which is installed on the upper side of the instrument panel, detects sunlight and
controls the air conditioning in AUTO mode. The output voltage from the solar sensor varies according to
the amount of sunlight. When the sunlight increases, the output voltage increases. As the sunlight
decreases, the output voltage decreases. The A/C amplifier detects output voltage from the solar sensor.

AIR CONDITIONING – AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM (for Automatic Air Conditioning Sys-
tem)AC–29
AC
DESCRIPTION
The ambient temperature sensor is installed in front of the condenser to detect the ambient temperature
which is used to control the air conditioner "AUTO" mode. This sensor is connected to the A/C amplifier
and detects fluctuations in the ambient temperature. This data is used for controlling the cabin
temperature. The sensor sends a signal to the A/C amplifier. The resistance of the ambient temperature
sensor changes in accordance with the ambient temperature. As the temperature decreases, the
resistance increases. As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases.
The A/C amplifier applies voltage (5 V) to the ambient temperature sensor and reads voltage changes as
the resistance of the ambient temperature sensor changes.

AIR CONDITIONING – AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM (for Automatic Air Conditioning Sys-
tem)AC–33
AC
DESCRIPTION
The evaporator temperature sensor (A/C thermistor) is installed on the evaporator in the air conditioning
unit. It detects the temperature of the cooled air that has passed through the evaporator and its signal is
used to control the air conditioning. It sends a signal to the A/C amplifier. The resistance of the evaporator
temperature sensor (A/C thermistor) changes in accordance with the temperature of the cooled air that
has passed through the evaporator. As the temperature decreases, the resistance increases. As the
temperature increases, the resistance decreases.
The A/C amplifier applies voltage (5 V) to the evaporator temperature sensor (A/C thermistor) and reads
voltage changes as the resistance of the evaporator temperature sensor (A/C thermistor) changes. This
sensor is used to prevent the evaporator from freezing.
