NOTICE:
Connector should be disconnected when measured.
6. INSPECT WATER TEMPERATURE WARNINGLIGHT
(a) Disconnect the water temperature sensor connector.
(b) Turn the ignition ON, the water temperature warning light should go out.
(c) Ground the terminal B5 of the meter connector, the water temperature warning light should light up.
7. INSPECT OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT
(1) Disconnect the oil pressure sensor connector.
(2) Turn the ignition ON, the oil pressure warning light should go out.
(3) Short connector terminal to the ground with a wire, the oil pressure warning light should light up.
8. INSPECT OIL PRESSURE SENSOR
(1) Disconnect the connector from the oil pressure sensor .
(2) Inspect continuity between its terminal and ground.
Engine is stopped: Continuity
Engine runs: No continuity
9. INSPECT PARK BRAKE WARING LIGHT
(1) Disconnect the connector from the park brake switch.
(2) Turn the ignition ON, the park brake warning light should go out.

(1) Check the union joint and protecting tube for damage and the
terminal for distortion.
(2) Check the case for distortion.
6. Steering wheel, steering column and steering lower shaft component.
(1) Check the installation status of driver airbag assembly.
(2) Check the steering wheel for any abnormal noise and see if the
clearance is normal.
7. Check the wire harness joint (instrument panel wire harness).
8. Check and see if the wire harness is securely installed, if the joint is damaged and if the terminal is
distorted.NOTICE
1. Work must be started 60s after the negative (-) terminal cable is disconnected from battery. The
disconnected negative (-) terminal cable shall be protected with insulating tape for insulation.
2. Airbag assembly and clock spring shall not be removed or repaired. They shall be replaced if there is
any trouble.
3. Pay enough attention to airbag assembly and clock spring when using, avoiding dropping them onto the
ground or into water or oil. In addition, if there is any pitting, crack or distortion on them, replace with
new ones.
4. When an airbag is deployed, the deployed surface should face up. It should be kept on a flat surface
without any other items on it.
5. Don’t keep an airbag in a place where the temperature is higher than 93°C.
6. When an airbag is deployed, it shall be replaced with a new one; simultaneously, check the clock spring,
and replace it with a new one if found abnormal.
7. When deal with the deployed airbag, gloves and protective glasses are to be used.
8. When scrapping the undeployed airbag, it shall be discarded after being deployed.GeneratorBracketDriver Side Clock SpringTo HornTo Driver Module
313Section 7 A/C System Faults Check & TroubleshootingI. A/C System Faults CheckInspection shall be made to isolate the fault area and its cause when the fault of A/C system occurs, and then
specific service could be performed. Inspect the whole system before re-using A/C system after a long term
of storage.
First step is initial inspection by direct "see, listen and touch". Test the system with the leak detector if
necessary.
1. Check the Refrigeration System
Under the normal condition, the low pressure pipeline of the A/C refrigeration system takes on a status of lowtemperature and the high pressure pipeline takes on a status of high temperature, see Figure 16. Based onthis rule, you can arrive at the initial judgement about the fault area and its cause by touching the refrigeration
system pipeline and elements to feel the surface temperature with your hand.
1High pressure area: compressor outlet
condenser receiver/drier expansion valve
inlet, its temperature change trend is from warm
to hot. If the temperature change is not this trend,
but instead some part is extremely hot (e.g.
condenser surface), it indcates that the part is
faulty and the radiation is not good; if some part is
extremely cold (e.g. receiver/drier) or there is frost
(e.g. at expansion valve inlet), it indicates that the
part is faulty and the pipe may be blocked.
2Low pressure area: expansion valve outlet
evaporator compressor inlet, its temperature
change trend is from cool to cold, If the
temperature change is not this trend, it indcates that the part is faulty.
3Compressor: compressor inlet and outlet high & low side shall have apparent feel of temperature difference,
if there is no temperature difference, it indicates that there is leakage in the system and the refrigerant
has leaked.
2. Check the Leakage Area
1Observe all connecting areas of the refrigeration system or condenser surface for oil stain, if there is oil
stain, it indicates that the the refrigerant is leaking (refrigerant and freezing oil leak simultaneously,
refrigerant volatilize after leakage and leave the freezing oil remained to be oil stain).
2Apply the soap water to the connecting area, if soap bubble occurs, it indicates that there is leakage.
3Check with instrument, the common instrument is halogen leak detector. When using the halogen leak
detector for check, the key is the propane flame color depending on which the judgement is made. When
there is no leakage, the flame color remains unchanged, when there is a little leakage, the flame is
greenish, when there is large leakage, the flame is bluish or purple.CoolColdHotWarmExpension

314Have a focus inspection on the following area:
a. Each pipe union joint and valve connection.
b. All hose, especially near the pipe union.
c. Compressor shaft seal, front and rear cover, gasket, oil fill plug.
d. Area on the surface of the condenser and evaporator that is scratched, bruised or damaged.
e. Expansion valve inlet and outlet connection and temperature sensor element and the welding position.
3. Check the Refrigerant
Observing from the sight glass, you may understand the refrigerant status and analyze the possible faults:
4. Check Other Parts
