TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FOR UNUSUAL PRESSURE
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-

difference between liquid
tank outlet and inlet. Outlet
temperature is extremely
low.
 Liquid tank inlet and expan-
sion valve are frosted. Liquid tank inside is slightly
clogged.
 Replace liquid tank.

valve itself is frosted. Expansion valve closes a little
compared with the specifica-
tion.

valve adjustment.
2. Malfunctioning expansion
valve.
3. Outlet and inlet may be clogged.  Remove foreign particles by
using compressed air.

the evaporator outlet. Low-pressure pipe is clogged
or crushed.  Check and repair malfunc-
tioning parts.

 The system constantly func- tions for a certain period of
time after compressor is
stopped and restarted. Refrigerant does not discharge
cyclically.

4. Perform a system performance check and verify the l eak repair with an approved electrical leak detector.
NOTE:
Other gases in the work area or substances on the A/C components, for example, anti-freeze, windshield
washer fluid, solvents and lubricants, may falsely trigger the leak detector. Make sure the surfaces to be
checked are clean.
Clean with a dry cloth or blow off with shop air.
Do not allow the sensor tip of the detector to contact with any substance. This can also cause false readings
and may damage the detector.
Dye InjectionINFOID:0000000001328233
(This procedure is only necessary when recharging t he system or when the compressor has seized and was
replaced.)
1. Check A/C system static (at rest) pressure. Pressure must be at least 345 kPa (3.52 kg/cm
2, 50 psi).
2. Pour one bottle (1/4 ounce / 7.4 cc) of the A/C refr igerant dye into the injector tool (SST: J-41459).
3. Connect the injector tool to the A/C low-pressure side service valve.
4. Start the engine and switch A/C ON.
5. When the A/C operating (compressor running), inject one bottle (1/4 ounce / 7.4 cc) of fluorescent dye
through the low-pressure service valve using dye inje ctor tool (SST: J-41459) (refer to the manufacture’s
operating instructions).
6. With the engine still running, disconnect the injector tool from the service valve. CAUTION:
Be careful the A/C system or replacing a componen t, pour the dye directly into the open system
connection and proceed wi th the service procedures.
7. Operate the A/C system for a minimum of 20 minutes to mix the dye with the system oil. Depending on the
leak size, operating conditions and location of the leak , it may take from minutes to days for the dye to
penetrate a leak and become visible.
8. Attach a blue label as necessary.
Electrical Leak DetectorINFOID:0000000001328234
PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING LEAK DETECTOR
When performing a refrigerant leak check, use an A/C electrical leak
detector (SST) or equivalent. Ensure that the instrument is calibrated
and set properly per the operating instructions.
The leak detector is a delicate device. In order to use the leak detec-
tor properly, read the operating instructions and perform any speci-
fied maintenance.
1. Position probe approximately 5 mm (3/16 in) away from point to
be checked.

Locking CD Auto-Changer MechanismINFOID:0000000001328690
CAUTION:
 Prior to removing a malfunctioning CD auto-changer unit that will be shipped for repair, the changer mechanism MUST BE LOCKED to prevent the mech anism from being damaged during shipping.
 If a CD is jammed or unable to be removed from th e unit, do NOT lock the changer mechanism. If the
unit is to be shipped for repair, carefully package the unit to prevent vibration and shock.
DAMPER LOCK PROCEDURE
1. Eject and remove any CDs from the audio unit.
2. Turn ignition switch OFF. Wait until audio unit display is off and mechanism stops moving (mechanism
sound stops).
3. Press any one of the disc selection buttons once. When a display shows on the audio unit, press the
same disc selection button again within 5 seconds.
 The changer mechanism will lock itself within 10 seconds.
4. After mechanism stops moving (mechanism s ound stops), open the driver and passenger window, and
then disconnect negative battery cable.
NOTE:
After installing a new or remanufactured audio unit, switching the audio unit ON will automatically unlock the
mechanism. A special unlocking procedure is not required.
Removal and Installation of Audio UnitINFOID:0000000001328691
REMOVAL
1. Perform damper lock operation. Refer to AV-41, "Locking CD Auto-Changer Mechanism".
2. Remove cluster lid C. Refer to IP-10
.
3. Remove screws (6) with power tool, and remove audio unit with display and unified meter and A/C amp. from instrument panel.

 Display control unit draws a status of the audio and air conditioner, a TRIP screen, a FUEL ECONOMY screen, etc., and transmits the
image signals to the display screen.
 It receives operation signals of audio and air conditioner from A/C and AV switch, and transmits the operation signal of audio to the
audio unit via the communication line and transmits the operation
signal of air conditioner to the meter and A/C amp. via CAN com-
munication.
DISPLAY
 Images on the display include RGB image such as map screen.
 Display control unit controls images on the display.
A/C AND AV SWITCH
 A/C and AV switch, an integrated combination of audio and air con-ditioner switches, are adopted.
 Operation signal of audio is transmitted to the audio unit through
display control unit with the communication line. Operation signal
of air conditioner is transmitted to meter and A/C amp. through dis-
play control unit with CAN communication.
