 O-rings are different from low-pressure pipe 1 (high-pressure pipe 2) and low-pressure pipe 2 (high-
pressure pipe 3).
 Mark the mounting position of intake sensor bracket prior to removal so that the reinstalled sensor
can be located in the same position.
 When recharging refrigerant, check for leaks.

REMOVAL
1. Remove evaporator. Refer to ATC-137, "Removal and Installation of Evaporator".
2. Remove mounting bolts, and then remove expansion valve. CAUTION:
Cap or wrap the joint of evaporator with suitable material
such as vinyl tape to avoid the entry of air.
INSTALLATION
Installation is basically the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
 Replace O-rings of evaporator with new ones, and then apply compressor oil to it when installing it.
 O-rings are different from low-pressure pipe 1 (h igh-pressure pipe 2) and low-pressure pipe 2 (high-
pressure pipe 3).
 When recharging refrigerant, check for leaks.
Checking of Refrigerant LeaksINFOID:0000000001328231
Perform a visual inspection of all refrigeration parts, fittings, hoses and components for signs of A/C lubricant
leakage, damage and corrosion. A/C lubricant leakage ma y indicate an area of refrigerant leakage. Allow
extra inspection time in these areas when using either an electrical leak detector or fluorescent dye leak
detector (SST: J-42220).
If dye is observed, c onfirm the leak with an electrical leak detector. It is possible a prior leak was repaired and
not properly cleaned.
When searching for leaks, do not stop when one leak is found but continue to check for additional leaks at all
system components and connections.
When searching for refrigerant leaks using an electric al leak detector, move the probe along the suspected
leak area at 1 to 2 inches per second and no further than 1/4 inch from the component.
CAUTION:
Moving the electrical leak detector probe slower and closer to the suspected leak area will improve the
chances of finding a leak.
Checking System for Leaks Using the Fluore scent Leak DetectorINFOID:0000000001328232
1. Check A/C system for leaks using the UV lamp and safety goggles (SST: J-42220) in a low sunlight area
(area without windows preferable). Illuminate all co mponents, fittings and lines. The dye will appear as a
bright green/yellow area at the point of leakage. Fluorescent dye observed at the evaporator drain open-
ing indicates an evaporator core assembly (tubes, core or expansion valve) leak.
2. If the suspected area is difficult to see, use an adjustable mirror or wipe the area with a clean shop rag or
cloth, with the UV lamp for dye residue.
3. After the leak is repaired, remove any residual dye using dye cleaner (SST: J-43872) to prevent future
misdiagnosis. Low-pressure pipe 1 bracket mounting bolt

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.

6. Do not stop when one leak is found. Continue to check for additional leaks at all system components.
If no leaks are found, perform steps 7 - 10.
7. Start the engine.
8. Set the A/C control as follows;
a. A/C switch: ON
b. Mode door position: VENT (Ventilation)
c. Intake position: Recirculation
d. Temperature setting: Max. cold
e. Fan speed: High
9. Run engine at 1,500 rpm for at least 2 minutes.
10. Stop the engine and perform leak check again following steps 4 through 6 above.
Refrigerant leaks should be chec ked immediately after stopping
the engine. Begin with the leak detector at the compressor. The
pressure on the high-pressure side will gradually drop after
refrigerant circulation stops and pressure on the low-pressure
side will gradually rise, as shown in the graph. Some leaks are
more easily detected when pressure is high.
11. Before connecting recovery/recycling recharging equipm ent to vehicle, check recovery/recycling recharg-
ing equipment gauges. No refrigerant pressure should be displayed. If pressure is displayed, recover
refrigerant from equipment lines and then check refrigerant purity.
12. Confirm refrigerant purity in supply tank using recovery/recycling recharging equipment and refrigerant
identifier.
13. Confirm refrigerant purity in vehicle A/C system us ing recovery/recycling recharging equipment and refrig-
erant identifier.
14. Discharge A/C system using approved refrigerant recove ry equipment. Repair the leaking fitting or com-
ponent if necessary.
15. Evacuate and recharge A/C system and perform the l eak test to confirm no refrigerant leaks.
16. Perform A/C performance test to ensure system works properly.

FUEL PUMP
FUEL PUMP
DescriptionINFOID:0000000001326444
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
*: ECM determines the start signal status by the signals of engine speed and battery voltage.
The ECM activates the fuel pump for several seconds after the ignition switch is turned ON to improve engine
start ability. If the ECM receives a engine speed signal
from the camshaft position sensor (PHASE), it knows
that the engine is rotating, and causes the pump to operate. If the engine speed signal is not received when
the ignition switch is ON, the engine stalls. The EC M stops pump operation and prevents battery discharging,
thereby improving safety. The ECM does not directly driv e the fuel pump. It controls the ON/OFF fuel pump
relay, which in turn controls the fuel pump.
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
A turbine type design fuel pump is used in the fuel tank.
