LUBRICANT
Maintenance of Lubricant QuantityINFOID:0000000003795916
The lubricant in the compressor circulates through the system the refrigerant. Add lubricant to compressor
when replacing any component or after a large refrigerant leakage occurred. It is important to maintain the
specified amount.
If lubricant quantity is not maintained properly, the following malfunctions may result:
Lack of lubricant: May lead to a seized compressor.
Excessive lubricant: Inadequate cooling (thermal exchange interference)
LUBRICANT
LUBRICANT RETURN OPERATION
Adjust the lubricant quantity according to the test group shown below.
1.CHECK LUBRICANT RETURN OPERATION
Can lubricant return operation be performed?
A/C system works normally.
There is no evidence of a large amount of lubricant leakage.
CAUTION:
Never perform the lubricant return operation if excessive lubricant leakage is detected.
Is it successful?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> GO TO 3.
2.PERFORM LUBRICANT RETURN OPERATION
1. Start the engine, and set to the following conditions:
- Engine speed: Idling to 1,200 rpm
- A/C switch: ON
- Blower speed: Max. position
- Set temperature: FULL HOT
- Intake position: Recirculation (REC)
2. Perform lubricant return operation for approximately 10 minutes.
3. Stop the engine.
>> GO TO 3.
3.CHECK REPLACEMENT PART
Should the compressor be replaced?
YES >> Refer to HA-29, "Lubricant Adjusting Procedure for Compressor Replacement".
NO >> Refer to HA-28, "
Lubricant Adjusting Procedure for Components Replacement Except Compres-
sor".

FLUORESCENT LEAK DETECTOR
FLUORESCENT LEAK DETECTOR
InspectionINFOID:0000000003795981
CHECKING SYSTEM FOR LEAKAGES USING THE FLUORESCENT LEAK DETECTOR
1. Check A/C system for leakages using the UV lamp and safety goggles (SST: J-42220) in a low sunlight
area (area without windows preferable). Illuminate all components, fittings and lines. The dye appears 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) leakage.
2. Use an adjustable mirror or wipe the area with a clean shop rag or cloth, with the UV lamp for dye residue
if the suspected area is difficult to see.
3. Remove any residual dye using dye cleaner (SST: J-43872) to prevent future misdiagnosis after the leak-
age is repaired.
4. Perform a system performance check and verify the leakage repair with an approved electrical leak detec-
tor.
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 may also cause false readings
and may damage the detector.
DYE INJECTION
(This procedure is only necessary when recharging the 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 (3.45 bar, 3.52 kg/cm
2, 50
psi).
2. Pour one bottle (1/4 ounce / 7.4 cc) of the A/C refrigerant 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. Then switch A/C ON.
5. Inject one bottle (1/4 ounce / 7.4 cc) of fluorescent dye through the low-pressure service valve using dye
injector tool (SST: J-41459) (refer to the manufacture’s operating instructions) when the A/C operating
(compressor running).
6. Disconnect the injector tool from the service valve with the engine still running.
CAUTION:
Be careful when replacing the A/C system or a component, pour the dye directly into the open sys-
tem connection and proceed with 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
leakage size, operating conditions and location of the leakage, it may take from minutes to days for the
dye to penetrate a leakage and become visible.
8. Attach a blue label if necessary.

Precaution for Liquid GasketINFOID:0000000003793117
LIQUID GASKET APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1. Remove old liquid gasket adhering to the liquid gasket application surface and the mating surface.
• Remove liquid gasket completely from the liquid gasket application surface, mounting bolts, and bolt
holes.
2. Wipe the liquid gasket application surface and the mating surface with white gasoline (lighting and heating
use) to remove adhering moisture, grease and foreign materials.
3. Apply liquid gasket to the liquid gasket application surface.
Use Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent.
Within 5 minutes of liquid gasket application, install the mating component.
If liquid gasket protrudes, wipe it off immediately.
Never retighten mounting bolts or nuts after the installation.
After 30 minutes or more have passed from the installation, fill engine oil and engine coolant.

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 check the engine oil level is within the
range 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 areas:
Oil pans (lower and upper)
Oil pan drain plug
Oil pressure switch
Oil filter
Water pump cover
Oil cooler
Valve timing control covers (bank 1 and bank 2)
Mating surface between cylinder head and rocker cover
Mating surface between front timing chain case and rear timing chain case
Mating surface between rear timing chain case and cylinder head
Mating surface between rear timing chain case and cylinder block
Mating surface between rear timing chain case and oil pan (upper)
Mating surface between cylinder block and cylinder head
Crankshaft oil seals (front and rear)
Camshaft position sensor (PHASE)
OIL PRESSURE CHECK
WARNING:
• Be careful not to get burn yourself, as engine oil may be hot.
Oil pressure check should be done in “Parking position”.
1. Check the engine oil level. Refer to LU-7, "
Inspection".
2. Remove splash guard (RH). Refer to EXT-22, "
FENDER PROTECTOR : Exploded View".
