< PRECAUTION >
PRECAUTIONS
Ventilate work area before resuming service if accidental system discharge occurs. Additional health
and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.
Never release refrigerant into the air. Use approved recovery/recycling equipment to capture the
refrigerant each time an air conditioning system is discharged.
Wear always eye and hand protection (goggles and gloves) when working with any refrigerant or air
conditioning system.
Never store or heat refrigerant containers above 52°C (126°F).
Never heat a refrigerant container with an open flame; Place the bottom of the container in a warm
pail of water if container warming is required.
Never intentionally drop, puncture, or incinerate refrigerant containers.
Keep refrigerant away from open flames: poisonous gas is produced if refrigerant burns.
Refrigerant displaces oxygen, therefore be certain to work in well ventilated areas to prevent suffo-
cation.
Never pressure test or leakage test HFC-134a (R-134a) service equipment and/or vehicle air condi-
tioning systems with compressed air during repair. Some mixtures of air and HFC-134a (R-134a)
have been shown to be combustible at elevated pressures. These mixtures, if ignited, may cause
injury or property damage. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refriger-
ant manufacturers.
Refrigerant ConnectionINFOID:0000000003799207
A new type refrigerant connection has been introduced to all refrigerant lines except the following locations.
Expansion valve to evaporator
Refrigerant pressure sensor to liquid tank
O-RING AND REFRIGERANT CONNECTION
CAUTION:
The new and former refrigerant connections use different O-ring configurations. Never confuse O-
rings since they are not interchangeable. Refrigerant may leak at the connection if a wrong O-ring is
installed.

Be certain that the gauge face indicates HFC-134a or R-134a. Be
sure the gauge set has 1/2″-16 ACME threaded connections for ser-
vice hoses. Confirm the set has been used only with refrigerant
HFC-134a (R-134a) and specified lubricants.
SERVICE HOSES
Be certain that the service hoses display the markings described
(colored hose with black stripe). All hoses must equip positive shut-
off devices (either manual or automatic) near the end of the hoses
opposite to the manifold gauge.
SERVICE COUPLERS
Never attempt to connect HFC-134a (R-134a) service couplers to a
CFC-12 (R-12) A/C system. The HFC-134a (R-134a) couplers do
not properly connect to the CFC-12 (R-12) system. However, if an
improper connection is attempted, discharging and contamination
may occur.
REFRIGERANT WEIGHT SCALE
Verify that no refrigerant other than HFC-134a (R-134a) and speci-
fied lubricants have been used with the scale. The hose fitting must
be 1/2″-16 ACME if the scale controls refrigerant flow electronically.
CALIBRATING ACR4 WEIGHT SCALE
Calibrate the scale each three month.
To calibrate the weight scale on the ACR4:
1. Press “Shift/Reset” and “Enter” at the same time.
2. Press “8787”. “A1” is displayed.
3. Remove all weight from the scale.
4. Press “0”, then press “Enter”. “0.00” is displayed and change to “A2”.

P Starting Air Flow Control
When starting the automatic control of air flow, the system gradually increases the duty ratio of the blower
motor drive signal to prevent too much air from blowing.
The time period from when the air flow changes from LO to HI is approximately 8 seconds.
It becomes the starting air flow control at low coolant temperature according to the calculation result of the A/
C auto amp. and engine coolant temperature [approximately 56°C (133°F) or less] during the automatic air
flow control.
Do not perform the starting air flow control when the air discharge outlet is set to DEF.
Starting Fan Speed Control
Start up from COLD SOAK Condition (Automatic mode)
In cold start up condition where the engine coolant temperature is below 56°C (133°F), the blower does not
operate for a short period of time (up to 150 seconds). The exact start delay time varies depending on the
ambient temperature and engine coolant temperature.
In the most extreme case (very low ambient temperature) the blower start delay is 150 seconds as described
above. After this delay, the blower will operate at low speed until the engine coolant temperature rises above
56°C (133°F), and then the blower speed increases to the objective speed.
Start up from usual or HOT SOAK Condition (Automatic mode)
The blower will begin operation momentarily after the AUTO switch is pressed. The blower speed rises gradu-
ally to the objective speed over a time period of 3 seconds or less (actual time depends on the objective
blower speed).

B2630, B2631 SUNLOAD SENSOR
DescriptionINFOID:0000000003846340
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Sunload Sensor
The sunload sensor (1) is located on the driver’s side speaker
grille.
It detects sunload entering through windshield by means of a
photo diode. The sensor converts the sunload into a current value
which is then input into the A/C auto amp.
Sunload Sensor Circuit
SUNLOAD INPUT PROCESS
The A/C auto amp. also equips a processing circuit which averages the variations in detected sunload over a
period of time. This prevents drastic swings in the air temperature control system operation due to small or
quick variations in detected sunload.
For example, consider driving along a road bordered by an occasional group of large trees. The sunload
detected by the sunload sensor varies whenever the trees obstruct the sunlight. The processing circuit aver-
ages the detected sunload over a period of time, so that the (insignificant) effect of the trees momentarily
obstructing the sunlight does not cause any change in the air temperature control system operation. On the
other hand, shortly after entering a long tunnel, the system recognizes the change in sunload, and the system
reacts accordingly.

NOTE:
If DTC is displayed along with DTC U1000 or U1010, first diagnose the DTC U1000 or U1010. Refer to HAC-

Sunload sensor may register a malfunction when indoors, at dusk, or at other times when light is insufficient.
When performing the diagnosis indoors, light the sunload sensor with a lamp (60 W or more).
