5) Warm up engine to the normal operating temperature and keep it at the specified idle speed.
6) Turn A/C switch ON, set blower speed selector at maximum speed position, temperature selector at
maximum cold position, airflow selector at face
position, and air intake switch at recirculation
position. (Confirm that A/C compressor and
condenser fans are working.)
7) Wait for ten minutes to stabilize the A/C operation.
8) Open front windows, front doors and engine hood.
9) With about 20 mm (0.8 in.) of dry bulb thermometer

it is within shaded range of graph. If each gauge
reading is out of specified pressure, correct defective
part referring to the following table.
NOTE
Pressure registered on gauge varies with
ambient temperature. Therefore, use the
graphs when determining if pressures are
normal or not.

Low side and high side pressure example,
Gauges should read as follows when ambient
temperature is 30 °C (86 °F)
Pressure on high pressure gauge (HI): 1590 –
1940 kPa (15.9 – 19.4 kg/cm2)

11) Check inlet port temperature-to-outlet port temperature relationship using the graph. For example, if temperature
near air inlet of HVAC unit is 30 °C (86 °F) and the one at air outlet of center ventilation louver is 17 °C (62.6 °F),
their crossing point is within acceptable range as shown in the graph. In this case, cooling performance is
satisfactory and proper.

When replacing other parts
Replenish the following amount of oil to compressor.
Amount of compressor oil to be replenished
Evaporator: 25 cm3 (25 ml, 0.85 US. oz, 0.88 Imp. oz)
Condenser: 15 cm3 (15 ml, 0.51 US. oz, 0.53 Imp. oz)

Pipes: 10 cm3 (10 ml, 0.34 US. oz, 0.35 Imp. oz) each
Evacuation
CAUTION!
Do not evacuate before recovering
refrigerant in A/C system.

NOTE
Once air conditioning system circuit is
opened (exposed) to atmospheric air, system
must be evacuated by using a vacuum pump.
The A/C system should be attached with a
manifold gauge set, and should be evacuated
for approximately 15 minutes.

1) Connect high charging hose (1) and low charging hose (2) of manifold gauge set (3) respectively as
follows:
High charging hose → High pressure charging valve
(4) on condenser outlet pipe
Low charging hose → Low pressure charging valve
(5) on suction pipe
2) Attach center charging hose (6) of manifold gauge set to vacuum pump (7).
3) Operate vacuum pump, and then open discharge
side valve (Hi) (8) of manifold gauge set.
If there is no blockage in the system, there will be an
indication on high pressure gauge (9).
In this case, open the other side valve (Lo) (10) of
the set and repair the system.
4) Approximately 10 minutes later, low pressure gauge (11) should show a vacuum lower than –100 kPa (–
1.0 kg/cm
2, –760 mmHg, –14.7 psi) providing no
leakage exists.
NOTE
• If the system does not show a vacuum below –100 kPa (–1.0 kg/cm
2, –760 mmHg,
–14.7 psi), close both valves, stop vacuum
pump and watch movement of low
pressure gauge.
• Increase in the gauge reading suggests existence of leakage. In this case, repair
the system before continuing its
evacuation.
• If the gauge shows a stable reading (suggesting no leakage), continue
evacuation.

5) Evacuation should be carried out for a total of at least 15 minutes.
6) Continue evacuation until low pressure gauge indicates a vacuum less than –100 kPa (–1.0 kg/cm
2,
–760 mmHg, –14.7 psi), and then close both valves.
7) Stop vacuum pump. Disconnect center charging hose from pump inlet. No w, the system is ready for
charging refrigerant.
Checking A/C System for Pressure Leaks
After completing the evacuation, close manifold gauge
high pressure valve and low pressure valve and wait 10
minutes. Verify that low pressure gauge reading has not
changed.
CAUTION!
If the gauge reading moves closer to “0”,
there is a leak somewhere. Inspect the tubing
connections and make necessary
corrections. And then, evacuate system once
again and make sure that there are no leaks.
