PRECAUTIONS
5. When the repair work is completed, return the ignition switch to the ″LOCK ″ position before connecting
the battery cables. (At this time, the steering lock mechanism will engage.)
6. Perform a self-diagnosis check of a ll control units using CONSULT-III.
Precaution for Procedure without Cowl Top CoverINFOID:0000000005396474
When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, cover
the lower end of windshield with urethane, etc.
Precaution for Working with HFC-134a (R-134a)INFOID:0000000005396475
WARNING:
• CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and HFC-134a (R-134a) re frigerant are not compatible. These refrigerants
must never be mixed, even in the smallest amounts. If the refrigerants are mixed a compressor mal-
function is likely to occur.
• Use only specified oil for the HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system and HFC-134a (R-134a) components. If
oil other than that specifi ed is used, compressor malf unction is likely to occur.
• The specified HFC-134a (R-134a) oi l rapidly absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. The following
handling precautions must be observed:
- When removing refrigerant components from a vehicle, immediately cap (seal) the component to
minimize the entry of moisture from the atmosphere.
- When installing refrigerant co mponents to a vehicle, do not remove the caps (unseal) until just
before connecting the components. Connect all refrigerant loop components as quickly as possible
to minimize the entry of moisture into system.
- Only use the specified oil from a sealed container. Immediately reseal containers of oil. Without proper sealing, oil will become moisture saturat ed and should not be used.
- Avoid breathing A/C refrigerant and oil vapor or mist. Exposure may irrita te eyes, nose and throat.
Use only approved recovery/recycling equipment to discharge HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant. If acci-
dental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming service. Additional health and
safety information may be obtained fr om refrigerant and oil manufacturers.
- Do not allow A/C oil to come in contact with styrofoam parts. Damage may result.
General Refrigerant PrecautionINFOID:0000000005396476
WARNING:
• Avoid breathing A/C refrigerant and oil vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and throat.
Use only approved recovery/recycling equipment to discharge HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant. If acci-
dental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming service. Additional health and
safety information may be obtained fr om refrigerant and oil manufacturers.
• Do not release refrigerant into th e air. Use approved recovery/recycling equipment to capture the
refrigerant every time an air conditioning system is discharged.
• Always wear eye and hand protection (goggles and gloves) when worki ng with any refrigerant or air
conditioning system.
• Do not store or heat refrigerant containers above 52 °C (126° F).
• Do not heat a refrigerant container with an open flame; if container warming is required, place the
bottom of the container in a warm pail of water.
• Do not intentionally drop, puncture, or incinerate refrigerant containers.
• Keep refrigerant away from open flames: poisonou s gas will be produced if refrigerant burns.
• Refrigerant will displace oxygen, therefore be certa in to work in well ventilated areas to prevent suf-
focation.
• Do not pressure test or leak test HFC-134a (R-134a) service equipment and/or vehicle air condition-
ing systems with compressed air during repair. Some mixtures of air and HFC-134a (R-134a) have

O-Ring Part Numbers and Specifications
CAUTION:
When replacing or cleaning refrigerant cycle components, observe the following.
• When the compressor is removed, store it in the sam e position as it is when installed on the vehicle.
Doing so will cause oil to en ter the low-pressure chamber.
• When connecting tubes, always use a to rque wrench and a back-up wrench.
• After disconnecting tubes, immediately plug all op enings to prevent entry of dirt and moisture.
• When installing an air conditione r in the vehicle, connect the pipes as the final stage of the opera-
tion. Do not remove the seal caps of pipes and other components until just before required for con-
nection.
• Allow components stored in cool areas to warm to working area temperature before removing seal
caps. This prevents condensation from forming inside A/C components.
• Thoroughly remove moisture from the refrigeration system before charging the refrigerant.
• Always replace used O-rings.
• When connecting tube, apply the speci fied A/C oil to circle of the O-rings. Be careful not to apply oil
to threaded portion. Refer to MTC-96, "
Oil".
• O-ring must be closely attached to dented portion of tube.
• When replacing the O-ring, be careful not to damage O-ring and tube.
• Connect tube until you hear it cl ick, then tighten the nut or bolt by hand until snug. Make sure that
the O-ring is installed to tube correctly.
• After connecting line, perform leak test and make sure that there is no leakage from connections.
When the refrigerant leaking point is found, disconnect that line and replace the O-ring. Then tighten
connections of seal seat to the specified torque.

PRECAUTIONS
•When the compressor is removed, store it in th e same position as it is when mounted on the car.
• When replacing or repairing compressor, follow “Maintenance of Oil Quantity in Compressor”
exactly. Refer to MTC-17, "
Maintenance of Oil Quantity in Compressor".
• Keep friction surfaces between clut ch and pulley clean. If the surface is contaminated, with oil, wipe
it off by using a clean waste cloth moistened with thinner.
• After compressor service operation, turn the compresso r shaft by hand more than five turns in both
directions. This will equally distribute oil inside the compressor. After the compressor is installed,
let the engine idle and operate the compressor for one hour.
• After replacing the compressor magnet clutch, ap ply voltage to the new one and check for usual
operation.
Precaution for Service EquipmentINFOID:0000000005396480
RECOVERY/RECYCLING EQUIPMENT
Be certain to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for machine operation and machine maintenance. Never
introduce any refrigerant other than that specified into the machine.
ELECTRONIC LEAK DETECTOR
Be certain to follow the manufacturer’s instruct ions for tester operation and tester maintenance.
VACUUM PUMP
The oil contained inside the vacuum pump is not compatible with the
specified oil for HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C systems. The vent side of
the vacuum pump is exposed to atmospheric pressure. So the vac-
uum pump oil may migrate out of the pump into the service hose.
This is possible when the pump is switched off after evacuation (vac-
uuming) and hose is connected to it.
To prevent this migration, use a manual valve placed near the hose-
to-pump connection, as follows.
• Usually vacuum pumps have a manual isolator valve as part of the pump. Close this valve to isolat e the service hose from the pump.
• For pumps without an isolator, use a hose equipped with a manual
shut-off valve near the pump end. Close the valve to isolate the
hose from the pump.
• If the hose has an automatic shut -off valve, disconnect the hose
from the pump. As long as the hose is connected, the valve is open
and lubricating oil may migrate.
Some one-way valves open when vacuum is applied and close
under a no vacuum condition. Such valves may restrict the pump’s
ability to pull a deep vacuum and are not recommended.
MANIFOLD GAUGE SET
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 oils.
