TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Testing must be performed as follows:
TEST READING
Recirculating-to-discharge Air Temperature Table
Ambient Air Temperature-to-operating Pressure Table
*1: With blower control dial in the "1" position
*2: With blower control dial in the "4" position.
TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FOR ABNORMAL PRESSURE
Whenever system’s high and/or low side pressure(s) is/are abnormal, diagnose using a manifold gauge. The
marker above the gauge scale in the following tables indicates the standard (usual) pressure range. Since the
standard (usual) pressure, however, differs from vehicle to vehicle, refer to above table (Ambient air tempera-
ture-to-operating pressure table).
Vehicle condition Indoors or in the shade (in a well-ventilated place)
Doors Closed
Door window Open
Hood Open
TEMP. Max. COLD
Mode control dial (Ventilation) set
Intake door lever (Recirculation) set
Blower speed Max. speed set

Gauge indication Refrigerant cycleProbable causeCorrective action
Low-pressure side becomes nega-
tive. Liquid tank or front/rear side of
expansion valve’s pipe is frost-
ed or dewed.High-pressure side is closed
and refrigerant does not flow.
↓
Expansion valve or liquid tank
is frosted.Leave the system at rest until
no frost is present. Start it
again to check whether or not
the malfunction is caused by
water or foreign particles.
• If water is the cause, initially
cooling is okay. Then the wa-
ter freezes causing a block-
age. Drain water from
refrigerant or replace refrig-
erant.
• If due to foreign particles, re-
move expansion valve and
remove the particles with dry
and compressed air (not
shop air).
• If either of the above meth- ods cannot correct the mal-
function, replace expansion
valve.
• Replace liquid tank.
• Check oil for contamination.
