Be certain that the service hoses display the markings described
(colored hose with black stripe). All hoses must include positive shut-
off devices (either manual or aut omatic) near the end of the hoses
opposite the manifold gauge.
SERVICE COUPLERS
Do not attempt to connect HFC-134a (R-134a) service couplers to a
CFC-12 (R-12) A/C system. T he HFC-134a (R-134a) couplers will
not properly connect to the CFC-12 (R-12) system. However, if an
improper connection is attempted, discharging and contamination
may occur.

< SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS >[AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONER]
INSUFFICIENT COOLING
INSUFFICIENT COOLING
DescriptionINFOID:0000000009463167
Symptom
• Insufficient cooling
• No cool air comes out. (Air flow volume is normal.)
Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000009463168
NOTE:
Perform self-diagnoses with CONSULT before performi ng symptom diagnosis. If any DTC is detected, per-
form the corresponding diagnosis.
1.CHECK MAGNET CLUTCH OPERATION
1. Turn ignition switch ON.
2. Operate fan switch.
3. Press A/C switch.
4. Check that A/C indicator turns ON. Check visually and by sound that compressor operates.
5. Press A/C switch again.
6. Check that A/C indicator turns OFF. Check that compressor stops.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> Perform diagnosis of “COMPRESSOR DOES NOT OPERATE” in “SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS”.
Refer to HAC-99, "Diagnosis Procedure"
.
2.CHECK DRIVE BELT
Check tension of drive belt. Refer to EM-19, "Checking Drive Belts"
(QR25DE) or EM-134, "Checking Drive
Belts" (VQ35DE).
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 3.
NO >> Adjust or replace drive belt depending on the inspection results.
3.CHECK REFRIGERANT CYCLE
Connect recovery/recycling recharging equipment to the vehicle and perform pressure inspection with gauge.
Refer to HA-18, "Symptom Table"
.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 4.
NO >> Repair or replace parts depending on the inspection results.
4.CHECK AIR LEAKAGE FROM EACH DUCT
Check duct and nozzle, etc. of the fr ont air conditioning system for leakage.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 5.
NO >> Repair or replace parts depending on the inspection results.
5.CHECK AMBIENT TEMPERATURE DISPLAY
Check that there is not much difference between act ual ambient temperature and indicated temperature on
information display in combination meter.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 6.
NO >> Perform diagnosis for the A/C auto amp. connection recognition signal circuit. Refer to HAC-60,
"Diagnosis Procedure".
6.CHECK SETTING OF TEMPERATURE SETTING TRIMMER (FRONT)
1. Check setting value of temperature setting trimmer (front). Refer to HAC-50, "Temperature Setting Trim-
mer".
2. Check that temperature setting trimme r (front) is set to “+ direction”.
