Precautions For Refrigerant System ServiceINFOID:0000000012431987
WORKING WITH HFC-134a (R-134a)
CAUTION:
• CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant are not compatible. Compressor mal-
function is likely to occur if the refrigerants are mixed, refe r to “CONTAMINATED REFRIGERANT”
below. To determine the purity of HFC-134a (R-134a) in the vehicle and recovery tank, use Refriger-
ant recovery/recycling recharging equi pment and Refrigerant Identifier.
• Use only specified oil for the HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system and HFC-134a (R-134a) components.
Compressor malfunction is likely to occur if oil other than that specified is used.
• The specified HFC-134a (R-134a) oi l rapidly absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. The following
handling precautions must be observed:
- Cap (seal) the component immediately to minimize the entry of moisture from the atmosphere when removing refrigerant components from a vehicle.
- Do not remove the caps (unseal) unti l just before connecting the components when installing refrig-
erant components to a vehicle. Connect all refr igerant loop components as quickly as possible to
minimize the entry of moisture into system.
- Use only the specified oil from a sealed container. Reseal containers of oil immediately. Oil becomes
moisture saturated and should no t be used without proper sealing.
- Do not allow oil to come in contact with styrene foam parts. Damage may result.
GENERAL REFRIGERANT PRECAUTION
WARNING:
• Do not breathe A/C refrigerant and oil vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and throat.
Remove HFC-134a (R-134a) from the A/C system, usin g certified service equipment meeting require-
ments of SAE J-2210 [HFC-134a (R-134a) recycling equipment] or J-2209 [HFC-134a (R-134a) recov-
ery equipment]. Ventilate work area before resumi ng service if accidental system discharge occurs.
Additional health and safety in formation may be obtained from refrigerant and oil manufacturers.
• Do not release refrigerant into the air. Use ap proved recovery/recycling recharging equipment to
capture the refrigerant each time an air conditioning system is discharged.
• Always wear eye and hand protection (goggles and gloves) when working with any refrigerant or air
conditioning system.
• Do not store or heat refrigerant containers above 52 °C (126° F).
• Do not heat a refrigerant containe r with an open flame; Place the bottom of the container in a warm
pail of water if container warming is required.
• Do not intentionally drop, puncture or incinerate refrigerant containers.
• Do not refrigerant away from op en flames; poisonous gas is produced if refrigerant burns.
• Refrigerant displaces oxygen; therefore be certain to work in well ventilated areas to prevent suffo- cation.
• 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
been shown to be combustible at elevated pressures. These mixtures, if ignited, may cause injury or
property damage. Additional heal th and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant manu-
facturers.

• Expansion valve to evaporator
• Refrigerant pressure sensor to liquid tank
WARNING:
Check that all refrigerant is discharged into the recycling equipment and the pressure in the system is
less than atmospheric pressure. Then gradually loo sen the discharge side hose fitting and remove it.
CAUTION:
Observe the following when replacing or cleaning refrigerant cycle components.
• Store it in the same way as it is when mounted on the vehicle when the compressor is removed. Fail- ure to do so will cause oil to enter the low-pressure chamber.
• Always use a torque wrench and a back-up wrench when connecting tubes.
• Immediately plug all openings to prevent entry of dust and moisture after disconnecting tubes.
• Connect the pipes at the final stag e of the operation when installing an air conditioner in the vehicle.
Do not remove the seal caps of pipes and other comp onents until just before required for connec-
tion.
• 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.
• Remove moisture thoroughly from the refriger ation system before charging the refrigerant.
• Do not reuse O-rings.
• Apply oil to circle of the O-rings shown in illust ration when connecting tube. Be careful not to apply
oil to threaded portion.
• O-ring must be closely attached to the groove portion of tube.
• Be careful not to damage O-ring and tube when replacing the O-ring.
• Connect tube until a click can be heard. Then tighten the nut or bolt by hand. Check that the O-ring is
installed to tube correctly.
• Perform leak test and make sure that there are no leaks from connections after connecting line. Dis-
connect that line and replace the O-ring when the refrigerant leaking point is found. Then tighten
connections of seal seat to the specified torque.
CONTAMINATED REFRIGERANT
Take appropriate steps shown below if a refrigerant other than pure HFC-134a (R-134a) is identified in
a vehicle:
• Explain to the customer that environmental regulations prohibit the release of contaminated refrigerant into
the atmosphere.
• Explain that recovery of the contaminated refri gerant could damage service equipment and refrigerant sup-
ply.
• Suggest the customer return the vehicle to the locati on of previous service where the contamination may
have occurred.
• In case of repairing, recover the refrigerant using only dedicated equipment and containers. Do not
recover contaminated refrigerant into the existing service equipment. Contact a local refrigerant prod-
uct retailer for available service if the facility does not have dedicated recovery equipment. This refrigerant
must be disposed of in accordance with all federal and local regulations. In addition, replacement of all
refrigerant system components on the vehicle is recommended.

CAUTION:
Be careful of the following items so that in accurate checks or misidentifications are avoided.
• Do not allow refrigerant vapor, shop chemical vapors, cigarette smoke or other contaminates around the vehicle.
• Always check refrigerant leaks in a low air flow en vironment so that refrigerant may not disperse.
1. Stop the engine.
2. Connect recovery/recycling/recharging equipment or manifold gauge set to the A/C service valves.
3. Check that A/C refrigerant pressure is 345 kPa (3.52 kg/cm
2, 50 psi) or more when temperature is 16 °C
(61 °F) or more. When pressure is lower than the specified value, recycle refrigerant completely and
recharge refrigerant to the specified level.
NOTE:
Leaks may not be detected if A/C refriger ant pressure is 345 kPa (3.52 kg/cm
2, 50 psi) or less when tem-
perature is less than 16° C (61°F).
4. Clean the area where the refrigerant leak check is performed and check for refrigerant leaks along all sur- faces of pipe connections and A/C system co mponents using electronic leak detector probe.
CAUTION:
• Continue checking once leaks are found. Always co ntinue and complete checking along all pipe
connections and A/C system comp onents for additional leaks.
• When leaks are detected, clean leak ar ea using compressed air and re-check.
• When checking the evaporator for leaks, always clean inside of drain hose so that the probe sur-
face may not be exposed to water or dirt.
NOTE:
• Always check for leaks starting from the high-pressure side and continue to the low-pressure side.
• When checking the evaporator for leaks, operate blower motor for 15 minut\
es or more at the maximum speed while the engine is stopped. Insert electronic leak detector probe into drain hose and hold for 10
minutes or more.
• When disconnecting shut-off valve that is connected to A/C service valve, always evacuate remaining
refrigerant so that misidentification can be avoided.
