SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS
REFRIGERATION SYSTEM SYMPTOMS
Trouble Diagnosis For Unusual PressureINFOID:0000000012431994
Diagnose using a manifold gauge set whenever refrigerant pressures are unusual. The marker above the
gauge scale in the following table indicates the standard (usual) pressure range. Refer to HA-24, "
Inspection".
Symptom TableINFOID:0000000012431995
Gauge indicationRefrigerant cycleProbable causeCorrective action
Both high and low-pressure sides
are too high. The pressure returns to nor-
mal soon after sprinkling wa-
ter on condenser.
Overfilled refrigerant. Recover refrigerant, evacuate
system, and recharge with the
specified amount of refrigerant.
Refer to HA-20, "
Recycle Re-
frigerant".
Air flow to condenser is insuf-
ficient. Insufficient condenser cooling
performance.
• Poor cooling fan rotation.
• Missing and/or improper in-
stallation of air guides.
• Clogged or dirty condenser fins. • Repair or replace malfunc-
tioning parts.
• Clean and/or repair condens- er fins.
When compressor stops,
high-pressure gauge quickly
drops by approximately 196
kPa (2 kg/cm
2, 28 psi), then
gradually decreases. Air mixed with refrigerant.
Recover refrigerant, evacuate
system, and recharge with the
specified amount of refrigerant.
Refer to HA-20, "Recycle Re-
frigerant".
• Low-pressure pipe is cooler than the outlet of evapora-
tor.
• Low-pressure pipe is frost- ed. Expansion valve opened too
much (excessive flow of refrig-
erant).
Replace expansion valve. Refer
to
HA-36, "
EXPANSION VALVE
: Removal and Installation".
High-pressure side is excessively
high and low-pressure side is too
low. High-pressure pipe and upper
side of condenser become
hot, however, liquid tank does
not become so hot.Clogged or crushed high-pres-
sure pipe located between
compressor and condenser.
Repair or replace the malfunc-
tioning parts.
High-pressure side is too low and
low-pressure side is too high. • The readings of both sides
become equal soon after
compressor stops.
• There is no temperature dif-
ference between high and
low-pressure sides. Malfunctioning compressor (in-
sufficient compressor pressure
operation).
• Damaged or broken of inter-
nal components.
• Malfunctioning gaskets. Replace compressor. Refer to
HA-26, "
Removal and Installa-
tion".

OIL
DescriptionINFOID:0000000012432001
MAINTENANCE OF OIL LEVEL
The compressor oil circulates in the system together with the refrigerant. It is necessary to add oil to the com-
pressor when replacing A/C system components or when a large amount of refrigerant leaks from the system.
It is important to always maintain oil level within t he specified level. Otherwise, the following conditions may
occur.
• Insufficient oil amount: Stuck compressor
• Excessive oil amount: Insufficient cooling (caused by insufficient heat exchange)
InspectionINFOID:0000000012432002
If a compressor is malfunctioning (internal noise, insufficient cooling), check the compressor oil.
1.COMPRESSOR OIL JUDGMENT
1. Remove the compressor. Refer to HA-26, "
Removal and Installation".
2. Sample the compressor oil and judge on the figure.
Judgement result 1>>Replace compressor only.
Judgement result 2>>Replace compressor and condenser (includes liquid tank).
Perform Oil Retu rn OperationINFOID:0000000012432003
CAUTION:
If a large amount of refrigerant or oil leaks from the system, do not perform oil return operation.
1. Start the engine and set the front air control to the following conditions. • Engine speed: Idling to 1,200 rpm
• A/C switch: ON
• Blower speed: Maximum
• Intake door position: Recirculation
• Temperature setting: Full cold
2. Perform oil return operation for approximately 10 minutes.
3. Stop the engine.
4. Oil return operation is complete.
Oil Adjusting Procedure for Compon ents Replacement Except Compressor
INFOID:0000000012432004
Add the amount of oil that is calculated according to the following conditions.
Example: Oil amount to be added when replacing evaporator [m (Imp fl oz.)] = 35 (1.2) + α
Name A/C System Oil Type: DH-PR

< SYSTEM DESCRIPTION >[CAN FUNDAMENTAL]
TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Symptom When Error Occurs in CAN Communication System
INFOID:0000000012433334
In CAN communication system, multiple control units mutually transmit and receive signals. Each control unit
cannot transmit and receive signals if any error occurs on CAN communication line. Under this condition, mul-
tiple control units related to the root cause malfunction or go into fail-safe mode.
ERROR EXAMPLE
NOTE:
Each vehicle differs in symptom of each control unit under fail-safe mode and CAN communication line wiring.
Example: Main Line Between Data Link Connector and ABS Actuator and Electric Un it (Control Unit) Open Circuit
JSMIA0442GB
Unit name Major symptom
ECM Engine torque limiting is affected, and shift harshness increases.
BCM • Reverse warning buzzer does not sound.
• The front wiper moves under continuous operation mode even though the front wip-
er switch being in the intermittent position.
EPS control unit The steering effort increases.
Combination meter • The shift position indicator and OD OFF indicator turn OFF.
• The speedometer is inoperative.
• The odo/trip meter stops.
ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) Normal operation.
TCM No impact on operation.
IPDM E/R When the ignition switch is ON,
• The headlamps (Lo) turn ON.
• The cooling fan continues to rotate.
