TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS

TROUBLE DIAGNOSES FOR UNUSUAL PRESSURE

Whenever system's high and/or low side pressure is unusual, diagnose using a manifold gauge. The marker
above the gauge scale in the following tables indicates the standard (usual) pressure range. Since the stan-
dard (usual) pressure, however, differs from vehicle to vehicle, refer to above table (Ambient air temperature-
to-operating pressure table).

Both High- and Low-pressure Sides are Too High.

High-Pressure Side is Too High and Low-Pressure Side is Too Low.

Gauge indication

Refrigerant cycle

Probable cause

Corrective action

Both high- and low-pressure sides 
are too high.

Pressure is reduced soon 
after water is splashed on 
condenser.

Excessive refrigerant charge 
in refrigeration cycle

Reduce refrigerant until speci-
fied pressure is obtained.

Air suction by cooling fan is 
insufficient.

Insufficient condenser cooling 
performance

1. Condenser fins are 

clogged.

2. Improper fan rotation of 

cooling fan

Clean condenser.

Check and repair cooling fan 
as necessary.

Low-pressure pipe is not 
cold.

When compressor is 
stopped high-pressure 
value quickly drops by 
approximately 196 kPa (2 
kg/cm

2

 , 28 psi). It then 

decreases gradually there-
after.

Poor heat exchange in con-
denser
(After compressor operation 
stops, high pressure 
decreases too slowly.)

Air in refrigeration cycle

Evacuate repeatedly and 
recharge system.

Engine tends to overheat.

Engine cooling systems mal-
function.

Check and repair each engine 
cooling system.

An area of the low-pressure 
pipe is colder than areas 
near the evaporator outlet.

Plates are sometimes cov-
ered with frost.

Excessive liquid refrigerant 
on low-pressure side

Excessive refrigerant dis-
charge flow

Expansion valve is open a 
little compared with the 
specification.

 

Improper expansion valve 
adjustment

Replace expansion valve.

AC359A

Gauge indication

Refrigerant cycle

Probable cause

Corrective action

High-pressure side is too high and 
low-pressure side is too low.

Upper side of condenser and 
high-pressure side are hot, 
however, liquid tank is not so 
hot.

High-pressure tube or parts 
located between compressor 
and condenser are clogged or 
crushed.

Check and repair or replace 
malfunctioning parts.

Check lubricant for contami-
nation.
