25.After charging with refrigerant, turn the handle of 

the adaptor valve back all the way (valve closed).

26.Tighten the charging valve handle (valve closed). 

Remove the quick joint (for low-pressure) from the 
low-pressure service valve.

27.Remove the service can.

NOTE: If the service can is not emptied 
completely, keep the handles of the charging 
valve and adaptor valve closed for the next 
charging.

CHECK THE REFRIGERANT LEVEL

M1552021700013

Remove the refrigerant by the flon reclaim machine 
and replenish the specified quantity of refrigerant.
NOTE: Refer to the Refrigerant Recovery and 
Recycling Unit instruction Manual for operation of the 
unit.

CORRECTING LOW REFRIGERANT 
LEVEL IN CASE THE SERVICE CAN IN 
USED

M1552014600122

1. Install the charge valve with the handle turned all 

the way back (valve open) to the service can.

2. Install the adaptor valve with the handle turned all 

the way back (valve close) to the charging valve.

3. Connect the charging hose (blue) to the adaptor 

valve.

4. Connect the charging hose (blue) to the quick 

joint (for low-pressure).

5. Tighten the handle of the charge valve (valve 

close), and pierce the service can.

6. Turn the handle of the adaptor valve to bleed the 

air.

7. Install the quick joint (for low-pressure) to the 

low-pressure service valve.
NOTE: The low-pressure service valve should be 
connected to the suction hose.

8. Start the engine.
9. Operate the air conditioner and set at the lowest 

temperature (MAX. COOL).

10.Fix the engine speed at 1,500 r/min.
11.Tighten the handle of the adaptor valve (valve 

open), and replenish refrigerant while checking 
the quantity through the sight glass.

12.After replenishing is completed, turn the handle of 

the adaptor valve all the way back (valve close), 
and remove the quick joint.
NOTE: When there is remainder of refrigerant in 
the service can, keep it for next use with the 
charge value and the valve of the adaptor valve 
being closed.

PERFORMANCE TEST

2. Close the high and low-pressure valve of the 

gauge manifold.

3. Connect the charging hose (blue) to the 

low-pressure valve and connect the charging 
hose (red) to the high-pressure valve of the gauge 
manifold.

CAUTION

• To connect the quick joint, press section A 

firmly against the service valve until a click is 
heard.

• When connecting, run your hand along the 

hose while pressing to ensure that there are 
no bends in the hose.

4. Install the quick joint (for low-pressure) to the 

charging hose (blue), and connect the quick joint 
(for high-pressure) to the charging hose (red).
NOTE: The high-pressure service valve is on the 
A/C pipe and the low-pressure service valve is on 
the suction hose.

5. Connect the quick joint (for low-pressure) to the 

low-pressure service valve and connect the quick 
joint (for high-pressure) to the high-pressure 
service valve.

6. Start the engine.

7. Set the A/C controls as follows:

When the front A/C test

• A/C switch: A/C − ON position

• Mode selection: FACE position

• Temperature control: MAXIMUM COOLING 

position

• Air selection: RECIRCULATION position

• Blower switch: Fast position 

When the rear A/C test

• The front A/C should be set as above

• A/C switch: A/C ON position

• Temperature control: MAXIMUM COOLING 

position

• Blower switch: Fast position 

8. Adjust engine speed to 1,500 r/min with A/C 

clutch engaged.

9. Engine should be warmed up with doors and 

windows opened.

10.Insert a thermometer in the centre air outlet and 

operate the engine for 20 minutes.

NOTE: If the clutch cycles, take the reading before 
the clutch disengages.
11.Note the discharge air temperature.

SIMPLE INSPECTION OF THE A/C 
PRESSURE SENSOR

M1552014700152

1. Assemble a gauge manifold on the high pressure 

service valve.

2. Disconnect the A/C pressure sensor connector 

and connect the special tool test harness 
(MB991658) as shown.

3. Start the engine and then turn ON the air 

conditioner switch.

4. At this time, check to see that the voltage of the 

A/C pressure sensor connector terminal No. 2 
reflects the specifications of the figure.
NOTE: The allowance shall be defined as 

±

5%.
