RESISTER CHECK

Use an ohmmeter to measure the resistance 
between the terminals. Check that the measured 
value is at the standard value.

Standard value:

BLOWER FAN AND MOTOR CHECK

When battery voltage is applied between the 
terminals, check that the motor operates. Also, check 
that there is no abnormal noise.

OUTSIDE/INSIDE AIR SELECTION DAMPER 
CONTROL MOTOR CHECK

CAUTION

Cut off the battery voltage when the damper is in 
the inside/outside air position.

CAUTION

As the compressor oil and receiver are highly 
moisture absorbent, use a non-porous material 
to plug the hose and nipples.
To prevent the entry of dust or other foreign bodies, 
plug the dismantled hose and the nipples of the 
expansion valves.

AIR THERMO SENSOR INSPECTION 

INLET SIDE
Measure the resistance between connector terminals 
1 and 3 under at least two different temperatures. 
The resistance values should generally match those 
in the graph. 
NOTE: The temperature at the check should not 
exceed the range in the graph. 

OUTLET SIDE
Measure the resistance between connector terminals 
4 and 5 under at least two different temperatures. 
The resistance values should generally match those 
in the graph. 
NOTE: The temperature at the check should not 
exceed the range in the graph.

REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS

<<A>> FLEXIBLE SUCTION HOSE AND 
FLEXIBLE DISCHARGE HOSE DISCONNECTION

CAUTION

As the compressor oil and receiver are highly 
moisture absorbent, use a non-porous material 
to plug the hose and nipples.
To prevent the entry of dust or other foreign bodies, 
plug the dismantled hoses and compressor nipples.

<<B>> DRIVE BELT REMOVAL
The following operations will be needed due to the 
introduction of the serpentine drive system with the 
drive belt auto-tensioner.

1. Securely insert the spindle handle or ratchet 

handle with a 12.7 mm insertion angle into the jig 
hole of the auto-tensioner. 

2. Rotate the auto-tensioner anti-clockwise and align 

hole A with hole B.
