< BASIC INSPECTION >

[TYPE 4]

• Temperature setting: Full cold
• Fan (blower) speed: Maximum speed set

Run the engine at approximately 1,500 rpm for 2 minutes or more.

Stop the engine. Check again for refrigerant leakage. GO TO 4.

WARNING:

Be careful not to get burned when the engine is hot.
NOTE:
• Start refrigerant leakage check immediately after the engine is

stopped.

• When refrigerant circulation is stopped, pressure on the low-

pressure side rises gradually, and after this, pressure on the
high-pressure side falls gradually.

• The higher the pressure is, the easier it is to find the refriger-

ant leakage.

Recycle Refrigerant

INFOID:0000000010704912

WARNING:

• Always use HFC-134a for A/C refrigerant. If CFC-12 is accidentally charged, compressor is damaged

due to insufficient lubrication.

• Always observe and follow precautions described on refrigerant container. Incorrect handling may

result in an explosion of refrigerant container, frostbite, or the loss of eyesight.

• Never breathe A/C refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose, or

throat.

• Never allow HFC-134a to be exposed to an open flame or others because it generates poisonous gas

when in contact with high temperature objects. Keep workshop well ventilated.

Perform lubricant return operation. Refer to

HA-114, "Perform Lubricant Return Operation"

. (If refrigerant

or lubricant leakage is detected in a large amount, omit this step, and then GO TO 2.)

CAUTION:

Never perform lubricant return operation if a large amount of refrigerant or lubricant leakage is
detected.

Check gauge pressure readings of recovery/recycling/recharging equipment. When remaining pressure
exists, recycle refrigerant from high-pressure hose and low-pressure hose.
NOTE:
Follow manufacturer instructions for the handling or maintenance of the equipment. Never fill the equip-
ment with non-specified refrigerant.

Remove A/C service valve cap from the vehicle.

Connect recovery/recycling/recharging equipment to A/C service valve.

Operate recovery/recycling/recharging equipment, and recycle refrigerant from the vehicle.

Evacuate air for 10 minutes or more to remove any remaining refrigerant integrated to compressor lubri-
cant, etc.

Refrigerant recycle operation is complete.

REFRIGERANT

Operate recovery/recycling/recharging equipment, and evacuate air from A/C system for 25 minutes or
more.

CAUTION:

Evacuate air for 15 minutes or more if the parts are replaced.

Check the airtightness of A/C system for 25 minutes or more. If pressure raises more than the specified
level, charge A/C system with approximately 200 g refrigerant and check that there is no refrigerant leak-
age. Refer to

HA-110, "Leak Test"

CAUTION:

Check the airtightness for 15 minutes or more if the parts are replaced.

If parts other than compressor are replaced, fill compressor lubricant according to parts that are replaced.

Charge the specified amount of refrigerant to A/C system.

Check that A/C system operates normally.

Disconnect recovery/recycling/recharging equipment. (Collect the refrigerant from the high-pressure hose
and low-pressure hose of recovery/recycling/recharging equipment.)

Install A/C service valve cap.

Refrigerant charge is complete.

LUBRICANT

Description

INFOID:0000000010704914

MAINTENANCE OF LUBRICANT LEVEL

The compressor lubricant is circulating in the system together with the refrigerant. It is necessary to fill com-
pressor with lubricant when replacing A/C system parts or when a large amount of refrigerant leakage is
detected. It is important to always maintain lubricant level within the specified level. Or otherwise, the following
conditions may occur.
• Insufficient lubricant amount: Stuck compressor
• Excessive lubricant amount: Insufficient cooling (caused by insufficient heat exchange)

Inspection

INFOID:0000000010704915

If a compressor is malfunctioning (internal noise, insufficient cooling), check the compressor oil.

COMPRESSOR OIL JUDGMENT

Remove the compressor. Refer to

HA-171, "Removal and Installation"

Sample a compressor oil and judge on the figure.

Judgement result 1>>Replace compressor only.
Judgement result 2>>Replace compressor and condenser & liquid tank assembly.

Perform Lubricant Return Operation

INFOID:0000000010704916

CAUTION:

If a large amount of refrigerant or lubricant leakage is detected, never perform lubricant return opera-
tion.

Start the engine and set to the following conditions.
• Engine speed: Idling to 1,200 rpm
• A/C switch: ON
• Fan (blower) speed: Maximum speed set
• Intake door position: Recirculation
• Temperature setting: Full cold

Perform lubricant return operation for approximately 10 minutes.

Stop the engine.

Lubricant return operation is complete.

Trouble Diagnosis For Unusual Pressure

INFOID:0000000010704922

Diagnose using a manifold gauge whenever system’s high and/or low side pressure(s) is/are unusual. The
marker above the gauge scale in the following tables indicates the standard (usual) pressure range. Refer to
above table (Ambient air temperature-to-operating pressure table) since the standard (usual) pressure, how-
ever, differs from vehicle to vehicle.
