A/C Refrigerant Oil Replacement

3. Inspect the drive belt (see page 4-30).
4. Make sure no material is blocking the air flow to the
A/C condenser.
5. Check the dust and pollen filter. Replace it if it is clogged (see page 21-75).
6. Check for kinks or sharp bends in the A/C lines and hoses, which can greatly reduce system
performance. Replace A/C lines and hoses if they
are kinked or damaged (see page 21-8).
7. Start the engine, turn the air conditioning system on, and allow it to run for a few minutes and reach
stable operation.
 Check that the A/C operates at each position of the blower fan switch (except OFF). If the A/C
does not operate, refer to the symptom
troubleshooting.
 Check that the A/C compressor clutch (A) is engaged. The pressure plate should be rotating
at the same speed as the pulley. If the pressure
plate does not engage, refer to the symptom
troubleshooting.
 Check that the A/C condenser fan (B) and radiator fan (C) operate when the A/C compressor clutch
is engaged. If either fan fails to operate when the
A/C compressor clutch is engaged, refer to the
symptom troubleshooting.
 Check that the engine idle speed is correctly maintained when the A/C is switched on and off
and the A/C compressor clutch is engaged and
disengaged. Recommended PAG oil: SP-10
P/N 38897-P13-A01AH: 120 mL (4 fl·oz)
It is important to have the correct amount of refrigerant
oil in the A/C system to ensure proper lubrication of the
compressor. Too little oil damages the compressor; too
much oil reduces the cooling capacity of the system,
and can produce high vent temperatures.
 To avoid contamination, do not return the oil to the container once dispensed, and never mix it with other
refrigerant oils.
 Immediately after using the oil, reinstall the cap on the container, and seal it to avoid moisture
absorption.
 Do not spill the refrigerant oil on the vehicle; it may damage the paint; if it gets on the paint, wash it off
immediately.
Add the recommended refrigerant oil in the amount
listed if you replace any of the following parts: ........
.............. ............ ........

A/C condenser .50 mL (1 2/3 fl·oz)
Evaporator .40 mL (1 1/3 fl·oz)

Receiver/Dryer .10 mL (1/3 fl·oz)
Leakage repair .25 mL (5/6 fl·oz)
A/C compressor .Since the oil separator is
equipped inside the compressor
for this vehicle, oil drainage is
unnecessary at the time of
compressor replacement.

How to Check for DTCs with the HDS
21-9
General Troubleshooting Information
A
1. Make sure the ignition switch is in LOCK (0).
2. Connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC) (A) located under the driver’s side of the dashboard.
3. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
4. Make sure the HDS communicates with the vehicle and the climate control unit. If it doesn’t, troubleshoot the DLCcircuit (see page 11-204).
5. Select HVAC/CLIMATE CONTROL in the BODY ELECTRICAL menu.
6. Select DTCs in the HVAC/CLIMATE CONTROL menu.
7. Check for DTCs. If any DTCs are indicated, write down the DTCs, then go to the indicated DTC troubleshooting. If no DTCs are indicated, refer to symptom troubleshooting.
NOTE: After troubleshooting, clear the DTCs with the HDS.
 For specific operations, refer to the user’s manual that came with the HDS.

The climate control unit has a self-diagnostic function. To run the self-diagnostic function, do the following:
1. Make sure the ignition switch is in LOCK (0).
2. Press and hold the AUTO and RECIRCULATION buttons, turn the ignition switch to ON (II), then release the AUTO and RECIRCULATION buttons.
3. All LCD segments come on for 2 seconds, then self-diagnostic function begins.
NOTE: The blower motor will run at various speeds when in the self-diagnostic mode, regardless of what the
panel is displaying. If there is any problem in the system, the temperature indicator will light up the segment (A through P) and AUTO indicator corresponding to the error. The temperature indicator will then alternate every second between
displaying ‘‘88’’ (all segments lit) and the error code segment (A through P) and AUTO indicator. To determine
the meaning of the DTC, refer to checking for DTCs.
 If there are no problems detected, the segments will not illuminate, and the system will appear to be turned off.
4. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0) to cancel the self-diagnostic function. After completing repair work, run the self-diagnostic function again to make sure that there are no other DTCs.

Displaying Sensor Inputs at the Climate Control Unit
Check these items before using the sensor input display mode
To run the sensor input display mode, follow these steps
21-13
The climate control unit has a mode that displays the sensor inputs it receives. This mode shows you what data the
climate control unit is receiving from each of the sensors, one at a time, and it can help you determine if a sensor is
faulty.1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), and check the recirculation door function; press the recirculation button to switch from FRESH to RECIRC. The air volume and sound should change slightly.
2. Set the temperature control knob to the desired test temperature. When selecting the test temperature, note these items:
 ‘‘Lo’’ temperature setting will default to MAX COOL, VENT, and RECIRC.
 ‘‘Hi’’ temperature setting will default to MAX HOT, FLOOR, and FRESH.
 19 through 31 °C settings will use the automatic climate control logic.
3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
2. Press and hold both the AUTO and MODE buttons, then start the engine.
3. After the engine starts, release both buttons. The display panel will flash the sensor number and then the value for that sensor. Record the value displayed.
4. To advance to the next sensor, press the A/C button. Sensor Item Displayed Value1 Mode Positioning BIT
2 In-car Temperature °C
3 Outside Air Temperature °C
4 Solar Radiation Sensor Value: Dark = 00, Flashlight = 04, Cloudy = 10, Sunny = 65 10 kcal/m ·h
5 Evaporator Outlet Air Temperature °C
6 Air Mix Opening (Low value indicates cooler air distribution, higher value indicates warmer air distribution) % of opening
7 Recirculation Opening % of opening
8 Vehicle Speed (Vehicle must be driven to display speed) km/h
9 Engine Coolant Temperature °C
A Vent Temperature Air Out (TAO) °C
NOTE:  The sensor values will be displayed in degrees Celsius (°C) or an alphanumeric code. Use the chart to convert the value to degrees Fahrenheit (°F).
 If the sensor value displays ‘‘Er’’ this indicates there is an open or short in the circuit or sensor. Check for DTCs using the HDS, or use the climate control self-diagnostic function.
 If necessary, compare the sensor input display to a known-good vehicle under the same test conditions.
 If the sensor is out of the normal range, refer to the sensor test or substitute a known-good sensor, and recheck.
5. To cancel the sensor input display mode, press the AUTO button or turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0). (cont’d)
