2. Adjust the height of the target stand so that the point of the trian-
gle aims the center of the ICC sensor.
ADJUSTING THE RIGHT-LEFT POSITION OF THE TARGET
1. Attach a scale (at least 350 mm [14 in] or longer) or stick as
shown in the figure.
2. Suspend a thread with weight on the tip of the thread to 310 mm
(12.2 in) left side of the target board from the center of the tar-
get board on top.
SETTING THE TARGET
1. Suspend a thread with weight on tip to splice the center of the front and back bumpers. Then, mark the
center point on the ground as each weight points.
2. Link the front and back bumpers center points marked on the ground, and mark a point 5 m ahead of the
sensor, on the extended line of the previous link line of the bumper center points. Then, adjust the position
of the target board so that the weight come on the top of the marked point (5 m ahead of the sensor) and
face to the vehicle.
3. Adjust the position of the target board so that the extended line
that links the center of the rear window (the center of the rear
window defogger pattern) and the center of the front windshield
(the setting part of the room mirror) align with the weight sus-
pended from the board.
4. Remove the thread suspended to the left side of board and suspend a thread with weight on tip on the
center of the target board.Then mark the point of weight on the ground.

DISPLAY SCREEN
Displays the operational status of the system.
AUTO SWITCH
The compressor, intake doors, air mix doors, outlet doors and blower speed are automatically controlled
so that the in-vehicle temperature will reach, and be maintained at the set temperature selected by the
operator.
When pressing AUTO switch, air inlet, air outlet, fan speed, and discharge air temperature are automati-
cally controlled.
TEMPERATURE SWITCH (POTENTIO TEMPERATURE CONTROL) (DRIVER SIDE)

RECIRCULATION (REC) SWITCH
When REC switch is ON, REC switch indicator turns ON, and air inlet is fixed to REC.
When REC switch is ON and is pressed for approximately 1.5 seconds or longer, REC and FRE switch
indicators blink twice. Then, automatic control mode is entered. Inlet status is displayed even during auto-
matically controlled.
When FRE switch is turned ON, or when compressor is turned from ON to OFF, REC switch is automati-
cally turned OFF (fixed to FRE mode). REC mode can be re-entered by pressing REC switch again.
REC switch is not operated when DEF switch is turned ON, or at the D/F position.
FRESH (FRE) SWITCH
When FRE switch is ON, FRE switch indicator turns ON, and air inlet is fixed to FRE.
When FRE switch is ON and is pressed for approximately 1.5 seconds or longer, REC and FRE switch
indicators blink twice. Then, automatic control mode is entered. Inlet status is displayed even during auto-
matically controlled.
When REC switch is turned ON, FRE switch is automatically turned OFF (fixed to REC mode). FRE mode
can be re-entered by pressing FRE switch again.
DEFROSTER (DEF) SWITCH
Positions the air outlet doors to the defrost position. Also positions the intake doors to the fresh air position.
REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER SWITCH
When illumination is ON, rear window is defogged.
OFF SWITCH
The compressor and blower are OFF, the intake doors are set to the fresh air position, and the air outlet doors
are set to the foot (75% foot and 25% defrost) position.
A/C SWITCH
The compressor is ON or OFF.
(Pressing the A/C switch when the AUTO switch is ON will turn off the A/C switch and compressor.)
MODE SWITCH

Checking for Refrigerant LeaksAJS00163
Perform a visual inspection of all refrigeration parts, fittings, hoses and components for signs of A/C lubricant
leakage, damage and corrosion. A/C lubricant leakage may indicate an area of refrigerant leakage. Allow
extra inspection time in these areas when using either an electronic refrigerant leak detector or fluorescent
dye leak detector.
If dye is observed, confirm the leak with an electronic refrigerant leak detector. It is possible a prior leak was
repaired and not properly cleaned.
When searching for leaks, do not stop when one leak is found but continue to check for additional leaks at all
system components and connections.
When searching for refrigerant leaks using an electronic leak detector, move the probe along the suspected
leak area at 1 to 2 inches per second and no further than 1/4 inch from the component.
CAUTION:
Moving the electronic leak detector probe slower and closer to the suspected leak area will improve
the chances of finding a leak.
Checking System for Leaks Using the Fluorescent Leak DetectorAJS00164
1. Check A/C system for leaks using the UV lamp and safety goggles (J-42220) in a low sunlight area (area
without windows preferable). Illuminate all components, fittings and lines. The dye will appear as a bright
green/yellow area at the point of leakage. Fluorescent dye observed at the evaporator drain opening indi-
cates an evaporator core assembly (tubes, core or expansion valve) leak.
2. If the suspected area is difficult to see, use an adjustable mirror or wipe the area with a clean shop rag or
cloth, with the UV lamp for dye residue.
3. After the leak is repaired, remove any residual dye using dye cleaner (J-43872) to prevent future misdiag-
nosis.
4. Perform a system performance check and verify the leak repair with an approved electronic refrigerant
leak detector.
NOTE:
Other gases in the work area or substances on the A/C components, for example, anti-freeze, windshield
washer fluid, solvents and lubricants, may falsely trigger the leak detector. Make sure the surfaces to be
checked are clean.
Clean with a dry cloth or blow off with shop air.
Do not allow the sensor tip of the detector to contact with any substance. This can also cause false readings
and may damage the detector.
Dye InjectionAJS00165
(This procedure is only necessary when recharging the system or when the compressor has seized and was
replaced.)
1. Check A/C system static (at rest) pressure. Pressure must be at least 345 kPa (3.52 kg/cm
2 , 50 psi).
2. Pour one bottle (1/4 ounce / 7.4 cc) of the A/C refrigerant dye into the injector tool (J-41459).
3. Connect the injector tool to the A/C Low-pressure side service fitting.
4. Start engine and switch A/C ON.
5. When the A/C operating (compressor running), inject one bottle (1/4 ounce / 7.4 cc) of fluorescent dye
through the low-pressure service valve using dye injector tool J-41459 (refer to the manufacture′s operat-
ing instructions).
6. With the engine still running, disconnect the injector tool from the service fitting.
CAUTION:
Be careful the A/C system or replacing a component, pour the dye directly into the open system
connection and proceed with the service procedures.
7. Operate the A/C system for a minimum of 20 minutes to mix the dye with the system oil. Depending on the
leak size, operating conditions and location of the leak, it may take from minutes to days for the dye to
penetrate a leak and become visible.
