calculate the amount of the refrigerant and charge it. A/C COMPRESSOR CLUTCH TEST 1. Disconnect the air conditioning compressor clutch connector to the air
conditioning compressor clutch.
2. Connect positive battery voltage directly to the connector for the air
conditioning compressor clutch.
3. If the air conditioning compressor clutch is normal, there will be a "click." If
the pulley and armature do not make contact ("no click"), there is a
malfunction.

DISCHARGING SYSTEM Use the refrigerant recovery unit to discharge refrigerant gas from the system. REFILLING OF OIL IN THE A/C SYSTEM Too little oil will provide inadequate compressor lubrication and cause a
compressor failure. Too much oil will increase discharge air temperature.
When a compressor is installed at the factory, it contains 140 cm
3 (4.7 fl.oz) of
refrigerant oil. While the A/C system is in operation, the oil is carried through the
entire system by the refrigerant. Some of this oil will be trapped and retained in
various parts of the system.
When the following system components are changed, it is necessary to add oil to
the system to replace the oil being removed with the component.
Compressor oil: SUN PAG 56

Quantity:

Evaporator: 60
cm
3 (2.0 fl.oz)

Condenser:
15 cm
3 (0.5 fl.oz)
Suction hose: 10 cm3 (0.3 fl.oz)

PERFORMANCE TEST The vehicles to be tested should be parked out of direct sunlight.
1. Close the high and low-pressure valve of the gauge manifold.
2. Connect the charging hose (blue) to the low-pressure valve and connect the

4. 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.
5. Start the engine.
6. Set the A/C controls as follows:
A/C switch: A/C - ON position Mode selection: FACE position Temperature control: MAXIMUM COOLING position Air selection: RECIRCULATION position Blower switch: Maximum air volume
7. Adjust engine speed to 1,500 r/min with A/C clutch engaged.
8. Engine should be warmed up with doors and windows closed.
9. Insert a thermometer in the center air outlet and operate the engine for 20
minutes.
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.
NOTE: The high-pressure service valve is on the A/C pipe and
the low-pressure service valve is on the suction hose.

REFRIGERANT LEAK REPAIR PROCEDURE LOST CHARGE If the system has lost all charge due to a leak:
1. Evacuate the system. (Refer to
CHARGING
and
DISCHARGING
).
2. Charge the system with approximately 0.453 kg (1 pound) of refrigerant.
3. Check for leaks.
4. Discharge the system.
5. Repair leaks.
6. Replace receiver drier.
7. Evacuate and charge system.
LOW CHARGE If the system has not lost all of its refrigerant charge; locate and repair all leaks. If it
is necessary to increase the system pressure to find the leak (because of an
especially low charge) add refrigerant. If it is possible to repair the leak without
discharging the refrigerant system, use the procedure for correcting low refrigerant
level. COMPRESSOR NOISE CHECK You must first know the conditions when the noise occurs. These conditions are:
CAUTION: Replacement filter-drier units must be sealed
while in storage. The drier used in these units
will saturate water quickly upon exposure to the
atmosphere. When installing a drier, have all
tools and supplies ready for quick assembly to
avoid keeping the system open any longer than
necessary.
