GENERAL – Precautions Before Service00-16
SERVICING THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Before replacing a component related to the electrical system
and before undertaking any repair procedures involving the
electrical system, be sure to first disconnect the negative
(–) cable from the battery in order to avoid damage caused
by short-circuiting.
Caution
Before connecting or disconnecting the negative (–) cable,
be sure to turn off the ignition switch and the lighting
switch.
(If this is not done, there is the possibility of
semiconductor parts being damaged.)
APPLICATION OF ANTI-CORROSION AGENTS
AND UNDERCOATS
If oil or grease gets onto the oxygen sensor, it will cause
a drop in the performance of the sensor.
Cover the oxygen sensor with a protective cover when applying
anti-corrosion agents and undercoats.
PRE-INSPECTION CONDITION
“Pre-inspection condition” refers to the condition that the
vehicle must be in before proper engine inspection can be
carried out. If you see the words “Set the vehicle to the
pre-inspection condition.” in this manual, it means to set the
vehicle to the following condition.
Engine coolant temperature: 80–90C
Lamps, electric cooling fan and all accessories: OFF
M/T: Neutral
VEHICLE WASHING
If high-pressure car-washing equipment or steam car-washing
equipment is used to wash the vehicle, be sure to note the
following information in order to avoid damage to plastic
components, etc.
Spray nozzle distance: Approx. 40 cm or more
Spray pressure: 3,900 kPa or less
Spray temperature: 82C or less
Time of concentrated spray to one point: within 30 sec.
Approx.
40 cm

ENGINE – Front Case, Counterbalance Shaft and Oil Pan11-58
COUNTERBALANCE SHAFT
(1) Check oil holes for clogging.
(2) Check journals for seizure, damage and contact with
bearing. If there is anything wrong with the journal, replace
the counterbalance shaft, bearing or front case assembly.
OIL COOLER BY-PASS VALVE (ENGINE WITH AIR
COOLING TYPE OIL COOLER)
(1) Make sure that the valve moves smoothly.
(2) Ensure that the dimension (L) measures the standard
valve under normal temperature and humidity.
Standard value (L): 34.5 mm
(3) The dimension must be the standard value when
measured after the valve has been dipped in 100°C oil.
Standard value (L): 40 mm or more
OIL PUMP
(1) Assemble the oil pump gear to the front case and rotate
it to ensure smooth rotation with no looseness.
(2) Ensure that there is no ridge wear on the contact surface
between the front case and the gear surface of the oil
pump cover.
(3) Check the side clearance.
Standard value:
Drive gear 0.08 – 0.14 mm
Driven gear 0.06 – 0.12 mm

Caution
(1) To connect the quick joint, press section “A” firmly
against the service valve until a click is heard.
(2) When connecting, run your hand along the hose
while pressing to ensure that there are no bends
in the hose.
5. Start the engine.
6. Set the blower switch to HI (Fast) position
7. Set the A/C switch to ON position
8. Set the temperature control to Max. cooling position
9. Set the mode selection to Face position
10. Set the air selection to Recirculation position
11. Fix engine speed to 1,500 r/min.
12. Check that the high-pressure side pressure is 1,667 –
1,765 kPa.
NOTE
If the pressure is not within this range, adjust it as follows;
cool down the condenser using a cooling fan if the
pressure is higher, and cover the condenser to protect
it from ventilation air if it is lower.
13. Set a dry-bulb/wet-bulb thermometer at the air inlet, and
set a dry-bulb thermometer at the air outlet.
Caution
(1) Set the dry-bulb thermometer at a position where
the temperature sensing section can be directly
blown with cooled air.
(2) Place the dry-bulb/wet-bulb thermometer at a
position where it is not exposed to cooled air
blown out.
14. After the temperature of the air blown out from the air
outlet has been stabilized (10 – 15 minutes after starting),
read the dry-bulb thermometer set at the air outlet and
the wet-valve thermometer set at the air inlet.
15. The air conditioning system is considered in good
condition if the intersecting point of the measurements
obtained in Step (14) is below the performance evaluation
reference line on the graph.
Caution
Do not remove the quick joint immediately after the
performance test has been completed. Stop the engine
and wait until the high-pressure side pressure of the
gauge manifold has been lowered sufficiently.

BCASE COVER, EVAPORATOR REMOVAL
The evaporator, which has been installed in a factory, has
no case cover. Follow the steps below to remove that
evaporator.
1. Cut the case along the shown line to remove the cooling
and blower unit.
2. Remove the air thermo sensor from the evaporator, and
then remove the evaporator towards you, being careful
not to damage its core.
INSPECTION
BLOWER MOTOR CHECK
When battery voltage is applied between the terminals, check
that the motor operates. Also, check that there is no abnormal
noise.
RESISTOR CHECK
Use a circuit tester to measure the resistance between the
terminals as indicated below. Check that the measured value
is at the standard value.
Standard value:

ACOMPRESSOR INSTALLATION
If a new compressor is installed, first adjust the amount of
oil according to the procedures described below, and then
install the compressor.
1. Measure the amount (X m
) of oil within the removed
compressor.
2. Drain (from the new compressor) the amount of oil
calculated according to the following formula, and then
install the new compressor.
New compressor oil amount
120 to 140 m

NOTE
(1)“120 to 140 ml” is the amount of oil filled in a new
compressor.
(2) Y m
indicates the amount of oil in the refrigerant
line, the condenser, the cooling unit etc.
