Abnormal noise from crankshaft pulley
Abnormal noise from tension pulley
Abnormal noise from A/C evaporator
Abnormal noise from blower fan motor
Condition Possible Cause Correction
A large rattling noise
is heard at idle or sud-
den acceleration.Loosen crankshaft pulley bolt. Retighten bolt.
Condition Possible Cause Correction
Clattering noise is
heard from pulley.Worn or damaged bearing. Replace tension pulley.
Pulley cranks upon
contact.Cracked or loose bracket. Replace or retighten bracket.
Condition Possible Cause Correction
Whistling sound is
heard from A/C evapo-
rator.Depending on the combination of the interior /
exterior temperatures, engine rpm and refriger-
ant pressure, the refrigerant flowing out of the
expansion valve may, under certain conditions,
make a whistling sound.At times, slightly decreasing refrig-
erant volume may stop this noise.
Inspect expansion valve and
replace if faulty.
Condition Possible Cause Correction
Blower fan motor
emits a chirping
sound in proportion to
its speed of rotation.Worn or damaged motor brushes or commuta-
tor.Repair or replace blower fan motor.
Fluttering noise or
large droning noise is
heard from blower fan
motor.Leaves or other debris introduced from fresh air
inlet to blower fan motor.Remove debris and make sure that
the screen at fresh air inlet is intact.

Performance Diagnosis
1) Confirm that vehicle and environmental conditions are as fol-
lows.
Vehicle is not exposed to direct sun.
Ambient temperature is within 15 – 35 °C (59 – 95 °F).
2) Make sure that high pressure valve (1) and low pressure
valve (2) of manifold gauge set (3) are firmly closed.
3) Connect high pressure charging hose (4) to high pressure
service valve (5), and connect low pressure charging hose
(6) to low pressure service valve (7).
4) Bleed the air in charging hoses (4), (6) by loosening their
respective nuts on manifold gauge set (3), utilizing the refrig-
erant pressure. When a hissing sound is heard, immediately
tighten nut.
5) Warm up engine to normal operating temperature (engine
coolant temperature at 80 – 90 °C (176 – 194 °F)) and keep
it at specified idle speed. (Radiator cooling fan should not be
working when checking pressure and temperature.)
6) Turn A/C switch ON, and set blower switch at “HI” (3rd posi-
tion), temperature knob at “COOL” air outlet control knob at
“FACE” and fresh / circulation control knob at “CIRCULA-
TION”. (Confirm that A/C compressor and radiator / con-
denser cooling fan are working.)
Keep all windows, doors and engine food open.
Performance diagnosis condition
7) With dry bulb thermometer (1) inserted into center duct air
outlet and another one set near evaporator air inlet, read
temperature indicated on each thermometer. CAUTION:
Do not interchange high and low pressure charging
hoses by mistake.
Ambient temperature 15 – 35 °C (59 – 95 °F)
Engine rpm Keep to 1,500 rpm.
Blower fan motor switch “H” (3rd position)
Temperature control “Cool”
Air outlet control “Face”
Vehicle doors All open
