ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. INSPECT REFRIGERANT PRESSURE WITH
MANIFOLD GAUGE SET
(a) This method uses a manifold gauge set to locate
problem areas. Read the manifold gauge pressure
when these conditions are established.
Test conditions:
• Temperature at the air inlet is 30 to 35
C (86 to
95
F).
• Engine is running at 1,500 rpm.
• All doors are fully open.
• Blower speed control switch is at HI.
• Temperature control switch is at MAX. COOL.
• A/C switch is ON.
(b) Gauge readings (Reference)

(1) Normally functioning refrigeration system
Gauge reading
(2) The A/C system periodically changes between
normal and improper function due to moisture
in the refrigerant system.
(3) The A/C system does not function effectively
due to insufficient cooling.

High
1.37 to 1.57 MPa (14 to 16 kgf/cm

Symptoms Probable Cause Diagnosis Corrective Actions
During operation, pressure on low
- pressure side cycles between
normal and vacuumMoisture in refrigeration system
freezes at expansion valve orifice,
causing temporary stop of cycle.
However, when melted, normal
state is restored- Drier is overly saturated
- Moisture in refrigeration system
freezes at expansion valve orifice
and blocks refrigerant circulation1. Replace cooler drier
2. Remove moisture from cycle
by repeatedly evacuating air
3. Supply appropriate volume of
new refrigerant
I022117E17
Symptoms Probable Cause Diagnosis Corrective Actions
- Pressure low on both low and
high-pressure sides
- Cooling performance insufficientGas leakage from refrigeration
system- Insufficient refrigerant
- Refrigerant leakage1. Check for gas leakage and
repair if necessary
2. Supply appropriate volume of
new refrigerant
3. If indicated pressure value
close to 0 when connected to
gauge, create vacuum after
inspecting and repairing the
location of leakage

(4) The A/C system does not function effectively
due to poor circulation of the refrigerant.
(5) The A/C system does not function intermittently
because the refrigerant does not circulate.
(6) The A/C system does not function effectively
due to overcharged refrigerant or insufficient
cooling of the condenser.
Symptoms Probable Cause Diagnosis Corrective Actions
- Pressure low on both low and
high-pressure sides
- Frost exists on piping from
condenser to A/C unitRefrigerant flow obstructed by dirt
in condenserCondenser clogged Replace condenser
I022119E11
Symptoms Probable Cause Diagnosis Corrective Actions
- Vacuum indicated on low-
pressure side, and extremely low
pressure indicated on high-
pressure side
- Frost or condensation seen on
piping on both sides of condenser
or expansion valve- Refrigerant flow obstructed by
moisture or dirt in refrigeration
system
- Refrigerant flow obstructed by
gas leakage from expansion
valveRefrigerant does not circulate1. Check expansion valve
2. Clean expansion valve by
blowing air
3. Replace condenser
4. Evacuate air and charge
appropriate volume of new
refrigerant
5. For gas leakage from
expansion valve, replace
expansion valve

(7) The A/C system does not function due to air in
the refrigeration system.
CAUTION:
The low-pressure piping may be very hot
and cause serious burns.
(8) The A/C system does not function effectively
due to an expansion valve malfunction.
Symptoms Probable Cause Diagnosis Corrective Actions
Pressure extremely high on both
low and high-pressure sides- Excessive refrigerant
- Cooling performance of
condenser insufficient- Condenser is dirty
- Condenser fan motor is
malfunctioning
- Excessive refrigerant1. Clean condenser
2. Check condenser fan motor
operation
3. If 1 and 2 normal, check the
amount of refrigerant and supply
appropriate volume of refrigerant
Symptoms Probable Cause Diagnosis Corrective Actions
- Pressure extremely high on both
low and high-pressure sides
- The low-pressure piping is too
hot to touchAir in refrigeration system- Air in refrigeration system
- Vacuum purging insufficient1. Check if compressor oil is dirty
or insufficient
2. Evacuate air and charge new
refrigerant

Symptoms Probable Cause Diagnosis Corrective Actions
-Pressure extremely high on both
low and high-pressure sides
-Frost or condensation on piping
on low-pressure sideProblem with expansion valve- Excessive refrigerant in low

DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST
1. DATA LIST
HINT:
Using the intelligent tester to read the Data List allows
the values or states of switches, sensors, actuators and
other items to be read without removing any parts. This
non-intrusive inspection can be very useful because
intermittent conditions or signals may be discovered
before parts or wiring is disturbed. Reading the Data List
information early in troubleshooting is one way to save
diagnostic time.
(a) Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(c) From the display on the tester, read the "DATA
LIST".
