Note
1. Notes that are necessary for steering system:
(a) It is necessary to change parts correctly, for they will influence the performance of steering system to
make running danger.
2. Notes that are necessary for SRS airbag:
(a) MR7180 assembles with SRS (auxiliary protection system) such as safety airbag at the side of driver
and safety airbag at the side of passenger.
Maintenance does not accord with correct repair step, this might incur SRS explodes suddenly in
repair term to make heavy accident. Before repairing auxiliary protection system (including
disassembling, assembling, check or change parts), it is necessary to read the notes in SRS chapter
(auxiliary protection system).

Note
1. Do not dispose Refrigerant in sealed space or near
flame.
2. Wear glasses to protect your eyes.
3. Do not let liquid Refrigerant contact with your eyes
or skin.
If liquid Refrigerant contacts with your eyes or skin:
(a) Wash the contacted part with much water.
Warning: do not knead your eyes or skin.
(b) Spread clean Vaseline on your skin.
(c) Go to doctor or hospital for special cure.
4. Forbid heating it or making it expose the flame.
5. Forbid dropping the Refrigerant tank or shake it
intensively.
6. Do not operate compressor when Refrigerant is lack.
If the Refrigerant in cooling system is lack, it will incur com-
pressor burned out for lacking lubrication. So it is necessary
to avoid.
7. Do not open the high pressure valve of filling instru-
ment package when compressor is working.
If opening the valve at this time, Refrigerant will flow back into
refrigerant tank to incur the tank will break. So only the low
pressure valve could be opened or closed.
8. Do not fill Refrigerant too much.
Too much refrigerant will make many problems such as lack
cooling degree, oil consumption, too hot engine and so on.
Inspection on automobile
1. Check the No.1 pressure switch.
(a) Control for electromagnetic clutch:
Check the function of pressure switch.
(1) Assembly filling instrument package.
(2) Connect the anode lead of OUM meter to No. 4 termi-
nal and connect cathode lead to No. 1 terminal.
(3) Liking that shown in figure. When refrigerant pressure
is changed, check the conduction between terminals.

State: cooling degree is not enough.
zThe pressure of high and

zPipeline of low pressure
end is too hot to contact.
zThere is bubble on
window.Air enters cooling system. (1)Check whether the Re-
frigerant oil is too dirt or

(2)Take our vacuum and fill

zThere is air in cooling

zIt does not take out
vacuum completely.
Phenomenon Possible reason Diagnose Method
State: cooling degree is not enough.(6) Refrigerant is too much or the radiating fin of condenser is bad
(7) Air enters cooling system
Note: i f cooling system is
opened, and it does not
take out vacuum when
filling refrigerant, this
state will happen.

Change
1. Reclaim HFC-134a (R134a)
(a) Turn A/C switch to ON.
(b) Keep the engine speed at 1000 rpm, and rotate cooling compressor for 5 to 6 minutes to make
refrigerant cycle, this could collect the Refrigerant oil in each part in cooling compressor as possible.
(c) Extinguish the engine.
(d) Drain the refrigerant.
2. Fill refrigerant
(a) Use vacuum pump to take out vacuum.
(b) Fill the refrigerant HFC-134a (R134a)
Standard quantity: 660 ± 10g
3. Heat the engine
4. Check whether the refrigerant leaks.
