A/C Service Tips and Precautions
The air conditioner system uses HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant and polyalkyleneglycol (PAG) refrigerant oil*, which are not
compatible with CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and mineral oil. Do not use R-12 refrigerant or mineral oil in this system, and do
not attempt to use R-12 servicing equipmenU damage to the air conditioner system or your servicing equipment will result.*Sanden SP-10:
. P/N 38897 - P13 - A0lAH: 120 ml 14ll.oz, 4.2lmp.oz)
. P/N 38899 - P13 - A0l | 40 mf 11 1/3ll.oz,1.4 lmp'oz)
Use only service equipment that is U.L. listed and is certified to meet the requirements of SAE J2210 to remove R 134a
from the air conditioner system.
CAUTION: Exposure to air conditioner ref;ige;ant and lubricant vapol or mist can irritate syes, nose and throat, Avoid
breathing the air conditioner refrigerant and lubricant vapor or misl.
lf accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming service.
R-'134a service equipment or vehicle air conditioner systems should not be pressure tested or leak tested with compressed
ai.
!@@ some mixtures of air and R-t3ila have been shown to be combustible at elevated pressures and can result
in tire or explosion causing iniury or property damage. Never use compressed air lo pressure tesl R-134a service equip-
ment or vehicle 8ir conditioner systoms.
Additional health and safety information may be obtained from the refrigerant and Iubricant manufacturers.
L Always disconnect the negative cable from the battery whenever replacing air conditioning pans.
2. Keep moisture and dust out of the system. When disconnecting any lines, plug or cap the fittings immediately; don't
remove the caps or plugs until just before you reconnect each line.
3. Before connecting any hose or line, apply a few drops of refrigerant oilto the O-ring.
4, When tightening o. loosening a fitting, use a second wrench to support the matching fitting.
5. When discharging the system, use a R-134a refrigerant recovery/recycling/charging station; don't release refrigerant
into the atmosphere,
6. Add refrigerant oil after replacing the following parts:
NOTE:
. To avoid contamination, do not return the oil to the container once dispensed, and never mix it with other refriger-
ant oils.
. lmmediately after using the oil, replace the cap on the container, and seal it to avoid moisture absorption.
. Do not spill the refrigerant oil on the vehicle; it may damage the paint; if the refrigerant oil contacts the paint, wash
it off immediately.

the following items.
. lf you're installing a new compressor, drain all
the refrigerant oil from the removed compressor,
and measure its volume. Subtract the volume of
drained oil from '130m? 14 1/3 tl'o2,4 6 lmp'oz);
the result is the amount of oil you should drain

. Replace the O-rings with new ones at each fit-
ting, and apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil
before installing them
NOTE: Be sure to use the right O-rings for HFC-
134a (R-134a) to avoid leakage
. Use refrigerant oil (SP-10) for R-134a Sanden and
Hadsys spiral type compressors only'
o To avoid contamination, do not return the oil to
the container once dispensed, and never mix it
with other refrigerant oils.
. lmmediatelY after using the oil, replace the cap
on the container, and seal it to avoid moisture

. Do not spill the refrigerant oil on the vehicle; it
may damage the painu if the refrigerant oil con-
tacts the paint, wash it off immediately
. Adjust the Ay'C compressor belt (see page 22-43)

1. Wrap aluminum foil around the tip of the tester
probe as shown.
Touch one tester orobe to the window antenna ter-
minal near, and move the other tester probe along
the antenna wires to check that continuity exists.

Window Antenna Wire Repair
NOTE: To make an effective repair, the broken section
must be no longer than one inch.
1. Lightly rub the area around the broken section with
fine steel wool, then clean it with alcohol.
2. Carefully mask above and below the broken portion
of the window antenna wire with cellophane tape.
CELLOPHANETAPE
Using a small brush, apply a heavy coat of silver
conductive paint extending about 1/8" on both
sides of the break, Allow 30 minutes to dry.
NOTE| Thoroughly mix the paint betore use.
Check for continuity in the repaired wire.
Apply a second coat of paint in the same way. Let it
dry three hours before removing the tape.

CAUTION: Bs careful nol to scralch or damage the defog-
ger wires with the tester probe,

body ground with the ignition switch and defogger
switch ON.

2. Check for continuity between the negative terminal
and body ground.
lf there is no continuity, check for an open in the
defogger ground wire.
Touch the voltmeter positive probe to the halfway
point of each defogger wire, and the negative probe
to the negative terminal.
There should be approximately 6 V with the ignition
switch and the defogger switch ON.

Precautions/Procedu res
SRS Unit Precautions
Take extra care when painting or doing body work inthe area below the dashboard. Avoid direct exDosureof the SRS unit or wiring to heat guns, welding. orsprayang equipment.
Disconnect the airbag connector(s) before discon-necting SRS harness connectors (see page24-1|1J.
After any degree of frontal body damage, or after acollision without airbag deployment, inspect the SRSunit for physical damage. lf it is dented. cracked, ordeformed, replace it.
Be sure the SRS unit is installed securely.
Do not disassemble the SRS unit.
Store the SRS unit in a cool (less than about 104.F/40"C) and dry (less than 80% humidity, no moisture)place. Do not spill water or oil on the SRS unit, andkeep it away from dust.
During installation or replacement, be careful not tobump (impact wrench, hammer, etc.) the area aroundthe SRS unit. The airbag(s) could accidentally deptoyand cause damage or injury.
24-8
Inspection After Deployment
After a collision ln which the airbag(s) was (were)
deployed, replace the SRS unit, and inspect the following:
1. Inspect all the SRS wire harnesses. Replace. don,trepair, any damaged harnesses.
2. Inspect the cable reel for heat damage. lf there is anydamage, replace the cable reel.
3. After the vehicle is completely repaired, turn theignition switch on. lf the SRS indicator light comeson for about six seconds and then goes off. the SRSsystem is OK. lf the indicator light does not functionproperly, go to SRS Troubleshooting.
