Charging
Use only service equipment that is U.L.-listed and is cer-
tified to meet the requirements of SAE J2210 to remove
HFC-134a (R-134a) from the air conditioner system.
CAUTION: Exposure to air conditioner refrigerant and
lubricant vapor or mist can irritale eyes, nose and
throat. Avoid breathing the air conditioner retrigerant
and lubricant vaoor or mist,
lf accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate workarea before resuming service, Additional health and
safety information may be obtained from the refrigerant
and lubricant manufacturers.
Refrigerant capacityt 600 - 650 g 121.1 - 22.9 ozl
CAUnON: Do not overcharg€ the system; the comprcssor
will be damaged.
Connect a R-134a refrigerant recovery/recycling/charging
station to the vehicle, as shown, following the equipment
manufacturer's instructions.

Leak Test
Use only service equipment that is U.L,-listed and is cer-
tified to meet the requirements of SAE J2210 to remove
HFC-134a (R-134a) from the air conditioner system.
CAUTION: Exposure io air conditioner refrigerant and
lubricant vapot or mist can itritats eyes, no36 and thtoat.
Avoid breathing the air conditioner refrigeranl and lubri-
cant vapor or mist,
lf accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate workarea betore resuming service.
R-134a service equipment or vehicle air conditioner sys-
tems should not be pressure tested or leak tested with
comoressed air.
@ some mixtures of air and R-134a have
been shown to be combugtibls at elevatgd prossures
and can result in tire or explosion causing iniuly orplopgrty damage. Nev€r usc compre33od air to pressure
test R-13'la servica oquipment or yohiclo air conditionor
systems.
Additional health and safety information may be obtained
from the refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.
1. Connect a R-134a refrigerant recove rylrecycling/
charging station to the vehicle, as shown in the pre-
vious column, following the equipment manufactur-
er's instructions.
NOTE; Be sure to install the same amount of new
refrigerant oil back into the A,/C system before charg-In9.
Open the high-pressure valve to charge the system
to the specified capacity, then close the supply
valve, and remove the charging system couplers.
Rofrigerant capacity: 600 - 650 g (21.1 - 22.9 oz)
Check the system for leaks using a R-134a refriger-
ant leak detector with an accuracy of 14 9 10.5 ozlper yea. or better.
lf you find leaks that require the system to be opened(to repair or replace hoses. fittings. etc.), recover the
system according to the Recovery Procedure on page
22-27.
After checking and repairing leaks. the system must
be evacuated (see System Evacuation on page 22-451.

JArmature Inspection and Test
1.Inspect the armature for wear or damage due to con-
tact with the permanent magnet or field winding.
. lf there is wear or damage. replace the armature.
Inspect for damage.
2. Check commutator surface and diameter.
. lf the surface is dirty or burnt. resurface with emery
cloth or a lathe within the following specifications,
or recondition with #500 or #600 sandpaper.
. lf commutator diameter is below the service limit,
replace the armature.
Commutator Diameter

3. Measure the commutator runout.
. lf the commutator runout is within the service
limit, check the commutator for carbon dust or
brass chips betlveen the segments.
. lf the commutator runout is not within the ser-
vice limit, replace the armature.

6. Place the armature on an armature tester. Hold a
hacksaw blade on the armature core.
ARMATURE TESTER
. lf the blade is attracted to the core or vibrates
while the core is turned, the armature is shorted.
Replace the armature.
7. Check with an ohmmeter that no continuity exists
between the commutator and armature coil core,
and between the commutator and armature shaft. lf
there is continuity, replace the armature.

JBrush Holder Test
1. Check that there is no continuity between the O and
o brush holders.
lf there is continuity, replace the brush holder
assemoly.

2. Insert the brush into the brush holder, and b.ing the
brush into contact with the commutator, then attach
a spring scale to the spring. Measure the spring ten-
sion at the moment the spring lifts off the brush.

Brush Inspection
Measure the brush length. lf not within the service limit,
replace the brush (or brush holder assembly).
Brush Length
NOTE: To seat new brushes after installing them in their
holders, slip a strip ot #500 or #600 sandpaper. with the
grit side up, over the commutator and smoothly rotate
the armature. The contact surface of the brushes will be
sanded to the same contour as the commutator.
Overrunning Clutch lnspection
Slide the overrunning clutch along the shaft. Does it
move freely? lf not, replace it.
Rotate the overrunning clutch both ways. Does it
lock in one direction and rotate smoothly in
reverse? lf it does not lock in either direction or it
locks in both directions, replace it.

-lgnition Timing Inspection and Setting
1.Check the idle speed, and adjust it it necessary (see
section 'l '1 ).
Pull out the service check connector 2P (BRN and BLK
wires) from the connector holder located under the
dash on the front passenger side, then connect the
SCS service connector (T/N 07PAZ - 0010'100) to it.
Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3.000 rpm with
no load {A,/T in E or E. M/T in neutral) until the
radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.
Connect the timing light to the No. 1 ignition wire,
then point the light toward the pointer on the timing
belt cover.
Check the ignition timing in no load conditions:
headlights. blower fan, rear window defogger, and
air conditioner are not operating.

6. Adjust the ignition timing if necessary, as follows.
Loosen the distributor mounting bolts. and turn the
distributor ignition (Dl) housing counterclockwise to
advance the timing, or clockwise to retard the tim-
ing.
MOUNTING BOLTS18 N'm (1.8 kgfm, 13lblftl
Tighten the distributor mounting bolts, and recheck
the ignition timing.
Disconnect the SCS service connector from the ser-
vice check connector.

JRotor Slip Ring Test
1. Check the resistance betlveen the slip rings
There should be 1 8 - 3 0 ohms
. lf resistance meets the specification, go to step 2.
. lf resistance does not meet the specification,
reolace the alternator'
SLIP BINGS
2. Check that there is no continuity between the slip
rings and the rotor or rotor shaft.
3. lf the rotor fails either continuity check, replace the
alternator.
Stator Test
'1. Check that there is continuity between each pair of
leads.
CORE
Check that there is no continuity between each lead
and the coil core.
lf the coil fails either continuity check, replace the
alternator.
