A/C System Service
Evacuation
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 svstem.
CAUTION: Exposure to air conditioner refrigerant and
lubricant vapor or mist can irtitate eyes, nose and
throat. Avoid breathing the air conditioner refrigerant
and lubricant vapor or mist.
lf accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work
area before resuming service.
R-134a service equipment or vehicle air conditioner sys-
tems should not be pressure tested or leak tested with
compressed air.
!@@l some mixtures ot air and R-t3ita have
been shown to be combustible at elevated pressures
and can result in fire of explosion causing injury orproperty damage. Never use compressed air to pressure
test R-134a service equipment or vehicle air conditionet
svstems.
Additional health and safety information may be obtained
from the refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.
When an A"/C Svstem has been ooened to the atmo-
sphere, such as during installation or repair, it must
be evacuated using a R-134a refrigerant Recovery/
Recycling/Charging System. (lf the system has been
open for several days, the receiver/dryer should bereplaced, and the system should be evacuated for
several hours.)
Connect a R-134a refrigerant Recovery/Recycling/
Charging System to the vehicle, as shown, follow-
ing the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
NOTE: lf low pressure does not reach more than
93.3 kPa (700 mm H9,27.6 in.Hg) in 15 minures,
there is probably a leak in the system. Partially
charge the system, and check for leaks (see Leak
Test).

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
charging.
Open high pressure valve to charge the system to
the specified capacity, then close the supply valve,
and remove the charging system couplers.

Check the system for leaks using a R-134a refriger-
ant leak detector with an accuracy of 14 g (0.5 oz)
per year or better.
lf you find leaks that require the system to be
opened (to repair or replace houses. fittings, etc.),
recover the system according to the Recover
Procedure on page 22-22.
After checking and repairing leaks, the system must
be evacuated (see System Evacuation on page 22-
38).
JUse only service equipment that is U.L.-listed and is cer-

Troubleshooting
Tips and Precautions
Never try to disconnect connectors by pulling on their
wires; pull on lhe connector halves instead.
Alwavs reinstall Dlastic covers.
Before connecting connectors, make sure the termi-
nals are in Dlace and not bent.
a Check lor loose retainer and rubber seals.
The backs of some connectors are packed with
grease. Add grease if needed. lf the grease is contami-
nated, reolace it.

RETAINER
K
Bef ore Troubleshooting
a Check applicable tuses in the appropriate fuse/relay
box.
Check the battery for damage, state of charge, and
clean and tight connections.
Check the alternator belt tension.
CAUTION:
a Do not quick-charge a battely unless the battery
ground cable has been disconnected. otherwise
you will damage the alternator diod€s.
a Do not attempt to crank the engine with the bat-
tery ground cable loosely connected or you willse-
verely damage the wiring.
a The originsl radio has a coded theft plotection cir-
cuit. Be sure to get the customel's code numbel
before- disconnecting the battsry.- removing the No. 47 (7.5 A) fuse from tho
under-hood luse/relay box.- removing the radio.
Atter service. leconnect Dower to the radio and
tum it on. When the word "CODE" is displayed,
enter the customer's 5-digit code to restore radio
ooeration.
Handling Connectors
a Make sure the connectors are clean and have no loose
wire terminals.
a Make sure multiple cavity connectors are packed with
grease (except watertight connectors).
a All connectors have push-down release type locks.
LOCKING TAB
LOCKING TAB
Some connectors have a clip on their side used to at-
tach them to a mount bracket on the body or on
another component. This clip has a pull type lock.
Some mounted connectors cannot be disconnected
unless you tirst release the lock and remove the con-
nector from its bracket.

Battery
a Battery fluid (electrolytel contains sulfuric acid. lt may causo severe burns if it gsts on yout skin or in your eyes.Wear piotective clothing and a face shield.- ll electrolyte gets on your skin or clothes, rinse it ofl with water immediately.- lf electlolyte gets in your eyes, tlush it out by splashing water in your eyes for at least 15 minutes; call a physicianimmediately.
a A battery gives off hydlogen gas. lf ignited, the hydrogen will explode and could crack the battery case and splatte.acid on you. K6ep sparks, flames, and cigarettes away from the battery.a Overchalging will raisc the temperatulg of the electrolyte. This may force electrolyte to spray out ol the battery vents.Follow the chatge. manutacturer's instructions and charge the baftely at a ptope. rate.
NOTE: The original radio has a coded theft protection circuit. lf service to the car requires any of the tollowing, be sureto get the customer's code number before- disconnecting the battery.- removing No. 47 (7.5 A) fuse from the under-hood fuse/relay box.- removing the radio.
After service, reconnect power to the radio and turn it on. When the word "CODE" is displayed, enter tne customer's5-digit code to restore radio operation,
Use either a JCI or Bear ARBST tester, and follow the manufacturer's procedures. lf you don't have one of these com-puterazed testers, follow this conventional test Drocedure:To get accurate results, the temperature of the electrolyte must be between 70'F {21oC} and IOOoF (38oC).
lf the case is cracked or the posts are loose,
reDlace the batterv.
lf the indicator shows low electrolyte, add
distilled water if possible.
Test Load Capacity (# 1l
. Apply 3O0 amp load for 15 seconds to remove
surface charge.. Allow 15 seconds recovery period.. Apply test load {see Test Load Chart).. Record voltage at the end of l5 seconds.
Voltage stays above 9.6
volts: The battery is OK.
