A/C PRESSURE SWITCHCOMPRESSOR
When the refrigerant pressure is below 200 kPa (2.0
kgllcm,, 28 psi) due to refrigerant leakage or above 3,'100kPa (32 kgtcm,,460 psi) due to relrigerant blockage, theA,/C pressure sw;tch opens the circuit to the A,/C switch andstops the air conditioning to protect the compressor.

This vehicle uses HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant which does not contain chlorofluorocarbons. Pay attention to the follow-ing service items:
. Do not mix refrigerants CFC-12 (R-12) and HFC-134a (R-134a). They are not compatible.. Use only the recommended polyalkyleneglycol (PAG) refrigerant oil (ND-OIL 8: P/N 38897-PR7-A01AH or 38899-PR7-A01) designed for the R-134a compressor. Intermixing the recommended (PAG) refrigerant oil with any other refriger-ant oil will result in compressor failure.
. All AVC system parts (compressor, discharge line, suction line. evaporator, condenser, receiver/dryer, expansion valve.O-rings for joints) have to be proper for refrigerant R-134a. Do not confuse with R-12 parts.
. Use a halogen gas leak detector designed for refrigerant R-134a.. R-12 and R-134a refrigerant servicing equipment are not interchangeable. Use only a Recovery/Recycling/ChargingSystem that is U.L.-listed and is certified to meet the requirements of SAE J2210 to service R-134a air conditioning sys-tems.
. Always recover the refrigerant R-134a with an approved Recovery/Recycling/Charging System before disconnectingany Ay'C fitting.

Troubleshooting
Reference Chart
. Any abnormality must be corrected before continuing the test.. Because of the precise measurements needed, use a multimeter when testing.
Before performing any troubleshooting procedures check:. Fuses No, 56 (20 A), No. 57 (20 A) in the under-hood fuse/relay box, and No. 17 {7.5 A) in rhe under-dash fuse/relay box.. Grounds No. G401, G201, G151, G101. Cleanliness and tightness of all connectors
