PRECAUTIONS
Be certain to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for machine operation and machine maintenance. Never
introduce any refrigerant other than that specified into the machine.
ELECTRICAL LEAK DETECTOR
Be certain to follow the manufacturer’s instruct ions for tester operation and tester maintenance.
VACUUM PUMP
The lubricant contained inside the vacuum pump is not compatible
with the specified lubricant for HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C systems.
The vent side of the vacuum pump is exposed to atmospheric pres-
sure. So the vacuum pump lubricant may migrate out of the pump
into the service hose. This is pos sible when the pump is switched off
after evacuation (vacuuming) and hose is connected to it.
To prevent this migration, use a manual valve placed near the hose-
to-pump connection, as follows.
 Usually vacuum pumps have a manual isolator valve as part of the pump. Close this valve to isolat e the service hose from the pump.
 For pumps without an isolator, use a hose equipped with a manual
shut-off valve near the pump end. Close the valve to isolate the
hose from the pump.
 If the hose has an automatic shut -off valve, disconnect the hose
from the pump. As long as the hos e is connected, the valve is open
and lubricating oil may migrate.
Some one-way valves open when vacuum is applied and close
under no vacuum condition. Such valves may restrict the pump’s
ability to pull a deep vacuum and are not recommended.
MANIFOLD GAUGE SET
Be certain that the gauge face indicates HFC-134a or R-134a. Be
sure the gauge set has 1/2 ″-16 ACME threaded connections for ser-
vice hoses. Confirm the set has been used only with refrigerant
HFC-134a (R-134a) and specified lubricants.
SERVICE HOSES
Be certain that the service hoses display the markings described
(colored hose with black stripe). All hoses must include positive shut-
off devices (either manual or aut omatic) near the end of the hoses
opposite to the manifold gauge.

PREPARATION
Refrigerant container fittings, service hose fittings and service equipment fittings (equipment which handles
refrigerant and/or lubricant) are different between CF C-12 (R-12) and HFC-134a (R-134a). This is to avoid
mixed use of the refrigerants/lubricant.
Never use adapters that convert one size fitting to another: refrigerant/lubricant contamination occurs and
compressor malfunction may result.

Operation
1. Control Valve
- By changing high-pressure valve lift amount, built-in electronic control valve executes the following:
 Controls high-pressure valve discharge amount.
 Changes crankcase pressure in compressor.
 Changes angle of wobble (swash) plate.
- Amount of high-pressure valve lift is determined by factors below.
 Low-pressure applied to diaphragm
 Spring load of set spring
 Balance of magnetic force generated in magnet coil
- Electronic control valve (ECV) magnet coil receives
electric signal (duty control) from unified meter and A/
C amp. Then, magnetic force generated by electric cu rrent is changed to control high-pressure valve lift
amount.
2. Maximum Cooling
High-pressure valve is closed by magnetic force gener ated by electric signal sent from unified meter and
A/C amp. At this time, cylinder moves full stroke due to pressure balance between inside crankcase (Pc)
and suction line (Ps).
Under this condition, the wobble (swash) plat e is set to the maximum stroke position.
3. Capacity Control When no electric signal is sent from unified meter and A/C amp. (current: OFF), high-pressure valve is
opened by spring force.
Since suction pressure is low, it makes the su ction port close and the discharge port open. Thus, crank-
case pressure becomes high as high-pressure enters the crankcase.
- The force acts around the journal pin near the wobble (swash) plate, and is generated by the pressure dif-
ference before and behind the piston.
- The drive lug and journal pin are located where t he piston generates the highest pressure. Piston pres-
sure is between suction pressure Ps and discharge pressu re Pd, which is close to suction pressure Ps. If
crankcase pressure Pc rises due to capacity contro l, the force around the journal pin makes the wobble
(swash) plate angle decrease and also the piston stroke decrease. In other words, crankcase pressure

LUBRICANT
LUBRICANT
Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in CompressorINFOID:0000000001328166
The lubricant in the compressor circulates through the system with the refrigerant. Add lubricant to compres-
sor when replacing any component or after a large refriger ant leakage occurred. It is important to maintain the
specified amount.
If lubricant quantity is not maintained properly, the following malfunctions may result:
 Lack of lubricant: May lead to a seized compressor.
 Excessive lubricant: Inadequate cooling (thermal exchange interference)
LUBRICANT
LUBRICANT RETURN OPERATION
Adjust the lubricant quantity according to the test group shown below.
1.CHECK LUBRICANT RETURN OPERATION
Can lubricant return operation be performed?
 A/C system works properly.
 There is no evidence of a lar ge amount of lubricant leakage.
CAUTION:
If excessive lubricant leakage is noted, never perform the lubricant return operation.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> GO TO 3.
2.PERFORM LUBRICANT RETURN OPERATION, PROCEEDING AS FOLLOWS
1. Start the engine, and set to the following conditions:
- Engine speed: Idling to 1,200 rpm
- A/C switch: ON
- Blower speed: Max. position
- Temp. control: Optional [Set so that intake air temperature is 25 to 30 °C (77 to 86 °F).]
- Intake position: Recirculation (REC)
2. Perform lubricant return operation for about 10 minutes.
3. Stop the engine.
>> GO TO 3.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Brush-Less Motor
The blower motor utilizes a brush-less motor with a rotating magnet.
Quietness is improved over previous motors where the brush was
the point of contact and the coil rotated.
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE FOR BLOWER MOTOR
SYMPTOM: Blower motor operation is malfunctioning.
1.CHECK POWER SUPPLY FOR BLOWER MOTOR
1. Disconnect blower motor connector.
2. Turn ignition switch ON.
3. Check voltage between blower motor harness connector M78 terminal 1 and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> Check power supply circuit and 15A fuses [Nos. 10 and 11, located in the fuse block (J/B)]. Refer to PG-
77.
 If fuses are OK, check harness for open circuit. Repair or replace if necessary.
 If fuses are NG, check harness fo r short circuit and replace fuse.
2.CHECK BLOWER MOTOR GROUND CIRCUIT
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Check continuity between blower motor harness connector M78 terminal 3 and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 3.
NG >> Repair harness or connector.
3.CHECK CIRCUIT CONTINUITY BETWEEN BLOWER MOTOR AND UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP.
1. Disconnect unified meter and A/C amp. connector.
