 O-rings are different from low-pressure pipe 1 (high-pressure pipe 2) and low-pressure pipe 2 (high-
pressure pipe 3).
 Mark the mounting position of intake sensor bracket prior to removal so that the reinstalled sensor
can be located in the same position.
 When recharging refrigerant, check for leaks.
Removal and Installation of Expansion ValveINFOID:0000000001328230
REMOVAL
1. Remove evaporator. Refer to ATC-137, "Removal and Installation of Evaporator".
2. Remove mounting bolts, and then remove expansion valve. CAUTION:
Cap or wrap the joint of evaporator with suitable material
such as vinyl tape to avoid the entry of air.
INSTALLATION
Installation is basically the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
 Replace O-rings of evaporator with new ones, and then apply compressor oil to it when installing it.
 O-rings are different from low-pressure pipe 1 (h igh-pressure pipe 2) and low-pressure pipe 2 (high-
pressure pipe 3).
 When recharging refrigerant, check for leaks.
Checking of Refrigerant LeaksINFOID:0000000001328231
Perform a visual inspection of all refrigeration parts, fittings, hoses and components for signs of A/C lubricant
leakage, damage and corrosion. A/C lubricant leakage ma y indicate an area of refrigerant leakage. Allow
extra inspection time in these areas when using either an electrical leak detector or fluorescent dye leak
detector (SST: J-42220).
If dye is observed, c onfirm the leak with an electrical leak detector. It is possible a prior leak was repaired and
not properly cleaned.
When searching for leaks, do not stop when one leak is found but continue to check for additional leaks at all
system components and connections.
When searching for refrigerant leaks using an electric al leak detector, move the probe along the suspected
leak area at 1 to 2 inches per second and no further than 1/4 inch from the component.
CAUTION:
Moving the electrical leak detector probe slower and closer to the suspected leak area will improve the
chances of finding a leak.
Checking System for Leaks Using the Fluore scent Leak DetectorINFOID:0000000001328232
1. Check A/C system for leaks using the UV lamp and safety goggles (SST: J-42220) in a low sunlight area
(area without windows preferable). Illuminate all co mponents, fittings and lines. The dye will appear as a
bright green/yellow area at the point of leakage. Fluorescent dye observed at the evaporator drain open-
ing indicates an evaporator core assembly (tubes, core or expansion valve) leak.
2. If the suspected area is difficult to see, use an adjustable mirror or wipe the area with a clean shop rag or
cloth, with the UV lamp for dye residue.
3. After the leak is repaired, remove any residual dye using dye cleaner (SST: J-43872) to prevent future
misdiagnosis. Low-pressure pipe 1 bracket mounting bolt

6. Do not stop when one leak is found. Continue to check for additional leaks at all system components.
If no leaks are found, perform steps 7 - 10.
7. Start the engine.
8. Set the A/C control as follows;
a. A/C switch: ON
b. Mode door position: VENT (Ventilation)
c. Intake position: Recirculation
d. Temperature setting: Max. cold
e. Fan speed: High
9. Run engine at 1,500 rpm for at least 2 minutes.
10. Stop the engine and perform leak check again following steps 4 through 6 above.
Refrigerant leaks should be chec ked immediately after stopping
the engine. Begin with the leak detector at the compressor. The
pressure on the high-pressure side will gradually drop after
refrigerant circulation stops and pressure on the low-pressure
side will gradually rise, as shown in the graph. Some leaks are
more easily detected when pressure is high.
11. Before connecting recovery/recycling recharging equipm ent to vehicle, check recovery/recycling recharg-
ing equipment gauges. No refrigerant pressure should be displayed. If pressure is displayed, recover
refrigerant from equipment lines and then check refrigerant purity.
12. Confirm refrigerant purity in supply tank using recovery/recycling recharging equipment and refrigerant
identifier.
13. Confirm refrigerant purity in vehicle A/C system us ing recovery/recycling recharging equipment and refrig-
erant identifier.
14. Discharge A/C system using approved refrigerant recove ry equipment. Repair the leaking fitting or com-
ponent if necessary.
15. Evacuate and recharge A/C system and perform the l eak test to confirm no refrigerant leaks.
16. Perform A/C performance test to ensure system works properly.

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
 Make sure that valves both in thermostat and water c ontrol valve are completely closing at normal tempera-
ture.
 Place a thread so that it is caught in the valves of the thermostat
and water control valve. Immerse fully in a container filled with
water. Heat while stirring. (The example in the figure shows ther-
mostat.)
 The valve opening temperature is the temperature at which the valve opens and falls from the thread.
 Continue heating. Check the maximum valve lift. NOTE:
The maximum valve lift standard temperature for water control
valve is the reference value.
 After checking the maximum valve lift, lower the water tempera-
ture and check the valve closing temperature.
Standard values:
 If the malfunctioning condition, when closing valve at nor mal temperature, or measured values are out of the
standard, replace thermostat and/or water control valve.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to spill engine coolant over en gine room. Use rag to absorb engine coolant.

Before replacing ECM, perform “ECM Terminals and Refer-
ence Value” inspection and m ake sure ECM functions prop-
erly. Refer to EC-109, "
ECM Terminal and Reference Value".
 Handle mass air flow sensor carefully to avoid damage.
 Do not disassemble mass air flow sensor.
 Do not clean mass air flow senso r with any type of detergent.
 Do not disassemble electric th rottle control actuator.
 Even a slight leak in the air intake system can cause serious
incidents.
 Do not shock or jar the camsh aft position sensor (PHASE),
crankshaft position sensor (POS).
 After performing each TROUBL E DIAGNOSIS, perform DTC
Confirmation Procedure or Overall Function Check.
The DTC should not be displ ayed in the DTC Confirmation
Procedure if the repair is completed. The Overall Function
Check should be a good result if the repair is completed.
 When measuring ECM signals with a circuit tester, never allow
the two tester probes to contact.
Accidental contact of probes will cause a short circuit and
damage the ECM power transistor.
 Do not use ECM ground termina ls when measuring input/out-
put voltage. Doing so may result in damage to the ECM's tran-
sistor. Use a ground other than ECM terminals, such as the
ground.
