 Never release refrigerant into the air. Use appr oved recovery/recycling equipment to capture the
refrigerant every time an air co nditioning system is discharged.
 Always wear eye and hand protection (goggles and gloves) when working with any refrigerant or air
conditioning system.
 Never store or heat refrigerant containers above 52 °C (126 °F).
 Never heat a refrigerant container with an open flame; if container warming is required, place the
bottom of the container in a warm pail of water.
 Never intentionally drop, puncture, or incinerate refrigerant containers.
 Keep refrigerant away from open flames: poison ous gas will be produced if refrigerant burns.
 Refrigerant will displace oxygen, therefore be certa in to work in well ventilated areas to prevent suf-
focation.
 Never pressure test or leak test HFC-134a (R-134a) service equipment and/or vehicle air conditioning
systems with compressed air during repair. Some mixtures of air and HFC-134a (R-134a) have been
shown to be combustible at elevat ed pressures. These mixtures, if ig nited, may cause injury or prop-
erty damage. Additional health a nd safety information may be obtain ed from refrigerant manufactur-
ers.
Precaution for Refrigerant ConnectionINFOID:0000000001328155

ABOUT ONE-TOUCH JOINT
Description
 One-touch joints are pipe joints which do not require tools during piping connection.
 Unlike conventional connection methods using union nuts and flanges, controlling tightening torque at con-
nection point is not necessary.
 When removing a pipe joint, use a disconnector.

FEATURES OF NEW TYPE REFRIGERANT CONNECTION
 The O-ring has been relocated. It has also been provided with a groove for proper installation. This elimi- nates the possibility of the O-ring being caught in, or damaged by, the mating part. The sealing direction of
the O-ring is now set vertically in relation to the c ontacting surface of the mating part to improve sealing
characteristics.
 The reaction force of the O-ring will not occur in the dire ction that causes the joint to pull out, thereby facili-
tating piping connections.

CAUTION:
When replacing or cleaning refrigerant cycle components, observe the following.
 When the compressor is removed, store it in the sam e way at it is when mounted on the car. Failure
to do so will cause lubricant to enter the low-pressure chamber.
 When connecting tubes, always use a to rque wrench and a back-up wrench.
 After disconnecting tubes, immediately plug all op enings to prevent entry of dust and moisture.
 When installing an air conditioner in the vehicle, connect the pipes at the final stage of the operation.
Never remove the seal caps of pipes and other compon ents until just before required for connection.
 Allow components stored in cool areas to warm to working area temperature before removing seal
caps. This prevents condensation from forming inside A/C components.
 Thoroughly remove moisture from the refriger ation system before charging the refrigerant.
 Always replace used O-rings.
 When connecting tubes, apply lubricant to circle of the O-rings shown in illustration. Be careful not
to apply lubricant to threaded portion.
 O-ring must be closely att ached to the groove of tube.
 When replacing the O-ring, be careful not to damage O-ring and tube.
 Connect tube until a click can be heard, then tighten the nut or bolt by hand. Make sure that the O-
ring is installed to tube correctly.
 After connecting line, perform leak test and make sure that there is no leakage from connections.
When the refrigerant leaking point is found, disconnect that line and replace the O-ring. Then tighten
connections of seal seat to the specified torque.
Precaution for Service of CompressorINFOID:0000000001328156
 Plug all openings to prevent moisture and foreign matter from entering.
 When the compressor is removed, store it in th e same way at it is when mounted on the car.
 When replacing or repairing compressor, follow “Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in Compressor”
exactly. Refer to ATC-22, "
Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in Compressor".
 Keep friction surfaces between clut ch and pulley clean. If the surface is contaminated with lubricant,
wipe it off by using a clean w aste cloth moistened with thinner.
 After compressor service operation, turn the compr essor shaft by hand more than five turns in both
directions. This will equally dist ribute lubricant inside the compressor. After the compressor is
installed, let the engine idle and operate the compressor for one hour.
 After replacing the compressor magnet clutch, ap ply voltage to the new one and check for normal
operation.

Never attempt to connect HFC-134a (R-134a) service couplers to a
CFC-12 (R-12) A/C system. T he HFC-134a (R-134a) couplers will
not properly connect to the CFC-12 (R-12) system. However, if an
improper connection is attempted, discharging and contamination
may occur.
REFRIGERANT WEIGHT SCALE
Verify that no refrigerant other than HFC-134a (R-134a) and speci-
fied lubricants have been used with the scale. If the scale controls
refrigerant flow electronically, the hose fitting must be 1/2
″-16 ACME.
CHARGING CYLINDER
Using a charging cylinder is not recommended. Refrigerant may be vented into air from cylinder’s top valve
when filling the cylinder with refrigerant. Also, the accura cy of the cylinder is generally less than that of an
electrical scale or of quality recycle/recharge equipment.
Precaution for Leak Detection DyeINFOID:0000000001328158
 The A/C system contains a fluorescent leak detection dy e used for locating refrigerant leaks. An ultraviolet
(UV) lamp is required to illuminate the dye when inspecting for leaks.
 Always wear fluorescence enhancing UV safety goggles to protect your eyes and enhance the visibility of
the fluorescent dye.
 The fluorescent dye leak detector is not a replacement for an electrical leak detector (SST: J-41995). The flu-
orescent dye leak detector should be used in conjunc tion with an electrical leak detector (SST: J-41995) to
pin-point refrigerant leaks.
 For the purpose of safety and customer’s satisfacti on, read and follow all manufacture’s operating instruc-
tions and precautions prior to performing the work.
 A compressor shaft seal should not necessarily be re paired because of dye seepage. The compressor shaft
seal should only be repaired after confirming the l eak with an electrical leak detector (SST: J-41995).
 Always remove any remaining dye from the leak area after repairs are completed to avoid a misdiagnosis during a future service.
 Never allow dye to come into contact with painted body panels or interior components. If dye is spilled, clean
immediately with the approved dye cleaner. Fluorescent dye left on a surface for an extended period of time
cannot be removed.
 Never spray the fluorescent dye cleaning agent on hot surfaces (engine exhaust manifold, etc.).
 Never use more than one refrigerant dye bot tle (1/4 ounce /7.4 cc) per A/C system.
 Leak detection dyes for HFC-134a (R-134a) and CFC-12 (R-12) A/C systems are different. Never use HFC-
134a (R-134a) leak detection dye in CFC-12 (R-12) A/ C system, or CFC-12 (R-12) leak detection dye in
HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system, or A/C system damage may result.
 The fluorescent properties of the dye will remain for thr ee years or a little over unless a compressor malfunc-
tion occurs.
IDENTIFICATION
NOTE:
Vehicles with factory installed fluorescent dye have a green label.
Vehicles without factory installed fluorescent dye have a blue label.

2. When testing, circle each fitting completely with probe.
3. Move probe along component approximately 25 to 50 mm (1 to2 in)/sec.
CHECKING PROCEDURE
To prevent inaccurate or false readings, make sure t here is no refrigerant vapor, shop chemicals, or cigarette
smoke in the vicinity of the vehicle. Perform the leak test in calm area (low air/wind movement) so that the
leaking refrigerant is not dispersed.
1. Stop the engine.
2. Connect a suitable A/C manifold gauge set (SST: J-39183) to the A/C service valves.
3. Check if the A/C refrigerant pressu re is at least 345 kPa (3.52 kg/cm
2, 50 psi) above 16°C (61 °F). If less
than specification, recover/evacuate and recharge t he system with the specified amount of refrigerant.
NOTE:
At temperatures below 16 °C (61 °F), leaks may not be detected since the system may not reach 345 kPa
(3.52 kg/cm
2, 50 psi).
4. Perform the leak test from the high-pressure side (compressor discharge a to evaporator inlet h) to the
low-pressure side [evaporator drain hose i to shaft seal o (VK45DE) or n (VQ35DE)]. Refer to ATC-121,
"Component". Perform a leak check for the following areas carefully. Clean the component to be checked
and move the leak detected probe comp letely around the connection/component.
Compressor
Check the fitting of high- and low-pressure flexible hoses, relief valve and shaft seal.
Condenser
Check the fitting of high-pressure flexible hose and pipe, refrigerant pressure sensor.
Liquid tank
Check the fitting of refrigerant connection.
Service valves
Check all around the service valves. Ensure service va lve caps are secured on the service valves (to pre-
vent leaks).
NOTE:
After removing A/C manifold gauge set from service va lves, wipe any residue from valves to prevent any
false readings by leak detector.
Cooling unit (Evaporator)
With engine OFF, turn blower fan on “High” for at leas t 15 seconds to dissipate any refrigerant trace in the
cooling unit. Wait a minimum of 10 minutes accumulation time (refer to the manufacturer’s recommended
procedure for actual wait time) before inserti ng the leak detector probe into the drain hose.
Keep the probe inserted for at least 10 seconds. Use c aution not to contaminate the probe tip with water
or dirt that may be in the drain hose.
5. If a leak detector detects a leak, verify at least once by blowing compressed air into area of suspected
leak, then repeat check as outlined above.

SQUEAK AND RATTLE TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Most of these incidents can be repaired by adjusting, securing or insulating the item(s) or component(s) caus-
ing the noise.
SUNROOF/HEADLINING
Noises in the sunroof/headlining area c an often be traced to one of the following:
1. Sunroof lid, rail, linkage or seals making a rattle or light knocking noise
2. Sunvisor shaft shaking in the holder
3. Front or rear windshield touching headlining and squeaking
Again, pressing on the components to stop the noise while duplicating the conditions can isolate most of these
incidents. Repairs usually consist of insulating with felt cloth tape.
SEATS
When isolating seat noise it's important to note the pos ition the seat is in and the load placed on the seat when
the noise is present. These conditions should be dupl icated when verifying and isolating the cause of the
noise.
Cause of seat noise include:
1. Headrest rods and holder
2. A squeak between the seat pad cushion and frame
3. The rear seatback lock and bracket
These noises can be isolated by moving or pressing on the suspected components while duplicating the con-
ditions under which the noise occurs. Most of thes e incidents can be repaired by repositioning the component
or applying urethane tape to the contact area.
UNDERHOOD
Some interior noise may be caused by components under the hood or on the engine wall. The noise is then
transmitted into the passenger room.
Causes of transmitted underhood noise include:
1. Any component mounted to the engine wall
2. Components that pass through the engine wall
3. Engine wall mounts and connectors
4. Loose radiator mounting pins
5. Hood bumpers out of adjustment
6. Hood striker out of adjustment
These noises can be difficult to isolate since they cannot be reached from the interior of the vehicle. The best
method is to secure, move or insulate one component at a time and test drive the \
vehicle. Also, engine RPM
or load can be changed to isolate the noise. Repairs can usually be made by moving, adjusting, securing, or
insulating the component causing the noise.
