Special Service ToolsEJS002BP
The actual shapes of Kent-Moore tools may differ from those of special service tools illustrated here.
HFC-134a (R-134a) Service Tools and EquipmentEJS002BQ
Never mix HFC-134a refrigerant and/or its specified lubricant with CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and/or its lubri-
cant.
Separate and non-interchangeable service equipment must be used for handling each type of refrigerant/lubri-
cant.
Refrigerant container fittings, service hose fittings and service equipment fittings (equipment which handles
refrigerant and/or lubricant) are different between CFC-12 (R-12) and HFC-134a (R-134a). This is to avoid
mixed use of the refrigerants/lubricant.
Adapters that convert one size fitting to another must never be used refrigerant/lubricant contamination will
occur and compressor failure will result.

COMPONENT INSPECTION
In-vehicle Sensor
After disconnecting in-vehicle sensor connector M32, measure resis-
tance between terminals 1 and 4 at sensor component side, using
the table below.
If NG, replace in-vehicle sensor.
Optical Sensor CircuitEJS002CU
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
The optical sensor is located on the top center of the instrument
panel. It detects sunload entering through windshield by means of a
photo diode. The sensor converts the sunload into a current value
which is then input into the front air control.
OPTICAL INPUT PROCESS
The front air control includes a processing circuit which averages the variations in detected sunload over a
period of time. This prevents adjustments in the ATC system operation due to small or quick variations in
detected sunload.
For example, consider driving along a road bordered by an occasional group of large trees. The sunload
detected by the optical sensor will vary whenever the trees obstruct the sunlight. The processing circuit aver-
ages the detected sunload over a period of time, so that the (insignificant) effect of the trees momentarily
obstructing the sunlight does not cause any change in the ATC system operation. On the other hand, shortly
after entering a long tunnel, the system will recognize the change in sunload, and the system will react accord-
ingly.

REFRIGERANT LINES
Revision: August 20072004 QX56
CAUTION:
Cap or wrap the A/C refrigerant pipe ends with a suitable material such as vinyl tape to avoid the
entry of contaminants.
4. Remove the expansion valve.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:

Replace the O-rings on the A/C refrigerant pipes with new ones, then apply compressor oil to them
when installing them.

After charging refrigerant, check for leaks.
Checking for Refrigerant LeaksEJS002DV
Perform a visual inspection of all refrigeration parts, fittings, hoses and components for signs of A/C lubricant
leakage, damage, and corrosion. Any A/C lubricant leakage may indicate an area of refrigerant leakage. Allow
extra inspection time in these areas when using either an electronic refrigerant leak detector (J-41995) or fluo-
rescent dye leak detector (J-42220).
If any dye is observed using a fluorescent dye leak detector (J-42220), confirm the leak using a electronic
refrigerant leak detector (J-41995). It is possible that the dye is from a prior leak that 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 electronic refrigerant leak detector (J-41995), move the probe
along the suspected leak area at 25 - 50 mm (1 - 2 in) per second and no further than 6 mm (1/4 in) from the
component.
CAUTION:
Moving the electronic refrigerant 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 Fluorescent Dye Leak DetectorEJS002DW
1. Check the A/C system for leaks using the fluorescent dye leak detector and safety goggles (J-42220) in a
low sunlight area (area without windows preferable). Illuminate all components, fittings and lines. The dye
will appear as a bright green/yellow area at the point of leakage. Fluorescent dye observed at the evapo-
rator drain opening indicates an evaporator core assembly leak (tubes, core or expansion valve).
2. If the suspected area is difficult to see, use an adjustable mirror or wipe the area with a clean shop rag or
cloth, then inspect the shop rag or cloth with the fluorescent dye leak detector (J-42220) for dye residue.
3. After the leak is repaired, remove any residual dye using refrigerant dye cleaner (J-43872) to prevent
future misdiagnosis.
4. Perform a system performance check and then verify the leak repair using a electronic refrigerant leak
detector (J-41995).
NOTE:

Other gases in the work area or substances on the A/C components, for example, anti-freeze, wind-
shield washer fluid, solvents and lubricants, may falsely trigger the leak detector. Make sure the sur-
faces to be checked are clean.

Clean with a dry cloth or blow off with shop air.

Do not allow the sensor tip of the electronic refrigerant leak detector (J-41995) to contact with any sub-
stance. This can also cause false readings and may damage the detector.
Dye InjectionEJS002DX
NOTE:
This procedure is only necessary when recharging the system or when the compressor has seized and must
be replaced.
1. Check the A/C system static (at rest) pressure. Pressure must be at least 345 kPa (3.52 kg/cm
2 , 50 psi). Expansion valve bolts : 4 N·m (0.41 kg-m, 35 in-lb)
A/C refrigerant pipe to expansion valve bolt : Refer to ATC-164, "
Compo-
nents" .
