3. Move the probe along each component at a speed of approxi-mately 25 - 50 mm (1 - 2 in)/second as shown.
CHECKING PROCEDURE
NOTE:
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 a calm area (low air/wind movement) so that \
the
leaking refrigerant is not dispersed.
1. Turn the engine OFF.
2. Connect the manifold gauge set (J-39183-C) to the A/C service ports. Refer to ATC-150, "
HFC-134a (R-
134a) Service Procedure".
3. Check if the A/C refrigerant pressure is at least 345 kPa (3.52 kg/cm
2 , 50 psi) above a temperature of
16 °C (61 °F). If less than specification, recover/evacuat e and recharge the system with the specified
amount of refrigerant. Refer to ATC-150, "
HFC-134a (R-134a) Service Procedure".
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) pressure.
4. Perform the leak test from the high-pressure side (front A/C compressor discharge “a” to evaporator inlet
“f” or rear piping connection “l”) to the low-pressure side (front A/C evaporator drain hose “g” to shaft seal
“k” and rear A/C evaporator drain hose “o” to piping connection “r”). Refer to ATC-152, "
Component".
Clean the component to be checked and carefully move the electronic refrigerant leak detector probe
completely around the following connections and components.
• Check the compressor shaft seal
• Check the high and low-pressure pipe and hose fittings, relief valve, and compressor shaft seal
• Check the liquid tank
• Check the refrigerant pressure sensor
• Check all around the service valves. Check that the service valve caps are screwed tightly on the ser-
vice valves (to prevent leaks).
NOTE:
After removing manifold gauge set (J-39183-C) from the service valves, wipe any residue from the ser-
vice valves to prevent any false readings by the electronic refrigerant leak detector (J-41995).
• Evaporator
With engine OFF, turn blower fan on “High” for at l east 15 seconds to dissipate any refrigerant trace in
the heater and cooling unit assembly. Wait a minimum of 10 minutes accumulation time (refer to the
manufacturer's recommended procedure for actual wait time) before inserting the electronic refrigerant
leak detector probe into the heater and cooling unit assembly drain hose.
NOTE:
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 is detected, verify at least once by blow ing compressed air into the area of the suspected leak,
then repeat the leak check.
6. Do not stop when one leak is found. Continue to c heck for additional leaks at all system components and
connections.
7. If no leaks are found, perform steps 8 - 11.
8. Start the engine.
9. Set the heater A/C controls as follows: NOTE:
For the automatic system, turn OF F the automatic controls and set the heater A/C controls manually.

Noise InspectionINFOID:0000000003533674
The vehicle itself can be a source of noise if noise prevention parts or electrical equipment is malfunctioning.
Check if noise is caused and/or changed by engine speed, ignition switch turned to each position, and opera-
tion of each piece of electrical equipment, and determine the cause.
NOTE:
The source of the noise can be found easily by listening to the noise while removing the fuses of electrical
components, one by one.
TYPE OF NOISE AND POSSIBLE CAUSE
Power Supply Circuit InspectionINFOID:0000000003533675
1.CHECK FUSES
Check that the following fuses are not blown.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> If fuse is blown, be sure to eliminate cause of blown fuse before installing new fuse. Refer to PG-
3.
2.POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT CHECK
1. Disconnect audio unit connector M43, subwoofer connector B72 and BOSE speaker amp. connector
M112.
2. Check voltage between the audio unit and ground.
Occurrence condition Possible cause
Occurs only when engine is ON.A continuous growling noise occurs. The speed of
the noise varies with changes in the engine speed.• Ignition components
A whistling noise occurs while the engine speed is
high. A booming noise occurs while the engine is
running and the lighting switch is ON.• Generator
The occurrence of the noise is linked with the operation of the fuel pump. • Fuel pump condenser
Noise only occurs when various
electrical components are oper-
ating.A cracking or snapping sound occurs with the op-
eration of various switches.• Relay malfunction, audio unit malfunction
The noise occurs when various motors are operat-
ing.• Motor case ground
•Motor
The noise occurs constantly, not just under certain conditions.• Rear defogger coil malfunction
• Open circuit in printed heater
• Poor ground of antenna amplifier or anten-
na feeder line
A cracking or snapping sound occurs while the vehicle is being driven, especially when
it is vibrating excessively.• Ground wire of body parts
• Ground due to improper part installation
• Wiring connections or a short circuit

ENGINE COOLANT
• Wrap a thick cloth around the cap to carefully remove the cap. First, turn the cap a quarter of a turn
to release any built-up pressure, then push down and turn the cap all the way to remove it.
DRAINING ENGINE COOLANT
1. Turn ignition switch ON and set temperature control lever all the way to HOT position or the highest tem-
perature position. Wait 10 seconds and turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Remove the engine front undercover using power tool.
3. Open the radiator drain plug at the bottom of the radiator, and
remove the radiator filler cap. This is the only step required
when partially draining the cooling system (radiator only).
CAUTION:
Do not to allow the coolant to contact the drive belts.
4. When draining all of the coolant in the system for engine
removal or repair, it is necessary to drain the cylinder block.
Remove the RH cylinder block drain plug to drain the right bank
and the oil cooler hose to drain the left bank as shown.
5. Remove the reservoir tank to drain the engine coolant, then clean the reservoir tank before installing it.
6. Check the drained coolant for contaminants such as rust, corrosion or discoloration.
If the coolant is contaminated, flush the engine cooling system.
REFILLING ENGINE COOLANT
1. Close the radiator drain plug. Install the reservoir tank, cylinder block drain plug, and the oil cooler hose, if
removed for a total system drain or for engine removal or repair.
• The radiator must be completely empty of coolant and water.
• Apply sealant to the threads of the cylinder block drain plug. Use Genuine High Performance Thread
Sealant or equivalent. Refer to GI-45, "
Recommended Chemical Product and Sealant".
2. Set the vehicle heater controls to the full HOT and heater ON position. Turn the vehicle ignition ON with
the engine OFF as necessary to activate the heater mode.
