1. Before connecting recovery/recycling equipment to vehicle, check recovery/recycling equipment gauges.
No refrigerant pressure should be displayed. If NG, recover refrigerant from equipment lines.
2. Connect recovery/recycling equipment to vehicle. Confir m refrigerant purity in supply tank using recovery/
recycling equipment and refrigerant identifier. If NG, refer to AT C - 3 , "

3. Confirm refrigerant purity in vehicle A/C system using recovery/recycling equipment and refrigerant identi-
fier. If NG, refer to AT C - 3 , "
Contaminated Refrigerant".
4. Discharge refrigerant into the refrigerant recove ry/recycling equipment. Measure oil discharged into the
recovery/recycling equipment.
5. Drain the oil from the “old” (removed) compress or into a graduated container and recover the amount of
oil drained.
6. Drain the oil from the “new” compressor into a separate, clean container.
7. Measure an amount of new oil installed equal to am ount drained from “old” compressor. Add this oil to
“new” compressor through the suction port opening.
8. Measure an amount of new oil equal to the amount recovered during discharging. Add this oil to “new” compressor through the suction port opening.
9. If the liquid tank also needs to be replaced, add an additional 5 m (0.2 US fl oz, 0.2 Imp fl oz) of oil at this
time.
CAUTION:
Do not add this 5 m (0.2 US fl oz, 0.2 Imp fl oz) of oil if only replacing the compressor.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Insufficient Heating
INFOID:0000000003533261
SYMPTOM: Insufficient heating
INSPECTION FLOW
1.CONFIRM SYMPTOM BY PERFORMING OPER ATIONAL CHECK - TEMPERATURE INCREASE
1. Press the AUTO switch.
2. Turn the temperature control dial (driver) clockwise until 32 ° C (90 ° F) is displayed.
3. Check for hot air at discharge air outlets.
Can this symptom be duplicated?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> Perform complete system operational check. Refer to ATC-50, "
Operational Check (Front)" .
2.CHECK FOR SERVICE BULLETINS
Check for any service bulletins.
>> GO TO 3.
3.PERFORM SELF-DIAGNOSIS
Perform self-diagnosis. Refer to ATC-48, "
A/C System Self-Diagnosis Function" .
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 4.
NG >> Refer to ATC-48, "
A/C System Self-Diagnosis Function" .
4.CHECK ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM
1. Check for proper engine coolant level. Refer to CO-9, "
Inspection".
2. Check hoses for leaks or kinks.
3. Check radiator cap. Refer to CO-9, "
Inspection" .
4. Check for air in cooling system.
>> GO TO 5.
5.CHECK AIR MIX DOOR OPERATION
Check the operation of the air mix door.
OK or NG
Gauge indication Refrigerant cycle Probable cause Corrective action
Low-pressure side becomes nega-
tive. Liquid tank or front/rear side of
expansion valve′s pipe is frost-
ed or dewed. High-pressure side is closed
and refrigerant does not flow.
↓
Expansion valve or liquid tank
is frosted. Leave the system at rest until
no frost is present. Start it
again to check whether or not
the malfunction is caused by
water or foreign particles.
• If water is the cause, initially
cooling is okay. Then the wa-
ter freezes causing a block-
age. Drain water from
refrigerant or replace refrig-
erant.
• If due to foreign particles, re-
move expansion valve and
remove the particles with dry
and compressed air (not
shop air).
• If either of the above meth- ods cannot correct the mal-
function, replace expansion
valve.
• Replace liquid tank.
• Check oil for contamination.
