Repair Of Refrigerant Leaks
Refrigerant Line Connections
Install new O-rings, if required. When disconnecting or
connecting lines, use two wrenches to prevent the
connecting portion from twisting or becoming damaged.
852R200001When connecting the refrigerant line at a block joint,
securely insert the projecting portion of the joint portion
into the connecting hole on the unit side and secure with a
bolt. Apply the specified compressor oil to the O-rings
prior to connecting.
CAUTION: Compressor (PAG) oil to be used varies
according to the compressor model. Be sure to apply
oil specified for the model of compressor.
850RW002
O-rings (2) must be fitted in the groove (1) of refrigerant
line.
850RW003Insert the nut into the union.
First, tighten the nut by hand as much as possible, then
tighten the nut to the specified torque.

Compressor Oil
Oil Specification

The HFC-134a system requires a synthetic (PAG)
compressor oil whereas the R-12 system requires a
mineral compressor oil. The two oils must never be
mixed.

Compressor (PAG) oil varies according to
compressor model. Be sure to use oil specified for the
model of compressor.

Always use HFC-134a Vane Rotary Type
Compressor Oil (AIPDN Part No.2-90188-301-0)
Handling of Oil

The oil should be free from moisture, dust, metal
powder, etc.

Do not mix with other oil.

The water content in the oil increases when exposed
to the air. After use, seal oil from air immediately.
(HFC-134a Vane Rotary Compressor Oil absorbs
moisture very easily.)

The compressor oil must be stored in steel
containers, not in plastic containers.
Compressor Oil Check
The oil used to lubricate the compressor is circulating with
the refrigerant.
Whenever replacing any component of the system or a
large amount of gas leakage occurs, add oil to maintain
the original amount of oil.
Oil Capacity
Capacity total in system: 150cc (5.0 fl.oz)
Compressor (Service parts) charging amount:
150 cc (5.0 fl.oz)
Checking and Adjusting Oil Quantity
for Used Compressor
1. Perform oil return operation. Refer to Oil Return
Operation in this section.
2. Discharge and recover refrigerant and remove the
compressor.
3. Drain the compressor oil and measure the extracted
oil with a measuring cylinder.
4. If the amount of oil drained is much less than 90 cc
(3.0 fl. oz.), some refrigerant may have leaked out.
Conduct a leak tests on the connections of each
system, and if necessary, repair or replace faulty
parts.
5. Check the compressor oil contamination. (Refer to
Contamination of Compressor Oil in this section.)
6. Adjust the oil level following the next procedure
below.(Charging Amount)
(Collected Amount)
more than 90cc (3.0
fl.oz)same as collected
amount
less than 90 cc (3.0 fl.oz)90cc (3.0 fl.oz)
7. Install the compressor, then evacuate, charge and
perform the oil return operation.
8. Check system operation.
When it is impossible to preform oil return operation,
the compressor oil should be checked in the
following order:
1. Discharge and recover refrigerant and remove the
compressor.
2. Drain the compressor oil and measure the extracted
oil with a measuring cylinder.
3. Check the oil for contamination.
4. If more than 90 cc (3.0 fl. oz.) of oil is extracted from
the compressor, supply the same amount of oil to the
compressor to be installed.
5. If the amount of oil extracted is less than 90 cc (3.0 fl.
oz.), recheck the compressor oil in the following
order.
6. Supply 90 cc (3.0 fl. oz.) of oil to the compressor and
install it onto the vehicle.
7. Evacuate and recharge with the proper amount of
refrigerant.
8. Perform the oil return operation.
9. Remove the compressor and recheck the amount of
oil.
10. Adjust the compressor oil, if necessary.

HEATING, VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING (HVAC)
Functions and Features
Automatic air conditioning control unit
The control unit features a prominent control and display
panel that clearly shows air conditioner operational
settings (delivered air volume, air outlet location,
inside/outside air circulation, and set temperature).
Desired temperature can be set in ±17
C (1
F)
increments. The current setting appears on the digital
display.
Automatic temperature control
Vehicle interior temperature is maintained at the set level.
It is unaffected by changes in vehicle speed, outside air
temperature, and number of passengers.
Maximum cooling and heating
Moving the switch to the 18
C (65
F) position provides
maximum cooling. Moving the switch to the 32
C (90
F)
position provides maximum heating.
Automatic air flow control
Air flow is automatically and precisely regulated in
response to set temperature change and/or changes in
heater unit mixing door aperture.
Automatic air outlet selection
Appropriate air outlets (VENT, BE-LEVEL, FOOT, or
DEF) are selected in response to changes in outlet
temperatures. The mode switch permits manual selection
of the desired air outlet.
Air source (Fresh air intake from outside the
vehicle or recirculation of the air inside the vehicle)
selection
Automatic switching between outside air (FRESH),
recirculated inside air (RECIRC), or a combination of the
two (MIX) occurs in response to changes in outlet
temperatures.The intake switch permits manual
selection of the air source (FRESH or RECIRC). Mixing
of the two sources is not possible during manual
operation. When the defrost mode switch (DEF) is
pressed, the system automatically switches to outside air
intake.
Cooler start-up control
When the vehicle is parked in a hot area for an extended
period of time, the evaporator becomes hot. When the
cooler is turned on, hot air is blown into the vehicle until
the evaporator cools down. The cooler start-up control
prevents blower operation until the evaporator is able to
provide cool air.
Heater start-up control
When the vehicle is parked in a cold area for an extended
period of time, the heater core becomes cold. When the
heater is turned on, cold air is blown into the vehicle until
the heater core heats up. The heater start-up control
prevents blower operation to the air outlets until the
heater core is able to provide warm air. Air is delivered
through the defrost outlets.
Solar radiation offset
The sun sensor uses a photodiode to precisely determine
the amount of solar radiation affecting the vehicle. The
cooler operates in response to this radiation to quickly
correct the vehicle interior temperature.Switch position memory
Current switch positions are stored in memory when the
ignition switch is turned off. When the ignition switch is
turned on again, the switches automatically return to the
position they were in when the ignition switch was turned
off. This simplifies the restarting procedure.
Self-diagnosis function
The self-diagnosis switches on the control panel permit
easy system troubleshooting. Refer to ªSelf-Diagnosisº
later in this Section.
