ON-VEHICLE SERVICE

PRECAUTIONS FOR REPLACEMENT OR
REPAIR OF AIR CONDITIONING PARTS
There are certain procedures, practices and precautions that
should be followed when servicing air conditioning systems:

Keep your work area clean.

Always wear safety goggle and protective gloves when
working on refrigerant systems.
 Beware of the danger of carbon monoxide fumes caused by
running the engine.

Beware of discharged refrigerant in enclosed or improperly
ventilated garages.


Always disconnect the negative battery cable and discharge
and recover the refrigerant whenever repairing the air
conditioning system.

When discharging and recovering the refrigerant, do not
allow refrigerant to discharge too fast; it will draw
compressor oil out of the system.

Keep moisture and contaminants out of the system. When
disconnecting or removing any lines or parts, use plugs or
caps to close the fittings immediately.
Never remove the caps or plugs until the lines or parts are
reconnected or installed.

When disconnecting or reconnecting the lines, use two
wrenches to support the line fitting, to prevent from twisting
or other damage.

Always install new O-rings whenever a connection is
disassembled.

Before connecting any hoses or lines, apply new specified
compressor oil to the O-rings.

When removing and replacing any parts which require
discharging the refrigerant circuit, the operations described
in this section must be performed in the following sequence:

1) Using the ACR
4 (HFC-134a Refrigerant Recovery/
Recycling/Recharging/System) or equivalent to
thoroughly discharge and recover the refrigerant.
ACR
4 (115V 60Hz) : 5-8840-0629-0 (J-39500-A)
ACR4 (220-240V 50/60Hz)
: 5-8840-0630-0 (J-39500-220A)
ACR
4 (220-240V 50/60Hz Australian model)
: 5-8840-0631-0 (J-39500-220ANZ)
2) Remove and replace the defective part.
3)
After evacuation, charge the air conditioning system and
check for leaks.

1-28 HEATER AND AIR CONDITIONING

Insert nut into union. First tighten nut by hand as much as
possible. Then, tighten nut to specified torque.
(Refer to "Special Parts Fixing Nuts and Bolts" in this section)



LEAK AT REFRIGERANT LINE
CONNECTIONS

1) Check the torque on the refrigerant line fitting and, if too
loose, tighten to the specified torque.
 Use two wrenches to prevent twisting and damage to the
Line.

Do not over tighten.
2) Perform a leak test on the refrigerant line fitting.
3) If the leak is still present, discharge and recover the
refrigerant from the system.
4) Replace the O-rings.

O-rings cannot be reused. Always replace with new
ones.


 Be sure to apply specified compressor oil to the new O-
rings.


5) Retighten the refrigerant line fitting to the specified torque.

Use two wrenches to prevent twisting and damage to the
line.
6) Evacuate, charge and retest the system.

LEAK IN THE HOSE
If the compressor inlet or outlet hose is leaking, the entire hose
must be replaced. Refrigerant hose must not be cut or spliced
for repair.
1) Locate the leak.
2) Discharge and recover the refrigerant.
3) Remove the hose assembly.

Cap the open connections at once.
4) Connect the new hose assembly.

Use two wrenches to prevent twisting or damage to the
hose fitting.



Tighten the hose fitting to the specified torque.
5) Evacuate, charge and test the system.

COMPRESSOR LEAKS
If leaks are located around the compressor shaft seal or shell,
replace or repair the compressor.

Checking and Adjusting for Used Compressor
(1) Perform Oil return operation.
(Refer to "Oil Return Operation" in this section.)
(2) Discharge refrigerant and remove the compressor.


(3) Drain the compressor oil and measure the extracted oil with
a measuring cylinder.
(4) Check the compressor oil for contamination.
(Refer to "Contamination of Compressor Oil" in this
section.)
(5) Adjust oil level following the procedure below.

Type Collected Amount Charging Amount
more than 90 cm3
(3.0 fl.oz.) same as collected
amount
less than 90 cm3
(3.0 fl.oz.) 90 cm3 (3.0 fl.oz.) CR-14

(6) Install the compressor, then evacuate, charge and perform
oil return operation.
(7) Check system operation.


When it is impossible to perform oil return operation, the
compressor oil should be checked in the following order:
(1) Discharge 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 cm
3 (3.0 fl.oz.) for CR-14 type is extracted
from the compressor, supply same amount of oil to the
compressor to be installed.
If the amount of oil extracted is less than 90 cm
3 (3.0 fl.oz.)
for CR-14 type recheck the compressor oil in the following
order:
(5) Supply 90 cm
3 (3.0 fl.oz.) for CR-14 type oil to the
compressor and install it onto the vehicle.
(6) Perform oil return operation.
(7) Remove the compressor and recheck the amount of oil.
(8) Adjust the compressor oil.
