COMPRESSOR OVERHAUL 10-3
GENERAL INFORMATION
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 com
pressor model. Be sure to use oil specified for
the model of compressor.
• Always use HFC-134a Vane Rotary Type Com
pressor 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 circul
ating 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 15 0cc (5
·0
fl.oz.)
Checking and Adjusting 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 (Fig. 1 D-
2).
Fig. 1D-2
4. If the amount of oil drained is much less than
90cc (3.0 fl.oz.), some refrigerant may have
leaked out. Conduct leak tests on connections of
each system, and if necessary, repair or replace
faulty parts.
5. Check the compressor oil for contamination.
(Refer to "Contamination of Compressor Oil" in
this section.)
6. Adjust oil level following the procedure below
(Fig. 1 D-3).
Collected Amount

less than 90cc (3.0 fl.oz.) 90cc (3.0 fl.oz.)
7. Install the compressor, then evacuate, charge
and
perform oil return operation.
8. Check system operation.
When it is impossible to perform oil return oper
ation, 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 90cc (3.0 fl.oz.) of oil 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 90cc
(3.0 fl.oz.),
recheck the compressor oil in the
following order:
5. Supply 90cc (3.0 fl.oz.) of oil to the compressor
and install it onto the vehicle.

6. Evacuate, charge and perform oil return oper
ation.
7. Check system operation.
CONTAMINATION OF COMPRESSOR OIL
Unlike engine oil, no cleaning agent is added to the
compressor
oil. Even if the compressor runs for a
long period
of time (approximately 1 season), the
oil never becomes contaminated as long
as there is
nothing
wrong with the compressor or its method
of use.
Inspect the extracted oil for any of the following
conditions:
• The capacity of the oil has increased.
• The oil has changed color to red.
• Foreign substances, metal powder, etc., are
present in the oil.
If any of these conditions exists, compressor oil
is contaminated. Whenever contaminated com
pressor
oil is discovered, the receiver/dryer must
be
replaced.
OIL RETURN OPERATION
There is close affinity between the oil and the
refrigerant. During normal operation, part
of the oil
recirculates
with the refrigerant in the system.
When checking the
amount of oil in the system, or
replacing any component of the system, the com
pressor
must be run in advance for oil return oper
ation. The procedure is as
follows:
1. Open the all doors and engine hood.
2. Start the engine and air conditioning switch is
"ON" and Set the fan control knob at its hig
hest position.
3. Run the compressor for more than 20 minutes
between
800 and 1,000 rpm in order to operate
the system.
4. Stop the engine.
REPLACEMENT OF COMPONENT PARTS
When replacing system component parts, supply
the following
amount of oil to the component parts
to be installed.
Component parts to be installed Amount of oil
Evaporator 50cc
(1.7
fl.oz.)
Condenser 30cc
(1.0 fl.oz.)
Receiver/dryer 30cc
(1.0 fl.oz.)

381 - 4 POWER STEERING GEAR AND PUMP
ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
MAINTENANCE
The hydraulic system should be kept clean and fluid
level in the reservoir should be checked at regular
intervals
and fluid added when required. Refer to
"MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION" in section OB
ofthe manual for type offluid to be used and intervals
for filling.
If the system contains some dirt, flush it as detailed
later
in this section. If it is exceptionally dirty, both the
pump and the gear must be completely disassembled
before further usage.
All tubes, hoses, and fittings should be inspected for
leakage at regular intervals. Fittings must be tight.
Make sure the clips, clamps and supporting tubes and
hoses are in
place and properly secured.
Power steering hoses and lines must not be twisted,
kinked or tightly bent. Air in the system will cause
spongy action and noisy operation. When a hose is
disconnected
or when fluid is lost, for any reason, the
system must be bled after refilling. Refer to "Bleeding
the Power Steering System" in this section.
FLUID LEVEL
1. Run the engine until the power steering fluid
reaches normal operating temperature, about
55°C (130°F), then shut the engine off.
2. Check the level of fluid in the reservoir.
3. If the fluid level is low, add power steering fluid
as specified in "MAINTENANCE AND LUBRI
CATION" in Section OB to the proper level and
install the receiver cap.
4. When checking the fluid level after the steering
system has been serviced,
air must be bled from
the system. Refer to "Bleeding the Power
Steering
System" in this section.
BLEEDING THE POWER STEERING
SYSTEM
When a power steering pump or gear has been
installed, or an oil line has been disconnected, the air
that has entered the system must be bled out before
the vehicle is operated. If air is allowed to remain in
the power steering fluid system, noisy and
unsatisfactory operation of the system may result.
BLEEDING PROCEDURE
When bleeding the system, and any time fluid is
added
to the power steering system, be sure to use
only power steering fluid as specified in
"MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION" in section OB.
1. Fill the pump fluid reservoir to the proper level
and let the fluid settle for at least two minutes.
2. Start the engine and let it run for a few seconds.
Do
not turn the steering wheel. Then turn the
engine off.
3. Add fluid if necessary.
4. Repeat the above procedure until the fluid level
remains constant after running the engine.
5. Raise the front end of the vehicle so that the
wheels are off the ground.
6. Start the engine. Slowly turn the steering wheel
right and left, lightly contacting the wheel stops.
7. Add power steering fluid if necessary.
8. Lower the vehicle and turn the steering wheel
slowly from lock to lock.
9. Stop the engine. Check the fluid level and refill
as required.
10.
If the fluid is extremely foamy, allow the vehicle
to stand a few minutes and repeat the above
procedure.
~ INSPECT
• Belt for tightness.
• Pulley for looseness or damage. The pulley
should not wobble with the engine running.
• Hoses so they are not touching any other parts
of the vehicle.
• Fluid level
and fill to the proper level.
FLUSHING THE POWER STEERING
SYSTEM
1. Raise the front end of the vehicle off the ground
until the wheels are free to turn.
2. Remove the fluid return line at the pump inlet
connector and plug the connector port on the
pump.
Position the line toward a large container to
catch the draining fluid.
3. While running the engine at idle, fill the reservoir
with new power steering fluid. Turn the steering
wheel in both directions. DO NOT contact wheel
stops or hold the wheel in a corner, or fluid will
stop and the pump will be in pressure relief mode.
A sudden
overflow from the reservoir may
develop if the wheel is held at a stop.
4. Install all the lines and hoses. Fill the system with
new power steering fluid and bleed the system
as described in "Bleeding The Power Steering
System". Operate the engine for about 15
minutes.
Remove the
pump return line at the pump inlet
and plug the connection on the pump. While
refilling the reservoir, check the draining fluid for
contamination. If foreign material is still evident,
replace all lines, disassemble and clean or replace
the power steering system components. Do not
re-use any drained power steering fluid.

Park/Neutral Position (PNP) Switch (Auto Only)
The Park/Neutral position (PNP) switch indicates to the
Engine Control Module
(ECM) when the transmission
is in park, neutral
or drive. This information is used for
the exhaust gas recirculation, and the idle air control
valve operation.
NOTE:
• Vehicle
should not be driven with PNP switch
disconnected,
as idle quality will be affected and a
possible false diagnostic trouble code
(DTC) 24
(vehicle speed sensor).
DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS 6E2-103
See DIAGNOSIS AND GENERAL SERVICE Section for
more information on the PNP switch. The PNP switch is
part
of the neutral/start and backup light switch
assembly mounted on the transmission.
See CHART C-
1 A for PNP switch check.
DIAGNOSIS
To read the DTC(s), use a "Scan tool" or ground the
diagnostic test terminal,
with the engine not running
and the ignition
"ON". The "Check Engine" malfunction
indicator lamp
will flash DTC 12 three times and then
flash each
DTC stored in memory three times. All
DTC(s) stored in memory will have been read when
DTC 12 is flashed again.
No new
DTC(s) can be stored when in the diagnostics
test mode (diagnostics lead grounded). This
eliminates confusion while the system is being
serviced.
To clear the
DTC(s) from memory:
• Ignition "OFF".
•
Disconnect main fuse located in the under hood
fuse/relay center near the battery.
Since the ECM can have a failure which may affect only
one circuit, following the diagnostic procedures in this
section
will determine which circuit has a problem and
where
it is.
If a diagnostic chart indicates thatthe ECM connections
or ECM is the cause of a problem, and the ECM is
replaced,
but does not correct the problem, one of the
following may be the reason.
• There is a problem with the ECM terminal
connections-The diagnostic chart will say ECM
connections or ECM. The terminals may have to
be removed from the connector in order to check
them properly.
• The ECM is not correct for the Vehicle-Ane
incorrect
ECM may cause a malfunction and may
set a DTC.
• The problem is intermittent -This means that
the problem is
not present at the time the system is
being checked.
In this case, refer to the
"Symptoms" portion of the manual and make a
careful physical inspection
of all portions of the
system involved.
• Shorted solenoid, relay coil, or harness
Solenoid and relays are turned "ON" and "OFF" by
the
ECM, using internal electronic switches called
"drivers".
Each driver is part of a group of four,
called "quad-drivers". Failure of one driver can
damage any other driver in the set. A
shorted solenoid, relay coil, or harness in a l-EFT
SHCI
computer will not damage the ECM, but will
cause the circuit and controlled component to be
inoperative. When the circuit fault is not present or
has been repaired, the "quad-driver" will again
operate in a normal manner due to its fault
protected design. If a fault has been repaired in a
circuit controlled by a "quad-driver", the original
ECM should be reinstalled and the circuit checked
for proper operation. ECM replacement will not be
necessary if the repaired circuit or component now
operates correctly.
J 34636 or BT-8405 testers or equivalent provide a fast,
accurate means
of checking for a shorted coil or a short
to battery positive voltage.
• The replacement ECM may be faulty-After the
ECM is replaced, the system should be re-checked
for proper operation. If the diagnostic chart again
indicates the
ECM is the problem, substitute a
known good
ECM. Although this is a rare
condition,
it could happen.
ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM)
A faulty ECM will be determined in the diagnostic
charts.
ELECTRONICALL V ERASABLE
PROGRAMMABLE READ
ONL V MEMORY
A faulty electrically erasable programmable read only
memory, which is part of the ECM, will set a DTC 51.
ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM)
INPUTS
All of the sensors and input switches can be diagnosed
by the use
of "Scan tool".
Following is a short description of how the sensors and
switches can be diagnosed by the use
"Scan tool". The
"Scan tool" can also be used to compare the values for
a normal running engine with the engine you're
diagnosing.

CHECKING TRANSMISSION FLUID
LEVEL AND CONDITION
Checking fluid level and condition (color and odor)
at
regular intervals will provide early diagnosis
information about the transmission. This inform
ation may be used to correct a condition that, if not
detected early, could result in major transmission
repairs.
IMPORTANT: When new, automatic transmission
fluid is red in color. As the vehicle is driven, the
transmission
fluid will begin to look darker in color.
The
color may eventually appear light brown.
A DARK
brown color with burnt odor may indicate
excessive
fluid deterioration and signal a need for
fluid change.
FLUID LEVEL
When adding
or changing fluid, use only DEXRON
®-Ill.
Refer to the Maintenance and Lubrication (Section 0
of this manual) for maintenance information and
servicing
interval.
\f CAUTION: DO NOT OVERFILL
Overfilling will cause foaming, loss ~f fluid,
abnormal shifting and possible damage to
the transmission.
1. Start engine and drive vehicle until normal AfT
oil operating temperature is reached:
NOTE: The automatic transmission fluid level
must be checked with the vehicle at normal
A/T oil operating temperature: 75 TO 85°C
(167 TO 185°F) MEASURED WITH TECH1 SCAN
TOOL.
Temperature will greatly affect transmission
fluid level.
If the vehicle is not at normal AfT oil operating
temperature and the proper checking
procedures are
not followed, the result could
be a false reading of the fluid level indicator
and
an incorrect adjustment of the fluid level.
2. Park vehicle on level ground.
3. Move gear selector to "Park".
4. Apply parking brake and block wheels.
5. Allow vehicle to idle for 3 minutes with all
accessories turned off.
6. Check fluid level with engine running at idle:
Fluid should
be in "HOT" area on AfT dipstick
(Fig. 7A-6).
Check also color and condition (Refer to next
page.)

CHECKING TRANSMISSION FLUID
LEVEL
1. Park the vehicle on level ground.
2. Apply the parking brake.
3. Place the automatic transmission in "Park" and
start the engine.
Allow the engine to idle for
two minutes.
4. With the brakes applied, move the shifter lever
through all the gear ranges, ending in "Park".
5. Remove the dipstick, Carefully touch the
dipstick with your finger to determine the
temperature of the fluid. (Fig. 7A-14)
• If the fluid is cool or warm (approximately
room temperature) or slightly higher (but
not too hot to touch), the fluid level should
be within the "Cold" range.
• If the fluid is hot, the fluid level should be
(A; within the "Hot" range.
6.
Cold Hot
Fig. 7A-14
• If the vehicle has just been driven for a long
period of time at highway speeds or in city
traffic in hot weather, wait 30 minutes for
the fluid to cool down before checking fluid
level.
If fluid level is low, add enough DEXRON®-m
Automatic transmission fluid to bring trans
mission
to its proper fluid level through the
transmission oil filler tube.
NOTE:
The automatic transmission fluid level must be
checked
with the vehicle at normal AfT oil
operating temperature: 75 TO 85°C (167 TO
185°F)
measured with TECH1 scan tool.
Overfilling or underfilling could result in
damage
to the transmission.
• If fluid level is low, inspect the area around
the oil pan for leakage.
•
If the fluid smells burnt or is black, replace
it.
CHANGING TRANSMISSION FLUID
There is no need to change the transmission fluid
unless the transmission is used under one or more
of the following heavy duty conditions.
A: Repeated
short trips
B: Driving on rough roads
C: Driving on dusty roads
D: Towing a trailer
If the vehicle is used under these conditions,
change the fluid every 20,000 miles (32,000 km.)
There is
no drain plug in the oil pan. Oil should be
extracted
with suitable suction device through the
filler tube. Alternately the fluid can be drained by
carefully removing the oil pan. Place a large drain
pan
under the oil pan, remove 13 bolts on the right,
left and front sides of the oil pan and loosen 3 bolts
on the rear side.
Drain
the fluid carefully.
Hold
the pan horizontally, remove the remaining 3
bolts and remove pan and gasket. Clean the oil pan
and
