REFRIGERANT SYSTEM SERVICE BASICS
REFRIGERANT RECOVERY
Use only service equipment that is U.L - listed and is certified to meet the requirements of SAE J2210 to remove HFC-
134a(R- 134a) from the air conditioning system.
a. Air conditioning refrigerant or lubricant vapor can irritate your eyes, nose, or throat.
b. Be careful when connecting service equipment.
c. Do not breathe refrigerant or vapor.
If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming service.
Additional health and safety information may be obtained from the refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers. 1. Connect an R- 134a refrigerant
Recovery/Recycling/Charging System (A) to the high- pressure service port (B) and the low- pressure service port
(C) as shown, following the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
2.Measure the amount of refrigerant oil removed from the A/C system after the recovery process is completed. Be
sure to install the same amount of new refrigerant oil back into the A/C system before charging.
SYSTEM EVACUATION
Use only service equipment that is U.L - listed and is certified to meet the requirements of SAE J2210 to remove HFC-
134a(R- 134a) from the air conditioning system.
a.Air conditioning refrigerant or lubricant vapor can irritate your eyes, nose, or throat.
b. Be careful when connecting service equipment.
c. Do not breathe refrigerant or vapor.
If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming service.

Additional health and safety information may be obtained from the refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.1. When an A/C System has been opened to the atmosphere, such as during installation or repair, it must be
evacuated using an R- 134a refrigerant Recovery/Recycling/Charging System. (If the system has been open for
several days, the receiver/dryer should be replaced, and the system should be evacuated for several hours.)
2. Connect an R- 134a refrigerant Recovery/Recycling/Charging System (A) to the high- pressure service port (B) and
the low- pressure service port (C) as shown, following the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
3.If the low- pressure does not reach more than 93.3 kPa (700 mmHg, 27.6 in.Hg) in 10 minutes, there is probably a
leak in the system. Partially charge the system, and check for leaks (see Leak Test.).
4. Remove the low pressure valve from the low- pressure service port.
SYSTEM CHARGING
Use only service equipment that is U.L - listed and is certified to meet the requirements of SAE J2210 to remove HFC-
134a(R- 134a) from the air conditioning system.
a.Air conditioning refrigerant or lubricant vapor can irritate your eyes, nose, or throat.
b. Be careful when connecting service equipment.
c. Do not breathe refrigerant or vapor.
If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming service.
Additional health and safety information may be obtained from the refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers. 1. Connect an R- 134a refrigerant Recovery/Recycling/Charging System (A) to the high- pressure service port (B) as
shown, following the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
2.Add the same amount of new refrigerant oil to system that was removed during recovery. Use only specified
refrigerant oil. Charge the system with 28.21 ± 0.88 oz. (800 ± 25g) of R- 134a refrigerant. Do not overcharge the
system the compressor will be damaged.
REFRIGERANT LEAK TEST
Always conduct a leak test with an electronic leak detector whenever leakage or refrigerant is suspected and when
conducting service operations which are accompanied by disassembly or loosening or connection fittings.

REMOVAL
1.If the compressor is marginally operable, run the engine at idle speed, and let the air conditioning work for a few
minutes, then shut the engine off.
2. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
3. Recover the refrigerant with a recovery/charging station (Refer to HA - 8).
4. Loosen the drive belt (Refer to HA - 14).
5. Remove the bolts, then disconnect the suction line (A) and discharge line (B) from the compressor. Plug (C) or cap
the lines immediately after disconnecting them to avoid moisture and dust contamination.
6.Disconnect the compressor clutch connector (A), and then remove 4 mounting bolts and the compressor.
INSTALLATION
1.Make sure of the length of compressor mounting bolts.
2.Install in the reverse order of removal, and note these items.
a. If you're installing a new compressor, drain all the refrigerant oil from the removed compressor, and measure its
volume, Subtract the volume of drained oil from 120cc(4.20 oz.) the result is the amount of oil you should drain

INSPECTION
Oil Specification
1. The HFC- 134a system requires synthetic (PAG) compressor oil whereas the R- 12 system requires mineral
compressor oil. The two oils must never be mixed.
2. Compressor (PAG) oil varies according to compressor model. Be sure to use oil specified for the model of
compressor.
Handling of Oil
1.The oil should be free from moisture, dust, metal powder, etc.
2. Do not mix with other oil.
3. The water content in the oil increases when exposed to the air. After use, seal oil from air immediately. (HFC - 134a
Compressor Oil absorbs moisture very easily.)
4. 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 total volume in system:
120±10cc (4.05±0.34 fl.oz)
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 compressor must be run in advance for oil return
operation. The procedure is as follows:
1. Open all the doors and the engine hood.
2. Start the engine and air conditioning switch to "ON" and set the blower motor control knob at its highest 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 the 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 50 cc (1.70 fl.oz)
Condenser 30 cc (1.02 fl.oz)
Receiver/dryer 30 cc (1.02 fl.oz)
Refrigerant line (One piece) 10 cc (0.34 fl.oz)
For compressor replacement, subtract the volume of oil drained from the removed compressor from the specified
volume, and drain the calculated volume of oil from the new compressor:
The specified volume - volume of removed compressor = volume to drain from the new compressor.
Even if no oil is drained from the removed compressor, don’t drain more than 50cc from new compressor.

2.Remove the desiccant (A) from condenser using a long nose plier. Check for crumbled desiccant and clogged
bottom cap filter.
3.Apply air conditioning compressor oil along the O - rings and threads of the new bottom cap.
4. Insert the new desiccant into the receiver drier tank. The desiccant must be sealed in vacuum before it is exposed
to air for use.
5. Install the new bottom cap to the condenser.
a.Always replace the desiccant and bottom cap at the same time.
b. Replace the O - rings with new ones at each fitting, and apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil before installing
them. Be sure to use the right O - rings for R- 134a to avoid leakage.
c. Be careful not to damage the radiator and condenser fins when installing the condenser.
d. Be sure to install the lower mount cushions of condenser securely into the holes.
e. Charge the system, and test its performance. (Refer to HA - 10)

DESCRIPTION
A/C pressure transducer convert the pressure value of high pressure line into voltage value after measure it. By
converted voltage value, engine ECM controls cooling fan by operating it high speed or low speed. Engine ECM stop
the operation of compressor when the temperature of refrigerant line is so high or so low irregularly to optimize air
conditioning system.

2007 > 2.7L V6 GASOLINE >
DESCRIPTION
This specification applies to HCU(Hydraulic Control Unit) and ECU(Electronic Control Unit) of the HECU.(Hydraulic and
Electronic Control Unit)
This specification is for the wiring design and installation of ABS/TCS/ESC ECU.
This unit has the functions as follows.
a. Input of signal from Pressure sensor, Steering angle sensor, Yaw & Lateral G sensor, the wheel speed sensors
attached to each wheel.
b. Control of braking force / traction force/ yaw moment.
c. Failsafe function.
d. Self diagnosis function.
e. Interface with the external diagnosis tester.
Installation position : engine compartment a. Brake tube length from Master cylinder port to HECU inlet port should be max. 1m
b. The position should not be close to the engine block and not lower than the wheel.
OPERATION
The ECU shall be put into operation by switching on the operating voltage (IGN).
On completion of the initialization phase, the ECU shall be ready for operation.
In the operating condition, the ECU shall be ready, within the specified limits (voltage and temperature), to process the
signals offered by the various sensors and switches in accordance with the control algorithm defined by the software
and to control the hydraulic and electrical actuators.
Wheel Sensor signal processing
The ECU shall receive wheel speed signal from the four active wheel sensors.
The wheel signals are converted to voltage signal by the signal conditioning circuit after receiving current signal from
active wheel sensors and given as input to the MCU.
Solenoid Valve Control
When one side of the valve coil is connected to the positive voltage that is provided through the valve relay and the
other side is connected to the ground by the semiconductor circuit, the solenoid valve goes into operation.
The electrical function of the coils are always monitored by the valve test pulse under normal operation conditions.
Voltage limits
a.Overvoltage
When overvoltage is detected(above 16.8 V), the ECU switches off the valve relay and shuts down the system.
When voltage is returned to operating range, the system goes back to the normal condition after the initialization
phase.
b. Undervoltage
In the event of undervoltage(below 9.3 V), ABS control shall be inhibited and the warning lamp shall be turned on.
When voltage is returned to operating range, the warning lamp is switched off and ECU returns to normal operating
mode.
Pump Motor Checking
The ECU performs a pump motor test at a speed of 15km/h once after IGN is switched on.
Diagnostic Interface
Failures detected by the ECU are encoded on the ECU, stored in a EEPROM and read out by diagnostic equipment
when the ignition switch is turned on.
The diagnosis interface can also be used for testing the ECU during production of the ECU and for actuating the HCU
(Air - bleeding line or Roll and Brake Test line).
