ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. INSPECT REFRIGERANT VOLUME
(a) Observe the sight glass on the cooler refrigerant liquid
pipe A.
Test conditions:
Running engine at 1,500 rpm
Blower speed control switch at ºHIº
A/C switch ON
Temperature control dial at ºMAX. COOLº
Fully open the doors

(1) Check for gas leakage and repair if nec-
essary
(2) Add refrigerant until bubbles disappear
2No bubbles presentNone, insufficient or too muchRefer 3 and 4
3No temperature difference between com-
pressor inlet and outletEmpty or nearly empty

tector and repair if necessary
(2) Add refrigerant until bubbles disappear
4Considerable temperature difference be-
tween compressor inlet and outlet.Correct or too muchRefer to 5 and 6

erant and collect compressor oil remaining in each component into the cooler compressor as much
as possible.
(c) Stop the engine.
(d) Let the refrigerant gas out.

13. INSPECT COMPRESSOR OIL
(a) When replacing the compressor and magnetic clutch with new one, after gradually removing the refrig-
erant gas from the service valve, drain the following amount of oil from the new compressor and mag-
netic clutch before installation.
Standard:
(Oil capacity inside new compressor and magnetic clutch: 120 + 15 cc (4.1 + 0.51 fl.oz.) ) - (Re-
maining oil amount in the removed compressor and magnetic clutch) = (Oil amount to be re-
moved when replacing)
NOTICE:
When checking the compressor oil level, observe the precautions on the cooler removal/instal-
lation.
Because compressor oil remains in the pipes of the vehicle, if a new compressor and magnetic
clutch is installed without removing some oil inside, the oil amount becomes too much, pre-
venting heat exchange in the refrigerant cycle and causing refrigerant failure.
If the remaining oil in the removed compressor and magnetic clutch is too small in volume,
check for oil leakage.
Be sure to use ND-OIL8 for compressor oil.

MAGNETIC CLUTCH
(a) Temporarily the compressor and magnetic clutch with the
3 bolts.
