REFRIGERANT LEVEL TESTM1552008400408
Use the refrigerant recovery station to remove all of the refrig-
erant, and then calculate the amount of the refrigerant and
charge it.
A/C COMPRESSOR CLUTCH TESTM1552019900032
1. Disconnect the air conditioning compressor clutch connector
to the air conditioning compressor clutch.
2. Connect positive battery voltage directly to the connector for
the air conditioning compressor clutch.
3. If the air conditioning compressor clutch is normal, there will
be a "click." If the pulley and armature do not make contact
("no click"), there is a malfunction.
SIMPLE INSPECTION OF THE A/C PRESSURE
SENSOR
M1552014700118
1. Assemble a gauge manifold on the high pressure service
valve.
2. Disconnect the A/C pressure sensor connector and connect
special tool test harness MB991658 as shown in the illustra-
tion.
3. Turn ON the engine and then turn ON the air conditioner
switch.

PERFORMANCE TEST M1552001400526
The vehicles to be tested should be parked out of direct sun-
light.
1. Close the high and low-pressure valve of the gauge
manifold.
2. Connect the charging hose (blue) to the low-pressure valve
and connect the charging hose (red) to the high-pressure
valve of the gauge manifold.
3. Install the quick joint (for low-pressure) to the charging hose
(blue), and connect the quick joint (for high-pressure) to the
charging hose (red).
To connect the quick joint, press section A firmly
against the service valve until a click is heard.
When connecting, run your hand along the hose while
pressing to ensure that there are no bends in the hose.
4. Connect the quick joint (for low-pressure) to the
low-pressure service valve and connect the quick joint (for
high-pressure) to the high-pressure service valve.
NOTE: The high-pressure service valve is on the A/C pipe
and the low-pressure service valve is on the suction hose.
5. Start the engine.
6. Set the A/C controls as follows:
A/C switch: A/C ON position
Mode selection: FACE position
Temperature control: MAXIMUM COOLING position
Air selection: RECIRCULATION position
Blower switch: Maximum air volume
7. Adjust engine speed to 1,500 r/min with A/C clutch engaged.
8. Engine should be warmed up with doors and windows
closed.
9. Insert a thermometer in the center air outlet and operate the
engine for 20 minutes.
NOTE: If the A/C clutch cycles, take the reading before the
clutch disengages.
10.Note the discharge air temperature.

Sharper bends will reduce the flow of refrigerant. The flexible
hose lines should be routed so that they are at least 80 mm
(3.1 inches) from the exhaust manifold. It is good practice to
inspect all flexible hose lines at least once a year to make sure
they are in good condition and properly routed.
On standard plumbing fittings with O-rings, these O-rings are
not reusable.
AIR CONDITIONING NOISE TEST
You must first know the conditions when the noise occurs.
These conditions are: weather, vehicle speed, in gear or neu-
tral, engine temperature or any other special conditions.
Noises that develop during A/C operation can often be mislead-
ing. For example: what sounds like a failed front bearing or
connecting rod, may be caused by loose bolts, nuts, mounting
brackets, or a loose clutch assembly. Verify accessory drive
belt tension (power steering or generator).
Improper accessory drive belt tension can cause a misleading
noise when the compressor is engaged and little or no noise
when the compressor is disengaged.
Drive belts are speed-sensitive. That is, at different engine
speeds, and depending upon belt tension, belts can develop
unusual noises that are often mistaken for mechanical prob-
lems within the compressor.
Normal air conditioning operation will generate some level of
operational noise. To judge what is normal and abnormal,
requires an understanding of the air conditioning system. This
test is to detail the most common noise complaints and the
repair methods.
VEHICLE CONDITION
1. Ensure the system is not over or under charged.(Refer to
P.55-142).
2. Tighten all compressor mounting bolts, clutch mounting
bolts and compressor drive belt.
3. Inspect layout of the system is correct, ie no interference
between hoses and all retaining clamps are in place.
