STEP 4. Check A/C-ECU connectors C-15, C-16 and photo
sensor connector C-04 for loose, corroded or damaged
terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.
Q: Are A/C-ECU connectors C-15, C-16 and photo sensor
connector C-04 in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 5.
NO : Repair or replace the connector. Refer to GROUP
00E, Harness Connector Inspection P.00E-2. Check
that the air conditioning works normally.

STEP 5. Check the wiring harness between photo sensor
connector C-04 (terminals 3, 4) and A/C-ECU connector
C-15 (terminal 19), C-16 (terminal 25).
Q: Is the wiring harness between photo sensor connector
C-04 (terminals 3, 4) and A/C-ECU connector C-15
(terminal 19), C-16 (terminal 25) in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 6.
NO : Repair the wiring harness. Check that the air
conditioning works normally.
STEP 6. Replace the photo sensor.
Q: Does the A/C operate normally?
YES : No action is necessary and testing is complete.
NO : Replace the A/C-ECU. Check that the air conditioning
works normally.
STEP 7. Check the refrigerant level.
Use the refrigerant recovery station to remove all of the refrig-
erant, and then calculate the amount of the refrigerant and
charge it.

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

valve.
2. Disconnect the A/C pressure sensor connector and connect
special tool test harness MB991658 as shown in the illustra-
tion.

Use the refrigerant recovery station to charge the refrigerant.
METHOD BY USING REFRIGERANT RECOVERY
AND RECYCLING UNIT
Using the refrigerant recovery and recycling unit, refill the
refrigerant.
NOTE: Refer to the Refrigerant Recovery and Recycling Unit’s
Instruction Manual for operation of the unit.
DISCHARGING SYSTEM
Use the refrigerant recovery unit to discharge refrigerant gas
from the system.
NOTE: Refer to the Refrigerant Recovery and Recycling Unit’s
Instruction Manual for operation of the unit.
REFILLING OF OIL IN THE A/C SYSTEM
Too little oil will provide inadequate compressor lubrication and
cause a compressor failure. Too much oil will increase dis-
charge air temperature.
When a compressor is installed at the factory, it contains 140
ml of refrigerant oil. While the A/C system is in operation, the oil
is carried through the entire system by the refrigerant. Some of
this oil will be trapped and retained in various parts of the sys-
tem.
When the following system components are changed, it is nec-
essary to add oil to the system to replace the oil being removed
with the component.
Compressor oil: ND Oil 8
Quantity:
Evaporator: 40 ml
Condenser: 40 ml

REFRIGERANT LEAK INSPECTION PROCEDUREM1552001500299
LEAK INSPECTION
1. Check for leakage using Special Tool at the following loca-
tions.
Good ventilation is necessary during the leak inspection. If
the surrounding air is contaminated with refrigerant gas,
the inspection readings will not be accurate.
