7. If it is not within the standard value, the probable
cause is a malfunction of the oil line or steering
gear, so check these parts and repair as
necessary.
8. Turn the steering wheel all the way to the left or
right; then check whether or not the retention
hydraulic pressure is the standard value.
Standard value: 8.8 − 9.5 MPa
9. If not the standard value, overhaul the steering
gear. Remeasure fluid pressure.
10. Remove the special tools, and then tighten the
pressure hose to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 57 ± 7 N⋅m
11. Bleed the system (Refer to P.37-13).

1. Disconnect the pressure hose from the oil pump,
and then connect the following special tools.
•MB990662: Power Steering Oil Pressure Gauge
•MB991548: Power Steering Oil Pressure Gauge
Adapter (pump side)
•MB991549: Power Steering Oil Pressure Gauge
Adapter (hose side)2. Bleed air, and then turn the steering wheel several
times while the vehicle is not moving so that the
temperature of the fluid rises to approximately 50
− 60°C.
3. The engine should be idling.
4. Disconnect the connector for the oil pressure
switch, and place an ohmmeter at the switch.
5. Gradually close the shut-off valve of the pressure
gauge and increase the hydraulic pressure, then
check whether or not the hydraulic pressure that
activates the switch is the standard value.
Standard value: 1.5 − 2.0 MPa
6. Gradually open the shut-off valve and reduce the
hydraulic pressure; then check whether or not the
hydraulic pressure that deactivates the switch is
the standard value.
Standard value: 0.7 − 2.0 MPa
7. Remove the special tools, and then tighten the
pressure hose to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 57 ± 7 N⋅m
8. Bleed the system (Refer to P.37-13).
TIE ROD END BALL JOINT DUST COVER
CHECK
M1372008600262
1. Press the dust cover with your finger to check
whether the dust cover is cracked or damaged.
2. If the dust cover is cracked or damaged, replace
the tie rod end.
NOTE: If the dust cover is cracked or damaged,
the ball joint could be damaged.
STEERING COLUMN SHAFT ASSEMBLY
SHOCK ABSORBING MECHANISM
CHECK
M1372013500090
If a collision accident occurs or severe impact is
applied on the steering wheel, the collision energy
absorbing mechanism may have operated. Once the
mechanism has operated, it will be inoperative even
it has suffered no apparent damage. Determine if the
steering column shaft can be reused by the following
procedure. If the collision energy absorbing
mechanism has already operated, replace the
steering column shaft assembly.
If any excessive radial free play on the steering
wheel is found with the tilt lever in the lock position,
always check the steering shaft assembly.

low-pressure service valve.
NOTE: The low-pressure service valve should be
connected to the suction hose.
8. Start the engine.
9. Operate the air conditioner and set at the lowest
temperature (MAX. COOL).
10.Fix the engine speed at 1,500 r/min.
11.Tighten the handle of the adaptor valve (valve
open), and replenish refrigerant while checking
the quantity through the sight glass.
12.After replenishing is completed, turn the handle of
the adaptor valve all the way back (valve close),
and remove the quick joint.
NOTE: When there is remainder of refrigerant in
the service can, keep it for next use with the
charge value and the valve of the adaptor valve
being closed.
DISCHARGING SYSTEMM1552013000105
Use the refrigerant recovery unit to discharge
refrigerant gas from the system.
NOTE: Refer to the Refrigerant Recovery and
Recycling Unit instruction Manual for operation of the
unit.
REFILLING OF OIL IN THE A/C SYSTEMM1552020000033
Too little oil will provide inadequate compressor
lubrication and cause a compressor failure. Too
much oil will increase discharge air temperature.
When a compressor is installed at the factory, it
contains 140mL <1300, 1600> or 120 mL <2000> of
compressor 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 system.
When the following system components are
changed, it is necessary to add oil to the system to
replace the oil being removed with the component.
Compressor oil: SUN PAG 56
Quantity
Evaporator: 60 mL
Condenser: 15 mL

REFRIGERANT LEAK REPAIR
PROCEDURE
M1552001500277
LOST CHARGE
If the system has lost all charge due to a leak:
1. Evacuate the system (Refer to P.55-72).
2. Charge the system with approximately 480 − 520
g of refrigerant.
3. Check for leaks.
4. Discharge the system.
5. Repair leaks.
CAUTION
Replacement filter-drier units must be sealed
while in storage. The drier used in these units will
saturate water quickly upon exposure to the
atmosphere. When installing a drier, have all
tools and supplies ready for quick assembly to
avoid keeping the system open any longer than
necessary.
6. Replace receiver drier.
7. Evacuate and charge system.
LOW CHARGE
If the system has not lost all of its refrigerant charge;
locate and repair all leaks. If it is necessary to
increase the system pressure to find the leak
(because of an especially low charge) add
refrigerant. If it is possible to repair the leak without
discharging the refrigerant system, use the
procedure for correcting low refrigerant level.
HANDLING TUBING AND FITTINGS
Kinks in the refrigerant tubing or sharp bends in the
refrigerant hose lines will greatly reduce the capacity
of the entire system. High pressures are produced in
the system when it is operating. Extreme care must
be exercised to make sure that all connections are
pressure tight. Dirt and moisture can enter the
system when it is opened for repair or replacement of
lines or components. The following precautions must
be observed. The system must be completely
discharged before opening any fitting of connection
in the refrigeration system. Open fittings with caution
even after the system has been discharged. If any
pressure is noticed as a fitting is loosened, allow
trapped pressure to bleed off very slowly.
Never attempt to rebend formed lines to fit. Use the
correct line for the installation you are servicing. A
good rule for the flexible hose lines is keep the radius
of all bends at least 10 times the diameter of the
hose.Sharper bends will reduce the flow of refrigerant. The
flexible hose lines should be routed so that they are
at least 80 mm 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.
COMPRESSOR NOISE CHECKM1552008700272
You must first know the conditions when the noise
occurs. These conditions are: weather, vehicle
speed, in gear or neutral, engine temperature or any
other special conditions.
Noises that develop during A/C operation can often
be misleading. 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 alternator).
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 problems within the
compressor.
ADJUSTMENT
1. Select a quiet area for testing. Duplicate
conditions as much as possible. Switch the
compressor on and off several times to clearly
identify compressor noise. To duplicate high
ambient conditions (high head pressure), restrict
air flow through the condenser. Install a manifold
gauge set to make sure discharge pressure
doesn't exceed 2,070 kPa.
2. Tighten all compressor mounting bolts, clutch
mounting bolt, and compressor drive belt. Check
to assure clutch coil is tight (no rotation or
wobble).
3. Check refrigerant hoses for rubbing or
interference that can cause unusual noises.
4. Check refrigerant charge (Refer to P.55-69).
5. Recheck compressor noise as in Step 1.
6. If noise still exists, loosen compressor mounting
bolts and retighten. Repeat Step 1.
7. If noise continues, replace compressor and repeat
Step 1.
