EGR SYSTEM CHECKM1173002600348
1. Disconnect the vacuum hose (Green stripe) from
the EGR valve, and then connect a hand vacuum
pump via the three-way terminal.
2. When the engine is hot or cold, check the
condition of vacuum by racing the engine.
When engine is cold
(Engine coolant temperature: 20°C or less)
When engine is hot
(Engine coolant temperature: 80°C or higher)
3. Disconnect the three-way terminal.4. Connect the hand vacuum pump to the EGR
valve nipple.
5. Check whether the engine stalls or the idling is
unstable when a vacuum of 30 kPa or higher is
applied during idling.
EGR VALVE CHECKM1173002800223
1. Remove the EGR valve and inspect for sticking,
carbon deposits, etc. If found, clean with a
suitable solvent so that the valve seats correctly.
2. Connect a hand vacuum pump to the EGR valve.
3. Apply 67 kPa of vacuum, and check that the
vacuum is maintained.
4. Apply a vacuum and check the passage of air by
blowing through one side of the EGR passage. Throttle valve Normal vacuum condition

a hand vacuum pump to the nipple.
2. Plug the vacuum hose (Green stripe).
3. Start the engine and check that, after raising the
engine speed by racing the engine, purge vacuum
raises according to engine speed.
NOTE: If there is a problem with change in
vacuum, the throttle body purge port may be
clogged and require cleaning.
EGR PORT VACUUM CHECK <4G6>M1173002900156
1. Disconnect the vacuum hose (White stripe) from
the throttle body EGR vacuum nipple and connect
a hand vacuum pump to the nipple.
2. Plug the vacuum hose (White stripe).
3. Start the engine.
4. Check that a fairly constant negative is generated
regardless of the engine speed.
5. If no negative pressure is generated, the port is
probably blocked and should be cleaned.

CHARGING M1552001200362
1. With the handles turned back all the way (valve
closed), install the adaptor valve to the
low-pressure side of the gauge manifold.
2. Connect the charging hose (blue) to the adaptor
valve.
3. Connect the quick joint (for low-pressure) to the
charging hose (blue).
CAUTION
•Use tools that are suited to R134a.
•To install the quick joint, press section 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.
NOTE: The low-pressure service valve should be
connected to the flexible suction hose.5. Close the high and low-pressure valves of the
gauge manifold.
CAUTION
Be sure to connect the power plug of the vacuum
pump to the vacuum pump adapter, and then
connect the power plug of the adapter to a 100-V
outlet.
6. Install the vacuum pump adaptor to the vacuum
pump.
7. Connect the charging hose (yellow) to the R-134a
connection port of the vacuum pump adaptor.
8. Tighten the adaptor valve handle (valve open).
9. Open the low-pressure valve of the gauge
manifold.
10.Turn the power switch of the vacuum pump to the
ON position.
NOTE: Even if the vacuum pump power switch is
turned ON, the vacuum pump will not operate
because of the power supply connection in step
(6).
CAUTION
Do not operate the compressor for evacuation.
11.Turn the vacuum pump adaptor switch to the
R134a side to start the vacuum pump.
12.Evacuate to a vacuum reading of 100 kPa or
higher (takes approx. 10 minutes).

CAUTION
Do not operate the compressor in the vacuum
condition; damage may occur.
13.Loosen the valve of the adapter valve fully (valve
closed), and turn off the vacuum pump adapter
switch. Then leave it for five minutes.
14.Check the system for proper sealing (negative
pressure should not decrease).
15.Connect the service can valve to the service can
with the handle loosened fully (valve closed).
16.Turn the handle of the adaptor valve back all the
way (valve closed), remove it from the gauge
manifold and install the service can.
17.Tighten the handle of the charging valve (valve
closed) to puncture the service can.
CAUTION
If the service can is inverted, liquid refrigerant
may be drawn into the compressor damaging it
by liquid compression. Keep the service can
upright to ensure that refrigerant is charged in
gas state.
18.Turn the handle of the charging valve back (valve
open) and tighten the handle of the adaptor valve
(valve open) to charge the system with refrigerant.
19.If the refrigerant is not drawn in, turn the handle of
the adaptor valve back all the way (valve closed).
20.Check for gas leaks using a leak detector. If a gas
leak is detected, re-tighten the connections, and
then repeat the charging procedure from
evacuation in step (11).
CAUTION
The leak detector for R-134a should be used.
21.Start the engine.
22.Operate the A/C and set to the lowest
temperature (MAX. COOL).
23.Fix the engine speed at 1,500 r/min.
CAUTION
If the service can is inverted, liquid refrigerant
may be drawn into the compressor damaging it
by liquid compression. Keep the service can
upright to ensure that refrigerant is charged in
gas state.
24.Tighten the handle of the adaptor valve (valve
open) to charge the required volume of
refrigerant.
