(4) Release the secured connector of the steering
wheel - driver’s air bag module assembly to cut off
the connector from the harness with a nipper and
etc. Connect deployment harnesses to each of two
separated harnesses and cover the area with
insulation tape.
(5) Use a rope to tie the steering wheel - driver’s air bag
module assembly to secure old tyres with wheels.
(6) Route the deployment harness connected to driver’s
air bag module beneath old tyres with wheels. Then,
secure the steering wheel - driver’s air bag module
assembly with the deployment surface facing up.
(7) Place three old tyres without wheels on the tyre
secured with the driver’s air bag module.
(8) Separate the deployment harnesses as far from the
driver’s side air bag module as possible and connect
to the terminals of the battery removed from the
vehicle. Then deploy.
Caution
1) Before the deployment, see that no one is near
around the driver’s air bag module.
2) The deployment makes the inflator of the
driver’s air bag very hot. Before handling the
inflator, wait more than 30 minutes for cooling.
3) If the driver’s air bag module fails to deploy
although the procedure is respected, do not go
near the module. Contact your local
distributor.
(9) Discard the deployed air bag module as specified
in Deployed Air Bag Module Disposal Procedures.

(6) Disconnect the deployment harnesses as far from
the front passenger’s air bag module as possible and
connect the harnesses to the battery removed from
the vehicle.
Caution
1) Before the deployment, see that no one is near
the front passenger’s air bag module.
2) The deployment makes the inflator of the front
passenger’s air bag very hot. Before handling
the inflator, wait more than 30 minutes for
cooling.
3) If the front passenger’s air bag module fails to
deploy although the procedure is respected,
do not go near the module. Contact your local
distributor.
(7) Discard the deployed air bag module as specified
in Deployed Air Bag Module Disposal Procedures.
(Refer to P.52B-75.)
Seat belt pre-tensioner
(1) Remove the seat belt with pre-tensioner from the
vehicle. (Refer to P.52B-61.)
Caution
Once disconnected, both electrodes of the seat
belt pre-tensioner are short-circuited
automatically to prevent accidental deployment
caused by static etc. Still, in consideration of the
accidental deployment, store the air bag module
on flat place with deployment surface facing up.
Also, do not put anything on it.
(2) Connect deployment harness 6 m or longer with the
SRS air bag adapter harness respectively. Insulate
the connection with tape.
Moreover, the ends of the operation harness should
be connected (short-circuited) to each other. Thus,
it prevents the seat belt pre-tensioner from accidental
deployment caused by static and etc.

(3) Route a thick wire through the holes in the seat belt
retractor bracket to secure at the top of the wheel
(convex part). (two locations)
(4) Connect the seat belt pre-tensioner connector to the
the SRS air bag adapter harness with the operation
harness attached.
(5) Pull out the seat belt outside the tyre.
Caution
Place the connector of the SRS air bag adapter
harness so that it is not clamped by the tyres at
deployment.
(6) Place an old tyre (without a wheel) on the tyre, which
the seat belt with pre-tensioner is secured on.
(7) Disconnect the deployment harness as far fromthe
seat belt pre-tensioner as possible and connect the
both terminals of the battery removed from the vehicle.
Then deploy.
Caution
1) Before the deployment, see that no one is near
the seat belt pre-tensioner.
2) Before handling the insulator, wait for a while
for cooling.
3) If the seat belt pre-tensioner fails to operate
although the procedure is respected, do not go
near the seat belt pre-tensioner. Contact your
local distributor.
(8) Discard the operated seat belt pre-tensioner

DEPLOYED AIR BAG MODULE OR OPERATED
SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER DISPOSAL
PROCEDURES
Discard the deployed air bag module or the operated seat
belt with pre-tensioner paying attention to the following items.
1. The deployment makes the inflator of the air bag or the
operation of the seat belt pre-tensioner very hot. Wait
for more than 30 minutes for cooling before handling
the inflator.
2. Do not apply any water or oil onto the deployed air bag
module or the operated seat belt pre-tensioner.
3. Wear gloves and protective glasses before handing the
deployed air bag module or the operated seat belt
pre-tensioner since materials on those parts may cause
irritation to eyes or skin.
Caution
If after following these precautions, any material does
get into the eyes or on the skin, immediately rinse the
affected area with a large amount of clean water.
If any irritation develops, seek medical attention.
4. Discard the air bag module and the seat belt with
pre-tensioner after placing them into a strong vinyl bag
for sealing.
5. Be sure to always wash your hands after completing this
operation.

PERFORMANCE TEST
1. The vehicles to be tested should be in a place that is
not in direct sunlight.
2. Close the high and low-pressure valve of the gauge
manifold.
3. 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.
4. 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).
5. 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 liquid pipe A and the
low-pressure service valve is on the suction hose.
Caution
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.
6. Start the engine.
7. Set the controls to the A/C as follows:
DA/C switch: A/C - ON position
DMode selection: Face position
DTemperature control: Max. cooling position
DAir selection: Recirculation position
DBlower switch: HI (Fast) position
8. Keep engine speed to idling speed with A/C clutch engaged.
9. Engine should be warmed up with doors and all windows
opened.
10. Insert a thermometer in the center A/C outlet and operate
the engine for 20 minutes.
11. Note the discharge air temperature.
NOTE
If the clutch cycles, take the reading before the clutch
disengages.

AB"DRIVE BELT REMOVAL
Due to the adoption of the Serpentine drive system with the
automatic tensioner, the following operation is required for
removing the drive belt:
1. Insert the 12.7sq. spinner handle into the tool hole of
the automatic tensioner and rotate it counterclockwise
until the automatic tensioner reaches to the stopper.
2. Align hole A with hole B for fixing by inserting the
L - shaped hexagon wrench, then remove the drive
belt.
Caution
When the drive belt is reused, use a chalk to indicate
an arrow of rotation direction on the back of the belt
so that it can be re - assembled in the same direction
as before.
AC"COMPRESSOR REMOVAL
Take care not to spill any compressor oil when removing
the compressor.
INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS
"AACOMPRESSOR INSTALLATION
When installing a new compressor, first adjust the oil level
as follows.
1. Measure the oil in the compressor you removed.
(X cm
3)
2. Drain the amount of oil calculated by the following formula
from the new compressor. Now install the compressor.
130 cm
3–Xcm3=Ycm3
NOTE
(1) 130 cm3indicates the amount of oil sealed in the
new compressor at the factory.
(2) Y cm
3indicates the amount of oil in the refrigerant
line, compressor, and cooling unit.
INSPECTION
Compressor Magnetic Clutch Operation Check
Connect the compressor connector terminal to the battery
positive (+) terminal and ground the battery’s negative ( - )
terminal to the compressor unit. At that time, the magnetic
clutch should make a definite operating sound.

Using a special tool, as when removing the nut, secure the
armature and tighten the self-locking nut.
"DAAIR GAP ADJUSTMENT
Apply voltage from the battery to the magnetic clutch and
check that the clutch air gap is inside the type. value.
If outside the type. value, use a shim to adjust the gap.
Standard value: 0.3 – 0.5 mm
NOTE
The shims are available in 0.05 mm steps across the thickness
range 0.35 - 0.70 mm, and in 0.1 mm steps of thickness.
INSPECTION
Cooling temperature switch
1. Dip the metal part of the cooling temperature switch into
engine oil and increase the oil temperature using a gas
burner or similar.
Caution
Do not heat more than necessary.
2. When the oil temperature reaches the type. value, check
that voltage is supplied between the terminals.
