ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
SPEEDOMETER CHECK
1. Adjust the pressure of the tyres to the specified level.
2. Set the vehicle onto a speedometer tester and use wheel
chocks to hold the rear wheels.
3. Pull the parking brake lever firmly.
4. To prevent the front wheel from moving from side to side,
attach tension bars to the tie-down hook, and secure
both ends to anchor plates.
5. To prevent the vehicles from starting, attach a chain or
wire to the rear towing hook, and secure the other end
of the chain or wire firmly to an unmovable body.
6. Check if the speedometer indication range is within the
standard values and if the pointer fluctuation is within
the limits.
Caution
Do not operate the clutch suddenly. Do not
increase/decrease speed rapidly while testing.
Standard values:
Vehicle speed km/hSpeedometer indication
allowable errors km/h
4037 – 45
8075 – 88
120113 – 132
160150 – 176
Limit: Pointer fluctuation
(at vehicle speeds of higher than 35 km/h) ±3 km/h
TACHOMETER CHECK
1. Insert a paper clip in the engine speed detection connector
from the harness side, and attach the engine
speedometer.
2. Compare the readings of the engine speedometer and
the tachometer at every engine speed, and check if the
variations are within the standard values.
Standard values:
700 r/min : ±100 r/min
3,000
*1 r/min : ±150 r/min
3,000*2 r/min : +225 to –100 r/min
5,000*1 r/min : ±250 r/min
5,000*2 r/min : +325 to –125 r/min
6,000*1 r/min : ±300 r/min
7,000*2 r/min : +400 to –100 r/min
8,000*3 r/min : +400 to 0 r/min
NOTE
*1: Tachometer measurable up to 8,000 r/min
*2: Tachometer measurable up to 9,000 r/min and one measurable up to 10,000 r/min
*3: Tachometer measureble up to 10,000 r/min

HEATER AND MANUAL AIR CONDITIONER – On-vehicle Service55-8
12. Evacuate to a vacuum reading of 100 kPa or higher (takes
approx. 10 minutes).
Start evacuation
Approx. for 10 minutes up to
100 kPa
Stop evacuation
Refrigerant charging
(until saturated pressure is reached)
Wait for 5 minutes
Air-tight checkIf faulty
Refrigerant charging
Gas leak check*If faultyRetighten connections
*: If the leaking point cannot be located even after
performing a gas leak check, ask an expert for
checking the system.
13. Return the handle of the adapter valve 1 to the original
position (valve closed), turn off the vacuum pump adapter
switch and leave as it is for 5 minutes.
14. Carry out a leak test. (Good if the negative pressure
does not drop.)
15. With the handle turned back all the way (valve open),
install the charging valve to the service can.
16. Remove the adaptor valve 1 from the gauge manifold
and install the service can.
17. Tighten the handle of the charging valve (valve closed)
and puncture the service can.
18. Turn the handle of the charging valve back (valve open)
and tighten the handle of the adaptor valve 1 (valve open)
to charge the system with refrigerant.
19. If the refrigerant is not drawn in, turn the handle of the
adaptor valve 1 back all the way (valve closed).
20. Check for gas leaks using a leak detector.
Caution
The leak detector for R134a 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.
24. Tighten the handle of the adaptor valve 1 (valve open)
to charge the required volume of refrigerant.
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.
25. After charging with refrigerant, turn the handle of the
adaptor valve 1 back all the way (valve closed).
26. Tighten the charging valve handle (valve closed).
