DESCRIPTION
Slight variations exist among manual A/C-heater systems used.
On Montero, a Nippondenso 10-cylinder compressor is used. Cycling of
compressor clutch is controlled by an automatic A/C Control Unit
(ACCU).
Compressors will only operate within normal temperatures and
pressures set for each model. An electric condenser fan operates
whenever A/C system is operating. System components may vary depending
upon model. Systems may include an ACCU, fan switch, evaporator,
temperature sensor, dual-pressure switch, engine coolant temperature
switch, compressor, condenser, receiver-drier and various pipes and
hoses.
OPERATION
A/C CONTROL UNIT (ACCU)
ACCU controls cycling of compressor clutch based on
information received from air thermosensor and air inlet sensor, dual-
pressure switch, A/C switch and A/C engine coolant temperature switch.
ACCU is attached to top of evaporator housing.

Other Means Of Identification
Refrigerant R-134a, when viewed through a sight glass, may
have a "milky" appearance due to the mixture of refrigerant and
lubricating oil. As the refrigerant and oil DO NOT exhibit a "clear"
sight glass on a properly charged A/C system, most R-134a systems have
no sight glass.
REFRIGERANT OILS
NOTE: Use ONLY the specified oil for the appropriate system or A/C
compressor. Always check vehicle underhood A/C specification
label or A/C compressor label before adding refrigerant oil
to A/C compressor/system. See Figs. 2 and 3. Always use
refrigerant oil specified on vehicle underhood A/C
specification label if different from the following list.
Refrigerant R-12 based systems use mineral oil, while R-134a
systems use Polyalkylene Glycol (PAG) oils. Using a mineral oil based
lubricant with R-134a will result in A/C compressor failure due to
lack of proper lubrication. The following R-134a refrigerant oils are
currently specified:
Use DENSO/ND-Oil 8 refrigerant oil on Nippondenso
compressors. Use SUN PAG 56 refrigerant oil on Sanden compressors.
NOTE: PAG oils absorb moisture very rapidly, 2.3-5.6 percent by
weight, as compared to a mineral oil absorption rate of
0.005 percent by weight.
SERVICE EQUIPMENT
A/C systems using R-134a refrigerant and PAG lubricants
cannot use R-12 refrigerant or mineral oil lubricants. R-134a
refrigerant is NOT compatible or interchangeable with R-12
refrigerant. Separate sets of hoses, manifold gauge sets and
recovery/recycling equipment are required to service the different
systems. This is necessary to avoid cross-contaminating and damaging
A/C system. A single set of A/C service equipment cannot be cleaned
thoroughly enough to be used with both types of refrigerant.
All equipment used to service A/C systems using R-134a must
be U.L. listed and certified to meet SAE standard J2210. The service
hoses on the manifold gauge set must have manual (turn wheel) or
automatic back-flow valves at the service port connector ends. This
will prevent refrigerant from being released into the atmosphere.
For identification purposes, R-134a service hoses must have a
Black stripe along its length and be clearly labeled SAE J2196/R-134a.
The low pressure test hose is Blue with a Black stripe. The high
pressure test hose is Red with a Black stripe, and the center test
hose is Yellow with a Black stripe.
R-134a manifold gauge sets can be identified by one or all of
the following: Labeled FOR USE WITH R-134a on set, labeled HFC-134a or
R-134a on gauge face, or by a Light Blue color on gauge face. In
addition, pressure/temperature scales on R-134a gauge sets are
different from R-12 manifold gauge sets.
SYSTEM SERVICE VALVES
SCHRADER-TYPE VALVES
NOTE: Although similar in construction and operation to a tire
valve, NEVER replace a Schrader-type valve with a tire valve.
Page 105 of 1501
Schrader valve is similar in construction and operation to a
tire valve. When a test gauge hose with built-in valve core depressor
is attached, Schrader stem is pushed inward to the open position and
allows system pressure to reach gauge.
If test hose does not have a built-in core depressor, an
adapter must be used. Never attach hose or adapter to Schrader valve
unless it is first connected to manifold gauge set.
Refrigerant R-12 Schrader-type valve cores have TV5 thread
size. Refrigerant R-134a Schrader-type valve cores use M6 (Metric)
threads. See Fig. 1.

REFRIGERANT RECOVERY/RECYCLING
Refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment is used to remove
refrigerant from vehicle's A/C system without polluting atmosphere. To
remove and recycle refrigerant, connect the recovery/recycling
equipment and following the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
Removed refrigerant is filtered, dried and stored in a tank
within the recovery/recycling equipment until it is ready to be pumped
back into vehicle A/C system. With refrigerant stored in the
recovery/recycling equipment, A/C system can be opened without
polluting atmosphere.
NOTE: Separate sets of hoses, gauges and refrigerant
recovery/recycling equipment MUST be used for R-12 and
R-134a based systems. DO NOT mix R-12 and R-134a
refrigerants, as their refrigerant oils and desiccants are
not compatible. It is NOT possible to clean equipment
thoroughly enough to prevent cross-contamination of A/C
systems. On systems with R-134a refrigerant, use
Polyalkylene Glycol (PAG) wax-free refrigerant oil.

shaft from differential carrier. DO NOT damage oil seal. On right axle
shaft, remove axle shaft-to-inner shaft flange retaining bolts. Remove
right axle shaft.
CAUTION: Replace circlips on BJ/DOJ splined shaft end.
Installation
1) Install right axle shaft on inner shaft flange. Install
new circlip on DOJ side of left axle shaft. Carefully install left
axle shaft into differential. DO NOT damage oil seal.
2) Reinstall knuckle with front hub assembly. To complete
installation, reverse removal procedure. Install shim and snap ring.
Check axle end play. See Fig. 4. End play should be .016-.028" (.4-.7

as matched set. Side gears and pinion gears must be replaced as
matched set.
Reassembly & Adjustment
1) Install thrust spacers, side gears, pinion washers and
pinion gears in differential case. DO NOT install thrust block (if
equipped) at this time.
2) Install pinion shaft without lock pin. Check pinion and
side gear backlash. Install wooden wedge to lock side gears. See
Fig. 8 . Using dial indicator, measure gear backlash. Backlash should
be .0004-.0030" (.010-.080 mm). Service limit is .008" (.20 mm).
3) Adjust backlash by using different side gear spacers.
Ensure both sides are equally shimmed. Install thrust block (if
equipped) once correct backlash is obtained. Install pinion shaft lock
pin from ring gear side of carrier housing. Securely stake pin in 2
places. Ensure adhesive is removed from ring gear mounting bolts and
gear mounting surface. Clean internal threads with tap.
4) Ensure alignment marks on differential case and ring gear
align. Apply Loctite 271 to bolts, and install ring gear on
differential case. Tighten bolts in diagonal sequence to
specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . Using appropriate adapter,
press on carrier side bearings.
DIFFERENTIAL ASSEMBLY (LIMITED SLIP)
NOTE: Manufacturer does not provide disassembly or reassembly
procedures for locking type differential. Use illustrations
for exploded views of assembly. See Figs. 11 and 12.
NOTE: See PRE-DISASSEMBLY INSPECTION under
DIFFERENTIAL ASSEMBLY (CONVENTIONAL) before disassembling
carrier assembly. For carrier assembly and drive pinion
removal, see DIFFERENTIAL ASSEMBLY (CONVENTIONAL) .
Disassembly
1) Once ring gear is removed, loosen carrier housing screws
in diagonal pattern. Separate cases and remove components. See Fig. 10
. Maintain parts in order of disassembly. Clean all parts in new
solvent.
2) Inspect condition of friction and spring plates and
friction discs. Replace disc and/or plates if worn or heat damaged.
Distortion of discs will cause incorrect clutch pressure. Scratches,
nicks or burrs on components can be repaired with an oil stone.
3) Discs must be flat and free of distortion. Check discs on
surface plate with dial indicator. Maximum warpage of friction plate
or disc is .003" (.08 mm). Inspect thickness of discs and plates.
Thickness limit between discs and plates is .004" (.10 mm).
