SERVICE HOSES
Be certain that the service hoses display the markings described
(colored hose with black stripe). All hoses must include positive shut
-off devices (either manual or automatic) near the end of the hoses
opposite to the manifold gauge.
SERVICE COUPLERS
Never attempt to connect HFC-134a (R-134a) service couplers to a
CFC-12 (R-12) A/C system. The HFC-134a (R-134a) couplers will
not properly connect to the CFC-12 (R-12) system. However, if an
improper connection is attempted, discharging and contamination
may occur.
REFRIGERANT WEIGHT SCALE
Verify that no refrigerant other than HFC-134a (R-134a) and speci-
fied lubricants have been used with the scale. If the scale controls
refrigerant flow electronically, the hose fitting must be 1/2″-16
ACME.
CHARGING CYLINDER
Using a charging cylinder is not recommended. Refrigerant may be vented into air from cylinder’s top valve
when filling the cylinder with refrigerant. Also, the accuracy of the cylinder is generally less than that of an
electrical scale or of quality recycle/recharge equipment.

Potentio Temperature Control (PTC)
The PTC is built into the A/C controller. It can be set at an interval of
1°C (2.0°F) in the 18°C (60°F) to 32°C (90°F) temperature range by
turning the temperature control dial.
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE FOR A/C SYSTEM
SYMPTOM: A/C system does not come on.
1. CHECK POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP.
1. Disconnect unified meter connector and A/C amp. connector.
2. Check voltage between unified meter and A/C amp. harness
connector M49 terminal 21 and 22, unified meter and A/C amp.
harness connector M50 terminal 46 and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> Check 10A and 15A fuses [Nos. 10, 11, 12 and 19, located in the fuse block (J/B)]. Refer to PG-
85, "FUSE BLOCK - JUNCTION BOX (J/B)" .

If fuses are OK, check harness for open circuit. Repair or replace if necessary.

If fuses are NG, check harness for short circuit and replace fuse.

1. CHECK POWER SUPPLY FOR BLOWER MOTOR
1. Disconnect blower motor connector.
2. Turn ignition switch ON.
3. Check voltage between blower motor harness connector M62
terminal 1 and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> Check power supply circuit and 15A fuses [Nos. 10 and
11, located in the fuse block (J/B)]. Refer to PG-85,
"FUSE BLOCK - JUNCTION BOX (J/B)" .

If fuse are OK, check harness for open circuit. Repair or replace if necessary.

If fuse are NG, check harness for short circuit and replace fuse.
2. CHECK GROUND CIRCUIT FOR BLOWER MOTOR
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Check continuity between blower motor harness connector M62
terminal 3 and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 3.
NG >> Repair harness or connector.
3. CHECK CIRCUIT CONTINUITY BETWEEN BLOWER MOTOR AND UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP.
1. Disconnect unified meter connector and A/C amp. connector.
2. Check continuity between blower motor harness connector M62
terminal 2 and unified meter and A/C amp. harness connector
M50 terminal 53.

Low-pressure Side Becomes Negative
Gauge indication Refrigerant cycle Probable cause Corrective action
Low-pressure side sometimes
becomes negative.

Air conditioning system
does not function and does
not cyclically cool the com-
partment air.

The system constantly func-
tions for a certain period of
time after compressor is
stopped and restarted.Refrigerant does not dis-
charge cyclically.
↓
Moisture is frozen at expan-
sion valve outlet and inlet.
↓
Water is mixed with refriger-
ant.

Drain water from refrigerant
or replace refrigerant.

Replace liquid tank.

Gauge indication Refrigerant cycle Probable cause Corrective action
Low-pressure side becomes nega-
tive.
Liquid tank or front/rear side of
expansion valve’s pipe is
frosted or wet with dew.High-pressure side is closed
and refrigerant does not flow.
↓
Expansion valve or liquid tank
is frosted.Leave the system at rest until
no frost is present. Start it
again to check whether or not
the malfunction is caused by
water or foreign particles.

If water is the cause, initially
cooling is okay. Then the
water freezes causing a
blockage. Drain water from
refrigerant or replace refrig-
erant.

If due to foreign particles,
remove expansion valve
and remove the particles
with dry and compressed air
(not shop air).

If either of the above meth-
ods cannot correct the mal-
function, replace expansion
valve.

Replace liquid tank.

Check lubricant for contami-
nation.

Ambient Sensor CircuitNJS0001A
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Ambient Sensor
The ambient sensor is attached on the hood lock stay. It detects
ambient temperature and converts it into a resistance value which is
then input into the unified meter and A/C amp.
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE INPUT PROCESS
The unified meter and A/C amp. includes a processing circuit for the ambient sensor input. However, when the
temperature detected by the ambient sensor increases quickly, the processing circuit retards the unified meter
and A/C amp. function. It only allows the unified meter and A/C amp. to recognize an ambient temperature
increase of 0.33°C (0.6°F) per 100 seconds.
As an example, consider stopping for a few minutes after high speed driving. Although the actual ambient tem-
perature has not changed, the temperature detected by the ambient sensor will increase. This is because the
heat from the engine compartment can radiate to the front bumper area, location of the ambient sensor.
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE FOR AMBIENT SENSOR
SYMPTOM: Ambient sensor circuit is open or shorted. (LED of A/C
switch does not illuminate as a result of performing self-diagnosis
STEP-2.)
1. CHECK VOLTAGE BETWEEN AMBIENT SENSOR AND GROUND
1. Disconnect ambient sensor connector.
2. Turn ignition switch ON.
3. Check voltage between ambient sensor harness connector E34
terminal 1 and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> GO TO 4.
