REFRIGERATION SYSTEM
CSV613 Variable Displacement Compressor
EJS001Z2
GENERAL INFORMATION
1. The CSV613 compressor differs from previous units. The vent temperatures of the CSV613 compressor
do not drop too far below 5°C (41°F) when:
Evaporator intake air temperature is less than 20°C (68°F).
Engine is running at speeds less than 1,500 rpm.
This is because the CSV613 compressor provides a means of “capacity” control.
2. The CSV613 compressor provides refrigerant control under varying conditions. During cold winters, it may
not produce high refrigerant pressure discharge (compared to previous units) when used with air condi-
tioning systems.
3. A “clanking” sound may occasionally be heard during refrigerant charge. The sound indicates that the tilt
angle of the swash plate has changed and is not a problem.
4. For air conditioning systems with the CSV613 compressor, the clutch remains engaged unless: the sys-
tem main switch, fan switch or ignition switch is turned OFF. When ambient (outside) temperatures are
low or when the amount of refrigerant is insufficient, the clutch is disengaged to protect the compressor.
5. A constant range of suction pressure is maintained when engine speed is greater than a certain value. It
normally ranges from 147 to 177 kPa (1.47 to 1.77 bar, 1.5 to 1.8 kg/cm
2 , 21 to 26 psi) under varying con-
ditions.
In previous compressors, however, suction pressure was reduced with increases in engine speed.
DESCRIPTION
General
The variable compressor is basically a swash plate type that changes piston stroke in response to the required
cooling capacity.

AT C
In the most extreme case (very low ambient) the blower starting delay will be 150 seconds as described
above. After this delay, the blower will operate at low speed until the engine coolant temperature rises above
56°C (133°F), at which time the blower speed will increase to the objective speed.
Start Up From Usual or HOT SOAK Condition (Automatic mode)
The blower will begin operation momentarily after the A/C button is pushed. The blower speed will gradually
rise to the objective speed over a time period of 3 seconds or less (actual time depends on the objective
blower speed).
Blower Speed Compensation
Sunload
When the in-vehicle temperature and the set temperature are very close, the blower will be operating at low
speed. The low speed will vary depending on the sunload. During conditions of low or no sunload, the blower
low speed is usual low speed (approx. 4V). During high sunload conditions, the auto amp causes the blower
fan speed to increase.(Approx. 7V)
Fan Speed Control Specification
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Fan Control Amplifier
The fan control amplifier is located on the heater & cooling unit. The
fan control amp. receives a gate voltage from the auto amp. to step-
lessly maintain the blower fan motor voltage in the 4 to 12 volt range.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE FOR BLOWER MOTOR
SYMPTOM: Blower motor operation is malfunctioning under starting
fan speed control.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
TROUBLE DIAGNOSES FOR UNUSUAL PRESSURE
Whenever system′s high and/or low side pressure is unusual, diagnose using a manifold gauge. The marker
above the gauge scale in the following tables indicates the standard (usual) pressure range. Since the stan-
dard (usual) pressure, however, differs from vehicle to vehicle, refer to above table (Ambient air temperature-
to-operating pressure table).
Both High and Low-pressure Sides are Too High.
High-pressure Side is Too High and Low-pressure Side is Too Low.
Gauge indication Refrigerant cycle Probable cause Corrective action
Both high and low-pressure sides
are too high.Pressure is reduced soon
after water is splashed on
condenser.Excessive refrigerant charge in
refrigeration cycleReduce refrigerant until spec-
ified pressure is obtained.
Air suction by cooling fan is
insufficient.Insufficient condenser cooling

1. Condenser fins are clogged.
2. Improper fan rotation of cool-
ing fan
●Clean condenser.
●Check and repair cooling
fan as necessary.
●Low-pressure pipe is not
cold.
●When compressor is
stopped high-pressure
value quickly drops by
approximately 196 kPa
(1.96 bar, 2 kg/cm
2 , 28
psi). It then decreases
gradually thereafter.Poor heat exchange in con-
denser
(After compressor operation
stops, high pressure decreases
too slowly.)
↓
Air in refrigeration cycleEvacuate repeatedly and
recharge system.
Engine tends to overheat.Engine cooling systems mal-
function.Check and repair each
engine cooling system.
●An area of the low-pres-
sure pipe is colder than
areas near the evaporator
outlet.
●Plates are sometimes cov-
ered with frost.
●Excessive liquid refrigerant
on low-pressure side
●Excessive refrigerant dis-
charge flow
●Expansion valve is open a lit-
tle compared with the specifi-
cation.
↓
1. Improper expansion valve
installation
2. Improper expansion valve
adjustmentReplace expansion valve.

low-pressure side is too low.
Upper side of condenser and
high-pressure side are hot,
however, liquid tank is not so
hot.High-pressure tube or parts
located between compressor

CHECKING PROCEDURE
To prevent inaccurate or false readings, make sure there is no refrigerant vapor, shop chemicals, or cigarette
smoke in the vicinity of the vehicle. Perform the leak test in calm area (low air/wind movement) so that the
leaking refrigerant is not dispersed.
1. Turn engine OFF.
2. Connect a suitable A/C manifold gauge set to the A/C service ports.
3. Check if the A/C refrigerant pressure is at least 345 kPa (3.45 bar, 3.52 kg/cm
2 , 50 psi) above 16°C
(61°F). If less than specification, recover/evacuate and recharge the system with the specified amount of
refrigerant.
NOTE:
At temperatures below 16°C (61°F), leaks may not be detected since the system may not reach 345 kPa (3.54
kg/cm
2 , 50 psi).
4. Conduct the leak test from the high side (compressor discharge a to evaporator inlet f) to the low side
(evaporator drain hose g to shaft seal i). Refer to AT C - 1 3 4 , "
Components" . Perform a leak check for the
following areas carefully. Clean the component to be checked and move the leak detected probe com-
pletely around the connection/component. ATC-134, "
Components" .
Compressor
Check the fitting of high and low pressure hoses, relief valve and shaft seal.
Liquid tank
Check the refrigerant pressure sensor.
Service valves
Check all around the service valves. Ensure service valve caps are secured on the service valves (to pre-
vent leaks).
NOTE:
After removing A/C manifold gauge set from service valves, wipe any residue from valves to prevent any
false readings by leak detector.
Cooling unit (Evaporator)
With engine OFF, turn blower fan on “High” for at least 15 seconds to dissipate any refrigerant trace in the
cooling unit. Wait a minimum of 10 minutes accumulation time (refer to the manufacturer′s recommended
procedure for actual wait time) before inserting the leak detector probe into the drain hose.
Keep the probe inserted for at least 10 seconds. Use caution not to contaminate the probe tip with water
or dirt that may be in the drain hose.
5. If a leak detector detects a leak, verify at least once by blowing compressed air into area of suspected
leak, then repeat check as outlined above.
6. Do not stop when one leak is found. Continue to check for additional leaks at all system components.
If no leaks are found, perform steps 7 - 10.
7. Start engine.
8. Set the heater A/C control as follows;
a. A/C switch: ON
b. Face mode
c. Intake position: Recirculation
d. Max cold temperature
e. Fan speed: High
