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.

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 
performance
↓
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.
AC359A
Gauge indication Refrigerant cycle Probable cause Corrective action
High-pressure side is too high and 
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 
and condenser are clogged or 
crushed.
●Check and repair or replace 
malfunctioning parts.
●Check lubricant for contami-
nation.

3. Move probe along component approximately 25 to 50 mm (1 to
2 in)/sec.
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
