TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FOR UNUSUAL PRESSURE
Whenever system’s high and/or low side pressure(s) is/are unusual, diagnose using a manifold gauge. The
marker above the gauge scale in the following tables indicates the standard (usual) pressure range. Since the
standard (usual) pressure, however, differs from vehicle to vehicle, refer to above table (Ambient air tempera-
ture-to-operating pressure table).

Both High- and Low-pressure Sides are Too Low
Gauge indication Refrigerant cycle Probable cause Corrective action
Both high- and low-pressure
sides are too high.Pressure is reduced soon af-
ter water is splashed on con-
denser.Excessive refrigerant charge in refrig-
eration cycle.Reduce refrigerant until
specified pressure is ob-
tained.
Air suction by cooling fan is in-
sufficient.Insufficient condenser cooling perfor-
mance.
↓
1. Condenser fins are clogged.
2. Improper fan rotation of cooling
fan.• Clean condenser.
• Check and repair cooling
fan if necessary.
• Low-pressure pipe is not
cold.
• When compressor is
stopped high-pressure val-
ue quickly drops by approx-
imately 196 kPa (1.96 bar, 2
kg/cm
2 , 28 psi). It then de-
creases gradually thereaf-
ter.Poor heat exchange in condenser
(After compressor operation stops,
high-pressure decreases too slowly.).
↓
Air in refrigeration cycle.Evacuate repeatedly and
recharge system.
Engine tends to overheat. Engine cooling systems malfunction.Check and repair each en-
gine cooling system.
• An area of the low-pressure
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 discharge
flow.
• Expansion valve is open a little
compared with the specification.

ment.Replace expansion valve.

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 re-
place malfunctioning
parts.
• Check oil for contami-
nation.

Gauge indication Refrigerant cycle Probable cause Corrective action
High-pressure side is too low
and low-pressure side is too
high.High- and low-pressure sides
become equal soon after com-
pressor operation stops.Compressor pressure operation
is improper.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Insufficient Heating
INFOID:0000000001704307
SYMPTOM: Insufficient heating
INSPECTION FLOW
1.CONFIRM SYMPTOM BY PERFORMING OPERATIONAL CHECK - TEMPERATURE DECREASE
1. Turn temperature control dial clockwise to maximum heat position.
2. Check for hot air at discharge air outlets.
Can the symptom be duplicated?
YES >> GO TO 3.
NO >> GO TO 2.
2.CHECK FOR ANY SYMPTOMS
Perform a complete operational check for any symptoms. Refer to MTC-30, "
Operational Check" .
Does another symptom exist?
YES >> Refer to MTC-22, "How to Perform Trouble Diagnosis for Quick and Accurate Repair" .
NO >> System OK.
3.CHECK FOR SERVICE BULLETINS
Check for any service bulletins.
>> GO TO 4.
4.CHECK COOLANT SYSTEM
1. Check engine coolant level. Refer to CO-8
.
2. Check hoses for leaks or kinks.
3. Check Radiator cap. Refer to CO-13, "
Checking Radiator Cap" .
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 5.
NG >> Repair/replace as necessary.
5.CHECK AIR MIX DOOR CABLE
Check air mix door cable operation. Refer to MTC-64, "
Air Mix Door Cable Adjustment" .
OK or NG
YES >> GO TO 6.
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 frost-
ed or dewed.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 wa-
ter freezes causing a block-
age. Drain water from
refrigerant or replace refrig-
erant.
• If due to foreign particles, re-
move 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 oil for contamination.
