PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Procedure without Cowl Top Cover
INFOID:0000000012431986
When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, cover
the lower end of windshield with urethane, etc to prevent damage to
windshield.
Precautions For Refrigerant System ServiceINFOID:0000000012431987
WORKING WITH HFC-134a (R-134a)
CAUTION:
• CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant are not compatible. Compressor mal-
function is likely to occur if the refrigerants are mixed, refe r to “CONTAMINATED REFRIGERANT”
below. To determine the purity of HFC-134a (R-134a) in the vehicle and recovery tank, use Refriger-
ant recovery/recycling recharging equi pment and Refrigerant Identifier.
• Use only specified oil for the HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system and HFC-134a (R-134a) components.
Compressor malfunction is likely to occur if oil other than that specified is used.
• The specified HFC-134a (R-134a) oi l rapidly absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. The following
handling precautions must be observed:
- Cap (seal) the component immediately to minimize the entry of moisture from the atmosphere when removing refrigerant components from a vehicle.
- Do not remove the caps (unseal) unti l just before connecting the components when installing refrig-
erant components to a vehicle. Connect all refr igerant loop components as quickly as possible to
minimize the entry of moisture into system.
- Use only the specified oil from a sealed container. Reseal containers of oil immediately. Oil becomes
moisture saturated and should no t be used without proper sealing.
- Do not allow oil to come in contact with styrene foam parts. Damage may result.
GENERAL REFRIGERANT PRECAUTION
WARNING:
• Do not breathe A/C refrigerant and oil vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and throat.
Remove HFC-134a (R-134a) from the A/C system, usin g certified service equipment meeting require-
ments of SAE J-2210 [HFC-134a (R-134a) recycling equipment] or J-2209 [HFC-134a (R-134a) recov-
ery equipment]. Ventilate work area before resumi ng service if accidental system discharge occurs.
Additional health and safety in formation may be obtained from refrigerant and oil manufacturers.
• Do not release refrigerant into the air. Use ap proved recovery/recycling recharging equipment to
capture the refrigerant each time an air conditioning system is discharged.
• Always wear eye and hand protection (goggles and gloves) when working with any refrigerant or air
conditioning system.
• Do not store or heat refrigerant containers above 52 °C (126° F).
• Do not heat a refrigerant containe r with an open flame; Place the bottom of the container in a warm
pail of water if container warming is required.
• Do not intentionally drop, puncture or incinerate refrigerant containers.
• Do not refrigerant away from op en flames; poisonous gas is produced if refrigerant burns.
• Refrigerant displaces oxygen; therefore be certain to work in well ventilated areas to prevent suffo- cation.
• Do not pressure test or leak test HFC-134a (R-134a) service equipment and/or vehicle air condition-
ing systems with compressed air during repair. Some mixtures of air and HFC-134a (R-134a) have
been shown to be combustible at elevated pressures. These mixtures, if ignited, may cause injury or
property damage. Additional heal th and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant manu-
facturers.
REFRIGERANT CONNECTION
A new type of refrigerant connection has been introduced to al l refrigerant lines except the following locations:

ComponentFunction
1. Compressor Intakes, compresses, discharges and circulates refrigerant.
2. Condenser Cools the high-temperature high-pressure refrigerant discharged from the compressor to
change it into a liquid.
3. Liquid tank Filters and stores a reserve of liquid refrigerant.
4. Pressure sensor Senses refrigerant pressure for proper A/C cycle operation.
5. Evaporator Evaporates refrigerant which removes heat from the air lowering its temperature.
6. Expansion valve Transforms high-pressure liquid refrigerant to low-pressure liquid refrigerant.

OIL
OIL
DescriptionINFOID:0000000012432001
MAINTENANCE OF OIL LEVEL
The compressor oil circulates in the system together with the refrigerant. It is necessary to add oil to the com-
pressor when replacing A/C system components or when a large amount of refrigerant leaks from the system.
It is important to always maintain oil level within t he specified level. Otherwise, the following conditions may
occur.
• Insufficient oil amount: Stuck compressor
• Excessive oil amount: Insufficient cooling (caused by insufficient heat exchange)
InspectionINFOID:0000000012432002
If a compressor is malfunctioning (internal noise, insufficient cooling), check the compressor oil.
1.COMPRESSOR OIL JUDGMENT
1. Remove the compressor. Refer to HA-26, "
Removal and Installation".
2. Sample the compressor oil and judge on the figure.
Judgement result 1>>Replace compressor only.
Judgement result 2>>Replace compressor and condenser (includes liquid tank).
Perform Oil Retu rn OperationINFOID:0000000012432003
CAUTION:
If a large amount of refrigerant or oil leaks from the system, do not perform oil return operation.
1. Start the engine and set the front air control to the following conditions. • Engine speed: Idling to 1,200 rpm
• A/C switch: ON
• Blower speed: Maximum
• Intake door position: Recirculation
• Temperature setting: Full cold
2. Perform oil return operation for approximately 10 minutes.
3. Stop the engine.
4. Oil return operation is complete.
Oil Adjusting Procedure for Compon ents Replacement Except Compressor
INFOID:0000000012432004
Add the amount of oil that is calculated according to the following conditions.
Example: Oil amount to be added when replacing evaporator [m (Imp fl oz.)] = 35 (1.2) + α
Name A/C System Oil Type: DH-PR
JSIIA0927GB
