Control Operation
FAN CONTROL KNOB
This knob turns the fan ON and OFF, and controls fan speed.
MODE CONTROL KNOB
This knob controls the outlet air ¯ow.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL KNOB
This knob allows adjustment of the temperature of the outlet air.
RECIRCULATION (REC) SWITCH
OFF position: Outside air is drawn into the passenger compartment.
ON position: Interior air is recirculated inside the vehicle. The indicator lamp will also light.
AIR CONDITIONER SWITCH
The air conditioner switch controls the A/C system. When the switch is depressed with the fan ON, the com-
pressor will turn ON. The indicator lamp will also light.
The air conditioner cooling function operates only when the engine is running.

Operational Check
The purpose of the operational check is to con®rm that the system
operates properly.
CONDITIONS
Engine running at normal operating temperature.
PROCEDURE
1. Check blower
a. Turn fan control knob to 1-speed.
Blower should operate on 1-speed.
b. Then turn fan control knob to 2-speed.
c. Continue checking blower speed until all four speeds are
checked.
d. Leave blower on 4-speed.
2. Check discharge air
a. Turn mode control knob.
b. Con®rm that discharge air comes out according to the air dis-
tribution table at left.
Refer to ``Discharge Air Flow'' in ``DESCRIPTION'' (HA-13).

3. Check recirculation
a. Press recirculation switch.
Recirculation indicator should light.
b. Listen for intake door position change (you should hear blower
sound change slightly).
4. Check temperature decrease
a. Turn temperature control knob to full cold.
b. Check for cold air at discharge air outlets.
5. Check temperature increase
a. Turn temperature control knob to full hot.
b. Check for hot air at discharge air outlets.
6. Check air conditioner switch
Turn fan control knob to the desired (1 to 4-speed) position and
push the air conditioner switch to turn ON the air conditioner.
The indicator light should come on when air conditioner is ON.

Trouble Diagnoses for Abnormal Pressure
Whenever system's high or low-pressure side is abnormal, diagnose using a manifold gauge. The marker
above the gauge scale in the following table indicates the standard (normal) pressure range. Since the stan-
dard (normal) pressure differs from vehicle to vehicle, refer to HA-35 (``Ambient air temperature-to-operating
pressure table'').
Gauge indication Refrigerant cycle Probable cause Corrective action
Both high and low-pressure
sides are too high.
AC359A
+Pressure is reduced soon
after water is splashed on
condenser.Excessive refrigerant charge in
refrigeration cycle.Reduce refrigerant until speci-
®ed pressure is obtained.
Air suction by cooling fan is
insufficient.Insufficient condenser cooling
performance.
¯
j
1Condenser ®ns are clogged.
j
2Improper fan rotation of
cooling 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 (2.0 bar, 2 kg/cm
2,28
psi). It then decreases gradu-
ally thereafter.Poor heat exchange in con-
denser.
(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 mal-
function.Check and repair each engine
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 dis-
charge ¯ow.
+Expansion valve is open a
little compared with the
speci®cation.
¯
j
1Improper thermal valve
installation.
j
2Improper expansion valve
adjustment.Replace expansion valve.
High-pressure side is too high
and low-pressure side is too
low.
AC360A
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.
