IGNITION RELAY MALFUNCTION DETECTION FUNCTION
 IPDM E/R monitors the voltage at the contact circuit and excitation coil circuit of the ignition relay inside it.
 IPDM E/R judges the ignition relay error if the voltage differs between the contact circuit and the excitation
coil circuit.
 If the ignition relay cannot turn OFF due to contact seizure, it activates the tail lamp relay for 10 minutes to
alert the user to the ignition relay malfunction when the ignition switch is turned OFF.
FRONT WIPER CONTROL
IPDM E/R detects front wiper stop position by a front wiper auto stop signal.
When a front wiper auto stop signal is in the conditions listed below, IPDM E/R stops power supply to wiper
after repeating a front wiper 10 seconds activation and 20 seconds stop five times.

SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS
REFRIGERATION SYSTEM SYMPTOMS
Trouble Diagnosis For Unusual PressureINFOID:0000000003795806
Diagnose using a manifold gauge whenever the system’s high and/or low side pressure(s) is/are unusual. The
marker above the gauge scale in the following tables indicates the standard pressure range. Refer to the
above table (Ambient air temperature-to-operating pressure table) since the standard pressure, however, dif-
fers from vehicle to vehicle.
Symptom TableINFOID:0000000003795807
Gauge indication Refrigerant cycle Probable cause Corrective action
Both high and low-pressure sides
are too high.The pressure returns to nor-
mal and is reduced soon after
water is splashed on con-
denser.Excessive refrigerant charge in
refrigeration cycle.Reduce refrigerant until speci-
fied pressure is obtained.
Air suction by cooling fan is in-
sufficient.Insufficient condenser cooling
performance.
↓
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 the compressor is
stopped the high-pressure
reading 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 decreas-
es too slowly).
↓
Air in refrigeration cycle.Evacuate repeatedly and re-
charge 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.
 Low-pressure pipe is some-
times covered with frost. Excessive liquid refrigerant
on low-pressure side.
 Excessive refrigerant dis-
charge flow.
 Expansion valve is slightly
open compared with the
specification.
↓
Improper expansion valve ad-
justment.Replace expansion valve.
High-pressure side is too high and
low-pressure side is too low.
Upper side of condenser and
high-pressure side are hot,
however, the liquid tank is not
very hot.High-pressure tube or parts lo-
cated between compressor
and condenser are clogged or
crushed. Check and repair or replace
malfunctioning parts.
 Check lubricant for contami-
nation.

REFRIGERATION SYSTEM SYMPTOMS
Low-pressure side sometimes be-
comes negative. Air conditioning system
does not function and does
not cyclically cool the com-
partment air.
 The system constantly
functions for a period of
time after compressor is
stopped and restarted.Refrigerant does not discharge
cyclically.
↓
Moisture is frozen at expansion
valve outlet and inlet.
↓
Water is mixed with refrigerant. Drain water from refrigerant
or replace refrigerant.
 Replace liquid tank.
Low-pressure side becomes nega-
tive.
Liquid tank or front/rear side
of expansion valve’s pipe is
frosted or wet with dew.High-pressure side is closed
and refrigerant does not flow.
↓
Expansion valve or liquid tank
is frosted.Do not use the system until the
frost has melted. Start it again to
check whether or not the mal-
function is caused by water or
foreign materials.
 Cooling is initially okay if wa-
ter is the cause. Then the wa-
ter freezes, which causes a
blockage. Drain water from
refrigerant or replace refriger-
ant.
 If due to foreign materials, re-
move expansion valve and
the particles with dry com-
pressed air (not shop air.)
 Replace expansion valve if
either of the above methods
cannot correct the malfunc-
tion.
 Replace liquid tank.
 Check lubricant for contami-
nation. Gauge indication Refrigerant cycle Probable cause Corrective action

LUBRICANT
Maintenance of Lubricant QuantityINFOID:0000000003795916
The lubricant in the compressor circulates through the system the refrigerant. Add lubricant to compressor
when replacing any component or after a large refrigerant leakage occurred. It is important to maintain the
specified amount.
If lubricant quantity is not maintained properly, the following malfunctions may result:
 Lack of lubricant: May lead to a seized compressor.
 Excessive lubricant: Inadequate cooling (thermal exchange interference)
LUBRICANT
LUBRICANT RETURN OPERATION
Adjust the lubricant quantity according to the test group shown below.
1.CHECK LUBRICANT RETURN OPERATION
Can lubricant return operation be performed?

ELECTRICAL LEAK DETECTOR
2. Connect a suitable A/C manifold gauge set (SST) to the A/C service valves.
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). Recover/evacuate and recharge the system with the specified amount of refrigerant if less than
specification.
NOTE:
Leakages may not be detected since the system may not reach 345 kPa (3.45 bar, 3.52 kg/cm
2, 50 psi) at
temperatures below 16°C (61°F).
4. Perform the leakage test from the high-pressure side (compressor discharge “a” to evaporator inlet “j”) to
the low-pressure side (evaporator drain hose “k” to shaft seal “p”). Perform a leakage check for the follow-
ing areas carefully. Clean the component to be checked and move the leakage detected probe completely
around the connection/component.
Compressor
Check the fitting of high- and low-pressure flexible hoses, relief valve and shaft seal.
Condenser
Check the fitting of condenser pipe assembly, high-pressure flexible hose and pipe.
Liquid tank
Check the fitting of condenser and refrigerant pressure sensor.
Service valves
Check all around the service valves. Ensure service valve caps are secured on the service valves (to pre-
vent leakages).
NOTE:
Wipe any residue from valves to prevent any false readings by leak detector after removing manifold
gauge set (SST) from service valves.
Cooling unit (Evaporator)
Turn blower fan on “High” for at least 15 seconds to dissipate any refrigerant trace in the cooling unit with
engine OFF. 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. Verify at least once by blowing compressed air into area of suspected leakage, then repeat check as out-
lined above if a leak detector detects a leakage.
6. Do not stop when one leakage is found. Continue checking for additional leakages at all system compo-
nents.
