O-Ring Part Numbers and Specifications
CAUTION:
When replacing or cleaning refrigerant cycle components, observe the following.
• When the compressor is removed, store it in the sam e position as it is when installed on the vehicle.
Doing so will cause oil to en ter the low-pressure chamber.
• When connecting tubes, always use a to rque wrench and a back-up wrench.
• After disconnecting tubes, immediately plug all op enings to prevent entry of dirt and moisture.
• When installing an air conditione r in the vehicle, connect the pipes as the final stage of the opera-
tion. Do not remove the seal caps of pipes and other components until just before required for con-
nection.
• Allow components stored in cool areas to warm to working area temperature before removing seal
caps. This prevents condensation from forming inside A/C components.
• Thoroughly remove moisture from the refriger ation system before charging the refrigerant.
• Always replace used O-rings.
• When connecting tube, apply the speci fied A/C oil to circle of the O-rings. Be careful not to apply oil
to threaded portion. Refer to MTC-90, " Oil " .
• O-ring must be closely attached to dented portion of tube.
• When replacing the O-ring, be careful not to damage O-ring and tube.
• Connect tube until you hear it cl ick, then tighten the nut or bolt by hand until snug. Make sure that
the O-ring is installed to tube correctly.
• After connecting line, perform leak test and make sure that there is no leakage from connections.
When the refrigerant leaking point is found, disconnect that line and replace the O-ring. Then tighten
connections of seal seat to the specified torque.

• Plug all openings to prevent moisture and foreign matter from entering.

Maintenance of Oil Quantity in Compressor " .
• Keep friction surfaces between clut ch and pulley clean. If the surface is contaminated, with oil, wipe
it off by using a clean waste cloth moistened with thinner.
• After compressor service operation, turn the compresso r shaft by hand more than five turns in both
directions. This will equally dist ribute oil inside the compressor. After the compressor is installed,
let the engine idle and operat e the compressor for one hour.
• After replacing the compressor magnet clutch, ap ply voltage to the new one and check for usual
operation.
Precaution for Service Equipment INFOID:0000000004307048
RECOVERY/RECYCLING EQUIPMENT
Be certain to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for machine operation and machine maintenance. Never
introduce any refrigerant other than that specified into the machine.
ELECTRONIC LEAK DETECTOR
Be certain to follow the manufacturer’s instruct ions for tester operation and tester maintenance.
VACUUM PUMP
The oil contained inside the vacuum pump is not compatible with the
specified oil for HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C systems. The vent side of
the vacuum pump is exposed to atmospheric pressure. So the vac-
uum pump oil may migrate out of the pump into the service hose.
This is possible when the pump is switched off after evacuation (vac-
uuming) and hose is connected to it.
To prevent this migration, use a manual valve placed near the hose-
to-pump connection, as follows.
• Usually vacuum pumps have a manual isolator valve as part of the pump. Close this valve to isolat e the service hose from the pump.
• For pumps without an isolator, use a hose equipped with a manual
shut-off valve near the pump end. Close the valve to isolate the
hose from the pump.
• If the hose has an automatic shut -off valve, disconnect the hose
from the pump. As long as the hose is connected, the valve is open
and lubricating oil may migrate.
Some one-way valves open when vacuum is applied and close
under a no vacuum condition. Such valves may restrict the pump’s
ability to pull a deep vacuum and are not recommended.
MANIFOLD GAUGE SET
Be certain that the gauge face indicates HFC-134a or R-134a. Be
sure the gauge set has 1/2 ″-16 ACME threaded connections for ser-
vice hoses. Confirm the set has been used only with refrigerant
HFC-134a (R-134a) and specified oils.
SERVICE HOSES SHA533D

MTC

O P
Be certain that the service hoses display the markings described
(colored hose with black stripe). All hoses must include positive shut-
off devices (either manual or aut omatic) near the end of the hoses
opposite the manifold gauge.
SERVICE COUPLERS Never attempt to connect HFC-134a (R-134a) service couplers to a
CFC-12 (R-12) A/C system. T he HFC-134a (R-134a) couplers will
not properly connect to the CFC-12 (R-12) system. However, if an
improper connection is attempted, discharging and contamination
may occur.
REFRIGERANT WEIGHT SCALE Verify that no refrigerant other than HFC-134a (R-134a) and speci-
fied oils have been used with the scale. If the scale controls refriger-
ant flow electronically, the hose fitting must be 1/2 ″-16 ACME.
CHARGING CYLINDER Using a charging cylinder is not re commended. Refrigerant may be vented into air from cylinder’s top valve
when filling the cylinder with refrigerant. Also, the accura cy of the cylinder is generally less than that of an
electronic scale or of quality recycle/recharge equipment.
Precaution for Leak Detection Dye INFOID:0000000004307049
• The A/C system contains a fluorescent leak detection dy e used for locating refrigerant leaks. An ultraviolet
(UV) lamp is required to illuminate the dye when inspecting for leaks.
• Always wear fluorescence enhancing UV safety goggles to protect your eyes and enhance the visibility of
the fluorescent dye.
• The fluorescent dye leak detector is not a replacement for an electronic refrigerant leak detector. The fluo-
rescent dye leak detector should be used in conjunction with an electronic refrigerant leak detector to pin-
point refrigerant leaks.
• For your safety and your customer’s satisfaction, read and follow all manufacture’s operating instructions
and precautions prior to performing the work.
• A compressor shaft seal should not be repaired because of dye seepage. The compressor shaft seal should
only be repaired after confirming the leak with an electronic refrigerant leak detector.
• Always remove any remaining dye from the leak area after repairs are complete to avoid a misdiagnosis dur- ing a future service.
• Do not allow dye to come into contact with paint ed body panels or interior components. If dye is spilled,
clean immediately with the approved dye cleaner. Fluores cent dye left on a surface for an extended period of
time cannot be removed. RHA274D

PREPARATION
HFC-134a (R-134a) Servic e Tool and Equipment INFOID:0000000004307051
Never mix HFC-134a refrigerant and/or its specified oil with CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and/or its oil.
Separate and non-interchangeable service equipment must be used for handling each type of refrigerant/oil.
Refrigerant container fittings, service hose fittings and service equipment fittings (equipment which handles
refrigerant and/or oil) are different between CFC-12 (R-12) and HFC-134a (R-134a). This is to avoid mixed
use of the refrigerants/oil.
Adapters that convert one size fitting to another must never be used refrigerant/oil contamination will occur
and compressor failure will result.

REFRIGERATION SYSTEM
Refrigerant Cycle INFOID:0000000004307053
REFRIGERANT FLOW The refrigerant flows in the standard pattern, that is , through the compressor, the condenser with liquid tank,
through the evaporator, and back to the compressor. T he refrigerant evaporation through the evaporator is
controlled by an externally equalized expansion valve, located inside the evaporator case.
FREEZE PROTECTION Under usual operating conditions, when the A/C is s witched ON, the compressor runs continuously, and the
evaporator pressure, and temperature is controlled by the compressor to prevent freeze up.
Refrigerant System Protection INFOID:0000000004307054
REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR The refrigerant system is protected against excessively hi gh or low pressures by the refrigerant pressure sen-
sor, located on the condenser. If the system pressure rise s above, or falls below the specifications, the refrig-
erant pressure sensor detects the pressure inside t he refrigerant line and sends the voltage signal to the ECM.
ECM makes the A/C relay go OFF and stops the compressor when pressure on the high-pressure side
detected by refrigerant pressure sensor is over about 2,746 kPa (27.46 bar, 28.0 kg/cm 2
, 398 psi), or below
about 134 kPa (1.34 bar, 1.4 kg/cm 2
, 20 psi).
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE The refrigerant system is also protected by a pressure relief valve, located in the rear head of the compressor.
When the pressure of refrigerant in the system in creases to an unusual level [more than 3.8 MPa (38 bar,
38.76 kg/cm 2
, 551 psi)], the release port on the pressure relief valve automatically opens and releases refrig-
erant into the atmosphere.
