Removal and Installation " .
3. Remove lower dash insulator.
4. Disconnect low-pressure flexible hose and high-pressure pipe from evaporator. Refer to MTC-58," Removal and Installation " .
5. Remove expansion valve bolts (A), and then remove expansion valve (1).
CAUTION:
Cap or wrap the joint of the pi pe with suitable material such
as vinyl tape to avoid the entry of air.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
• Replace O-rings of evaporator with new ones, and apply compressor oil when installing.
• When recharging refrigerant, check for leaks.
Checking of Refrigerant Leaks INFOID:0000000004307100
Perform a visual inspection of all refrigeration parts, fittings, hoses and components for signs of A/C oil leak-
age, damage and corrosion. A/C oil leakage may indicate an area of refrigerant leakage. Allow extra inspec-
tion time in these areas when using either an electroni c refrigerant leak detector or fluorescent dye leak
detector.
If dye is observed, confirm the leak with an electronic refrigerant leak detector. It is possible a prior leak was
repaired and not properly cleaned.
When searching for leaks, do not stop when one leak is found but continue to check for additional leaks at all
system components and connections.
When searching for refrigerant leaks using an electroni c leak detector, move the probe along the suspected
leak area at 25 to 50 mm (1 to 2 in) per sec ond and no further than 1/4 inch from the component.

Moving the electronic leak detector probe slower
and closer to the suspected leak area will improve
the chances of finding a leak.
Checking System for Leaks Using the Fluorescent Leak Detector INFOID:0000000004307101
1. Check A/C system for leaks using the UV lamp and safety goggles J-42220 in a low sunlight area (area
without windows preferable). Illuminate all components, fittings and lines. The dye will appear as a bright
green/yellow area at the point of leakage. Fluoresc ent dye observed at the evaporator drain opening indi-
cates an evaporator core assembly (tubes , core or expansion valve) leak.
2. If the suspected area is difficult to see, use an adjustable mirror or wipe the area with a clean shop rag or
cloth, with the UV lamp for dye residue.
3. After the leak is repaired, remove any residual dye using dye cleaner J-43872 to prevent future misdiag- nosis.
4. Perform a system performance check and verify the leak repair with an approved electronic refrigerant leak detector.
NOTE:
Other gases in the work area or substances on the A/C components, for example, anti-freeze, windshield
washer fluid, solvents and oils, may falsely trigger the l eak detector. Make sure the surfaces to be checked are
clean.
Clean with a dry cloth or blow off with shop air.
Do not allow the sensor tip of the detector to contact with any substance. This can also cause false readings
and may damage the detector.
Dye Injection INFOID:0000000004307102
(This procedure is only necessary when recharging t he system or when the compressor has seized and was
replaced.)
1. Check A/C system static (at rest) pressure. Pres sure must be at least 345 kPa (3.45 bar, 3.52 kg/cm2
, 50
psi).
2. Pour one bottle (1/4 ounce / 7.4 cc) of the A/C refrigerant dye into the injector tool J-41459.
3. Connect the injector tool to the A/C low-pressure side service fitting.
4. Start engine and switch A/C ON.
5. When the A/C operating (compressor running), inject one bottle (1/4 ounce / 7.4 cc) of fluorescent dye
through the low-pressure service valve using dye inje ctor tool J-41459 (refer to the manufacture’s operat-
ing instructions).
6. With the engine still running, disconnect the injector tool from the service fitting.
CAUTION:
Be careful the A/C system or replacing a componen t, pour the dye directly into the open system
connection and proceed wi th the service procedures.
7. Operate the A/C system for a minimum of 20 minutes to mix the dye with the system oil. Depending on the
leak size, operating conditions and location of the leak , it may take from minutes to days for the dye to
penetrate a leak and become visible.
Electronic Refrigerant Leak Detector INFOID:0000000004307103
PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING LEAK DETECTOR When performing a refrigerant leak c heck, use an A/C electrical leak
detector (SST) or equivalent. Ensure that the instrument is calibrated
and set properly per the operating instructions.
The leak detector is a delicate device. In order to use the leak detec-
tor properly, read the operating instructions and perform any speci-
fied maintenance. AHA281A

Component " . Perform a
leak check for the following areas carefully. Clean the component to be checked and move the leak
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 high-pressure flexible hose and pipe, refrigerant pressure sensor.
• Liquid tank Check the refrigerant connection.
• Service valves SHA706E
SHA708EA

MTC
N
O P
Check all around the service valves. Ensure service valve caps are secured on the service valves (to
prevent leaks).
NOTE:
After removing A/C manifold gauge set from service va lves, wipe any residue from valves to prevent any
false readings by leak detector.
• Cooling unit (Evaporator)
With engine OFF, turn blower fan on “High” for at least 15 seconds to dissipate any refrigerant trace in
the cooling unit. Wait a minimum of 10 minutes ac cumulation time (refer to the manufacturer’s recom-
mended 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 c aution not to contaminate the probe tip with water
or dirt that may be in the drain hose.
5. If a leak detector detects a leak, verify at least once by blowing compressed air into area of suspected
leak, then repeat check as outlined above.
6. Do not stop when one leak is found. Continue to check for additional leaks at all system components.
If no leaks are found, perform steps 7-10.
7. Start engine.
8. Set the heater A/C control as follows;
a. A/C switch: ON
b. Mode control dial position: VENT (Ventilation)
c. Intake door lever position: Recirculation
d. Max. cold temperature
e. Fan speed: High
9. Run engine at 1,500 rpm for at least 2 minutes.
10. Turn engine off and perform leak check again following steps 4 through 6 above.
Refrigerant leaks should be chec ked immediately after stopping
the engine. Begin with the leak detector at the compressor. The
pressure on the high-pressure side will gradually drop after
refrigerant circulation stops and pressure on the low-pressure
side will gradually rise, as shown in the graph. Some leaks are
more easily detected when pressure is high.
11. Before connecting recovery/recycling equipment to vehicle, check recovery/recycling equipment gauges. No refrigerant
pressure should be displayed. If pressure is displayed, recover
refrigerant from equipment lines.
12. Discharge A/C system using approved refrigerant reco very/recycling equipment. Repair the leaking fitting
or component if necessary.
13. Evacuate and recharge A/C system and perform the l eak test to confirm no refrigerant leaks.
14. Perform A/C performance test to ensure system works properly.
