DescriptionECS0 04 RM
lThis is an OBD-II self-diagnostic item and not available in TCM self-diagnosis.
lThis malfunction will not be detected while the O/D OFF indicator lamp is indicating another self-diagnosis
malfunction.
lThis malfunction is detected when the A/T does not shift into fourth gear position or the torque converter
clutch does not lock up as instructed by the TCM. This is not caused by electrical malfunction (circuits
open or shorted) but by mechanical malfunction such as control valve sticking, improper solenoid valve
operation, malfunctioning oil pump or torque converter clutch, etc.

Checking for Refrigerant LeaksEJS000VJ
Perform a visual inspection of all refrigeration parts, fittings, hoses and components for signs of A/C lubricant
leakage, damage and corrosion. A/C lubricant leakage may indicate an area of refrigerant leakage. Allow
extra inspection time in these areas when using either an electronic 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 electronic leak detector, move the probe along the suspected
leak area at 1 to 2 inches per second and no further than 1/4 inch from the component.Expansion valve mounting bolts

CAUTION:
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 DetectorEJS000VK
1. Check A/C system for leaks using the UV lamp and safety glasses (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. Fluorescent dye observed at the evaporator drain opening indi-
cates an evaporator core assembly (tubes, core or TXV) 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 lubricants, may falsely trigger the leak 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 InjectionEJS000VL
(This procedure is only necessary when recharging the system or when the compressor has seized and was
replaced.)
1. Check A/C system static (at rest) pressure. Pressure must be at least 345 kPa (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 injector 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 component, pour the dye directly into the open system con-
nection and proceed with 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 DetectorEJS000VM
PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING LEAK DETECTOR
When performing a refrigerant leak check, use an A/C leak detector
or equivalent. Ensure that the instrument is calibrated and set prop-
erly 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.

WA RN ING:
lBefore removing and installing components and harnesses of SRS air bag and seat belt pre-ten-
sioner system, turn ignition switch OFF, disconnect battery ground cable, and wait at least 3 min-
utes. (This discharges electricity held in the air bag sensor unit's additional power circuit.)
lDo not use pneumatic or electric tools to remove and install the components.
lDo not solder SRS air bag and seat belt pre-tensioner system harnesses when making repairs.
Make sure harness is not pinched and there is no contact with other components.
lWhen checking the SRS air bag and the seat belt pre-tensioner circuit or the components of each
system, do not use an electric tester such as a circuit tester. (This is to prevent accidental trigger-
ing caused by the weak electric current of a tester.)
lNever insert foreign material (such as a screwdriver) in the air bag module and pre-tensioner seat
belt connectors. (The units may be actuated by mistake by static electricity.)
lSeat belt pre-tensioner and SRS air bag harnesses can be distinguished from other harnesses by
their yellow connectors.
lWhen servicing, refer to “SB Seat Belt” and “SRS Air Bag” for safety.
Precautions for Brake SystemEFS000BZ
lClean dust on brake pads, shoes, drums, and back plates with a vacuum dust collector. Do not blow with
compressed air.
lRecommended fluid is brake fluid “DOT 3” or “DOT 4”.
lNever reuse drained brake fluid.
lBe careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas such as the body. If brake fluid is splashed or spilled
on paint, wipe it off and flush the area with water immediately.
lUse only clean brake fluid when cleaning master cylinder and disc brake components.
lNever use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene to clean. They will ruin the rubber parts and cause
improper operation.
lAlways use a flare nut torque wrench to securely tighten brake
tube flare nuts.
lThe brake system is an important safety part. If a brake fluid
leak is detected, always disassemble the related parts. If dam-
age, deformation or excessive wear is detected, replace
affected parts with new ones.
