C: INSPECTION
NOTE:
•For self diagnosis of the audio system, there is a communications check (communication condition be-
tween the audio and the control panel) and a switch check. Perform a communications check first and make
sure it is operating normally before proceeding to the inspection of switches.
•Complete operations from when the self diagnosis mode of step 1 operates and the buzzer sounds, to
pressing the preset 1 switch in 3., within 15 seconds. If more than 15 seconds pass, a communications error
will be displayed.
•During the diagnosis, do not press the POWER(8), FM(12), AM(14), CD(11), RSE AUX(13) switches.
Pressing these switches will disengage the self diagnosis mode.

Refrigerant Charging Procedure
HVAC SYSTEM (HEATER, VENTILATOR AND A/C)
17) After confirming that there are no leaks with the
leak test, charge the required amount of refrigerant.
CAUTION:
Never run the engine while charging from the
high-pressure side.
18) Close the high-pressure valve when;
•the readings of low- / high-pressure gauges be-
come almost equal, after the charging speed is re-
duced,
•the HFC-134a source becomes empty, or the
system is full with the gas.
19) If the HFC-134a source is empty, close the
high-pressure valve, close the valve on the can tap,
and replace the HFC-134a source with a new one
to restart the operation.
20) Confirm that both the low- / high-pressure
valves can be closed. Start the engine with the A/C
switch OFF.
21) Quickly repeat ON-OFF cycles a few times to
prevent initial compressor damage.
22) Set up the vehicle as follows:
•A/C switch ON
•Engine running at 1,500 rpm
•Blower setting speed “HI”, (For models with rear
coolers, also turn the rear cooler fan switch to “HI”)
•Temperature setting to “MAX COOL”
•Air inlet setting to “RECIRC”
•Window open
23) While reading the low-pressure gauge, careful-
ly open the low-pressure valve with the refrigerant
source connected and the service hose purged.
CAUTION:
Never open the high-pressure valve with the en-
gine running. The high-pressure gas will back-
flow resulting in an explosion of the can.
24) Adjust the refrigerant flow to maintain the pres-
sure on the low-pressure side at 276 kPa (2.81 kg/
cm2, 40 psi) max.
25) After the system is fully charged, close the low-
pressure valve.
26) Close the valve on the refrigerant source.
27) Disconnect the hose from the service port, and
install the service port cap.
