ABNORMAL NOISE FROM CRANKSHAFT PULLEY
ConditionPossible CauseCorrection
A large rattling noise is heard at
idle or sudden acceleration.Loosen pulley mounting bolt.
Worn or broken bearings.Retighten bolt.
Replace bearings.
ABNORMAL NOISE FROM TENSION PULLEY
ConditionPossible CauseCorrection
Clattering noise is heard from
pulley.
Pulley cranks upon contact.Worn or damaged bearings.
Cracked or loose bracket.Replace bearings.
Replace or retighten bracket.
ABNORMAL NOISE FROM EVAPORATOR
ConditionPossible CauseCorrection
Whistling sound is heard from
evaporator.Depending on the combination of
the interior / exterior
temperatures, engine rpm and
refrigerant pressure, the
refrigerant flowing out of the
expansion valve may, under
certain conditions, make a
whistling sound.At times, slightly decreasing
refrigerant volume may stop this
noise.
Inspect expansion valve and
replace if faulty.
ABNORMAL NOISE FROM BLOWER MOTOR
ConditionPossible CauseCorrection
Blower motor emits a chirping
sound in proportion to its speed of
rotation.
Fluttering noise or large droning
noise is heard from blower motor.Worn or damaged motor brushes
or commutator.
Leaves or other debris
introduced from fresh air inlet to
blower motor.Repair or replace blower motor.
Remove debris and make sure
that the screen at fresh air inlet is
intact.

1B-12 AIR CONDITIONING (OPTIONAL)
PERFORMANCE DIAGNOSIS
1) Confirm that vehicle and environmental conditions are as fol-
lows.
Vehicle is not exposed to direct sun.
Ambient temperature is within 15C ± 35C (59F ± 95F).
2) Make sure that high pressure valve (1) and low pressure valve
(2) of manifold gauge are firmly closed.
3) Connect high pressure charging hose (3) to high pressure ser-
vice valve (5) on vehicle, and connect low pressure charging
hose (4) to low pressure service valve (6) on vehicle.
4) Bleed the air in charging hoses (3), (4) by loosening their respec-
tive nuts on manifold gauge, utilizing the refrigerant pressure.
When a hiss is heard, immediately tighten nut.
CAUTION:
Do not interchange high and low pressure charging
hoses by mistake.
5) Warm up engine to normal operating temperature (engine cool-
ant temperature at 80 ± 90C (176 ± 194F)) and keep it at spe-
cified idle speed. (Radiator cooling fan should not be working
when checking pressure and temperature.)
6) Turn A / C switch ON, and set blower switch at ªHIº (4th position),
temperature control knob at ªCOOLº, air outlet control knob at
ªFACEº, fresh / circulation control knob at ªCIRCULATIONº.
(Confirm that A / C compressor and condenser fan are working.)
7) Keep all windows, doors and engine food open.
Ambient temperature
15 ± 35C (59F ± 95F)

8) With about 20 mm (0.8 in.) of dry bulb thermometer (1) inserted
into center duct air outlet and another one set near evaporator
air inlet, read temperature indicated on each thermometer.

9) Check for each pressure of low side and high side if it is within
shaded range of graph.
If each gauge reading is out of specified pressure, correct de-
fective part referring to following Test Diagnosis table.
Example:
Gauges should read as follows when ambient
temperature is 30C.
Pressure on high pressure
gauge (HI):1400 ± 1750 kPa
14.0 ± 17.5 kg / cm
2
Pressure on high pressure
gauge (LO):230 ± 350 kPa
2.3 ± 3.5 kg / cm
2
NOTE:
Pressure registered on gauge varies with ambient temper-
ature. Therefore, use left graphs when determining if pres-
sures are normal or not.
10) Check inlet port temperature-to-outlet port temperature rela-
tionship using graph.
For example, if evaporator inlet port temperature is 25C
(77F) and center duct air outlet temperature is 8C (46.4F),
their crossing point is within acceptable range as shown in
graph.
11) If crossing point is out of acceptable range, diagnose trouble
referring to following Performance Diagnosis table.
