QUICKLY CHECKING OF REFRIGERANT
CHARGE (IF EQUIPPED WITH SIGHT GLASS)
CHARGE OF REFRIGERANT
The following procedure can be used for quickly checking whether
the A / C system has a proper charge of refrigerant or not.
Run engine at fast idle, and operate A / C at its max. cooling capacity
for a few minutes. Then, look at the sight glass (1) on receiver / dryer
(2) and compare what is observed with the symptoms listed in
ªCHECKING REFRIGERANT CHARGEº table given below.
CHECKING REFRIGERANT CHARGE
CONDITIONPOSSIBLE CAUSESCORRECTION
Bubbles observed in sight glassInsufficient charge of refrigerant in
systemCheck system for leaks with a leak
tester.
No bubbles observed in sight glassNo charge or proper or too much
charge of refrigerant in systemRefer to the following item.
No temperature difference
between compressor inlet and
outletEmpty or nearly empty systemRecovery, evacuate and charge
system and then check it for leaks
with a leak tester.
Noticeable temperature difference
between compressor inlet and
outletProper or too much charge of
refrigerant in systemRefer to the following item.
When A / C is turned OFF,
refrigerant in sight glass clears
immediately and remains clearToo much charge of refrigerant in
systemDischarge excess charge of
refrigerant to adjust it to a specified
charge.
When A / C is turned OFF,
refrigerant in sight glass once
produces bubbles and then clearsProper charge of refrigerant in
systemNo correction needed because
charge of refrigerant is normal.

COMPRESSION SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS
Compressor troubles are mainly following three types: gas leakage, noise and insufficient pressure.
Compressor gas leakages in most cases develop from the shaft seal. When detecting gas leakage, always use
a leak tester. If a small amount of oil seeps out from the shaft seal, there is no necessity of replacing the seal. The
shaft seal has been designed to allow a small amount of oil to leak out for lubricating purpose. Thus, the shaft seal
should be replaced only when a large amount of compressor oil is leaking out or when gas leakage is discovered
by using gas tester.
In regard to noise and insufficient pressure, repairs should be made only after diagnosing the trouble properly.

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.

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.
