1B-10 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 15 - 35 °C (59 - 95 °F).
2) Make sure that high pressure valve (1) and low pressure
valve (2) of manifold gauge (3) are firmly closed.
3) Connect high pressure charging hose (4) to high pressure
service valve (5) on vehicle, and connect low pressure
charging hose (6) to low pressure service valve (7) on vehi-
cle.
4) Bleed the air in charging hoses (3), (4) by loosening their
respective nuts on manifold gauge, utilizing the refrigerant
pressure. When a hiss is heard, immediately tighten nut.
5) Warm up engine to normal operating temperature (engine
coolant temperature at 80 - 90 °C (176 - 194 °F)) and keep it
at specified idle speed.
6) Operate A/C at the following conditions.
Main (front) A/C switch at ON position.
Rear A/C main switch at ON position (if equipped).
Front blower motor switch at max position.
Rear blower motor switch at max position (if equipped).
Air outlet control button at face position.
Temperature control lever at max cool position.
Vehicle door at all open.
Air inlet door at recirculation position.
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 face air outlet (2), rear A/C air outlet (3)
(dual A/C model only) and near A/C evaporator air inlet, read
temperature indicated on each thermometer. CAUTION:
Do not interchange high and low pressure charging
hoses by mistake.

Inspection of A/C Controller and Its Circuits
A/C Controller (1) and its circuits can be checked at A/C controller
wiring couplers by measuring voltage.
Voltage check
1) Remove A/C controller (1) from vehicle referring to “A/C
CONTROLLER” in this section.
2) Remove ECM (2) from vehicle.
3) Connect A/C controller couplers to A/C controller and con-
nect ECM couplers to ECM.
4) Check each terminal voltage with couplers connected by
referring to “A/C CONTROLLER VOLTAGE VALUES TABLE”. CAUTION:
A/C controller and ECM cannot be checked by itself.
It is strictly prohibited to connect voltmeter or ohmmeter
to A/C controller and ECM with couplers disconnected
from it.

ature controller noting the following instruction.
When the rear A/C evaporator thermistor (temperature sen-
sor) removed, it should be reinstalled in original position.
Refrigerant Pipes and Hoses
INSPECTION
Use a leak tester to check hoses and pipes for any gas leakage.
Check each hose or pipe clamp for tightness. Retighten or replace loose clamp as required, if any.
REMOVAL
1) Recover refrigerant by using recovery and recycling equipment. Be sure to follow the instruction manual for
the equipment.
The amount of compressor oil removed must be measured and the same amount must be added to the sys-
tem when reinstalling.
2) Replace defective hose or pipe.
INSTALLATION

POWER STEERING (P/S) SYSTEM 3B1-3
Hydraulic Pressure in P/S Circuit
Hydraulic pressure check
1) After cleaning joint of high pressure hose and P/S pump
thoroughly, disconnect hose from pump and install special
tool (oil pressure gauge, attachment and hose).
Special tool
(A) : 09915-77410
(B) : 09915-77420
2) Check each connection for fluid leakage and bleed air.
Refer to “AIR BLEEDING PROCEDURE” in this section.
3) With engine idling, turn steering wheel and warm up engine
till temperature of fluid in P/S fluid reservoir rises to 50 –
60°C (122 – 140°F).
4) Check back pressure by measuring hydraulic pressure with
engine idling and hands off steering wheel.
When back pressure is higher than specified values, check
control valve and piping for clogging.
Back pressure :
Lower than 1000 kPa (10 kg/cm
2, 142 psi) CAUTION:
Take care not to cause damage to A/C condenser during
service operation, if equipped.
