AIR CONDITIONING (OPTIONAL) 1B-9
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.
