7) When refrigerant container (3) is emptied, use following proce-
dure to replace it with a new refrigerant container (3).
a. Close low pressure valve.
b. Replace empty container (3) with a refrigerant container
which has been charged with refrigerant. When using refrig-
erant container tap valve (4), use following procedure for re-
placement.
i) Retract needle (1) and remove refrigerant container tap
valve (4) by loosening its plate nut (2).
ii) Install previously-removed refrigerant container tap valve
(4) to a new refrigerant container (3).
c. Purge any air existing in center charging hose.
When using refrigerant container tap valve, use following
procedure to purge air.
i) Once fully tighten refrigerant container tap valve and then
loosen (open) plate nut slightly.
ii) Open low pressure valve of manifold gauge set a little.
iii) As soon as refrigerant comes out with a ªhissº through a
clearance between refrigerant container and tap valve,
tighten plate nut as well as manifold gauge set low pres-
sure valve.
iv) Turn handle of tap valve clockwise so that its needle is
screwed into the new container to make a hole for refriger-
ant flow.

REMOVING MANIFOLD GAUGE SET
When A / C system has been charged with a specified amount of re-
frigerant, remove manifold gauge set as follows:
1) Close low pressure-side valve of manifold gauge set, (The high
pressure-side valve is closed continuously during the process
of charging.).
2) Close refrigerant container valve.
3) Stop engine.
4) Using shop rag, remove charging hoses from service valves.
This operation must be performed rapidly.
WARNING:
High pressure-side is naturally under high pressure.
So, care must be used to protect your eyes and skin.
5) Put caps on service valves.
LEAK-TESTING REFRIGERANT SYSTEM
Whenever a refrigerant leak is suspected in the system or any ser-
vice operation has been performed which may result in disturbing
lines or connections, it is advisable to test for leaks.
Common sense should be used in performing any refrigerant leak
test, since the need and extent of any such test will, in general, de-
pend upon the nature of a complaint and the type of a service per-
formed on the system.
LIQUID LEAK DETECTORS
There are a number of fittings and places throughout the air condi-
tioning system where a liquid leak detector solution may be used
to pinpoint refrigerant leaks.
By merely applying the solution to the area in question with a swab,
bubbles will form within seconds if there is a leak.
For confined areas, such as sections of the evaporator and con-
denser, an electronic (gas) leak detector is more practical for deter-
mining leaks.
WARNING:
To prevent explosions or fires, make sure that there are no
flammables in the vicinity.
When exposed to fire, the refrigerant turns into a poison-
ous gas (phosgene). Do not inhale this gas.

Route drain hose so that drained water does not make any contact to vehicle components.
HANDLING REFRIGERANT HFC-134a (R-134a)
When handling refrigerant, always wear goggles to protect your eyes.
Avoid you direct contact to liquid refrigerant.
Do not heat refrigerant container higher than 40C (104F).
Do not discharge refrigerant into atmosphere.
Do not allow liquid refrigerant to touch bright metals. Refrigerant combined with moisture is corrosive and will
tarnish surfaces of bright metals including chrome.
After recovering refrigerant from system, the amount of compressor oil removed must be measured and the same
amount added to the system.
REFRIGERANT RECOVERY
When discharging refrigerant out of A / C system, always recover it by using refrigerant recovery and recycling
equipment. Discharging refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) into atmosphere would cause adverse effect to environ-
ments.
NOTE:
When handling recovery and recycling equipment, be sure to follow the instruction manual for the equip-
ment.
REFRIGERANT CHARGE
Charge a proper amount of refrigerant to A / C system according to charging procedure described in recovery, evac-
uation and charging.
CAUTION:
Do not perform an additional refrigerant charging to A / C system. This cause it to overcharge.

INSPECTION
1) Check evaporator fins for blockage. If found clogged, use com-
pressed air to clean the fins.
CAUTION:
Do not use water for cleaning of evaporator.
Be careful not to damage evaporator fins. If evaporator
fin is bent, straighten it by using a screwdriver or pair of
pliers. If any leakage is found from fitting or tube, repair
or replace evaporator.
2) Check inlet and outlet fittings for crack or scratch. Repair them
as required.
REASSEMBLY and INSTALLATION
1) Reverse removal and disassembly sequence to install cooling
unit, noting the following points.
Install uniformly the evaporator packing to dash panel hole for
expansion valve.
Adjust fresh air control cable, refer to ªHEATER CONTROL
LEVER ASSEMBLYº in Section 1A.
2) Enable air bag system. Refer to ªEnabling Air Bag Systemº in
Section 10B.
3) Evacuate and charge system. Refer to ªEVACUATINGº and
ªCHARGINGº in this section.
NOTE:
When the thermistor removed, it should be reinstalled in
original position.
If cooling unit or evaporator is replaced, pour 25 cc of refrig-
erating oil to compressor suction-side.

(EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR)
A thermistor is a temperature sensor to sense the temperature of
air discharged from evaporator. The electrical characteristic is
shown in the figure.
When temperature is lower than preset temperature, amplifier
makes magnet clutch turn off to prevent evaporator from frosting.

nals.
If check results are as not specified, replace thermistor.

the same amount must be added to the system when reinstal-
ling.

COMPRESSOR ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
None of refrigerant, compressor oil and component parts is interchangeable between two types of A / C:
one using CFC-12 (R-12) and the other using HFC-134a (R-134a).
For identification between these two types, refer to page 1B-2.
When replenishing or changing refrigerant and compressor oil and when replacing parts, make sure
that the material or the part to be used is appropriate to the A / C installed in the vehicle being serviced.
Use of incorrect refrigerant or compressor oil will result in leakage of refrigerant, damage in parts or
other faulty condition.
PRECAUTION
When servicing the compressor, keep dirt or foreign material away from getting on or into the compressor parts
and system. Clean tools and a clean work area are important for proper service.
The compressor connection and the outside of the compressor should be cleaned before any ªOn-vehicleº repair
or before removal of the compressor. The parts must be kept clean at all times and any parts to be reassembled
should be cleaned with Trichloroethane, naphtha, kerosene or equivalent solvent and dried with dry air. Use only
lint free cloths to wipe parts.
The operations described are based on bench overhaul with compressor removed from the vehicle, except as
noted. They have been prepared in order of accessibility of the components.
When compressor is removed from the vehicle for servicing, the oil remaining in the compressor should be dis-
carded and new refrigerant oil added to the compressor.
Minor repair procedures may be done on the vehicle without discharging the system. Major repair procedures re-
quire that the system be discharged of refrigerant.
INSPECTION
1) Install manifold gauge set (1) as shown in the figure.
2) Close Hi (4) and Lo (5) hand valves.
3) Run engine at fast idle.
4) Check compressor assembly for following items.
If any of the above checks indicated a defect, repair compressor
assembly.
High pressure gauge reading is not low and low pressure
gauge reading is not higher than normal.
Metallic sound.
Leakage from shaft seal.

DESCRIPTION
The ABS control module monitors the voltage at the terminal of the solenoid circuit constantly with the ignition
switch turned ON. Also, immediately after the ignition switch is turned ªONº, perform an initial check as follows.
Switch the fail-safe relay in the order of ON OFF ON and check if the voltage at 6 solenoid circuit terminals
