1B-8 AIR CONDITIONING (OPTIONAL)
DIAGNOSIS OF ABNORMAL NOISE
There are various types of noise, ranging from those produced in the engine compartment to those from the pas-
senger compartment, also from rumbling noises to whistling noises.
ABNORMAL NOISE FROM COMPRESSOR
ConditionPossible CauseCorrection
During compressor operation, a
rumbling noise is heard
proportional to engine
revolutions.Inadequate clearance in piston
area (piston or swash-plate).Repair or replace compressor as
necessary.
A loud noise is heard at a certain
rpm, disproportionately to engine
revolution.Loose or faulty V-belt.
Loose mounting bolts.Adjust V-belt tension, or
replace belt.
Retighten mounting bolts.
A loud rattle is heard at low
engine rpm.Loose compressor center bolt.Retighten center bolt.
Replace compressor if it was
operated in this condition for a
long time.
ABNORMAL NOISE FROM MAGNETIC CLUTCH
ConditionPossible CauseCorrection
A rumbling noise is heard when
compressor is not operating.Worn or damaged bearings.Replace bearings.
A chattering noise is heard when
compressor is engaged.Faulty clutch gap (excessive).
Worn clutch friction surface.
Compressor oil leaked from shaft
seal, contaminating the friction
surface.Adjust clutch gap.
Replace clutch.
Replace compressor shaft oil
seal.
ABNORMAL NOISE FROM TUBING
ConditionPossible CauseCorrection
A droning noise is heard inside
vehicle, but not particularly
noticeable in engine
compartment.Faulty tubing clamps.
Resonance caused by pulsation
from variations in refrigerant
pressure.Reposition clamps or increase
the number of clamps.
Attach a silencer to tubing, or
modify its position and length.
ABNORMAL NOISE FROM CONDENSER
ConditionPossible CauseCorrection
Considerable vibration in
condenser.Resonance from condenser
mounting stay and body.Firmly insert a silencer between
condenser mounting stay and
body.

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.

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.
