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.

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.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Front alignment refers to the angular relationship between the front wheels, the front suspension attaching parts
and the ground. Generally, the only adjustment required for front alignment is toe setting.
Camber and caster can't be adjusted. Therefore, should camber or caster be out of specification due to the damage
caused by hazardous road conditions or collision, whether the damage is in body or in suspension should be deter-
mined. If the body is damaged, it should be repaired and if suspension is damaged, it should replaced.
TOE SETTING
Toe is the turning in or out of the front wheels. The purpose of a toe specification is to ensure parallel rolling of the
front wheels (Excessive toe-in or toe-out may increase tire wear).
Amount of toe can be obtained by subtracting ªAº front ªBº as shown in above figure and therefore is given in mm
(in.).

5) Check relief pressure

Increase engine speed to about 1,500 r / min (rpm). Close
gauge valve gradually while watching pressure increase indi-
cated by gauge and take reading of relief pressure (maximum
hydraulic pressure).
Relief pressure:
6200 ± 7000 kPa
(62 ± 70 kg / cm
2, 882 ± 995 psi) G16 Type engine. . . . . . .
6700 ± 7500 kPa

7050 ± 7850 kPa
(70.5 ± 78.5 kg / cm
2, 1003 ± 1116 psi) H25 Type engine. .

When it is higher than specified values, possible cause is mal-
function of relief valve.

When it is lower than specified values, possible cause is either
failure of P / S pump or settling of relief valve spring.
CAUTION:
Be sure not to close gauge valve for longer than 10 se-
conds.

Next, open gauge valve fully and increase engine speed to
about 1,500 r / min (rpm). Then turn steering wheel to the left
or right fully and take reading of relief pressure.
Relief pressure:
6200 ± 7000 kPa

7050 ± 7850 kPa
(70.5 ± 78.5 kg / cm
2, 1003 ± 1116 psi) H25 Type engine. .

When it is higher than specified values, possible cause is mal-
function of relief valve.

When it is lower than specified values, possible cause is failure
in steering gear box. Replace gear box.
CAUTION:
Be sure not to hold steering wheel at fully turned posi-
tion for longer than 10 seconds.
BOOT
STEERING RACK BOOT CHECK
Check boot for crack and damage which, if any, means possibility
of rusty gear, entry of dust or lack of grease. Also, check if any of
such faulty conditions exists.
