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 set (3) are firmly closed.
3) Connect high pressure charging hose (4) to high pressure
service valve (5), and connect low pressure charging hose
(6) to low pressure service valve (7).
4) Bleed the air in charging hoses (4), (6) by loosening their
respective nuts on manifold gauge set (3), utilizing the refrig-
erant pressure. When a hissing sound 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. (Radiator cooling fan should not be
working when checking pressure and temperature.)
6) Turn A/C switch ON, and set blower switch at “HI” (3rd posi-
tion), temperature knob at “COOL” air outlet control knob at
“FACE” and fresh / circulation control knob at “CIRCULA-
TION”. (Confirm that A/C compressor and radiator / con-
denser cooling fan are working.)
Keep all windows, doors and engine food open.
Performance diagnosis condition
7) With dry bulb thermometer (1) inserted into center duct air
outlet and another one set near evaporator air inlet, read
temperature indicated on each thermometer. CAUTION:
Do not interchange high and low pressure charging
hoses by mistake.
Ambient temperature 15 – 35 °C (59 – 95 °F)
Engine rpm Keep to 1,500 rpm.
Blower fan motor switch “H” (3rd position)
Temperature control “Cool”
Air outlet control “Face”
Vehicle doors All open

Condenser Assembly
INSPECTION
Check the following.
Check clog of condenser fins.
If, any clogs are found, condenser fins should be washed
with water, and should be dried with compressed air.
Check condenser fins for leakage and breakage.
If any defects are found, repair or replace condenser.
Check condenser fittings for leakage.
If any defects are found, repair or replace condenser.
REMOVAL
1) Disconnect negative (–) cable at battery.
2) Recover refrigerant from A/C system by referring to “Recov-
ery” in this section.
3) Remove front bumper referring to “Front Bumper” in Section
8.
4) Disconnect A/C condenser cooling fan motor and dual pres-
sure switch connectors.
5) Remove radiator mounting bolts.
6) Disconnect discharge hose (1) from condenser (2).
7) Disconnect receiver / dryer outlet hose (3) and condenser
outlet pipe (4) from receiver / dryer (5).
8) Remove condenser cooling fan assembly (6) from con-
denser (2).
9) Remove receiver / dryer (5) with its bracket (7) from con-
denser (2).
10) Remove condenser (2) from radiator.
INSTALLATION
Reverse removal procedure to install condenser, and then noting
the following instructions.
Replenish specified amount of compressor oil to compressor
suction side by referring to “Replenishing Compressor Oil” in
this section.
Evacuate and charge refrigerant by referring to “Evacuating”
and “Charging” in this section. CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage condenser fins. If condenser fin
is bent, straighten it by using flat head screwdriver or
pair of pliers.
NOTE:
The amount of removed compressor oil must be mea-
sured for replenishing compressor oil.

Condenser Cooling Fan Assembly
ASSEMBLY
INSPECTION
1) Check continuity between each two terminals about the con-
denser cooling fan motor (1).
If check results are no continuity, replace condenser cooling
fan motor.
2) Connect battery to condenser cooling fan motor as shown in
figure, then check that the condenser cooling fan motor
operates smoothly.
Reference current of condenser cooling fan motor
approximately 7.5 A at 12 V
REMOVAL
1) Remove front bumper.
2) Disconnect condenser cooling fan motor connector (1).
3) Remove radiator mounting bolts.
4) Remove condenser cooling fan assembly (2) from con-
denser (3).
INSTALLATION
Reverse removal procedure for installation.CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage condenser fins. If condenser fin
is bent, straighten condenser fin by using flat head
screwdriver or pair of pliers.
