Diagnostic Information and Procedures
A/C System Performance InspectionS6RW0D7214001
1) Confirm that vehicle and environmental conditions
are as follows.
• Vehicle is put indoors.
• Ambient temperature is within 25 – 35 °C (77 – 95
°F).
• Relative humidity is within 30 – 70%.
• There is no wind indoors.
• HVAC unit is normal.
• Blower motor is normal.
• There is no air leakage from air ducts.
• Condenser fins are clean.
• HVAC air filter is not clogged with dirt and dust (if
equipped).
• Battery voltage is about 12 V.
• Radiator cooling fan operates normally.
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 service valve (5) on vehicle and low
pressure charging hose (4) to low pressure service
valve (6).
4) Bleed the air in charging hoses (3) and (4) by
loosening their nuts respectively utilizing the
refrigerant pressure. When a hissing sound is heard,
immediately tighten nut.
CAUTION!
Do not connect high and low pressure
charging hoses in reverse.

5) Warm up engine to the normal operating
temperature and keep it at the specified idle speed.
6) Turn A/C switch ON, set blower speed selector at
maximum speed position, temperature selector at
maximum cold position, air flow selector at face
position, and air intake selector at recirculation
position. (Confirm that A/C compressor, A/C
condenser cooling fan and radiator cooling fan are
working.)
7) Wait for ten minutes to stabilize the A/C operation.
8) Open all door windows, front doors and engine hood.
9) With about 20 mm (0.8 in.) of dry bulb thermometer
(1) put right in front of center ventilation louver and a
wet and dry bulb thermometer (2) near air inlet of
HVAC unit.

10) Check for each pressure of low side and high side if it is within shaded range of graph. If each gauge reading is out
of specified pressure, correct defective part referring to the following table.
When diagnosing troubles of abnormal pressure on the low side and high side for each pressure more specifically,
refer to “Trouble Diagnosis for Abnormal Pressure”.
NOTE
Pressure registered on gauge varies with ambient temperature. Therefore, use the graphs when
determining if pressures are normal or not.

Low side and high side pressure example, Gauges should read as follows when ambient temperature is 30
°C (86 °F)
Pressure on high pressure gauge (HI): 1130 – 1560 kPa (11.4 – 15.6 kgf/cm2)
Pressure on low pressure gauge (LO): 270 – 390 kPa (2.7 – 3.9 kgf/cm2)

Trouble Diagnosis for Abnormal PressureS6RW0D7214002
NOTE
Normal pressure values on high side and low side in following table are measured when the ambient
temperature is 30 °C. As normal pressure values on high side and low side vary depending on the
ambient temperature, be sure to perform following steps first when diagnosing troubles.
1. Measure the ambient temperature and using that value, read the normal value from the graph given
in Step 10 of “A/C System Performance Inspection”.
2. Put that value in place of the normal pressure in following table.

Evacuation
CAUTION!
Do not evacuate before recovering
refrigerant in A/C system.

NOTE
Once air conditioning system circuit is
opened (exposed) to atmospheric air, system
must be evacuated by using a vacuum pump.
The A/C system should be attached with a
manifold gauge set, and should be evacuated
for approximately 15 minutes.

1) Connect high charging hose (1) and low charging
hose (2) of manifold gauge set (3) (special tool)
respectively as follows:
High charging hose → High pressure charging valve
(4) on discharge hose
Low charging hose → Low pressure charging valve
(5) on suction pipe
Special tool
(A): 09990–06020
2) Attach center charging hose (6) of manifold gauge
set to vacuum pump (7).
3) Operate vacuum pump, and then open discharge
side valve (Hi) (8) of manifold gauge set.
If there is no blockage in the system, there will be an
indication on high pressure gauge (9).
When this occurs, open the other side valve (Lo)
(10) of the set.
4) Approximately 10 minutes later, low pressure gauge
(11) should show a vacuum lower than –100 kPa (–
1.0 kgf/cm
2, –760 mmHg, –14.7 psi) providing no
leakage exists.
NOTE
• If the system does not show a vacuum
below –100 kPa (–1.0 kgf/cm
2, –760 mmHg,
–14.7 psi), close both valves, stop vacuum
pump and watch movement of low
pressure gauge.
• Increase in the gauge reading suggests
existence of leakage. In this case, repair
the system before continuing its
evacuation.
• If the gauge shows a stable reading
(suggesting no leakage), continue
evacuation.

5) Evacuation should be carried out for a total of at
least 15 minutes.
6) Continue evacuation until low pressure gauge
indicates a vacuum less than –100 kPa (–1.0 kgf/
cm
2, –760 mmHg, –14.7 psi), and then close both
valves.
7) Stop vacuum pump. Disconnect center charging
hose from pump inlet. Now, the system is ready for
charging refrigerant.
Checking A/C System for Pressure Leaks
After completing the evacuation, close manifold gauge
high pressure valve and low pressure valve and wait 10
minutes. Verify that low pressure gauge reading has not
changed.
CAUTION!
If the gauge reading moves closer to “0”,
there is a leak somewhere. Inspect the tubing
connections and make necessary
corrections. And then, evacuate system once
again and make sure that there are no leaks.

Charge
CAUTION!
• Because the sight glass is not used for this
A/C system, do not perform an additional
charge to the A/C system. To charge the
proper amount of refrigerant, recover and
evacuate the A/C system first. And then,
charge the proper amount of refrigerant
into the A/C system.
• Always charge refrigerant through low
pressure side of A/C system after the initial
charge is performed from the high
pressure side with the engine stopped.
• Never charge refrigerant through high
pressure side of A/C system with engine
running.
• Do not charge refrigerant while
compressor is hot.
• When installing tap valve to refrigerant
container to make a hole there through,
carefully follow directions given by
manufacturer.
• A pressure gauge should always be used
before and during refrigerant charge.
• The refrigerant container should be
emptied of refrigerant when discarding it.
• The refrigerant container should not be
heated up to 40 °C (104 °F) or over.
• Refrigerant container should not be
reversed in direction during refrigerant
charge. Reversing in direction causes
liquid refrigerant to enter compressor,
causing troubles, such as compression of
liquid refrigerant and the like.

NOTE
The air conditioning system contains HFC-
134a (R-134a).
Described here is a method to charge the air
conditioning system with refrigerant from the
refrigerant service container.
When charging refrigerant recovered by
using the refrigerant and recycling
equipment (when recycling refrigerant),
follow the procedure described in the
equipment manufacturer’s instruction
manual.

The initial charge of the A/C system is performed
through the high pressure side with the engine stopped.
And next, this method must be followed by charging from
the low pressure side with the engine running.
1) Check if hoses are routed properly after evacuating
the system.
2) Connect low charging hose (1) and high charging
hose (2) of the manifold gauge set (3) in position.
Then, open refrigerant container valve (4) to purge
the charging line.
3) Open the high pressure side valve (5) and charge
refrigerant to system.
4) After a while, open the low pressure side valve (6)
and close the high pressure side valve.
WARNING!
Make sure that high pressure side valve is
closed securely.

5) Start engine and keep engine speed at 1500 r/min,
and then operate A/C system.
6) Charge A/C system with refrigerant in vapor state. At
this time, refrigerant container should be held
upright.
