ON±VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. INSPECT FOR LEAKAGE OF REFRIGERANT
(a) Remove glove compartment (See page BO±75).
(b) Remove the blower resistor.
(1) Disconnect the connector.
(2) Remove the 2 screws and blower resistor.
(c) Using a gas leak detector, check for leakage.
If there is leakage, check the tightening torque at the joints or
check the evaporator.
(d) Install the blower resistor.
(e) Install the lower No. 2 finish panel (See page BO±81).
2. INSPECT THERMISTOR RESISTANCE
(a) Disconnect the connector.
(b) Measure resistance between terminals.
Standard resistance: 1,500 W at 25°C (77°F)
If resistance is not as specified, replace the thermistor.

INSPECTION
1. CHECK EVAPORATOR FINS FOR BLOCKAGE
If the fins are clogged, clean them with compressed air.
NOTICE:
Never use water to clean the evaporator.
2. CHECK FITTING FOR CRACKS OR SCRATCHES
Repair as necessary.
3. INSPECT THERMISTOR RESISTANCE
(a) Place the thermistor in cold water, and while changing the
temperature of water, measure resistance at the connec-
tor and at the same time, measure temperature of water
with a thermometer.
(b) Compare the 2 readings on the chart.
If resistance value is not as specified, replace the thermistor.

NOTICE:
The packing for water seal should be replaced, with a new
one when the A/C unit is reassembled.
(d) Install the 2 new packings.
(e) Install the grommet to evaporator.
HINT:
If evaporator is replaced, add compressor oil to the compressor.
Add 40 ± 50 cc (1.4 ± 1.7 fl.oz.)
Compressor oil: ND ± OIL 8 or equivalent
3. INSTALL EXPANSION VALVE
(a) Lubricate 2 new O±rings with compressor oil and install
the tubes.
(b) Install the liquid tube and suction tube on the expansion
valve.
(c) Using a knife, cut off packing paper of packing while peel
off the paper, as shown in the illustration.
HINT:
Leave the packing paper untaped on the tube side so that the
installation bolt hole for remains visible.
(d) Apply new packing.
NOTICE:
Do not overtape the packing beyond the expansion valve
edge.

SYSTEM on page AC±3.
3. INSPECT COMPRESSOR LOCK SENSOR RESIS-
TANCE
(a) Disconnect the connector.
