On-vehicle inspection

1. INSPECT EXPANSION VALVE

(a) Check amount of gas during refrigeration cycle.

(b) Set on manifold gauge set.

(d) Operate the A/C system.

(e) Inspect the expansion valve.

Run the engine at 1,500 rpm for at least 5 minutes.
Check the high pressure reading is 1.37 - 1.57 MPa (14 - 16 kgf/cm2, 199 - 288 psi).
Check the low pressure reading.

If the low pressure reading is 0 kPa (0 kgf/cm2, 0psi), replace the expansion valve.

2. REMOVE REAR DOOR SCUFF PLATE RH

3. REMOVE REAR FLOOR MAT SUPPORT PLATE

4. REMOVE QUARTER TRIM PANEL RH

5. INSPECT THERMISTOR RESISTANCE

(a) Disconnect the connector.

(b) Measure resistance between terminal 3 and 4.

Standard resistance: Approx. 1.5 kW at 25 C (77 F)

If resistance is not as specified, proceed "INSPECTION" on page AC-36 .

6. INSPECT MAGNETIC VALVE CONTINUITY

(a) Disconnect the connector.

(b) Check the continuity exists between terminal 1 and 2.

If resistance is not as specified, proceed "INSPECTION" on page AC-36 .

7. CHECK FOR LEAKAGE OF REFRIGERANT

(a) Remove the power transistor.

(b) Using a gas leak detector, check for leaks of refrigerant.

If there is a leakage, check the evaporator or tightening torque at the joints.

REASSEMBLY

Reassembly is in the reverse of disassembly (AC-34 ).
