CONNECTION OF SERVICE TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT
CAUTION:
To prevent fluorescent indicator from entering, prepare and use exclusive hose for EV (electric vehi-
cle) and HEV (hybrid vehicle) when connecting recovery/recycling/recharging equipment.
Check Refrigerant Leakage

DETECTING LEAKAGES WITH FLUORESCENT INDICATOR
CAUTION:
Do not use fluorescent indicators as these may reduce the insulation resistance.
CHECK REFRIGERANT LEAKAGE USING ELECTRICAL LEAK DETECTOR
CAUTION:
Be careful of the following items so that inaccurate checks or misidentifications are avoided.
• Do not allow refrigerant vapor, shop chemical vapors, cigarette smoke, or others around the vehicle.
• Always check refrigerant leakage in a low air flow environment so that refrigerant may not disperse
when leakage occurs.
1. Connect recovery/recycling/recharging equipment (for HFC-134a) or manifold gauge set to A/C service
valve.
2. Check that refrigerant gas pressure is 345 kPa (3.5 kg/cm
2
, 50 psi) or more when temperature is 16
°C
(61
°F) or more. When pressure is lower than the specified value, fully recover all refrigerant and then
charge with refrigerant from the service can to the specified level.
NOTE:
Leakages may not be detected if refrigerant gas pressure is 345 kPa (3.5 kg/cm
2
, 50 psi) less when tem-
perature is 16
°C (61°F) or less.
3. Clean area where refrigerant leakage check is performed, and check refrigerant leakage along all sur-
faces of pipe connections and A/C system components using electrical leak detector probe.
CAUTION:
• Even when a leakage point has been found, always continue and complete checking along all
pipe connections and A/C system components for additional leakage.
• When a leakage is detected, clean leakage area using compressed air and check again.

• When checking leakage of cooling unit inside, always clean inside of drain hose so that the
probe surface may not be exposed to water or dirt.
NOTE:
• Always check leakage starting from high-pressure side and continue to low-pressure side.
• When checking for leakage inside cooling unit, operate blower motor for 15 minutes or more at the max-
imum fan speed, and then insert electrical leak detector probe into drain hose and leave it inserted for
10 minutes or more.
• When disconnecting shut-off valve that is connected to A/C service valve, always evacuate remaining
refrigerant so that misidentification can be avoided.
4. Repair or replace parts where refrigerant leakage is detected. (Leakage is detected but leakage location is
unknown. GO TO 5.)
5. Start the vehicle and set A/C control in the following conditions.
• A/C switch: ON
• Mode switch: Ventilation set
• Intake switch: Recirculation set
• Temperature setting: Full cold
• Blower motor speed: Maximum speed set
6. Operate A/C for 2 minutes or longer.
7. Stop the A/C. Check again for refrigerant leakage. GO TO 3.
NOTE:
• Start refrigerant leakage check immediately after the A/C is
stopped.
• When refrigerant circulation is stopped, pressure on the low-
pressure side rises gradually, and after this, pressure on the
high-pressure side falls gradually.
• The higher the pressure is, the easier it is to find the refriger-
ant leakage.
Recycle Refrigerant
INFOID:0000000010122105
WARNING:
• Always use HFC-134a for refrigerant gas. If CFC-12 is accidentally charged, compressor is damaged
due to insufficient lubrication.
• Always observe and follow precautions described on refrigerant container. Incorrect handling may
result in an explosion of refrigerant container, frostbite, or the loss of eyesight.
• Do not breathe refrigerant gas and lubricant vapor or mist. Exposure my irritate eyes, nose, or
throat.
• Do not allow HFC-134a to be exposed to an open flame or others because it generates poisonous
gas when in contact with high temperature objects. Keep workshop well ventilated.
• To prevent fluorescent indicator from entering, prepare and use exclusive hose for EV (electric vehi-
cle) and HEV (hybrid vehicle) when connecting recovery/recycling/recharging equipment.
1. Perform oil return operation. Refer to
HA-29, "Perform Lubricant Return Operation"
. (If refrigerant or lubri-
cant leakage is detected in a large amount, omit this step, and then GO TO 2.)
CAUTION:
Do not perform lubricant return operation if a large amount of refrigerant or lubricant leakage is
detected.
2. Check gauge pressure readings of recovery/recycling/recharging equipment (for HFC-134a). When
remaining pressure exists, recycle refrigerant from high-pressure hose and low-pressure hose.
NOTE:
Follow manufacturer instructions for the handling or maintenance of the equipment. Never fill the equip-
ment with non-specified refrigerant.
3. Remove A/C service valve cap from the vehicle.
4. Connect recovery/recycling/recharging equipment (for HFC-134a) to the A/C service valve.
5. Operate recovery/recycling/recharging equipment (for HFC-134a), and recycle refrigerant from the vehi-
cle.

6. Evacuate air for 10 minutes or more to remove any remaining refrigerant integrated to compressor lubri-
cant, etc.
7. Refrigerant recycle operation is complete.
Charge Refrigerant
INFOID:0000000010122106
WARNING:
• Always use HFC-134a for refrigerant. If CFC-12 is accidentally charged, compressor is damaged due
to insufficient lubrication.
• Always observe and follow precautions described on refrigerant container. Incorrect handling may
result in an explosion of refrigerant container, frostbite, or the loss of eyesight.
• When charging with refrigerant gas, charge with the prescribed amount from a new service can.
• Do not breathe refrigerant gas and lubricant vapor or mist. Exposure my irritate eyes, nose, or
throat.
• Do not allow HFC-134a to be exposed to an open flame or others because it generates poisonous
gas when in contact with high temperature objects. Keep workshop well ventilated.
• To prevent fluorescent indicator from entering, prepare and use exclusive hose for EV (electric vehi-
cle) and HEV (hybrid vehicle) when connecting recovery/recycling/recharging equipment.
1. Connect manifold gauge (for HFC-134a) to the service valve.
2. Connect vacuum pump to manifold gauge and operate the pump. Apply vacuum to the cooler cycle for
approximately 25 minutes or longer.
CAUTION:
Evacuate air for 15 minutes or more if the parts are replaced.
3. Check the airtightness of A/C system for 25 minutes or more. If pressure raises more than the specified
level, charge A/C system with approximately 200 g (0.4 lb) refrigerant and check that there is no refriger-

CAUTION:
Check the airtightness for 15 minutes or more if the parts are replaced.
4. If parts other than compressor were replaced, add compressor oil according to parts that were replaced.

Description
INFOID:0000000010122107
MAINTENANCE OF LUBRICANT LEVEL
The compressor lubricant is circulating in the system together with the refrigerant. It is necessary to fill com-
pressor with lubricant when replacing A/C system parts or when a large amount of refrigerant leakage is
detected. It is important to always maintain lubricant level within the specified level. Or otherwise, the following
conditions may occur.
• Insufficient lubricant amount: Stuck compressor
• Excessive lubricant amount: Insufficient cooling (caused by insufficient heat exchange)
Inspection
INFOID:0000000010122108
If there is a malfunction (abnormal noise from inside, cooling failure) in the compressor unit, check the com-
pressor oil.
1.
CHECK COMPRESSOR OIL
1. Remove electric compressor.
2. Refer to the diagram and judge the drained compressor oil.
Judgment result 1:>>Replace only compressor.
Judgment result 2:>>Replace compressor and liquid tank.
Perform Lubricant Return Operation
INFOID:0000000010122109

If a large amount of refrigerant or lubricant leakage is detected, never perform lubricant return opera-
tion.
1. Start the vehicle and set to the following conditions.
• A/C switch: ON
• Blower motor speed: Maximum speed set
• Intake switch: Recirculation set
• Temperature setting: Full cold
2. Perform lubricant return operation for approximately 10 minutes.
3. Stop A/C operation.
4. Oil return operation is complete.
