1-22 HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING
•
Direct charging with a manifold gauge charging
station method.
Handling the charge valve handle when installing refrigerant
container.
1) Before attaching the charge valve to the refrigerant
container, turn the charge valve handle counterclockwise
until the needle is fully retracted.
2) Turn the plate nut counterclockwise until it reaches its
highest position relative to the charge valve.
3) Install the charge valve onto the refrigerant container.
4) Turn the plate nut clockwise and connect the center hose of
the manifold gauge to the charge valve.
5) Tighten the plate nut sufficiently by hand. Then turn the
charge valve handle clockwise to lower the needle and bore
a hole in the refrigerant container.
6) Turn the charge valve handle counterclockwise to raise the
needle. The refrigerant in the refrigerant container is
charged into the air conditioning system by the operation of
the manifold gauge.
•
Be absolutely sure not to reuse the emptied refrigerant
container.
HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING 1-23
1) Make sure the evacuation process is correctly completed.
2) Connect the center-hose of the manifold gauge to the
refrigerant container.
•
Turn the charge valve handle counterclockwise to purge
to charging line and purge any air exiting in the center-
hose of the manifold gauge.
3) Open the low-pressure hand valve and charge the
refrigerant about 200 g (0.44 lbs.).
•
Make sure the high-pressure hand valve is closed.
•
Avoid charging the refrigerant by turning the refrigerant
container upside down.
4) Close the low-pressure hand valve of the manifold gauge.
•
Check to ensure that the degree of pressure does not
change.
5) Check the refrigerant leaks by using a R-134a leak
detector.
•
If a leak occurs, repair the leak connection, and start all
over again from the first step of evacuation.
6) If no leaks are found, open the low-pressure hand valve of
the manifold gauge. Then continue charging refrigerant to
the system.
•
When charging the system becomes difficult:
(1) Run the engine at 1,300
∼
1,500 rpm and open the all
vehicle doors.
(2) A/C switch is "ON".
(3) Set the fan control knob (fan switch) to its highest
position.
WARNING
BE ABSOLUTELY SURE NOT TO OPEN THE HIGH-
PRESSURE HAND VALVE. SHOULD THE HIGH-
PRESSURE HAND VALVE BE OPENED, THE HIGH-
PRESSURE REFRIGERANT GAS WOULD FLOW
BACKWARD, AND THIS MAY CAUSE THE REFRIGERANT
CONTAINER TO BURST.
7) When the refrigerant container is emptied, use the following
procedure to replace it with a new refrigerant container.
(1) Close the low-pressure hand valve.
(2) Raise the needle upward and remove the charge valve.
(3) Reinstall the charge valve to the new refrigerant
container.
(4) Purge any air existing in the center hose of the manifold
gauge.
8) Charge the system to the specified amount and then close
the low-pressure hand valve.

•
A fully charged system is indicated by the sight glass on
the receiver/drier being free of any bubbles (Refer to
"Reading Sight Glass").
•
Check the high and low pressure value of the manifold
gauge.
•
Check for refrigerant leaks by using a R-134a leak
detector.
Immediately after charging refrigerant, both high and low
pressures are slightly high and to the left of the gauge, but they
settle down to the guide pressure valves as shown below:
•

9) Close the low pressure hand valve and charge valve of the
refrigerant container.
10)Stop the air conditioning and the engine.
11)Disconnect the high and low pressure hoses from the
manifold gauge fittings.

High and low
pressure pipe
temperature
The high pressure
pipe is hot and the
low pressure pipe is
cold. There is a
distinct difference
in temperature
between them.
The high pressure
pipe is warm and
the low pressure
pipe is cool. There
is no great
difference in
temperature
between them.
There is little
difference in
temperature
between the high
pressure pipe and
the low pressure
pipe.
The high pressure
pipe is hot and the
low pressure pipe is
slightly warm.
There is a

temperature
between them.
Sight glass
condition
Almost transparent.
A flow of bubbles
can be seen, but
they disappear
when the throttle is
opened.
A flow of bubbles
always can be
seen. It appears
sometimes
transparent, and
sometimes frothy.
Something like fog
faintly can be seen.
Evan at idle with
the fan at "HI" (with
the window fully
open), the bubbles
cannot be seen.

The sight glass provides accurate diagnosis only under the following conditions.
If the vehicle can be tested under these conditions, check the sight glass appearance and compare to the chart
*
Engine speed 1,500 RPM
*
A/C switch "ON"
*
Blower fan operating at highest speed
*
Air source selector lever at "RECIRC"
*
Temperature control lever at coldest position
*
Ambient temperature below 35
°
C (95

F) and humidity below 70% (See NOTE 1)
*
High side pressure less than 1667 kPa (17 kg

/242 PSI) (See NOTE 2)
NOTE 1
If the vehicle cannot be moved to a testing location that meets these specifications, then the sight glass cannot be
used for diagnosis. You must discharge and recover the refrigerant, then recharge the system with the specified
amount of refrigerant.
Then continue checking the system performance.
NOTE 2
If the high side pressure is greater than stated, the sight glass cannot be used for diagnosis. You must discharge
and recover the refrigerant, then recharge the system with the specified amount of refrigerant.
Then continue checking system performance.
