Gauge indication

Probable cause
Corrective action
Low-pressure side sometimes be-
comes negative.
• Air conditioning system does
not function and does not cy-
clically cool the compart-
ment air.

tions for a certain period of
time after compressor is
stopped and restarted.
Refrigerant does not discharge
cyclically.

Probable cause
Corrective action
Low-pressure side becomes nega-

Liquid tank or front/rear side of
expansion valve
′
s pipe is frost-
ed or dewed.
High-pressure side is closed
and refrigerant does not flow.
↓
Expansion valve or liquid tank
is frosted.
Leave the system at rest until
no frost is present. Start it
again to check whether or not
the malfunction is caused by
water or foreign particles.
• If water is the cause, initially
cooling is okay. Then the wa-
ter freezes causing a block-
age. Drain water from
refrigerant or replace refrig-
erant.
• If due to foreign particles, re-
move expansion valve and
remove the particles with dry
and compressed air (not
shop air).
• If either of the above meth-
ods cannot correct the mal-
function, replace expansion
valve.
• Replace liquid tank.
• Check oil for contamination.

1.
CONFIRM SYMPTOM BY PERFORMING OPERATIONAL CHECK - TEMPERATURE INCREASE
1. Press the AUTO switch.
2. Turn the temperature control dial (driver) clockwise until 32
°
C (90
°
F) is displayed.
3. Check for hot air at discharge air outlets.
Can this symptom be duplicated?
YES
>> GO TO 2.
NO
>> Perform complete system operational check. Refer to
.
2.
CHECK FOR SERVICE BULLETINS
Check for any service bulletins.
>> GO TO 3.
3.
PERFORM SELF-DIAGNOSIS
Perform self-diagnosis. Refer to
HAC-24, "A/C Auto Amp. Self-Diagnosis"
.
Is the inspection results normal?
YES
>> GO TO 4.
NO
>> Refer to
HAC-25, "A/C System Self-Diagnosis Code Chart"
.
4.
CHECK ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM
1. Check for proper engine coolant level. Refer to
(VK56DE).
2. Check hoses for leaks or kinks.
3. Check radiator cap. Refer to
(VQ40DE) or
(VK56DE).
4. Check for air in cooling system.
>> GO TO 5.
5.
CHECK AIR MIX DOOR OPERATION
Check the operation of the air mix door.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES
>> GO TO 6.
NO
>> Check the air mix door motor circuit. Refer to
HAC-140, "Air Mix Door Motor Component Function
.
6.
CHECK AIR DUCTS
Check for disconnected or leaking air ducts.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES
>> GO TO 7.
NO
>> Repair all disconnected or leaking air ducts.
7.
CHECK HEATER HOSE TEMPERATURES
1. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
2. Touch both the inlet and outlet heater hoses. The inlet hose should be hot and the outlet hose should be
warm.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES
>> Hot inlet hose and a warm outlet hose: GO TO 8.
NO
>> • Inlet hose cold: GO TO 11.
• Both hoses warm: GO TO 9.
