REAR HEATER SWITCH CONTINUITY CHECK

REAR BLOWER MOTOR OPERATION CHECK

Check that the motor rotates when the battery voltage is
applied between the terminals. Make sure that there is no
abnormal noise from the motor at this time.

RESISTER CHECK

Use an ohmmeter to check the resistance between terminals
number 3 and number 4.

REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS

.

<<A>> DRIVE BELT REMOVAL
1. Loosen the nut "A" for holding.
2. Loosen the bolt "B" for adjustment.
3. Remove the drive belt.

.

<<B>> SUCTION HOSE, DISCHARGE HOSE REMOVAL

CAUTION

Seal the hoses completely, otherwise the compressor oil
and receiver will absorb water vapor easily, possibly dam-
aging the compressor and deteriorating performance.
Plug the disconnected hose and compressor nipple to prevent
foreign matter from getting into them.

.

<<C>> COMPRESSOR REMOVAL
When removing the compressor, be careful not to spill the com-
pressor oil.

INSTALLATION SERVICE POINT

.

>>A<< COMPRESSOR INSTALLATION
If a new compressor is installed, first adjust the amount of oil
according to the procedures described below, and then install
the compressor.
1. Measure the amount [X cm

3

(X floz)] of oil within the

removed compressor.

2. Drain (from the new compressor) the amount of oil

calculated according to the following formula, and then
install the new compressor.
New compressor oil amount: 170 cm

3

(5.7 floz)

170 cm

3

− X cm

3

= Y cm

3

(5.7 floz

− X floz = Y floz)

NOTE: Y cm

3

(Y floz) indicates the amount of oil in the refriger-

ant line, the condenser, the evaporator, etc.
NOTE: When replacing the following parts at the same times as
the compressor, subtract the rated oil amount of the each part
from Y cm

3

(Y floz) and discharge from the new compressor.

Quantity:

• Evaporator: 70 cm

3

(2.4 floz)

• Condenser: 20 cm

3

(0.7 floz)

• Suction hose: 10 cm

3

(0.3 floz)

• Receiver: 10 cm

REFRIGERANT-TEMPERATURE SWITCH SIMPLE
CHECK

When the A/C is off, check that there is continuity between the
refrigerant-temperature switch terminals. If not, replace the
compressor assembly.

COMPRESSOR A/C COMPRESSOR CLUTCH
OPERATION INSPECTION

Connect the positive battery terminal to the compressor A/C
compressor clutch connector terminal 3, and ground the nega-
tive battery terminal to the body of the compressor. The condi-
tion is normal if the sound of the A/C compressor clutch (click)
can be heard.
