1. INSPECT REFRIGERANT PRESSURE WITH MANIFOLD GAUGE SET
(a) This method uses a manifold gauge set to locate problem areas. Read the manifold gauge pressure when these conditions are established.
Test conditions:
(b) Gauge readings (Reference)
(1) Normally functioning refrigeration system
Gauge reading
(2) The A/C system periodically changes between normal and improper function due to moisture in the refrigerant system.
(3) The A/C system does not function effectively due to insufficient cooling.
(4) The A/C system does not function effectively due to poor circulation of the refrigerant.
(5) The A/C system does not function intermittently because the refrigerant does not circulate.
(6) The A/C system does not function effectively due to overcharged refrigerant or insufficient cooling of the condenser.
(7) The A/C system does not function due to air in the refrigeration system.
CAUTION: The low-pressure piping may be very hot and cause serious burns. |
(8) The A/C system does not function effectively due to an expansion valve malfunction.
(9) The A/C system does not function due to a defective compressor.

1. INSPECT A/C ROOM TEMPERATURE SENSOR
(a) Remove the A/C room temperature sensor.
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in
the table below.
Standard resistance
NOTICE:
Even slightly touching the sensor may
change the resistance value. Be sure ...
TC and CG Terminal Circuit
DESCRIPTION
DTC output mode is set by connecting terminals TC and CG of the DLC3.
The DTCs are displayed by the blinking pattern of the ABS warning light.

1. INSPECT THROTTLE BODY
(a) Listen to the throttle control motor operating sounds.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(2) When pressing the accelerator pedal position
sensor lever, listen to the running motor. Make
sure that no friction noise comes from the
motor.
If fricti ...
