*1: For vehicles with the 2TR-FE engine which have neither the rear cooler nor cool box, the refrigerant charging amount changes based on region.
Note
Do not operate the cooler compressor before charging refrigerant as the cooler compressor will not work properly without any refrigerant, and will overheat.
Approximately 100 g (3.53 oz.) of refrigerant may need to be charged after bubbles disappear. The refrigerant amount should be checked by measuring its quantity, and not with the sight glass.
WARM UP ENGINE
Warm up the engine at less than 1850 rpm for 2 minutes or more after charging the refrigerant.
Note
Be sure to warm up the compressor when turning the A/C switch is on after removing and installing the cooler refrigerant lines (including the compressor), to prevent damage to the compressor.
CHECK FOR REFRIGERANT GAS LEAK
Warm up the engine at less than 1850 rpm for 2 minutes or more after charging the refrigerant.
Note
Be sure to warm up the compressor when turning the A/C switch is on after removing and installing the cooler refrigerant lines (including the compressor), to prevent damage to the compressor.
