    2. A01H0SL

      Using a dial indicator, check the runout of the tires.

      Tire runout
      1.0 mm (0.0394 in.) or less

  3. INSPECT LIGHTS, HORNS, WIPERS AND WASHERS

  4. CLEAN OR REPLACE AIR CONDITIONING FILTER


    1. Remove the air conditioning filter Click here.

      Note

      Before removing the air conditioning filter, turn the power switch off and set the air conditioner to recirculation mode.

    2. Visually inspect the surface of the air conditioning filter.

    3. If the air conditioning filter is contaminated with foreign matter, clean or replace it according to the maintenance schedule.

      Note

      Some filters are not able to be cleaned.

  5. CORROSION INSPECTION

  6. ROAD TEST


    1. Check the engine and chassis for abnormal noises.

    2. Check that the brakes work properly and do not drag.

    3. Set the parking brake shoes and drums.

  7. INSPECT REFRIGERANT AMOUNT OF AIR CONDITIONER


    1. A01GZ4IE01
      Text in Illustration
      *1 Sight Glass

      Check the sight glass.


      1. Prepare the vehicle according to the chart below.

        Item Condition
        Vehicle doors Fully open
        Temperature setting Max cool
        Power switch On (Ready)
        Blower speed High
        A/C switch On

      2. Compare the sight glass to the following chart.

        Item Symptom Amount of Refrigerant Corrective Action
        1 Bubbles exist Insufficient*

        1. Check for refrigerant leaks and repair if necessary

        2. Recharge air conditioning system with proper amount of refrigerant
        2 No bubbles exist Empty, insufficient or excessive Refer to 3 and 4
        3 No temperature difference between compressor inlet and outlet Empty or nearly empty

        1. Check for refrigerant leaks and repair if necessary

        2. Evacuate air conditioning system and recharge with proper amount of refrigerant
        4 Considerable temperature difference between compressor inlet and outlet Proper or excessive Refer to 5 and 6
        5 Immediately after air conditioning is turned off, refrigerant in sight glass remains clear Excessive

        1. Recover refrigerant

        2. Evacuate air conditioning system and recharge with proper amount of refrigerant
        6 Immediately after air conditioning is turned off, refrigerant in sight glass foams and then becomes clear Proper -

        *: Bubbles in the sight glass with the vehicle's interior temperature above 35°C (95°F) can be considered normal if cooling is sufficient.

  8. REPLACE AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR
