REMOVE ENGINE ASSEMBLY WITH TRANSAXLE (for 2GR-FE)
RECOVER REFRIGERANT FROM REFRIGERATION SYSTEM (for 2AR-FE)
Start the engine.
Operate the cooler compressor under the conditions shown below:
| Item | Condition | Indicator |
|---|---|---|
| Operating Time | 3 minutes or more | - |
| Temperature setting | Max cool | - |
| Blower speed | High | |
| Engine | Idling | - |
| A/C switch | On | |
