      A01J9PZE05
      Standard
      470 g (16.6 oz.)
      SST
      09985-20010   ( 09985-02010, 09985-02050, 09985-02060, 09985-02070, 09985-02080, 09985-02090, 09985-02110, 09985-02130, 09985-02140, 09985-02150 )

      Note


      • Do not turn the A/C on before charging with refrigerant. Doing so will cause the compressor to work without refrigerant, resulting in overheating of the cooler compressor.

      • Approximately 100 g (3.53 oz.) of refrigerant may need to be charged after bubbles disappear. The refrigerant amount should be checked by quantity, not with the sight glass.

      • Avoid using the gauge manifold set that had been used for vehicles with conventional compressor oil (ND-OIL 8 or equivalent) as much as possible. This will cause compressor oil remaining in the manifold to enter the vehicle, resulting in insulation performance deterioration. A gauge manifold set that had been used 3 times or less can be reused if an appropriate one is not available.

      Tech Tips

      Ensure that sufficient refrigerant is available to recharge the system when using a refrigerant recovery unit. Refrigerant recovery units are not always able to recover 100% of the refrigerant from an A/C system.

  18. ADD COOLANT (for Inverter)

    Note


    • Do not reuse the drained coolant because it may contain foreign objects.

    • If the vehicle is driven with air in the inverter cooling system, damage may occur and the following DTCs may be set.

    1. A01JBCU

      Slowly pour coolant into the reserve tank until it reaches the F line.

      Coolant quantity
      2.1 liters (2.2 US qts, 1.8 Imp. qts.)
    2. When using the intelligent tester:


      1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

      2. Turn the power switch on (IG).

      3. On the intelligent tester, enter the following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Active Test / Activate the Water Pump.

      4. Keep the coolant at the F line in the reserve tank to compensate for the drop in coolant level when the air bleeds.

        Standard
        Air bleeding from the inverter cooling system is completed when the noise made by the water pump becomes smaller and the circulation of coolant in the reserve tank improves.

        Tech Tips

        Loud noise made by the water pump and poor circulation of coolant in the reserve tank indicates that there is air in the cooling system.

    3. When not using the intelligent tester:


      1. Turn the power switch on (READY). [*1]

      2. Turn the power switch off and add coolant to the F line because the coolant level drops as the air bleeds. [*2]

        Note


        • Be sure to turn the power switch off before adding SLLC.

        • Do not work on the components in the engine compartment while the vehicle is in the READY-on state because the engine is in intermittent operation.

      3. Repeat steps [*1] and [*2] until air bleeding from the cooling system is completed.

        Standard
        Air bleeding from the inverter cooling system is completed when the noise made by the water pump becomes smaller and the circulation of coolant in the reserve tank improves.

        Tech Tips

        Loud noise made by the water pump and poor circulation of coolant in the reserve tank indicates that there is air in the cooling system.

    4. After the air is completely bled from the cooling system, tighten the reserve tank cap.

    5. A01JBCU

      Add coolant to the F line of the reserve tank.

  19. WARM UP COMPRESSOR


    1. Keep the A/C switch on for at least 2 minutes to warm up the compressor.

      Note

      Be sure to warm up the compressor when turning the A/C on after removing and installing the cooler refrigerant lines (including the compressor), to prevent damage to the compressor.

  20. INSPECT FOR REFRIGERANT LEAK


    1. After recharging with refrigerant, inspect for refrigerant leaks using a halogen leak detector.

    2. Carry out the test under the following conditions:


      • Turn the power switch off.

      • Secure good ventilation (the halogen leak detector may react to volatile gases which are not refrigerant, such as evaporated gasoline and exhaust gas).

      • Repeat the test 2 or 3 times.

      • Make sure that there is some refrigerant remaining in the refrigeration system.

        When the compressor is off: approx. 392 to 588 kPa (3.9 to 5.9 kgf/cm2, 57 to 85 psi)

      Text in Illustration
      *1 Halogen Leak Detector
      *2 Drain Hose

      Bring the halogen leak detector close to the drain hose with the detector's power off, and then turn the detector on.

      Tech Tips


      • After the blower motor has stopped, let the cooling unit stand for more than 15 minutes.

      • Bring the halogen leak detector sensor under the drain hose.

      • When bringing the halogen leak detector close to the drain hose, make sure that the halogen leak detector does not react to volatile gases. If it is not possible to avoid interference from volatile gases, the vehicle should be lifted up to allow testing.

    5. If a refrigerant leak is not detected from the drain hose, remove the blower motor control from the cooling unit. Insert the halogen leak detector sensor into the unit and perform the test.

    6. Disconnect the pressure switch connector and leave it for approximately 20 minutes. Bring the halogen leak detector close to the pressure switch and perform the test.

  21. INSPECT FOR COOLANT LEAK (for Inverter)


    1. Remove the reserve tank cap.

      CAUTION:

      To avoid the danger of being burned, do not remove the reserve tank cap while the coolant for the inverter is still hot.

    2. A01JCGT

      Install the radiator cap tester.

    3. Pump the radiator cap tester to 122 kPa (1.2 kgf/ cm2, 17.7 psi), and then check that the pressure does not drop.

      Tech Tips

      If the pressure drops, check the hoses, radiator, water pump, inverter with converter, and hybrid vehicle transaxle assembly for leaks.

    4. Reinstall the reserve tank cap.

        Note


        • Turn the cruise control main switch on before pressing "Next".

        • Make sure there is at least 20 cm (7.87 in.) between the radar sensor and any nearby individuals.

      9. Check the following items on the laser cruise divergence data screen.

        Note

        While using the intelligent tester's beam axis adjustment mode, the actual direction and angle of the radar sensor may be different from the intelligent tester's data. In such a case, the deviation is displayed on the combination meter's multi-information display.


        1. Confirm that the distance value is approximately 5 m (16.4 ft.).

          Tech Tips


          • A value between 0.0 m (0.0 ft.) and 6.3 m (20.7 ft.) should be indicated.

          • If the distance is 0.0 m (0.0 ft.), the sensor cannot detect the target. Reconfirm that there is no metal in the specified area in front of the vehicle (refer to the Notice at the beginning of this adjustment procedure).

        2. Confirm that the left/right side value is between 0.0 m (0.0 ft.) and 6.3 m (20.7 ft.).

          Tech Tips

          If the distance is 0.0 m (0.0 ft.), the sensor cannot detect the target. Reconfirm that there is no metal in the specified area in front of the vehicle (refer to the Notice at the beginning of this adjustment procedure).

    6. Check and adjust the horizontal direction of the radar sensor.


      1. Check that the divergence of the radar beam axis is 0°.

        Horizontal adjustment Right direction: Turn bolt B to positive (+) side. For every 2.5 rotations of adjustment bolt, sensor moves about 1°
        Left direction: Turn bolt B to negative (-) side.

        Tech Tips


        • If "LEFT SIDE: 1.0°" is displayed, the divergence is 1.0° in the left direction. Turn the bolt B approximately 2.5 turns to the negative (-) side.

        • If the value does not change to 0°, it is possible that the sensor is aiming at something different. Reconfirm that there are no reflective materials in the surrounding area.

      3. Select "Next". The driving learning value is automatically reset.

        Tech Tips

        A buzzer will sound for 10 seconds or more.
