INSTALL COOLER CONDENSER ASSEMBLY
Install the cooler condenser assembly as shown in the illustration.
Note
Due to the potential of damaging the brackets, do not allow the brackets to touch the vehicle body etc. while installing the condenser.
Do not allow the condenser to contact the vehicle body or radiator while installing the condenser.
Tech Tips
If the condenser is replaced with a new one, add compressor oil to the new condenser.

CHARGE WITH REFRIGERANT
Perform vacuum purging using a vacuum pump.
Charge with refrigerant HFC-134a (R134a).
| Standard (for Suction Pipe Separate Type) |
|---|
| 450 to 550 g (15.9 to 19.4 oz.) |
| Standard (except Suction Pipe Separate Type) |
|---|
| 500 to 600 g (17.6 to 21.2 oz.) |
Note
Do not turn the A/C switch on before charging with refrigerant. Doing so will cause the compressor to work without refrigerant, resulting in overheating of the compressor.
Approximately 100 g (3.5 oz.) of refrigerant may need to be charged after bubbles disappear. The refrigerant amount should be checked by quantity, not with the sight glass.
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.
WARM UP ENGINE
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 switch on after removing and installing the cooler refrigerant lines (including the compressor), to prevent damage to the compressor.
INSPECT FOR REFRIGERANT LEAK
After recharging with refrigerant, inspect for refrigerant leaks using a halogen leak detector.
Carry out the test under the following conditions:
Turn the engine 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 (4 to 6 kgf/cm2, 57 to 85 psi)
| *1 | Inspect for Leak |
| *2 | Halogen Leak Detector |
Using a halogen leak detector, inspect for refrigerant leaks from the refrigerant lines.
| *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.
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.
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.
