AIR CONDITIONER
HEATER & AIR CONDITIONER SYSTEM (FOR AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM)
FUNCTION INSPECTION
1. Check of cooling performance
(1) Install the air conditioner tool set to the vehicle.
(3) Place a wet-and-dry-bulb thermometer (necessary for humidity) at the inlet opening and measure the temperature by inserting the bulb of the dry thermometer at the center of the outlet opening.
(4) Operate the air conditioner under the conditions in [*1] to make the outlet opening temperature stable. (About 5 to 6 minutes)
(5) Measure the dry and wet bulb temperatures at the inlet opening and the temperature at the outlet opening.
2. Check of refrigerant gas pressure
(1) Check of refrigerant gas pressure with gauge

(a) Attach the air conditioner tool set.
(c) Check the gauge value in [*2].
1. At normal condition
Standard value :  0.13 to 0.20 MPa (1.3 to 2.0 kgf/cm2) (Low pressure side) :  1.47 to 1.67 MPa (15 to 17 kgf/cm2) (High pressure side)

NOTE:
The illustration indicates the gauge at normal charge level of refrigerant gas.
2. In malfunction
·Example: During operation of the air conditioner, the pressure at the low pressure side becomes vacuum or normal.
Measurement result
Symptoms
It becomes cold or not cold cyclically.
Cause
Moisture in the cooling system is frozen at the cooler expansion valve. The refrigerant does not circulate temporarily. After ice is melted, normal operation is recovered.
Diagnosis
·The cooler drier is over-saturated.
·Moisture of the cooling system is frozen at the expansion valve and it blocks circulation of the refrigerant gas.
Corrective action
·Replace the cooler dryer.
·Remove moisture in the cycle by repeating air release.
·Inject appropriate level of new refrigerant gas.

Low pressure side
*b
High pressure side
NOTE:
The illustration indicates the gauge condition of moisture inclusion in the cooling system.
·Example: Both high and low pressure sides are low.
Measurement result
Symptoms
·Poor cooling performance
·Cooling performance is not sufficient.
Cause
A part of the cooling system has gas leak.
Diagnosis
·Refrigerant gas is insufficient.
·Leak of refrigerant gas
Corrective action
·Check for gas leak. Repair it if necessary.
·Inject appropriate level of new refrigerant gas.
·If the pressure value is close to 0 when connected to the gauge, check for the leak area. After repair, perform vacuuming.

*b
High pressure side
NOTE:
The illustration indicates the gauge condition of poor cooling.
·Example: The pressures at both low and high pressure sides are low and the pipe connected from the cooler condenser ASSY to the air conditioner unit has condensation.
Measurement result
Symptoms
Poor cooling performance
Cause
Dust in the cooler condenser core blocks flow of refrigerant.
Diagnosis
Clogged cooler condenser core
Corrective action
Replace the cooler condenser ASSY.

*b
High pressure side
NOTE:
The illustration indicates the gauge condition of poor refrigerant gas performance.
·Example: Pressures at both low and high pressure sides are low and the pipe before and after the cooler condenser core and the cooler expansion valve has fogging or condensation.
Measurement result
Symptoms
Poor cooling (it may work in cases)
Cause
·Flow of the refrigerant gas is blocked by moisture or dust of the cooling system.
·Flow of the refrigerant gas is blocked by leak of the refrigerant gas from the cooler expansion valve.
Diagnosis
Refrigerant gas does not circulate.
Corrective action
·Check the cooler expansion valve.
·Remove dust in the cooler expansion valve with an air gun.
·Replace the cooler condenser ASSY.
·After vacuuming, inject new refrigerant gas to the appropriate level.
·If leak of the refrigerant gas from the cooler expansion valve is found, replace the cooler expansion valve.

Low pressure side
*b
High pressure side
NOTE:
The illustration indicates the gauge for no circulation of the refrigerant gas.
·Example: Both high and low pressure sides are too high.
Measurement result
Symptoms
Poor cooling performance
Cause
·Flow of the refrigerant gas is blocked by moisture or dust of the cooling system.
·Flow of the refrigerant gas is blocked by leak of the refrigerant gas from the cooler expansion valve.
Diagnosis
·Excessive refrigerant
·Cooling of the cooler condenser core is insufficient.
Corrective action
·Clean the cooler condenser core fin.
·Check operation of the cooling fan.
·Check the refrigerant level and inject the refrigerant to the appropriate level.
Captions in illustration
*a
Low pressure side
*b
High pressure side
NOTE:
The illustration indicates the gauge condition of excess refrigerant gas or insufficient cooling of the cooler condenser core.
·Example: Pressures at both low and high pressure sides are high and the low pressure pipe is too hot to be touched.
Measurement result
Symptoms
Air conditioner does not function.
Cause
Air inside the cooling system
Diagnosis
·Air is included inside the cooling system.
·Insufficient vacuuming
Corrective action
·Check if the compressor oil is contaminated or insufficient.
·After vacuuming, inject new refrigerant gas.
Captions in illustration

*b
High pressure side
NOTE:
·Caution: The gauge indicates a value when the cooling system is opened without vacuuming for injection of the refrigerant.
·The illustration indicates the gauge condition of air inclusion in the cooling system.
·Example: Pressures at both low and high pressure sides are high and the low pressure side has fogging or condensation.
Measurement result
Symptoms
Poor cooling performance
Cause
Problems on cooler expansion valve
Diagnosis
·Excessive refrigerant of low pressure pipe
·Excessive opening of cooler expansion valve
Corrective action
Replace the cooler expansion valve.

*b
High pressure side
NOTE:
The illustration indicates the gauge of improper cooler expansion valve.
·Example: Pressure at the low pressure side is high and pressure at the high pressure side is low.
Measurement result
Symptoms
Air conditioner does not function.
Cause
Compression leak in cooler compressor ASSY
Diagnosis
·Poor compression
·Leak from valve or damage to sliding part
Corrective action
Repair or replace the cooler compressor ASSY.

Low pressure side
*b
High pressure side
NOTE:
The illustration indicates the gauge of poor compression of the cooler compressor ASSY.
3. Cooler condenser ASSY
(1) If the cooler condenser ASSY fin is contaminated, clean it with water and dry it with compressor air.
CAUTION:
Do not damage the fin of the cooler condenser ASSY.
(2) If the fin of the cooler condenser ASSY is bent, correct the fin straight with a screwdriver or pliers.
4. Check for refrigerant gas leak
(1) Using a halogen leak detector, check the pipe joints for leaks.
(2) If gas leak is found at joints of pipes, check the torque at the joints.

DTCB1430/21 Room temperature sensor circuit wire break
DTCB1431/-21 Room temperature sensor circuit short-circuit
Circuit description
The cooler thermistor (in-vehicle sensor) is installed on the instrument panel. It is used to detect the passenger compartment temperature and to control “AUTO” of the heater & air conditioner. The resistance of the cooler thermistor (in-vehicle sensor) varies along with change of the passenger compartment temperature. When the passenger compartment temperature is low, the resistance is high. In contrast, when the passenger compartment temperature is high, the resistance is small. The air conditioner control ASSY gives voltage output (5 V) to the cooler thermistor (in-vehicle sensor), and reads variation of voltage along with resistance change of the cooler thermistor (in-vehicle sensor).
