Refrigerant: Service and Repair

AIR CONDITIONING: REFRIGERANT: REPLACEMENT

REPLACEMENT

1. DISCHARGE REFRIGERANT FROM REFRIGERATION SYSTEM

(a) Start up the engine.
(b) Turn the A/C switch ON.
(c) Operate the cooler compressor with an engine speed of approximately 1,000 rpm for 5 to 6 minutes to circulate the refrigerant and collect the

compressor oil remaining in each component into the cooler compressor.

(d) Stop the engine.
(e) Recover the refrigerant from the A/C system using a refrigerant recovery unit.

Standard:
for 2AR-FE:
450 +-30 g (15.9 +-1.1 oz.)
for 2GR-FE:
490 +-30 g (17.3 +-1.1 oz.)

NOTICE:
-

Do not operate the cooler compressor before charging refrigerant as the cooler compressor will not work properly without any refrigerant,
and will overheat.

-

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

3. WARM UP ENGINE

(a) Warm up the engine at less than 1,850 rpm for 2 minutes or more after charging the refrigerant.

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.

4. INSPECT FOR REFRIGERANT LEAK

(a) After recharging with refrigerant gas, inspect for refrigerant leak gas using a halogen leak detector.
