Refrigerant: Service and Repair

REPLACEMENT 

1. DISCHARGE REFRIGERANT FROM REFRIGERATION SYSTEM

a. Start up the engine.
b. A/C switch is 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. Using SST, discharge the refrigerant gas.

SST 07110-58060 (07117-58080, 07117-58090, 07117-78050, 07117-88060, 07117-88070, 07117-88080)

2. CHARGE REFRIGERANT

a. Perform vacuum purging using a vacuum pump.
b. Charge refrigerant HFC-134a (R134a).  

Standard: 550 ± 50 g (19.39 ± 1.76 oz.) 

SST 07110-58060 (07117-58060, 07117-58070, 07117-58080, 07117-58090, 07117-78050, 07117-88060, 07117-88070, 07117-88080)

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

3. WARM UP ENGINE

a. Warm up the engine at less than 2,000 rpm for 2 minutes or more after charging the refrigerant.

4. CHECK FOR LEAKAGE OF REFRIGERANT

a. After recharging the refrigerant gas, check for refrigerant gas leakage using a halogen leak detector.
b. Perform the operation under these conditions:

-

Stop the engine.

-

Secure good ventilation (the gas leak detector may react to volatile gases other than refrigerant, such as evaporated gasoline or exhaust
gas).

-

Repeat the test 2 or 3 times. 

-

Make sure that some refrigerant remains in the refrigeration system. When compressor is off: approximately 392 to 588 kPa (4 to 6
kgf.sq.cm, 57 to 85 psi)
