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. INSPECT FOR REFRIGERANT LEAK

a. After recharging with refrigerant gas, inspect for refrigerant leak gas using a halogen leak detector.
b. Carry out the test under the following conditions:

-

IG OFF

-

Secure good ventilation (the gas 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/sq.cm, 57 to 85 psi)
