Removal of Manifold Gauge Set
WARNING
!
High pressure side is under high pressure.
Therefore, be careful not to get injured
especially on your eyes and skin.
For the A/C system charged with the specified amount of
refrigerant, remove manifold gauge set as follows:
1) Close low pressure side valve of manifold gauge set.
(The high pressure side valve is closed continuously
during the process of charging.)
2) Close refrigerant container valve.
3) Stop engine.
4) Using shop rag, remove charging hoses from service
valves. This operation must be performed quickly.
5) Put caps on service valves.
Check A/C System for Refrigerant Leaks
Whenever a refrigerant leak is suspected in the system
or any service operation has been performed which may
result in malfunction of lines and connections, it is
advisable to check for leaks.
Common sense should be used during refrigerant leak
test, since the need and extent of any such test will, in
general, depend upon the nature of a complaint and the
type of a service performed on the system.
Liquid leak detector
WARNING
!
• To prevent explosions and fires, make sure
that there are no flammables in the vicinity.
• When the refrigerant exposed to fire, it
turns into a poisonous gas (phosgene). Do
not inhale this gas.
There is a number of fittings and places throughout the
A/C system where a liquid leak detector solution may be
used to pinpoint refrigerant leaks.
By merely applying the solution to the area in question
with a swab, such as attached to the cap of a vial,
bubbles will form within seconds if there is a leak.
For confined areas, such as sections of the evaporator
and condenser, an electronic (refrigerant) leak detector
is more practical for determining leaks.

Condenser Assembly On-Vehicle Inspection
Check the followings.
• Clog of condenser fins
If any clog is found, condenser fins should be washed
with water and should be dried with compressed air.
• Condenser fins for leakage and breakage
If any defects are found, repair or replace condenser.
• Condenser fittings for leakage.
If any defects are found, repair or replace condenser.
Condenser Assembly Removal and Installation
CAUTION
!
Do not damage condenser fins. If condenser
fin is bent, straighten it by using flat head
screwdriver or pair of pliers.
Removal
1) Recover refrigerant from A/C system referring to
"Operation Procedure for Refrigerant Charge".
NOTE
The amount of removed compressor oil must
be measured for replenishing compressor
oil.
2) Remove front bumper referring to "Front Bumper
and Rear Bumper Components in Section 9K".
3) Disconnect discharge hose (1) and liquid pipe (2)
from condenser assembly (3).
4) Remove condenser assembly mounting bolts (4).
