ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
PROCEDURE
1. INSPECT REFRIGERANT PRESSURE
(a) This method uses a refrigerant recovery unit set to locate problem areas. Read the refrigerant pressure when the test conditions are established.
Test conditions:
Gauge readings (Reference):

Pressure on high-pressure side |
(1) Normally functioning refrigeration system. Gauge Reading:
|
|
(2) The A/C system periodically changes between normal and improper function due to moisture in the refrigerant system.

Symptom |
Probable Cause |
Diagnosis |
Corrective Action |
---|---|---|---|
During operation, pressure on low pressure side cycles between normal and vacuum |
Moisture in refrigeration system freezes at expansion valve orifice, causing temporary stop of cycle. However, when melted, normal state is restored. |
|
|
(3) The A/C system does not function effectively due to insufficient refrigerant.

---|---|---|---|
|
Gas leakage from refrigeration system |

|
(4) The A/C system does not function effectively due to poor circulation of the refrigerant.

Symptom |
Probable Cause |
Diagnosis |
Corrective Action |
---|---|---|---|
|
Refrigerant flow obstructed by dirt in condenser |
Condenser clogged |
Replace condenser |
(5) The A/C system does not function or functions intermittently because the refrigerant does not circulate.

Symptom |
Probable Cause |
Diagnosis |
Corrective Action |
---|---|---|---|
|
|
Refrigerant does not circulate |
|
(6) The A/C system does not function effectively due to the system being overcharged with refrigerant or insufficient cooling of the condenser.

High Pressure Side |
Symptom |
Probable Cause |
Diagnosis |
Corrective Action |
---|---|---|---|
Pressure extremely high on both low and high-pressure sides |
|
|
|
(7) The A/C system does not function due to air in the refrigeration system.
CAUTION:
The low-pressure piping may be very hot and cause serious burns.
NOTICE:
These gauge indications occur when the refrigeration system opens and the system is charged with refrigerant without vacuum purging.

PROCEDURE
1. INSTALL WATER INLET WITH THERMOSTAT SUB-ASSEMBLY
(a) Install a new gasket to the water inlet with thermostat sub-assembly.
(b) Install the water inlet with thermostat sub-assembly to the timing chain

High Power Supply Voltage Malfunction (C1417)
DESCRIPTION
If a malfunction is detected in the power supply circuit, the skid control ECU
(brake actuator assembly) stores this DTC and the fail-safe function prohibits ABS
operation.
This DTC is stored when the +BS terminal voltage deviates from the DTC detection
condition due to a malfunc ...
