General Refrigerant Precautions (Cont’d)
I Do not store or heat refrigerant containers above 52°C (125°F).
I Do not heat a refrigerant container with an open flame; if container warming is required, place the
bottom of the container in a warm pail of water.
I Do not intentionally drop, puncture, or incinerate refrigerant containers.
I Keep refrigerant away from open flames: poisonous gas will be produced if refrigerant burns.
I Refrigerant will displace oxygen, therefore be certain to work in well ventilated areas to prevent
suffocation.
I Do not pressure test or leak test HFC-134a (R-134a) service equipment and/or vehicle air condi-
tioning systems with compressed air during repair. Some mixtures of air and R-134a have been
shown to be combustible at elevated pressures. These mixtures, if ignited, may cause injury or
property damage. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant manu-
facturers.
Precautions for Refrigerant Connection NJHA0004
A new type refrigerant connection has been introduced to all refrigerant lines except the following location.
I Expansion valve to cooling unit
FEATURES OF NEW TYPE REFRIGERANT CONNECTION NJHA0004S01
I The O-ring has been relocated. It has also been provided with a groove for proper installation. This elimi-
nates the chance of the O-ring being caught in, or damaged by, the mating part. The sealing direction of
the O-ring is now set vertically in relation to the contacting surface of the mating part to improve sealing
characteristics.
I The reaction force of the O-ring will not occur in the direction that causes the joint to pull out, thereby
facilitating piping connections.

VACUUM PUMP NJHA0006S03
The lubricant contained inside the vacuum pump is not compatible
with the specified lubricant for HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C systems. GI
The vent side of the vacuum pump is exposed to atmospheric
pressure. So the vacuum pump lubricant may migrate out of the
pump into the service hose. This is possible when the pump is MA
switched off after evacuation (vacuuming) and hose is connected
to it.
To prevent this migration, use a manual valve placed near the EM
hose-to-pump connection, as follows.
I Usually vacuum pumps have a manual isolator valve as part
of the pump. Close this valve to isolate the service hose from LC
the pump.
I For pumps without an isolator, use a hose equipped with a EC
manual shut-off valve near the pump end. Close the valve to
isolate the hose from the pump.
I If the hose has an automatic shut off valve, disconnect the FE
hose from the pump. As long as the hose is connected, the
valve is open and lubricating oil may migrate.
Some one-way valves open when vacuum is applied and close CL
under a no vacuum condition. Such valves may restrict the pump’s
ability to pull a deep vacuum and are not recommended.

REFRIGERATION CYCLE NJHA0010
Refrigerant Flow NJHA0010S01
The refrigerant flows in the standard pattern, that is, through the compressor, the condenser, the liquid tank,
through the evaporator, and back to the compressor. The refrigerant evaporation through the evaporator coil
is controlled by an externally equalized expansion valve, located inside the heater & cooling unit.
Freeze Protection NJHA0010S02
The compressor cycles go on and off to maintain the evaporator temperature within a specified range. When
the evaporator coil temperature falls below a specified point, the thermo control amplifier interrupts the com-
pressor operation. When the evaporator coil temperature rises above the specification, the thermo control
amplifier allows compressor operation.
Refrigerant System Protection NJHA0010S03
Refrigerant Pressure Sensor NJHA0010S0303
The refrigerant system is protected against excessively high or low pressures by the refrigerant pressure
sensor, located on the liquid tank. If the system pressure rises above, or falls below the specifications, the
refrigerant pressure sensor detects the pressure inside the refrigerant line and sends the voltage signal to the
ECM. ECM makes the A/C relay go OFF and stops the compressor when pressure on the high pressure side
detected by refrigerant pressure sensor is over about 2,746 kPa (27.5 bar, 28 kg/cm2, 398 psi) or below about
177 kPa (1.77 bar, 1.8 kg/cm2, 26 psi).
Pressure Relief Valve NJHA0010S0302
The refrigerant system is also protected by a pressure relief valve, located in the rear head of the compres-
sor. When the pressure of refrigerant in the system increases to an abnormal level [more than 3,727 kPa (37.3
bar, 38 kg/cm2, 540 psi)], the release port on the pressure relief valve automatically opens and releases
refrigerant into the atmosphere.

Introduction
Introduction NJHA0013
AIR CONDITIONER LAN SYSTEM OVERVIEW CONTROL SYSTEM NJHA0013S01
The LAN system consists of auto amp., mode door motor, air mix door motor and intake door motor.
A configuration of these components is shown in the diagram below.
RHA439G
Features NJHA0014
SYSTEM CONSTRUCTION (LAN) NJHA0014S08
A small network is constructed between the auto amplifier, mode door motor, air mix door motor and intake
door motor. The auto amplifier and motors are connected by data transmission lines and motor power supply
lines. The LAN network is built through the ground circuits of the three motors.
Addresses, motor opening angle signals, motor stop signals and error checking messages are all transmitted
through the data transmission lines connecting the auto amplifier and two motors.
The following functions are contained in LCUs built into the mode door motor, air mix door motor and intake
door motor.
I Address
I Motor opening angle signals
I Data transmission
I Motor stop and drive decision
I Opening angle sensor (PBR function)
I Comparison
I Decision (Auto amplifier indicated value and motor opening angle comparison)
RHA350H
Operation NJHA0014S0801
The auto amplifier receives data from each of the sensors. The amplifier sends mode door motor, air mix door
motor and intake door motor opening angle data to the mode door motor LCU, air mix door motor LCU and
intake door motor LCU.
The mode door motor, air mix door motor and intake door motor read their respective signals according to the
address signal. Opening angle indication signals received from the auto amplifier and each of the motor posi-
tion sensors are compared by the LCUs in each motor with the existing decision and opening angles.
Subsequently, HOT/COLD or DEFROST/VENT operation is selected. The new selection data is returned to
the auto amplifier.

Transmission Data and Transmission Order NJHA0014S0802
Amplifier data is transmitted consecutively to each of the door motors following the form shown in figure below. EC
Start: Initial compulsory signal sent to each of the door motors.
Address: Data sent from the auto amplifier is selected according to data-based decisions made by the mode
door motor, air mix door motor and intake door motor. FE
If the addresses are identical, the opening angle data and error check signals are received by the door motor
LCUs. The LCUs then make the appropriate error decision. If the opening angle data is normal, door control
begins. CL
If an error exists, the received data is rejected and corrected data received. Finally, door control is based upon
the corrected opening angle data.
Opening angle: Data that shows the indicated door opening angle of each door motor. MT
Error check: Procedure by which sent and received data is checked for errors. Error data is then compiled.
The error check prevents corrupted data from being used by the mode door motor, air mix door motor and
intake door motor. Error data can be related to the following problems. AT
I Abnormal electrical frequency
I Poor electrical connections
AX
I Signal leakage from transmission lines
I Signal level fluctuation
Stop signal: At the end of each transmission, a stop operation, in-operation, or internal problem message is SU
delivered to the auto amplifier. This completes one data transmission and control cycle.

3) In-vehicle sensor
4) Ambient sensor
5) Sunload sensor
6) Intake sensor
System Operation NJHA0059S02
The auto amplifier receives data from each of the sensors. The amplifier sends mode door, air mix door and
intake door opening angle data to the mode door motor LCU, air mix door motor LCU and intake door motor
LCU.
The mode door motor, air mix door motor and intake door motor read their respective signals according to the
address signal. Opening angle indication signals received from the auto amplifier and each of the motor posi-
tion sensors are compared by the LCUs in each motor with the existing decision and opening angles.
Subsequently, HOT/COLD or DEFROST/VENT operation is selected. The new selection data is returned to
the auto amplifier.

Ambient Sensor Circuit (Cont’d)
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE INPUT PROCESS NJHA0040
The automatic amplifier includes a “processing circuit” for the ambi-
ent sensor input. However, when the temperature detected by the GI
ambient sensor increases quickly, the processing circuit retards the
auto amp. function. It only allows the auto amp. to recognize an
ambient temperature increase of 0.33°C (0.6°F) per 100 seconds. MA
As an example, consider stopping for a cup of coffee after high
speed driving. Although the actual ambient temperature has not
changed, the temperature detected by the ambient sensor will EM
increase. This is because the heat from the engine compartment
can radiate to the front grille area, location of the ambient sensor.

Sunload Sensor Circuit
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION NJHA0046
EC
The sunload sensor is located on the assist side defroster grille. It
detects sunload entering through windshield by means of a photo
diode. The sensor converts the sunload into a current value which FE
is then input into the auto amplifier.
CL
RHA655H
MT
SUNLOAD INPUT PROCESS NJHA0047
The auto amp. also includes a processing circuit which “average” AT
the variations in detected sunload over a period of time. This pre-
vents drastic swings in the ATC system operation due to small or
quick variations in detected sunload. AX
For example, consider driving along a road bordered by an occa-
sional group of large trees. The sunload detected by the sunload
sensor will vary whenever the trees obstruct the sunlight. The pro- SU
cessing circuit averages the detected sunload over a period of
time, so that the (insignificant) effect of the trees momentarily
obstructing the sunlight does not cause any change in the ATC BR
system operation. On the other hand, shortly after entering a long
tunnel, the system will recognize the change in sunload, and the
system will react accordingly. ST

specification, recover/evacuate and recharge the system with
the specified amount of refrigerant.
AT
NOTE:
At temperatures below 16°C (61°F), leaks may not be detected
since the system may not reach 345.2 kPa (3.45 bar, 3.52 kg/cm2, AX
50.1 psi).
4. Conduct the leak test from the high side (compressor dis-
charge a to evaporator inlet g) to the low side (evaporator drain SU
hose h to shaft seal k). Refer to HA-103. Perform a leak check
for the following areas carefully. Clean the component to be
checked and move the leak detector probe completely around BR
the connection/component.

I Do not store or heat refrigerant containers above 52°C (125°F).
I Do not heat a refrigerant container with an open flame; if container warming is required, place the
bottom of the container in a warm pail of water.
I Do not intentionally drop, puncture, or incinerate refrigerant containers.
I Keep refrigerant away from open flames: poisonous gas will be produced if refrigerant burns.
I Refrigerant will displace oxygen, therefore be certain to work in well ventilated areas to prevent
suffocation.
I Do not pressure test or leak test HFC-134a (R-134a) service equipment and/or vehicle air condi-
tioning systems with compressed air during repair. Some mixtures of air and R-134a have been
shown to be combustible at elevated pressures. These mixtures, if ignited, may cause injury or

VACUUM PUMP NJHA0117S03
The lubricant contained inside the vacuum pump is not compatible EC
with the specified lubricant for HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C systems.
The vent side of the vacuum pump is exposed to atmospheric
pressure. So the vacuum pump lubricant may migrate out of the FE
pump into the service hose. This is possible when the pump is
switched off after evacuation (vacuuming) and hose is connected
to it. CL
To prevent this migration, use a manual valve situated near the
hose-to-pump connection, as follows.
I Usually vacuum pumps have a manual isolator valve as part MT
of the pump. Close this valve to isolate the service hose from
the pump.
I For pumps without an isolator, use a hose equipped with a AT
manual shut-off valve near the pump end. Close the valve to
isolate the hose from the pump.
I If the hose has an automatic shut off valve, disconnect the AX
hose from the pump: as long as the hose is connected, the
valve is open and lubricating oil may migrate.
SU
Some one-way valves open when vacuum is applied and close
under a no vacuum condition. Such valves may restrict the pump’s
ability to pull a deep vacuum and are not recommended. BR

Refrigeration System
REFRIGERATION CYCLE NJHA0121
Refrigerant Flow NJHA0121S01
The refrigerant flows in the standard pattern, that is, through the compressor, the condenser, the liquid tank,
through the evaporator, and back to the compressor. The refrigerant evaporation through the evaporator coil
is controlled by an externally equalized expansion valve, located inside the heater & cooling unit.
Freeze Protection NJHA0121S02
The compressor cycles go on and off to maintain the evaporator temperature within a specified range. When
the evaporator coil temperature falls below a specified point, the thermo control amplifier interrupts the com-
pressor operation. When the evaporator coil temperature rises above the specification, the thermo control
amplifier allows compressor operation.

The refrigerant system is protected against excessively high or low pressures by the refrigerant pressure
sensor, located on the liquid tank. If the system pressure rises above, or falls below the specifications, the
refrigerant pressure sensor detects the pressure inside the refrigerant line and sends the voltage signal to the
ECM. ECM makes the A/C relay go OFF and stops the compressor when pressure on the high pressure side
detected by refrigerant pressure sensor is over about 2,746 kPa (27.5 bar, 28 kg/cm2, 398 psi) or below about
137 kPa (1.37 bar, 1.4 kg/cm2, 20 psi).
Dual-pressure Switch NJHA0121S0304
The refrigerant system is protected against excessively high or low pressures by the dual-pressure switch,
located on the liquid tank. If the pressure falls out of specifications, the switch opens to interrupt compressor
operation.
Pressure Relief Valve NJHA0121S0302
The refrigerant system is also protected by a pressure relief valve, located in the rear head of the compres-
sor. When the pressure of refrigerant in the system increases to an abnormal level [more than 3,727 kPa (37.3
bar, 38 kg/cm2, 540 psi)], the release port on the pressure relief valve automatically opens and releases
refrigerant into the atmosphere.

CSV613 Variable Displacement Compressor (Cont’d)
DESCRIPTION =NJHA0207
General NJHA0207S01
The variable compressor is basically a swash plate type that changes piston stroke in response to the required
cooling capacity.
The tilt of the swash plate allows the piston’s stroke to change so that refrigerant discharge can be continu-
ously changed from 6.0 to 125 cm3 (0.366 to 7.628 cu in).
RHA854HA
HA-122
DESCRIPTION MANUAL
CSV613 Variable Displacement Compressor (Cont’d)
Operation =NJHA0207S02
1. Operation Control Valve NJHA0207S0201
Operation control valve is located in the suction port (low-pressure) side, and opens or closes in response to GI
changes in refrigerant suction pressure.
Operation of the valve controls the internal pressure of the crankcase.
The angle of the swash plate is controlled between the crankcase’s internal pressure and the piston cylinder MA
pressure.
2. Maximum Cooling NJHA0207S0202 EM
Refrigerant pressure on the low-pressure side increases with an increase in heat loads.
When this occurs, the control valve’s bellows compress to open the low-pressure side valve and close the
high-pressure side valve. LC
This causes the following pressure changes:
I the crankcase’s internal pressure to equal the pressure on the low-pressure side;
I the cylinder’s internal pressure to be greater than the crankcase’s internal pressure. EC
Under this condition, the swash plate is set to the maximum stroke position.

3. Capacity Control =NJHA0207S0203
I Refrigerant pressure on suction side is low during high speed driving or when ambient or interior tempera-
ture is low.
I The bellows expands when refrigerant pressure on the suction pressure side drops below approximately
177 kPa (1.77 bar, 1.8 kg/cm2, 26 psi).
Since suction pressure is low, it makes the suction port close and the discharge port open. Thus, crank-
case pressure becomes high as high pressure enters the crankcase.
I The force acts around the journal pin near the swash plate, and is generated by the pressure difference
before and behind the piston.
The drive lug and journal pin are located where the piston generates the highest pressure. Piston pres-
sure is between suction pressure Ps and discharge pressure Pd, which is near suction pressure Ps. If
crankcase pressure Pc rises due to capacity control, the force around the journal pin makes the swash
plate angle decrease and also the piston stroke decrease. In other words, crankcase pressure increase
triggers pressure difference between the piston and the crankcase. The pressure difference changes the
angle of the swash plate.

Checking Procedure NJHA0168S03
To prevent inaccurate or false readings, make sure there is no EC
refrigerant vapor, shop chemicals, or cigarette smoke in the
vicinity of the vehicle. Perform the leak test in calm area (low
air/wind movement) so that the leaking refrigerant is not dis- FE
persed.
1. Turn engine off.
2. Connect a suitable A/C manifold gauge set to the A/C service CL
ports.
3. Check if the A/C refrigerant pressure is at least 345.2 kPa (3.45
bar, 3.52 kg/cm2, 50.1 psi) above 16°C (61°F). If less than MT
specification, recover/evacuate and recharge the system with
the specified amount of refrigerant.
AT
NOTE:
At temperatures below 16°C (61°F), leaks may not be detected
since the system may not reach 345.2 kPa (3.45 bar, 3.52 kg/cm2, AX
50.1 psi).
4. Conduct the leak test from the high side (compressor dis-
charge a to evaporator inlet g) to the low side (evaporator drain SU
hose h to shaft seal k). Refer to HA-220. Perform a leak check
for the following areas carefully. Clean the component to be
checked and move the leak detector probe completely around BR
the connection/component.
I Compressor
Check the fitting of high and low pressure hoses, relief valve ST
and shaft seal.
I Liquid tank
Check the pressure switch, refrigerant pressure sensor, tube RS
fitting, weld seams and the fusible plug mount.
I Service valves BT
Check all around the service valves. Ensure service valve caps
are secured on the service valves (to prevent leaks).
NOTE:
After removing A/C manifold gauge set from service valves, wipe
any residue from valves to prevent any false readings by leak
detector. SC
I Cooling unit (Evaporator)
With engine OFF, turn blower fan on “High” for at least 15
seconds to dissipate any refrigerant trace in the cooling unit. EL
Wait a minimum of 10 minutes accumulation time (refer to the
manufacturer’s recommended procedure for actual wait time)
before inserting the leak detector probe into the drain hose. IDX
Keep the probe inserted for at least ten seconds. Use caution
not to contaminate the ptobe tip with water or dirt that may be
in the drain hose.

5. If a leak detector detects a leak, verify at least once by blow-
ing compressed air into area of suspected leak, then repeat
check as outlined above.
6. Do not stop when one leak is found. Continue to check for
additional leaks at all system components.
If no leaks are found, perform steps 7 - 10.
7. Start engine.
8. Set the heater A/C control as follows:
1) A/C switch ON.
2) Face mode
3) Recirculation position
4) Max cold temperature
5) Fan speed high
9. Run engine at 1,500 rpm for at least 2 minutes.
