PRECAUTIONS
PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER”
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, are used to reduce
the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain types of collision. However, if they are not
used along with the seat belts, they may do more harm to the occupants. When servicing the system, remove and
isolate the battery’s negative cable, allowing the system’s capacitor to discharge for 15 seconds or more before
performing any diagnosis, test and removal/installation. If the above step is not carried out, the air bags may deploy
accidentally and result in a serious injury or death.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of this Service Manual.
WARNING:
 To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death in the
event of a collision, all maintenance must be performed by an authorized LUXGEN dealer.
 When serving, do not place an air bag which has not been deployed with its face direct on the table or on
a ground. This may activate the air bag unintentionally and the air bag may shot up to the air causing
serious injury or death. When carrying an air bag which has not been deployed, it is better to carry it with
its base facing your body (keep the face of the air bag away from your body) to reduce the risk. If this is
not followed, personal injury or death may result. Make sure the system operates properly before
reconnect the circuit.
 For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag Module, see the SRS section.
 Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this Service
Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or harness
connectors.
Precaution for Working with HFC-134a (R-134a)
WARNING:
 CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant are not compatible. If the refrigerants are
mixed compressor failure will occur. Refer to ATC-7, "Contaminated Refrigerant". To determine the purity
of HFC-134a (R-134a) in the vehicle and recovery tank, use refrigerant recovery/ recycling equipment
(J-39500-INF) and refrigerant identification device.
 Use only oil specified for the HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system and HFC-134a (R-134a) components. If oil
other than that specified is used, compressor failure will occur.
 The specified HFC-134a (R-134a) oil rapidly absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. The following
handling precautions must be observed:
- When removing refrigerant components from a vehicle, immediately cap (seal) the component to
minimize the entry of moisture from the atmosphere.
- When installing refrigerant components to a vehicle, do not remove the caps (unseal) until just before
connecting the components. Connect all refrigerant circuit components as quickly as possible to
minimize the entry of moisture into system.
- Only use the specified oil from a sealed container. Immediately reseal containers of oil. Without
proper sealing, oil will become moisture saturated and should not be used.
- Avoid breathing A/C refrigerant and oil vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and throat.
When removing HFC-134a (R-134a) from the A/C system, use certified HFC-134a (R-134a) recovery/
recycling equipment or HFC-134a (R-134a) recovery equipment. If accidental system discharge
occurs, ventilate work area before work is resumed. Additional health and safety information may be
obtained from refrigerant and oil manufacturers.
- Do not allow refrigerant oil (Type SP-10) to come in contact with polystyrene parts. Damage may
result.
ATC-6
PRECAUTIONS
Contaminated Refrigerant
If non-pure HFC-134a (R134a) is found in the refrigerant system, do the following:
 Explain to your customer that it is prohibited by law to release contaminated refrigerant into atmosphere.
 Explain that it may damage your refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment and refrigerant by recycling the
contaminated refrigerant.
 Suggest customer return to the original service shop where the refrigerant may have been contaminated for
service.
 If you choose to perform the repair, you can use only a dedicated equipment and container to recover the
refrigerant. Do not recover the contaminated refrigerant into your existing recovery/recycling equipment. If your
facility does not have the dedicated recovery equipment, you may contact a local refrigerant product retailer for
help. The contaminated refrigerant must be disposed of in accordance with local laws and regulations. In
addition, it is recommended that all refrigerant system components on that vehicle be replaced.
General Precautions of Handling with Refrigerant

WARNING:
 Do not release refrigerant into the air. Use approved recovery/recycling equipment to capture the
refrigerant every time an air conditioning system is discharged.
 Always wear eye and hand protection (goggles and gloves) when working with any refrigerant or air
conditioning system
 Do not store or heat refrigerant container above 52°C (125°F).
 Do not heat a refrigerant container with an open flame; if container warming is required, place the
container in warm water.
 Do not drop, damage, or burn refrigerant container.
 Keep refrigerant away from open flames: poisonous gas will be produced if refrigerant burns.
 Refrigerant will displace oxygen, therefore be certain to work in well ventilated areas to prevent
suffocation.
 Do not pressure test or leak test HFC-134a (R-134a) service equipment and/or vehicle air conditioning
systems with compressed air during repair. Air mixes with HFC-134a (R-134a) may become flammable
under higher pressure. If this mixture is ignited, injury or property damage may result. Detailed health and
safety information may be obtained from A/C system oil manufacturers.
Precaution for Leak Detection Dye

 With fluorescent leak detection dye in the A/C system refrigerant leaks can be located. An ultraviolet (UV) lamp
is required to illuminate the dye when inspecting for leaks.
 Always wear fluorescence enhancing UV safety glasses to protect your eyes and enhance the visibility of the
fluorescent dye.
 The fluorescent dye leak detector is not a substitute for an electronic refrigerant leak detector. The fluorescent
dye leak detector should be used in conjunction with an electronic refrigerant leak detector.
 For your safety and the customer's satisfaction, read and follow all manufacturer's operating instructions and
precautions prior to performing work.
 Do not try to repair a compressor shaft seal just because there is dye seepage. The compressor shaft seal
should only be repaired after confirming the leak with an electronic refrigerant leak detector.
 Always remove any dye from the leak area after repairs have been made to avoid a misdiagnosis during a future
service.
 Do not allow dye to come into contact with painted body panels or interior components. If dye is spilled, clean
immediately with an approved dye cleaner. Fluorescent dye left on a surface for an extended period of time
cannot be removed.
ATC-7
PRECAUTIONS
 Do not spray the fluorescent dye cleaning agent on hot surfaces (engine exhaust manifold, etc.).
 Do not use more than one refrigerant dye bottle for an A/C system.
 Do not use HFC-134a (R-134a) leak detection dye in CFC-12 (R-12) A/C systems or CFC-12 (R-12) leak
detection dye in HFC-134A (R-134a) A/C systems or A/C system damage may result because they are different.
CAUTION:
 Do not use fluorescent dye unless it is absolutely necessary. In this case, use a genuine approved one.

lower than atmospheric pressure. Then, loosen the discharge hose accessory gradually and remove it.
ATC-8
PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION:
When replacing or cleaning refrigerant cycle components, observe the following:
 When the compressor is removed, store it in the same position as it is when mounted on the car. Failure
to do so will cause oil to enter the low pressure chamber.
 Always use a torque wrench and a union wrench when connecting tubes.
 After disconnecting tubes, immediately plug all openings to prevent entry of dirt and moisture.
 When installing an air conditioner in the vehicle, connect the pipes as the final stage of the operation. Do
not remove the seal caps of pipes and other components until just before required for connection.
 Allow components stored in cool areas to warm to working area temperature before removing seal caps.
This prevents condensation from forming inside A/C components.
 Thoroughly remove moisture from the refrigeration system before charging the refrigerant.
 Always replace used O-rings.
 When connecting tube, apply oil to circle of the O-rings shown in illustration. Be careful not to apply oil to
threaded portion. Name of the A/C system oil: Type SP-10.
 O-ring must be closely attached to dented portion of tube.
 When replacing the O-ring, be careful not to damage O-ring and tube.
 Connect tube until you hear it click, then tighten the nut or bolt by hand until snug. Make sure that the
O-ring is installed to tube correctly.
 After connecting line, perform leak test and make sure that there is no leakage from connections. When
the gas leaking point is found, disconnect that line and replace the O-ring. Then tighten connections of
seal seat to the specified torque.

PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Compressor Service

 Plug all openings to prevent moisture and foreign matter from entering.
 When the compressor is removed, store it in the same position as it is when mounted on the car.
 When replacing or repairing compressor, follow “Maintenance of A/C Oil Quantity in Compressor” exactly. Refer
to ATC-14, “Maintenance of A/C Oil Quantity in Compressor”.
 Keep friction surfaces between clutch and pulley clean. If the surface is contaminated with oil, wipe it off by using
a clean waste cloth moistened with thinner.
 After compressor service operation, turn the compressor shaft by hand more than five turns in both directions.
This will equally distribute oil inside the compressor. After the compressor is installed, let the engine idle and
operate the compressor for one hour.
 After replacing the compressor magnet clutch, apply voltage to the new one and check for normal operation.
Precaution for Service Equipment

REFRIGERANT RECOVERY/RECYCLING EQUIPMENT
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for machine operation and machine maintenance. Never introduce any
refrigerant other than that specified into the machine.
ELECTRONIC LEAK DETECTOR

Follow the manufacturer's instructions for tester operation and tester maintenance.
ATC-10
PRECAUTIONS
VACUUM PUMP
The oil contained inside the vacuum pump is not compatible with the
specified oil for HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C systems. The vent side of the With isolator valve
vacuum pump is exposed to atmospheric pressure so the vacuum
pump oil may migrate out of the pump into the service hose. This is
possible when the pump is switched off after evacuation (vacuuming)
and hose is connected to it. To prevent this migration, use a manual
valve situated near the hose-to-pump connection, as shown in right Isolator
valve
diagram.
Open
 Usually vacuum pumps have a manual isolator valve as part of the

pump. Close this valve to isolate the service hose from the pump. Close
 For pumps without an isolator, use a hose equipped with a manual
shut-off valve near the pump end. Close the valve to isolate the Without isolator valve
hose from the pump. Shut off valve
 If the hose has an automatic shut off valve, disconnect the 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 under a
no vacuum condition. Such valves may restrict the pump's ability to pull
a deep vacuum and are not recommended.
MANIFOLD GAUGE SET

Be certain that the gauge face indicates HFC-134a (R-134a) or 134a.
Confirm the set has been used only with refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a)
along with specified oil only.
SERVICE HOSES
All hoses must include positive shut-off devices (either manual or
automatic) near the end of the hoses opposite the manifold gauge. Service hoses Shut off
valve
ATC-11
PRECAUTIONS
SERVICE COUPLERS
Never attempt to connect HFC-134a (R-134a) service couplers to a Shut-off valve
CFC-12 (R-12) A/C system. The HFC-134a (R-134a) couplers will not
properly connect to the CFC-12 (R-12) system. If an improper
connection is attempted, discharging and contamination may occur.
Shut-off valve rotation A/C service valve
Clockwise Open A/C service
Counterclockwise Close valve
CHARGING CYLINDER
Using a charging cylinder is not recommended. Refrigerant may be vented into air from cylinder's top valve when
filling the cylinder with refrigerant. Also, the accuracy of the cylinder is generally less than that of an electronic scale
or of quality recovery/recycling equipment.

NOTE: As for the relative information about the special service tool, refer to the tool manual in the service shop.
HFC-134a (R-134a) Service Tool and Equipment

Never mix HFC-134a refrigerant and/or its specified oil with CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and/or its oil.
Separate and non-interchangeable service equipment must be used for handling each type of refrigerant and oil.
Refrigerant container fittings, service hose fittings and service equipment fittings (equipment which handles
refrigerant and/or oil) are different between CFC-12 (R-12) and HFC-134a (R-134a). This is to avoid mixed use of
the refrigerants and oil.
Adapters that convert one size fitting to another must never be used. Otherwise, refrigerant and oil contamination
will occur and also compressor may damage.
ATC-13
AIR CONDITIONER (A/C) OIL

Maintenance of A/C Oil Quantity in Compressor
The oil in the compressor circulates through the system with the refrigerant. Add oil to the compressor when
replacing any component or after a large refrigerant leakage has occurred. It is important to maintain the oil in the
specified amount.
The following malfunctions may result if oil quantity is not maintained properly:
 Insufficient lubrication: May lead to a seized compressor
 Excessive A/C oil: Poor cooling performance (thermal exchange interference)

Automatic Air Conditioner System Description

BASIC DESCRIPTION
The front air control can provide vehicle's interior temperature automatic adjustment. The system will base on the
driver's and passenger's selected "set temperature" to control the cabin temperature, regardless of the ambient
temperature. Automatic adjustment is achieved by a computer which receives input signals from the following four
sensors to control the front A/C control:
 Ambient temperature sensor
 Cabin temperature sensor
 Air inlet temperature sensor
 Sun load sensor
The front A/C control uses these signals (includes the set temperature) to perform auto control:
 Vent air volume
 Vent air temperature
 Vent position
AUTO A/C MODE CONTROL DESCRIPTION

AIR MIX DOOR CONTROL
The air mix door will carry out automatic control of the air mix door basing on: the temperature setting, ambient
temperature, cabin temperature, evaporator temperature and amount of sun load to maintain the cabin temperature
at a predetermined value.
FAN SPEED CONTROL

Blower speed will carry out automatic control of fan speed basing on: temperature setting, ambient temperature,
cabin temperature, evaporator temperature, amount of sun load. When AUTO switch is pressed, the blower motor
starts to gradually increase air flow volume (if required).
AIR INLET DOOR CONTROL

The air inlet door will carry out automatic control of the air inlet door basing on: the temperature setting, ambient
temperature, cabin temperature, evaporator temperature, amount of sun load.
MODE DOOR CONTROL

The mode door will carry out automatic control of mode door basing on: the temperature setting, ambient
temperature, cabin temperature, evaporator temperature and amount of sun load.

REFRIGERANT SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

REFRIGERANT FLOW
The refrigerant will flow in the system under normal condition. It flows through compressor, condenser, receiver, and
the front and rear evaporators, and then back to the compressor. The refrigerant will be controlled by front and rear
expansion valves respectively when it passes through the evaporators.
DESCRIPTION OF AUTO A/C SYSTEM PRESSURE PROTECTION

REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR
The refrigerant system is protected by the refrigerant pressure sensor (located on receiver) to avoid the system
pressure becomes too high. If the system pressure is higher than specified pressure, the refrigerant pressure sensor
will detect the pressure in the refrigerant line and send a voltage signal to ECM. If ECM detected a pressure higher
than 2900 kPa (29.584 kg/cm2, 420.5 psi), or lower than 160 kPa (1.32 kg/cm2, 23.2 psi) in high pressure side of the
system, ECM will deactuate A/C relay, and disengage compressor clutch.
ATC-26
PRESSURE RELEASE VALVE

The refrigerant system is also protected by the pressure relief valve located on the compressor. When the refrigerant
pressure in the system is abnormally high [higher than 3510 ~ 4400 kPa (35.79 ~ 44.87 kg/cm2, 508.95 ~ 638 psi)],
the release hole of the pressure release valve will be opened and then the refrigerant will be released to
atmosphere.

In AUTO mode, the front A/C control controls the voltage value controlled by front blower power transistor
(Z-MOSFET) based on signals received from cabin temperature sensor, ambient temperature sensor, sun load
sensor and front air inlet temperature sensor as well as temperature set by the operator, so that front blower motor
speed will vary with different voltage values.
When increase speed is needed, the duty rate drive signal of the blower fan motor will change with a speed of
8%/sec, this is to prevent fan speed surge.
In addition to manual and general auto ATC air speed controls, there are also initial A/C air speed and low coolant
temperature start controls.
STARTING UNDER LOW COOLANT TEMPERATURE (AUTO MODE).

During cold start, if engine coolant temperature is lower than 55℃(131℉), the front blower will not operate for a
short period of time (Max. 150 sec.). The actual start delay depends on ambient temperature and engine coolant
temperature.
Under extreme condition (ambient temperature is very low), the blower start delay time will be 150 seconds as
mentioned above. When engine coolant temperature reaches 56℃(132.8℉) or after 150 seconds have elapsed, the
blower speed will increase to target blower speed.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
ECM will control the operation of compressor according to the activation signal of compressor from front A/C control.
LOW TEMPERATURE PROTECTION CONTROL

The front A/C control judges whether it should send a control signal to ECM based on the signal sent by front air inlet
temperature sensor; when ECM receives a control signal from front A/C control, ECM will control compressor. When
front evaporator temperature or ambient temperature is lower than -5℃, it will turn the compressor off.
PROTECTION CONTROL OF REFRIGERANT LINE PRESSURE

ECM also will “turn on” or “turn off” the compressor according to the refrigerant pressure signal from the refrigerant
pressure sensor.
When the line pressure on the high pressure side is higher than 2900 kPa (29.58 kg/cm2, 420.5 psi), the compressor
electromagnetic clutch will be disengaged.

driven in high speed, although the actual temperature remains
unchanged, but the temperature detected by ambient temperature
sensor is higher. This is because the heat from engine compartment

Sun Load Sensor Circuit

PART DESCRIPTION
The sun load sensor is located on the defogger vent on the left side of
instrument panel assembly and is composed of an optical diode to
detect sun-load from windshield. The sun load sensor converts the Sun load sensor
sun-load into an electrical current value and then inputs to the front A/C
control.
PROCESSING THE OPTICAL INPUT

The front air control also includes a processing circuit which averages the sun load variations detected over a period
of time. This prevents the need for the auto A/C system to adjust repeatedly due to small or quick sun load variations
detected. For example, consider driving along a road lined by occasional large trees. The sun-load detected by the
sun load sensor will vary whenever the trees obstruct the sunlight. The processing circuit averages the detected
sun-load 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 system operation. On the other hand, shortly after entering a long tunnel, the
system will recognize the change in sun-load, and the system will react accordingly.

Checking Refrigerant Leaks

DESCRIPTION
Visual check all refrigeration parts, fittings, hoses and components for signs of A/C oil leakage, damage, and
corrosion. Any A/C oil leakage may indicate refrigerant leakage in that area. Allow extra inspection time in these
areas when using either an electronic refrigerant leak detector or fluorescent dye leak detector.
If any dye is observed using a fluorescent dye leak detector, confirm the leak using an electronic refrigerant leak
detector. It is possible that the dye is left from a prior repair that was not properly cleaned. When checking for leaks,
do not stop when one leak is found but continue to check for additional leaks at all system components and
connections. When searching for refrigerant leaks using an electronic refrigerant leak detector, move the probe
along the suspected leak area at a speed of 25 - 50 mm (1 - 2 in) per second and no more than 6 mm (1/4 in) when
moving through a component.
CAUTION:
 Moving the electronic refrigerant leak detector probe slower and closer to the suspected leak area will
increase the chances of finding a leak.
FLUORESCENT DYE LEAK DETECTOR

CHECKING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS USING THE FLUORESCENT DYE LEAK DETECTOR
1. Check the A/C system for leaks using the fluorescent dye leak detector (and safety goggles) in a low sunlight
area (area without windows preferable). The dye illuminates all components, fittings and lines. The dye will
appear as a bright green/yellow area at the point of leakage. Fluorescent dye found at the evaporator drain
opening indicates an evaporator core assembly leak (tubes, core or expansion valve).
2. If the suspected area is difficult to see, use an adjustable mirror or wipe the area with a clean shop rag or cloth,
then inspect the shop rag or cloth with the fluorescent dye leak detector for dye residue.
3 After the leak is repaired, remove any residual dye using refrigerant dye cleaner to prevent future misdiagnosis.
4 Perform a system performance check and then verify the leak repair using an electronic refrigerant leak detector.
NOTE:
 Other gases in the work area or substances on the A/C components, for example, anti-freeze, windshield
washer fluid, solvents and oils, may falsely trigger the leak detector. Make sure the surfaces to be checked
are clean.
 Clean with a dry cloth or blow off with shop air.

DYE ADDING
NOTE:
(This procedure is only necessary when recharging the system or when the compressor has seized and must be
replaced.)
1. Pour one bottle 7.4 cc (1/4 ounce) of the HFC-134a (R-134a) fluorescent leak detection dye into the HFC-134a
(R-134a) dye syringe.
CAUTION:
 If repairing the A/C system or replacing a component, pour the HFC-134a (R-134a) fluorescent leak
detection dye directly into the open system connection and perform check procedures.
ATC-145
2. Connect the syringe tool to the low pressure service valve.

3. Start the engine and switch the A/C system ON.
4. With the A/C system is operation (compressor running), inject HFC-134a (R-134a) fluorescent leak detection
dye through the low pressure service valve using HFC-134a (R-134a) dye syringe. Refer to the manufacturer's
operating instructions.
5. With the engine still running, disconnect the HFC-134a (R-134a) dye syringe from the low pressure service
valve.
6. Operate the A/C system for 20 minutes minimum to mix the HFC-134a (R-134a) fluorescent leak detection dye
with the A/C system oil. Depending on the leak size, operating conditions and location of the leak, it may take
from a few minutes to days for the HFC-134a (R-134a) fluorescent leak detection dye to penetrate an A/C
system leak and becomes visible.

2. When checking for leaks, circle each fitting completely with the
probe (as shown in Fig. 30).
Fig. 30
3. Move the probe along each component at a speed of

approximately 25 ~ 50 mm (1 ~ 2 in)/second (as shown in Fig. 31).
1 second
Fig. 31
CHECK PROCEDURE
NOTE:
To prevent inaccurate or false readings, make sure there is no refrigerant vapor, shop chemicals, or cigarette smoke
in the vicinity of the vehicle. Perform the leak test in a calm area (low air/wind movement) so that the leaking
refrigerant is not dispersed.
1. Turn the engine OFF.

2. Connect the recovery/recycling equipment to the A/C service ports. Refer to ATC-149, “Service Tool and
Equipment Setting”.
3. Perform recover/evacuate and recharge the system with the specified amount of refrigerant. Refer to ATC-149,
"HFC-134a (R-134a) Check Procedure".
4. When performing a leak test, begin from high pressure side to the low pressure side. Refer to ATC-143, “Front
Refrigerant Line Parts” and ATC-144, “Rear Refrigerant Line Parts”. Clean components to be checked, move the
electronic refrigerant leak detector probe around the following connections and components.
 Compressor
 High and low pressure pipe and hose fittings, relief valve, and compressor shaft seal
 Receiver
 Refrigerant pressure sensor
 Service valves, check all around the service valves. Ensure service valve caps are secured on the service
valves (to prevent leaks).
NOTE:
After removing manifold gauge set from the service valves, wipe any residue from the service valves to
prevent any false readings by the electronic refrigerant leak detector.
ATC-147
 Evaporator
With engine OFF, turn blower fan on “High” for at least 15 seconds to eliminate water accumulated in the
front A/C/rear A/C assembly, then shut off the blower. Wait 10 minutes (refer to the manufacturer's
recommended procedure for actual waiting time) before inserting the electronic refrigerant leak detector
probe into the drain hose of front A/C/rear A/C assembly.
NOTE:
Keep the probe inserted for at least 10 seconds. Use caution not to contaminate the probe tip with water or
dirt that may be in the drain hose.
5. If a leak is detected, blow the suspected leak area clean with compressed air, then check again.
6. Do not stop when one leak is found. Continue to check for additional leaks at all system components and
connections.
7. If no leaks are found, perform steps 8-11.
9. Operate A/C controls switches in following steps:
NOTE:
Turn off the AUTO mode and set the functions of A/C system manually.
a. Turn the A/C switch ON

b. Air flow set to front VENT mode
c. Air inlet position set to RECIRCULATION mode
d. Temperature: MAX cold
e. Blower fan speed: Max.
10. Run the engine at 1,500 rpm for at least 2 minutes.

11. Turn the engine OFF and perform the leak check again following
Pressure in
steps 4 through 6 above. Refrigerant leaks should be checked high pressure
immediately after turning the engine OFF. Begin with the leak line
detector at the compressor. The pressure on the high pressure
side will gradually drop after the refrigerant circulation stops and
Pressure
pressure on the low pres-sure side will gradually rise, as shown in

the graph. Some leaks are more easily detected when the pressure
is high (as shown in Fig. 32). Pressure in low
