PROCEDURE

1.CHECK REFRIGERANT SHORTAGE
a.

Connect the GTS to the DLC3.


b.

Turn the ignition switch to ON.


c.

Turn the GTS on.


d.

Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Air Conditioner / Utility / Refrigerant Gas Volume Check.

Body Electrical > Air Conditioner > Utility

e.

Check that the following conditions are met and perform the refrigerant shortage check according to the display on the GTS.

Measurement Condition:
Item Condition
Vehicle Condition Engine running
A/C Switch On
Ambient temperature*1 0 to 49°C (32 to 120°F)
Air Conditioning Air Inlet Temperature*2 25 to 35°C (77 to 95°F)
Set Temperature MAX COLD
Recirculation/fresh Control Switch Recirculation
Air Vent Damper Position FACE
Blower Speed HI

HINT:
·

Refer to the GTS operator's manual for further details.

·

A message indicating a refrigerant shortage is displayed on the GTS and the air conditioning system turns off if the amount of refrigerant in the system is insufficient.

·

*1: This inspection can be judged correctly only if the ambient temperature is within a range of 0 to 49°C (32 to 120°F). Therefore, postpone the test if the temperature is low.

·

*2: This inspection can be judged correctly only if the air inlet temperature is within a range of 25 to 35°C (77 to 95°F). Therefore, postpone the test if the temperature is out of range.
