(b) Install a manifold gauge set.
(c) Read the manifold gauge pressure when the following conditions are met.
(1) Prepare the vehicle according to the table below.
Measurement Condition:|
Item | Condition |
|---|---|
|
Vehicle doors | Fully open |
|
Temperature setting | MAX COLD |
|
Blower speed | HI |
|
A/C switch | On |

Recirculation/fresh switch |
RECIRCULATION |
|
Interior temperature |
25 to 35°C (77 to 95°F) |
Standard Pressure:
Low pressure side
150 to 250 kPa (1.5 to 2.5 kgf/cm2, 22 to 36 psi)
High pressure side
1370 to 1570 kPa (14 to 16 kgf/cm2, 199 to 228 psi)
(d) Compare the values displayed in the Data List and on the manifold gauge.
OK:
The values displayed in the Data List and on the manifold gauge match.
| OK | | GO TO ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION (CHECK REFRIGERANT PRESSURE USING GAUGE) |
| NG | | REPLACE AIR CONDITIONER PRESSURE SENSOR |
