INSPECTION PROCEDURE

1. Connect recovery/recycling/recharging equipment (for HFC-134a) or manifold gauge.
2. Start the engine, and set to the following condition.

Test condition

3. Maintain test condition until A/C system becomes stable. (Approximately 10 minutes)
4. Check that test results of “recirculating-to-discharge air temperature” and “ambient air temperature-to-

operating pressure” are within the specified value.

5. When test results are within the specified value, inspection is complete.

If any test result is out of the specified value, perform diagnosis by gauge pressure. Refer to 

HA-26,

"Symptom Table"

REFRIGERATION SYSTEM SYMPTOMS

REFRIGERATION SYSTEM SYMPTOMS

Trouble Diagnosis For Unusual Pressure

INFOID:0000000009269748

Diagnose using a manifold gauge whenever system’s high and/or low side pressure(s) is/are unusual. The

marker above the gauge scale in the following tables indicates the standard (usual) pressure range. Refer to

Ambient air temperature-to-operating pressure table since the standard (usual) pressure, differs from vehicle

to vehicle.

Symptom Table

INFOID:0000000009269749

Gauge indication

Refrigerant cycle

Probable cause

Corrective action

Both high- and low-pressure sides 
are too high.

The pressure returns to nor-
mal soon after sprinkling wa-
ter on condenser.

Overfilled refrigerant.

Collect all refrigerant, evacuate 
refrigerant cycle again, and 
then refill it with the specified 
amount of refrigerant.

Air flow to condenser is insuf-
ficient.

Insufficient condenser cooling 
performance.
• Poor fan rotation of radiator 

and condenser.

• Improper installation of air 

guide.

• Clogged or dirty condenser 

fins.

• Repair or replace malfunc-

tioning parts.

• Clean and repair condenser 

fins.

When compressor is stopped, 
a high-pressure reading 
quickly drops by approximate-
ly 196 kPa (2 kg/cm

2

, 28 psi). 

It then gradually decreases.

Air mixed in refrigerant cycle.

Collect all refrigerant, evacuate 
refrigerant cycle again, and 
then refill it with the specified 
amount of refrigerant.

• Low-pressure pipe is cooler 

than the outlet of evapora-
tor.

• Low-pressure pipe is frost-

ed.

Expansion valve opened too 
much (excessive flow of refrig-
erant).

Replace expansion valve.

High-pressure side is excessively 
high and low-pressure side is too 
low.

High-pressure pipe and upper 
side of condenser become 
hot, however, liquid tank does 
not become as hot.

Clogged or crushed high-pres-
sure pipe located between 
compressor and condenser.

Repair or replace the malfunc-
tioning parts.

High-pressure side is too low and 
low-pressure side is too high.

• The readings of both sides 

become equal soon after 
compressor operation 
stops.

• There is no temperature dif-

ference between high- and 
low-pressure sides.

Malfunction in compressor sys-
tem (insufficient compressor 
pressure operation).
• Damage or breakage of 

valve.

• Malfunctioning gaskets.

Replace compressor.
