    Camry. Acv40 Gsv40.Air Conditioning.Air Conditioning System.Condenser  Installation

    Standard:
    450 to 550 g (15.9 to 19.4 oz.)
    SST
    07110-58060(07117-58060,07117-58070,07117-58080,07117-58090,07117-78050,07117-88060,07117-88070,07117-88080)
    NOTICE:
    1. Do not turn the A/C on before charging with refrigerant. Doing so will cause the cooler compressor to work without refrigerant, resulting in overheating of the cooler compressor.
    2. Approximately 100 g (3.53 oz.) of refrigerant may need to be charged after bubbles disappear.
      The refrigerant amount should be checked by quantity, not with the sight glass.
    HINT:
    Ensure that sufficient refrigerant is available to recharge the system when using a refrigerant recovery unit. Refrigerant recovery units are not always able to recover 100 % of the refrigerant from an A/C system.


19. WARM UP ENGINE
  1. Keep the A/C switch on for at least 2 minutes to warm up the compressor.

    NOTICE:
    Be sure to warm up the compressor when turning the A/C on after removing and installing the cooler refrigerant lines (including the compressor), to prevent damage to the compressor.


20. CHECK FOR REFRIGERANT LEAKS
  1. After recharging with refrigerant gas, check for leakage of refrigerant gas using a halogen leak detector.

  1. Carry out the test under the following conditions:

    1. IG OFF
    2. Secure good ventilation (the gas leak detector may react to volatile gases which are not refrigerant, such as evaporated gasoline and exhaust gas).
    3. Repeat the test 2 or 3 times.
    4. Make sure that there is some refrigerant remaining in the refrigeration system.
      When the compressor is off: approx. 392 to 588 kPa (4 to 6 kgf/cm2, 57 to 85 psi)


    Camry. Acv40 Gsv40.Air Conditioning.Air Conditioning System.Condenser  Installation
  1. Using a gas leak detector, check for leakage from the refrigerant lines.



    Camry. Acv40 Gsv40.Air Conditioning.Air Conditioning System.Condenser  Installation
  1. Bring the gas leak detector close to the drain hose with the detector's power off, and then turn the detector on.

    HINT:
    1. After the blower motor has stopped, let the cooling unit stand for more than 15 minutes.
    2. Bring the gas leak detector sensor under the drain hose.
    3. When bringing the gas leak detector close to the drain hose, make sure that the gas leak detector does not react to volatile gases.
      If it is not possible to avoid interference from volatile gases, the vehicle should be lifted up to allow testing.
  1. If a gas leak is not detected from the drain hose, remove the blower motor control from the cooling unit. Insert the gas leak detector sensor into the unit and perform the test.

  1. Disconnect the pressure switch connector and leave it for approximately 20 minutes. Bring the gas leak detector close to the pressure switch and perform the test.



21. VEHICLE PREPARATION FOR FOG LIGHT AIM ADJUSTMEN (w/ Fog Light)
  1. Prepare the vehicle:

    1. Ensure there is no damage or deformation to the body around the fog lights.
    2. Fill the fuel tank.
    3. Make sure that the oil is filled to the specified level.
    4. Make sure that the engine coolant is filled to the specified level.
    5. Inflate the tires to the appropriate pressure.
    6. Unload the trunk and vehicle, ensuring that the spare tire, tools, and jack are in their original positions.
    7. Sit a person of average weight (75 kg, 165 lb) in the driver's seat.
    8. Vehicles with height adjustable suspension should set the vehicle height to the lowest setting prior to adjusting the fog light aim.


22. PREPARATION FOR FOG LIGHT AIMING (w/ Fog Light)


    Camry. Acv40 Gsv40.Air Conditioning.Air Conditioning System.Condenser  Installation
  1. Prepare the vehicle:

    1. Place the vehicle in a location that is dark enough to clearly observe the cutoff line. The cutoff line is a distinct line, below which light from the fog lights can be observed and above which it cannot.
    2. Place the vehicle at a 90° angle to the wall.
    3. Create a 25 m (82 ft) distance between the vehicle (fog light bulb center) and the wall.
    4. Make sure that the vehicle is on a level surface.
    5. Bounce the vehicle up and down to settle the suspension.
      NOTICE:
      A distance of 25 m (82 ft) between the vehicle (fog light bulb center) and the wall is necessary for proper aim adjustment. If sufficient space is not available, secure a distance of exactly 3 m (9.84 ft) to allow for checking and adjustment of fog light aim. (The size of the target zone will change with the distance, so follow the instructions in the illustration.)
  1. Prepare a piece of thick white paper (approximately 2 m (6.6 ft) (height) x 4 m (13.1 ft) (width)) to use as a screen.

  1. Draw a vertical line down the center of screen (V line).



  1. Set the screen as shown in the illustration.


    Camry. Acv40 Gsv40.Air Conditioning.Air Conditioning System.Condenser  Installation

    HINT:
    1. Stand the screen perpendicular to the ground.
    2. Align the V line on the screen with the center of the vehicle.


    Camry. Acv40 Gsv40.Air Conditioning.Air Conditioning System.Condenser  Installation
  1. Draw base lines (H, V LH, and V RH lines) on the screen as shown in the illustration.

    HINT:
    Mark the fog light bulb center marks on the screen. If the center mark cannot be observed on the fog light, use the center of the fog light bulb or the manufacturer's name marked on the fog light as the center mark.

    1. H Line (Fog light height):
      Draw a horizontal line across the screen so that it passes through the center marks. The H line should be at the same height as the fog light bulb center marks of the low-beam fog lights.

    2. V LH Line, V RH Line (Center mark position of left-hand (LH) and right-hand (RH) fog lights):
      Draw two vertical lines so that they intersect the H line at each center mark.



23. FOG LIGHT AIMING INSPECTION (w/ Fog Light)
  1. Cover the fog light or disconnect the connector of the fog light on the opposite side to prevent light from the fog light that is not being inspected from affecting the fog light aiming inspection.

    NOTICE:
    Do not keep the fog light covered for more than 3 minutes. The fog light lens is made of synthetic resin, which may melt or be damaged due to excessive heat.
  1. Start the engine.



  1. Turn on the fog light and check if the cut off line falls within the specified area in the following illustration.


    Camry. Acv40 Gsv40.Air Conditioning.Air Conditioning System.Condenser  Installation



24. FOG LIGHT AIMING ADJUSTMENT (w/ Fog Light)


    Camry. Acv40 Gsv40.Air Conditioning.Air Conditioning System.Condenser  Installation
  1. Adjust the aim vertically:
    Adjust the aim of each fog light to the specified range by turning each aiming screw with a screwdriver.

    NOTICE:
    The final turn of the aiming screw should be made in the clockwise direction. If the screw is tightened excessively, loosen it and then retighten it, so that the final turn of the screw is in the clockwise direction.
    HINT:
    If it is not possible to correctly adjust fog light aim, check bulb, fog light unit, and fog light unit reflector installation.
