5. INSTALL V-RIBBED BELT |
Rotate the tensioner pulley counterclockwise, and then install the V-ribbed belt.
![]() |
If it is difficult to install the V-ribbed belt, perform the following procedure.
Put the V-ribbed belt on everything except the tensioner pulley as shown in the illustration.
While releasing the belt tension by turning the belt tensioner counterclockwise, put the V-ribbed belt on the tensioner pulley.
- NOTICE:
- Put the backside of the V-ribbed belt on the tensioner pulley and idler pulley.
- Check that the V-ribbed belt is properly set to each pulley.

![]() |
11. CONNECT CABLE TO NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL |
12. CHARGE REFRIGERANT |
Perform vacuum purging using a vacuum pump.
Charge refrigerant HFC-134a (R134a).
- Standard:
- 430 +-30 g (15.2 +-1.1 oz.)
- SST
- 09985-20010(09985-02130,09985-02150,09985-02090,09985-02110,09985-02010,09985-02050,09985-02060,09985-02070)
- NOTICE:
- Do not operate the cooler compressor before charging refrigerant as the cooler compressor will not work properly without any refrigerant, and will overheat.
- Approximately 100 g (3.53 oz.) of refrigerant may need to be charged after bubbles disappear. The refrigerant amount should be checked by measuring its quantity, and not with the sight glass.
13. INSPECT FOR REFRIGERANT LEAK |
After recharging the refrigerant gas, check for refrigerant gas leakage using a halogen leak detector.
Perform the operation under these conditions:
- Stop the engine.
- Secure good ventilation (the gas leak detector may react to volatile gases other than refrigerant, such as evaporated gasoline or exhaust gas).
- Repeat the test 2 or 3 times.
- Make sure that some refrigerant remains in the refrigeration system. When compressor is off: approximately 392 to 588 kPa (4 to 6 kgf/cm2, 57 to 85 psi)
- Stop the engine.
Using a gas leak detector, check the refrigerant line for leakage.
![]() |
If a gas leak is not detected on the drain hose, remove the blower motor control (blower resistor) from the cooling unit. Insert the gas leak detector sensor into the unit and perform the test.
Disconnect the connector and leave the pressure switch on for approximately 20 minutes. Bring the gas leak detector close to the pressure switch and perform the test.
14. INSTALL RADIATOR SUPPORT OPENING COVER |
Install the cover with the 9 clips.
