Yes Adjust clearance between pressure plate of magnetic clutch and A/C compressor pulley, then go to Step 19. No Condition is normal. ( Recheck malfunction symptoms.) 5 Inspect A/C compressor noise time Is noise heard continuously for more than 3 seconds after A/C compressor comes on? Yes Go to next step, No Condition is normal. (Noise occurs for 2-3 seconds immediately after A/C compressor turns on.) 6 Inspect idle speed Is it okay? Yes Go to next step. No Adjust idle speed, then go to Step 19. 7 Inspect refrigerant amount. See refrigerant system service procedures, refrigerant charge check Is it okay? Yes Go to Step 10. No Go to next step. 8 Inspect refrigerant line  Is piping free of damage and cracks?  Are piping connections free of oil grime? (Visual Inspection)  Are piping connections free of gas leak- age?  Are piping installation points on con- dense free of gas leakage?  Are piping installation points on receiv- er/drier free of gas leakage?  Are piping installation pints on A/C Compressor free of gas leakage?  Are piping installation points on cooling unit free of gas leakage.  Perform gas leak inspection using gas leak tester. Are above items okay? Yes Go to next step. No If piping or A/C component (s) is damaged or cracked, replace then go to Step 19.If there is gas leakage, repair or replace connection and replace condenser, then go Step 19.
