INSTRUCTIONS
WHEN HANDLING REFRIGERANT
1. R-134a liquid refrigerant is highly volatile. A drop on the skin of your hand could result in localized frostbite. When
handling the refrigerant, be sure to wear gloves.
2. It is standard practice to wear goggles or glasses to protect your eyes, and gloves to protect your hands. If the
refrigerant splashes into your eyes, wash them with clean water immediately.
3. The R-134a container is highly pressurized. Never leave it in a hot place, and check that the storage temperature
is below 52°C (126°F)
4. An electronic leak detector should be used to check the system for refrigerant leakage. Bear in mind that the R-
134a, upon coming into contact with flame, produces phosgene, a highly toxic gas.
5. Use only recommended the lubricant for R-134a systems. If lubricants other than the recommended one used,
system failure may occur.
6. PAG lubricant absorbs moisture from the atmosphere at a rapid rate, therefore the following precautions must be
observed:
A. When removing refrigerant components from a vehicle, cap immediately the components to prevent from the
entry of moisture.
B. When installing refrigerant components to a vehicle, do not remove the cap until just before connecting the
components.
C. Complete the connection of all refrigerant tubes and hoses without delay to prevent the A/C system from taking
on moisture.

cardiagn.com
D. Use the recommended lubricant from a sealed container only.
7. If an accidental discharge in the system occurs, ventilate the work area before resuming service.

WHEN REPLACING PARTS ON A/C SYSTEM

1. Never open or loosen a connection before discharging the system.
2. Seal the open fittings of components with a cap or plug immediately to prevent intrusion of moisture or dust.
3. Do not remove the sealing caps from a replacement component until it is ready to be installed.
4. Before connecting an open fitting, always install a new sealing ring. Coat the fitting and seal with refrigerant oil
before making the connection.

WHEN INSTALLING CONNECTING PARTS

HANDLING TUBING AND FITTINGS

The internal parts of the refrigeration system will remain in a state of chemical stability as long as pure moisture-free
refrigerant and refrigerant oil are used. Abnormal amounts of dirt, moisture or air can upset the chemical stability and
cause problems or serious damage.

THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS MUST BE OBSERVED

1. When it is necessary to open the refrigeration system, have everything you will need to service the system ready so
the system will not be left open any longer than necessary.
2. Cap or plug all lines and fittings as soon as they are opened to prevent the entrance of dirt and moisture.
3. All lines and components in parts stock should be capped or sealed until they are ready to be used.
4. Never attempt to rebind formed lines to fit. Use the correct line for the installation you are servicing.
5. All tools, including the refrigerant dispensing manifold, the gauge set manifold and test hoses, should be kept clean
and dry.

INSPECTION
Oil Specification
1. The HFC-134a system requires synthetic (PAG) compressor oil whereas the R-12 system requires mineral
compressor oil. The two oils must never be mixed.
2. Compressor (PAG) oil varies according to compressor model. Be sure to use oil specified for the model of
compressor.

Handling of Oil
1. The oil should be free from moisture, dust, metal powder, etc.
2. Do not mix with other oil.
3. The water content in the oil increases when exposed to the air. After use, seal oil from air immediately. (HFC-134a
Compressor Oil absorbs moisture very easily.)
4. The compressor oil must be stored in steel containers, not in plastic containers.

Compressor oil check

The oil used to lubricate the compressor is circulating with the refrigerant.
Whenever replacing any component of the system or a large amount of gas leakage occurs, add oil to maintain the
original amount of oil.

cardiagn.com
Oil total volume in system:
120±10cc (4.05±0.34 fl.oz)

Oil Return Operation

There is close affinity between the oil and the refrigerant.
During normal operation, part of the oil recirculates with the refrigerant in the system. When checking the amount of
oil in the system, or replacing any component of the system, the compressor must be run in advance for oil return
operation. The procedure is as follows:
1. Open all the doors and the engine hood.
2. Start the engine and air conditioning switch to "ON" and set the blower motor control knob at its highest position.
3. Run the compressor for more than 20 minutes between 800 and 1,000 rpm in order to operate the system.
4. Stop the engine.

Replacement of Component Parts

When replacing the system component parts, supply the following amount of oil to the component parts to be installed.
Component parts to be installed Amount of Oil
Evaporator 50 cc (1.70 fl.oz)
Condenser 30 cc (1.02 fl.oz)
Receiver/dryer 30 cc (1.02 fl.oz)
Refrigerant line (One piece) 10 cc (0.34 fl.oz)

For compressor replacement, subtract the volume of oil drained from the removed compressor from the specified
volume, and drain the calculated volume of oil from the new compressor:
The specified volume - volume of removed compressor = volume to drain from the new compressor.

Even if no oil is drained from the removed compressor, don’t drain more than 50cc from new compressor.

Heater - Fuel Fired Heater

Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning

2009 > G 2.7 DOHC >

COMPONENT LOCATION

cardiagn.com
 2009 > G 2.7 DOHC >

DESCRIPTION
The fuel fired heater has been applied to the diesel engine (CRDi) to increase heating capability by using diesel only in
cold weather

cardiagn.com
• Follow the procedures specified in this bulletin during service or it may cause personal injury.
• Be sure to turn the fuel fired heater off when refueling at station.
• The fuel fired heater must be mounted at designated position, never in the passenger compartment.
• The fuel fired heater must be kept below 120°C or a permanent failure on the components may occur.
• Operational principle : The following 3 conditions should be met at the same time for automatic operation of
the fuel fired heater.
- Engine runs.
- Ambient temperature is lower than 2°C (Winter)
- Coolant temperature is lower than 68°C
• Cleaning process
- A cleaning process of the fuel fired heater will be performed automatically when the heater is not operated
due to increase of coolant temperature and ignition off.
- During cleaning process, supplied fuel in the heater will be burnt completely and any smoke will be
expelled.
It is a necessary process for next operation and durability of the heater and takes about 3 minutes.
• Others
The following symptoms should be explained to customers or technicians as a normal occurrence.
- A white smoke may come out from the fuel fired heater exhaust pipe installed at the front side of the right
front tire during operation of the heater.
This is not an exhaust fumes.
When moisture in the fuel and air is discharged from the heater and is met cold ambient air, it is condensed
and looks like a white smoke however, when an excessive black smoke is discharged, the fuel fired heater
should be inspected.
- A "buk-buk" noise from the heater is a noise to form flame for combustion. This is a normal operation.
- When the heater is operated at full load, a "Wooing" noise is occurred.
- When shutting off the engine during heater operation, a "Wing" noise is occurred to perform the cleaning
process.

OVERVIEW
1. This fuel fired heater supplies additional heat to the interior compartment with a low fuel consumption to
compensate the heat provided by engine alone.
2. The fuel fired heater has been adopted to warm up the interior compartment in a short time.
3. The two coolant temperature sensors are installed to the heater inner. The sensor valves determine heater
operation.
4. One of the temperature sensors functions to prevent the heater from overheating.
If the sensor temperature valve exceeds 125°C, the fuel will be cut and the heater will be deactivated by the
determination of the overheating of the heater.
The other temperature sensor determines the operation mode of the fuel fired heater.The temperature of this
sensor enables to activate the heater at full load(5kw) or half load(2.5kw).
• The coolant temperature shown on the above Figure is the value of the inner sensor and the actual coolant
temperature is higher about 5°C ~7°C than the above value.

cardiagn.com
OPERATION
Switch on/ Operation start
The fuel fired heater is operated when the coolant temperature is below 68°C and the ambient temperature is below
2°C after starting the engine.
At this time, the glow plug and combustion air fan are operated first and after 30 seconds, the dosing pump is
operated with stopping the combustion fan for 3 seconds.
After that, the operation of the fan increases continuously until it approaches to full load within 56 seconds. If fuel
supply reaches to full load the glow plug does not operate and the operation of the fan reaches to full load.
After that the glow plug monitors ignition condition as a flame sensor for 45 seconds.
The above operation procedure is done automatically and in case the ignition fails, the above operation will be done
again automatically.
If the condition of ignition failure sustains continuously, fuel supply and fan operation will be stopped and error codes
will be stored to find cause of failure.
Generally, the cause of ignition failure during combustion is caused by the automatic re-operation of the above
procedure.

Operation for heating

The fuel fired heater operates at full load when the coolant temperature is below 68°C and the ambient temperature is
below 2°C after starting the engine.
It operates at half load when the coolant temperature is 74°C and it operates at idle mode when the coolant
temperature is 78°C.
The fuel fired heater during the transformation process does a cleaning function from the half mode to the idle mode.
At idle mode, all components do not work.
The fuel fired heater operating at idle mode turns into the half load when the coolant temperature is 74°C. At this time,
if the coolant temperature drops again below 68°C, the heater operates with full load and turns into the idle mode if
the temperature is 78°C.
This serial operating process is performed automatically.

Key switch off / Operation stop

The fuel fired heater ECU stops the operation of the fuel pump and cuts fuel supply when shutting off the engine
during the heater operation.
The heater conducts cleaning operation at this time.
This is a process of burning the fuel completely supplied in the heater inner.
In this process, the glow plug and combustion air fan are operated.
When the cleaning process is over, the operation of the heater is stopped.
The time for cleaning when the engine is turned off during the operation of the heater at full load is about 175
seconds.
About 100 seconds are required to conduct the cleaning of the heater at half load condition.
The operating sound of cleaning the heater is heard from the outside of the heater after turning the engine off and this
is a normal process of operation
