| Replacement |
| 1. | If the compressor is marginally operable, run the engine at idle speed, and let the air conditioning work for a few minutes, then shut the engine off. |
| 2. | Disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal. |
| 3. | Recover the refrigerant with a recovery / charging station. |
| 4. | Remove the bolts and the expansion valve (A) from the evaporator core.
|
| 5. | Loosen the mounting nuts, and then disconnect the discharge line (B) and liquid line (A) from the condenser.
|
| 6. | Disconnect the A/C pressure transducer connector (A).
|
| 7. | Remove the engine room under cover. (Refer to Engine Mechanical System - "Engine Room Under Cover") |
| 8. | Remove the bolts, then disconnect the suction line (A) and discharge line (B) from the compressor.
|
| 9. | Remove the refrigerant line assembly (A) to the upper of engine room.

Repair procedures Oil Specification1.The HFC-134a system requires synthetic (PAG) compressor oil whereas the R-12 system requires mineral compressor oil.
Description and operation DescriptionThe compressor is the power unit of the A/C system.It is located on the side of engine block and driven by a V-belt of the engine.
Description and operation DescriptionThe evaporator temperature sensor will detect the evaporator core temperature and interrupt compressor relay power in order to prevent evaporator from freezing by excessive cooling. The evaporator temperature sensor has the Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC).
