AIR CONDITIONING (A/C) REFRIGERANT LOW TEMPERATURE SENSOR REPLACEMENT (FIRST DESIGN)

REMOVAL PROCEDURE
The first design can be identified by the location of the temperature sensor. The temperature sensor is retained with a screw to the Thermal Expansion Valve (TXV).




1. Disconnect the thermal expansion valve (TXV) temperature sensor from the engine harness.




2. Remove the temperature sensor from the TXV.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE




1. Fill the temperature sensor housing in the TXV with the thermal grease included with the service kit.

IMPORTANT: The TXV cavity for temperature sensor must be packed with thermal grease to ensure functionality.

2. Install the temperature sensor and wipe away the excess grease.
3. Install the temperature sensor bolt.

Tighten the bolt to 5 N.m (44 lb in).

NOTE: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions.




4. Connect the temperature sensor to the engine harness.
