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

REMOVAL PROCEDURE
The second design can be identified by the location of the temperature sensor. The temperature sensor is retained with a screw to the evaporator pipe.




1. Disconnect the thermal expansion valve (TXV) temperature sensor from the engine harness.
2. Remove the temperature sensor screw from the evaporator pipe.
3. Remove the temperature sensor from the evaporator pipe.

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 screw.

Tighten the screw to 8.5 N.m (75 lb in).

NOTE: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions.

4. Connect the temperature sensor to the engine harness.
