Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

Rear




The liquid line (1) is the refrigerant line that carries refrigerant from the A/C condenser to the rear A/C evaporator. The liquid line serviced in two sections and includes a tapping plate (4) that retains the suction line (3). Models equipped with the rear heating-A/C system include an extension tube (8) that connects the liquid line to the underbody line by use of a spring-lock type refrigerant line coupler (6) and a secondary retaining clip (7).

CAUTION: Use only O-ring seals specified for the vehicle. Failure to use the correct O-ring seal will cause the refrigerant system connections to leak.

The liquid line has no serviceable parts except for the rubber O-ring seals. The O-ring seals used on the connections are made from a special type of rubber not affected by R-134a refrigerant. The O-ring seals must be replaced whenever the liquid line is removed and installed.

If the liquid line is found to be leaking or is damaged, it must be replaced.
