INSTALLATION

NOTE: Any grease removed with the evaporator temperature sensor must be replaced. Failure to do so could result in poor A/C performance.

1. On RG models, install the evaporator temperature sensor and retainer onto the A/C expansion valve, if removed.

2. Remove the tape or plugs from the evaporator inlet and outlet tube fittings and both ports on the back of the A/C expansion valve.

3. Lubricate new rubber O-ring seals with clean refrigerant oil and install them on the evaporator inlet and outlet tube fittings.

4. Position the A/C expansion valve onto the evaporator inlet and outlet tube fittings.

5. Install the two bolts that secure the A/C expansion valve to the evaporator tube tapping plate. Tighten the bolts to 11 Nm (97 in.lbs.).

6. On RG models, connect the HVAC wire harness connector to the evaporator temperature sensor.

7. Remove the tape or plugs from the front liquid line rear section and suction line fittings for the expansion valve and both ports on the front of the expansion valve.

8. Lubricate new rubber O-ring seals with clean refrigerant oil and install them on the front liquid line rear section and suction line fittings for the expansion valve.

9. Connect the A/C liquid and suction lines to the expansion valve.

10. Install the nut that secures the A/C liquid and suction line to the A/C expansion valve. Tighten the nut to 23 Nm (17 ft.lbs.).

11. Remove the tape or plugs from the liquid line rear section fitting and the receiver/drier outlet port.

12. Lubricate a new rubber O-ring seal with clean refrigerant oil and install it on the liquid line fitting.

13. Connect the A/C liquid line to the receiver/drier.

14. Install the bolt that secures the A/C liquid line to the receiver/drier. Tighten the bolt to 11 Nm (97 in.lbs.).

15. Connect the wire harness connector to the A/C pressure transducer.

16. Install the drain tube to the wiper module.

17. Install the air cleaner housing and air inlet tube.

18. Reconnect the negative battery cable.

19. Evacuate the refrigerant system.

20. Charge the refrigerant system.
