Front A/C Pressure Transducer - Installation






INSTALLATION

NOTE:
Replacement of the O-ring seal is required anytime an A/C pressure transducer is removed. Failure to replace the rubber O-ring seal may result in a refrigerant system leak.





1. Lubricate a new rubber O-ring seal with clean refrigerant oil and install it onto the fitting on top of the A/C receiver/drier (3). Use only the specified O-ring seal as it is made of special material for R-134a. Use only refrigerant oil of the type required for the A/C compressor.

2. Install the A/C pressure transducer (2) onto the fitting. Tighten the A/C pressure transducer to 5.6 Nm (50 in. lbs.).

3. Connect the wire harness connector (1) to the A/C pressure transducer.

4. Install the air cleaner housing and inlet duct.

5. Reconnect the negative battery cable.
