R-134A Retrofit Procedures

***THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS RETROFIT INFORMATION PROVIDED BY TSB #95-020, DATED JUNE 26, 1995***

BACKGROUND
Because of environmental concerns, production of R-12 refrigerant is being phased out. Honda is making retrofit kits available to convert systems that currently use R-12 refrigerant to R-134a refrigerant use.

MODELS AFFECTED
1992 - 93 ACCORD: All

PREPARATION
Before retrofitting the A/C system to use R-134a, test its performance and inspect all components.
- If the system is not cooling correctly, determine the cause (restriction, refrigerant leak, system contamination, etc.) and repair it before continuing.
- If the system is not fully charged, determine if there are any leaks and repair them before continuing.
- If the compressor is making noise, repair or replace it before continuing. Refer to Parts Information Bulletin A95-0005 for the proper components.
- If the system has been open to the atmosphere, replace the receiver/dryer.

PARTS INFORMATION
R-134a retrofit kit A: P/N 38020-SM4-A1AH, H/C 4729828
