Evaporator Core: Service and Repair

NOTE: Installation of a new suction accumulator is not necessary when repairing the air conditioning system except when there is physical evidence of system contamination from a failed A/C component or damage to the suction accumulator.

NOTE: If an A/C evaporator core leak is suspected, the A/C evaporator core must be leak tested before it is removed from the vehicle. For additional information, see A/C EVAPORATOR/CONDENSOR ON-VEHICLE LEAK TEST.

NOTE: The evaporator core and evaporator housing must be installed as a complete unit.

1. Remove the A/C evaporator core housing.
2. Transfer, the components from the old evaporator core housing to the new evaporator core housing.
3. To install, reverse the removal procedure.
1. Lubricate the new A/C evaporator core with the correct amount of PAG Compressor Oil. For additional information, see REFRIGERANT OIL ADDING.
