2.  Discharge the refrigerant. (See REFRIGERANT CHARGING.)

3.  Set the coolant reserve tank out of the way. (See COOLANT RESERVE TANK REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-G 2.0].)

4.  Disconnect the refrigerant pressure sensor connector.

5.  Remove in the order indicated in the table. Do not allow compressor oil to spill.

Caution
•  If moisture or foreign material enters the refrigeration cycle, cooling ability will be lowered and abnormal noise will occur. Always immediately plug all open fittings after removing any refrigeration cycle parts to keep moisture or foreign material out of the cycle.

6.  Install in the reverse order of removal.

7.  Perform the refrigerant system performance test. (See REFRIGERANT SYSTEM PERFORMANCE TEST.)
