Removal And Installation

COMPONENTS

REMOVAL
1. DISCHARGE REFRIGERANT FROM REFRIGERATION SYSTEM
2. DRAIN ENGINE COOLANT FROM RADIATOR

HINT: It is not necessary to drain out all coolant.

3. DISCONNECT LIQUID AND SUCTION TUBES




a. Using SST, remove the 2 piping clamps.
SST O987-0001 5 (Suction tube) O987-00025 (Liquid tube)




1. Insert SST to piping clamp.

HINT: Confirm the direction of the piping clamp claw and SST using the illustration showing on the caution label.




2. Push down SST and release the clamp lock.

NOTE: Be careful not to deform the tubes, when pushing SST.

3. Pull SST slightly and push the release lever, then remove the piping clamp with SST.
4. Remove the piping clamp from SST.




b. Disconnect the both tubes.

NOTE:
- Do not use tools like screwdriver to remove the tube.
- Cap the open fittings immediately to keep moisture or dirt out of the system.

4. REMOVE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND REINFORCEMENT

5. DISCONNECT WATER HOSES




a. Using pliers, grip the claws of the hose clip and slide the hose clip along the hose.
b. Disconnect the water hose.

6. REMOVE BLOWER UNIT




a. Remove the 2 connector bracket set screws.




b. Release the 2 claws and remove the air duct.




c. Disconnect the connectors.
d. Disconnect the evaporator temperature sensor connector clamp.
e. Remove the bolt, nut and 2 screws.
f. Remove the blower unit.

7. REMOVE A/C UNIT




a. Slide the floor carpet backward.
b. Remove the 2 rear heater ducts.




c. Disconnect the connectors.
d. Remove the 2 nuts and A/C unit.

INSTALLATION

1. INSTALL A/C UNIT

b. Connect the connector.




c. Install the 2 rear heater ducts.
d. Install the floor carpet.

2. INSTALL BLOWER UNIT




a. Install the blower unit with the bolt, nut and 2 screws.
b. Connect the evaporator temperature sensor connector.
c. Connect the connectors.




d. Install the 2 connector bracket set screws.




e. Install air duct RH.

3. INSTALL REINFORCEMENT AND INSTRUMENT PANEL

4. CONNECT 2 WATER HOSES




a. Push the water hose onto the heater radiator pipe as far as the second ridge on the pipe.




b. Install the hose clip in a position, as shown in the illustration.

5. CONNECT LIQUID AND SUCTION TUBES




a. Lubricate 4 new O-rings with compressor oil and install them to the both tubes.
b. Connect the both tubes and install the piping clamps.




c. After connection, check the fitting for claw of the piping clamp.

6. FILL WITH ENGINE COOLANT

7. CHARGE SYSTEM WITH REFRIGERANT
a. Evacuate air from refrigeration system.
b. Charge system with refrigerant.

Specified amount: 800 ± 50 g (28.22 ± 1.76 oz.)

8. INSPECT FOR LEAKAGE OF REFRIGERANT
Using a gas leak detector, check for leakage of refrigerant.
