COMPRESSOR AND MAGNETIC CLUTCH

REMOVAL

1. RUN ENGINE AT IDLE SPEED WITH A/C ON FOR APPROX. 10 MINUTES
2. STOP ENGINE
3. DISCONNECT CABLE FROM NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL
4. DISCHARGE REFRIGERANT FROM REFRIGERATION SYSTEM

5. DISCONNECT DISCHARGE AND SUCTION HOSES




a. Remove the 2 nuts and disconnect both hoses.

NOTE: Cap the openings fitting immediately to keep moisture or dirt out of the system.

6. REMOVE DRIVE BELT


7. REMOVE COOLER COMPRESSOR.

b. Remove the 3 bolts and nut.
c. Remove the cooler bracket.
d. Remove the compressor.

INSTALLATION

1. INSTALL COOLER COMPRESSOR ASSEMBLY
a. Install the compressor with the cooler bracket with the 3 bolts and nut.

Torque: 47 N.m (480 kgf.cm, 35 in.lbf)
Torque: 25 N.m (255 kgf.cm, 18 in.lbf)

b. Connect the connector.

2. CONNECT DISCHARGE AND SUCTION HOSES
a. Connect both hoses with the 2 nuts.

Torque: 10 N.m (100 kgf.cm, 7 in.lbf)

NOTE: Hoses should be connected immediately after the caps have been removed.

HINT: Lubricate 2 new O-rings with compressor oil and install them to the hoses.

3. INSTALL AND CHECK DRIVE BELT
4. CONNECT CABLE TO NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL

Dual A/C: 1050 ± 50g (37.03 ± 1.76 oz.)

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

If there is leakage, check the tightening torque at the joints.

8. PERFORM INITIALIZATION
a. Perform initialization.

HINT: Some systems need initialization when disconnecting the cable from the negative battery terminal.
