Air Conditioning Evaporator Hose Assembly Replacement LHD

Tools Required

J 39400-A Halogen Leak Detector

1. Recover the refrigerant from the system. Refer to Refrigerant Recovery and Recharging .
2. Disconnect the evaporator hose assembly from the accumulator.
3. Disconnect the evaporator hose assembly from the strut tower.



4. Disconnect the evaporator hose assembly from the evaporator core line fitting.
5. Disconnect the temperature sensor electrical connector.
6. Remove the upper filler panel. Refer to Filler Panel Replacement - Upper in Body Front End.



7. Disconnect the evaporator hose assembly from the condenser.
8. Remove the evaporator hose assembly.

Important: Inspect the sealing washers for damage.

1. Install the evaporator hose assembly to the vehicle.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
