Removal Procedure
- Disconnect the negative battery cable.
- Discharge and recover the refrigerant from the system. Refer to Refrigerant Recovery and Recharging .
- Remove the evaporator tube from the evaporator.
- Remove the O-ring seal.
- Remove the evaporator tube from the receiver/dryer.
- Remove the O-ring seal.
Caution: Unless directed otherwise, the ignition and start switch must be in the OFF or LOCK position, and all electrical loads must be OFF before servicing any electrical component. Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent an electrical spark should a tool or equipment come in contact with an exposed electrical terminal. Failure to follow these precautions may result in personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or its components.
Installation Procedure
- Install the new O-ring seal.
- Install the evaporator tube to the evaporator.
- Install the new O-ring seal.
- Install the evaporator tube to the receiver/dryer.
- Connect the negative battery cable.
- Add the refrigerant to the system. Refer to Refrigerant Recovery and Recharging .
- Inspect the system for leaks. Refer to Leak Testing .
Coat the O-ring seal with 525 viscosity refrigerant oil.
Coat the O-ring seal with 525 viscosity refrigerant oil.
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.
Tighten
| • | Tighten the receiver/dryer connection to 17 N·m (13 lb ft). |
| • | Tighten the evaporator connection to 17 N·m (13 lb ft). |
