Evaporator Core: Service and Repair
Rear A/C Evaporator - Installation
INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Be certain to adjust the refrigerant oil level when servicing the A/C refrigerant system See: Specifications/Capacity
Specifications/Refrigerant Oil Capacity . Failure to properly adjust the refrigerant oil level will prevent the A/C system from
operating as designed and can cause serious A/C compressor damage.
NOTE: When replacing multiple A/C system components, refer to the Refrigerant Oil Capacities chart to determine how much oil should be
added to the refrigerant system See: Specifications/Capacity Specifications/Refrigerant Oil Capacity .
NOTE: If only the A/C evaporator is being replaced, add 30 milliliters (1 fluid ounce) of refrigerant oil to the refrigerant system. Use only
refrigerant oil of the type recommended for the A/C compressor in the vehicle.
NOTE: Replacement of the refrigerant line O-ring seals and gaskets is required anytime a refrigerant line is disconnected. Failure to replace
the rubber O-ring seals and metal gaskets could result in a refrigerant system leak.
NOTE: If the insulator around the A/C evaporator or evaporator tubes is deformed or damaged, the insulator must be replaced.
1. Carefully install the rear A/C evaporator (1) into the outboard half of the rear heater-A/C housing (3).
NOTE: If the rubber seal is deformed or damaged, the seal must be replaced.
2. If removed, install the rubber seal (2) into the groove in the rear heater-A/C housing.
3. Assemble the rear heater-A/C housing See: Housing Assembly HVAC/Service and Repair/Overhaul/Assembly/Front HVAC Housing.
4. Install the rear heater-A/C housing See: Housing Assembly HVAC/Service and Repair/Removal and Replacement/Front HVAC Housing
Installation.
5. If the rear A/C evaporator is being replaced, add 30 milliliters (1 fluid ounce) of refrigerant oil to the refrigerant system. When replacing multiple
A/C system components, refer to the Refrigerant Oil Capacities chart to determine how much oil should be added to the refrigerant system See:
Specifications/Capacity Specifications/Refrigerant Oil Capacity. Use only refrigerant oil of the type recommended for the A/C compressor in the
vehicle.
