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: Service and Repair/Refrigerant Oil Level
. 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: Service and Repair/Refrigerant Oil Level .
NOTE: If only the rear 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 is required anytime a refrigerant line or expansion valve is disconnected. Failure to
replace the rubber O-ring seals could result in a refrigerant system leak.
1. Install the rear A/C evaporator (4) into the rear heater-A/C housing (3). Guide the evaporator tubes (2) past the rear heater core tubes (1). Make
sure that the foam seals are properly installed on the evaporator.
2. Install the evaporator cover (3) onto the outboard side of the rear heater-A/C housing (2) and install the retaining screw (1). Tighten the screw to
1.2 Nm (10 in. lbs.).
