ISSUE:
A lack of A/C cooling may be caused by a chafed through discharge hose. The A/C discharge hose is routed underneath the air bag center crash sensor
which is mounted at the center of the top radiator support. During engine roll, the A/C discharge may be cut or chafed through resulting in loss of
refrigerant charge.
ACTION:
Install a new A/C bracket and reposition the A/C discharge hose. Refer to the following procedure for service details.
