6. Lift the tab (A) to release the lock, then remove the outside air temperature sensor (B) from the receiver/dryer desiccant bracket. Disconnect the 2P
connector (C) then remove the clip (D).
7. Remove the A/C condenser (A). Be careful not to damage the radiator and A/C condenser fins when removing the A/C condenser.
8. Install the A/C condenser in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:
-
If you're installing a new A/C condenser, add refrigerant oil (SANDEN SP-10).
-
Replace the O-rings with new ones at each fining, and apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil before installing them. Be sure to use the correct
O-rings for HFC-134a (R-134a) to avoid leakage.
-
Immediately after using the oil, reinstall the cap on the container, and seal it to avoid moisture absorption.
-
Do not spill the refrigerant oil on the vehicle; it may damage the paint; if the refrigerant oil contacts the paint, wash it off immediately.
-
Charge the system.
