Heater Unit/Core Replacement
SRS components are located in this area. Review the SRS component locations and the precautions and procedures before doing repairs or service.
1. Make sure you have the anti-theft codes for the audio system and navigation system (if equipped).
2. Make sure the ignition is OFF, then disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
3. Disconnect the suction and receiver lines from the evaporator core.
4. From under the hood, open the cable clamp (A), then disconnect the heater valve cable (B) from the heater valve arm (C). Turn the heater valve
arm to the fully opened position as shown.
5. When the engine is cool, drain the engine coolant from the radiator.
6. Slide the hose clamps (A) back. Remove the bolt and water valve bracket, then disconnect the inlet heater hose (B) and the outlet heater hose (C)
from the heater unit.
Engine coolant will run out when the hoses are disconnected; drain it into a clean drip pan. Be sure not to let coolant spill on the electrical parts or
the painted surfaces. If any coolant spills, rinse it off immediately.
