Removal

Removal

1. Disconnect the vehicle battery.
2. Recover the refrigerant (Refer to ‘Recovery’, page 12-3-8).
3. Disconnect the A/C pipes from the receiver drier assembly. Remove and discard the ‘O’ rings. Install suitable blanking plugs.

Caution
Ensure open ends are plugged immediately after disconnecting refrigeration parts. If moist air or foreign material enters the refrigeration cycle, cooling ability will be lowered and abnormal noise or other faults may occur.

4. Remove bolts (x2) and withdraw the receiver drier assembly.
5. Recover the spacers and ferrules for reuse.

Installation

1. Install receiver drier assembly. Torque bolts to 2-3 Nm.
2. Connect the refrigerant lines. Torque to 2-3 Nm.

Install new ‘O’ rings to the A/C system connectors.

3. Charge the A/C system (Refer to ‘Charging’, page 12-3-8).
4. Connect the vehicle battery. Start the engine. Allow the engine cooling system to rise to normal running temperature.
5. Carry out A/C system actuator check and functional check to ensure correct operation (Refer to ‘A/C System Testing’, page 12-3-9).

Power Transistor

Inspection

1. Verify that the continuity between the power transistor terminals is as indicated in the table below.
   If there is any fault, replace the power transistor.

If the blower motor operation is not normal even though no fault can be verified, inspect the A/C module.

Removal

1. Disconnect the vehicle battery.
2. Remove the glove box.
3. Disconnect the wiring harness plug.
4. Remove the power transistor.
