With the receiver/drier cartridge removed, reinstall the receiver/drier plug and snap ring into the condenser core.
6. NOTE: Do not evacuate or charge the refrigerant system at this time.
Install the condenser core back into the vehicle and completely reassemble the vehicle except for the condenser outlet fitting.
7. NOTICE: The flexible extension adapters included in the A/C Flush Adapter Kit (219-00074) are designed for low-pressure flushing and
are not designed for use with a charged refrigerant system. Do not make the condenser fitting connections using the flexible extension
adapters or damage to the adapters and loss of refrigerant will occur.
NOTE: Use flexible refrigerant hose of 17,238 kPa (2,500 psi) burst rating.
Using the correct adapters and service hoses, install the pancake filter between the condenser outlet and the condenser outlet fitting.
8. Lubricate the refrigerant system with the correct amount of clean PAG oil. For additional information, refer to Refrigerant Oil Adding See:
Heating and Air Conditioning/Service and Repair/Refrigerant Oil Adding.
9. Evacuate and charge the refrigerant system. For additional information, refer to Air Conditioning (A/C) System Recovery, Evacuation and
Charging See: Heating and Air Conditioning/Service and Repair/Air Conditioning (A/C) System Recovery, Evacuation and Charging.
10. Provide adequate airflow to the front of the vehicle (with a fan, if necessary). Start the engine and allow it to idle briefly. Select A/C operation and
set the blower speed to HI. Verify that the A/C is operating correctly.
11. Gradually bring the engine up to 1,200 rpm by running it at lower rpms for short periods (first at 800 rpm, then at 1,000 rpm). Set the engine at
1,200 rpm and run it for one hour with the A/C system operating.
12. Stop the engine.
13. Recover the refrigerant. For additional information, refer to Air Conditioning (A/C) System Recovery, Evacuation and Charging See: Heating and
Air Conditioning/Service and Repair/Air Conditioning (A/C) System Recovery, Evacuation and Charging.
14. Remove the pancake filter, hoses and adapter from the vehicle.
15. Remove the condenser core.
16. Remove and discard the receiver/drier plug snap ring and the receiver/drier plug.
17. Install a new receiver/drier cartridge.
18. NOTE: The vehicle should be fully assembled at the completion of this step.
Install the condenser core.
19. Evacuate, leak test and charge the refrigerant system. For additional information refer to Air Conditioning (A/C) System Recovery, Evacuation and
Charging See: Heating and Air Conditioning/Service and Repair/Air Conditioning (A/C) System Recovery, Evacuation and Charging.
