A/c Compressor 5 illustrations ~279 words

Oil Specification

  1. The HFC-134a system requires synthetic (PAG) compressor oil whereas the R-12 system requires mineral compressor oil. The two oils must never be mixed.
  2. Compressor (PAG) oil varies according to compressor model. Be sure to use oil specified for the model of compressor.

TEMPERATURE, VOLTAGE, AND RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONS

  1. 4. If the measured resistance is not specification, substitute with a known-good evaporator temperature sensor and check for proper operation.
  2. 5. If the problem is corrected, replace the evaporator temperature sensor.

  1. Disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal.
  2. Remove the crash pad. (For Coupe, refer to «CRASH PAD»(ref-362224-S30236245892010060400000) . For Sedan, refer to «CRASH PAD»(ref-362245-S13817783762010060400000) .)
  3. Disconnect the connector of in-car sensor (A). Loosen the mounting 2 screws and then remove the in-car sensor.
  4. Installation is the reverse order of removal.
