INSPECTION

  1. CHECK HEATER RADIATOR FINS FOR BLOCKAGE If the fins are clogged, remove them with compressed air.
  2. CHECK FITTING FOR CRACKS OR SCRATCHES If necessary repair or replace.
  1. INSPECT AIR INLET SERVOMOTOR OPERATION (See «DTC 42 AIR INLET DAMPER CONTROL SERVOMOTOR CIRCUIT»(ref-215708-S08511526912006011800000) )
  2. INSPECT AIR INLET DAMPER POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT (See «DTC 32, 42 AIR INLET DAMPER POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT»(ref-215708-S06896182592006011800000) )
  1. INSPECT CONDENSER FINS FOR BLOCKAGE OR DAMAGE If the fins are clogged, wash them with water and dry with compressed air. NOTE: Be careful not to damage the fins. If the fins are bent, straighten them with a screwdriver or pliers.
  2. INSPECT CONDENSER AND FITTINGS FOR LEAKAGE Using a gas leak detector, check for leaks of refrigerant. If there is a leakage, check the tightening torque at the joints.

Torque: 22 N.m (225 kgf.cm, 16 ft.lbf) NOTE: Cap the open fittings immediately to keep moisture or dirt out of the system. HINT: At the time of installation, lubricate 2 new O-rings with compressor oil and install them on the discharge tube.
  5. DISCONNECT LIQUID TUBE Remove the bolt and disconnect the liquid tube. Torque: 10 N.m (100 kgf.cm, 7 ft.lbf) NOTE: Cap the open fittings immediately to keep moisture or dirt out of the system. HINT: At the time of installation, lubricate a new O-ring with compressor oil and install them on the liquid tube.
  6. REMOVE CONDENSER Remove the 4 bolts and the 2 upper bracket. Lift up the condenser, then remove the 4 bolts and the 2 lower bracket. Remove the 2 bolts and the 2 center bracket. Remove the condenser. HINT: At the time of installation, please refer to the following item. If condenser is replaced, add compressor oil to condenser. Add: 40 - 50 cc (1.4 - 1.7 fl.oz.) Compressor oil: ND-OIL 8 or equivalent
  1. CHECK EVAPORATOR FINS FOR BLOCKAGE If the fins are clogged, remove them with compressed air. NOTE: Never use water to clean the evaporator.
  2. CHECK FITTINGS FOR CRACKS OR SCRATCHES If necessary, repair or replace.
  3. INSPECT EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE CIRCUIT (See «DTC 13 FRONT EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR CIRCUIT»(ref-215708-S30390621242006011800000) )

HINT

The rear heater relay is built in the engine room junction block.

Since the relay is constructed with a relay block that is in the junction block as a unit, it is impossible to disconnect the wire harness connecting with the relay block.

If the relay has a malfunction, replace it with the junction block assembly wire harness together.
