Note. The air filter cannot be reused by cleaning it with water or compressed air.

EVAPORATOR INSPECTION

  1. Remove the A/C unit. (See «A/C UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION»(ref-517465-S12168246342012121200000) .)
  2. Remove the evaporator from the A/C unit.
  3. Inspect for cracks, damage, and oil leakage. If any problems are found, replace the evaporator.
  4. Inspect for bent fins. If any are bent, use a flathead screwdriver to straighten them.

HEATER CORE INSPECTION

  1. Remove the A/C unit. (See «A/C UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION»(ref-517465-S12168246342012121200000) .)
  2. Remove the heater core from the A/C unit.
  3. Inspect for cracks, damage, and coolant leakage. If any problems are found, replace the heater core.
  4. Inspect for bent fins. If any are bent, use a flathead screwdriver to straighten them.
  5. Verify that the heater core inlet and outlet pipe are not distorted or damaged. Repair with pliers if necessary.
