Scheme 50

Note. For disconnection of the SRS-ECU connectors(C-124, C-125, C-126), Slide the connector lock (white) shown in the illustration to the direction in the arrow, press the internal claw using the precision screwdriver, and then remove the connector (C-126) on the disconnected side.

Scheme 51

<< A >> AIR MIXING DAMPER CONTROL MOTOR, MODE SELECTION DAMPER CONTROL MOTOR, OUTSIDE/INSIDE AIR SELECTION DAMPER CONTROL MOTOR REMOVAL

Note. A normal plate-type ratchet driver is recommended.

Scheme 52

>> A << OUTSIDE/INSIDE AIR SELECTION DAMPER CONTROL MOTOR INSTALLATION

Install the outside/inside air selection damper control motor while pressing the outside/inside air selection damper from the hole of the blower motor.

<< B >> A/C COMPRESSOR REMOVAL

Take care not to spill any compressor oil when removing the compressor.

>> A << A/C COMPRESSOR AND CLUTCH ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION

If a new compressor is installed, first adjust the amount of oil according to the procedures described below, and then install the compressor.

Scheme 53

1. Measure the amount [X cm 3 (X fl.oz) of oil within the removed compressor.
2. Drain (from the new compressor) the amount of oil calculated according to the following formula, and then install the new compressor. New compressor oil amount = 70cm 3 (2.4 fl.oz) 70 cm 3 - X cm 3 = Y cm 3 (2.4 fl.oz. - X fl.oz. = Y fl.oz) NOTE: Y cm 3 (Y fl.oz) indicates the amount of oil in the refrigerant line, the condenser, the evaporator, etc. NOTE: When replacing the following parts at the same times as the compressor, subtract the rated oil amount of each part from Y cm 3 (Y fl.oz) and discharge from the new compressor.
3. Tighten A/C compressor and clutch assembly mounting bolts to the specified torque in the order of number shown in the illustration. Tightening torque: 23 ± 6 N.m (17 ± 4 ft-lb)

<< A >> SELF-LOCKING NUT REMOVAL

Use the special tools below to remove the self-locking nut.

Scheme 54

<< B >> ROTOR REMOVAL

Rotor can be removed by hand, but if it is difficult to remove it, use the guide (MB992623) and the side bearing puller (MB990810) as shown in the illustration.

Scheme 55

>> A << A/C COMPRESSOR HIGH PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE INSTALLATION

Check that O-ring is installed to the high-pressure relief and use the adjust torque wrench to install the high-pressure relief valve to the main body of the compressor.

>> C << ROTOR INSTALLATION

Install the rotor while pushing the inner wheel side slowly using the pusher (MB992624) and guide (MB992623).

Note. Insert the rotor in a direction perpendicular to the A/C compressor.

Scheme 56

Scheme 57

>> D << SNAP RING INSTALLATION

Using snap ring pliers, fit the snap ring so that the snap ring's tapered part is on the outside.

Scheme 58

>> E << SELF-LOCKING NUT INSTALLATION

Using a special tool, as when removing the nut, secure the armature and tighten the self-locking nut.

<< A >> HOSE AND PIPE REMOVAL

Plug the nipple of condenser, compressor, and expansion valve to prevent the entry of dust and dirt.
