NOTES:
- A/C system components identified with an * must only be serviced or replaced after discharging refrigerant system.
- A/C system components not identified with an * can be serviced or replaced without discharging refrigerant system.
- Discharging refrigerant system, A/C System, Discharging
- A/C system cooling performance test, Testing and Inspection
- Refrigerant system pressure test, Testing and Inspection
- A/C system components, engine compartment, Locations
- Zexel A/C compressors are installed from start of production. During m.y. 1996, Nippondenso compressors are installed as a running change
- Replacement A/C compressors are filled with 250 cc (8.5 fl oz) of A/C refrigerant (PAG) oil. This is the total A/C refrigerant system oil capacity
- Do Not top-off a charged refrigerant system. Instead, discharge, evacuate and recharge system.
NOTE: A/C system components identified with an * must only be serviced or replaced after discharging refrigerant system.
