NorE: The items m arked * 1, *2, +3, *4 and +5 on above chan are described as folows:*1: Always use Genuine Honda Manual Transmission Fluid (MTF). Using motor oil can cause stiffer shifting because itdoes not contain the proper additives.*2: Always use Genuine Honda premium Formula Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF). Using a non-Honda ATF can affectshift quality.+3: Use Genuine Honda cVTfluid only usingotherfluid can affect tra nsmission operation and may reduce transmission life.*4: Always use Genuine Honda DoT3 Brake Fluid. Using a non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and dec.ease the lifeof the svstem.*5: Always use Genuine Honda Power steering Fluid. using any other type of power steering fluid or automatrc transmissionfluid can cause increased wear and poor steering in cold weather.

Overhaul
1.
3.
Pull out the A,/C thermostat sensor from the evapo-
rator fins.
Remove the self-tapping screws and clamps from
the housings.
Carefully separate the housings, then remove the
evaporator.
lf necessary, remove the expansion valve.
NOTE: When loosening the expansion valve nuts, use
a second wrench to hold the expansion valve or the
evaporator pipe. Otherwise, they can be damaged
5. Assemble in the reverse order of disassembly Make
note of following items.
. Replace the O-rings with new ones at each fitting,
and apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil before
installing them.
NOTE: Be sure to use the right O-rings for HFC-
134a (R-134a) to avoid leakage.
. Install the expansion valve capillary tube so that
it is in direct contact with the suction line. Then
wrap wath taPe.
. Reinstall the Ay'C thermostat sensor to its original
location.

lows.
. Remove the nut and the washer.
NOTE: When tightening the nut of the left front
mount, make sure the washer is set properly on
the left front engine mount as shown.
. Remove the four mounting bolts and the com-
pressor bracket.

10. lnstall in the reverse order of removal. Make note of
the following items.
. lf you're installing a new compressor, drain all
the refrigerant oil from the removed compressor,
and measure its volume. Subtract the volume of
drained oil from '130m? 14 1/3 tl'o2,4 6 lmp'oz);
the result is the amount of oil you should drain
from the new compressor (through the suction
fifting).
. Replace the O-rings with new ones at each fit-
ting, and apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil
before installing them
NOTE: Be sure to use the right O-rings for HFC-
134a (R-134a) to avoid leakage
. Use refrigerant oil (SP-10) for R-134a Sanden and
Hadsys spiral type compressors only'
o To avoid contamination, do not return the oil to
the container once dispensed, and never mix it
with other refrigerant oils.
. lmmediatelY after using the oil, replace the cap
on the container, and seal it to avoid moisture
absorption.
. Do not spill the refrigerant oil on the vehicle; it
may damage the painu if the refrigerant oil con-
tacts the paint, wash it off immediately
. Adjust the Ay'C compressor belt (see page 22-43)
and the power steering pump belt (see section 17)'
. Charge the system (see page 22-46), and test its
oerformance (see Page 22-241

lf you're installing a new compressor. drain all therefrigerant oil from the removed compressor. andmeasure its volume. Subtract the volume ofdrained oil from '140 ml (4 28 fl{,z, 4.9 lmpoz); theresult is the amount of oil you should drain fromthe new compressor (through the suction fifting).Replace the O-rings with new ones at each fining,and apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil beforeinstalling them. Be sure to use the right O,ringsfor HFC-134a (R-134a) to avoid leakage.
Use refrigerant oil {DENSO, ND-OtL8) for HFC-134aDENSO piston type compressors only.To avoid contamination, do not return the oil tothe container once dispensed, and never mix itwith other refrigerant oils.
lmmediately after using the oil, replace the capon the container, and seal it to avoid moisture
absorption.
Do not spill the refrigerant oil on the vehicle; itmay damage the paint; if the refrigerant oil con-tacts the paint, wash it off immediatelv.
Adjust the ly'C compressor belt (see page 22-43)and the power steering pump belt (see section 17).Charge the system (see page 22-46), and test itsperformance (see page 22-24!..
