DISASSEMBLY
1. REMOVE A/C AMPLIFIER
2. REMOVE RELAY
3. REMOVE WIRE HARNESS
4. REMOVE BLOWER RESISTOR
Remove the 2 screws and blower resistor.
5. SEPARATE UPPER AND LOWER UNIT CASES
(a) Using a knife, cut off the each packing.
(b) Remove 3 clips and 4 screws.
(c) Separate the upper and lower unit cases.
6. REMOVE EVAPORATOR FROM LOWER UNIT CASE
HINT:
If the evaporator was replaced, add compressor oil to the com-
pressor.
Add 40 cc (1.4 fl.oz.)
Compressor oil:
ND−OIL 8 or equivalent
7. REMOVE THERMISTOR
Pull out the thermistor from the evaporator.
8. REMOVE EXPANSION VALVE
Using a hexagon wrench, remove the 2 bolts and separate the
expansion valve and evaporator. Torque: 5.4 N·m (55 kgf·cm, 48 in.·lbf)
HINT:
At the time of reassembly, lubricate 4 new O−rings with com-
pressor oil and install the tubes.

(a) Disconnect the amplifier and inspect the connector on the
wire harness side, as shown in the chart below.
Test conditions:
Ignition switch ON
A/C switch ON
Temperature control lever MAX COOL
Blower control switch HI
Tester connectionConditionSpecifeid condition

5 − GroundStop engineNo voltage
If circuit is as specified, try replacing the amplifier with a new
one. If the circuit is not as specified, inspect the circuits con-
nected to other parts.
(b) Connect the connector to A/C amplifier and inspect wire
harness side connector from the back side, as shown in
the chart below.
Test conditions:
Ignition switch ON
A/C switch ON
Temperature control lever MAX COOL
Blower control switch HI
