1 1. Install in the reverse order of removal, and note thesertems:
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!..

Replace them or repair them by wrspping the break
with electricaltaoe.
. After installing parts, make sure that no wires arepinched under them.. When using electrical test equipment, follow the
manufacturer's instructions and those described in
this manual.
. lf possible, insert the probe of the tester from the
wire side (except waterproof connector).
. Seat grommets in their grooves properly.
. Use a probe with a tapered tip.
Refer to the instructions in the Honda Terminal Kit for
identification and replacement of connector termi-
