1.Disconnect the air mix control cable from the heat
er unit (see page 21-27).
Remove the rear window delogger switch and the
hazard warning switch.
Remove the two self-tapping screws, then pull out
the heater control panel and the center air vent. Dis-
connect the connectors, and remove the heater con-
trol panel and the center air vent.
NOTE: The locking tabs of the hazard warning
switch and heater control panel connectors are on
the bottom.

This vehicle uses HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant which does not contain chlorofluorocarbons. Pay attention to the follow-ing service items:
. Do not mix refrigerants CFC-12 (R-12) and HFC-134a (R-134a). They are not compatible.. Use only the recommended polyalkyleneglycol (PAG) refrigerant oil (ND-OIL 8: P/N 38897-PR7-A01AH or 38899-PR7-A01) designed for the R-134a compressor. Intermixing the recommended (PAG) refrigerant oil with any other refriger-ant oil will result in compressor failure.
. All AVC system parts (compressor, discharge line, suction line. evaporator, condenser, receiver/dryer, expansion valve.O-rings for joints) have to be proper for refrigerant R-134a. Do not confuse with R-12 parts.
. Use a halogen gas leak detector designed for refrigerant R-134a.. R-12 and R-134a refrigerant servicing equipment are not interchangeable. Use only a Recovery/Recycling/ChargingSystem that is U.L.-listed and is certified to meet the requirements of SAE J2210 to service R-134a air conditioning sys-tems.
. Always recover the refrigerant R-134a with an approved Recovery/Recycling/Charging System before disconnectingany Ay'C fitting.

A/C Service Tips and Precautions
The air conditioner system uses HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant and polyalkyleneglycol {PAG) refrigerant oil (ND-OlL 8: P/N
38897-PR7-A01AH or 38899 - PR7 - A01), which are not compatible with CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and mineral oil. Do not
use R-12 refrigerant or mineral oil in this system. and do not attempt to use R-12 servicing equipment; damage to the air
conditioner system or your servicing equipment will result.
Use only service equipment that is U.L.-listed and is certified to meet the requirements of SAE J2210 to remove R-l34a
from the air conditioner system.
CAUTION: Exposure to air conditioner refrigerant and lubricant vapor ot mist can irritate eyos, nose.nd throat, Avoid
breathing th€ air conditionsr rofrigerant 8nd lubricant vapo. or mist.
lf accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming service.
R-134a service equipment or vehicle air conditioner systems should not be pressure tested or leak tested with comp.essed
atf,
@ some mixtures ol air and R-13i[a have been shown to be combustible at olevat6d pre3sures and cln resuh
in fire or explosion causing iniury or property damage. Nover uso compressed air to prossure te3t R-13,[8 service equip-
ment or vehicle air condition6r systems.
Additional health and safety information may be obtained from the refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers,
1. Always disconnect the negative cable from the battery whenever replacing air conditioning parts.
2. Keep moisture and dust out of the system. When disconnecting any lines. plug or cap the Jittings immediately; don't
remove the caps or plugs until just before you reconnect each line.
3. Before connecting any hose or line, apply a few drops of refrigerant oilto the O-ring,
4. When tightening or loosening a fitting, use a second wrench to support the matching fitting.
5. When recovering the system. use a R-134a refrigerant Recovery/Recycling/Charging System; don't release refrigerant
into the atmosphere.
6. Add refrigerant oil after replacing the following parts.
NOTE:
. To avoid contamination, do not return the oil tothe container once dispensed, and never mix itwith other refriger-
ant oils.
.lmmediatelyafterusingtheoil,replacethecaponthecontainerandseal it to avoid moisture absorption.
. Do notspillthe refrigerant oil onthevehicle; it maydamagethe painu itthe refrigerant oil contacts the paint, wash
it off immediately.

Handling Wires and Harnesses
I Secure wires and wire harnesses to the frame with
their respective wire ties at the designated locations.
a Remove clips carefully; don't damage their locks.
Slip pliers under the clip base and through the hole at an
angle, then squeez€ the expansion tabs to release the
clro.
sNAP-R|NG PLtERS
After installing harness clips, make sure the harness
doesn't interlere with any moving parts.
Keep wire harnesses away from exhaust pipes and
other hot parts, trom sharp edges ol brackets and
holes, and from exposed screws and bolts.

Testing and Repairs
a Do not use wires or harnesses with broken insulation.
Replace them or repair them by wrapping the break
with electrical tape.
a Atter installing parts. make sure that no wires are
oinched under them.
a When using electrical test equipment. follow the
manulacturer's instructions and those described in
this manual.
a lI possible, insert the probe of the tester {rom the wire
side {except waterproot connector).
a Seat grommets in their grooves properly.
a Use a probe with a tapered tip.
Reler to the instructions in the Honda Terminal Kit for
