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!..

Troubleshooting

Tips and Precautions
Bef ore Troubleshooting
. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay
box.
. Check the battery for damage, state of charge, and
clean and tight connections.
. Check the alternator belt tension.
CAUTION:
. Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery
ground cable has been disconneqted, otherwise you
will damage the alternator diodes.
. Do not attempt to crank the engine with the battery
ground cable loosely connecled or you will severely
damage the wiling,
Handling Connectois
. Make sure the connectors are clean and have no loose
wire terminals.
. Make sure multiple cavity connectors are packed with
grease (except watertight connectors)
. All connectors have push-down release type locks.
Some connectors have a clip on their side used to
attach them to a mount bracket on the body or on
another component. This clip has a pulltype lock.
Some mounted connectors cannot be disconnected
unless you first release the lock and remove the con-
nector from its mount bracket.
