5) Disconnect coupler from dual pressure switch (1).
6) Disconnect condenser outlet pipe (3).
7) Disconnect condenser cooling fan motor coupler (2).
8) Remove condenser with fan.
NOTE:
Be careful not to damage fins of condenser and radiator.
9) Remove A / C condenser cooling fan assembly from condenser.
INSTALLATION
Reverse removal sequence to install condenser, noting following
point.
1) When replacing condenser, add 20 to 30 cc of refrigerating oil
from compressor suction-side.
2) Evacuate and charge system according to previously-described
procedure.

INSPECTION
Remove condenser assembly (Refer to ªA / C CONDENSER AS-
SEMBLY REMOVALº in this section).
Check continuity between terminal to terminal as shown.
If check results are continuity, proceed to next operation check.
If not, replace.
Connect battery to condenser fan motor as shown, then check
that the condenser fan motor operates smoothly and specified
current.
Specified current: Maximum 12 A at 12 V
