Heater Unit/Core Replacement
SRS components are located in this area. Review the
SRS component locations (see page 23'13), and
precautions and procedures (see page 23-14) in the SRS
section before performing repairs or service.
1. Make sure you have the anti-theft code forthe radio,
then write down the freouencies for the radio's
Dreset buttons.

Disconnect the negative cable from the battery,
Disconnect the suction and receiver lines from the
evaporator core (see page 21-42).
From under the hood, open the cable clamp (A),
then disconnect the heater valve cable (B) from the
heater valve arm (C). Turn the heater valve arm to
the fully opened position as shown
When the engine is cool, drain the engine coolant
from the radiator (see page 10-6).
6. Slide the hose clamps (A) back, the n d isconnect the
inlet heater hose (B) and the outlet heater hose (C)
from the heater core. Engine coolant will run out
when the hoses are disconnected; drain it into a
clean drip pan. Be sure not to let coolant spill on
the electrical parts or the painted surfaces. lf any
coolant spills, rinse it off immediately.
Remove the bolt and the heater valve, then remove

9. Installthe compressor in the reverse order of
removal, and note these items:
. Before installing the new compressor, check for
metal or other contamination in the line. Replace
any contaminated parts.. lf you're installing a newcompressor, you must
calculate the amount of refrigerant oil to be
removed from it (see page 21-6).. Replace the O-rings with new ones at each fitting,
and apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil before
installing them. Be sure to use the correct O-rings
for HFC-134a {R-134a) to avoid leakage,. Use refrigerant oil (KElHlN SP-'10) for HFC-134a
KEIHIN spiral type compressor only.. To avoid contaminatlon, do not return the oilto
the container once dispensed, and never mix it
with other refrigerant oils.. lmmediately after using the oil, reinstallthe cap
on the container, and seal it to avoid moisture
absorption.. Do not spill the refrigerant oil on the vehicle; it
may damage the paint. lf the refrlgerant oil
contacts the paint, wash it off immediately.. Charge the system (see page 21-55).. Do the engine control module (ECM) idle learn
