A / C CONDENSER ASSEMBLY
INSPECTION
Check
a) condenser fins for blockage
b) condenser fittings for leakage
c) condenser fins for damage
Clogged condenser fins should be washed with water, and should
be dried with compressed air.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage condenser fins. If condenser fin is
bent, straighten it by using a screwdriver or pair of pliers. If
any leakage is found from fitting or tube, repair or replace
condenser.
REMOVAL
1) Disconnect negative (±) cable at battery.
2) Recover refrigerant by using recovery and recycling equipment.
Be sure to follow the instruction manual for the equipment.
The amount of compressor oil removed must be measured and
the same amount added to the system.
3) Remove front bumper assembly and remove lower stay (1) if
equipped (Refer to Section 9 ªBODY SERVICEº).
4) Disconnect compressor discharge hose (1) from condenser in-
let fittings.
CAUTION:
As soon as above hose and pipe are disconnected, cap
opened fittings so that moisture and dust do not enter
condenser.

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.

CONDENSER COOLING FAN ASSEMBLY
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

CONDENSER DRYER (RECEIVER / DRYER)
REMOVAL
1) Remove A / C condenser assembly (1) from vehicle (Refer to
ªA / C CONDENSER ASSEMBLY REMOVALº in this section.).
2) Remove the condenser dryer cap from condenser.
3) Remove the filter (1) from the condenser (2).
4) Remove the dryer (1) using a plier (2).
INSTALLATION
Reverse removal sequence to install condenser dryer, according to
instruction manual with supply parts.
NOTE:

When replacing condenser dryer, add 40 cc of refrigerating
oil the same as compressor oil.

Do not remove the dryer from the plastic bag until just before
inserting it into the receiver.

Install the condenser dryer (1) with its double-layer portion
facing the bottom of the receiver.

If condenser dryer cap installing is bolt type, tighten speci-
fied torque for its bolt.
Tightening Torque:
Cap: 12.5 N

COOLING UNIT (EVAPORATOR)
REMOVAL
1) Disconnect negative (±) cable at battery.
2) Disable air bag system. Refer to ªDisabling Air Bag Systemº in
Section 10B.
3) Recover refrigerant by using recovery and recycling equipment.
Be sure to follow the instruction manual for the equipment.
The amount of compressor oil removed must be measured and
the same amount added to the system.
4) For G16 and J20 engine
Disconnect suction pipe (1), and liquid pipe (2) from evaporator
(cooling unit).
CAUTION:
As soon as above hose and pipe are disconnected, cap
opened fittings so that moisture and dust may not enter
cooling unit.
5) Remove blower motor unit. Refer to Section 1A ªHEATER AND
VENTILATIONº.
6) Disconnect thermistor wire coupler.
7) Remove cooling unit (evaporator).
