Recover the refrigerant with a recovery/recycling/
charging station (see page 21-53).
Remove the front bumper {see page 20-85).
Remove the bolts, then disconnect the discharge
line (A) and the condenser line (B) from the
condenser. Plug or cap the lines immediately after
disconnecting them to avoid moisture and dust
conlamtnaflon.

5.lnstallthe condenser in the reverse order of
removal, and note these items.
. lf you're installing a newcondenser, add
refrigerant oil (KElHlN SP- 10) lsee 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.. lmmediately after using the oil, reinstallthe cap
on the container, and seal it to avoid moisture
absorption.. Do not spillthe refrigerant oil onthevehicle;it
may damage the paint. lf the refrigerant oil
contacts the paint, wash it off immediately.. Be careful not to damage the radiator or the
condenser fins when installing the condenser.. Charge the system (see page 21-55).

Heating and Air Conditioning
A/C System Tests (cont'd)
1.
Performance Test
Air conditioning refrigerant or lubricant vapor
can irritate your eyes, nose, or throar.
Be carefulwhen connecting service equipment.
Do not breathe refrigerant or vapor.
The performance test will help determine if the air
conditioner system is operating within specifications.
Use only service equipment that is U.L.-listed and is
cenified to meet the requirements of SAE J2210 toremove HFC-134a (R-134alfrom the air conditioning
system.
lf accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate the
work area before resuming service
R-134a service equipment or vehicle air conditioning
systems should not be pressure tested or leak testedwith compressed air.
Additional health and safety information may be
obtained from the refrigerant and lubricant
manufacturers.
Connect a R-134a refrigerant recover/recycling/
charging station to the high-pressure service port
and the low-pressure service port, following the
equipment manufacturer's instructions.
Determine the relative humidity and air
Iemperaru re.
' Compressed air mixed with R-134a forms a
combustible vapor.. The vapor can burn or explode causing serious
Injury.. Never use compressed air to pressure test
R-134a service equipment or vehicle air
conditioning systems.

4.
Open the glove box. Remove both glove box stops,
then let the glove box hang down (see page 20-63).
Insert a thermometer (A) in the center vent, andplace another thermometer {B) near the blower unit.
Test conditions:
. Avoid direct sunlight.. Open the hood.. Open the front doors.. Sel the temperature control dial on Max Cool, the
mode control dial on Vent, and the recirculation
control switch on Recirculate.. Turn the A,/C switch on and the fan switch on Max.. Run the engine at 750 rpm.. No driver or passengers in vehicle.
After running the air conditioning for I0 minutes
under the above test conditjons, read the delivery
temperature from the thermometer in the center
vent, the intake temperature near the blower unit,
and the high and low system pressure from the Ay'Cga uges.
