A/C Refrigerant Oil Replacement

3. Inspect the drive belt (see page 4-30).
4. Make sure no material is blocking the air flow to the
A/C condenser.
5. Check the dust and pollen filter. Replace it if it is clogged (see page 21-75).
6. Check for kinks or sharp bends in the A/C lines and hoses, which can greatly reduce system
performance. Replace A/C lines and hoses if they
are kinked or damaged (see page 21-8).
7. Start the engine, turn the air conditioning system on, and allow it to run for a few minutes and reach
stable operation.
 Check that the A/C operates at each position of the blower fan switch (except OFF). If the A/C
does not operate, refer to the symptom
troubleshooting.
 Check that the A/C compressor clutch (A) is engaged. The pressure plate should be rotating
at the same speed as the pulley. If the pressure
plate does not engage, refer to the symptom
troubleshooting.
 Check that the A/C condenser fan (B) and radiator fan (C) operate when the A/C compressor clutch
is engaged. If either fan fails to operate when the
A/C compressor clutch is engaged, refer to the
symptom troubleshooting.
 Check that the engine idle speed is correctly maintained when the A/C is switched on and off
and the A/C compressor clutch is engaged and
disengaged. Recommended PAG oil: SP-10
P/N 38897-P13-A01AH: 120 mL (4 fl·oz)
It is important to have the correct amount of refrigerant
oil in the A/C system to ensure proper lubrication of the
compressor. Too little oil damages the compressor; too
much oil reduces the cooling capacity of the system,
and can produce high vent temperatures.
 To avoid contamination, do not return the oil to the container once dispensed, and never mix it with other
refrigerant oils.
 Immediately after using the oil, reinstall 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 paint; if it gets on the paint, wash it off
immediately.
Add the recommended refrigerant oil in the amount
listed if you replace any of the following parts: ........

A/C condenser .50 mL (1 2/3 fl·oz)
Evaporator .40 mL (1 1/3 fl·oz)

Leakage repair .25 mL (5/6 fl·oz)
A/C compressor .Since the oil separator is
equipped inside the compressor
for this vehicle, oil drainage is
unnecessary at the time of
compressor replacement.

The air conditioning (A/C) system removes heat from the passenger compartment by transferring heat from the
ambient air to the evaporator. The A/C system refrigerant expands in the evaporator, and the evaporator becomes
very cold and absorbs the heat from the ambient air. The blower fan pushes air across the evaporator where the heat
is absorbed, and then it blows the cool air into the passenger compartment.
This vehicle uses HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant, which does not contain chlorofluorocar bons. Pay attention to the
following service items:
 Do not mix refrigerants CFC-12 (R-12) and HFC-134a (R-134a). They are not compatible.
 Use only the recommended polyalkyleneglycol (PAG) refrigerant oil (SP-10) designed for the R-134a A/C compressor. Intermixing the recommended (PAG) refrigerant oil with any other refrigerant oil will result in A/C
compressor failure.
 All A/C system parts (A/C compressor, discharge line, suction line, evaporator, A/C condenser, receiver/dryer, expansion valve, O-rings for joints) are designed for refrigerant R-134a. Do not exchange with R-12 parts.
 Use a halogen gas leak detector designed for refrigerant R-134a.
 R-12 and R-134a refrigerant servicing equipment are not interchangeable. Use only a recovery/recycling/charging station that is U.L.-listed and is certified to meet the requirements of SAE J2210 to service the R-134a air
conditioning systems.
 Always recover refrigerant R-134a with an approved recovery/recycling/charging station before disc onnecting any
A/C fitting.

When the refrigerant is below
196 kPa (2.0 kgf/cm , 28 psi)
or above 3,138 kPa (32 kgf/cm ,
455 psi), the ECM/PCM turns the
compressor relay off to protect
the A/C compressor.
When the refrigerant is above
1,470 kPa (15.0 kgf/cm , 213 psi),
the A/C pressure sensor
switches the radiator and
A/C condenser fans to high speed.22
