PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE
Before replacing or repairing air conditioning components, first determine if the malfunction is due to the refrigerant
charge, air flow or compressor.
Use the table below to help you find the cause of the problem. The numbers indicate the priority of the likely cause of
the problem. Check each part in order. If necessary, replace these parts.
After correcting the malfunction, check the complete system to ensure that performance is satisfactory.

DESCRIPTION
1.In- car air temperature sensor is located at the center facia lower panel.
2. The sensor contains a thermistor which measures the temperature of the inside. The signal decided by the
resistance value which changes in accordance with perceived inside temperature, is delivered to heater control unit
and according to this signal the control unit regulates incar temperature to intended value.
3. It perceives the inside temperature, changes the resistance value, and enters the corresponding voltage into the
automatic temperature control module.
4. It will used for discharge temperature control, sensor failsafe, temperature door control, blower motor level control,
and A/C auto control.

2007 > 2.7L V6 GASOLINE >
DESCRIPTION
1.Water temperature sensor is located at the heater unit.
2. It detects coolant temperature. Its signal is used for cold engine lockout control. When the driver operates the
heater before the engine is warmed up, the signal from sensor causes the heater control unit to reduce blower
motor speed until coolant temperature reaches the threshold value.

REPLACEMENT
1.Disconnect the negative ( - ) battery terminal.
2. Recover the refrigerant with a recovery/ recycling/ charging station. (Refer to HA - 8)
3. When the engine is cool, drain the engine coolant from the radiator.
4. Remove the bolts (A) and the expansion valve (B) from the evaporator core.
Plug or cap the lines immediately after disconnecting them to avoid moisture and dust contamination.
5.Disconnect the inlet (A) and outlet (B) heater hoses from the heater unit.
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 electrical parts or painted surfaces. If any coolant spills, rinse it off immediately.
6. Remove the crash pad (Refer to BD group).
7. Remove the cowl cross bar assembly. (Refer to BD group)
8. Disconnect the connectors from the temperature control actuator, the mode control actuator and the evaporator
temperature sensor.
9. Remove the heater & blower unit after loosening 3 mounting bolts.

10.Remove the blower unit (B) from heater unit after loosening 2 screws.
11.Remove the self - tapping screws (A) and remove the PTC heater unit (B) or cover. (In case of PTC heater)
12.Remove the heater core (B) after remove the cover (A).
13.Loosen a screw and then remove the heater unit cover(A).

14.Remove the evaporator core(A).
15.Be careful that the inlet and outlet pipe are not bent during heater core removal, and pull out the heater core.
16. Install the heater core in the reverse order of removal.
17. Installation is the reverse order of removal, and note these items :
a. If you're installing a new evaporator, add refrigerant oil (ND - OIL8).
b. 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 right O - rings for R- 134a to avoid leakage.
c. Immediately after using the oil, replace the cap on the container, and seal it to avoid moisture absorption.
d. Do not spill the refrigerant oil on the vehicle ; it may damage the paint ; if the refrigerant oil contacts the paint,
wash it off immediately
e. Apply sealant to the grommets.
f. Make sure that there is no air leakage.
g. Charge the system and test its performance.
h. Do not interchange the inlet and outlet heater hoses and install the hose clamps securely.
i. Refill the cooling system with engine coolant.
