INSPECTION
1.Check the condenser fins for clogging and damage. If clogged, clean them with water, and blow them with
compressed air. If bent, gently bend them using a screwdriver or pliers.
2. Check the condenser connections for leakage, and repair or replace it, if required.
REPLACEMENT
CONDENSER ASSEMBLY
1. Recover the refrigerant with a recovery/ recycling/ charging station (Refer to HA - 8).
2. Disconnect the negative ( - ) battery terminal.
3. Remove the radiator. (Refer to EM group)
4. Remove 2 bolts, and then remove the condenser (A) by lifting it up. Be careful not to damage the radiator and
condenser fins when removing the condenser.
5.Install in the reverse order of removal, and note these items :
a. If you're installing a new condenser, 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. Be careful not to damage the radiator and condenser fins when installing the condenser.
d. Be sure to install the lower mount cushions of condenser securely into the holes.
e. Charge the system, and test its performance. (Refer to HA - 9)
DESICCANT
1.Remove the condenser, and then remove the bottom cap (B) with L wrench (A) from the condenser.
TORQUE: 20~25N.m (2.0~2.5kgf•m, 14.5~18.2lb - ft)

2.Remove the desiccant (A) from condenser using a long nose plier. Check for crumbled desiccant and clogged
bottom cap filter.
3.Apply air conditioning compressor oil along the O - rings and threads of the new bottom cap.
4. Insert the new desiccant into the receiver drier tank. The desiccant must be sealed in vacuum before it is exposed
to air for use.
5. Install the new bottom cap to the condenser.
a.Always replace the desiccant and bottom cap at the same time.
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. Be careful not to damage the radiator and condenser fins when installing the condenser.
d. Be sure to install the lower mount cushions of condenser securely into the holes.
e. Charge the system, and test its performance. (Refer to HA - 10)

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.
