CONDENSER INSTALLATION

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Tech Tips


  • Centering bolts are used to mount the hood hinge to the vehicle body and hood. The hood cannot be adjusted with the centering bolts on. Substitute the centering bolts for standard bolts (with washers) when making adjustments.

  • A bolt without a torque specification is shown in the standard bolt chart.

  • Use the same procedure for RHD and LHD vehicles.

  • The procedure listed below is for LHD vehicles.

PROCEDURE


  1. INSTALL COOLER CONDENSER ASSEMBLY


    1. B000OR4

      Install the radiator assembly (for inverter coolant) to the cooler condenser assembly with the 2 bolts.

      Torque:
      9.0 N*m  { 92 kgf*cm, 80 in.*lbf }
    2. B000OHAC01
      B004B1M Install in the Direction

      Insert the cooler condenser assembly and radiator assembly (for inverter coolant) into the vehicle and into the guide.

      Note

      When inserting the cooler condenser assembly and radiator assembly (for Inverter Coolant), do not damage the cooler condenser assembly, radiator assembly (for Inverter Coolant) and radiator assembly.

    3. B000S3W

      Attach the claw to install the cooler condenser assembly with radiator assembly (for inverter coolant).

  2. CONNECT DISCHARGE HOSE SUB-ASSEMBLY


    1. Remove the vinyl tape from the discharge hose sub-assembly and the connecting part of the cooler condenser assembly.

    2. Sufficiently apply compressor oil to a new O-ring and the fitting surface of the hose joint.

      Compressor Oil
      ND-OIL 11 or equivalent

      Note

      Do not use any compressor oil other than ND-OIL 11 or equivalent. If any compressor oil other than ND-OIL 11 or equivalent is used, compressor motor insulation performance may decrease, resulting in leakage of electric power.

    3. B000T1X

      Install the O-ring to the discharge hose sub-assembly.

      Note

      Keep the O-rings and O-ring fitting surfaces free of foreign matter.

    4. Connect the discharge hose sub-assembly to the cooler condenser assembly with the bolt.

      Torque:
      5.4 N*m  { 55 kgf*cm, 48 in.*lbf }

      Note


      • Do not apply excessive force to the discharge hose sub-assembly.

      • Make sure not to cut the O-ring while installing it. (Cut O-rings cannot be installed)

  3. CONNECT LIQUID TUBE SUB-ASSEMBLY A


    1. Remove the vinyl tape from the liquid tube sub-assembly A and the connecting part of the cooler condenser assembly.

    2. Sufficiently apply compressor oil to a new O-ring and the fitting surface of the tube joint.

      Compressor Oil
      ND-OIL 11 or equivalent

      Note

      Do not use any compressor oil other than ND-OIL 11 or equivalent. If any compressor oil other than ND-OIL 11 or equivalent is used, compressor motor insulation performance may decrease, resulting in leakage of electric power.

    3. B000S7C

      Install the O-ring to the liquid tube sub-assembly A.

      Note

      Keep the O-rings and O-ring fitting surfaces free of foreign matter.

    4. Connect the liquid tube sub-assembly A and No. 1 cooler refrigerant hose bracket to the cooler condenser assembly with the 2 bolts.

      Torque:
      5.4 N*m  { 55 kgf*cm, 48 in.*lbf }

      Note


      • Do not apply excessive force to the liquid tube sub-assembly A.

      • Make sure not to cut the O-ring while installing it. (Cut O-rings cannot be installed)

  4. CONNECT NO. 3 INVERTER COOLING HOSE


    1. B000RAJC01
      *a View A
      *b Marking (Yellow)
      *c Hose Clip Installation Angle (120°)

      Connect the No. 3 inverter cooling hose with its marking aligned with the positioning rib as shown in the illustration and install the hose clips within the range shown in the illustration.

      Note


      • Do not apply excessive force to the radiator assembly (for inverter coolant) or No. 3 inverter cooling hose.

      • Make sure the hose is securely inserted to the stopper. However, If the end of the hose is cut diagonally, it is acceptable for the entire circumference of the tip to not contact the stopper.

      • Install the hose clips 2 to 5 mm (0.0787 to 0.1969 in.) away from the end of the hose.

  5. CONNECT NO. 2 INVERTER COOLING HOSE


    1. B000OWXC01
      *a View A
      *b Marking (Yellow)
      *c Hose Clip Installation Angle (120°)

      Connect the No. 2 inverter cooling hose with its marking aligned with the positioning rib as shown in the illustration and install the hose clips within the range shown in the illustration.

      Note


      • Do not apply excessive force to the radiator assembly (for inverter coolant) or No. 2 inverter cooling hose.

      • Make sure the hose is securely inserted to the stopper. However, If the end of the hose is cut diagonally, it is acceptable for the entire circumference of the tip to not contact the stopper.

      • Install the hose clips 2 to 5 mm (0.0787 to 0.1969 in.) away from the end of the hose.
