COMPRESSOR(for AWD) INSTALLATION

PROCEDURE


  1. ADJUST COMPRESSOR OIL


    1. B004VDD

      When replacing the compressor with motor assembly with a new one, gradually discharge the inert gas from the service valve, and drain the following amount of oil from the new compressor with motor assembly before installation.

      Standard
      30 cc (1.01 fl.oz) from new compressor with motor assembly.

      Note


      • If a new compressor with motor assembly is installed without removing some oil, there will be too much oil in the system due to the oil remaining in the pipes of the vehicle. Excessive oil in the system prevents heat exchange in the refrigeration cycle and causes ineffective cooling.

      • If the amount of oil remaining in the old compressor with motor assembly is too small, check the air conditioning system for oil leaks.

      • Be sure to use ND-OIL 11 or equivalent compressor oil. If any compressor oil other than ND-OIL 11 is used, compressor with motor assembly insulation performance may decrease, resulting in leakage of electric power.

    4. B004X0WC01
      *a Green-colored Lock
      B004UK4 Connector (A)
      B004XCB Slide

      Connect the connector (A) and slide the green-colored lock as shown in the illustration to lock it securely.

      CAUTION:

      Make sure to wear insulating gloves.

      Note

      Make sure that the connector is connected securely.

  4. CONNECT DISCHARGE HOSE SUB-ASSEMBLY


    1. Remove the vinyl tape from the discharge hose sub-assembly and connecting part of the compressor with motor assembly.

    2. Sufficiently apply compressor oil to a new O-ring and the fitting surface of the compressor with motor assembly.

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

      Note

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

    4. B004ROJ

      Connect the discharge hose sub-assembly to the compressor with motor assembly with the bolt.
