PROCEDURE
ADJUST COMPRESSOR OIL
When replacing the compressor assembly with pulley with a new one, gradually discharge the inert gas (helium) from the service valve, and drain the following amount of oil before installation.
Note
If a new compressor assembly with pulley is installed without removing the same amount of compressor oil as is remaining in the pipes, the amount of compressor oil will be excessive. This prevents heat exchange in the refrigerant cycle and will cause the air conditioning system to malfunction.
A certain amount of compressor oil remains in the compressor assembly with pulley during circulation and the compressor may be damaged if the amount of compressor oil is more/less than this amount. Therefore, make sure to adjust the amount of compressor oil correctly.
If the amount of compressor oil remaining in the removed compressor assembly with pulley is excessively low, check for compressor oil leaks.
Do not race the engine before replacing the compressor assembly with pulley.
for HFC-134a (R134a): Make sure to use ND-OIL 8 or equivalent compressor oil.
for HFO-1234yf (R1234yf): Make sure to use ND-OIL 12 or equivalent compressor oil.
Remove the drain bolt (seal washer) from the removed compressor assembly with pulley.
Drain the compressor oil from the oil port of the removed compressor assembly with pulley as shown in the illustration.
Note
Make sure to drain the compressor oil from the oil port.
| *a | Oil Port | *b | Turn Clockwise |
Remove the drain bolt (seal washer) from the new compressor assembly with pulley.
Tech Tips
The drain bolt (seal washer) can be reused.
Drain the following amount of compressor oil from the oil port of the new compressor assembly with pulley as shown in the illustration.
| Standard |
|---|
| (The amount of oil in a new compressor assembly with pulley: 70 (+15) cc (2.37 (+0.51) fl.oz)) - (The amount of oil in the removed compressor assembly with pulley) = The amount of oil to be removed from the new compressor assembly with pulley. |
Note
Make sure to drain the compressor oil from the oil port.
Make sure to add the compressor oil from the oil port, not from the discharge or intake port.
If a tool is used to add compressor oil to the new compressor assembly with pulley, make sure that it is free of foreign matter.
If the amount of compressor oil remaining in the removed compressor assembly with pulley cannot be estimated because the compressor was damaged and oil was discharged due to a frontal collision, etc., install the new compressor assembly with pulley without removing any oil. If the cooler condenser assembly is also replaced, do not add the specified amount of compressor oil for cooler condenser assembly replacement (40 cc (1.35 fl.oz)).
| *a | Oil Port | *b | Turn Clockwise |
Install the drain bolt (seal washer) to the new compressor assembly with pulley.
Note
Make sure that there is no damage or foreign matter on the seal washer edge.
INSTALL COMPRESSOR ASSEMBLY WITH PULLEY
Using an E8 "TORX" socket wrench, temporarily install the compressor assembly with pulley with the 2 stud bolts.
Install the compressor assembly with pulley with the 2 bolts and 2 nuts.
Tech Tips
Tighten the bolts and nuts in the order shown in the illustration.
Connect the wire harness clamp bracket with the bolt.
Connect the connector.
CONNECT SUCTION HOSE
Remove the vinyl tape from the suction hose and compressor assembly with pulley.
Sufficiently apply compressor oil to a new O-ring and the fitting surface of the suction hose.
| Refrigerant | Compressor Oil |
|---|---|
| HFC-134a (R134a) | ND-OIL 8 or equivalent |
| HFO-1234yf (R1234yf) | ND-OIL 12 or equivalent |
Install the O-ring to the suction hose.
Connect the suction hose to the compressor assembly with pulley with the bolt.
CONNECT NO. 1 COOLER REFRIGERANT DISCHARGE HOSE
Remove the vinyl tape from the No. 1 cooler refrigerant discharge hose and compressor assembly with pulley.
Sufficiently apply compressor oil to a new O-ring and the fitting surface of the No. 1 cooler refrigerant discharge hose.
| Refrigerant | Compressor Oil |
|---|---|
| HFC-134a (R134a) | ND-OIL 8 or equivalent |
| HFO-1234yf (R1234yf) | ND-OIL 12 or equivalent |
Install the O-ring to the No. 1 cooler refrigerant discharge hose.
Connect the No. 1 cooler refrigerant discharge hose to the compressor assembly with pulley with the bolt.
INSTALL FRONT STABILIZER BAR
| *a | Identification Mark |
|
Front of the Vehicle |
|
RH Side |
Install the front stabilizer bar to the vehicle so that the identification mark is positioned on the right side of the vehicle.
Connect the front stabilizer link sub-assembly LH to the front stabilizer bar with the nut.
Tech Tips
If the ball joint turns together with the nut, use a 6 mm hexagon wrench to hold the stud bolt.
Use the same procedure for the RH side and LH side.
