COMPRESSOR (for 2AR-FE) REMOVAL

RECOVER REFRIGERANT FROM REFRIGERATION SYSTEM

Operate the cooler compressor under the conditions shown below:

Item	Condition	Indicator
Operating Time	3 minutes or more	-
Temperature setting	Max cool	-
Blower speed	High
Engine	Idling	-
A/C switch	On

This causes most of the compressor oil from the various components of the A/C system to collect in the A/C compressor.

Tech Tips

It is not necessary to operate the cooler compressor if the A/C does not operate because of compressor lock, etc.

Stop the engine.
Recover the refrigerant from the A/C system using a refrigerant recovery unit.

Tech Tips

Use the refrigerant recovery unit in accordance with the manufacturer's instruction manual.
