CONDENSER REMOVAL


  1. RECOVER REFRIGERANT FROM AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM


    1. Start the hybrid system.

    2. Operate the cooler compressor under the conditions show below:

      Item Condition
      Engine Speed Idling
      Operating Time 3 minutes or more
      A/C Switch Status ON
      Blower Switch Status HI
      Set Temperature MAX COOL

      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

      There is no need to operate the cooler compressor if the A/C does not operate because of compressor lock, etc.

    3. Stop the engine.

    4. 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.
