| Replacement |
| 1. | If the compressor is marginally operable, run the engine at idle speed, and let the air conditioning work for a few minutes, then shut the engine off. |
| 2. | Disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal. |
| 3. | Recover the refrigerant with a recovery / charging station.
|
| 4. | Remove the engine cover. (Refer to Engine Mechanical System - "Engine Cover") |
| 5. | Remove the engine mounting support bracket. (Refer to Engine Mechanical System - "Engine Mounting") |
| 6. | Remove the bolts and the expansion valve (A) from the evaporator core.
|
| 7. | Remove the 2 nuts, and then disconnect the discharge line (A) and liquid line (B) from the condenser.
|
| 8. | Disconnect the A/C pressure transducer connector (A).
|
| 9. | Remove the engine room under cover. (Refer to Engine Mechanical System - "Engine Room Under Cover") |
| 10. | Remove the bolts, then disconnect the suction line (A) and discharge line (B) from the compressor.
|
| 11. | Loosen the bracket mounting bolt (B) from suction& liquid assembly (A).

DescriptionThe evaporator temperature sensor will detect the evaporator core temperature and interrupt compressor relay power in order to prevent evaporator from freezing by excessive cooling. The evaporator temperature sensor has the Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC).
High Voltage Shut-off Procedures • Be sure to read and follow the "General Safety Information and Caution" before doing any work related with the high voltage system. Failure to follow the safety instructions may result in serious electrical injuries.
