| 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.

DescriptionThe auto defogging sensor is installed on front window glass. The sensor judges and sends signal if moisture occurs to blow out wind for defogging. The air conditioner control module receives a signal from the sensor and restrains moisture and eliminates defog by the intake actuator, A/C, auto defogging actuator, blower motor rpm and mod
