CAUTION:
Be certain to adjust the refrigerant oil level when servicing the A/C refrigerant system. Failure to properly adjust the refrigerant oil level will prevent the A/C system from operating as designed and can cause serious A/C compressor damage.
NOTE:
When replacing multiple A/C system components, refer to the Refrigerant Oil Capacities chart to determine how much oil should be added to the refrigerant system. Refer to OIL, REFRIGERANT, STANDARD PROCEDURE .
NOTE:
Replacement of the refrigerant line O-ring seals and gaskets is required anytime a refrigerant line or expansion valve is disconnected. Failure to replace the rubber O-ring seals and metal gaskets may result in a refrigerant system leak.
- Remove the tape or plugs from the opened underbody refrigerant line fittings and the rear evaporator and expansion valve ports.
- Lubricate NEW rubber O-ring seals with clean refrigerant oil and install them on the rear evaporator tube fittings. Use only the specified O-rings as they are made of a special material for the R-1234yf system. Use only refrigerant oil of the type recommended for the A/C compressor in the vehicle.
- Install the rear A/C expansion valve (2) to the rear A/C evaporator (1), which extends through the rear floor panel behind the right rear wheel housing.
- Install and tighten the rear expansion valve to evaporator bolts (3) to the proper. Refer to TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS .
- Lubricate NEW rubber O-ring seals with clean refrigerant oil and install them on the underbody refrigerant line fittings.
