| Oil Specification |
| 1. |
The HFC-134a system requires synthetic (PAG) compressor oil
whereas the R-12 system requires mineral compressor oil. The two oils
must never be mixed. |
| 2. |
Compressor (PAG) oil varies according to compressor model. Be sure to use oil specified for the compressor model.
|
| 1. |
The oil should be free from moisture, dust, metal powder, etc. |
| 2. |
Do not mix with other types of oil. |
| 3. |
The water content in the oil increases when exposed to air.
After use, seal oil from air immediately. (HFC-134a Compressor Oil
absorbs moisture very easily.) |
| 4. |
The compressor oil must be stored in steel containers, not in plastic containers.

Replacement 1. Discharge refrigerant from refrigeration system. 2. Replace any faulty tubes or hoses. Cap the open fittings immediately to keep moisture or dirt out of the system.
Removal 1. Disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal. 2. Remove the rear bumper. (Refer to Body - "Rear Bumper") 3. Remove the BSD unit (A) after loosening the mounting nuts. Take care not to separate the bracket from rear bumper when removing the BSD sensor.
Inspection 1. Turn the ignition switch OFF. 2. Disconnect the mode control actuator connector. 3. Verify that the mode control actuator operates to the defrost mode when connecting 12V to terminal 3 and grounding terminal 4. Verify that the mode control actuator operates to the vent mode when connected in reverse.
