Installation [07/2022 - ]: Procedure
- ADJUST COMPRESSOR OIL
- When replacing the compressor with motor assembly with a new one, gradually discharge the inert gas from the service valve, and drain the following amount of oil from the new compressor with motor assembly before installation.
Standard
(Oil capacity inside the new compressor with motor assembly: 120 to 135 cc (4.06 to 4.56 fl. oz.)) - (Remaining oil amount in the removed compressor with motor assembly) = (Oil amount to be removed from the new compressor)
NOTE:- If a new compressor with motor assembly is installed without removing some oil, there will be too much oil in the system due to the oil remaining in the pipes of the vehicle. Excessive oil in the system prevents heat exchange in the refrigeration cycle and causes ineffective cooling.
- If the amount of oil remaining in the old compressor with motor assembly is too small, check the air conditioning system for oil leaks.
- Be sure to use ND-OIL 11 or equivalent compressor oil. If any compressor oil other than ND-OIL 11 is used, compressor with motor assembly insulation performance may decrease, resulting in leakage of electric power.
- When replacing the compressor with motor assembly with a new one, gradually discharge the inert gas from the service valve, and drain the following amount of oil from the new compressor with motor assembly before installation.
- INSTALL COMPRESSOR WITH MOTOR ASSEMBLY
- Temporarily install the compressor with motor assembly with the 3 bolts.
- Tighten the 3 bolts and install the compressor with motor assembly in the order shown in the illustration.
Torque: 25 N.m (255 kgf/cm, 18 ft.lbf)
- Connect the connector B.
*a Connector A *b Connector B *c Green-colored Lock - Remove the protective tape wrapped around connector A, and as shown in the illustration, connect connector A and lower the green lock to lock it securely.WARNING:
Make sure to wear insulating gloves.
NOTE:Make sure that the connector is connected securely.
- CONNECT SUCTION HOSE SUB-ASSEMBLY
- Remove the vinyl tape from the suction hose sub-assembly.
- Apply sufficient compressor oil to a new O-ring and the fitting surface of the compressor with pulley assembly.
Compressor Oil
ND-OIL 11 or equivalent
- Install the O-ring to the suction hose sub-assembly.NOTE:
Keep the O-ring and O-ring fitting surface free of foreign matter.
- Connect the suction hose sub-assembly to the compressor with pulley assembly with the bolt.
Torque: 9.8 N.m (100 kgf/cm, 87 in.lbf)
- CONNECT DISCHARGE HOSE SUB-ASSEMBLY
- Remove the vinyl tape from the discharge hose sub-assembly.
- Apply sufficient compressor oil to a new O-ring and the fitting surfaces of the cooler compressor with pulley assembly.
Compressor Oil
ND-OIL 11 or equivalent
- Install the O-ring to the discharge hose sub-assembly.NOTE:
Keep the O-ring and O-ring fitting surface free of foreign matter.
- Connect the suction hose sub-assembly to the compressor with pulley assembly with the bolt.
Torque: 9.8 N.m (100 kgf/cm, 87 in.lbf)
- INSTALL NO. 1 ENGINE UNDER COVER ASSEMBLY
Refer to PROCEDURE - Step 67
- INSTALL SERVICE PLUG GRIP
Refer to INSTALLATION [10/2018 - ]
- CHARGE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM WITH REFRIGERANT
- WARM UP COMPRESSOR
See step 3
- INSPECT FOR REFRIGERANT LEAK
