Move the temperature control to "HOl"
'96-98: Slide the temoerature control lever.'99-00: Turn the ignition switch ON (ll), then turn
the temperature contol knob. Turn the ignition
switch off.
Remove the battsry.
Rgcover the refrigerant with a rocovery/recycling/
charging station (see page 22-271.
Remove the bolts, then disconnect th6 suction 8nd
receiver lines from th6 evaoorator.
NOTE: Plug or cap the lines imm€diatoly after dis-
connecting them to avoid moisture and dust con-
tamination.

Install in the reverse order of removal. Make note of
th€ following items.
o lf you'r6 installing a new evaporator, add rofriger-
ANt OiI {SANDEN, SP-10 Or DENSO, ND-OIL 8)
lsas page 22-221.
. Replace the O-rings with now ones 8t 68ch titting,
and apply 8 thin coat of r€frlgersd oil before
installing them.
NOTE: Be sure to use the right O-rings for HFC-
134a (R-134a) to avoid loakago.
. Apply s€alant to tha grommets.
. Mske sure that ther€ is no air leakage.
. Chargs ths system {s€€ page 22-161, and tost its
performance (see pags 22-211.

Overhaul
1.
3.
Pull out the A,/C thermostat sensor from the evapo-
rator fins.
Remove the self-tapping screws and clamps from
the housings.
Carefully separate the housings, then remove the
evaporator.
lf necessary, remove the expansion valve.
NOTE: When loosening the expansion valve nuts, use
a second wrench to hold the expansion valve or the
evaporator pipe. Otherwise, they can be damaged
5. Assemble in the reverse order of disassembly Make
note of following items.
. Replace the O-rings with new ones at each fitting,
and apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil before
installing them.
NOTE: Be sure to use the right O-rings for HFC-
134a (R-134a) to avoid leakage.
. Install the expansion valve capillary tube so that
it is in direct contact with the suction line. Then
wrap wath taPe.
. Reinstall the Ay'C thermostat sensor to its original
location.

Combination Light Switch Test
1.Remove the driver's dashboard lower cover and steering column covers (see section 20)
Disconnect the 4P and 7P connectors from the switch.
Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact
. lf the terminals are bent, loose. or corroded, repair them as necessary, and recheck the system.
. lf theterminals look OK, check for continuity between them ineach switch position according tothetables lfthere
is no continuity between any of them. check for continuity in the switch harness
- lf there is continuity in the switch harness. replace the combination light switch
- lf there is no continuity in the switch harness, replace it.
