After piping has been connected, pull male-side piping by hand to make sure piping does not
come off.

When recharging refrigerant, check for leaks.
Removal and Installation of Refrigerant Pressure SensorAJS00160
REMOVAL
1. Remove condenser. Refer to ATC-154, "Removal and Installa-
tion of Condenser" .
2. Remove refrigerant pressure sensor from condenser.
CAUTION:
When working, be careful not to damage the condenser
fins.
INSTALLATION
Installation is basically the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
Apply compressor oil to the O-ring of the refrigerant pressure sensor when installing it.
Removal and Installation of EvaporatorAJS001BJ
REMOVAL
1. Set the temperature at 18°C (60°F), and then disconnect the battery negative cable.
2. Use a refrigerant collecting equipment (for HFC-134a) to discharge the refrigerant.
3. Remove low-pressure pipe 2 and high-pressure pipe 3. Refer to ATC-151, "
Removal and Installation of
Low-pressure Pipe 2 and High-pressure Pipe 3" .
CAUTION:
Cap or wrap the joint of the pipe with suitable material such as vinyl tape to avoid the entry of air.
4. Slide evaporator, and then remove it from heater & cooling unit.
5. Remove intake sensor from evaporator, and then remove evap-
orator.
INSTALLATION
Installation is basically the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:

Replace O-rings for A/C piping with new ones, then apply compressor oil to it when installing it.

Connection point for female-side piping is thin. So, when inserting male-side piping, take care not
to deform female-side piping. Slowly insert in axial direction.

Insert one-touch joint connection point securely until it clicks.

After piping has been connected, pull male-side piping by hand to make sure piping does not
come off.

The O-rings are different from low-pressure pipe 1 (high-pressure pipe 2) and low-pressure pipe 2
(high-pressure pipe 3).

Mark the mounting position of the intake sensor bracket. Bolt mounting the high-pressure flexible hose bracket
