Removal
• When working on high voltage system, the work should be performed by technicians who have completed the relevant training. A lack of understanding of the high voltage system can lead to serious accidents due to electric shock or electric leakage.
• When working on high voltage system or related components, make sure that you are familiar and comply with the "Safety Precautions, Cautions and Warnings." If you do not comply with the instructions, serious accidents due to electric shock or leakage may occur.
• When working on high voltage system, make sure to check the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and high voltage shut-off procedures.
1.Disconnect the battery negative ( - ) terminal and the service interlock connector.(Refer to Battery Control System - "Auxiliary 12 V Battery - 2WD")(Refer to Battery Control System - "Auxiliary 12 V Battery - 4WD")
2.Recover the refrigerant with recovery/recycling/charging equipment.(Refer to Air Conditioning - "Refrigerant Recovery/Recycling/Charging/Evacuation")
3.Remove the front bumper beam assembly.(Refer to Body - Front Bumper Beam Assembly)
4.Remove the radiator upper air guard (A) and radiator lower air guard (B) after removing the bolts.
Tightening torque :7.8 - 11.8 N·m (0.8 - 1.2 kgf·m, 5.8 - 8.7 lb·ft)
5.Remove the condenser pipe (A) after removing the nuts.
Tightening torque :7.8 - 11.8 N·m (0.8 - 1.2 kgf·m, 5.8 - 8.7 lb·ft)
6.Remove the condenser (A) after removing the bolts.
Tightening torque :4.9 - 7.8 N·m (0.5 - 0.8 kgf·m, 3.6 - 5.8 lb·ft, 43.4 - 69.4 lb·in)
Installation
• When working on high voltage system, the work should be performed by technicians who have completed the relevant training. A lack of understanding of the high voltage system can lead to serious accidents due to electric shock or electric leakage.
• When working on high voltage system or related components, make sure that you are familiar and comply with the "Safety Precautions, Cautions and Warnings." If you do not comply with the instructions, serious accidents due to electric shock or leakage may occur.
• When working on high voltage system, make sure to check the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and high voltage shut-off procedures.
1.Install in reverse order of removal.
• If a new condenser is installed, replenish the compressor oil (POE OIL).
• Replace the O-rings at each connection with new ones, and apply a few drops of compressor oil (refrigerant oil) to the O-rings before connecting hoses or lines. To avoid leakage of R-1234yf, use the specified O-ring.
• When installing the condenser, be careful not to have an impact on the condenser fins.
• Charge the refrigerant system and test the air conditioner performance.
Inspection
1.Inspect the condenser fins for blockages or damage.If the pin is clogged, clean it with water or dry it with compressed air. If the pin is bent, spread it out with a screwdriver or pliers.
2.Check the condenser connection for leaks and repair or replace if necessary.
