Removal
CAUTION: Do not open the high-pressure valve while the engine is running.
NOTE: Cap all open refrigerant lines and components to prevent entry of dirt and moisture.
Disconnect negative battery terminals.
Remove drive belt (8620).
Disconnect A/C compressor electrical connector.
Recover refrigerant from system following the recommended service procedure. Observe all safety precautions. Refer to Section 12-00.
Disconnect the refrigerant lines and the bolt from the A/C compressor (19703). Refer to Refrigerant Lines in the Removal and Installation portion of this section.
Remove A/C compressor bolts (4) and the A/C compressor mounting bracket (2882).
Installation
Install the A/C compressor, A/C compressor mounting bracket and compressor bolts (4). Tighten to 23-31 Nm (17-23 lb-ft).
Connect A/C compressor electrical connector.
Install drive belt.
NOTE: When the battery (10655) has been disconnected and reconnected, some abnormal drive symptoms may occur while the powertrain control module (PCM) (12A650) relearns its adaptive strategy. The vehicle may need to be driven 16 km (10 miles) or more to relearn the strategy.
Connect battery ground cable.
Lubricate O-rings with clean refrigerant oil. Connect the refrigerant lines and bolt to the A/C compressor mounting bracket. Refer to Refrigerant Lines in the Removal and Installation portion of this section.
