Installation procedure is the reverse of removal, except
for the following:
Caution: The amount of oil in the new A/C compressor needs to
equal the amount of oil from the old one. To do this, use a digital scale to
weigh both the old and new A/C compressors. Turn the new one upside down to
drain a small amount of fluid, then re-weigh it. Repeat this process until the
new A/C compressor weighs the same as the old one.
- Ensure that the HV cable is routed under the suction and discharge lines and
that the clip is installed onto the suction line.
- Recharge the A/C system.
- Ensure there is sufficient clearance between the HV connector and the bottom
of the underhood storage compartment. If there is contact, adjust the
position of the bracket that supports the HV connector.
