Removal

PROCEDURE
1. Discharge the air conditioner and recover the refrigerant at a Toyota service station or a specialized workshop.
2. Disconnect the battery ground cable.
3. Remove the drive belt from the compressor (see subsection 2.6.4).

4. Disconnect the wiring connector from the compressor (indicated by the large arrow), remove the flange connection bolts (two small arrows), and disconnect the refrigerant lines from the compressor.

5. Remove the compressor mounting bolts (the two lower bolts are indicated by the arrows; two more bolts are located at the top of the compressor) and remove the compressor.
6. If a new compressor is to be installed, perform all procedures specified in the enclosed instructions. Before installation, check the oil level in the compressor.

Installation

PROCEDURE

2. Charge the air conditioner with refrigerant at the same workshop where the refrigerant was discharged and recovered.
