Tools Required

J 39400-A Halogen Leak Detector

1. Recover the refrigerant from the A/C system. Refer to Refrigerant Recovery and Recharging .



2. Remove the evaporator tube extension block fitting bolt.



3. Remove the LF floor air outlet duct.



4. Remove the recirculation actuator solenoid screw.
5. Remove the hot water bypass valve solenoid screw.
6. Disconnect the solenoid electrical connectors.
7. Position the solenoids out of the way.



8. Remove the evaporator access panel screws.
9. Remove the evaporator access panel.



10. Remove the evaporator tube screw.
11. Remove the evaporator tube.



12. Remove the TXV screws.
13. Remove the TXV.

1. Install the TXV.

•	Use new O-rings.

•	Lubricate the new O-rings with mineral oil, 525 viscosity.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
