- Install a new evaporator core orifice (19D990), as directed by the A/C flushing or filtering procedure.
- Install a new suction accumulator (19C836), as directed by the A/C flushing or filtering procedure.
NOTE: Installation of a new suction accumulator is not required when repairing the air conditioning system except when there is physical evidence of system contamination from a failed A/C compressor or damage to the suction accumulator.
1. If flushing of the air conditioning system has not been performed, recover the refrigerant. For additional information, refer to Section.
2. Disconnect the battery. For additional information, refer to Section.
3. Unlatch the air breather.
