Q: How to remove and install the condenser in an automotive air conditioning system?
A: Have the refrigerant discharged at a dealer service department or an automotive air conditioning repair facility. On 2012 models, remove the Radiator grille. Remove the radiator. Remove the refrigerant line mounting bolts and disconnect the lines from the condenser. Plug all open fittings to prevent entry of dirt and moisture into the lines. Disconnect the electrical connector from the refrigerant pressure sensor and remove the pressure sensor from the liquid tank. Remove the pressure sensor from the liquid tank attached to the condenser. Remove the condenser-to-bracket fasteners and remove the condenser. Avoid damaging the condenser fins and tanks during removal. Installation is the reverse of removal. Do not use old O-rings for the refrigerant lines; replace them with new ones and apply compressor oil to them before installation. Have the system evacuated, charged and leak tested by the shop that discharged it. Note: This air conditioning system doesn't have a separate receiver-drier. The condenser has an attached liquid tank that isn't serviced separately.
