Q: How to remove and install an air conditioning condenser and liquid tank?
A: This air conditioning system does not have a separate receiver-drier. The condenser has an attached liquid tank that is not serviced separately. Have the air conditioning system discharged and recovered by a dealer service department or automotive air conditioning shop. Remove the air inlet duct. For 2011 and earlier models, remove both headlights, the hood release latch and cable assembly clip, the air guides on each side of the radiator, the radiator grille, the windshield washer fluid reservoir inlet tube, the clip holding the end of the tube to the upper radiator core support, and the upper radiator core support fasteners. For 2012 and later models, remove the ground harness from the radiator core support, the horn, the hood release latch and cable assembly clip, the front crash zone sensor, the radiator cap adapter bracket bolt, and the Coolant Reservoir. Remove the radiator seal clips from the side and top of the radiator, disconnect any electrical harness clips attached to the upper radiator core support, the upper front bumper clips, and the upper radiator core support mounting fasteners. Pull the front bumper towards the front of the vehicle just enough to allow the upper radiator core support to be removed by pulling it upwards. 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. On 2011 and earlier models, remove the refrigerant pressure sensor electrical connector. On 2012 and later models, remove the refrigerant pressure sensor electrical connector from the top of the liquid tank attached to the condenser. Tilt the radiator towards the rear of the vehicle and remove the air conditioning condenser and liquid tank as an assembly. Installation is the reverse of removal. Do not use old O-rings for the refrigerant lines, replace with new ones and apply compressor oil to them before installation. Have the air conditioning system evacuated, recharged and leak tested by the shop that discharged it.
