Compressor Assembly Removal and 
Installation for M16 Engine Model

S6JB0A7206034

Removal

1) Run engine at idle with A/C ON for 10 minutes.
2) Disconnect negative (–) cable at battery.
3) Recover refrigerant from the A/C system using 

recovery and recycling equipment referring to 
“Recovery” in “Operation Procedure for Charging A/
C with Refrigerant”.

NOTE
The amount of compressor at removed must 
be measured and the same amount must be 
poured when installing the compressor.

 

4) Disconnect thermal protector lead wire.
5) Disconnect suction and discharge hoses from 

compressor.

NOTE
Cap open fitting immediately to keep 
moisture out of system.

 

6) Remove compressor drive belt referring to “P/S 

Pump and A/C Compressor (If Equipped) Drive Belt 
Removal and Installation (M16A Engine Model) in 
Section 6C”.

7) Remove compressor with clutch assembly from its 

mount.

NOTE
If compressor assembly is replaced with one, 
drain oil from compressor. Then, measure its 
amount.

 

Installation
Reverse removal procedure noting the following 
instructions.
• If compressor is replaced, pour new compressor oil 

referring to “Precautions on Replenishing Compressor 
Oil”.

• Evacuate and charge the A/C system referring to 

“Evacuation” and “Charge” in “Operation Procedure 
for Charging A/C with Refrigerant”.
