  Q: How to install an A/C Condenser and its related components on Toyota Venza?

  A:

  Apply 4 bolts for the cooler condenser assembly installation with 6.0 Nm (61 kgf-cm, 53 in-lbf) torque and add 40 cc (1.35 fl oz.) of ND-OIL 8 or equivalent compressor oil when using a new condenser unit. After removing the vinyl tape from the air conditioning tube and cooler condenser assembly users must apply ND-OIL 8 or equivalent compressor oil to a new O-ring while attaching the tube to the fitting surface with the bolt torqued to 9.8 Nm (100 kgf-cm, 87 in-lbf). Surely for the HVAC discharge hose you should remove the tape, apply compression oil to a new O-ring followed by installation before securing it with a bolt while torquing at 9.8 Nm (100 kgf-cm, 87 in-lbf). Mount the upper radiator support and hood lock support sub-assembly through two bolts before mounting each clamp. The installation sequence includes the hood lock assembly followed by both high-pitched and low-pitched horn assemblies and the three air cleaners and battery before adding the air cleaner case and caps and radiator grille protector and cool air intake duct seal. Attach the cable to the negative terminal while understanding that system initialization might be needed following reinstallation. After charging with refrigerant the technician should warm up the engine before inspecting for refrigerant leaks and conducting checks on the hood sub-assembly followed by necessary adjustments.

  Q: How to remove the A/C Condenser on Toyota Venza?

  A:

  The first step to remove the HVAC condenser includes disconnecting the negative cable from the battery terminal but some vehicle systems need post-reconnection initialization. The technician needs to extract the refrigerant from the refrigeration system before proceeding with the removal of cool air intake duct seal, radiator grille protector and radiator grille. Next, remove inlet No. 2 air cleaner, air cleaner cap sub-assembly, air cleaner case, battery, and inlet No. 1 air cleaner. The technician should remove both low pitched horn and high pitched horn assemblies. The first step involves removing the hood lock assembly with the option to keep or discard the engine hood courtesy switch then the hood lock support sub-assembly by disengaging each clamp and removing 2 bolts from the assembly. Secure the positional integrity of openings by using vinyl tape after removing the bolt and O-ring from the cooler refrigerant discharge hose during the upper radiator support removal process. Proceed by disconnecting the air conditioning accessories assembly following the same steps of bolt then O-ring removal and seal the tubing interfaces with vinyl tape. Remove the cooler condenser assembly through the removal of its four bolts.
