5.18.13 Refrigerant Lines, Disconnecting and
Connecting From Expansion Valve
Note
After switching off the A/C compressor in this vehicle, it may take
a relatively long time for the pressure on the high pressure side
to decrease. This is because the expansion valve is cold and the
pressure on the low pressure side increases quickly after shutting
the compressor off, then the expansion valve closes and the re‐
frigerant flows slowly to the low pressure side.
Removing
– Switch off ignition.
– Discharge refrigerant circuit. Refer to ⇒ Refrigerant R134a
