•
If the A/C is not blowing cold air and there is staining around the receiver dryer cap on the condenser, go to REPAIR
PROCEDURE.

Page 3 of 4
4. Remove the sub-assembly (cap, filter, and desiccant bag) from the condenser.
NOTES
•
Install the new desiccant bag as quickly as possible to prevent the system from absorbing moisture from the air.
•
You will need to add 10 ml of refrigerant oil (P/N 38899-RLV-A01) with the replacement of the desiccant bag.
•
Do not over tighten the plastic receiver/dryer cap; it could get stripped.
5. Wipe the interior threads and sealing area of the receiver/dryer barrel with a lint-free cloth to remove all debris.
6. Apply a thin layer of refrigerant oil to the O-rings. Then install the new filter sub-assembly, and torque the cap to 12
N·m (9 lb-ft).
7. Install the A/C condenser. Refer to the service information.
8. Evacuate and recharge the A/C system. Refer to the service information.
9. Make sure the A/C system is operating properly.
10. With Honda Sensing: Do the millimeter wave radar aiming procedure. Refer to service information.
NOTE
The millimeter wave radar aiming procedure must be done whenever the millimeter wave radar is removed or
replaced.
