  A: Refrigerant recovery should be the first step when servicing the suction accumulator in the HVAC system. After the PCM removal together with removing the battery tray and the battery researchers should disconnect the PCM bracket by unfastening all three bolts before setting the bracket back in place which requires final tightening at 10 Nm (89 lb-in).

Unfasten the suction accumulator inlet fitting which requires discarding the O-ring seals. You must first loosen the two bracket-nuts by rotating them to 6 Nm (53 lb-in) torque specification before installing them again. When installing the suction accumulator reverse the steps of removal while using new O-ring seals and applying the right amount of clean PAG oil to the refrigerant system.
