INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Check if the A/C is blowing cold air and there is staining around the receiver dryer cap on the condenser.
- 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.
- If the A/C is not blowing cold air and there is no staining around the receiver dryer cap, continue with normal system troubleshooting.
REPAIR PROCEDURE
- Recover the A/C refrigerant from the system. Refer to the service information.
- Remove the A/C condenser from the vehicle. Refer to the service information.
- Thoroughly clean the stain from the affected area on the condenser.
- 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.
- Wipe the interior threads and sealing area of the receiver/dryer barrel with a lint-free cloth to remove all debris.
- 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).
- Install the A/C condenser. Refer to the service information.
- Evacuate and recharge the A/C system. Refer to the service information.
- Make sure the A/C system is operating properly.
- 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.

ZeroR® AC Refrigerant | R134a Replacement | 6 Cans for AC Recharging
- UNIVERSAL - ZeroR AC Refrigerant is a hydrocarbon that safely bonds with chemicals like R134a, R1234YF and R12. We can only advertise this product to be used in R134a systems due to EPA regulations in the USA on both R12 and R1234YF systems. EPA also prohibits mixing refrigerant types. See the description for all legal disclaimers.
- EASY - This product installs just as easily as any R134a products. Cans even have R134a threads and the majority of R134a can taps will work for these cans.
- 6oz CANS - Refrigerants are compressed gasses and are measured by weight, not by liquid volume such as water. All gasses compress differently and produce a different weight. ZeroR AC Refrigerant is low weight compared to R134a, but its performance is equal to 16oz of R134a.
- ECO FRIENDLY – ZeroR AC Refrigerant is a 100% Natural gas unlike R134a, R1234yf and R12.
- SAFE – ZeroR AC Refrigerant has a class 2.1 flammability rating just like the new R1234YF which is now used in 100% of newly manufactured vehicles. Under normal operating conditions this product presents no danger to its users when handled properly and used in systems approved for flammable refrigerants.
