3. NOTE: Do not flush through the condenser integrated receiver drier element (if equipped), TXV (if equipped) or hoses with mufflers. Internal plumbing and material make-up of these components make it impossible to correctly remove foreign material or residual flushing solvent.
4. NOTE: Use 3.78 L (1 gal) of Motorcraft® A/C System Flushing Solvent to flush the heat exchanger for a minimum of 15 minutes. The flush solvent may be used for one or both heat exchangers in the A/C system. However, the flush solvent is intended for one vehicle only. The filter used on the flushing unit is also intended for use on one vehicle only.
Flush the heat exchanger for a minimum of 15 minutes.
5. Apply 621-862 kPa (90-125 psi) pressurized air to the flush machine, flush the component for a minimum of 30 minutes using the flush machine. The 30-minute purge time is required to force and evaporate all residual solvent from the A/C system component. Failure to successfully remove all residual solvent within the component can result in system damage when reconnected and operated. Dispose of the used flush solvent and filter in accordance with local, state and federal regulations.
6. Install a new TXV (if equipped) in any vehicle being serviced for an internal A/C compressor or desiccant failure. Refer to: Thermostatic Expansion Valve - 2.3L EcoBoost (201kW/273PS) (412-00 Climate Control System - General Information, Removal and Installation). Refer to: Thermostatic Expansion Valve - 3.7L Duratec (227kW/301PS) (412-00 Climate Control System - General Information, Removal and Installation). Refer to: Thermostatic Expansion Valve - 5.0L 32V Ti-VCT (412-00 Climate Control System - General Information, Removal and Installation).
7. Install new refrigerant hoses with mufflers if clogged with foreign material.
8. Install a new receiver drier (if equipped) or receiver drier element (if equipped) in any vehicle being serviced for an internal A/C compressor or desiccant failure. Refer to: Receiver Drier - 5.0L 32V Ti-VCT (412-00 Climate Control System - General Information, Removal and Installation). Refer to: Receiver Drier - 2.3L EcoBoost (201kW/273PS) (412-00 Climate Control System - General Information, Removal and Installation). Refer to: Receiver Drier - 3.7L Duratec (227kW/301PS) (412-00 Climate Control System - General Information, Removal and Installation).
9. Reconnect the heat exchanger being serviced.
10. If a new A/C compressor is not being installed, lubricate the refrigerant system with the correct amount of clean PAG oil. Refer to: Refrigerant Oil Adding (412-00 Climate Control System - General Information, General Procedures).
11. If a new A/C compressor is not being installed, evacuate, leak test and charge the A/C system. Refer to: Air Conditioning (A/C) System Recovery, Evacuation and Charging (412-00 Climate Control System - General Information, General Procedures).
12. If a new A/C compressor is being installed, install the A/C compressor. Refer to: Air Conditioning (A/C) Compressor - 2.3L EcoBoost (201kW/273PS) (412-00 Climate Control System - General Information, Removal and Installation). Refer to: Refrigerant System Tests - 3.7L Duratec (227kW/301PS) (412-00 Climate Control System - General Information, General Procedures). Refer to: Air Conditioning (A/C) Compressor - 5.0L 32V Ti-VCT (412-00 Climate Control System - General Information, Removal and Installation).
