DESCRIPTION

NOTE: 3.7L engine shown in illustration. 2.8L engine similar.

The A/C discharge line (1) is the refrigerant line that carries refrigerant from the A/C compressor (5) to the A/C condenser (4). The A/C discharge line includes the high side service port (3) and a fitting for the A/C pressure transducer (2) (or the A/C high pressure switch, depending on engine application).

NOTE: Replacement of the refrigerant line O-ring seals is required anytime a refrigerant line is opened. Failure to replace the rubber O-ring seals could result in a refrigerant system leak.

The A/C discharge line has no serviceable parts except for the rubber O-ring seals and the high service port valve core. The O-ring seals used on the connections are made from a special type of rubber not affected by R-134a refrigerant. The O-ring seals must be replaced whenever the A/C discharge line is removed and installed.

The A/C discharge line cannot be repaired and must be replaced if found to be leaking or damaged.
