INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONS
What’s New
The installation instructions for the 2003 CivicA/C are the same as the 2002 model. However,the A/C kit numbers are different because ofimprovements to the wire length on thecompressor:
• 80000-S5D-A22 for U.S.
• 80000-S5D-C22 for Canada
TOOLS AND SUPPLIES REQUIREDDuct tapeHacksaw bladeTrim clip removerOpen-end wrench setScrewdriversSocket wrench setTorque wrenchTension gaugeRefrigerant oil (R-12 mineral oil or R-134a PAG oil)Fender, floor, and seat coversHFC-134a refrigerant recovery/recycling/charging

NOTICE
� Use only HFC-134a in this system; do notuse CFC 12 (Freon); do not install partsdesigned for use in a CFC system.
� Use a charging station. A/C chargingstations and refrigerant recovery/recyclingstations minimize the release of CFCs andHFCs to the atmosphere. Use them for all A/Ccharging and service work according to themanufacturers’ instructions.
� Do not overcharge. This system requiresonly the amount of HFC-134a refrigerantshown below. If you overcharge the system,the engine and the A/C will malfunction.

NOTE:
� Make sure you have the anti-theft code forthe audio system.
� Write down the customer’s radio stationpresets; the radio memory will be erasedwhen you disconnect the battery.
� Make sure you install the right part. Use theillustrations on pages 2 and 3 as a guide tocheck the parts before you install them.
� Don’t remove plugs and caps from fittingsuntil the parts are ready to connect. Thiswill keep out moisture and dirt which couldcause wear and damage.
During Installation:� Before you connect any line or hose,
check and lube its O-ring. Make sure theO-ring is on the fitting, put a few drops ofrefrigerant oil on the O-ring, then connect thefitting.
� You may use either type of refrigerant oil tolubricate O-rings and fittings.
� If you add or replace refrigerant oil in thesystem, use only this PAG oil: Sanden SP-10,P/N 38897-P13-A01.
� Route and secure the lines and hosesproperly; maintain clearance between themand surrounding parts.
� Use two wrenches to tighten or loosenfittings; hold one fitting in place while youtighten the other one against it.
NOTICE Don’t overtighten; you coulddamage the fittings. Before you tighten afitting, check the torque listed for it. If leaksare caused by faulty O-rings, overtighteningthe fitting won’t help.
� Before you connect each electricalconnector, check its terminals. Make surethe terminals aren’t bent or out of place.

Reconnect the negative cable to thebattery.
Check for battery voltage at the accessorypower socket (or cigarette lighter).
30. Do the idle learning procedure.
Whenever the battery or the ECM/PCM isdisconnected, the ECM/PCM must relearn theproper idle air control (IAC) values. To do this,follow this procedure exactly.
–1 Start the engine, and turn off all accessories(A/C, radio, defogger, etc.).
–2 Warm the engine up to normal operatingtemperatures (cooling fans come on twice),then let the engine idle for 10 minutes.
If the above procedure is not done correctly, theengine will have an erratic idle.
31. Evacuate the system.
The HFC-134a and compressor oil used in this A/Csystem are highly moisture absorbent. Afterinstalling the system, make sure you evacuate itfor at least 15 minutes.
NOTE:
� If low pressure does not reach more than 700mm Hg (27 in-Hg) in 15 minutes, there isprobably a leak in the system. Partially chargethe system, and check for leaks(see step 32).
� If the system is left open, the desiccant in thereceiver tank will become saturated with moisture,requiring longer evacuation time.
32. Charge the system.
� This system requires only the amount ofHFC-134a refrigerant shown below. If youovercharge the system, the engine and the A/C willmalfunction. Do not overcharge! Select theappropriate units of measure for your refrigerantcharging station.
500 to 550 grams
0.50 to 0.55 kilograms
1.1 to 1.2 pounds
17.6 to 19.4 ounces
� Do not add oil to the compressor; a newcompressor already contains enough oil for theentire A/C system. If you are replacing compressoroil that has leaked out of the system, use onlySanden SP-10 oil.
� Using the wrong oil, or mixing different types of oil,will result in abnormal compressor noise orseizure, or shortened compressor service life.These conditions are not covered by thewarranty policy.
33. Check for leaks.When testing for leaks, follow these guidelines:� Make sure you use a leak detector designed for
A/C systems that use HFC-134a.� To avoid false readings, do not use a tester
designed to detect Freon (CFC-12).� Because HFC-134a is heavier than air, always
check 360° around all fittings.
� If you lose or damage an O-ring during A/Cinstallation, make sure you order the correctreplacement as listed here:
PART NAME PART NUMBER APPLICATION
O-ring, 8 mm 80873-ST7-000 Condenser linereceiver lines
O-ring, 5/8″ 80871-ST7-000 Suction hoseand line
O-ring, 1/2″ 80872-ST7-000 Discharge hoseand line
34. Performance test the A/C system.Refer to Service Bulletin 96-012, Air ConditioningSystem Performance Test, filed under Accessoriesin the old Service Bulletin binder.
35. Readjust the A/C compressor belt tothe “Used Belt” tension: 390 to 540N(40 to 55 kg).Refer to step 22 on page 20.
