This bulletin provides important service information to properly remove and install the A/C pressure transducer (see Figure 1) during A/C system repair.

Service Information:

1. When removing or installing the A/C pressure transducer, always support the hex portion of the sensor port with an open-ended wrench. SeeFigure 2. This prevents any damage to the A/C pipe due to the twisting force of the wrench.

Notice: Failure to do so may cause damage to the A/C pipe, resulting in refrigerant leakage.

2. While the sensor port is supported with the open-ended wrench, the A/C pressure transducer can now be safely

removed or installed by using a deep socket wrench. See Figure 3.
