Lincoln Aviator: Climate Control System - General Information / Removal and Installation - Air Conditioning (A/C) Compressor - 3.0L EcoBoost
Removal
NOTICE:
If installing a new A/C compressor due to an internal failure of the old unit, carry out the following procedures to remove contamination from the A/C system. Failure to remove contamination from the A/C system, if present, will result in poor A/C performance and/or damage to the new A/C compressor and other components.
-
If A/C flushing equipment is available, carry out flushing of the A/C system prior to installing a new A/C compressor.
-
If A/C flushing equipment is not available, replace all contaminated components after a new A/C compressor has been installed.
-
Install a new Thermostatic Expansion Valve (TXV) as directed by the A/C flushing.
-
Install a new receiver drier element as directed by the A/C flushing.
NOTICE:
During the removal of components, cap, tape or otherwise
appropriately protect all openings to prevent the ingress of dirt or
other contamination. Remove protective materials prior to installation.
NOTE:
Installation of a new receiver drier element is not required when repairing the A/C system except when there is physical evidence of system contamination from a failed A/C compressor or damage to the receiver drier element.
NOTE:
A new A/C compressor may come equipped with an A/C clutch disc and hub, A/C compressor pulley and A/C
clutch field coil already installed. If these components are not
pre-installed, it will be necessary to transfer these parts from the old
A/C compressor to the new compressor prior to installation of the A/C compressor if suitable for reuse.

Inspection
NOTE:
Procedure 1 — Ambient Temperature below 21 °C (70 °F).
NOTE:
Proper A/C system diagnosis on a vehicle’s
compressor is dependent on correct refrigerant system charge and tested
in ambient temperatures above 21°C (70°F)...

Fail-safe cooling allows you to temporarily
drive your vehicle before any incremental
component damage occurs. The fail-safe
distance depends on ambient temperature,
vehicle load and terrain.
How Fail-Safe Cooling Works
If the engine begins to overheat,
the coolant temperature gauge
moves toward the red zone:
A warning lamp illuminates and a
message may appear in the
