[Refrigerant Temperature Sensor #2]

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 Kia Soul EV. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Recover the refrigerant with a recovery/recycling/charging station.
    CAUTION:
    • Do not use the same A/C recovery/charging station as conventional belt-driven compressors.
    • Since the electric compressor uses high-voltage, POE oil with high resistivity should be used.
    • If PAG oil mixes into the POE oil of the system, dielectric breakdown may occur due to decreased volumetric resistivity and the A/C compressor may not work.
  2. Remove the refrigerant temperature sensor #2 (B) after disconnecting the refrigerant temperature sensor #2 connector (A).
