Note
Replacement restrictors with different holes are available: yel‐
♦
low colored 1.54 mm, red colored 1.42 mm.
Depending on manufacturer, color of red restrictor may tend
♦
more towards orange.
To avoid altering the cooling output of the air conditioner, red
♦
or yellow colored restrictors must only be installed. Yellow col‐
ored restrictors were installed in model year 2001. Red colored
restrictors were installed as of model year 2002. The restrictor
modification (a red colored restrictor may also be installed in
vehicles of model year 2001 instead of a yellow colored re‐
strictor) does not alter the capacity for these vehicles.

engine, different A/C compressors are installed (these A/C
compressors do not have an A/C clutch)
At the start production, Denso A/C compressors 6 SEU 12 and

and 7 SEU 17). Refer to ⇒ Heating, Ventilation and Air Con‐
ditioning; Rep. Gr. 87 ; Description and Operation (vehicle-

models. Refer to the Electronic Parts Catalog.
