AC Compressor and Clutch for Toyota Camry

Of all the parts on your vehicle, the air conditioning system is the one that keeps you comfortable in hot weather. That is why it is good to make sure all of the components of your Toyota Camrys air conditioning system are in working order at all times. With a wide selection of AC compressors and automotive clutches available for the Toyota Camry, you can find the parts you need to keep your vehicles AC in working order.

How do you replace a Toyota Camry AC compressor?

How the AC compressor is replaced depends on the method of failure. If the clutch failed, the process entails a simple compressor replacement, creating a vacuum, and then recharging the unit. If parts failed internally, you will have to deal with debris in the system. The system will have to be taken apart carefully so that the condenser, hoses, and evaporator can be flushed. If flushing these parts isnt possible, then the condenser will need to be replaced. The expansion valve and accumulator are other components that would require replacement if internal failure is experienced. To replace the compressor, you will need to do the following:

  1. Remove Freon according to regulations, and then disconnect the battery.
  2. Disconnect the Freon lines and remove the drive belt. You may have to exert some force on the torsion arm to give yourself enough slack to remove the belt.
  3. Pull the adaptor plug to disconnect the unit, and then remove the bolts so that you can remove the part.
  4. Install the new AC compressor by working in reverse order.
  5. Reconnect the battery and use a refrigerant kit to inject refrigerant into the system.
What are the signs of a failing AC compressor?

A failing air conditioning compressor will give you some warning signs. Those signs include:

  • Not blowing cold air like it used to
  • Strange noises coming from the air conditioning unit
  • The compressor clutch seizing up or being completely broken
What causes an AC compressor to fail on a Camry?

One of the primary causes of AC system failure is debris in the system or dust and grime that accumulates on the condenser coil. Buildup on the coil can cause overheating, which ultimately leads to system failure of the air conditioner. Electrical failure can also occur, with the most common cause being a current or a voltage imbalance.
