Fitment Details

Compatible with 2016-2023 Nissan Maxima, N/A; 2015-2023 Nissan Murano, N/A; 2020 Nissan Pathfinder, Front; 2014-2019 INFINITI QX60, Front; 2013-2019 Nissan Pathfinder, Front; 2013-2018 Nissan Altima, N/A; 2013 INFINITI JX35, Front; and 2020 INFINITI QX60, Front.

This TYC 97242 evaporator core is used in the vehicle’s air conditioning system to transfer heat from the cabin air as refrigerant passes through the core. The parallel flow configuration supports factory-style HVAC service on Nissan Maxima and Murano models, as well as Pathfinder, Altima, INFINITI QX60, and JX35 platforms listed in the fitment data.

Common Repair Uses

• Restores cooling performance when the original evaporator core is restricted or leaking
• Addresses weak cabin air conditioning output
• Helps correct refrigerant loss caused by evaporator core failure
• Supports repair of HVAC performance issues tied to internal corrosion or blockage
• Replaces a damaged factory evaporator core during A/C system service

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle’s model year, HVAC configuration, and fitting style before installation. This part uses block inlet and outlet connections, so line alignment and seal condition should be checked during service. Because the evaporator core is installed inside the HVAC case, access typically requires disassembly of interior HVAC components and proper evacuation and recharge of the A/C system by a qualified technician.

Quality Assurance

TYC manufactures replacement HVAC components for OE-style service applications. Part number 97242 is built to match the listed dimensions and configuration for the specified Nissan and INFINITI fitments.
