What It Is Used For

• Restoring proper A/C refrigerant flow through the evaporator circuit
• Addressing weak cooling caused by a restricted expansion valve
• Replacing a valve that sticks, leaks, or meters refrigerant unevenly
• Correcting HVAC performance issues in Toyota Prius and RAV4 systems
• Supporting repair of A/C concerns on Suzuki Swift+ models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year, model, and build details before ordering, especially for the 2019-2020 Toyota RAV4 Japan-built application.
