KIA Niro: Evaporator Core Repair procedures, Evaporator Temperature Sensor

Kia Niro - First generation - (DE) (2017-2022) - Service and Repair Manual / Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning / Air Conditioning System / Evaporator Core Repair procedures, Evaporator Temperature Sensor

Replacement

  1. Disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal.
  2. Remove the heater and blower assembly.

    (Refer to Heater - "Heater Unit")

  3. Remove the heater unit lower case (A) after loosening the mounting screws.

  1. Hold the end of evaporator temperature sensor (A) and turn it by 90º in counterclockwise direction, and then pull out the sensor.

  1. Remove the evaporator core (A) from the heater unit.

  1. Install in the reverse order of removal.
  • When installing a new heater core, add refrigerant oil (POE OIL).
  • Replace the O-rings with new ones at each fitting, and apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil before installing them. Be sure to use the right O-rings for R-134a, R-1234yf to avoid leakage.
  • Immediately after using the oil, replace the cap on the container, and seal it to avoid moisture absorption.
  • Do not spill the refrigerant oil on the vehicle; it may damage the paint; if the refrigerant oil contacts the paint, wash it off immediately.
  • Apply sealant to the grommets.
  • Make sure that there is no air leakage.
  • Charge the system and test its performance.
  • Install the hose clamps securely without interchanging the inlet and outlet heater hoses.

Evaporator Temperature Sensor

Description

The evaporator temperature sensor will detect the evaporator core temperature and interrupt compressor relay power in order to prevent evaporator from freezing by excessive cooling. The evaporator temperature sensor has the Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC). Electrical resistivity of NTC increases with decrease in temperature and decreases with increase in temperature.
