1 General Information
The basic HVAC system as fitted to MY 2004 AWD Wagon vehicles is carried over from previously released MY 2003
VY Series vehicles. All models are fitted with the HVAC Occupant Climate Control (Auto A/C) air conditioning system
which is identical to that fitted to high level VY Series models.
For information regarding the removal and installation of heating, ventilation and air conditioning system components
which are common to both manual A/C and OCC (Auto A/C) type systems (e.g. ventilation outlets, ducting, piping, hoses,
condenser, filter drier receiver, compressor, evaporator, heater core, blower fan, cooling fans and water valve), refer to
Section 2B HVAC Climate Control (Manual A/C) – Removal and Installation in the MY 2003 VY and V2 Series Service
Information.
To remove and install the OCC control module, refer to Section 2E, 2.1 OCC Control Module in the MY 2003 VY and
V2 Series Service Information. Where inclinometer gauges are fitted to the top of the centre trim assembly, refer also to
Section 1A3, 2.1 Inclinometer Assembly prior to removal of the centre trim assembly.
For all other information regarding the removal and installation of heating, ventilation and air conditioning system
components which are specific to OCC (Auto A/C) type systems, refer to Section 2E HVAC Occupant Climate Control
(Auto A/C) – Removal and Installation in the MY 2003 VY and V2 Series Service Information.
If removal of the HVAC unit is required, refer to Section 2B, 3 Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Unit in
the MY 2003 VY and V2 Series Service Information noting that, as stated above, the instrument panel centre trim
removal procedure is different where an inclinometer gauge assembly is fitted to the top of the centre trim assembly. The
information provided in Section 2B, 3 Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Unit is applicable to both manual
A/C and OCC (Auto A/C) type systems.
