How to Replace the AC Compressor on a 2015 Toyota Sienna

[@MichaelShinkarovsky]

Thank you, Roy! I used your video to replace the AC Flow Sensor on the compressor without removing the compressor. It all worked out and I saved myself more that $1,000. Great video!

[@RoysGarage808]

Glad I could. Thanks for watching 🤙

[@AR-il9gk]

What was your ac issue? Trying to figure out if its the flow sensor or the compressor that is bad

[@RoysGarage808]

Low side too high. No suction.

[@danielortegamcbo]

That's what the isuue that I have. Where can I buy the flow sensor ??? My low side is stuck on 60 psi missing suction

[@eadams2130]

Thanks for the video! I was able to knock this out in under 3 hours minus the recharge. Also left the tire on, tight squeeze but it worked. Sloped driveway 😅

[@Silvershadow8385]

Thanks for the step by step explanation. It was really helpful, you simplified the job..

[@daveboulton5904]

Thank you very much Roy! I followed your clear step-by-step instructions and I successfully replaced my 2011 Sienna a/c compressor - I would have struggled to do it otherwise. The most difficult part was putting the serpentine belt back on and getting enough leverage on the tensioner. I see you had a special tool for that. I was able to find a bit of pipe to put over my wrench and the additional leverage enabled me to get the tensioner back all the way while my wife put on the belt over the drive pully. Thanks again!

Hey I have a 2015 sienna compressor is out. I’m thinking of do it my self. How long took the work?

@@luiscarrasquillo8299 It took me about half a day - you have to remove a lot of parts to get to it, change it out, and then put everything back and recharge the system.

Thank you Roy for the video. I have the same 2015 toyota sienna and needs an AC compressor asap. Texas weather is HOT. Your step by step is amazing and will safe me a lot of time and money..

[@sweetsucculentcontentnectar]

Hi Roy, thanks for the video! A couple of questions: 1. Did you have to burp the engine cooling system after installing the compressor? 2. Did the Denso compressor in your video not come prefilled with oil? Because the supplier I'm buying mine from claims that it is. Any insight you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again!

My 2013 Sienna needs a new compressor, north of $1000 for the job. I live in Florida, so AC is not a luxury, it’s a must have. Since this is the first repair ever needed on our van, I’m cool with it. 200,000 miles and still going strong!

Wow, great video! Can you provide links to some of the other parts? Also, can you go into more details on where to connect the vacuum and AC gauges? Thanks!

[@generalzues]

Roy thank you very much. I just did mine on a 2005 Sienna. Much easier, the compressor in near the top of engine. I just wanted to check the other compressor holes near where the ac lines connect to compressor. The compressor I received was new from parts store but the fasteners were different. I was confused whether I should put bolts in those holes or not. You didn't so I will assume, I shouldn't. Once I put freon, ill know for sure. Everything is done except evacuation & charging system. Anyhow thank you.

[@ranger178]

i have a 2011 Toyota sienna that the air conditioner just suddenly stopped working I tried figuring out the problem and figured it was an electronics problem because the clutch won't try and engage I took it to garage and they said they tried sensor on outside of compressor but that didn't fix it it is sensor inside compressor that must be bad they said it is 5 hour job and 1600 dollars to replace compressor does that sound right is there any other way to fix the sensor problem?

[@alanfortes7805]

You help me, very good and God bless you.

[@joshuatran3667]

Thank you very much Roy. I have a 2011 Sienna and i think the procedures are the same. Question. Dont you have to discharge the system first and release the pressure before you disconnect the high pressure hose? There was a pop when you yanked it out. Your vid is very detailed to the point. Absolutely love it. Thanks again for the vid. Subscribed.

[@RoysGarage808]

I don’t precisely remember but I believe it was already discharged as this was an ongoing problem that the vehicle owner has had, not any more though! Thanks for watching 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@jimmoore4643]

Hi Roy,. Super job on the video. A few questions if you don't mind. Where can I learn how to fill / charge the compressor? Where can I get the apparatus to do that step? Is the freon commercially available?

[@actskim]

Thank you very much, It was very helpful for me.

[@joshuatran3667]

Got my old compressor out. Looking at the new compressor and reading the manual that came with it, the directions said to empty out the old compressor's oil and the new compressor's oil into 2 measuring cups and make sure the new compressor get the same amount of oil as the old one. Apparently the new denso compressor does come with oil. Seeing you putting 4 additional oz of oil into the new compressor, I am not sure if that is correct. Where did you get the 4 oz from?

[@RoysGarage808]

If it doesn’t come with oil and it’s the first time changing the compressor, put in 6oz. After the first time, put 4oz. I can’t explain how/where I got the numbers from but it’s from years of experience and I also own a few 2015 Siennas myself. I hope that helps and Thanks for watching 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@CarlonSwarey]

How do you determine to add 4 oz of oil to compressor. Just figure the remainder is still in the system?

[@chilenoces1]

Hey Roy When do you know when your compressor is out? My is not staying on all the time....

[@RoysGarage808]

If it’s broken, your AC won’t get cold BUT that’s also misleading because if your don’t have Freon, it’ll also not get cold. You won’t know for sure until you look and use a gauge to check. I hope that answers your question and Thanks for watching 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

Did you change the expansion valves? Do you think one should at same time?

[@frnciscob1]

I thought you had to replace the dryer and condenser when replacing the compressor? I need to replace my compressor but im not sure if I have to do the other stuff

[@RoysGarage808]

When you change the compressor, I would highly recommend definitely changing the dryer, I would actually recommend changing the dryer any time you open up the system. I didn’t change the dryer in the video because I was actually replacing a defective compressor, I had changed the dryer prior to this video. I hope that’s clarifies things for you and thanks for watching 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@scottj.ketcher3738]

This is a dessicant bag, correct? Did you make a video of this and do you have to remove the condenser since they are often accessed from the bottom? Thx.

[@reckonill]

Thanks Roy! Replacingmy condenser compressor and the expansion valve thanks to your help. How much total oil would you suggest adding with the condenser too? I bought a pre-oiled Denso which I believe has 3oz in it already, but haven't measured

[@FireLikeIYA]

Did you measure the oil in your compressor? I bought the Denso as shown in this video and it had some oil in it but maybe only 30ml. I thought all Denso compressors came with oil. A chart that I found only states it should of been prefilled with 3.4oz.

[@FredTheLutinoCocatiel]

Roy you're always so organized with the tool tray Do you video the tray before the job or after you've collected everything in the job is finished? Great concise video!

[@RoysGarage808]

Haha, great question. I must admit sometimes it’s after we’ve filmed, but usually it depends on the job. If it’s a brake job, you should do them in pairs so I’ll already have done one side and know what tools I need for the other side, oil changes are quite simple to know what’s needed, but sometimes I’ll have to edit out the time spent finding the right size and type of tool and film the shot at he end!

[@RoysGarage808]

I’m so sorry for the late response, we’ve been quite busy. Unfortunately unless I have the car in front of me, I can’t really give you definite advice. I have not done a crankshaft position sensor job on your make and model in my recent memory, but if I’m not mistaken (do not quote me of this) I do believe you must take off the compressor and I don’t believe there’s an easier way to take it off. It’s best to refer to the user manual. Sorry I couldn’t help more, thanks for watching 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

Put a drill bit in the belt tensioner to hold it back.

I normally use a hex key. It makes it so much easier to replace a belt when you lock the tensioner open.

Hello, please, what is the weight of the oil in kJ inside the compressor and the weight of Freon inside the circuit as kJ

[@RoysGarage808]

For the oil I put in 6oz of pag 45, and for the freon I only put in 1.1oz (manufacturer calls for 1.9oz but that’ll overcharged and cause your air to become warm). I hope that answers your questions. Thanks for watching 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
