X AUTOHAUX AC Compressor Control Solenoid Valve VCS14EC/DCS17EC for Nissan Altima 2013-2016 2.5L/3.5L — Direct-Fit, Restores Cooli

The X AUTOHAUX AC Compressor Control Solenoid Valve VCS14EC/DCS17EC is a direct-fit replacement part that restores proper compressor airflow control for Nissan Altima models 2013–2016 with 2.5L and 3.5L engines.

If your Altima's air conditioning is inconsistent, weak, or cycling unexpectedly, a faulty compressor control solenoid valve can be the cause. This replacement unit from X AUTOHAUX matches the original function and fits vehicles that use factory part numbers such as 92600-EN22A/B and related cross-references. Built from metal and durable plastics, it is designed to withstand engine-bay conditions and return stable AC operation when installed correctly.

How does this solenoid valve affect my Altima's air conditioning performance?

The solenoid valve regulates refrigerant flow by opening and closing the compressor port under electrical control. When it fails, the compressor can’t modulate properly, leading to reduced cooling power, inconsistent cabin temperatures, or frequent clutch cycling. Replacing a failed valve usually brings the compressor back to correct operation without replacing the entire compressor assembly.

• Controls compressor refrigerant flow for stable cooling.
• Prevents erratic AC cycling and poor cabin temperature control.
• Restores original compressor modulation without major repairs.

Is this part compatible with my Nissan Altima 2013–2016?

This X AUTOHAUX valve is intended for Altima models from 2013 through 2016 with 2.5L or 3.5L engines. It replaces a number of OEM part numbers including 92600-EN22A/B and aftermarket references like VCS-14EC and DCS17EC. Always verify your vehicle’s existing part number and connector style before purchasing to ensure fitment.

• Fits 2013–2016 Nissan Altima with 2.5L or 3.5L engines.
• Matches OEM numbers: 92600-EN22A, 92600-EN22B, 926003TA2B–E, and others.
• Check your current part number and connector shape for confirmation.

What materials and build quality can I expect from this replacement valve?

The unit uses a combination of metal and engineered plastic components to resist heat, vibration, and exposure common in engine compartments. The design focuses on functional durability rather than cosmetic finish, and electrical terminals and seals are sized to match the original equipment. Proper installation and secure electrical connections help extend service life.

• Metal-plastic construction for thermal and vibration resistance.
• Seals and terminals sized to OEM specifications.
• Manufactured to withstand typical under-hood conditions.

How difficult is it to install and what should I prepare?

Installation is straightforward for someone with basic automotive experience: remove the old solenoid valve and install the new one, ensuring seals and electrical connectors are secure. No special tools are included, and some vehicles may require minor refrigerant service depending on how the valve is accessed. If you’re unsure, a professional installation ensures proper refrigerant handling and leak checks.

• Direct swap for the old compressor control valve in compatible Altimas.
• No installation tools in the package—have basic hand tools ready.
• Consider professional refrigerant service if system evacuation is needed.

Who is this for: The X AUTOHAUX AC Compressor Control Solenoid Valve is aimed at DIY mechanics, independent repair shops, and Altima owners seeking a cost-effective, direct-fit replacement for AC issues caused by a failing compressor control valve. It’s suitable when diagnostics point to the valve rather than the compressor, and when OEM-equivalent part numbers match your vehicle.
