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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this solenoid valve affect my Altima's air conditioning performance?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eControls compressor refrigerant flow for stable cooling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePrevents erratic AC cycling and poor cabin temperature control.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRestores original compressor modulation without major repairs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this part compatible with my Nissan Altima 2013–2016?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis X AUTOHAUX valve is intended for Altima models from 2013 through 2016 with 2.5L or 3.5L engines.
