Condenser HVAC: Testing and Inspection

On-Vehicle Inspection

1. INSPECT CONDENSER FINS FOR BLOCKAGE OR DAMAGE
If the fins are clogged, wash them with water and dry with compressed air.

NOTICE: Be careful not to damage the fins.

If the fins are bent, straighten them with a screwdriver or pliers.

2. INSPECT CONDENSER AND FITTINGS FOR LEAKAGE
Using a gas leak tester, check for leakage.
If there is leakage, check the tightening torque at the joints.
