Inspection procedure
1.CHECK WITH A GAUGE OF RECOVERY/RECYCLING RECHARGING EQUIPMENT
Connect the recovery/recycling recharging equipment to the vehicle and perform the pressure inspection with the gauge.
Is there refrigerant?
YES - GO TO 2.
NO-1 - Check for refrigerant leakages with the refrigerant leakage detecting fluorescent leak detector. Refer to Fluorescent Leak Detector.
NO-2 - GO TO 2 after repairing or replacing the parts according to the inspection results.
2.CHECK CHARGED REFRIGERANT AMOUNT
1. Connect recovery/recycling recharging equipment to the vehicle and discharge the refrigerant. Refer to
Refrigerant.
2. Recharge with the proper amount of refrigerant. Refer to Refrigerant.
3. Perform the inspection with the refrigerant leakage detecting fluorescent leak detector. Refer to Fluorescent Leak Detector, "Inspection".
Is the inspection result normal?
YES - GO TO 3.
NO - Refill the refrigerant and repair or replace the parts according to the inspection results.
3.PERFORM THE PERFORMANCE TEST
Connect recovery/recycling recharging equipment to the vehicle and perform the performance test. Refer to Performance Chart.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES - GO TO 4.
NO - Perform the diagnosis with the gauge pressure. Refer to Trouble Diagnosis For Unusual Pressure.
4.CHECK SETTING OF TEMPERATURE SETTING TRIMMER
