Performance Test
The performance test will help determine if the air con-
ditioner system is operating within specitications.
Only use service equipment that is U.L.-listed and is cer-
tified to meet the requirements of SAE J2210 to remove
HFC-134a {R-134a) from the air conditioner system.
CAUTION: Exposure to air conditioner relrig€rant and
lubricant vapor ot mist can irritate eyes, nose and
throat. Avoid breathing the air conditioner rstrigerant
and lubricant vapor or mi3t.
It accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work
area before resuming service.
R-134a service equipment or vehicle air conditioner sys-
tems should not be pressure tested or leak tested with

Additional health and safety information may be
obtained from the refrigerant and lubricant manufactur-
ers.
1. Connect a R-134a refrigerant Recovery/Recycling/
Charging System to the car, as shown, iollowing
the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
2. Insert a thermometer in the center vent outlet.
Determine the relative humidity and air temperature
by calling the local weather information line,
3. Test conditions:
. Avoid direct sunlight.
. Open hood.
. Open front doors
. Set the temperature control lever to MAX COOL,
the mode control switch on VENT and the recir-
culation control switch on RECIRCULATE.
. Slide the heater fan switch on MAX
. Run the engine at 1,500 rPm
. No driver or passengers in vehicle.
4. After running the air conditioning for 10 minutes
under the above test conditions. read the delivery
temperature from the thermometer in the dash vent
and the high and low system pressure from the A,/C
gauges.

1. When an Ay'C System has been opened to the atmo-
sDhere, such as during installation or repair, it must
be evacuated using a R-134a refrigerant Recovery/
Recycling/Charging System. {lf the system has been
open for several days, the receiver/dryer should be
replaced.l
2. Connect a R-134a refrigerant Recovery/Recycl-
ing/Charging System to the car, as shown, follow-
ing the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
NOTE; lf tow pressure does not reach more than
93.3 kPa (700 mm Hg, 27.6 in'Hg) in 15 minutes,
there is probably a leak in the system. Partially
charge the system and check tor leaks {see Leak
Test).

NOTE: Be sure to install the same amount of new
refrigerant oil back into the A/C system before
chargtng.
2. Open high pressure valve to charge the system to
about 98 kPa (1.0 kgf/cm', 14 psi), then close the
supply valve.
3. Check the system for leaks using a R-134a refriger-
ant leak detector with an accuracy of '!4 g {0.5 oz)
per year or better.
4. lf you find leaks that require the system to be
opened (to repair or replace houses, fittings, etc.),
recover the system according to the Recover
Procedure on page 22-22.
5. Aiter checking and repairing leaks, the system must
be evacuated (see System Evacuation gn page 22-
