DIAGNOSIS
GENERAL DIAGNOSIS
TESTING THE REFRIGERANT
SYSTEM
If you suspect a problem in the refrigerant system, check
for the following conditions:
1. Check the outer surfaces of the radiator and the
condenser cores to be sure that the airflow is not
blocked by dirt, leaves, or other foreign material.
Check between the condenser and the radiator, as
well as all outer surfaces.
2. Check for restrictions or kinks in the condenser
core, the hoses, and the tubes.
3. Check the operation of the blower fan.
4. Check all the air ducts for leaks or restrictions. Low
airflow rate may indicate a restricted evaporator
core.
5. Check for slippage of the compressor clutch.
6. Check the drive belt tension.
INSUFFICIENT COOLING ”QUICK
CHECK” PROCEDURE
Perform the following ”hand–feel” procedure to get a quick
idea of whether the A/C system has the proper charge of
Refrigerant–134a. The air temperature must be above
21°C (70°F) for most models.
1. Warm up engine. Run the engine at idle.
2. Open the hood and all the doors.
3. Turn the A/C switch ON.
4. Set the temperature control to the full cold position.
5. Set the blower speed switch on the maximum
speed setting.
6. ”Hand–feel” the temperature of the evaporator out-
let pipe. The pipe should be cold.
7. Check for other problems. Refer to ”Testing the Re-
frigerant System” in this section.
8. Leak check the system. Refer to ”Leak Testing the
Refrigerant System” in this section. If you find a
leak, discharge the system and repair the leak as
required. After completing the repair, evacuate the
system and charge it.
9. If there is no leak, refer to ”Insufficient Cooling
Diagnosis” in this section.
