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.

LEAK TESTING REFRIGERANT
SYSTEM
Test for leaks whenever you suspect a refrigerant leak in
the system. You should also test for leaks whenever you
perform a service operation which results in disturbing the
lines or the connections. Leaks are commonly found at the
refrigerant fittings or at the connections. Leaks are com-
monly caused by the following problems:
S Improper torque.
S Damaged O–ring seals.
S Dirt or lint on the O–ring seals.
Liquid Leak Detectors
Use a liquid leak detector solution on locations such as fit-
tings. Apply the solution to the area in question with the
swab that is supplied with the solution. Look for bubbles
to appear. This will indicate the existence and the location
of any leak.
For areas where this is not practical, such as sections of
the evaporator and the condenser, an electronic leak de-
tector is more useful.
Electronic Leak Detectors
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for calibration, op-
eration, and maintenance of an electronic leak detector.
Battery condition is especially important to the accuracy
of a portable model. Set the detector to R–134a before be-
ginning the test.
Notice : Electronic leak detectors are sensitive to wind-
shield washing solutions, solvents and cleaners, and cer-
tain vehicle adhesives. Surfaces must be clean to prevent
false readings. Make sure that all surfaces are dry to pre-
vent damage to the detector.
General Testing Instructions
1. Follow the entire path of the refrigerant system.
2. Completely circle each joint at 25 to 50 mm (1 to 2
inches) per second.
3. Hold the probe tip within 6 mm (1/4 inch) of the sur-
face.4. Do not block the air intake.
5. The audible tone changes from 1 to 2 clicks per
second into a solid alarm if there is a leak. Adjust
the balance control to maintain 1 to 2 clicks per
second.
6. Test all of the following areas, even after one leak
has been confirmed:
S Evaporator inlet and outlet.
S Receiver–drier inlet and outlet.
S Condenser inlet and outlet.
S Brazed and welded areas.
S Damaged areas.
S Hose couplings.
S Compressor rear head.
S All fittings and joints.
Testing Service Ports/Access Valves
The sealing caps provide protection for the service ports.
Make sure that these caps are not missing or loose. Al-
ways use the correct cap for each port.
Testing the Evaporator Core
Leaks in the evaporator core are difficult to find. Test the
evaporator core using the following procedure:
1. Run the blower fan at the maximum speed setting
for at least 15 minutes.
2. Turn the blower OFF.
3. Wait for 10 minutes.
4. Remove the blower motor resistor. Refer to Section
7A, Heating and Ventilation System.
5. Insert the leak detector probe as close as possible
to the evaporator core. The detector will indicate a
leak with a solid alarm.
6. Use a flashlight to search for refrigerant oil on the
core surface.
Testing the Compressor Shaft Seal
1. Blow shop air behind and in front of the compressor
clutch/pulley for at least 15 seconds.
2. Wait 1 to 2 minutes.
3. Probe the area in front of the pulley. If the detector
emits a solid alarm, there is a leak.
