1-34 HEATER AND AIR CONDITIONING
9) Check for refrigerant leaks by using a HFC-134a leak
detector.
A fully charged system is indicated by the sight glass on
the receiver/drier being free of any bubbles (Refer to
"Reading Sight Glass").
Check the high and low pressure value of the manifold
gauge. (Refer to “CHECKING REFRIGERANT SYSTEM
WITH MAINFOLD GAUGE” in SERVICE
INFORMATION.)
Immediately after charging refrigerant, both high and low
pressures are slightly high and to the left of the gauge, but they
settle down to the guide pressure valves as shown below:
Ambient temperature; 3035C (8695F)
Guide pressure
High-pressure side;
Approx. 1373
1670 kPa (14
17 kg/cm

242 PSI)
Low-pressure side;
Approx. 127
245 kPa (1.3
2.5 kg/cm
2 / 18
36 PSI)
10) Close the low pressure hand valve and charge valve of the
refrigerant container.
11) Stop the air conditioning and the engine.
12) Disconnect the high and low pressure hoses from the
manifold gauge fittings.
