Refrigerant Leak Check (cont’d)
A
C B
Use only Tracer-Stick single dose fluorescent dyecapsules from Tracerline
. Other dyes contain
solvents that may contaminate the refrigerant oil,
leading to component failure.
Adding excessive amounts of dye can damage the compressor.
PAG oil is water soluble, so condensation on the evaporator core or the refrigerant lines may wash the
PAG oil and fluorescent dye away from the actual
leak. Condensation may also carry dye through the
evaporator module drain.
After checking and repairing leaks, thoroughly clean any residual dye from the areas where leaks were
found. Use GLO-AWAY dye cleaner, from Tracerline
,
and hot water to remove the dye (follow the
instructions on the bottle). Residual dye stains can
cause misdiagnosis of any future A/C system leaks.
If any refrigerant dye contacts an exterior paint surface, remove it by doing this:
– Carefully wash the affected surfaces to remove any dirt, and to prevent paint scratching.
– Mix water and isopropyl alcohol in a 50/50 mixture.
– Soak a soft 100 percent cotton towel with the water/ alcohol mixture, and place the cloth on the affected
areas to remove the dye.
– After removing the dye with the water/alcohol- soaked cloth, carefully wash the affected areas, and
check that there is no remaining dye. 1. Connect an R-134a refrigerant recovery/recycling/
charging station (A) to the high-pressure service
port (B) and the low-pressure service port (C), as
shown, following the equipment manufacturer’s
instructions.
2. Recover refrigerant from the A/C system (see page 21-90), and evacuate the system (see page 21-91). If
the system achieves a vacuum of approximately
93.3 kPa (700 mmHg, 27.6 in.Hg) in 15 minutes, and
holds the vacuum for 15 minutes, then the system
does not have a leak at this time. If the system
cannot achieve or hold a vacuum, continue the
refrigerant leak check.
3. Open the high pressure valve to charge the system to the specified capacity.
Select the appropriate units of measure for your
refrigerant charging station.

Wiring Precautions
Precautions for Electrical Inspections
24-16SRS
Precautions and Procedures (cont’d)
Some of the SRS wiring can be identified by a special
yellow outer covering, and the SRS connectors can be
identified by their yellow color. Observe the following
instructions:
Never attempt to modify, splice, or repair SRS wiring. If there is an open or damage to the SRS wiring,
replace the harness.
Be sure to install the harness wires so they do not get pinched or interfere with other parts.
Make sure all SRS ground locations are clean, and grounds are securely fastened for optimum metal-to-
metal contact. Poor grounds can cause intermittent
problems that are difficult to diagnose.
Do not use any silicone based cleaners or lubricants on any SRS connectors or terminals. When using electrical test equipment, insert the
probe of the tester into the wire side of the connector.
Do not insert the probe of the tester into the terminal
side of the connector, and do not tamper with the
connector.
Use backprobe adapter 07TAZ-001020A. Do not insert the probe forcibly.
Use specified service connectors in troubleshooting. Using improper tools could cause a diagnostic error
due to poor metal-to-metal contact.

NOTE:
To prevent damage to the c onnector cavity, insert
short canceller straight into the cavity from the
terminal side.
Before installing a short canceller, wash it with electrical contact cleaner, then dry it with
compressed air.
Do not use a short canceller if it is damaged.
Make sure to remove the short canceller before reconnection.
Some systems store data in memory that is lost when the battery is disconnected. Before disconnecting the
battery, refer to Battery Terminal Disconnection and
Reconnection (see page 22-68).
When SRS unit connectors A (28P) and B (28P) are
disconnected, a short circuit is automatically created in
the connector by its own function to pr event an airbag
deployment. The circuit may need to be open
sometimes when testing the system. Insert a short
canceller (070AZ-SAA0100) in the specified cavities
when necessary to keep the circuit open for testing. Terminal numbers are shown from the wire side of the
female terminals. Insert the short canceller(s) into the
cavities on the terminal side of connector.
