Possible Leak Area Diagnostic Procedure with theLeak Detector Notes
21-95
4. With the engine OFF, use a halogen leak detector first to detect the leak source. Follow a continuous path in order
to ensure that you will not miss any possible leaks. Test the following areas of the system for leaks:

 





 


Service Ports Check the service ports with
the detector.
If the detector ‘‘sniffs’’ a leak,
use fluorescent dye to
confirm it. When capping the service ports, ensure that the seals
on the port caps are in place, and that the caps are
tight. The caps are used as the final seals in the
system.
Condenser If the detector ‘‘sniffs’’ a leak, use fluorescent dye to confirm it. Check for joints or connections coated with oily
dust.
Check for damaged and corroded areas.
Check all fittings, couplings, brazed/welded areas
and areas around attachment points.
Move the probe slowly (1 inch/second or less), and
keep it within 1/4 inch of the component being
checked. This maximizes the chance of detecting a
leak.
If you detect a leak, blow compressed air over the
area, then recheck for leaks. For large leaks,
clearing the area with compressed air may help
you pinpoint the leak source.
A/C Lines (Low
pressure side) Wiggle the rubber hoses
when checking crimped metal
ends.
If the detector ‘‘sniffs’’ a leak,
use fluorescent dye to
confirm it. Check all fittings, couplings, pressure switches,
brazed/welded areas, and areas around attachment
points on A/C lines and components.
Check for damaged and corroded areas.
Move the probe slowly (1 inch/second or less), and
keep it within 1/4 inch of the component being
checked. This maximizes the chance of detecting a
leak.
5. Close the quick coupler valves, then disconnect the quick couplers from the vehicle service ports.
6. Attach the universal connect set, from the Optimax Jr. Leak Detection Kit, to the service valve fitting. Close the control valve (the black knob on the connect set).
7. Attach the charging station low pressure hose quick coupler to the service valve fitting, and open the quick coupler valve. Evacuate the connect set using the charging station vacuum pump, then close the quick coupler
valve.
8. Detach the universal connect set, and install a Tracer-Stick
dye capsule between the connect set and the service
valve fitting (see the manufacturer’s instructions for more detail).
9. Attach the quick coupler on the universal connect set to the low pressure service port on the vehicle. Open the charging station low pressure hose quick coupler valve, but do not open the control valve.
10. Start the engine, and set the A/C system to MAX A/C. Open the control valve to let refrigerant and the dye enter the A/C system through the low pressure service port. Close the control valve when the Tracer-Stick
dye capsule
is empty.
11. Run the engine and A/C system for 15 minutes to thoroughly circulate the dye. Then shut the engine off, and inspect the following areas of the system for leaks.

21-98Climate Control
A/C System Noise Check (cont’d)
5. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), and check the
drive belt for excessive wear, oil contamination,
improper routing, or a faulty belt tensioner
(see page 4-30). Correct any problems found. Start
the engine, run the A/C system, and check if the
noise is coming from the drive belt, the belt
tensioner or any of the pulleys. Repair or replace
any faulty components.
6. Listen for noises coming from the A/C lines, the A/C hoses, the condenser, the evaporator, the receiver/
drier, or the expansion valve, and check these
items:
 Noises caused by A/C components touching other components or the body. Reroute or
insulate the A/C component(s) as needed, and
recheck for noise.
 Loose, damaged or excessively worn A/C components or mounting hardware. Repair or
replace the faulty component(s) or hardware, and
recheck for noise.
 A moaning noise coming from the A/C suction line. If there is a moaning noise, check the
system refrigerant charge (see page 21-92). If the
refrigerant charge is OK, replace the receiver/
dryer.
7. Check the operation of the A/C compressor clutch:  Make sure compressor clutch engages withoutslipping. If the clutch does not engage,
troubleshoot the A/C compressor clutch circuit
(see page 21-62). If the compressor clutch slips,
replace the complete clutch assembly (see page
21-86).
 Make sure the compressor clutch disengages. If the clutch does not disengage, do the A/C
compressor clutch check (see page 21-85). If the
compressor clutch is OK, replace the A/C
compressor (see page 21-83).
 Make sure the compressor clutch cycles normally. If the compressor clutch is cycling rapidly, the
A/C system is probably low on refrigerant due to
a leak. Do the refrigerant leak check (see page
21-93). If the refrigerant charge is OK, and there
are no leaks, troubleshoot the A/C compressor
clutch circuit. 8. Listen with a stethoscope for noises coming from
the A/C compressor, and check these items:
 The noise changes when the compressor clutch disengages. If the noise does not change when
the A/C compressor disengages, the noise may
be caused by an engine-related component.
Probe the engine area with a stethoscope to
pinpoint the noise.
 The A/C system operating pressures are normal. If the system pressures are abnormal,
troubleshoot the problem using the pressure test
table in the A/C system check (see page 21-99).
Correct the pressure-related problem(s), and
recheck for noise.
 The compressor hose connections, mounting brackets, and fasteners are in good condition. If
any of these components are loose, damaged, or
excessively worn, repair or replace the faulty
component(s), and recheck for noise. If these
components are in good condition, and the noise
is still present, replace the A/C compressor
(see page 21-83).

21-103






Suction and
discharge pressures
are normal
Warm air from the vents. The A/C system
contains too much
refrigerant oil.
The air mix door is
not operating
properly.Recover refrigerant (see page 21-90)
and evacuate the system (see page
21-91). Adjust the amount of oil in
the system, then recharge the
system (see page 21-92).
Check air mix door operation
(see page 21-72), and repair as
needed.
Suction and
discharge pressures
are roughly equal
and steady The suction and
discharge pressures
equalize when the engine
is revved. The A/C compressor
clutch or the drive
belt is slipping, or the
compressor shaft
seal is leaking.Check whether the A/C compressor
clutch or the drive belt is slipping.
If the drive belt is slipping, replace
the drive belt (see page 4-31). Also
inspect the drive belt auto-tensioner
(see page 4-31).
If the A/C compressor clutch is
slipping, replace it (see page 21-86).
Check the A/C compressor shaft seal.
If it’s leaking, replace the A/C
compressor (see page 21-83).
Suction and
discharge pressures
are roughly equal but
fluctuate Suction and discharge
pressures fluctuate while
running. Pressures
equalize as soon as the
A/C compressor
disengages. The compressor
discharge valve or
the compressor
gasket is faulty.
Replace the A/C compressor (see page
21-83).
Suction and
discharge pressures
are roughly equal
and abnormally low The suction and
discharge pressures do
not change during
continued operation. The A/C system is
undercharged.
Recover refrigerant (see page 21-90),
then do the refrigerant leak check
(see page 21-93). Repair any leaks,
then recharge the system (see page
21-92).
Suction and
discharge pressures
are abnormally high,
but normalize when
the condenser is
cooled The suction pressure
decreases when cool
water is sprayed on the
A/C condenser.
The A/C system is
overcharged.
Recover refrigerant (see page 21-90),
evacuate the system (see page 21-91),
and recharge the system to
specifications (see page 21-92).

System Description (cont’d)
Certain inputs happen so quickly that the HDS cannot update fast enough. Hold the switch that is being tested while monitoring the Data List.
This should give the HDS time to update the signal on the Data List.
Because the HDS software is updated to support the release for newer vehicles it is not uncommon to see system function tests that are not
supported.
Make sure that the most current software is loaded.
