If repairing the A/C system or replacing a com ponent, pour the HFC-134a (R-134a) fluorescent leak
detection dye (J-41447) directly into the open system connection and proceed with the service
procedures.
3. Connect the refrigerant dye injector (J- 41459) to the low-pressure service valve.
4. Start the engine and switch the A/C system ON.
5. When the A/C system is operating (compressor runni ng), inject one bottle 7.4 cc (1/4 ounce) of HFC-134a
(R-134a) fluorescent leak detection dye (J-41447) th rough the low-pressure service valve using HFC-
134a (R-134a) dye injector (J-41459). Refer to the manufacturer's operating instructions.
6. With the engine still running, disconnect the HFC-134a (R -134a) dye injector (J-41459) from the low-pres-
sure service valve.
7. Operate the A/C system for a minimum of 20 minut es to mix the HFC-134a (R-134a) fluorescent leak
detection dye (J-41447) with the A/C system oil. Depending on the leak size, operating conditions and
location of the leak, it may take from minutes to days for the HFC-134a (R-134a) fluorescent leak detec-
tion dye to penetrate an A/C system leak and become visible.
Electronic Refrigerant Leak DetectorINFOID:0000000003533310
PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING LEAK DETECTOR
NOTE:
When performing a refrigerant leak check, use a electr onic refrigerant leak detector (J-41995) or equivalent.
Ensure that the electronic refrigerant leak detector (J-41995) is calibrated and set properly according to the
manufacturer's operating instructions.
The electronic refrigerant leak detector (J-41995) is a delicate
device. To use the electronic refrigerant leak detector (J-41995)
properly, read the manufacturer's operating instructions and perform
any specified maintenance.
1. Position the probe approximately 5 mm (3/16 in) away from the point to be checked as shown.
2. When checking for leaks, circle each fitting completely with the probe as shown.

SHA706E

ATC-168
< SERVICE INFORMATION >
REFRIGERANT LINES
3. Move the probe along each component at a speed of approxi-mately 25 - 50 mm (1 - 2 in)/second as shown.
CHECKING PROCEDURE
NOTE:
To prevent inaccurate or false readings, make sure t here is no refrigerant vapor, shop chemicals, or cigarette
smoke in the vicinity of the vehicle. Perform the leak test in a calm area (low air/wind movement) so that \
the
leaking refrigerant is not dispersed.
1. Turn the engine OFF.
2. Connect the manifold gauge set (J-39183-C) to the A/C service ports. Refer to ATC-150, "
HFC-134a (R-
134a) Service Procedure".
3. Check if the A/C refrigerant pressure is at least 345 kPa (3.52 kg/cm
2 , 50 psi) above a temperature of
16 °C (61 °F). If less than specification, recover/evacuat e and recharge the system with the specified
amount of refrigerant. Refer to ATC-150, "
HFC-134a (R-134a) Service Procedure".
NOTE:
At temperatures below 16 °C (61 °F), leaks may not be detected since the system may not reach 345 kPa
(3.52 kg/cm
2 , 50 psi) pressure.
4. Perform the leak test from the high-pressure side (front A/C compressor discharge “a” to evaporator inlet
“f” or rear piping connection “l”) to the low-pressure side (front A/C evaporator drain hose “g” to shaft seal
“k” and rear A/C evaporator drain hose “o” to piping connection “r”). Refer to ATC-152, "
Component".
Clean the component to be checked and carefully move the electronic refrigerant leak detector probe
completely around the following connections and components.
• Check the compressor shaft seal
• Check the high and low-pressure pipe and hose fittings, relief valve, and compressor shaft seal
• Check the liquid tank
• Check the refrigerant pressure sensor
• Check all around the service valves. Check that the service valve caps are screwed tightly on the ser-
vice valves (to prevent leaks).
NOTE:
After removing manifold gauge set (J-39183-C) from the service valves, wipe any residue from the ser-
vice valves to prevent any false readings by the electronic refrigerant leak detector (J-41995).
• Evaporator
With engine OFF, turn blower fan on “High” for at l east 15 seconds to dissipate any refrigerant trace in
the heater and cooling unit assembly. Wait a minimum of 10 minutes accumulation time (refer to the
manufacturer's recommended procedure for actual wait time) before inserting the electronic refrigerant
leak detector probe into the heater and cooling unit assembly drain hose.
NOTE:
Keep the probe inserted for at least 10 seconds. Use c aution not to contaminate the probe tip with water
or dirt that may be in the drain hose.
5. If a leak is detected, verify at least once by blow ing compressed air into the area of the suspected leak,
then repeat the leak check.
6. Do not stop when one leak is found. Continue to c heck for additional leaks at all system components and
connections.
7. If no leaks are found, perform steps 8 - 11.
8. Start the engine.
9. Set the heater A/C controls as follows: NOTE:
For the automatic system, turn OF F the automatic controls and set the heater A/C controls manually.
a. A/C switch to ON

c. Intake position to RECIRCULATION mode
d. Temperature to MAX cold
e. Blower fan speed to HIGH
10. Run the engine at 1,500 rpm for at least 2 minutes.
11. Turn the engine OFF and perform the leak check again following steps 4 through 6 above.
Refrigerant leaks should be chec ked immediately after turning
the engine OFF. Begin with the leak detector at the compressor.
The pressure on the high pressure side will gradually drop after
the refrigerant circulation stops and pressure on the low pres-
sure side will gradually rise, as shown in the graph. Some leaks
are more easily detected when the pressure is high.
12. Before connecting the recovery/recycling equipment to the vehicle, check the recovery/recycling equip-
ment gauges. No refrigerant pr essure should be displayed. If pressure is displayed, recover the refriger-
ant from the equipment lines and then check the refrigerant purity.
13. Confirm refrigerant purity in supply tank using recovery/recycling equipment and refrigerant identifier
equipment (J-41810-NI).
14. Confirm the refrigerant purity in the vehicle's A/C system using recovery/recycling equipment and refriger-
ant identifier equipment (J-41810-NI).
15. Discharge the A/C system using recovery/recycling equipment. Repair the leaking fitting or component as
necessary.
16. Evacuate and recharge the A/C system and perform the leak test to confirm that there are no refrigerant
leaks.
17. Conduct the Operational Check to ens ure system works properly. Refer to ATC-50, "
Operational Check
(Front)" and ATC-51, "Operational Check (Rear)".
