➢ Start the vehicle and check to see if the vents are actually blowing air.
➢ Then, using the thermometer, check the temperature inside the vent to ensure
it's 10 degrees below normal.
➢ Then, to get to the top side of the charge port, remove the engine cover.
➢ Next, use a UV light to inspect the a/c charge ports and all other components
of the air conditioning system for any leaks.
➢ To establish if there is gas in the system, connect the gauges to the vehicle
charging ports.
➢ The next step is to start the vehicle and listen for the compressor clutch to
engage. A clicking noise is usually heard as the compressor engages. When
the compressor does not engage, it usually means there isn't enough gas in
the storage. If it engages, it indicates that there is gas in the system.
➢ Using manifold gauges, check the compressor cut-in. The low side comes
down, and the high side comes up.
➢ Connect the manifold gauges, then switch on the high and low sides of the
machine, as well as the machine itself, and watch the gauges slowly come
around. And then wait 20 to 25 minutes for it to fully recover.
➢ Then begin the evacuation procedure.
➢ After you've gotten every last drop of gas out of the system. Switch off the
gauges and the pair.
➢ Then turn the back pump on, open the high side first, then the low side, and
let the low side point to vacuum. This means there are no clogs in the
system.
➢ Now, if you’ve noticed that the low side’s starting to pull down, you can
open up the low side and begin to fully evacuate.
➢ Now you run the vacuum and fill it with a mixture of dye and oil. Turn the
injector's low side off.
➢ Disconnect the injector from the low side of the cord.
➢ After screwing it down with the injector, remove it with a towel and replace
it with your pump, continuing to evacuate to eliminate any moisture and any
air left in the system.
➢ - You must evacuate the systems in order to remove any air or moisture. In a
vacuum, any water or moisture in the system will turn into a vapor, which
will then be sucked out.
➢ After you've finished evacuating, you'll need to re-gas your air conditioning
system.
➢ Turn on the vacuum pump, the scales, zero the scales, and open the high
side.
➢ Fill it up till the pressure is high enough for the compressor to kick in, and
then we can finish gassing it.
➢ Begin running the vehicle. You can then finish gassing on the low side.
➢ To avoid causing compressor damage, try to introduce the gas carefully.
➢ Turn off the gauges and flow the line through it to ensure we have the
correct reading.
➢ When the low side's temperature has dropped to a safe level, you can check
the AC in your vehicle.
➢ Turn the fan speed on. Check the temperature.
➢ To ensure that the air conditioning system is functioning properly. Check the
side gas and feel the low side port or suction side, which should be icy cold
to the touch.
➢ Check the low side now that you're full of gas to see whether it's coming
down, and make sure your high side isn't coming up too high, since if it
does, your compressor is cutting in.
