On-vehicle inspection
1. INSPECT REFRIGERANT PRESSURE WITH MANIFOLD GAUGE SET
(a) This method uses a manifold gauge set to locate problem areas. Read the manifold gauge pressure when these conditions are established.
Test conditions:
(b) Gauge readings (Reference)
(1) Normally functioning refrigeration system
Gauge reading
(2) The A/C system periodically changes between normal and improper function due to moisture in the refrigerant system.
(3) The A/C system does not function effectively due to insufficient cooling.
(4) The A/C system does not function effectively due to poor circulation of the refrigerant.
(5) The A/C system does not function intermittently because the refrigerant does not circulate.
(6) The A/C system does not function effectively due to overcharged refrigerant or insufficient cooling of the condenser.
(7) The A/C system does not function due to air in the refrigeration system.
CAUTION: The low-pressure piping may be very hot and cause serious burns. |
(8) The A/C system does not function effectively due to an expansion valve malfunction.
(9) The A/C system does not function due to a defective compressor.
