NOTE: Ford Motor Company vehicles are produced with R-134a Leak Tracer Dye incorporated into the A/C system. The location of leaks can be
pinpointed by the bright yellow-green glow of the tracer dye. Since more than one leak can exist, always inspect each component.
1. Check for leaks using a 120-watt UV spot lamp.
2. Scan all components, fittings and lines of the A/C system.
3. After the leak is repaired, remove any traces of leak dye with a general purpose oil solvent.
4. Verify the repair by operating the system for a short time and inspecting with the UV spot lamp.
