SPECIAL SERVICE TOOL(S)
1. Prior to recovering the refrigerant system, you must verify the purity of the refrigerant. See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/Identifying Refrigerants
2
.Connect the R- 134a A/C Refrigerant Center to the low- and high-pressure service gauge port valves.
NOTE: Some R-134a service centers require the use of an A/C manifold gauge set. See: Service and Repair/Manifold Gauge Set Connection
3. Recover the refrigerant from the system following the operating instructions provided by the equipment manufacturer.
4. Once the Refrigerant Center has recovered the vehicle A/C system refrigerant, close the Refrigerant Center inlet valve (if so equipped). Then
switch off the power supply.
5. Allow the vehicle A/C system to remain closed for about two minutes. Observe the system vacuum level as shown on the gauge. If the pressure
does not rise, disconnect the refrigerant center hose(s).
6. If the system pressure rises, repeat steps 2 through 5 until the vacuum level remains stable for two minutes
7. Perform the required repair(s), then evacuate and recharge the A/C system. See: Service and Repair/Evacuation and Charging Procedure
