If necessary, briefly switch on the engine and air conditioning to facilitate the location of leaks in the high-pressure lines. NOTE:It is only possible to perform tests using the electronic leak tester if there is still refrigerant in the system. NOTE:Heavy dirt build-up, such as oil on the refrigerant lines or components, indicates a leak. Leakage If a leak is detected, empty the air conditioning system, repair the leak, renew faulty parts and refill the air conditioning system. Pinpoint Test Three values are needed in order to diagnose a fault: - Low pressure
- High pressure
- Compressor on-off cycles
Connect the test equipment The test can only be performed correctly if the following conditions are satisfied: - Close the hand valves on the pressure connections. Connect the pressure connections to the high pressure and low pressure sides of the air-conditioning system.
- Start the engine, set the air conditioning system to maximum cooling, recirculated air and blower on the highest speed.
- Run the engine at 1500 rev/min.
Reference values - high and low pressure The high and low pressure values measured depend on the ambient temperature. This relationship is shown on the graph and the chart. The area between the two curves is the tolerance range, within which the pressure gauge reading must lie. Reference values - high pressure 2 - Ambient temperature (°C) Reference values - low pressure 2 - Ambient temperature (°C) Reference values: switching cycles The following three illustrations show the reference values for the compressor switching cycle. Measure the cycles using a stopwatch and write down the results. If the measured values are not within the limits indicated on the figure, this indicates that there is a fault in the refrigerant circuit. Refer to the symptom chart in this sub-section. NOTE:The total cycle time is the time switched on plus the time switched off. Reference values, time switched on 2 - Ambient temperature (°C) Reference values, time switched off 2 - Ambient temperature (°C) Reference values, total cycle time 2 - Ambient temperature (°C) Checking the switching cycle The following conditions must be satisfied when testing the switching cycle: - Connect the pressure connections to the high pressure and low pressure sides.
- Start the engine and run it for about 10 minutes at about 1500 rev/min.
- Set the air conditioning system to full cooling power and recirculated air mode.
- Set the blower to the highest setting.
- Set the interior temperature to about 22°C.
- Measure the switching cycles using a stopwatch and write down the results.
- Read off the pressure values from the manometer, make a note of them and compare them with the reference values in the diagram.
After comparing the noted values with the reference values, for example five variations can be found. Compare these results with the symptom chart on the following pages in order to determine the cause of the fault. Example: - High pressure - too low
- Low pressure - normal
- Switching cycles - too short
- Clutch on - too short
- Clutch off - too short
Fault: not enough refrigerant in system.
