3.
Check compressor Serial Number Date Code. (See example below)
^
If the compressor is manufactured after May 1987, the cylinder head has been modified.
^
If the compressor is manufactured prior to May 1987 and no yellow paint is noticeable, proceed to the following inspection procedures.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
In addition to the normal diagnosis of the A/C system, the following inspection procedures must be exercised:
1.
Precautions:
^
Halogen leak detector (Sensivity 0.5 oz/yr) should be used.
^
Probe tip of halogen leak detector should not touch any object. Faulty leak indication may result due to oil, water, etc.
^
Probe tip should not stay in the same spot any longer than two seconds. Faulty leak indication may result.
2.
Inspection Procedures:
^
Using compressed air, blow area to be checked or use a clean towel to wipe away any oil deposits which may have been left from assembly.
^
Start the engine and run the air conditioner for 2 to 3 minutes at idle.
^
Turn off the engine and wait for 2 to 3 minutes.
NOTE:
Refrigerant R-12 easily disolves in oil and the presence of oil can cause a false indication of leakage.
^
Using leak detector, check for leakage at the area shown.
NOTE:
Be sure to move the probe tip around while checking.
^
If leakage is evident, blow air and check for leakage once again. If the leak detector still indicates leakage, the compressor should be
replaced.
