Rodeo LS 4WD V6-3.2L (1998)
4. Connect the high pressure charging hose of the manifold gauge to the high pressure side service valve of the vehicle.
5. Place the refrigerant container(3) up right on a weight scale(4).
Note the total weight before charging the refrigerant.
a. Open the refrigerant container valve.
b. Open the low side vale on the manifold gauge set. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for a weight scale charging station.
6. Perform a system leak test:
- Charge the system with approximately 200 g (0.44 lbs) of HFC-134a.
- Make sure the high pressure valve of the manifold gauge is closed.
- Check to ensure that the degree of pressure does not change.
- Check for refrigerant leaks by using a HFC-134a leak detector.
- If a leak occurs, recover the refrigerant. Repair the leak and start all over again from the first step of evacuation.
7. If no leaks are found, continue charging refrigerant to the air conditioning system.
- Charge the refrigerant until the scale reading decreases by the amount of the charge specified.
