#2. TROUBLESHOOTING
TROUBLESHOOTING OVERVIEW
Troubleshooting includes collecting enough information to locate the cause of the problem, then correcting the problem and its cause by replacement,
adjustment, and/or repairing. You begin by gathering
information from the most to the least important
sources.
Starting with the most important:
1. Your personal knowledge and experience with
AC systems.
2. The vehicle operators knowledge and experience
- question him or her.
3. The work order.
4. Good testing equipment and the Heater/AC system.
The routine you follow when troubleshooting should
proceed from the most to least productive way to
locating the problem and fixing the cause.
Experienced troubleshooters talk to the operator if
they can, then personally verify the symptoms of
the problem whenever possible. They attempt quick
fixes on the basis of their knowledge of common system problems and causes when appropriate. They
know where components are located, and make
repairs when they have a good idea of what the
problem is. They fix the cause or causes as well as
the immediate problem.
INITIAL INSPECTION
Before you begin to trouble shoot with the manifold
gauge set, follow the procedures as shown in Topic
#1, INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE. This
chapter outlines the required inspections below:
1. Visual Inspection
2. Electrical System Inspection
3. Performance Inspection
4. Heater System Inspection.
As stated in Topic #1, conducting this preliminary
evaluation can help eliminate potential problems.
TROUBLESHOOTING USING MANIFOLD GAUGE SET
Manifold Gauge Set Installation
REFRIGERANT ESCAPING UNDER PRESSURE CAN CAUSE SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY.
Never hook up the gauge set when the engine and
air conditioner are running. Be sure all the valves on
the manifold are closed all the way (turn them clockwise). Check the hose connections on the manifold
for tightness.

**
When inspecting the compressor, run the system for at least five (5) minutes
(40F minimum outside temperature), to circulate oil and lubricant components.
*** To guard against the damaging effects of moisture in your air conditioning
system, check the moisture indicator on the receiver-drier once monthly, as
specified on the Preventive Maintenance Schedule above. Dependent on the
degree of contamination, a color change will be evident in the drier sight glass.
