  2. RECOVER REFRIGERANT FROM REFRIGERATION SYSTEM


    1. Start the engine.

    2. Operate the cooler compressor under the conditions shown below:

      Item Condition Indicator
      Operating Time 3 minutes or more -
      Temperature setting Max cool -
      Blower speed High A01G9SU
      Engine Idling -
      A/C switch On A01G57E

      This causes most of the compressor oil from the various components of the A/C system to collect in the A/C compressor.

      Tech Tips

      It is not necessary to operate the cooler compressor if the A/C does not operate because of compressor lock, etc.

    3. Stop the engine.
