Possible Deviation from Specified Value During the Pressure Test (6 of 11)

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
Possible deviation from specified value during the pressure test
  • The required cooling output is not attained in the heater and A/C unit evaporator (and in the evaporator for battery cooling).
  • The high pressure pipe corresponds to the specified value
  • The low pressure corresponds to the specified value or is too low
Possible causes for the deviation from specified value and their solutions
  • The activation of the A/C compressor and if equipped the Refrigerant Shut-Off Valve 1 -- / the Refrigerant Shut-Off Valve 2 -- is faulty. use the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester in the "Guided Fault Finding" function for the A/C system and the battery regulation.
-- Check the activation and function of the A/C compressor (and if equipped the Refrigerant Shut-Off Valve 1 -- and the Refrigerant Shut-Off Valve 2 --) and if necessary service. use the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester in the "Guided Fault Finding" function of the A/C compressor and the battery regulation. If this is OK extract refrigerant from the refrigerant circuit.
  • There is too little refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit.
-- Extract refrigerant from the refrigerant circuit. Refer to REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT, DISCHARGING .-- If the extracted refrigerant quantity is significantly less than the specified capacity (more that 100 g (3.5 oz)). Refer to Technical Data (vehicle-specific service information), and look for leaks and correct. Refer to LEAKS, FINDING .-- If the extracted refrigerant quantity corresponds to the specified capacity or is only slightly smaller (less than 100 g (3.5 oz)). Refer to Technical Data (vehicle-specific service information) and Technical Data . Check the Refrigerant Shut-Off Valve -- for function. Refer to the Refrigerant Circuit (vehicle-specific service information).
  • The expansion valve for the evaporator in the heater and A/C unit is faulty. Refer to Refrigerant Circuit (vehicle-specific service information).
  • A Refrigerant Shut-Off Valve -- is faulty (closed). use the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester in the "Guided Fault Finding" function for the A/C system and the battery regulation and refer to Refrigerant Circuit (vehicle-specific service information).
-- If equipped, check the function of the installed shut-off valve. Refer to Refrigerant Circuit (vehicle-specific service information).-- Replace the expansion valve for the evaporator in the heater and A/C unit. Refer to Refrigerant Circuit (vehicle-specific service information).
  • Too much refrigerant oil in the refrigerant circuit.
-- Clean the refrigerant circuit (flush with refrigerant R1234yf). Refer to REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT, CLEANING .-- Replace the expansion valve for the evaporator in the A/C unit (and for the evaporator for battery cooling) as well as the desiccant bag/dryer cartridge (or receiver/receiver/dryer). Refer to COMPONENTS, REPLACING and Refrigerant Circuit (vehicle-specific service information).
Final Procedures
-- Charge the refrigerant circuit. Refer to REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT, CHARGING .-- Repeat the test. Refer to ELECTRICALLY-DRIVEN A/C COMPRESSOR, CHECKING PRESSURE WITH A/C SYSTEM SWITCHED ON .
