WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada, 2002 GMC Envoy XL, 2002 GMC Envoy, and 2002 Chevrolet TrailBlazer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
Do not operate the detector in a combustible atmosphere since its sensor operates at high temperatures or personal injury and/or damage to the equipment may result.
Ensure that the vehicle has at least 0.45 kg (1 lb) of refrigerant in the A/C refrigeration system in order to perform a leak test. Refer to Refrigerant Recovery and Recharging for recharging the A/C system.
IMPORTANT:
Halogen leak detectors are sensitive to the following items:
- Windshield washing solutions
- Many solvents and cleaners
- Some adhesives used in the vehicle
Clean and dry all surfaces in order to prevent a false warning. Liquids will damage the detector.
IMPORTANT:
Follow a continuous path in order to ensure that you will not miss any possible leaks. Test all areas of the system for leaks.
Follow the instructions supplied with the J 39400-A Halogen Leak Detector. See Special Tools and Equipment .
