Fluorescent Dye Injection
NOTE:
Use only fluorescent dye approved by General Motors.
- Not all of the fluorescent dyes are compatible with PAG oil. Some types of dye decrease the oil viscosity or may chemically react with the oil.
- R-134A leak detection dye requires time to work. Depending upon the leak rate, a leak may not become visible for between 15 minutes and 7 days.NOTE: Do NOT overcharge the A/C system with dye.
- To prevent false diagnosis, thoroughly clean any residual dye from the service port with a rag and an approved fluorescent dye cleaner.
