Halogen Leak Detector
WARNING:
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 .
NOTE:
Halogen leak detectors are sensitive to the following items:
- Some adhesives used in the vehicle
- Many solvents and cleaners
- Windshield washing solutions
Clean and dry all surfaces in order to prevent a false warning. Liquids will damage the detector.
NOTE:
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 halogen leak tester.
