WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 Buick Cascada, 2018 Buick Cascada, and 2017 Buick Cascada. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

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.

The leak testing procedure with halogen leak detector only works when a pressure exist in the vehicle A/C system. That means the refrigerant leakages by the pressure within the A/C system. Is the A/C filling device connected via high pressure and low pressure on the vehicle the pressure is readable at the manometer.

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.

NOTE:

Halogen leak detectors are sensitive to the following items:

Some adhesives used in the vehicle
Many solvents and cleaners
Windshield washing solutions

NOTE:

Clean and dry all surfaces in order to prevent a false warning. Liquids will damage the detector.
