  1. Evacuate the refrigerant system to the lowest degree of vacuum possible (approximately -8 kPa (-26 in. Hg) or greater vacuum) for at least 30 minutes. Refer to PLUMBING, STANDARD PROCEDURE .
    CAUTION:

    Use only Chrysler LLC approved R-134a leak detection dye. It is important to use only high-quality refrigerant leak detection equipment. Small leaks may not be found using low-budget equipment. Failure to follow these instructions may result in an incomplete diagnosis and possible remaining refrigerant leaks.

  2. Prepare an R-134a dye injector with a Chrysler approved R-134a leak detection dye.
  3. Prepare the vehicle specific amount of R-134a refrigerant. Refer to REFRIGERANT, SPECIFICATIONS .
    NOTE:

    Anytime an R-134a leak detection dye has been added to the refrigerant system, a label indicating that dye has been added should be placed on the vehicle in plain view, for other technicians.

  4. Dispense the leak detection dye and the correct amount of R-134a refrigerant into the evacuated refrigerant system. Refer to PLUMBING, STANDARD PROCEDURE .
  5. Proceed to LEAK TEST .
