Refrigerant Leak Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Chevrolet Corvette. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT: General Motors vehicles are now manufactured with fluorescent dye installed directly into the air conditioning (A/C) system.

The fluorescent dye mixes and flows with the polyalkylene glycol (PAG) oil throughout the refrigerant system.

Verifying some passive leaks may require using the J 39400-A  , even though the A/C system contains fluorescent dye. See Special Tools and Equipment .

The only time that adding additional fluorescent dye is required is after flushing the A/C system.
