Service Ports
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2003 GMC Yukon XL, 2003 GMC Yukon, 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2003 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The sealing cap is the primary seal for the service ports. The cap contains an O-ring gasket that provides a leak-free seal. Install the cap tightly for leak-free sealing. The following conditions will cause a refrigerant loss:
- A loose cap
- A missing cap
- An incorrect cap
Use J 42220 or J 39400-A in order to test the service ports and sealing caps for leaks.
To prevent a false diagnosis, thoroughly clean any residual dye from the service port or sealing cap with a rag and the approved fluorescent dye cleaner J 43872 .
