Air Conditioning System Performance Check
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2021 Jaguar I-Pace, 2020 Jaguar I-Pace, and 2019 Jaguar I-Pace. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
- Normal pressures for a correctly charged and working system at climate control setting Lo - Lo setting in normal workshop temperature (15°C and 25°C) are 1.0 bar gauge to 2.0 bar gauge (low pressure system) and 11.0 bar to 15.0 bar (high pressure system).
- Normal temperature (measured at the center air vent) for a correctly charged and working system is approximately 2°C to 9°C when the ambient temperature is between 15°C and 25°C.
When a failure symptom has been reproduced, refer to the symptom chart. After completing a repair, the air conditioning performance check should be repeated to confirm that the repair is successful
- Close the valves on the air conditioning station
- Connect the air conditioning station to the vehicle charging ports
- Check that the gauges register pressure
- Open all doors and the tailgate
- Start the vehicle - READY - will be displayed on the instrument cluster
- Set the temperature to the lowest setting Lo-Lo (all zones, deselect smart climate)
- Blower speed is set to maximum
- System set to recirculation mode
- Set the air conditioning to on and check that the gauges register a change in pressure
- Insert a temperature probe into the center air vent
- Check the pressure gauge readings
- Check the temperature reading
