Vacuum Check Valve
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Jeep Liberty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Remove the vacuum check valve. The valve is located in the vacuum supply line (black) at the HVAC system vacuum tee.
- Connect the test set vacuum supply hose to the A/C-heater control side of the vacuum check valve. When connected to this side of the check valve, no vacuum should pass and the test set gauge should return to the 27 kPa (8 in. Hg.) setting. If OK, go to step 3. If not OK, replace the faulty vacuum check valve.
- Connect the test set vacuum supply hose to the engine vacuum side of the vacuum check valve. When connected to this side of the check valve, vacuum should flow through the check valve without restriction. If not OK, replace the faulty vacuum check valve.
