Low-Pressure Side Is Low

  1. CHECK REFRIGERANT LEAKS. 

    Check the refrigerant for leaks. Refer to HVAC SYSTEM (HEATER, VENTILATOR AND A/C)>REFRIGERANT LEAK CHECK>INSPECTION .

    NOTE: When high-pressure side is less than 0.69 Mpa: Go to step 2.

    Are there refrigerant leaks?

    Yes:  Repair the refrigerant leaking points.

    No:  Go to  2.

  2. FILL PROPER AMOUNT OF REFRIGERANT. 

    Drain all refrigerant, and refill proper amount of refrigerant.

    Is refrigerant pressure within the standard value?

    Yes:  Refrigerant pressure is normal.

    No:  Go to  3.

  3. REPLACE EXPANSION VALVE. 

    Replace the expansion valve. Refer to HVAC SYSTEM (HEATER, VENTILATOR AND A/C)>EXPANSION VALVE>REMOVAL .

    Is refrigerant pressure within the standard value?

    Yes:  Refrigerant pressure is normal.

    No:  Inspect the compressor. Refer to HVAC SYSTEM (AUTO A/C) (DIAGNOSTICS)>DIAGNOSTICS WITH PHENOMENON>DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE WITH PHENOMENON>COLD AIR DOES NOT COME OUT EVEN WHEN THE A/C SWITCH IS PRESSED. THE GLASS CANNOT BE DEFOGGED. (COMPRESSOR DOES NOT OPERATE.) .
