Possible deviation from specified value during the pressure test (16 Of 32)

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
Possible deviation from specified value during the pressure test
  • The required cooling output is not attained in the heater and A/C unit evaporator (and in the evaporator for battery cooling).
  • The high pressure pipe corresponds to the specified value
  • Low pressure quickly drops to specified value or lower.
Possible causes for the deviation from specified value and their solutions
  • A/C compressor activation or functionality malfunctioning.
  • Constriction or obstruction in refrigerant circuit.
-- Check the activation and function of the A/C compressor and service. Use the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester in the "Guided Fault Finding  " function of the A/C system and the battery regulation. If not error can be determined run hand over refrigerant circuit to check for differences in temperature. Refer to REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT (vehicle-specific service information).-- If difference in temperature is found at one component: If the hose or pipe is kinked or constricted, replace this component. Refer to REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT (vehicle-specific service information). If there is a blockage clean the refrigerant circuit (flush with refrigerant R1234yf). Refer to REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT, CLEANING .
  • There is too little refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit.
-- Extract refrigerant from the refrigerant circuit. Refer to REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT, DISCHARGING .-- If the extracted refrigerant quantity is significantly less than the specified capacity (more that 100 g). Refer to TECHNICAL DATA (vehicle-specific service information), and look for leaks and correct. Refer to LEAKS, FINDING .-- If the extracted refrigerant quantity corresponds to the capacity or is only slightly smaller (maximum 100 g). (refer to TECHNICAL DATA (vehicle-specific service information) check the expansion valve and shut-off valve for function. Refer to REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT (vehicle-specific service information).
  • The expansion valve for the evaporator in the heater and A/C unit is faulty. Refer to REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT (vehicle-specific service information).
  • A Refrigerant Shut-Off Valve -- is faulty (closed). Use the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester in the "Guided Fault Finding  " function for the A/C system and the battery regulation and refer to REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT (vehicle-specific service information).
-- If equipped, check the function of the installed shut-off valve. Refer to REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT (vehicle-specific service information).-- Replace the expansion valve for the evaporator in the heater and A/C unit. Refer to REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT (vehicle-specific service information).
Final Procedures 
-- Charge the refrigerant circuit. Refer to REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT, CHARGING .-- Repeat the test. Refer to ELECTRICALLY-DRIVEN A/C COMPRESSOR, CHECKING PRESSURE WITH A/C SYSTEM SWITCHED ON .
