Fluorescent Dye Leak Detection
General EquipmentUV Leak Detector
1. Refer to: Air Conditioning (A/C) System Health
and Safety Precautions (100-00 General
Information, Description and Operation).
2. NOTE: Some vehicles may have signs of
refrigerant oil at the spring lock couplers. The
cause of this may be a procedure used in
production before installation of the fittings in
order to assist their assembly. When a spring
lock coupler is suspected of leaking, always
wipe the fitting clean and verify the leak with
R-134a Automatic Calibration Halogen Leak
Detector.
NOTE: The exact location of leaks can be
pinpointed by the bright yellow - green glow of
the tracer dye. Since more than one leak can
exist, always inspect each component.
• Locate the leaks. Check all components, fittings and lines of the A/C system for leaks.
General Equipment: UV Leak Detector
3. After the leak is found and rectified, remove any
traces of dye with a general purpose solvent.
4. Check the repair by operating the system for
some minutes and inspecting with the UV lamp
again.
