Hold the gas leak detector sensor under the drain hose.
When bringing the gas leak detector close to the drain hose, make sure that the gas leak
detector does not react to volatile gases.
If such reaction is unavoidable, the vehicle must be lifted up.
c. If a gas leak is not detected on the drain hose, remove the blower motor control (blower resistor)
from the cooling unit. Insert the gas leak detector sensor into the unit and perform the test.
d. Disconnect the connector and leave the pressure switch for approximately 20 minutes. Bring the
gas leak detector close to the pressure switch and perform the test.
e. Bring the gas leak detector close to the refrigerant lines and perform the test.
f. Remove the air duct No. 2.
g.Using a gas leak detector, check for leakage of refrigerant from evaporator and joint.

If there is leakage, check the tightening torque at the joints or evaporator.
