Refrigerant Leak Check: Notes

Special Tools Required 

*These tools are available through the Honda Tool and Equipment Program; call 888-424-6857

CAUTION:
  • Air conditioning refrigerant or lubricant vapor can
  • irritate your eyes, nose, or throat.
  • Be careful when connecting service equipment.
  • Do not breathe refrigerant or vapor.
  • Do not operate the leak detector near flammable vapors. Its sensor operates at high temperatures, and could ignite the vapors, resulting in personal injury and/or damage to the equipment.
  • IMA components are located near A/C system components. Make sure you have read the IMA service precautions before doing repairs or service.
NOTE:
  • If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate the work area before resuming service.
  • Additional health and safety information may be obtained from the refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.
  • Check the system for leaks using an R-134a refrigerant leak detector with an accuracy of 14 g (0.5 oz) per year or better
