Operational Test
Before beginning test, install air conditioning gauge set, apply parking brake, and operate engine at 1500 RPM in "NEUTRAL". Set A/C control on "MAX" with blower on "LO".
- Check evaporator pressure. If it is 30 psi or less, and outlet air temperature is too warm, replace expansion valve capsule.
- If evaporator pressure is above 30 psi, even with blower motor wire disconnected, replace the POA valve.
- If evaporator pressure is 29 psi (±1), and outlet air temperature is normal, partially cover the condenser to obtain a head pressure of 300 psi. If evaporator pressure rises above 30 psi, replace the expansion valve. If evaporator pressure remains at 29 psi, there is a possibility of moisture in the system, and a new desiccant bag may be indicated.
