SYSTEM EMPTY
- Evacuate the refrigerant system to the lowest degree of vacuum possible (approximately -8 kPa (-26 in. Hg) or greater vacuum) for at least 30 minutes. Refer to «PLUMBING, STANDARD PROCEDURE»(/jeep/grand-cherokee/wk2-2010-2013/remont/ac-compressor/#heating-air-conditioning-service-information) . CAUTION: Use only Chrysler LLC approved R-134a leak detection dye. It is important to use only high-quality refrigerant leak detection equipment. Small leaks may not be found using low-budget equipment. Failure to follow these instructions may result in an incomplete diagnosis and possible remaining refrigerant leaks.
- Prepare an R-134a dye injector with a Chrysler approved R-134a leak detection dye.
- Prepare the vehicle specific amount of R-134a refrigerant. Refer to «REFRIGERANT, SPECIFICATIONS»(/jeep/grand-cherokee/wk2-2010-2013/remont/ac-compressor/#heating-air-conditioning-service-information) . NOTE: Anytime an R-134a leak detection dye has been added to the refrigerant system, a label indicating that dye has been added should be placed on the vehicle in plain view, for other technicians.
- Dispense the leak detection dye and the correct amount of R-134a refrigerant into the evacuated refrigerant system. Refer to «REFRIGERANT SYSTEM CHARGE»(/jeep/grand-cherokee/wk2-2010-2013/remont/ac-compressor/#heating-air-conditioning-service-information__refrigerant-system-charge) .
- Refer to «LEAK TEST»(/jeep/grand-cherokee/wk2-2010-2013/remont/ac-compressor/#heating-air-conditioning-service-information__leak-test) .
