AIR CONDITIONING 
03 - Conducting a Performance Check

 

 

SG03-4

TC070-15-01H

 

4.  Start engine and hold at 1,500 rpm.  
 
5.  After the blower air is stabilized, read the dry-bulb thermometer.  
 

Dry-bulb temperature                        °C 

 
6.  Verify that the temperature reading is in the shaded zone.  
 

INFORMATION POINT 

Stabilized refrigerant pressures occur when maximum high side pressure remains 
the same each time the compressor cycle off. This pressure should not vary with 
the cycles. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
(If the pressure reading is out of the specification, inspect the refrigerant system 
according to the troubleshooting chart in the Workshop Manual.) 

 

 

NOTE 

It is acceptable for outlet temperatures to be cooler than the specification. If you 
perform the test in an air-conditioned shop, your reading will not match the 
temperature/humidity zone charts. 

 

KEY POINT 

Because of individual comfort zones, customer perception of air conditioning 
performance varies. The customer may not understand the effect of humidity, solar 
gain, vehicle color, and glass area on vehicle cooling. 

 
Use this performance check to confirm that a customer’s A/C system is operating to 
manufacturer’s specifications. This check also helps guide you towards the problem 
during diagnosis.
