Leak Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Mazda 6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Inspect for leakage using the gas leak tester.
    • If there is no leakage, go to Step  3.
    • If leakage is found at a loose joint, tighten the joint, then go to the next step.
  2. Inspect for leakage again.
    • If there is no leakage after tightening the joint, go to the next step.
    • If there is still leakage at the same joint, discharge the refrigerant and then repair the joint. Repeat the charging procedure from evacuation.
  3. Disconnect the quick couplers from the charging valves.
  4. Install the caps to the charging valves.
