Stabilizing A/C System

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 125 other vehicles, including the 2003 Dodge Ram Van, 2002 Saturn Vue, 2002 Saturn SL2, 2002 Saturn SL1, and 2002 Saturn SL. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Once manifold gauge set is attached to system and test hoses have been purged, the system is ready for testing. Place all test hoses, gauge set and other equipment away from all moving parts of engine.
  2. Start engine and turn A/C controls to maximum cooling position (full cold or MAX A/C). Set blower on high speed. Open doors and/or windows. Operate system for 5-10 minutes. System should now be stabilized and ready for test readings.
