  1. Follow diagnostic methods described in the SI but include information from ALD test write-ups as well as the inspection reports. Confirm this information with the MDI (when possible) prior to repair. Clear all DTC's after work
  2. Employ and record refrigerant information from recovery equipment when confirming charge. Do not employ Vacuum only recovery equipment. This equipment does not have the ability to measure vehicle refrigerant charge, nor the amount of lubricant removed.
  3. Refrigerant Leak Detection may be hampered since dye circulation may not have sufficiently occurred. Therefore, use of the electronic leak detector is mandatory. If leak dye is required, injection of additional service dye (as per SI) is authorized (up to 1/4oz service dye)
