PRESSURE TEST USING MANIFOLD GAUGES
This is a method where trouble is detected and repaired by using manifold gauge. The manifold gauge indicates
the refrigeration cycle high and low pressure side pressures on the respective gauge.
(a) Under Normal operation manifold gauge should show following readings:
NOTE:
Make sure following conditions are fulfilled before getting the correct gauge readings (after the engine has
warmed - up)

1500 rpm
A/C inlet temperature
30° - 35° C (86° - 95° F)
Blower Speed
