  1. Feel suction line (1) and discharge line (2) in order to check the system for refrigerant.

    If the system contains refrigerant, the discharge line will be warmer than the suction line.

    If the system contains no refrigerant or the system contains only a small amount of refrigerant, poor cooling will result.

  1. If poor cooling is experienced, turn off the air conditioner. Stop the engine. Consult your AVSpare Dealer for air conditioner system service.
