AUTOMOTIVE HOW TO: A/C SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS FOR BEGINNERS

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

This is a beginners tutorial on how your automotive (134a) air conditioning system works. Hopefully this gives beginners and diy owners an idea of how their system works and how to diagnose certain problems.

    Excellent video! So glad I watched it. I have an 06 CRV with a new compressor replaced last year. During the summer it was cooling so well it would absolutely freeze me. Oddly enough I noticed on a warm day in December it wasn't cooling. I assumed the coolant had leaked out and got one of those DIY kits from WM to put some coolant back in it. To my surprise, when I hooked up the hose to the low side, I got high pressure in the red range on the gauge. Now, I at least have a clue as to why the low-pressure side is high. I did not have the expansion valve replaced when I had the new compressor installed! What seemed like sorcery and rocket science before now kinda makes sense! I'm going to my guy and have the expansion valve replaced. A/C starting to make sense. This is scary, but fun! 1000 thanks for a great video!!!

    Thanks man! this helped me diagnose a bad wire that was intermittently turning off the fan. I noticed the high pressure would increase all the way beyond 300 as I filled in freon, even with 4 oz in the system. I thought it was a clog or something, thought the expansion valve was bad. If I just knew a little foundation to the AC system I would of known instantly the fan wasn't cooling the condenser, duh!. Thank you!

    Really good video sir and your material was spot on. One suggestion would be that once proper condenser fan operation is verified, always place a really good fan in front of the vehicle to replicate air across the condensor while driving when reading and/or adjusting pressures.

I have found that a lot of people just "blindly" add R134 when their a/c does not cool sufficiently. I hope to see a part in this series going into a little more advanced scenarios.

    You did an excellent video on different (test) scenarios as related to pressure, AC temp, and diagram. Do most regular shops do AC services, or a customer has to go to an AC specialist? When filling freo, what is normal pressure to achieve when car engine is on 30 on low, 170-200 on high? I don't want to put too little or too much freon. I know this probably also depends on outside temp and humidity.
