– Observe pressure gauge of service station.
Note
♦
The switch pressures for the A/C compressor regulator valve
-N280- and the Radiator fan -V7- are vehicle specific.
♦
Pressures must be measured at service connections; compo‐
nent locations of these connections are vehicle-specific. Refer
to ⇒ Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning; Rep. Gr. 87 ;
Diagnosis and Testing (vehicle-specific repair manual).
♦ Specified values for the refrigerant circuit pressures, refer to
