System Charging
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 10 other vehicles, including the 2009 Honda S2000, 2008 Honda S2000, 2007 Honda S2000, 2006 Honda S2000, and 2005 Honda S2000. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
- Air conditioning refrigerant or lubricant vapor can irritate your eyes, nose, or throat.
- Be careful when connecting service equipment.
- Do not breathe refrigerant or vapor.
NOTE:
- If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate the work area before resuming service.
- Additional health and safety information may be obtained from the refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.
- Connect an R-134a refrigerant recovery/recycling/ charging station (A) to the high-pressure service port (B) and the low-pressure service port (C), as shown, following the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
- Recover the refrigerant in the A/C system (see REFRIGERANT RECOVERY ).
- Evacuate the system (see SYSTEM EVACUATION ). If the system cannot reach a vacuum of -93.3 kPa (700 mmHg, 27.6 in.Hg) in 15 minutes, or cannot hold a vacuum for at least 15 minutes, there is probably a leak. Do the refrigerant leak check (see REFRIGERANT LEAK CHECK ), and repair any leaks before charging the system.
- Add the same amount of new refrigerant oil to the system that was removed during recovery. Use only SP-10 refrigerant oil.
- Charge the system with the specified amount of R-134a refrigerant. Do not overcharge the system; the A/C compressor will be damaged.
Select the appropriate units of measure for your refrigerant charging station.
Refrigerant Capacity:
400 to 450 g
0.40 to 0.45 kg
0.9 to 1.0 lbs
14.1 to 15.9 oz
- Check for refrigerant leaks (see REFRIGERANT LEAK CHECK ).
- Check the system performance (see A/C SYSTEM TEST ).
