HOW TO USE:
- Prepare the System: Ensure the A/C system is properly charged or evacuated as per manufacturer guidelines, and that the vehicle is in a safe working condition.
- Select Injector: Choose an appropriate dye injector (e.g., refillable inline injector or syringe injector) compatible with your A/C system and the dye bottles.
- Load the Dye: Open one 0.25 oz bottle of Tracerline A/C dye and carefully pour or inject its entire contents into the dye injector.
- Inject the Dye: Connect the dye injector to the low-side service port of the A/C system. Follow the injector’s instructions to safely inject the dye into the system. Typically, this involves opening the valve on the injector and allowing the system pressure to draw the dye in.
- Run the System: Start the vehicle and run the A/C system on its coldest setting for at least 5–10 minutes. This circulates the dye thoroughly throughout the refrigerant and oil within the system.
- Inspect for Leaks: Using a high-intensity UV leak detection lamp (blacklight) and yellow-enhancing glasses, scan all A/C components, hoses, fittings, and connections.
- Identify Leaks: Leaks will appear as a bright, glowing green area where the dye has escaped with the refrigerant or oil. Pinpoint the exact location of the leak(s).
- Repair and Verify: After identifying and repairing the leak, it is recommended to re-run the A/C system and re-scan with the UV lamp to confirm the repair was successful and no new leaks are present. The dye can remain in the system for future checks.
