WARNING: Take the following precautions when repairing an air conditioning system
containing R-134a:
 Always wear safety goggles.

 Avoid contact with liquid refrigerant R-134a. R-134a vaporizes at
approximately -25°C (-13°F) under atmospheric pressure and will
freeze skin tissue.
 Never allow refrigerant R-134a gas to escape in quantity in an
occupied space. It will displace the oxygen needed to support life.
 Never use a torch in an atmosphere containing R-134a gas. R-134a is
non-toxic at all normal conditions, but it decomposes when exposed
to high temperatures such as a torch flame. During decomposition it
releases irritating and toxic gasses (as described in the MSDS sheet
from the manufacturer). Decomposition products are hydrofluoric
acid, carbon dioxide and water.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
CAUTION: To avoid damaging the vehicle or air conditioning (A/C) components, the
following precautions must be observed.
 The A/C refrigerant of all vehicles must be identified and analyzed

prior to refrigerant charging. Failure to do so can contaminate the
shop bulk refrigerant and other vehicles.
 Do not add R-12 refrigerant to an A/C system that requires the use of
R-134a refrigerant. These 2 types of refrigerant must never be mixed.
Doing so can damage the A/C system.
 Charge the A/C system with R-134a refrigerant gas while the engine
is running only at the low-pressure side, to prevent refrigerant
slugging from damaging the A/C compressor.
 Use only R-134a refrigerant. Due to environmental concerns, when
the A/C system is drained, the refrigerant must be collected using
refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment. Federal, State/Provincial
and/or local laws REQUIRE that R-134a be recovered into appropriate
recovery equipment and the process be conducted by qualified
technicians who have been certified by an approved organization,
such as ASE, MACS, HRAI, etc. Use of a recovery machine dedicated
to R-134a is necessary to reduce the possibility of oil and refrigerant
incompatibility concerns. Refer to the instructions provided by the
equipment manufacturer when removing refrigerant from or charging
the A/C system.
 Refrigerant R-134a must not be mixed with air for leak testing or used
with air for any other purpose above atmospheric pressure. R-134a is
combustible when mixed with high concentrations of air and higher
pressures.

 A number of manufacturers are producing refrigerant products that

are described as direct substitutes for refrigerant R-134a. The use of
any unauthorized substitute refrigerant can severely damage the A/C
components. If repair is required, use only new or recycled
refrigerant R-134a.
CAUTION: To avoid contamination of the air conditioning (A/C) system, the following
precautions must be observed.
 Never open or loosen a connection before recovering the refrigerant.

 When loosening a connection, if any residual pressure is evident,
allow it to leak out before opening the fitting.
 Evacuate a system that has been opened to install a new component
or one that has discharged through leakage before charging.
 Seal open fittings with a cap or plug immediately after disconnecting
a component from the system.
 Clean the outside of the fittings thoroughly before disconnecting a
component from the system.
 Do not remove the sealing caps from a new component until ready to
install.
 Refrigerant oil will absorb moisture from the atmosphere if left
uncapped. Do not open an oil container until ready to use and install
the cap immediately after using. Store the oil in a clean, moisture-free
container.
 Install a new O-ring seal before connecting an open fitting. Coat the
fitting and O-ring seal with PAG oil before connecting.
 When installing a refrigerant line, avoid sharp bends. Position the
line away from the exhaust or any sharp edges that can chafe the
line.
 Tighten threaded fittings only to specifications. The steel and
aluminum fittings used in the refrigerant system will not tolerate
overtightening.
 When disconnecting a fitting, use a wrench on both halves of the
fitting to prevent twisting of the refrigerant lines or tubes.
 Do not open a refrigerant system or uncap a new component unless
it is as close as possible to room temperature. This will prevent
condensation from forming inside a component that is cooler than
the surrounding air.
The electronic manual temperature control (EMTC) system heats or cools the vehicle depending on the HVAC
module - EMTC control panel selection.
 The HVAC module - EMTC control panel selections determine heating or cooling, air distribution and
Microsoft

enables blower motor operation.

 The temperature control setting determines the air temperature.
 The blower motor switch varies the blower motor speed.
 During A/C operation the system also reduces the relative humidity of the air.
The dual automatic temperature control (DATC) system maintains the selected vehicle interior temperature by
heating and/or cooling the air.
 During A/C operation the system also reduces the relative humidity of the air.
 The driver may override the automatic mode of operation.
 The temperature control setting determines the air temperature.
 The blower motor control override buttons vary the blower motor speed.
 The driver side and passenger side temperature settings can be individually controlled.
The system consists of the following components:
 A/C compressor
 A/C compressor clutch assembly
 A/C condenser core with A/C receiver/drier
 A/C evaporator core
 Connecting refrigerant lines
 Thermostatic expansion valve (TXV)
 A/C pressure transducer
 Heater core and evaporator core housing
 HVAC module - EMTC or HVAC module - DATC
 Blower switch (EMTC systems)
 Temperature blend door actuators

External Temperature Display
The external temperature is displayed when the EXT button is pressed. While the actual external temperature
can vary continuously, the value that is displayed will update at a specific rate depending on whether or not the
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
engine is "hot" and whether or not the vehicle is moving.
When the external temperature is rising, the display will update slowly. Updates (when the actual external
temperature is higher than currently displayed value) will be limited to 0.6°C (1°F) every 20 seconds while the
vehicle is moving at 40 kph (25 mph) or greater for more than 90 seconds or 0.6°C (1°F) every 20 minutes if the
vehicle is not moving at this speed. This is to prevent the heat from the engine compartment from affecting the
accuracy of the display.
When the external temperature is dropping, the display will update quickly.
Updates (when the actual external temperature is lower than currently displayed value) will only be limited to
0.6°C (1°F) every 2 seconds (regardless of vehicle speed). Consequently, the display will essentially follow the
drop experienced by the external temperature thermistor.
Climate Control System Operation

Principles of Operation
There are 4 main principles involved with the basic theory of operation:
 Heat transfer
 Latent heat of vaporization
 Relative humidity
 Effects of pressure
Heat Transfer
If 2 substances of different temperature are placed near each other, the heat in the warmer substance will
transfer to the colder substance.
Latent Heat of Vaporization
When a liquid boils (converts to gas) it absorbs heat without raising the temperature of the resulting gas. When
the gas condenses (converts back to a liquid), it gives off heat without lowering the temperature of the resulting
liquid.
Relative Humidity
The amount of moisture (water vapor content) that the air can hold is directly related to the air temperature. The
more heat there is in the air, the more moisture the air can hold. The lower the moisture content in the air, the
more comfortable it is. Removing the moisture from the air lowers its relative humidity and improves personal
comfort.
Effects of Pressure on Boiling or Condensation
As the pressure is increased on a liquid, the temperature at which the liquid boils (converts to gas) also
increases. Conversely, when the pressure on a liquid is reduced, its boiling point is also reduced. When in the
gas state, an increase in pressure causes an increase in temperature, while a decrease in pressure will decrease
the temperature of the gas.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
Compressor Anti-Slugging Strategy (CASS)
Liquid refrigerant may accumulate in the A/C compressor under certain conditions. To alleviate damage to the
A/C compressor, the compressor anti-slugging strategy (CASS) is utilized.
CASS is initiated only under specific conditions:
 Ignition is OFF for more than 8 hours

 Ambient temperature is above -4°C (25°F)
 Battery voltage is above 8.5 volts during engine cranking
When these conditions are present, the PCM will activate the A/C control relay prior to cranking of the engine.
The A/C control relay engages the A/C compressor for approximately 4-15 A/C compressor revolutions or a
maximum of 2 seconds (depending upon vehicle application), allowing the liquid refrigerant to be pushed from
the A/C compressor. CASS is initiated by the PCM regardless of the HVAC - EMTC or the HVAC - DATC
system settings.
The Refrigerant Cycle
During stabilized conditions (A/C system shutdown), the refrigerant pressures are equal throughout the system.
When the A/C compressor is in operation it increases pressure on the refrigerant vapor, raising its temperature.
The high-pressure and high-temperature vapor is then released into the top of the A/C condenser core.
The A/C condenser, being close to ambient temperature, causes the refrigerant vapor to condense into a liquid
when heat is removed from the refrigerant by ambient air passing over the fins and tubing. The now liquid
refrigerant, still at high pressure, exits from the bottom of the A/C condenser and enters the inlet side of the A/C
receiver/drier. The receiver/drier is designed to remove moisture from the refrigerant.
The outlet of the receiver/drier is connected to the thermostatic expansion valve (TXV). The TXV provides the
orifice which is the restriction in the refrigerant system and separates the high and low pressure sides of the A/C
system. As the liquid refrigerant passes across this restriction, its pressure and boiling point are reduced.
The liquid refrigerant is now at its lowest pressure and temperature. As it passes through the A/C evaporator, it
absorbs heat from the airflow passing over the plate/fin sections of the A/C evaporator. This addition of heat
causes the refrigerant to boil (convert to gas). The now cooler air can no longer support the same humidity level
of the warmer air and this excess moisture condenses on the exterior of the evaporator coils and fins and drains
outside the vehicle.
The refrigerant cycle is now repeated with the A/C compressor again increasing the pressure and temperature of
the refrigerant.
A thermistor which monitors the temperature of the air that has passed through the evaporator core controls A/C
clutch cycling. If the temperature of the evaporator core discharge air is low enough to cause the condensed
water vapor to freeze, the A/C clutch is disengaged by the vehicle PCM.
The high-side line pressure is also monitored so that A/C compressor operation will be interrupted if the system
pressure becomes too high or is determined to be too low (low charge condition).
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
The A/C compressor thermal protection switch will interrupt compressor operation if the compressor housing
exceeds temperature limits.
The A/C compressor relief valve will open and vent refrigerant to relieve unusually high system pressure.

Normal Operation
Under normal operation, to rotate the blend door actuator, the HVAC module - electronic manual temperature
control (EMTC) or HVAC module - dual automatic temperature control (DATC) supplies voltage to the
actuator motors through the door actuator clockwise circuits, and supplies ground through the door actuator
counterclockwise circuits. To reverse the actuator rotation, the HVAC module - EMTC or HVAC module -
DATC reverses the voltage and ground circuits.
The actuator feedback resistors are supplied a ground from the HVAC module - EMTC or HVAC module -
DATC by the door actuator return circuits and a 5-volt reference voltage on the door actuator reference circuits.
The HVAC module - EMTC or HVAC module - DATC reads the voltage on the blend door actuator feedback
circuits to determine the door actuator position, by the position of the actuator feedback resistor wiper arm.

Pinpoint Test N: The Blower Motor is Inoperative - DATC
Normal Operation
Under normal operation, the blower motor relay coil receives a ground from the HVAC module - dual
automatic temperature control (DATC) through circuit CH123 (VT/GN). The coil receives ignition voltage
through circuit CBP45 (YE). Voltage is supplied to the relay switch contact through circuit CH402 (YE/GN).
When the relay coil is energized, voltage is delivered to the blower motor control module through circuit
CH402 (YE/GN)/(BK). Ground for the blower motor speed control is provided by circuit GD116 (BK/VT)/
(BK/RD). The HVAC module - DATC provides a blower target speed signal to the blower motor speed control
through circuit VH101 (WH/VT)/(RD) to control the blower speed. The actual blower speed signal is provided
to the HVAC module - DATC through circuit CH102 (YE/BU)/(BN) from the blower motor speed control.

NOTE: Testing of returned heater cores reveals that a large percentage of heater

a heater core leak is suspected, the heater core must be tested by
following the plugged heater core component test before the heater core
Microsoft

pressure test. Carry out a system inspection by checking the heater

system thoroughly as follows:
1. Inspect for evidence of coolant leakage at the heater hose to heater core attachments. A coolant leak in the
heater hose could follow the heater core tube to the heater core and appear as a leak in the heater core.
NOTE: Spring-type clamps are installed as original equipment. Installation and

overtightening of non-specified clamps can cause leakage at the heater
hose connection and damage the heater core.
2. Check the integrity of the heater hose clamps.
Heater Core - Plugged
1. Check to see that the engine coolant is at the correct level.

2. Start the engine and turn on the heater.
3. When the engine coolant reaches operating temperature, feel the heater core inlet and outlet hoses to see
if they are hot.
4. If the outlet only is not hot:
 the heater core may have an air pocket.
 the heater core may be plugged.
5. If the inlet only is not hot:

 the thermostat may not be working correctly.
Heater Core - Pressure Test
Use the Pressure Test Kit to carry out the pressure test.
NOTE: Due to space limitations, a bench test may be necessary for pressure
testing.
1. Drain the coolant from the cooling system.

2. Disconnect the heater hoses from the heater core.
3. Install a short piece of heater hose, approximately 101 mm (4 in) long on each heater core tube.
4. Fill the heater core and heater hoses with water and install the 2 plugs BT-7422-B and the adapter BT-
7422-A from the Pressure Test Kit. Secure the heater hoses, plug and adapter with hose clamps.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
Fig. 109: Heater Core With Adapter & Plug

5. Attach the pump and gauge assembly from the Pressure Test Kit to the adapter.
6. Close the bleed valve at the base of the gauge. Pump 138 kPa (20 psi) of air pressure into the heater core.
7. Observe the pressure gauge for a minimum of 3 minutes.
8. If the pressure drops, check the heater hose connections to the core tubes for leaks. If the heater hoses do
not leak, remove the heater core from the vehicle and carry out the bench test.
Heater Core - Bench Test
1. Remove the heater core from the vehicle.

2. Drain all of the coolant from the heater core.
3. Connect the 101 mm (4 in) test heater hoses with plug and adapter to the core tubes. Then connect the
Pressure Test Kit to the adapter.
4. Apply 138 kPa (20 psi) of air pressure to the heater core. Submerge the heater core in water.
5. If a leak is observed, install a new heater core.
Fig. 110: Bench Testing Heater Core

Evaporator/Condenser Core - On-Vehicle Leak Test
1. Recover the refrigerant. Refer to Air Conditioning (A/C) System Recovery, Evacuation and
Charging.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
NOTE: For evaporator core testing only.
2. Remove the thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) from the evaporator core.
NOTE: For condenser core testing only.
3. Disconnect the condenser-to-evaporator line spring lock coupling and the compressor-to-condenser
discharge line middle fitting.
4. Connect the appropriate test fitting to the evaporator core TXV connection.
5. Connect the appropriate test fittings to the condenser-to-evaporator line spring lock coupling, condenser
side and the compressor-to-condenser discharge line middle fitting, condenser side.
NOTE: The automatic shut-off valves on some gauge set hoses do not open when
connected to the test fittings. If available, use hoses without shut-off
valves. If hoses with shut-off valves are used, make sure the valve opens
when attached to the test fittings or install an adapter that will activate the
valve. The test is not valid if the shut-off valve does not open.
6. Connect the red and blue hoses from the R-134a Manifold Gauge Set to the test fittings on the evaporator
core or condenser core. Connect the yellow hose to a known good vacuum pump.
7. Open both gauge set valves and start the vacuum pump. Allow the vacuum pump to operate for a
minimum of 45 minutes after the gauge set low pressure gauge indicates 101 kPa (30 in-Hg). The 45-
minute evacuation is necessary to remove any refrigerant from oil left in the evaporator core or condenser
core. If the refrigerant is not completely removed from the oil, outgassing will degrade the vacuum and
appear as a refrigerant leak.
8. If the low pressure gauge reading will not drop to 101 kPa (30 in-Hg) when the valves on the gauge and
manifold set are open and the vacuum pump is operating, close the gauge set valves and observe the low
pressure gauge. If the pressure rises rapidly to zero, a large leak is indicated. Recheck the test fitting
connections and gauge set connections before installing a new evaporator core or condenser core.
9. After evacuating for 45 minutes, close the gauge set valves and stop the vacuum pump. Observe the low
pressure gauge; it should remain at the 101 kPa (30 in-Hg) mark.
 If the low pressure gauge reading rises 34 or more kPa (10 or more in-Hg) of vacuum from the 101
kPa (30 in-Hg) position in 10 minutes, a leak is indicated.
 If a very small leak is suspected, wait 30 minutes and observe the vacuum gauge.
 If a small amount of vacuum is lost, operate the vacuum pump with gauge valves open for an
additional 30 minutes to remove any remaining refrigerant from the oil in the evaporator core or
condenser core. Then recheck for loss of vacuum.
Microsoft

ELECTRONIC LEAK DETECTION
Special Tools
Heated Pentode Halogen Leak

Detector
NOTE: Good ventilation is necessary in the area where electronic A/C leak testing is to
be carried out. If the surrounding air is contaminated with refrigerant gas, the
Heated Pentode Halogen Leak Detector will indicate this gas all the time. Odors
from other chemicals such as antifreeze, diesel fuel, disc brake cleaner or other
cleaning solvents can cause the same problem. Using a fan to ventilate the area
to be tested before proceeding with the leak detection procedure is helpful in
removing small traces of contamination from the air, but the fan should be
turned off during actual testing.
NOTE: R-134a is heavier than air, and will tend to move downward from the source of
the leak if present. It is possible that a leak may not be detected if the leak
detector tip is held above the leaking fitting, line or component. Always be sure
to thoroughly leak test below the fitting, line or component for the presence of
R-134a as well as leak testing above and around.
NOTE: The system pressure should be between 413-551 kPa (60-80 psi) at 24°C

WARNING: Take the following precautions when repairing an air conditioning system
containing R-134a:
 Always wear safety goggles.

 Avoid contact with liquid refrigerant R-134a. R-134a vaporizes at
approximately -25°C (-13°F) under atmospheric pressure and will
freeze skin tissue.
 Never allow refrigerant R-134a gas to escape in quantity in an
occupied space. It will displace the oxygen needed to support life.
 Never use a torch in an atmosphere containing R-134a gas. R-134a is
non-toxic at all normal conditions, but it decomposes when exposed
to high temperatures such as a torch flame. During decomposition it
releases irritating and toxic gasses (as described in the MSDS sheet
from the manufacturer). Decomposition products are hydrofluoric
acid, carbon dioxide and water.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
CAUTION: An air conditioning (A/C) refrigerant analyzer must be used before the
recovery of any vehicle's A/C refrigerant. Failure to do so puts the shop's
bulk refrigerant at risk of contamination. If the vehicle's A/C refrigerant is
contaminated, refer the customer to the service facility that carried out the
last A/C service. If the customer wishes to pay the additional cost, use the
A/C recovery equipment that is designated for recovering contaminated
A/C refrigerant. All contaminated A/C refrigerant must be disposed of as
hazardous waste. For all equipment, follow the equipment manufacturer
procedures and instructions.
CAUTION: Receiver/drier desiccant bag, thermostatic expansion valve (TXV), and

hoses with mufflers should be removed when flushing the air conditioning
(A/C) system. Internal plumbing of these devices makes it impossible to
correctly remove any residual-flushing agent. These components are
typically discarded after A/C system contamination. Hoses without
mufflers can normally be reused unless they are clogged with foreign
material. The 3.785L (1 gal) of A/C System Flushing Solvent YN-23 and
FL1-A filter used in A/C Flush and Purge Machine 219-00022 are intended
for use on one vehicle only. They may be used to flush both the A/C
condenser core and the A/C evaporator core on an individual vehicle, but
under no circumstances should they be used on more than one vehicle.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
CAUTION: Only the A/C Flush and Purge Machine 219-00022 and A/C Systems
Flushing Solvent, is approved for use on Ford vehicles. No other flushing
device or solvent is approved for flushing heat exchangers (air
conditioning [A/C] condenser, A/C evaporator). Use of any other flusher or
solvent may cause damage to the A/C system and the flushing unit.
NOTE: Prior to using the A/C Flush and Purge Machine 219-00022 for the first time,
review the operating instructions.
NOTE: Ford Motor Company has approved a procedure to provide technicians with a
non-CFC method of flushing contaminated A/C system heat exchangers. The
procedure allows the specific components to be cleaned and flushed. The types
of contamination flushed include particle matter that results from A/C
compressor or desiccant failure and gummy residue that can form when
refrigerant oil is overheated during A/C compressor seizure. The flushing
process is a 2-step procedure that involves the use of an A/C Flush and Purge
Machine 219-00022 to:
 circulate the flushing solvent through the heat exchanger in the reverse
direction of normal refrigerant flow (back-flushing). Particulate matter
picked up during flushing is filtered from the returning solvent before the
solvent is returned to the reservoir for continued circulation.
 remove the flushing solvent from the heat exchanger. In this step of the
procedure, pressurized air 621-862 kPa (90-125 psi) is used to push and
evaporate any remaining flush solvent from the heat exchanger.

INSTALLATION
Special Tools
CAUTION: On vehicles being serviced for an internal compressor or desiccant failure,

a new thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) and any hoses containing
mufflers must be installed prior to filtering the air conditioning (A/C)
system. Internal plumbing of these devices makes it impossible to
correctly remove any foreign material/debris. These components are
typically discarded after A/C system contamination. Hoses without
mufflers can normally be reused unless they are clogged with foreign
material. The F8VZ-19E773-AB filter is intended for use on one vehicle
only.
1. Remove the desiccant bag. For additional information, refer to CLIMATE CONTROL article.
NOTE: The refrigerant system must be filtered with the desiccant bag removed.
Do not install a new desiccant bag at this time.
2. With the desiccant bag removed, reinstall the receiver/drier plug into the condenser core.
NOTE: Do not install the front bumper cover or evacuate and charge the
refrigerant system at this time.
3. Install the condenser core back into the vehicle. For additional information, refer to CLIMATE
CONTROL article.
4. Disconnect the condenser-to-evaporator line spring lock coupling.

 Discard the O-ring seals.
NOTE: Use flexible refrigerant hose of 17,238 kPa (2,500 psi) burst rating.
NOTE: Orient the filter inlet toward the A/C condenser core.
5. Using the correct adapters from the A/C Flush and Purge Fitting Kit and suitable A/C service hoses,
install the pancake filter between the two halves of the condenser-to-evaporator line spring lock coupling.
7. Evacuate and charge the refrigerant system. For additional information, refer to Air Conditioning (A/C)
8. Provide adequate airflow to the front of the vehicle (with a fan, if necessary). Start the engine and allow it
to idle briefly. Select A/C operation and set the blower speed to HI. Verify that the A/C is operating
correctly.
9. Gradually bring the engine up to 1,200 RPM by running it at lower RPM for short periods (first at 800
RPM, then at 1,000 RPM). Set the engine at 1,200 RPM and run it for one hour with the A/C system
operating.
10. Stop the engine.
11. Recover the refrigerant. For additional information, refer to Air Conditioning (A/C) System Recovery,
Evacuation and Charging.
12. Remove the pancake filter, hoses and adapters from the vehicle.

Refrigerant Oil Adding
CAUTION: During normal air conditioning (A/C) operation, oil is circulated through
the system with the refrigerant, and a small amount is retained in each
component. If certain components of the system are removed, some of the
refrigerant oil will go with the component. To maintain the original total oil
charge, it is necessary to compensate for the oil lost by adding oil to the
system with the new part.
1. Refer to the chart below for refrigerant oil adding amounts and methods of installation.

Refrigerant Oil Adding for New A/C Compressor Installation
NOTE: The service A/C compressor for this vehicle is shipped from the factory with
PAG oil installed. The refrigerant oil adding procedure specified for this vehicle
must be followed to avoid installing excessive PAG oil in the refrigerant system.
1. Rotate the new A/C compressor shaft 8 to 10 revolutions while collecting the PAG oil in a clean
measuring cup.
2. Rotate the oil A/C compressor shaft 8 to 10 revolutions while collecting the PAG oil in a separate clean
measuring cup.
3. Remove enough PAG oil from the new compressor measuring cup to make the remaining amount of oil
in the cup match the amount remove from the oil A/C compressor.
4. Add the PAG oil from the new A/C compressor measuring cup to the suction side of the A/C compressor.
Oil Injection Using a Dye/Lubricant Injector
NOTE: If fluorescent leak detection dye is also to be added during A/C charging, the
dye may be added to the dye/lubricant injector along with the refrigerant oil.
1. Evacuate the refrigerant system. For additional information, refer to Air Conditioning (A/C) System
Recovery, Evacuation and Charging.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
2. Assemble the dye/lubricant injector using the correct adapters to match the amount of refrigerant
compressor oil to be injected.
3. Verify that all the valves on the dye/lubricant injector are closed.
Fig. 125: Identifying Valves On Fluorescent Dye/Lubricant Injector

4. Fill the dye/lubricant injector with the correct amount of new refrigerant compressor oil.
Fig. 126: Identifying Deluxe Injector Loop Kit Reservoir

5. Install the dye/lubricant injector between the low-side service gauge port valve and the refrigerant service
station or manifold gauge set.
6. Open all valves and charge the refrigerant system. For additional information, refer to Air Conditioning
(A/C) System Recovery, Evacuation and Charging.
REFRIGERANT IDENTIFICATION TESTING
Special Tools
Refrigerant Identifier with Air-

Radiator
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
Refrigerant Identification
NOTE: A Refrigerant Identifier with Air-Radiator must be used to identify gas

samples taken directly from the refrigeration system or storage containers
prior to recovering or charging the refrigerant system.
1. Follow the instructions included with the Refrigerant Identifier with Air-Radiator to obtain the sample for
testing.
2. The Refrigerant Identifier with Air-Radiator will display one of the following:
 If the purity level of R-134a is 98% or greater by weight, the green PASS LED will light. The
weight concentrations of R-134a, R-12, R-22, hydrocarbons and air will be displayed on the digital
display.
 If refrigerant R-134a does not meet the 98% purity level, the red FAIL LED will light and an alarm
will sound alerting the user of potential hazards. The weight concentrations of R-134a, R-12, R-22
and hydrocarbons will be displayed on the digital display.
 If hydrocarbon concentrations are 2% or greater by weight, the red FAIL LED will light,
"Hydrocarbon High" will be displayed on the digital display, and an alarm will sound alerting the
user of potential hazards. The weight concentrations of R-134a, R-12, R-22 and hydrocarbons will
also be displayed on the digital display.
3. The percentage of air contained in the sample will be displayed if the R-134a content is 98% or greater.
The scan tool eliminates the effect of air when determining the refrigerant sample content because air is
not considered a contaminant, although air can affect A/C system performance. When the scan tool has
determined that a refrigerant source is pure (R-134a is 98% or greater by weight) and air concentration
levels are 2% or greater by weight, the scan tool will prompt the user if an air purge is desired.
4. If contaminated refrigerant is detected, repeat the refrigerant identification test to verify that the
refrigerant is indeed contaminated.
Contaminated Refrigerant Handling
NOTE: If contaminated refrigerant is detected, DO NOT recover the refrigerant into R-

134a recovery/recycling equipment. Recovery of contaminated refrigerant will
contaminate the recovered refrigerant supply and may damage the
recovery/recycling equipment.
NOTE: A new suction accumulator or receiver/drier must be installed as directed by the

A/C system flushing procedure.
1. Recover the contaminated refrigerant using suitable recovery-only equipment designed for capturing and
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
storing contaminated refrigerant only.

 If this equipment is not available, contact an A/C service facility in the area with the correct
equipment to carry out this service.
2. Determine and correct the cause of the customers initial concern.
3. Flush the A/C system.
4. Dispose of the contaminated refrigerant in accordance with all federal, state and local regulations.
