Function: provide idling-speed bypass air route, and control air quantity by changing
cross-section of the route, realizing closed-loop control over rotating speed while the engine is
under idling-speed condition; principle: one permanent magnet rotating freely on the shaft within
idling-speed governor is rigidly connected with one rotating slide block, and could rotating driven
by the coil, making slide block also rotating. Angular position of slide block determines opening of
bypass duct, and thus adjusting bypass air quantity. Angular position of slide block is controlled
by duty ratio of electrical pulse output by electronic controller;

1. (Remove the connector) place digital multimeter to ohm position, and two pens are
respectively connected to 1#, 2# pins of governor; rated resistance is 17.60.6 under 20;
otherwise, replace it;
2. (Connect the connector) Start the engine, and make it rotate under idling speed; carefully put
the hands against EWD3, and you feel slight vibration (recommend oscillograph);
3. When the engine is rotating under idling speed, take off harness connector of idling-speed
governor, and rotating speed of the engine shall be changed, which indicates that idling-speed
governor is working normally;
4. Take out harness connector of idling-speed governor, and measure its terminal voltage via
multimeter or oscillograph. When the engine is rotating, terminal of harness connector of
idling-speed governor shall be output with impulse voltage, which indicates that control system
lines of ECU and idlings-peed governor are faul-free; if idling speed is still not stable at this point,
with large deviations from specified value, check idling-speed governor. If output without impulse
voltage, open the air conditioner and test again; if still not, it means that control system lines of
ECU and idlings-peed governor are malfunction.
If after installation of governor, too low idling speed, idling-speed-free appears, replace for the
pad with 0.3-0.5mm thick, and screw down bolt twice, with the first torque as 2NM, and 7NM for

No.056 Quick diagnosis for stepper motor

Function: provide idling-speed bypass air route, and control air quantity by changing
cross-section of the route, realizing closed-loop control over rotating speed while the engine is
under idling-speed condition;

Principle: stepper motor is actuall a miniature motor, and its stator is polyphase coil winding and
rotor is permanent magnet, through which one spiral axis is threaded, and these two are
contacted with thread. When stator coil is switched with current, the rotor will rotate towards
corresponding directions. As rotor and spiral axis are contacted with thread, angular
displacement of rotor is transformed into linear displacement of spiral axis. Bypass cross-section
could be changed by front and rear moving of spiral axis. If the rotor rotates fixed angle each
time, spiral axis will move a certain displacement, i.e. one step. Electronic controller could control
moving steps of stepper motor by changing coil energization phase to obtain corresponding
bypass air flow.

Diagnosis flowchart of M7 system based on malfunction


Before executing steps of malfunction diagnosis based on malfunction of the engine, carry out
preliminary inspection:
1. Confirm malfunction indicator lamp of the engine is working normally;
2. Check and confirm there is no malfunction information recorded with the malfunction diagnosis
instrument;
3. Confirm malfunction claimed by the vehicle owner exists and confirm conditions why this
malfunction appears. Appearance inspection:
1Check fuel pipe is leaking;
2Check vacuum pipe is broken, kinked, or correctly connected;
3Check inlet pipe is blocked, air leaking, squashed or damaged;
4Check high tension line of ignition system is broken, aging, and ignition sequence is correct;
5Check earthing location of harness is clean, firm;
6Check connector of each sensor, actuator is loosening or poorly contacted. Important: in
case of above-mentioned malfunctions, carry out care and maintenance accordingly, otherwise it
will affect following malfunction diagnosis and maintenance.
Diagnosis help: 1. Confirm the engine is free of malfunction records;
2. Confirm malfunction that is claimed exists;
3. Carry out according to above-mentioned steps and find out nothing unusual;
4. Pay attention to the effect of automobile maintenance, cylinder pressure, mechanical ignition
timing, fuel conditions on the system during inspection;
5. Replace ECU and test it.
If malfunction is eliminated at this time, then malfunction part is in ECU; if malfunction still exists
at this point, replace for original ECU, and repeat the flowchart, and re-inspect.

Special repair kit for air conditioning


The special repair kit for air conditioning is composed of the magnetic thickness gauge, the gas leak tester, the
spare gas bottle, the service valve wrench, the refrigerant filling valve, the filling hose gasket and the service
valve gasket, etc. Above tools are special tools used to repair the vehicle air-conditioning. Tools in the kit shall
be used as much as possible during the repair process to ensure the check quality.
Usage of the refrigerant filling valve
The filling valve is as Fig. 4-6
1). Anti-clockwise rotate the filling valve handle until the valve needle is withdrawn.
2). Install the filling valve on the refrigerant tank and anti-clockwise rotate the sheet nut until it reaches the top
position, then clockwise rotate the refrigerant filling valve until the filling valve is embedded into the refrigerant
sealing plug.
3). Clockwise rotate the sheet nut to the end and fix the intermediate hose of the manifold pressure gauge into
the connection of the filling valve.
4). Tighten the sheet nut.
5). Clockwise rotate the handle until the valve needle pierces into the sealing plug.
6). Provided the refrigerant is to be filled, the handle shall be rotated anti-clockwise to uplift the valve needle
and at the same time the hand valve on the manifold pressure gauge is opened.
7). Provided it is to stop adding the refrigerant, clockwise rotate the handle so that the valve needle will enter
into the sealing plug once again to play the sealing effect, and meanwhile close the hand valve on the manifold
pressure gauge.
Usage of the manifold pressure gauge
The manifold pressure gauge is also called the manifold pressure meter, which is connected with the
refrigeration system to carry out the vacuumizing, filling in the refrigerant and diagnosing the failure of the
refrigeration system. Fig. 4-2 shows the structure of the manifold pressure gauge. It consists of the high
pressure gauge, low-pressure gauge, manual low pressure valve, manual high-pressure valve, valve body,
high pressure connection, low-pressure connector and refrigerant vacuumizing connector. During the
operation, high and low pressure connectors are connected with high and low pressure fill in valves of the
system respectively via the hose and the intermediate connector is connected with the suction pump or the
refrigerant (HR134a) cylinder. The connector connecting the hose and the manifold pressure gauge could only
be tightened by hand instead of by wrench, or else the connection thread may be damaged. Air inside the hose
must be drained away during the usage. Detailed steps are as follows:
1). When the manual low pressure valve is opened and the manual high pressure valve is closed, the low
pressure line is connected with the intermediate pipeline and the low pressure gauge. At that time the
refrigerant can be filled or discharged from the low pressure side, and meanwhile pressures at both the high
pressure side and the low pressure side can be detected.
2). When the manual low pressure valve is closed and the manual high pressure valve is opened, the pressure
line is connected with the intermediate pipeline and the high pressure gauge. At that time the refrigerant can be
filled or discharged from the high pressure side, and meanwhile pressures at both the high pressure side and
the high-tension side can be detected.
3). Detection to pressures at high and low pressure sides can be made when both the manual high pressure
valve and the low pressure valve are closed.
4). Refrigerant filling, vacuumizing and detecting to pressures at both the high pressure and low pressure
sides can be carried out when both the manual high and low pressure valves are opened.

Usage of the refrigerant charging valve
A charging valve is installed on the inlet and the exhaust pipes of the sedan air conditioning compressor. Its
operating principle is identical to that of the valve core on the tire. During the usage, tighten the quick joint of
the charging hose into the port of the charging valve so that the needle is pressed open; the air-conditioning
system is connected with the detection used hose with the refrigerant flows into it; the charging valve can be
closed automatically when the detection used hose is removed.
Routine method to check the leakage of air conditioning refrigerant
Leak-detection methods generally used in the vehicle air conditioning refrigeration system are nitrogen
supercharging leak detection, vacuum leak detection, charging leak detection, instrument leak detection and
appearance leak detection.
1). Nitrogen supercharging leak detection: charging the nitrogen into the refrigeration system and apply the
soap water at the leak detection position. The soap bubble will be generated when there is the leakage. The
compressed air is strictly prohibited when the supercharging leak detection is adopted. This is because there is
moisture in the compressed air and will cause the ice block at the thermal expansion valve when the moisture
enters into the system along with the air. The industry nitrogen is non-corrosive, moisture-free and low in price,
yet bottle high pressure nitrogen gas must be provided with a decompression adjuster to adjust the air out
pressure. When the system reaches the specified 1.0 Mpa, apply the soap bath at each joints and welding
points of the system to observe the leakage carefully. There is tiny sound at large leakage area with big foam
and there is discontinuous small foam at small leakage area. The leak detection must be made carefully and
repeated for 3 to 5 times. The leaking position shall be marked and restored in time, then the leak detection
can be made at other joints until the leakage is eliminated totally. The leak-off-test shall be made after the
leakage is restored, i.e. the system is kept the pressure for more than 0.5 hours. The leak-off-test is accepted
when the pressure does not reduce; the leak detection must be made once again if the pressure reduces
greatly until the leaking area is found and restored.
Leak-off-test pressure of the refrigeration system is 1.5 ~ 1.7Mpa. Take care when checking the leak.
2). Vacuum leak detection: it shall be made adopting the vacuum pump. The vacuum pressure shall be lower
than 100Pa and constant. It is acceptable when the vacuum pressure is not increased remarkably during
relatively long time.
3). Filling leak detection: it can be made following the vacuum leak detection. The leak detection is carried out
by the electronic leak detector after little refrigerant is charged. The indicator will light up and give out an alarm
when the refrigerant is leaking.
4). Appearance leak detection: normally there is the refrigeration oil leaked out at the refrigerant leaking
389
Common Malfunction Diagnosis Flow of Geely Automobile

locations. A clean plain paper can be used to wipe it off or the hand can be used to inspect it directly. It means
the refrigerant leakage when the oil stain keeps on leaking.
Locations where air conditioning refrigerant leakage often occurs
Operating condition of the air conditioning is normally rough. Its refrigeration system keeps on vibrating along
with the vehicle operation, hence the pipeline is easy to be damaged and the joint is loose thus causing the
refrigeration leakage. The general leaking locations are shown as the following table.

How to carry out the vacuumizing, leak detection and refrigerant filling to the vehicle air conditioning
There are three purposes of making the vacuumizing by the vacuum pump: the first, to drain out the air and the
moisture in the air-conditioning system; the second, to inspect the leakage in the system; the third, to dry the
system. The refrigerant can be filled only after the system is vacuumized. The vacuumizing can reduce the
boiling point rather than drain the water out from the refrigeration system directly after the vacuum is realized.
The water is drained out from the refrigeration system only after it is transferred into the water vapor.
Connection of the vacuumizing pipeline is shown in Fig.4-3. Detailed steps are as follows:
1). Connect both high and low pressure hoses of the manifold pressure gauge with high and low pressure
charging valve interface of the system (note: for the sedan air-conditioning system, most high and low pressure
charging valves are on the high and low pressure hoses, while very few hoes are on the compressor); connect
the intermediate hose on the manifold pressure gauge with the vacuum pump.
2). Open the manual high and low pressure valves on the manifold pressure gauge and start the vacuum pump;
vacuumize the systemic pressure to below 100pa and keep constant.
3). Close the manual high and low pressure valves on the manifold pressure gauge and see if the pressure
shown by the gauge indicator is recovered; the pressure recover means the system leakage, then the leak
detection and repair shall be made by this time. Provided the gauge indicator keeps still, the hand valve shall
be opened to startup the vacuum pump and keep on vacuumizing until pointer of the if is constant.

4). simultaneously close the manual high and low pressure valves after the vacuumizing.
5). Screw down the intermediate hose of the manifold pressure gauge from the vacuum pump joint and switch
over a refrigerant cylinder joint.
6). Unscrew the intermediate hose joint on the manifold pressure gauge and slightly open the refrigerant
cylinder valve to send away the air in the intermediate hose by the refrigerant. It is OK just being opened for
2~3 seconds.
7). Open the manual high and low pressure valves and the refrigerant cylinder valve so that small volume of
the refrigerant can enter into the refrigeration system until the gauge indicator points into 1000pa. Close the
manual high and low pressure valve as well as the refrigerant cylinder valve and remain for several hours.
8). If there is no variation in the systemic pressure, it means the system has no leakage; provided the systemic
pressure is reduced, it means there is leakage in the system, then the leaking location shall be found out and
precluded.
9). Open the refrigerant cylinder valve and the manual high-pressure valve so that the refrigerant can be
entered into from the high pressure side after the system is confirmed having no leakage. By this time the
refrigerant cylinder can be inverted to increase the charging rate, however the air conditioning is not permitted
to startup.
10). The refrigerant can also be filled from the low pressure side. The method is that the manual high-pressure
valve is closed and the refrigerant cylinder is kept upright, then the air conditioning compressor is turned on to
operate. Slowly open the manual low pressure valve so that the refrigerant can enter into the suction
compressor in gaseous state from the low pressure side; when the refrigerant charging volume achieves the
requirement, the manual low pressure valve and the refrigerant cylinder valve are closed.
11). Watch it from the sight glass to ensure there is no bubble or surplus refrigerant inside the system. Then
adjust the engine speed to 2000r/min and turn the cold air machine air volume to the top gear. Provided the air
temperature is between 30 and 35, pressure at low pressure side of the system shall be about 0.15 ~
0.20Mpa and that at high pressure side shall be about 1.3 ~ 1.8Mpa.
12). Stop the engine after the charging is finished. Remove the manifold pressure gauge from the compressor
quickly to prevent surplus refrigerant from being discharged.
Operation and notice of filling or adding the refrigeration oil to the air conditioning, judgment to the
refrigeration oil quality
1) Generally it is not required to fill the refrigeration oil when the air conditioning refrigeration system is

391
Common Malfunction Diagnosis Flow of Geely Automobile

maintained. However, the refrigeration oil must be added when parts of the refrigeration system are replaced
and severe leakage of the system is precluded. There are two methods to fill the refrigeration oil as follows: (1)
Shut down the air conditioning and fill the refrigeration oil utilizing the filling port on the compressor; screw out
the filling port bolt and pour the required refrigeration lubrication oil into the filling port and then tighten the
filling port bolt.
(2) Detailed operation methods of charging the refrigeration oil when the vacuumizing is made are as follows:

Fig. 4-4 Filling the refrigeration lubrication oil with vacuumizing method
1- the manual low pressure valve is closed 2- the manual high pressure valve is opened
3- exhaust the air 4- vacuum pump 5- refrigeration lubrication oil
a. Select a graduated cylinder to contain the refrigeration oil of the volume more than required.
b. Screw down the hose connected with the low pressure charging valve from the manifold pressure gauge
and insert it into the measuring cylinder containing the refrigeration oil. As shown in Fig.4-4.
c. Startup the vacuum pump and open the manual high pressure valve on the manifold pressure gauge. Added
refrigeration oil will be sucked into the compressor through the suction pipe via the charging valve at the low
pressure side. Stop the suction of the vacuum pump and close the manual high pressure valve when the
refrigeration oil volume has reached the specified volume.
d. After the refrigeration oil is added per the vacuumizing method, the refrigeration system shall be vacuumized
and the refrigerant shall be added.
2) The following notices shall be taken care when the refrigeration oil is used: (1). The refrigeration oil is easy
in water absorption so the lid must be tightened right after the refrigeration oil is used
(2). Deteriorate turbid refrigeration oil is not allowed, or else it will influence the normal operation of the
compressor.
(3). Excess refrigeration oil is not allowed to be added into the system, or else it will influence the refrigerating
capacity of the vehicle air conditioning refrigeration system.
(4) The refrigeration oil must be of the grade specified in the compressor instruction of that model.
3) Correlation method and dripping method can be adopted to judge the quality of the refrigeration oil: (1).
Correlation method: put clean and standard refrigeration oil into a test tube as the standard oil and put the oil to
be checked into another test tube of the same size to make the comparison. Provided the oil to be checked is
of light yellow or of saffron yellow, it can be used, however the turbid solution of rufous color can not be used.
(2). Dripping method: drip one drib of the refrigeration lubrication oil to be checked on a clean plain paper and
watch its color. It means there is no impurity in the oil if its color is light and even; the oil can be used.

How to inspect the refrigeration oil volume in air conditioning compressor


The vehicle air conditioning compressor is a high-speed operation device. Its normal condition depends on the
sufficiency of the refrigeration oil, however excess refrigeration oil will influence the refrigerating effect. Oil
volume inside the compressor must be checked when the compressor or part of the refrigeration system are
replaced. The inspection methods are as follows:
Fig.4-5 shows the inspection to the refrigeration oil volume. Discharge the oil charge plug 1, watch it via the oil
charge taphole and rotate the clutch foreplate; Wipe clean the oil dipstick with the cotton yarn and insert it into
the compressor until end of the oil dipstick touches inner casing of the compressor; take out the oil dipstick and
observe its immersion depth; oil level inside the compressor shall be between scale 4 and scale 6 if the oil
charging is appropriate. Add it if it is inadequate and drain if it is excessive, then tighten the filling port plug.

Fig. 4-5 inspection to the refrigeration lubrication oil volume of the sedan air conditioning compressor
1- oil filling plug 2- Filling port 3- oil dipstick
Provided there is no oil filling plug hole in the compressor, the oil shall be poured into a measuring cup to
make the comparison with the oil charge volume specified in the instruction to judge if the compressor is
required to add the oil. Generally oil content in the compressor shall not be less than 1/3 oil charging volume
specified in the instruction, or else the oil shall be added. Compressor provided with the oil charging plug hole
can also adopt this method, but the compressor assembly must be removed from the air-conditioning system.

How to add the refrigerant to the vehicle air conditioning


When the pressure in the refrigeration system is abnormal, the bubble will appear in the sight glass. It means
the refrigerant is inadequate and shall be added; The vacuumizing is not required when adding the refrigerant.
The refrigeration system can be added directly with the operational methods as follows:
Connect both high and low pressure hoses of the manifold pressure gauge with interfaces of the high and low
pressure charging valves; connect the intermediate hose of the manifold pressure gauge with the refrigerant
cylinder valve. Carry it out according to the operation method related to 4.8. Close the manual high and low
pressure valves and upright the refrigerant cylinder, then start the engine and turn on the air conditioning
compressor to operate; Slowly open the manual low pressure valve so that the refrigerant can enter into the
suction compressor in gaseous state from the low pressure side; when the refrigerant charging volume
achieves the specified volume, close the manual low pressure valve and the refrigerant cylinder valve.
How to check and eliminate the blocking failure of air-conditioning system
When the refrigeration system is blocked, it shows inadequate refrigerant volume or no refrigerating, and
meanwhile high pressure and low pressure inside the system are abnormal. The block often occurs at the
liquid storage dryer and the expansion valve. Temperature difference of the part before and after the blocking
is apparent. The dirty block failure can be eliminated according to the following method:
1). Drain out the refrigerant inside the refrigeration system.
2). Remove the blocked part of the refrigeration system for the cleaning and the replacement.
3). When there is severe block, the refrigeration system shall be dismantled entirely for subsection cleaning.
Spares after the cleaning shall be blown-dried and oven-dried.
How to check and eliminate the icing failure of vehicle air-conditioning thermo expansion valve
The system is poor in the refrigerating effect and low bias in both high and low pressure after the refrigeration
system is iced; the refrigeration is intermittent. The icing generally occurs at the valve seat of the thermo
expansion valve because excessive water vapor contained in the system is iced at valve base of the thermo
expansion valve. When the thermo expansion valve occurs ice block, the refrigerating capacity will be
reduced that causes the temperature rise to melt down the ice at the valve port so the system recovers normal
operations to increase the refrigerating capacity, at that time excessive moisture will be iced again at the valve
port. Methods of eliminating the icing failure of the refrigeration system are as follows:
1). Drain out the refrigerant inside the system.
2). Replace the dry reservoir in the refrigeration system.
3). Inspect the refrigeration system for any leakage and stop it.
4) Make the vacuumizing with the vacuum pump and remove the water vapor inside the system.
5) Add qualified refrigerant.
How to check and eliminate the air inside the air-conditioning system
Air in the system is stored at upper part of the condenser or the dry reservoir owing that it is incapable of being
condensed and is lighter than the refrigerant. Air in the system will influence the cooling and heat emission
394
Common Malfunction Diagnosis Flow of Geely Automobile

effect of the condenser thus cause the condensing pressure and temperature over high, simultaneously low
pressure of the system is high that causes the refrigerating capacity of overall system being reduced, so that
air in the system shall be removed timely with the preclusion methods as follows:
1). Drain out the refrigerant inside the system.
2). Inspect the refrigeration system for any leakage and eliminate it.
3). Pump out the air in the system repeatedly with the vacuum pump.
How to dismount the sedan air conditioning compressor
When the air conditioning compressor is breakdown, most failure parts shall be dismounted to carry out the
repair or the replacement except very few failure parts can be maintained on the vehicle instead of
dismounting the compressor. The dismounting steps and requirements are as follows:
Steps of dismounting the compressor from the compressor frame:
(1). Dismount the connecting wire of the electromagnetic clutch.
(2) Drain out the refrigerant from the refrigeration system.
(3) Remove the hoses at intake and exhaust port of the compressor; the hose as well as intake and exhaust
ports of the compressor shall be covered to prevent the dust and the water vapor from being entered into the
system.
(4) Dismount the driving belt of the compressor.
(5) Remove the compressor fastening screw and the compressor from the compressor frame.
(6) Pour out the oil inside the compressor and measure the oil output with the measuring cylinder to judge if it
is required to add the oil and inspect the oil for any discoloration as well as any impurities in the oil.
Inspection to the air conditioning control system
The air conditioning control system can be checked according to the following methods: power ignition
switch fuse cutout relay air conditioning switch ( fan switch, temperature detect switch)temperature
control circuitpressure switch circuitelectromagnetic clutchfanelectric machine. After the ignition
switch is turned on, the current flows into the air conditioning switch through the fuse cutout and is branched.
One branch flows into the evaporator blower motor and the other branch flows into the compressor
electromagnetic clutch through the temperature controller and the pressure switch circuit. When malfunction
is found in the auto security protection, the fuse shall be checked first for any burn-out; If it is in normal
condition, control switch of the blower shall be turned on to inspect if the blower plug is in good contact, the
blower governing resistance is in open circuit and the blower motor is damaged; If the blower is in normal
operation, then finally check the control circuit of the electromagnetic clutch, the high and low pressure switch,
the temperature controller as well as the electromagnetic clutch for any failure; eliminate any failure existed.
How to inspect the vehicle air conditioning thermo expansion valve
Inspection steps of the vehicle air conditioning expansion valve (take F type thermo expansion valve as an
example) are as follows:
1). Eliminate the refrigerant in the system and remove the thermal expansion valve from the refrigeration
system.
2). Supply the nitrogen with certain pressure (e.g. 0.05Mpa) at the high pressure inlet side of the thermal
expansion valve. If there is no gas flowing out from the low pressure outlet side, it means the thermal
expansion valve is out of service.
3). Then immerse the thermo bulb of the thermal expansion valve into warm water and enhance the water
temperature; opening of the thermal expansion valve shall be increased (pressure at the low-pressure side is
increased, i.e. the gas flow rate is increased), or else it means media inside the thermal expansion valve power
head is leaked or the thermal expansion valve is blocked by impurities, then the thermal expansion valve shall
be replaced.
4) The blocked thermal expansion valve shall be disassembled to determine the impurity nature.
Other notices in repairing the vehicle air conditioning
1). Operation environment: cleanness and moistureproof shall be paid attention to when the air conditioning is

395
Common Malfunction Diagnosis Flow of Geely Automobile

checked. Dirt, dust and moisture shall be prevented from entering into the air-conditioning system. Areas
around the assembling unit and the joint shall be cleaned out and rainy day maintenance shall be avoided.
2). Usage of the refrigerant: the refrigerant shall be stored in places of low temperature and dry when the
refrigerant cylinder is stored and transported. It shall not be brought into locations with open flame such as the
welding, nor exposed under the sunshine. Directly heating to the refrigerant cylinder or putting it into the hot
water over 40 Celsius degree is strictly prohibited. The protective glasses shall be worn when the refrigerant is
filled to avoid the eye frost damage. Please be noted that it shall not be contact with the skin. Provided the
refrigerant is contacted with accidentally, a great deal of fresh water shall be used to rinse the contact area
quickly to prevent the frost damage and ask for medical care as soon as possible. Manual high pressure valve
on the manifold pressure gauge is strictly prohibited to open when the engine is in operation. The refrigerant
will back flow into the refrigerant tank that cause the explosion. When the gaseous state refrigerant is charged
from the low pressure side during the engine running, the refrigerant cylinder is not allowed to upend to avoid
the compressor "cylinder slugging". The manifold pressure gauge shall be used to drain out the refrigerant
inside the system from the low pressure side. The refrigerant shall be exhausted slowly with the time interval
not less than 15 minutes to prevent the refrigeration oil from being drained out along with the refrigerant.
3). Operation to the refrigeration system pipeline: the pipeline or the joint shall be capped after the pipeline is
dismounted to prevent the moisture and the dust from entering into it. The bending radius shall be as large as
possible when the pipe is bent; the pipe orifice shall be remained leveling and clean when the pipe is cut and
scraps inside the pipe shall be cleaned out; The trichloroethylene liquid shall be used to clean the pipeline, and
the pipeline shall be dried sufficiently; The refrigeration oil shall be applied at the joint and the O-ring when the
pipeline is connected; two wrenches shall be used to tighten or unscrew the pipeline joint.
4). Operation to the control wire: the battery ground wire (negative wire) shall be dismounted when the repair
work is made to the air conditioning to prevent the circuit short circuit during the refrigeration system repair.
Replaced wires shall be fixed by the adhesive tape and the original fasteners; wires of original color and
original diameter shall be preferred; the wire is not allowed to close to high temperature objects such as the
engine.
There is several methods of judging the constant malfunction of the vehicle air conditioning as follows:
1). Hand feeling inspection: the failure is judged mostly by feeling the temperature of the parts by hand. High
pressure loop (from the compressor outlet, the condenser and the dry reservoir to the thermal expansion valve
outlet) shall be in a thermal behavior (50~ 70) when it is touched; if certain location is exceptionally hot or
there is apparent temperature difference between the inlet and the outlet, it means there is the blocking. The
low pressure loop (from the thermal expansion valve outlet, the evaporator and the compressor inlet) shall be
cool (0~ 5) when it is touched. Provided there is no apparent temperature difference between the high
pressure side and the low pressure side, it means there is the leakage in the system or the compressor is
broken down.
2). Visual examination: inspect each pipeline joint, compressor shaft seal, condenser and evaporator surface
for any oil stain; the system has the leakage if there is any oil stain.
3). Sight glass inspection: observe and inspect the refrigerant state via the sight glass installed on the dry
reservoir or the pipeline. The refrigerant shall be clear and bubble free, and the evaporator air outlet shall be
cold under normal condition. It means that the refrigerant is highly inadequate when it is clear and bubble free
yet the air outlet is not cold; is means that the refrigerant is inadequate when it is clear and has bubble in it, yet
the air outlet is not cold enough.
4). Leak detection made by the electronic leak detector: electronic leak detector is used to inspect each joint
of the overall system for any leakage.
5). Inspection made by the multi-meter: the multi-meter can be used to check out the air conditioning circuit
breakdown and judge the broken circuit or the short circuit.
6). Manifold pressure meter: connect the manifold pressure meter with the system high and low pressure

396
Common Malfunction Diagnosis Flow of Geely Automobile

valves to judge the breakdown of the refrigeration system. The inspection shall be made when the air
temperature is between 30 ~35oC and the engine speed is 2000r/min. The fan wind speed is adjusted to the
high gear and the temperature is adjusted to the Max. refrigerating gear. The normal condition is that: the
pressure at the high-pressure side is 1.2Mpa ~ 1.8Mpa and that at the low-pressure side is 0.15 Mpa ~
0.20Mpa; the system may have a failure if it is out of this scope. 7). Other inspection methods
(1) Condenser: the thermometer is used for thermometer under normal operation. When the condenser air-in
temperature is about 35oC, the air-out temperature shall be about 55oC.
(2) Continual reduction of the air volume at the air outlet means the frosting on the evaporator surface.
(3) Dry reservoir: inconsistency of the temperature on upper and lower side of the dry reservoir shell means
there is the block inside the dry reservoir.
