LEAK DETECTION TYPES

There are several A/C leak detection tools available.

NOTE: There are specific leak dye kits for the R-134a and R-1234yf A/C systems. Make sure you are using the right kit for the system you are working on.

 

REFRIGERANT GAS LEAK DETECTOR

A refrigerant leak detector can sense refrigerant gas leaking from the A/C system.

  • It is a good alternative if the vehicle cannot accept leak dye.
  • The system must be pressurized to use this type of leak detector.

NOTE:

  • Refer to the Honda Tool and Equipment Program for the most current, approved tool.
  • Refer to the tool manufacturer’s information for correct usage.

 

ULTRASONIC LEAK DETECTOR

An ultrasonic leak detector listens for leaks in the A/C system.

  • It is a good alternative if the vehicle cannot accept leak dye.
  • The system must under vacuum to use this type of leak detector.

NOTE:

  • Refer to the Honda Tool and Equipment Program for the most current, approved tool.

Refer to the tool manufacturer’s information for correct usage.

 

LEAK DYE

Dye is injected into the A/C system. System leaks are visible with an ultraviolet light.

NOTE:

  • Only the dyes mentioned in this bulletin from Tracer Products (Tracerline®) are approved for use in Honda vehicles.

Other dyes contain solvents that may contaminate the system’s refrigerant oil, leading to component failure.

  • Adding excessive amounts of dye can lead to compressor damage and failure.
  • Leak dye TRPTP9811P12 has been replaced by TRPTP1108P12. Continue to use TRPTP9811P12 until your dealership stock runs out.

(2) The battery test function is activated by pressing the battery test key. When pressed, the LED light will display the real voltage in red. The color position of the red LED light corresponds to the voltage. Except for the first LED light can display green, orange or red, the rest of the LED lights only display red.
  • 3.【Automatic Circuit/Reset Function】Upon initial power on, the refrigerant leak detector automatically sets itself to ignore the level of refrigerant present at the tip. Or press the reset button, and the LED lights will light up red for one second, which will make the circuit ignore the level of refrigerant present at the tip. Only a level, or concentration, greater than this will cause an alarm. Note: If the probe is turned on where there is already a leak, the leak will not be detected.
  • 4.【Six Levels of Sensitivity Adjustment】After the HVAC leak detector is turned on, the sensitivity is automatically set to level 5. Press the up/down key to adjust the sensitivity, short press or long press will have different adjustment effects. When the key is pressed, the LED light will display red, and the number of LED lights on indicates the level of sensitivity. NOTE: Each time the sensitivity level is increased or decreased, the relative sensitivity is doubled or halved.
  • 5.【6 Alarm Levels - Sound and Light Prompts】The refrigerant leak detector features 6 alarm levels, providing a clear indication of relative leak size and strength. The progressive indicators can be used to home-in on a leak, as the increasing alarm levels indicate that the source (highest concentration) is being approached. Each level is indicated by the number of red LED lights, the higher the level, the more red LED lights.
