INSPECTION PROCEDURE
NOTE: Make sure you review the precautions when working with the A/C system.
1. Evacuate and recharge the A/C system with the appropriate dye for the vehicle.
NOTE:
• When using the Robinair R-1234yf A/C Recover, Recycle, Recharge Machine, a system vacuum is automatically done when it recharges the system. Use the automatic vacuum check for this bulletin.
• For additional information on how to check if the condenser is leaking, go to service bulletin 07-030 A/C Leak Detection.
• If the refrigerant level is low, the compressor may not activate. Fill the system with enough refrigerant to engage the compressor.
• If there is a large leak in the system, the vacuum leak test may fail and you will be unable to add refrigerant to the system. In that case, continue to step 3, and use the ultrasonic leak detector with the system under vacuum to identify where the leak is. For details on how to use it, watch the Tech2Tech video, “Check for A/C Leaks with the Ultra Sonic Leak Detector.”
2. Turn on the A/C, set the climate control to MAX COOL.
NOTE:
• Allow the dye to circulate in the A/C system for a minimum of 60 minutes before inspecting for leaks. Continue to step 3 while the A/C system is circulating the dye.
• If the customer is unable to leave the vehicle for an extended period, have the service advisor schedule a follow-up appointment 24 to 48 hours later.
3. Remove the front grille cover.

4. Remove clips and hardware securing the front bumper.
5. Pull the bumper out by both wheel wells to release it from the hooks on the side spacers.
Page 5 of 10
6. With the help of an assistant, pull the front bumper away from the side spacers, then release the bumper from the hooks on the upper beam.
7. Disconnect the foglight connectors.
8. Check for leaks in the central condenser area.
Page 6 of 10
9. Check the joints between the horizontal tubes and the vertical pipes.
10. Check the inlet and outlet joints and the dryer cap for leaks.
NOTE: Leaks from the O-rings or the receiver/dryer cap are not covered by this bulletin.
Examples of leaks detected with dye
Page 7 of 10
Leaks will appear fluorescent green/yellow under UV light.
Some leaks are visible with the correct angle of UV light. This leak is deep in the groove between fins.
Some leaks may not be visible from certain angles. Aim the UV light from different angles to detect leaks on horizontal tube surfaces.
Page 8 of 10
Some condensers may have multiple leaks.
• If the condenser is leaking, go to the next step.
• If the condenser is not leaking, this bulletin does not apply. Continue with normal troubleshooting.
11. Make sure the leak is not caused by a foreign object.
There are several types of damage that can result in a leak. This bulletin is for leaks that are caused by the manufacturing process. Damage like those caused by foreign objects that break the tube face are not covered under this warranty extension. A foreign object may damage the fins, but as long as the tube face is not impacted, the leak is covered under this warranty extension.
• Tube face damaged by foreign object – This bulletin does not apply, continue with normal system troubleshooting.
• Foreign object damage but tube face is not damaged, or the tube face is corroded – Go to REPAIR PROCEDURE.
• No damage or corrosion found but the condenser is leaking – Go to REPAIR PROCEDURE.

- 8OZ CANS – Cans are 8oz net weight. Gas is measured in weight when compressed. Please don’t shake the can and think “this doesn’t feel full”. It is, we promise. Different gases have different weights when compressed. R134a is 12oz in this can, ZeroR AC Refrigerant is 6oz in this can, all are 100% full.
- Returns - By law, products rated as hazardous materials (all compressed gasses) require a hazmat training & a license to ship. While this product may be returned for a refund, neither Amazon nor DIY Parts may provide a prepaid return shipping label due to liability reasons. Customers must assume all risk and cost for return shipping if they choose to return the products without proper certification. We apologize for any inconvenience this legal requirement may cause
- LEGAL DISCLAIMER: R1234YF Refrigerant for MVAC use in a 8oz Self-Sealing Container.

DiY Parts is not liable for customer’s failure to comply with any legal requirements. This product is flammable, follow all labeled precautions when handling. This product can only ship ground services.
- WHAT IS PERMAFROST? - ZeroR Permafrost is a performance booster for R1234YF AC systems. Permafrost synthesizes within the system to make it operate more efficiently, thereby improving cooling potential. Permafrost uses a propellent that is chemically compatible with all R1234YF systems and products. Permafrost compresses into a lighter weight than R1234YF in its liquid state. This lighter weight gas also contributes to its higher efficiency & performance. While this product is not advertised as a "recharge" kit, the gas within the can will provide some charge to your system. You can use as many of these cans in your R1234YF system as you wish.
- KIT CONTENTS - 3 Cans of ZeroR Permafrost are 4oz by weight. Yes, the cans are full. The can tap is 12” in length with a gauge metered for R1234YF systems. Standard R1234YF can taps will not work on ZeroR branded R1234YF cans, because our cans have a unique thread.
- 10 MINUTE INSTALL - While installation times will vary based on experience and condition of the system, installation can often be completed in about 10 minutes. Step by step instructions are included with each purchase. Contact us for any additional assistance by phone, text or email.
- MOST ECO FRIENDLY - ZeroR Permafrost is 100% natural and does not have any of the below listed risks that R1234YF carries. While R1234YF was an improvement over R134a in that it is non global warming and non ozone depleting, it is still a man made chemical which has proven to be POP, or Persistent Organic Pollutant. That means R1234YF is not biodegradable, can negatively impact water sources and if it does ignite it releases "highly corrosive and toxic hydrogen fluoride and the highly toxic gas carbonyl fluoride". Both R1234YF and ZeroR Permafrost carry a flammable designation.
- LEGAL: This kit contains flammable contents and should be handled, used and stored in appropriate conditions as outlined on the can label. Most importantly, keep this product in a cool, shaded environment that is away from any ignition source. It is the responsibility of the customer to comply with all Federal, State and Local laws and legislation when purchasing and using any refrigerant.
- KIT CONTENTS - 5 Cans of ZeroR Permafrost are 4oz by weight. The contents are a blend of the proprietary performance enhancer as well as a refrigerant to propel the additive into the system. The can tap is 12” in length with a gauge metered for R1234YF systems. Standard R1234YF can taps will not work on ZeroR branded R1234YF cans, because our cans have a unique thread.
- 10 MINUTE INSTALL - Please read the can label for important details. (1) Turn your vehicle on, set the AC to max cool & max fan. (2) Connect the can tap to the first can and the other end to the low side service port on the vehicle. (3) Flip the can upside down Use the valve to release the refrigerant into the system. Every 10-15 seconds close the valve to view the pressure gauge. Repeat step 3 until the pressure gauge indicates the system is full. Do not overfill your system!
