Dye Injection

Use one of the following methods in order to inject the R-134a dye:
1. With the A/C system charged, use the instructions provided with the new R-134a leak injection tool J 41436.
2. With the A/C system discharged, add dye into the new replaced component assembly.

After servicing an A/C component using dye, clean any residual dye from the joint and the access port. Cleaning will prevent a false diagnosis later.
