Operational Test

To determine if the electrical and refrigeration systems are operating efficiently, do the following:
1. Operate the blower at all speeds and check the compressor clutch engagement. This indicates that the electrical circuits are working.
2. Check the hand felt temperature of the evaporator inlet pipe and accumulator surface. The same temperature indicates a properly charged system.
3. Operate the A/C control selector to distribute air from the outlets.
