Normal Operation

Possible Causes
- A/C compressor
- A/C evaporator core orifice
- A/C lines
- evaporator core
- condenser
- refrigerant undercharged
- refrigerant overcharged
- excessive moisture or oil in the refrigerant

NOTE: Verify the cooling fans are operating correctly. If the cooling fans are inoperative, high system pressures and insufficient cooling will result.
