A/C Service Station, Connecting For Measuring And Testing
-- On vehicles with a high-voltage system, switch off (deactivate) the "auxiliary climate control" function. Refer to the Owner's Manual and Infotainment/MMI Operating Manual.
-- Switch off the ignition.
-- Connect the A/C service station to the power supply.
-- Assemble adapter set and screw to connection on low-pressure side.
-- Connect the quick-release coupling adapter to the charging hoses of service station (handwheels not screwed in/hand shut-off valve not open).
-- Switch on the service station and evacuate the charging hoses (only necessary if there is air in charging hoses).
-- Switch off the service station.
-- Remove the cap from the service connection/connection with valve (or remove low-pressure switch and bridge respective electrical connections).
-- Connect the service station via the service connections with the quick-release coupling adapters to the vehicle refrigerant circuit.
-- Install the handwheel on the quick-release coupling adapters only until valve is definitely open at refrigerant circuit connection (observe pressure gauge, do not strain valve).
-- Perform the planned tests and measurements.
