Included Operations

Each operation identified in the text is considered to be a stand-alone operation

If all refrigerant has been lost by collision damage, or if refrigerant lines have been opened and not immediately sealed, the receiver drier should be replaced. Replacement of collision damaged parts on a system that is still pressurized should not require replacement of receiver drier.

Refrigerant recovery is the removal of refrigerant from the vehicle A/C system as specified by SAE standard J‑2209 and its transfer to a holding tank. The recovery operation does not include recycling of the used refrigerant.
