• Component condition, leaks, or damage

Heating and Air Conditioning Tests

• Pressure test engine cooling system
• A/C system pressures are measured and compared to the manufacturer's specifications
• A/C system is leak tested
• Both the heater and A/C are performance-tested by checking the outlet air temperature at the discharge vents
