A/C not Cooling – 2013-2016 Ford & Lincoln

AIR CONDITIONING (A/C) NOT COOLING – BUILT ON OR BEFORE 8/18/2015

FORD: 2015 Edge; 2013-2016 Fusion
LINCOLN: 2013-2016 MKZ; 2016 MKX

Issue

2013-2016 Fusion, MKZ, 2015 Edge and 2016 MKX vehicles built on or before 8/18/2015 can exhibit a concern with the A/C not cooling due to low refrigerant level.

Action

Follow the Service Procedure to correct the condition.

SERVICE PROCEDURE
1.Connect the air conditioning system service unit or R-134a manifold gauge set to the refrigerant system. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 412-00.
2.Check high pressure side and low pressure side with the key in the off position. With the key in the off position, the high side and low side pressures should read approximately the same pressure once the system has stabilized.

  • 1.If high pressure side and low pressure side are below 200 kPa (29 PSI), proceed to Step 3.
  • 2.If high pressure side and low pressure side are 200 kPa (29 PSI) or higher, this procedure does not apply. Refer to WSM, Section 412-00 for normal diagnosis.

3.Disconnect the evaporator inlet and outlet manifold line from the thermostatic expansion valve. Refer to the WSM, Section 412-00.
4.Plug the evaporator inlet and outlet manifold line using a clean shipping cap and/or paper towel to prevent debris from entering the lines. (Figure 1)
Figure 1 – 15-0145
5.Use 220 grit sandpaper to remove any burrs from the evaporator outlet (large diameter) manifold line. (Figure 2)
Figure 2 – 15-0145

  • 1.After removing any burrs from the line, use a clean dry microfiber cloth to remove any debris that may be left on the end of the line.

6.Remove the paper towel and/or shipping cap from the evaporator inlet and outlet manifold line.
7.Install new o-rings on the evaporator inlet and outlet manifold line.
8.Reverse the removal procedure to reconnect the evaporator inlet and outlet manifold line. Refer to WSM, Section 412-00.
