- Insufficient fluid charge.  
- Constriction of the HP system.  
- Dirty pressure control valve.  
- Faulty pressure control valve.  
- Faulty compressor.  
High pressure  
too low  
- Cooling fan speed unsuitable.  
- Faulty compressor.  
High pressure  
normal  
- Faulty compressor.  
- Dirty evaporator.  
- Circuit normal  
- Cooling fan speed unsuitable.  
- Excessive fluid charge.  
- Dirty condenser.  
- Faulty pressure control valve.  
- Cooling fan speed unsuitable.  
- Faulty pressure control valve.  
- System blocked.  
- Water in the system.  
- Presence of solid matter in the system.  
- Dirty condenser.  
High pressure  
too high  
Checking the pressure at temperatures between 15°C and 35°C for information only.  
In general, the pressure should be approximately :  
- for R134.a fluid, less than 2 Bars (Low pressure), and between 13 and 24 Bars (High pressure).

Checks on the air conditioning circuit  
Key.  
T = Scale of Temperature (°C ), and of High  
Pressure (Bars).  
P = Scale of Low pressure (Bars).  
Te = Exterior temperature (°C).  
HP = Pressure at compressor outlet (Bars).  
Ta = Temperature (°C) of air blown from the  
vents.  
BP = Pressure at compressor inlet (Bars).
