Refrigerant System Charge
WARNING: REFER TO THE APPLICABLE WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS FOR THIS SYSTEM BEFORE PERFORMING THE FOLLOWING OPERATION.
After all refrigerant system leaks have been repaired and the refrigerant system has been evacuated, a refrigerant charge can be injected into the system. For the proper amount of the refrigerant charge, refer to the Underhood HVAC Specification Tag. An R-134a refrigerant recovery/recycling/charging station that meets SAE Standard J2210 must be used to charge the refrigerant system with R-134a refrigerant. See the operating instructions supplied by the equipment manufacturer for proper care and use of this equipment.
REFRIGERANT CHARGE CAPACITY
NOTE: Always refer to the underhood HVAC Specification Tag for the latest fill specification for the vehicle being serviced.
CHARGING PROCEDURE
- Evacuate the refrigerant system .
- A manifold gauge set and a R-134a refrigerant recovery/recycling/charging station that meets SAE Standard J2210 should still be connected to the refrigerant system.
- Measure the proper amount of refrigerant (1.88 lb) and heat it to 52°C (125°F) with the charging station. See the operating instructions supplied by the equipment manufacturer for proper use of this equipment.
- Open both the suction and discharge valves, then open the charge valve to allow the heated refrigerant to flow into the system.
- When the transfer of refrigerant has stopped, close both the suction and discharge valves.
- If all of the refrigerant charge did not transfer from the dispensing device, open all of the windows in the vehicle and set the heater-air conditioner controls so that the compressor is engaged and the blower motor is operating at its lowest speed setting. Run the engine at a steady high idle (about 1400 rpm ). If the compressor will not engage, test the compressor clutch control circuit and repair as required.
- Open the suction valve to allow the remaining refrigerant to transfer to the refrigerant system.
WARNING: TAKE CARE NOT TO OPEN THE DISCHARGE (HIGH PRESSURE) VALVE AT THIS TIME.
- Close the suction valve and test the system performance.
- Disconnect the charging station and manifold gauge set from the refrigerant system service ports.
- Reinstall the caps onto the refrigerant system service ports.
- Run the HVAC Control Cooldown test to verify proper operation.

How do you replace a cooling fan on a 2005 pacifica?

Why does the ABS light on a Chrysler Pacifica keep coming on?
This is a very common problem with Pacificas. I own one myself, a 2005, and my ABS is almost always on. It came on 3 mths after I bought it, after my warranty ran out. If you research it, it's usually something to do with speed censors going out, or brake sensors. Usually when you have them replaced, they'll go back out again in a months time, and they're costly too! I wish I could just get rid of my car altogether! For now though, I went to www.nhtsa.gov, the National Highway Traffic Administration and sent in a complaint so they can research the problem and possibly put a recall on it, since it's such a popular issue with these cars. If you don't mind, please go and put in your own complaint. Maybe if we get enough of these, they'll recall them, and we won't have to pay for their mistakes in building these cars. Thank you & good luck!
Additional information: I have a 2006 Pacifica with the exact same problem. We were lucky & bought an extended warranty on ours, so we haven't had to pay for the "repairs" to this issue. However, just to let you know, no matter how many sensors or whatnot they've replaced, the problem just keeps coming back over and again. The service manager at the Chrysler dealership told me that the Chrysler engineers are aware of the problem, have no idea what's causing it or how to fix it.
I'm considering demanding Chrysler take the vehicle back. I can't be sure that the brakes/ABS don't have a problem, and I have a long commute to work on busy roads. The dealership said might be worth a try, they don't know if Chrysler has done this in the past (bought back) or not. If I am successful with that, I'll post.
