GM Service Manual Online
For 1990-2009 cars only

The primary seal for the service ports is the sealing cap. The cap contains a specially designed O-ring or gasket. The O-ring or gasket provides a leak-free seal. Loss of the refrigerant charge will occur if any of the following conditions occur:

    • The cap becomes loose
    • The cap is missing
    • The wrong cap is used

Ensure that the cap has a rubber seal.
