Expansion Valve The expansion valve is located on the passenger compartment side of the dash panel. The expansion ‘vale can fallin three diferent positions: open, closed, for resireted. An expansion valve that fale in the open ppesiton wil esuttin aneisy A/C-compressor or no coat ing. The cause can be a broken spring, a broken ball. or ferosssive moisture in the AVC system. Ifthe spring or ‘the bal is found to be detective, replace the expansion valve. If excessive moisture is found in the AIC System, recycie the refigerant. An excansion valve that fails ‘the dosed positon wil result iow susion pressure and rn cooling. This may be exuses by afales power dene fr excessive moisture in the AIC system.
