Air Pressure Test

Smoke or dusting powder can be used with the following air pressure procedure. The exact location of the leak can then be seen as smoke or powder travels through a poor seal.
1. Perform a visually inspection.
2. Mask off the body pressure relief valve. The pressure relief valve is accessed from inside the vehicle by removing the rear compartment left rear corner trim panel.
3. Close any vehicle openings, such as the doors and the windows.
4. Pressurize the vehicle interior.

Turn ON the vehicles ventilation fan or pressurize the vehicle interior with an air hose. The abnormal amount of high pressure introduced to the interior will escape through any poor seals.
5. With a stethoscope, or a piece of a heater hose, listen for escaping air along the roof, door, and window seals.
