2017-2018 Escape/2017-2019 MKC – Lack Of Air Conditioning (A/C) Cooling Performance During Pre-delivery Inspection (PDI)
Some 2017-2018 Escape and 2017-2019 MKC vehicles may exhibit a lack of A/C cooling performance during PDI.
This may be due to a insufficient/low refrigerant charge.
If a vehicle displays a lack of cooling performance during PDI, inspect for a leak.
Refer to the diagnostics in Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 412-00 for A/C leak detection.
Many times when the system is only evacuated and refilled to the proper level at PDI the customer will return for a lack of cooling performance concern.
A refrigerant leak will usually be identified as the root cause.

ZeroR® Permafrost for R1234YF AC Systems | Performance Booster | 3 Cans + 24" HD Can Tap Gauge
- PERFORMANCE BOOSTER CHARGE KIT - ZeroR is a performance booster for use with R1234YF AC systems. You can use as many cans in your system as you wish, while being sure not to overfill the system with the included can tap with gauge.
- KIT CONTENTS - The can tap is 24 in length with a gauge metered for R1234YF systems. Standard R1234YF can taps will not work on ZeroR branded R1234YF cans, because our cans have a unique thread. 3 cans of ZeroR Permafrost in 4oz cans.
- NOT A Full Refrigerant - This product is a support fluid performance booster. It is a combination of two ZeroR products in one. The first part removes moisture (moisture can cause damage and reduced performance in the system), and the second part reduces friction (friction can reduce refrigerant flow and cause compressor damage)
- 24 in Charging Hose with Can Tap & Gauge - New longer 24 inch connection hose accomodates those harder to reach low side ports that were previously difficult to reach with a shorter 12 inch hose.
- 10 MINUTE INSTALL - Easy instructions are included and will take as little as 10 minutes to complete.
