ChargingLeak Test
Use only service equipment that is U.L.-listed and is cer-
tified to meet the requirements of SAE J2210 to remove
HFC-134a (R-134a) from the air conditioner system.
CAUTION: Exposure to air conditioner refrig6rant and
lubricant vapol or mist can irritate eyes. nose and
throat. Avoid broating the air conditione. relrigerant
and lubricant vapor o; mist.
lf accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work
area before resuming service.
R-134a service equipment or vehicle air conditioner sys-
tems should not be pressure tested or leak tested with
compressed air.
@ some mixtures of air and R-1348 have
been shown to be combustible at €levat€d pre3sures
and can rosult in fire or explosion causing iniury or
property damage. Never use compressed air to pressure
test R-134a s€rvics oquipment or vehicle air conditioner
Systems.
Additional health and safety information may be
obtained from the refrigerant and lubricant manufac-
rures.
Connect a R-134a refrigerant Recovery/Recycling/
Charging System to the vehicle, as shown in the pre-
vious column, following the equipment manufactur-
er's instructions.
NOTE: Be sure to install the same amount of new
refrigerant oil back into the A/C system before
charging.
Open high pressure valve to charge the system to
the specified capacity, then close the supply valve,
and remove the charging system couplers.
R€frigerani capacity: 700 1o g 124.7 llroz)
Check the system for leaks using a R-134a refriger-
ant leak detector with an accuracy of 14 g (0.5 oz)
per year or better.
lf you find leaks that require the system to be
opened (to repair or replace houses. fittings, etc.),
recover the system according to the Recover
Procedure on page 22-22.
After checking and repairing leaks, the system must
be evacuated (see System Evacuation on page 22-
38).
JUse only service equipment that is U.L.-listed and is cer-
tified to meet the requirements of SAE J2210 to remove
HFC-134a (R-134a) from the air conditioner system.
CAUTION: Exposure to air conditioner r€frigsrant and
lubricant vapol or mist can irritate eyos, nose and
throat. Avoid broathing the air conditioner reftigerant
and lubricant vapor or mist.
lf accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work
area before resuming service. Additional health and
safety information may be obtained from the refrigerant
and lubricant manufactures.
Retrigerant capscity: 700 % g (2,[.7 i.sozl
CAUTION: Do nol overcharge tho sy3tem; the compres-
sor will b6 damaged.

Air Deliver| (cont'd)
- How the Circuit Works
The air delivery system directs the flow of air used
by the heater and air conditioner systems.
Mode Selection
Mode selection is controlled by the mode switches in
the heater control panel and the mode control motor.
When you select a specific mode, voltage is applied
through the dimming control circuit to the LED, which
comes on, indicating the mode selected. Ground is
provided to the mode control motor though that
mode switch. The motor then runs until the air
control door reaches the proper position.
Fresh/Recirculation Selection
When you press the recirculation button, a ground
signal is sent from the heater control panel to the
recirculation control motor. The motor lhen runs
until the recirculation door reaches the opposite
Dosition. When the recirculation button is in the
REC position, battery voltage is applied through the
dimming control circuit to the recirculate LED, and
the LED comes on.
Refer to the Service Manual (Section 21, Heate0 for
specif ic tests or troubleshooting procedures.

A/C Gompressor Controls (conrd)
- How the Circuit Works
Battery voltage is supplied through fuse 56 to the
A,/C compressor clutch relay contacts at all times.
With the ignition switch in ON (ll), voltage is applied
to the coil of the A,/C compressor clutch relay
through fuse 17. When you push the A,/C switch
ON, and the heater fan switch is in posation 1, 2, 3,
or 4, a "ground" input is provided to the engine or
powertrain control module (ECM or PCM) through
the A,/C thermostat and the A,/C pressure switch.
The A,/C compressor clutch relay is grounded by the
engine or powertrain control module (ECM or PCM).
When energized, the A,/C compressor clutch relay
allows battery voltage to turn on the A,/C
comDressor clutch,
The A,/C ON indicator light comes on when the A"/C
system is requested.
A,/C Thermostat
The A,/C thermostat is located on the evaoorator
housing. The AJC thermostat turns off the A,/C
compressor clutch if the temperature at the
evaporator goes below 3'C (37'F). This prevents
condensation from freezing on the evaporator fins
and blocking the air delivery into the passenger
compartment. The blower motor will keep running
when the sensor lurns off the compressor.
A,/C Pressure Switch
The A,/C pressure switch is located in the condenser
outlet line where refrigerant is in a high
temperature/high pressure liquid state. The switch
will sense abnormally high or low pressure, and
open the circuit. This removes ground, and the
compressor will stop running.
Refer to the Service Manual (Section 22,
Air Conditioning) for specific tests or
troubleshooting procedures.
