ADJUSTMENTS
SLIDING DOOR ADJUSTMENTS
PRELIMINARY CHECKS
(1) Close sliding door, visually checking C-post
striker alignment entry into latch. Striker at this
point must not affect alignment.(2) On vehicles with left sliding doors, check the
fuel door blocker striker entry into latch. Striker at
this point must not affect alignment.
(3) Check C-post and B-post for door to aperture
gaps and door to door gaps. All gaps should be 5 mm
61 mm.
(4) C
heck door for height using character lines as a
reference. Also check roof contour as a controlling factor.
UP/DOWN ADJUSTMENT
(1) Visually inspect the sliding door for fitting low
at the rear of the door by checking the alignment of
the belt line of the door to quarter panel.
(2) Fully open the sliding door.
(3) Verify that all center hinge bolts are tight.
(4) Adjust the rear of the sliding door up by turn-
ing the center hinge bolt clockwise (Fig. 137).
(5) Close the door and check the sliding door align-
ment.
(6) Readjust the center hinge if necessary to obtain
alignment between the belt line of the sliding door
and quarter panel.
(7) Fully open door and apply thread lock nut onto
the center hinge bolt. Tighten nut until till it butts
up against the welded nut on the center hinge.
Tighten nut to 15 N´m (130 in. lbs.). It may be nec-
essary to hold the center hinge bolt to prevent it
from turning while tightening nut.
(8) Verify alignment. Re-adjust as necessary.
FORE/AFT ADJUSTMENT
(1) Check height of sliding door at the B-post and
C-post to determine which area is contributing the
greatest to the incorrect gaps.
(2) If the sliding door is high at the C-post;
(a) Open the door to mid-point of travel.

The High Side service port is a two piece port and
is serviceable. The Low Side service port is not ser-
viceable, the suction line would have to be replaced.
REAR BLOWER SPEED SWITCH
The rear blower speed switch controls the rear
blower with the choice of low and high speeds. When
the switch is on it allows the blower speed switch
located on the rear headliner to control rear blower
speed. This switch will override the rear headliner
blower switch. For operation instructions refer to the
Owner's Manual. The rear blower speed switch is
serviced separately from the A/C control module. For
service procedures, refer to Group 8E, Instrument
Panel And Gauges.
COMPRESSOR HIGH-PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
The High Pressure Relief Valve prevents damage
to the air conditioning system if excessive pressure
develops. Excessive pressure can be caused by con-
denser air flow blockage, refrigerant overcharge, or
air and moisture in the system.The high pressure relief valve vents only a small
amount of refrigerant necessary to reduce system
pressure and then reseats itself. The majority of the
refrigerant is conserved in the system. The valve is
calibrated to vent at a pressure of 3450 to 4140 kPa
(500 to 600 psi). If a valve has vented a small
amount of refrigerant, it does not necessarily mean
the valve is defective.
The High Pressure Relief Valve is located on the
compressor manifold at the discharge passage.
NOTE: Special effort must be used to keep all
R-134a system components moisture-free. Moisture
in the oil is very difficult to remove and will cause a
reliability problem with the compressor.
CONDENSATE DRAIN
Condensation from the evaporator housing is
drained through the dash panel and on to the
ground. This drain must be kept open to prevent
water from collecting in the bottom of the housing.
If the drain is blocked condensate cannot drain,
causing water to back up and spill into the passenger
compartment. It is normal to see condensate drain-
age below the vehicle.
ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
To maintain ample temperature levels from the
heating-A/C system, the cooling system must be in
proper working order. Refer to Group 0, Lubrication
and Maintenance or Group 7, Cooling System of this
manual.
The use of a bug screen is not recommended. Any
obstructions forward of the condenser can reduce the
effectiveness of the air conditioning system.
EVAPORATOR PROBE
The Evaporator probe is located on the HVAC. The
probe prevents evaporator freeze-up by signaling the
Powertrain Control Module to cycle the compressor
ON and OFF. The probe monitors the temperature of
the refrigerant after expansion.
The evaporator probe is inserted into the evapora-
tor between the coils. The probe is a sealed unit and
cannot be adjusted or repaired. It must be replaced if
found defective.
HANDLING TUBING AND FITTINGS
Kinks in the refrigerant tubing or sharp bends in
the refrigerant hose lines will greatly reduce the
capacity of the entire system. High pressures are pro-
duced in the system when it is operating. Extreme
care must be exercised to make sure that all connec-
tions are pressure tight. Dirt and moisture can enter
the system when it is opened for repair or replace-
ment of lines or components. The refrigerant oil will
