DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Climate Control System
WARNING: To avoid accidental deployment and possible injury, the air bag system
backup power supply must be depleted before repairing any climate control components. To
deplete the backup power supply, disconnect the battery ground cable and wait one minute.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
WARNING: Carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless and dangerous. If it is necessary to
operate the engine with the vehicle in a closed area such as a garage, always use an exhaust
collector to vent the exhaust gases outside the closed area.
WARNING: R- 134a is classified as a safe refrigerant, but misuse can make it dangerous.
The following precautions must be observed:
zAlways wear safety goggles when repairing an air conditioning system.
z Avoid contact with liquid refrigerant R- 134a. R-134a vaporizes at approximately - 25°C (-
13°F) under atmospheric pressure and it will freeze skin tissue.
z Never allow refrigerant R- 134a gas to escape in quantity in an occupied space. R- 134a is
non- toxic, but it will displace the oxygen needed to support life.
z Never use a torch in an atmosphere containing R- 134a gas. R-134a is non-toxic at all
normal conditions, but when it is exposed to high temperatures, such as a torch flame, it
decomposes. During decomposition it releases irritation and toxic gases (as described in
the MSDS sheet from the manufacturer). Decomposition products are hydrofluoric acid,
carbon dioxide and water.
z Do not allow any portion of the charged air conditioning system to become too hot. The
pressure in an air conditioning system rises as the temperature rises and temperatures
of approximately 85°C (185°F) can be dangerous.
z Allow the engine to cool sufficiently prior to carrying out maintenance or serious burns
and injury can occur.
CAUTION: To avoid damaging the vehicle or A/C components, the following precautions
must be observed:
zThe A/C refrigerant of all vehicles must be identified and analyzed prior to refrigerant
charging. Failure to due so can contaminate the shop bulk refrigerant and other vehicles.
z Do not add R- 12 refrigerant to an A/C system that requires the use of R- 134a refrigerant.
These two types of refrigerant must never be mixed. Doing so can damage the A/C
system.
z Charge the A/C system with the engine running only at the low- pressure side to prevent
refrigerant slugging from damaging the A/C compressor.
z Use only R- 134a refrigerant. Due to environmental concerns, when the air conditioning
system is drained, the refrigerant must be collected using refrigerant recovery/recycling
equipment. Federal law REQUIRES that R- 134a be recovered into appropriate recovery
equipment and the process be conducted by qualified technicians who have been
certified by an approved organization, such as MACS, ASI etc. Use of a recovery machine
dedicated to R- 134a is necessary to reduce the possibility of oil and refrigerant
incompatibility concerns. Refer to the instructions provided by the equipment manufacturer when removing refrigerant from or charging the air conditioning system. SECTION 412-

z
Refrigerant R- 134a must not be mixed with air for leak testing or used with air for any
other purpose above atmospheric pressure. R- 134a is combustible when mixed with high
concentrations of air and higher pressures.
z A number of manufacturers are producing alternative refrigerant products that are
designed to be used instead of R- 134a refrigerant. The use of any unauthorized
substitute refrigerant can severely damage the A/C components. If repair is required, use
only new or recycled refrigerant R- 134a.
CAUTION: To avoid contamination of the A/C system, always observe the following:
z Keep service tools and the work area clean.
z Never open or loosen a connection before discharging the system.
z When loosening a connection, if any residual pressure is evident, allow it to leak out
before opening the fitting.
z Evacuate a system that has been opened to install a new component or one that has
been discharged through leakage before charging.
z Seal an open fitting with a cap or plug immediately after disconnecting a component
from the system.
z Clean the outside of the fittings thoroughly before disconnecting a component from the
system.
z Do not remove the sealing caps from a new component until ready to install.
z Refrigerant oil will absorb moisture from the atmosphere if left uncapped. Do not open
an oil container until ready to use, and install the cap immediately after using. Store the
oil in a clean, moisture- free container.
z Install a new O- ring seal before connecting an open fitting. Coat the fitting and the O- ring
seal with refrigerant oil before connecting.
z When installing a refrigerant line, avoid sharp bends. Position the line away from the
exhaust or any sharp edges that can chafe the line.
z Do not open a refrigerant system or uncap a new component unless it is as close as
possible to room temperature. This will prevent condensation from forming inside a
component that is cooler than the surrounding air.
The manual climate control system heats or cools the vehicle depending on the function selector
switch position and the temperature selected.
zThe function selector switch position determines heating or cooling and air distribution.
z The temperature control setting determines the air temperature.
z The heater blower motor switch (18578) varies the blower motor speed.
Principles of Operation
There are four main principles involved with the basic theory of operation:
zheat transfer
z latent heat of vaporization
z relative humidity
z effects of pressure Heat Transfer Klj . 2 ba
