Heating and Air Conditioning
Recirculation Control Motor Test
1. Disconnect the 5P connector from the recirculation
control motor.
Incorrectly applying power and ground to
the recirculation control motor will damge it.
Follow the instructions carefullv.
2. Connect batterv oower to the No. 5 terminal ofthe
recirculation control motor, and ground the No. 1
and No. 2 terminals; the recirculation control motor
should run smoothly. To avoid damaging the
recirculation control motor, do not reverse power
and ground. Disconnect the No. 1 or No. 2
terminals from ground; the recirculation control
motor should stop at Fresh or Recirculate. Don't
cycle the recirculation control motor {or a long time.
RECIRCULATION CONTROL MOTOR
lf the recirculation control motor does not run in
step 2, remove it, then check the recirculation
control linkage and doors for smooth movement.
. lfthe linkage and doors move smoothly, replace
the recirculation control motor.. lf the linkageordoorsstickor bind, repairthem
as neeoeo.

Heating and Air Conditioning
A/C System Tests (cont'd)
1.
Performance Test
Air conditioning refrigerant or lubricant vapor
can irritate your eyes, nose, or throar.
Be carefulwhen connecting service equipment.
Do not breathe refrigerant or vapor.
The performance test will help determine if the air
conditioner system is operating within specifications.
Use only service equipment that is U.L.-listed and is
cenified to meet the requirements of SAE J2210 toremove HFC-134a (R-134alfrom the air conditioning
system.
lf accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate the
work area before resuming service
R-134a service equipment or vehicle air conditioning
systems should not be pressure tested or leak testedwith compressed air.
Additional health and safety information may be
obtained from the refrigerant and lubricant
manufacturers.
Connect a R-134a refrigerant recover/recycling/
charging station to the high-pressure service port
and the low-pressure service port, following the
equipment manufacturer's instructions.
Determine the relative humidity and air
Iemperaru re.
' Compressed air mixed with R-134a forms a
combustible vapor.. The vapor can burn or explode causing serious
Injury.. Never use compressed air to pressure test
R-134a service equipment or vehicle air
conditioning systems.
21-58
4.
Open the glove box. Remove both glove box stops,
then let the glove box hang down (see page 20-63).
Insert a thermometer (A) in the center vent, andplace another thermometer {B) near the blower unit.
Test conditions:
. Avoid direct sunlight.. Open the hood.. Open the front doors.. Sel the temperature control dial on Max Cool, the
mode control dial on Vent, and the recirculation
control switch on Recirculate.. Turn the A,/C switch on and the fan switch on Max.. Run the engine at 750 rpm.. No driver or passengers in vehicle.
After running the air conditioning for I0 minutes
under the above test conditjons, read the delivery
temperature from the thermometer in the center
vent, the intake temperature near the blower unit,
and the high and low system pressure from the Ay'Cga uges.
