DESCRIPTION
Slight variations exist among manual A/C-heater systems used.
On Montero, a Nippondenso 10-cylinder compressor is used. Cycling of
compressor clutch is controlled by an automatic A/C Control Unit
(ACCU).
Compressors will only operate within normal temperatures and
pressures set for each model. An electric condenser fan operates
whenever A/C system is operating. System components may vary depending
upon model. Systems may include an ACCU, fan switch, evaporator,
temperature sensor, dual-pressure switch, engine coolant temperature
switch, compressor, condenser, receiver-drier and various pipes and
hoses.
OPERATION
A/C CONTROL UNIT (ACCU)
ACCU controls cycling of compressor clutch based on
information received from air thermosensor and air inlet sensor, dual-
pressure switch, A/C switch and A/C engine coolant temperature switch.
ACCU is attached to top of evaporator housing.

ADJUSTMENTS
NOTE: For adjustment procedures, see HEATER SYSTEM article.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
NO COOLING
1) Ensure compressor clutch is operating. If compressor
clutch is operating, go to next step. If compressor clutch is not
operating, check fuses and A/C switch. Check dual-pressure switch.
Check air inlet sensor and air thermosensor. Check A/C compressor
relay. Check A/C compressor clutch coil. Check A/C control unit.
2) Ensure system is properly charged with correct amount of
refrigerant. Evacuate and charge system as necessary. Ensure receiver-
drier is not clogged. Check compressor belt for proper tension. Check
for clogged expansion valve. Check compressor operation. Repair or
replace components as necessary.
INSUFFICIENT AIRFLOW
Check for air leakage at air duct joint. Check for frost on
evaporator. Ensure blower motor is operating properly. Check for
obstructed air intake.
INSUFFICIENT COOLING
Ensure system is properly charged with correct amount of
refrigerant and free of air and moisture. Evacuate and charge system
as necessary. Ensure receiver-drier is not clogged. Ensure sufficient
airflow through condenser exists. Check compressor belt for proper
tension. Check compressor operation. Repair or replace compressor as
necessary. Check for clogged expansion valve. Replace expansion valve
as necessary. Check A/C compressor clutch coil.
INTERMITTENT COOL AIR
Check for air or moisture in system. Evacuate and charge
system as necessary. Check for expansion valve malfunction. Replace
expansion valve if necessary. Check compressor belt for proper
tension.
TESTING
* PLEASE READ THIS FIRST *
WARNING: To avoid injury from accidental air bag deployment, read and
carefully follow all SERVICE PRECAUTIONS and DISABLING &
ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM procedures in AIR BAG RESTRAINT
SYSTEM article.
NOTE: For testing procedures not covered in this article, see
HEATER SYSTEM article.
A/C SYSTEM PERFORMANCE
1) Park vehicle out of direct sunlight. Install A/C gauge
set. Start engine and allow it to idle at 1000 RPM. Turn A/C on. Set
A/C controls to recirculated air, panel (vent) mode and full cold
Page 87 of 1501
settings.
2) Set blower/fan on high speed. Close doors and windows.
Insert thermometer in center vent. Operate system for 20 minutes to
allow system to stabilize. Measure temperature.
3) Discharge air temperature must be 37-44
F (3-7C) at
center vent, with high side and low side pressures within
specification. See A/C SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS table at beginning of
article.
A/C CONTROL UNIT (ACCU)
1) Locate A/C Control Unit (ACCU) on top of evaporator case
and disconnect 10-pin connector. Inspect connector and wiring for
damage. Turn ignition and A/C on. Set temperature control to maximum
cooling and blower switch to high. Using a DVOM set to appropriate
test function, inspect harness side of connector. See Fig. 3. Go to
next step. If all test readings are as specified, replace ACCU.
2) Terminal No. 1 (Green/Yellow wire) is ACCU output. With
A/C and blower motor on, battery voltage should be present when ACCU
has received signals from pressure and temperature sensors confirming
A/C operation is okay.
3) Terminal No. 3 (Green/Blue wire) is ACCU power supply whe\
n
A/C switch is in A/C mode. With ignition and blower on, and A/C switch
at second level setting, battery voltage should be present.
4) Terminal No. 5 (Green/Red wire) is ACCU power supply when\
A/C switch is in ECONO mode. With ignition and blower on, and A/C
switch at first level setting, battery voltage should be present.
Terminals No. 2 and 7 (Black wire) are ACCU grounds. There should be
zero volts at all times.
5) Turn ignition off. Reconnect 10-pin connector. Turn
ignition on. Turn A/C on. Set temperature control to maximum cooling
and blower switch to high. Backprobe 10-pin connector. Go to next
step. If all test readings are as specified, replace ACCU.
6) Terminal No. 10 (Blue/White wire) is air thermosensor
power supply. With ignition, blower and A/C on, approximately 5.5
volts should be present.
7) Terminal No. 8 (Blue/Yellow wire) is air thermosensor
signal. When temperature of evaporator outlet portion is 77
F (25C),
there should be approximately 3.6 volts present.
8) Terminal No. 4 (White/Blue wire) is air inlet sensor powe\
r
supply. With ignition, blower and A/C on, approximately 5.5 volts
should be present.
9) Terminal No. 9 (Yellow/Green wire) is air inlet sensor
signal. When temperature of evaporator outlet portion is 77
F (25C),
there should be approximately 1.5 volts present.

AIR THERMOSENSOR & AIR INLET SENSOR
1) Disconnect sensor connector at evaporator case. See
Fig. 12 . Using ohmmeter, measure resistance between sensor terminals.
See AIR THERMOSENSOR & AIR INLET SENSOR SPECIFICATIONS table.
2) If resistance is not within specifications, faulty sensor
must be replaced. If resistance is within specifications and all other
components are okay, replace A/C Compressor Control Unit (ACCU).
