Description
The Engine Control Module (ECM) consists of a microcomputer and electrical connectors containing circuits for signal
input, output, power supply and ground. The ECM controls the engine functions.
The following are the input and output components monitored by the ECM. The monitored functions include compo-
nents from the engine, ignition, transaxle, air conditioning, or any other ECM supported subsystem.
ECM Inputs
•Brake Switch Sensor
• Refrigerant Pressure Sensor
• Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor
• Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor
• Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor
• Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor (1.6L)
• Air Flow Sensor (1.8L)
• Throttle Position Sensor (Integral with Electronic Throttle Control Actuator)
• Power Steering Switch
• Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor
• Knock Sensor
• Oxygen Sensor (Upstream & Downstream)
• Vehicle Speed Sensor
• Clutch Pedal Switch (Manual transaxle only)
ECM Outputs
• Canister Control Valve
• Fuel Injectors
• Fuel Pump Relay
• Electronic Throttle Control Actuator
• Ignition Coil
• A/C Compressor
• Cooling Fan
• Oxygen Sensor Heater (Upstream & Downstream)
Operation
The ECM monitors components and circuits, and tests them in various ways depending on the hardware, function,
and type of signal. For example, analog inputs, such as throttle position or engine coolant temperature are typically
checked for opens, shorts and out-of-range values. This type of monitoring is carried out continuously. Some digital
inputs like vehicle speed or crankshaft position rely on rationality checks - checking to see if the input value makes
sense at the current engine operating conditions. These types of tests may require monitoring several components
and can only be carried out under appropriate test conditions.
The ECM is a pre-programmed, microprocessor-based digital computer. It regulates ignition timing, air-fuel ratio,
emission control devices, charging system, certain transmission features, speed control, air conditioning compressor
clutch engagement and idle speed. The ECM can adapt its programming to meet changing operating conditions.

Description
The A/C refrigerant lines and pipes are used to carry the refrigerant between the various A/C system components.
Any kinks or sharp bends in the refrigerant lines and hoses will reduce the capacity of the entire A/C system and can
reduce the flow of refrigerant within the system.
Operation
High pressure is produced in a refrigerant system when the A/C compressor is operating. Extreme care must be
exercised to make sure that each of the refrigerant system connections is pressure-tight and leak free. It is a good
practice to inspect all flexible hose refrigerant lines at least once a year to make sure they are in good condition and
properly routed. Depending on vehicle, model and market application, refrigerant lines are connected to each other or
other A/C system components with block-type or quick-connect type fittings. To ensure the integrity of the refrigerant
system, O-rings and/or gaskets may be used to seal the refrigerant system connections. The refrigerant lines and
hoses cannot be repaired and must be replaced if leaking or damaged.
WARNING!
The A/C system contains refrigerant under high pressure. Repairs should only be performed by qualified service
personnel. Serious or fatal injury may result from improper service procedures.
If accidental A/C system discharge occurs, ventilate the work area before resuming service. Large amounts of
refrigerant released in a closed work area will displace the oxygen and cause suffocation and serious or fatal
injury.
CAUTION:
Never add R-12 to a refrigerant system designed to use R-134a. Do not use R-12 equipment or
parts on an R-134a A/C system. These refrigerants are not compatible and damage to the A/C sys-
tem will result.
CAUTION:
Never use R-12 refrigerant oil in an A/C system designed to use R-134a refrigerant oil. These refrig-
erant oils are not compatible and damage to the A/C system will result.
CAUTION:
Do not run the engine with a vacuum pump in operation or with a vacuum present within the A/C
system. Failure to follow this caution will result in serious A/C compressor damage.
CAUTION:
Do not overcharge the refrigerant system. Overcharging will cause excessive compressor head
pressure and can cause compressor noise and A/C system failure.

Evaporator
Description
The evaporator core is located in the HVAC housing, under the instrument panel. The evaporator coil is positioned in
the HVAC housing so that all air that enters the housing must pass over the fins of the evaporator before it is dis-
tributed through the system ducts and outlets. However, air passing over the evaporator core fins will only be con-
ditioned when the compressor is engaged and circulating refrigerant through the evaporator coil tubes.
Operation
Refrigerant enters the evaporator from the orifice tube as a low-temperature, low-pressure liquid. As air flows over
the fins of the evaporator, the humidity in the air condenses on the fins, and the heat from the air is absorbed by the
refrigerant. Heat absorption causes the refrigerant to boil and vaporize. The refrigerant becomes a low-pressure gas
before it leaves the evaporator. The evaporator core housing directs airflow from the blower motor through the evap-
orator core and heater core. All airflow from the blower motor passes through the evaporator core. The airflow is then
directed through or around the heater core by the temperature blend door(s).
Removal & Installation
1. Evacuate the A/C system (See A/C System Evacuation and Recharge in Section 13 Heating & Air Conditioning).
2. Remove the expansion valve.
3. Remove the HVAC housing (See HVAC Housing Removal and Installation in Section 13 Heating & Air Condi-
tioning).

5. Remove the evaporator core.

Installation Notes:
• Lubricate new rubber O-ring seals with clean refrigerant oil and install them and new gaskets onto the refriger-
ant line fittings.
• Use only the specified O-rings as they are made of a special material for the R-134a system.
• Use only refrigerant oil of the type recommended for the A/C compressor in the vehicle.
• Recharge the A/C system (See A/C System Evacuation and Recharge in Section 13 Heating & Air Condition-
ing).
Condenser
Description
The condenser is located in the air flow in front of the engine cooling radiator. The condenser transforms the refrig-
erant from a gas into a liquid. It is attached to the vehicle with bolts and the A/C lines with fittings.
Operation
When the heat is removed from the refrigerant, it condenses. When the refrigerant leaves the condenser, it becomes
a high-pressure liquid refrigerant. The volume of air flowing over the condenser fins is critical to the proper cooling
performance of the air conditioning system. Therefore, it is important that there are no objects placed in front of the
radiator grille openings in the front of the vehicle or foreign material on the condenser fins that might obstruct proper
air flow. Also, any factory-installed air seals or shrouds must be properly reinstalled following radiator or condenser
service.

Accumulator
Description
The accumulator is connected directly between the condenser and the expansion valve. Accumulator is used on sys-
tems that use an orifice tube to meter refrigerants into the evaporator.
Operation
The primary function of the accumulator is to isolate the compressor from any damaging liquid refrigerant. The accu-
mulator removes debris and moisture from the air conditioning system.
Removal & Installation
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Evacuate the A/C system (See A/C System Evacuation and Recharge in Section 13 Heating & Air Conditioning).

Liquid Line
Description
The A/C liquid line connects the A/C condenser to the A/C evaporator.
Operation
The high pressure A/C liquid line is the refrigerant line that carries refrigerant from the A/C condenser to the A/C
accumulator. Air conditioning hoses are designed to control liquid and gas at high pressures and temperatures. The
hoses are usually flexible and equipped with special metal fittings at the ends to prevent leaks and provide a sure
seal and connection between components.
