WARNING: AVOID RADIATOR/CONDENSER FAN
BLADES WHEN WORKING IN THE RADIATOR
AREA. FAN IS CONTROLLED BY TEMPERATURE
AND CAN START ANY TIME IGNITION IS ON. PER-
SONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.
(1) Disconnect fan control switch wire connector.
(2) Using a suitable jumper wire, jump across ter-
minals in wire connector. (3) Connect a suitable continuity tester across fan
control switch terminals. (4) Start engine and set idle at 1300 rpm. The ra-
diator fan should run constantly. (5) Set the A/C controls to A/C and high blower.
(6) If the high pressure gauge reads below 1102
kPa (160 psi) there should be no continuity across
the switch terminals.
CAUTION: Do not allow engine to overheat when ra-
diator air flow is blocked.
(7) Block radiator air flow with a suitable cover to
increase the high side pressure to at least 1585 kPa
(230 psi). Electrical continuity should be detected
across the fan control switch terminals. (8) Remove cover from front of vehicle to allow
high side pressure to decrease. When pressure drops
below 1102 kPa (160 psi), continuity should cease. If fan control switch is defective, replace it.
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Refrigerant removal is not necessary
when removing the Condenser Fan Control Switch.
However, a small amount of refrigerant will vent
from the switch port. Review the refrigerant han-
dling section of Safety Precautions and Warnings in
the General Information section of this Group.
(1) Disconnect wire connector from condenser fan
control switch. (2) Loosen and quickly rotate the switch counter-
clockwise and separate from the high pressure line
switch port. To install, reverse the preceding operation.
DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE CUT-OUT SWITCH
DIAGNOSIS
The Differential Pressure Cut-Out (DPCO) Switch
(Fig. 3) monitors the liquid refrigerant pressure on
the liquid side of the system. The DPCO is located on
the expansion valve. The expansion valve is black in
color when a variable displacement compressor is
used. The DPCO turns off voltage to the compressor
clutch coil when liquid refrigerant pressure drops to
levels that could damage the compressor. The DPCO
is a sealed factory calibrated unit. It must be re-
placed if defective.
DPCO SWITCH DIAGNOSIS
The work area must not be below 10ÉC (50ÉF) to
test the compressor clutch circuit. (1) With gear selector in park or neutral, and park
brake set, start engine and allow to idle. (2) Raise hood and disconnect DPCO switch con-
nector boot. (3) Using a suitable jumper wire, jump across the
terminals inside wire connector boot. (4) If clutch does not engage, the wiring, fuse, re-
lay, ambient switch, or high pressure cut-off switch
can be defective. Refer to Group 8W, Wiring Dia-
grams. (5) If clutch engages, connect a suitable manifold
gauge set. Read low pressure gauge. At pressure 283
kPa (41 psi) and above, DPCO switch will complete
the clutch circuit. If the low pressure gauge reads be-
low 317 kPa (46 psi), the system is low on refrigerant
charge or empty due to a leak. Refer to Testing For
Refrigerant Leaks in the Refrigerant Service Proce-
dures section. (6) Install connector boot on switch and repeat step
number 3. If the clutch does not engage, replace the
DPCO switch.

FIN-SENSING CYCLING CLUTCH SWITCH
The Fin-Sensing Cycling Clutch Switch (FCCS)
(Fig. 17) is located in the heater-A/C unit housing
near the blower motor and placed in the evaporator
fins. The FCCS prevents evaporator condensate
freeze-up. This is done by cycling the compressor
clutch OFF when evaporator temperature drops be-
low freeze point. It cycles ON when the evaporator
temperature rises above freeze point. The FCCS uses
a thermistor probe in a capillary tube inserted be-
tween the evaporator fins in the heater-A/C unit
housing. If the compressor clutch does not cycle, and
all other clutch circuit components test correct, test
the switch. At temperatures above 32ÉC (90ÉF) the compressor
clutch may engage continuously and not cycle. This
is due to evaporator temperature above the freezing
point.
DIAGNOSIS
The work area and vehicle must be between 21ÉC
(70ÉF) and 32ÉC (90ÉF) when testing the Fin-sensing
Cycling Switch. (1) Disconnect the 3-wire connector from switch
lead located behind the glove box. (2) Test for voltage between pin #1 to pin #3 on
the wire harness connector (Fig. 18). If voltage is not
detected, refer to the Front Wheel Drive Car-Wiring
Diagrams Service Manual. If voltage is detected,
jump pin #1 to pin #3 using a jumper wire. Com-
pressor clutch should engage.
(3) If compressor clutch engages, test for continuity
from terminal pin #1 to pin #3 of the switch lead
connector. Continuity should be detected. If not, re-
place the Fin-sensing Cycling Clutch Switch.
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
(1) Remove the cover/housing from the heater-A/C
blower motor. Refer to Blower Motor removal and in-
stallation. Remove the cover only. Blower motor or
blower motor wheel removal is not necessary. (2) Disconnect the (three pin) wiring pigtail con-
nector from the clutch switch sensor harness (located
on the outside of the A/C-heater housing). Push the
wire harness grommet (attached to the A/C-heater

EXPANSION VALVE
DIAGNOSIS
BLACK EXPANSION VALVE TEST
Liquid CO
2is required to test the expansion
valve. It is available from most welding supply
facilities. CO
2is also available from companies
which service and sell fire extinguishers. Review Safety Precautions and Warnings before pro-
ceeding with this operation. The work area must be 21ÉC to 27ÉC (70ÉF to 85ÉF) when testing expansion
valve. To test the expansion valve: (1) Connect a charging station or manifold gauge set
to the refrigerant system service ports. (2) Verify the refrigerant charge level using the sight
glass method. (3) Disconnect the wire connector at the differential
pressure cut-off switch. Using a jumper wire, jump
across the terminals inside the connector boot (Fig. 24).
(4) Close all doors, windows and vents to the passen-
ger compartment. (5) Set heater-A/C control to A/C, full heat, FLOOR,
and high blower. (6) Start the engine and hold the idle speed (1000
rpm). After the engine has reached running tempera-
ture, allow the passenger compartment to heat up.
This will create the need for maximum refrigerant flow
into the evaporator. (7) Discharge (high pressure) gauge should read 965
to 1655 kPa (140 to 240 psi) when the refrigerant
charge is sufficient. If system cannot achieve proper
pressure, replace the expansion valve. If pressure is
correct, record reading and proceed with test.
WARNING: PROTECT SKIN AND EYES FROM CON-
TACTING CO
2PERSONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.
(8) If discharge pressure is within specified range,
freeze the expansion valve control head (Fig. 8) for
30 seconds. Use a super cold substance (liquid
CO
2). Do not spray R-12 Refrigerant on the expan-
sion valve for this test. Refer to Refrigerant
Recycling in the Refrigerant Service Procedures
section. If compressor discharge (high) pressure does
not drop by 15% or more than the pressure recorded in
step 7, replace the expansion valve. Allow the expan-
sion valve to thaw. The discharge pressure should

equipment before returning vehicle to use.
SILVER EXPANSION VALVE TEST
Expansion valve tests should be performed af-
ter compressor tests. Liquid CO
2is required to test the expansion
valve. It is available from most welding supply
facilities. CO
2is also available from companies
which service and sell fire extinguishers. Review Safety Precautions and Warnings in the
General Information section of this Group. The work
area and vehicle must be 21ÉC to 27ÉC (70ÉF to 85ÉF)
when testing expansion valve. To test the expansion
valve: (1) Connect a charging station or manifold gauge set
to the refrigerant system service ports. (2) Verify the refrigerant charge level using the sight
glass method. (3) Disconnect wire connector at low pressure cut-off
switch (Fig. 25). Using a jumper wire, jump terminals
inside wire connector boot.
(4) Close all doors, windows and vents to the passen-
ger compartment. (5) Set heater-A/C control to A/C, full heat, FLOOR,
and high blower. (6) Start the engine and hold the idle speed (1000
rpm). After the engine has reached running tempera-
ture, allow the passenger compartment to heat up.
This will create the need for maximum refrigerant flow
into the evaporator. (7) If the refrigerant charge is sufficient, discharge
(high pressure) gauge should read 965 to 1655 kPa (140
to 240 psi). Suction (low pressure) gauge should read
140 kPa to 207 kpa (20 psi to 30 psi). If system cannot achieve proper pressure readings, replace the
expansion valve. If pressure is correct, proceed with
test.
