AIR CONDITIONING (A/C) CONTROLSÐPCM
INPUTS
The A/C control system information applies to fac-
tory installed air conditioning units.
A/C REQUEST SIGNAL:When either the A/C or
Defrost mode has been selected and the A/C low and
high±pressure switches are closed, an input signal is
sent to the powertrain control module (PCM). The
PCM uses this input to cycle the A/C compressor
through the A/C relay.
If the A/C low or high±pressure switch opens, the
PCM will not receive an A/C request signal. The
PCM will then remove the ground from the A/C relay.
This will deactivate the A/C compressor clutch. Also,
if the engine coolant reaches a temperature outside
normal of its normal range, or it overheats, the PCM
will deactivate the A/C clutch.
BRAKE SWITCHÐPCM INPUT
When the brake light switch is activated, the PCM
receives an input indicating that the brakes are
being applied. After receiving this input, the PCM is
used to control the speed control system. There is a
Primary and a Secondary brake switch. The Second-
ary brake switch is closed until the brake pedal is
pressed.
DATA LINK CONNECTORÐPCM INPUT AND
OUTPUT
The 16±way data link connector (diagnostic scan
tool connector) links the Diagnostic Readout Box(DRB) scan tool with the PCM. The data link connec-
tor is located under the instrument panel near the
bottom of steering column (Fig. 7).
VEHICLE SPEED SENSORÐPCM INPUT
The vehicle speed sensor (Fig. 8) is located in the
extension housing of the transmission. The sensor
input is used by the PCM to determine vehicle speed
and distance traveled.

POWER STEERING PUMP FLOW AND
PRESSURE TEST PROCEDURE
(1) Check power steering pump drive belt tension
and adjust as necessary.
(2) Disconnect power steering fluid pressure hose,
at power steering pump. Use a container for dripping
fluid.
(3) Connect Pressure Gauge, Special Tool from kit
6815 to both hoses using adapter fittings. Connect
spare pressure hose, to power steering pump pres-
sure hose fitting.
(4) Completely open valve on Special Tool 6815.
(5) Start engine and let idle long enough to circu-
late power steering fluid through flow/pressure test
and get air out of fluid. Then shut off engine.
(6) Check power steering fluid level, and add fluid
as necessary. Start engine again and let idle.
(7) Pressure gauge should read below 862 kPa
(125 psi), if above, inspect the hoses for restrictions
and repair as necessary. The initial pressure reading
should be in the range of 345-552 kPa (50-80 psi).
The flow meter should read between 1.3 and 1.9
GPM
CAUTION: The following test procedure involves
testing power steering pump maximum pressure
output and flow control valve operation. Do not
leave valve closed for more than 5 seconds as the
pump could be damaged.
(8) Close valve fully three times and record high-
est pressure indicated each time.All three read-
ings must be within specifications and within
345 kPa (50 psi) of each other.
NOTE: Power steering pump maximum relief pres-
sure is 9653 to 10342 kPa (1400 to 1500 psi.).
²If power steering pump pressures are within the
specifications but not within 345 kPa (50 psi) of each
other, then replace power steering pump.
²If pressures are within 345 kPa (50 psi) of each
other but below specifications, then replace power
steering pump.
CAUTION: Do not force the pump to operate
against the stops for more than 5 seconds at a time
because, pump damage will result.
(9) Open test valve. Turn steering wheel to the
extreme left and right positions until against the
stops, recording the highest indicated pressure at
each position. Compare pressure gauge readings to
power steering pump specifications. If highest output
pressures are not the same against either stop, the
steering gear is leaking internally and must be
replaced.
SERVICE PROCEDURES
POWER STEERING SYSTEM FLUID LEVEL CHECK
WARNING: FLUID LEVEL SHOULD BE CHECKED
WITH ENGINE OFF TO PREVENT INJURY FROM
MOVING PARTS. DO NOT USE AUTOMATIC TRANS-
MISSION FLUID IN THE POWER STEERING SYS-
TEM. DO NOT OVERFILL THE POWER STEERING

(1) Fill the pump fluid reservoir to the proper level
and let the fluid settle for at least two (2) minutes.
(2) Start the engine and let run for a few seconds.
Then turn the engine off.
(3) Add fluid if necessary. Repeat the above proce-
dure until the fluid level remains constant after run-
ning the engine.

slowly from lock to lock.
(8) Stop the engine. Check the fluid level and refill
as required.
(9) If the fluid is extremely foamy, allow the vehi-
cle to stand a few minutes and repeat the above pro-
cedure.
