CAUTION: The refrigerant oil used in a R-134a A/C
system is unique. Use only oils which were
designed to work with R-134a refrigerant. The oil
designated for this vehicle is ND8 PAG (polyalka-
lene glycol).
SERVICING REFRIGERANT OIL LEVEL
(1) Using a refrigerant recovery machine, remove
refrigerant from the A/C system.
(2) Remove refrigerant lines from A/C compressor.
(3) Remove compressor from vehicle.
(4) From suction port on top of compressor, drain
refrigerant oil from compressor.
(5) Add system capacity minus the capacity of
components that have not been replaced through suc-
tion port on compressor. Refer to the Refrigerant Oil
Capacity Chart.
(6) Install compressor, connect refrigerant lines,
evacuate, and charge refrigerant system.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
ACTUATOR CALIBRATION/DIAGNOSTICS AND
COOLDOWN TEST
GENERAL INFORMATION
If the HVAC control module is replaced, the Cali-
bration Diagnostic and Cooldown tests will need to
be performed. Once this group of tests have success-
fully passed, they can be performed individually. The
engine must be running during the test to provide
hot coolant for the heater, A/C compressor operation
and to assure that the actuators are calibrated cor-
rectly. The HVAC control module is capable of trou-
bleshooting the system in approximately 120 seconds.
If a condition is detected, an error code is displayed.
The error code cannot be erased until the condition is
repaired and the diagnostic test is performed. Check
wire before replacing components, refer to Group 8W,
Wiring Diagrams.CAUTION: Do not remove the actuators from the
Heater-A/C unit assembly with power applied.
Removal should only be done with the Ignition OFF.
The actuators have no mechanical stops to limit the
travel. If the actuator rotates and is not connected
to the unit assembly, it will become out of calibra-
tion.
ACTUATOR CALIBRATION
Mode, Blend and Zone (if equipped) door calibra-
tion compensates for mechanical variations in the
actuators, HVAC control module and its linkages. In-
vehicle calibration can be entered from the control's
front panel. If the REAR WIPE and INTERMIT-
TENT LED's flash simultaneously when Ignition is
cycled ON, the actuators have not been calibrated or
during the previous calibration a failure occurred
(Fig. 6) and (Fig. 7). Diagnostics will always occur
during Calibration Diagnostic and Cooldown test.

DIAGNOSTICS
During the Actuator calibration, diagnostics are
performed on the actuators and evaporator tempera-
ture Fin Sensor. Once diagnostics are completed the
REAR WIPER and INTERMITTENT LED's will flash
to indicate either a successful calibration or the
appropriate fail code(s). At this time manual testing
of the Blend, Mode and Driver (if equipped) potenti-
ometers can be performed. If a failure is detected
during Diagnostics a fault will be set in the control.
When Ignition is cycled OFF and then ON or Diag-
nostics is aborted, the REAR WIPER and INTER-
MITTENT LED's will flash simultaneously showing
that a failure has occurred. The control will not indi-
cate the fail code, but only that a failure had
occurred during the last diagnostics test. The only
way to clear the failure codes is repeat the Calibra-
tion Diagnostic and Cooldown test, after all repairs
are completed.
COOLDOWN TEST
This test has been designed for performance test-
ing of the A/C system at the manufacturing facility. If
the HVAC control module is replaced, the Cooldown
test will occur during Calibration test. Cooldown will
not occur on Heater Only units. During the Cooldown
test the control will monitor the temperature of the
Fin Sensor. The A/C system must be able to bring the
evaporator temperature down a predetermined mini-
mum amount in less than 2 minutes.
CALIBRATION/COOLDOWN LED DISPLAY
CODES
See table for definition of flashing LED's. If no
problems are found, the control functions normally.
CALIBRATION/DIAGNOSTICS TEST ENTRY
TO INITIATE TESTS:
²Set Blower motor ON HIGH
²Set Mode position to Panel
²Open all A/C outlets
²Set Temperature to Cold (Both slide pots if
equipped)
²Depress WASH and REAR WIPER button simul-
taneously for 5 Seconds (Until all LED's light)
RESULTS:
²All LED's will turn on for 5 Seconds
²Calibration Test is running when REAR WIPER
and INTERMITTENT are alternately flashing.
Cooldown test is running if A/C and RECIRC are
alternately flashing.
²Acceptable results is REAR WIPER LED is the
only LED flashing. Push Rear Wiper to exit.
²After all tests have passed, Calibration Diagnos-
tics and Cooldown can be run separately.

eliminate all moisture in system. When the suction
gauge reads -88 kPa (- 26 in. Hg) vacuum or greater
for 45 minutes, close all valves and turn off vacuum
pump. If the system fails to reach specified vacuum,
the refrigerant system likely has a leak that must be
corrected. If the refrigerant system maintains speci-
fied vacuum for at least 30 minutes, start the vac-
uum pump, open the suction and discharge valves.
Then allow the system to evacuate an additional 10
minutes.
(3) Close all valves. Turn off and disconnect the
vacuum pump.
(4) The refrigerant system is prepared to be
charged with refrigerant.
THERMOCOUPLE PROBE
To diagnose the A/C system, a temperature probe is
required to measure liquid line temperature. The
clamp-on type K probe shown in this manual is avail-
able through the Chrysler Professional Service
Equipment (PSE) program. This probe is compatible
with temperature-measuring instruments that accept
Type K Thermocouples and have a miniature connec-
tor input. Other temperature probes are available
through aftermarket sources. All references in this
manual will reflect the use of the probe made avail-
able through the Professional Service Equipment pro-
gram.
In order to use the temperature probe, a digital
thermometer will be required. If a digital thermome-
ter is not available, an adapter is available through
the Professional Service Equipment program. It can
convert any standard digital multimeter into a ther-
mometer. This adapter is designed to accept any
standard K-type thermocouple.
If a digital multimeter is not available, it to can be
ordered through Professional Service Equipment pro-
gram.
STICKING HVAC CONTROL MODULE PUSH
BUTTONS
To service HVAC control module push buttons that
are sticking, spray between the buttons with Mopart
MP-50. The MP-50 is a all purpose lubricant for
mechanical and electrical uses. After spraying around
the push buttons wipe any excess off the radio bezel
and HVAC control module push buttons. Operate the
buttons to ensure that they are operating freely.
SYSTEM LEAK CHECKING
WARNING: R-134a SERVICE EQUIPMENT OR VEHI-
CLE A/C SYSTEM SHOULD NOT BE PRESSURE
TESTED OR LEAK TESTED WITH COMPRESSED
AIR. SOME MIXTURES OF AIR/R-134a HAVE BEEN
SHOWN TO BE COMBUSTIBLE AT ELEVATEDPRESSURES. THESE MIXTURES ARE POTENTIALLY
DANGEROUS AND MAY RESULT IN FIRE OR
EXPLOSION CAUSING INJURY OR PROPERTY
DAMAGE.
If the A/C system is not cooling properly, determine
if the refrigerant system is fully charged with
R-134a. This is accomplished by performing a system
Charge Level-Check or Fill. If while performing this
test A/C liquid line pressure is less than 207 kPa (30
psi) proceed to Empty Refrigerant System Leak Test.
If liquid line pressure is greater than 207 kPa (30
psi) proceed to low refrigerant level leak test. If the
refrigerant system is empty or low in refrigerant
charge, a leak at any line fitting or component seal is
likely. A review of the fittings, lines and components
for oily residue is an indication of the leak location.
To detect a leak in the refrigerant system, perform
one of the following procedures as indicated by the
symptoms.
WARNING: AVOID BREATHING A/C REFRIGERANT
AND LUBRICANT VAPOR OR MIST. EXPOSURE MAY
IRRITATE EYES, NOSE AND THROAT. USE ONLY
APPROVED SERVICE EQUIPMENT MEETING SAE
REQUIREMENTS TO DISCHARGE R-134a SYSTEM.
IF ACCIDENTAL SYSTEM DISCHARGE OCCURS,
VENTILATE WORK AREA BEFORE RESUMING SER-
VICE.
EMPTY REFRIGERANT SYSTEM LEAK TEST
(1) Evacuate the refrigerant system to the lowest
degree of vacuum possible (about 28 in Hg.). Deter-
mine if the system holds a vacuum for 15 minutes. If
vacuum is held, a leak is probably not present. If sys-
tem will not maintain vacuum level, proceed with
this procedure.
(2) Prepare a .284 Kg. (10 oz.) refrigerant charge
to be injected into the system.
(3) Connect and dispense .284 Kg. (10 oz.) of
refrigerant into the evacuated refrigerant system.
(4) Proceed to step two of Low Refrigerant Level
Leak Test.
LOW REFRIGERANT LEVEL LEAK TEST
(1) Determine if there is any (R-134a) refrigerant
in the system. Use the scan tool (DRB) under the
menu Systems Sensors±A/C Pressure test or pressure
gauge liquid line temperature partial charge check.
See system charge level check or fill for procedure.
(2) Position the vehicle in a wind free work area.
This will aid in detecting small leaks.
(3) Bring the refrigerant system up to operating
temperature and pressure. This is done by allowing
the engine to run for five minutes with the system
set to the following:
