DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
SYSTEM COMPONENTS
–FUNCTIONAL
Compressor
All compressors are belt–driven from the engine crank-
shaft through the compressor clutch pulley. The com-
pressor pulley rotates without driving the compressor
shaft until on electromagnetic clutch coils energized.
When voltage is applied to energize the clutch coil, the
clutch plate and hub assembly are drawn toward the
pulley. The magnetic force locks the clutch plate and
pulley together as one unit to drive the compressor
shaft.
Condenser Core
The condenser assembly in front of the radiator consists
of coils which carry the refrigerant and cooling fins that
provide the rapid transfer of heat. The air passing
through the condenser cools the high–pressure refriger-
ant vapor and cause it to condense into a liquid.
Expansion Valve
The expansion valve is located on the passenger
compartment side of the dash panel. The expansion
valve can fail in three different positions: open, closed,
or restricted. An expansion valve that fails in the open
position will result in a noisy A/C compressor or no cool-
ing. The cause can be a broken spring, a broken ball, or
excessive moisture in the A/C system. If the spring or
the ball is found to be detective, replace the expansion
valve. If excessive moisture is found in the A/C system,
recycle the refrigerant. An expansion valve that fails in
the closed position will result in low suction pressure and
no cooling. This may be caused by a failed power done
or excessive moisture in the A/C system. If the power
dome on the expansion valve is found to be defective,
replace the expansion valve. If excessive moisture is
found in the A/C system, recycle the refrigerant.
A restricted expansion valve will result in low suction
pressure and no cooling. This may be caused by debrisin the refrigerant system. If debris is believed to be
cause, recycle the refrigerant, replace the expansion
valve, and replace the receiver/dryer.
Evaporator Core
The evaporator is device which cools and dehumidifies
the air before it enters the vehicle. High–pressure liquid
refrigerant flows through the expansion tube (orifice)
and becomes a low–pressure gas in the evaporator. The
heat in the air passing through the evaporator core is
transferred to the cooler surface of the core, which cools
the air. As the process of heat transfer from the air to the
evaporator core surface is taking place, any moisture
(humidity) in the air condenses on the outside surface of
the evaporator core and is drained off as water.
Receiver–Dryer
The sealed receiver–dryer assembly is connected to the
evaporator outlet pipe. It acts as a refrigerant storing
container, receiving liquid and some vapor and refriger-
ant oil from the evaporator.
At the bottom the receiver–dryer is the desiccant, which
acts as a drying agent for the moisture that may have
entered the system. The receiver–dryer is serviceable
only as an assembly.
Dual Cut Switch
The dual cut switch controls compressor operation when
the cycling refrigerant pressure is dropped or surged.
Evaporator Thermistor
A semiconductor which resistance is noticeably changed
as the change of temperature. When the refrigerant tem-
perature of the evaporator drops to 0
C (32
F) and be-
low, the evaporator cores get stuck with frost or ice,
reducing the airflow, lowering the cooling capacity. The
thermistor is a sensor which is used to prevent from frost-
ing or icing.
The thermistor is installed on the evaporator.

DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION AND PROCEDURES
GENERAL DIAGNOSIS
TESTING THE REFRIGERANT
SYSTEM
If you suspect a problem in the refrigerant system,
check for the following conditions:
1. Check the outer surfaces of the radiator and the con-
denser cores to be sure that the airflow is not blocked
by dirt, leaves, or other foreign material. Check be-
tween the condenser and the radiator, as well as all
outer surfaces.
2. Check for restrictions or kinks in the condenser core,
the hoses, and the tubes.
3. Check the operation of the blower fan.
4. Check all the air ducts for leaks or restrictions. A low
airflow rate may indicate a restricted evaporator core.
5. Check for slippage of the compressor clutch.
6. Check the drive belt tension.
INSUFFICIENT COOLING “QUICK
CHECK” PROCEDURE
Perform the following “hand-feel” procedure to get a
quick idea of whether the air conditioning (A/C) system
has the proper charge of Refrigerant-134a.
1. Warm up the engine. Run the engine at idle.
2. Open the hood and all the doors.
3. Turn the A/C switch ON.
4. Set the temperature control to the full cold position.
5. Set the blower speed switch on 4.
6.“Hand-feel” the temperature of the evaporator outlet
pipe. The pipe should be cold.
7. Check for other problems. Refer to “Testing the Re-
frigerant System” in this section.
8. Leak check the system. Refer to “Leak Testing the
Refrigerant System” in this section. If you find a leak,
discharge the system and repair the leak as required.
After completing the repair, evacuate and charge the
system.
9. If there is no leak, refer to “Insufficient Cooling Diag-
nosis” in this section.

LEAK TESTING THE REFRIGERANT
SYSTEM
Test for leaks whenever you suspect a refrigerant leak in
the system. You should also test for leaks whenever you
perform a service operation which results in disturbing
the lines or the connections. Leaks are commonly found
at the refrigerant fittings or at the connections. Leaks are
commonly caused by the following problems:
Improper torque.
Damaged O-ring seals.
Dirt or lint on the O-ring seals.
Liquid Leak Detectors
Use a liquid leak detector solution on locations such as
fittings. Apply the solution to the area in question with
the swab that is supplied with the solution. Look for
bubbles to appear. This will indicate the existence and
location of any leak.
For areas where this is not practical, such as sections of
the evaporator and the condenser, an electronic leak de-
tector is more useful.
Electronic Leak Detectors
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for calibration,
operation, and maintenance of an electronic leak detec-
tor. Battery condition is especially important to the accu-
racy of a portable model. Set the detector to R-134a
before beginning the test.
Important: Electronic leak detectors are sensitive to
windshield washing solutions, solvents and cleaners,
and certain vehicle adhesives.
Surfaces must be clean to prevent false readings. Make
sure that all surfaces are dry to prevent damage to the
detector.
General Testing Instructions
Follow the entire path of the refrigerant system.
Completely circle each joint at 25 to 50 mm (1 to 2
inches) per second.
Hold the probe tip within 6 mm (1/4 inch) of the sur-
face.
Do not block the air intake.The audible tone changes from 1 to 2 clicks per second
into a solid alarm if there is a leak. Adjust the balance
control to maintain 1 to 2 clicks per second.
Test all of the following areas, even after one leak has
been confirmed:
Evaporator inlet and outlet.
Receiver-drier inlet and outlet.
Condenser inlet and outlet.
Brazed and welded areas.
Damaged areas.
Hose couplings.
Compressor rear head.
All fittings and joints.
Testing Service Ports/Access Valves
The sealing cap is the primary seal for the service ports.
This cap contains a special leak-free O-ring. Make sure
that this cap is not missing or loose. Always use the cor-
rect cap.
Testing the Evaporator Core
Leaks in the evaporator core are difficult to find. Test the
evaporator core using the following procedure:
1. Run the blower fan at speed setting 4 for at least
15 minutes.
2. Turn the blower to the OFF position.
3. Wait for 10 minutes.
4. Remove the blower motor resistor. Refer to “Blower
Motor Resistor” in this section.
5. Insert the leak detector probe as close as possible to
the evaporator core. The detector will indicate a leak
with a solid alarm.
6. Use a flashlight to search for refrigerant oil in the core
surface.
Testing the Compressor Shaft Seal
1. Blow shop air behind and in front of the compressor
clutch/pulley for at least 15 seconds.
2. Wait 1 to 2 minutes.
3. Probe the area in front of the pulley. If the detector
emits a solid alarm, there is a leak.
