filter the refrigerant. The orifice tube is used to meter the flow of
liquid refrigerant into the evaporator core.
HIGH PRESSURE CUT-OUT SWITCH
High pressure cut-out switch is located on compressor
discharge line, near compressor. On Dakota and Ram Pickup, it is
connected in series with the clutch cycling pressure switch and
control panel, between ground and PCM.
On Durango, it is connected in series with the electronic
cycling clutch switch, low pressure cut-out switch and control panel,
between ground and PCM. PCM controls compressor clutch operation.
On all models, when discharge pressure reaches 450-490 psi
(31.6-34.5 kg/cm
), high pressure cut-out switch interrupts A/C
request signal to PCM. PCM de-energizes compressor clutch relay,
disengaging compressor clutch. When discharge pressure drops to 270-
330 psi (23.2-19 kg/cm
) switch will close, thus restoring A/C request
signal to PCM.
HIGH PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
High pressure relief valve is located on compressor manifold.
Valve vents system pressure if pressure is greater than 500-600 psi
(35.1-42.2 kg/cm
). Valve will reset when pressure decreases to 400
psi (28.1 kg/cm).
LOW PRESSURE CUT-OUT SWITCH OPERATION
Durango
Low pressure cut-out switch is located on suction line near
firewall. It is connected in series with the electronic cycling clutch
switch, high pressure cut-out switch and control panel, between ground
and PCM. PCM controls compressor clutch operation.
When discharge pressure reaches 10 psi (.7 kg/cm
), switch
interrupts A/C request signal to PCM. PCM de-energizes compressor
clutch relay, disengaging compressor clutch. When discharge pressure
increases to 13-27 psi (.9-1.9 kg/cm
), switch will close thus
restoring A/C request signal to PCM.
ADJUSTMENTS
TEMPERATURE CONTROL CABLE ADJUSTMENT

DESCRIPTION & OPERATION
* PLEASE READ THIS FIRST *
WARNING: To avoid injury from accidental air bag deployment, read and
carefully follow all WARNINGS and SERVICE PRECAUTIONS.
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) is designed to work in
conjunction with seat belts. SRS helps to reduce the risk or severity
of serious injury during a front-end collision. Driver-side air bag is
stored in a module in steering wheel hub. All models are equipped with
passenger-side air bags. Passenger-side air bag is stored in the
instrument panel, above glove box. All air bags are covered by a pad
bearing the air bag SRS logo.
Air bag(s) inflate and deflate within 1/10th of a second of
impact sensor switches closing. This creates a cushion of air between
driver and steering wheel and passenger and instrument panel.
System consists of an AIR BAG warning light, clockspring,
driver-side and passenger-side air bag modules, Air Bag Control Module
(ACM), one impact sensor (located inside ACM) and an energy reserve
capacitor. The ACM monitors system, stores fault codes (messages) and
provides information to AIR BAG warning light and Data Link Connector
(DLC). When a malfunction occurs, a fault code is stored and AIR BAG
warning light is activated for more than 12 seconds.
When impact sensor registers sufficient deceleration force
during a front-end collision, an electrical charge is sent from ACM to
air bag module inflator via the clockspring. Inflator actuates and
produces nitrogen gas, which inflates air bag(s).
AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT
Whenever ignition switch is in RUN or START position, AIR BAG
warning light on instrument panel will illuminate for 6-8 seconds and
then turn off. This signifies ACM has checked the system and found
that it is functioning properly. If AIR BAG warning light illuminates
for 12 seconds or more, stays on all the time or does not come on, a
system malfunction exists and trouble code will be stored.
IMPACT SENSOR
All models have one impact sensor located inside ACM. Impact
sensor is an accelerometer that measures deceleration. During a front-
end collision, a signal is sent that completes an electrical circuit
to inflators. Inflators actuate and produce nitrogen gas, which
inflates each air bag. Impact sensor is calibrated for a specific
vehicle and react to severity and direction of vehicle impact.
AIR BAG MODULE
WARNING: DO NOT attempt to disassemble air bag modules. Air bag
modules are not serviceable.
Driver-Side
Air bag module is mounted on front face of steering wheel. A
