(4) Reinstall the cluster bezel to the instrument
panel(Refer to 23 - BODY/INSTRUMENT PANEL/
CLUSTER BEZEL - INSTALLATION).
(5) Reach under the instrument panel to reinstall
the a/c heater control vacuum harness retainer to the

A/C HIGH PRESSURE SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The a/c high pressure switch is located on the dis-
charge line near the compressor. The switch is
screwed onto a fitting that contains a Schrader-type
valve, which allows the switch to be serviced without
discharging the refrigerant system. The discharge
line fitting is equipped with an O-ring to seal the
switch connection.
OPERATION
The a/c high pressure switch is connected in series
electrically with the a/c low pressure switch between
ground and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
The switch contacts open and close causing the PCM
to turn the compressor clutch on and off. This pre-
vents compressor operation when the discharge line
pressure approaches high levels.
The a/c high pressure switch contacts are open
when the discharge line pressure rises above about3100 to 3375 kPa (450 to 490 psi). The switch con-
tacts will close when the discharge line pressure
drops to about 1860 to 2275 kPa (270 to 330 psi).
When checking refrigerant system pressures with a
manifold gauge set, keep in mind that the indicated
pressures will be about 172 kpa (25 psi) below the
actual switch pressure values due to the pressure
drop that occurs in the refrigerant system between
the switch and the high pressure service port.
The a/c high pressure switch is a factory-calibrated
unit. The switch cannot be adjusted or repaired and,
if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - A/C HIGH
PRESSURE SWITCH
Before performing diagnosis of the a/c high pres-
sure switch, verify that the refrigerant system has
the correct refrigerant charge. (Refer to 24 - HEAT-
ING & AIR CONDITIONING - DIAGNOSIS AND
TESTING)
For circuit descriptions and diagrams, (Refer to
Appropriate Wiring Information).
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Unplug the a/c high pressure switch wire har-
ness connector from the switch on the refrigerant
system fitting.
(3) On the four terminal high pressure switch,
check for continuity between terminals C and D. On
the two terminal switch, check for continuity
between both terminals of the a/c high pressure
switch. There should be continuity. If OK, test and
repair the A/C switch sense circuit as required. If not
OK, replace the faulty switch.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Unplug the wire harness connector from the a/c
high pressure switch, which is mounted to a fitting
on the discharge line between the compressor and
the condenser inlet.
(3) Unscrew the a/c high pressure switch from the
discharge line fitting.
(4) Remove the a/c high pressure switch from the
vehicle.
(5) Remove the O-ring seal from the discharge line
fitting and discard.
INSTALLATION
(1) Lubricate a new O-ring seal with clean refrig-
erant oil and install it on the discharge line fitting.
Use only the specified O-rings as they are made of a
special material for the R-134a system. Use only
refrigerant oil of the type recommended for the com-
pressor in the vehicle. (Refer to 24 - HEATING &

(2) Install and tighten the high pressure cut-off
switch on the discharge line fitting. The switch
should be hand-tightened onto the discharge line fit-
ting.
(3) Plug the wire harness connector into the high
pressure cut-off switch.
(4) Connect the battery negative cable.
A/C LOW PRESSURE SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The a/c low pressure switch is located on the top of
the accumulator. The switch is screwed onto an accu-
mulator fitting that contains a Schrader-type valve,
which allows the switch to be serviced without dis-
charging the refrigerant system. The accumulator fit-
ting is equipped with an O-ring to seal the switch
connection.
OPERATION
The a/c low pressure switch is connected in series
electrically with the a/c high pressure switch and the
a/c heater control, between ground and the Power-
train Control Module (PCM). The switch contacts
open and close causing the PCM to turn the compres-
sor clutch on and off. This regulates the refrigerant
system pressure and controls evaporator tempera-
ture. Controlling evaporator temperature prevents
condensate water on the evaporator fins from freez-
ing and obstructing air conditioning system air flow.
The a/c low pressure switch contacts are open
when the suction pressure is about 152-165 kPa
(22-24 psi) or lower. The switch contacts will close
when the suction pressure rises to about 255-296 kPa
(37-43 psi) or above. Lower ambient temperatures,
below about -1É C (30É F), will also cause the switch
contacts to open. This is due to the pressure/temper-
ature relationship of the refrigerant in the system.
The a/c low pressure switch is a factory-calibrated
unit. It cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if faulty
or damaged, it must be replaced.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - A/C LOW
PRESSURE SWITCH
Before performing diagnosis of the a/c low pressure
switch, be certain that the switch is properly
installed on the accumulator fitting. If the switch is
too loose it may not open the Schrader-type valve in
the accumulator fitting, which will prevent the
switch from correctly monitoring the refrigerant sys-
tem pressure. Also verify that the refrigerant system
has the correct refrigerant charge. (Refer to 24 -HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING - DIAGNOSIS
AND TESTING - A/C PERFORMANCE)
Remember that lower ambient temperatures, below
about -1É C (30É F), during cold weather will open the
switch contacts and prevent compressor operation
due to the pressure/temperature relationship of the
refrigerant. For circuit descriptions and diagrams,
(Refer to Appropriate Wiring Information).
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Unplug the a/c low pressure switch wire har-
ness connector from the switch on the accumulator
fitting.
(3) Install a jumper wire between the two cavities
of the a/c low pressure switch wire harness connector.
(4) Connect a manifold gauge set to the refrigerant
system service ports. (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR
CONDITIONING/PLUMBING - STANDARD PRO-
CEDURE - REFRIGERANT SYSTEM SERVICE
EQUIPMENT)
(5) Connect the battery negative cable.
(6) Place the a/c heater mode control switch knob
in any A/C position and start the engine.
(7) Check for continuity between the two terminals
of the low pressure cycling clutch switch. There
should be continuity with a suction pressure reading
of 296 kPa (43 psi) or above, and no continuity with a
suction pressure reading of 172 kPa (25 psi) or below.
If OK, test and repair the A/C switch sense circuit as
required. If not OK, replace the faulty switch.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Unplug the wire harness connector from the a/c
low pressure switch on the top of the accumulator
(Fig. 20).
(3) Unscrew the a/c low pressure switch from the
fitting on the top of the accumulator.
(4) Remove the O-ring seal from the accumulator
fitting and discard.
INSTALLATION
(1) Lubricate a new O-ring seal with clean refrig-
erant oil and install it on the accumulator fitting.
Use only the specified O-rings as they are made of a
special material for the R-134a system. Use only
refrigerant oil of the type recommended for the com-
pressor in the vehicle. (Refer to 24 - HEATING &
AIR CONDITIONING/PLUMBING/REFRIGERANT
OIL - DESCRIPTION)
(2) Install and tighten the a/c low pressure switch
on the accumulator fitting. The switch should be
hand-tightened onto the accumulator fitting.
(3) Plug the wire harness connector into the a/c
low pressure switch.

BLOWER MOTOR RELAY
DESCRIPTION
The blower motor relay is an International Stan-
dards Organization (ISO)-type relay. The relay is an
electromechanical device that switches battery cur-
rent from a fuse in the Power Distribution Center
(PDC) directly to the blower motor. The relay is ener-
gized when the relay coil is provided a voltage signal
by the ignition switch. This arrangement reduces the
amount of battery current that must flow through
the ignition switch.
OPERATION
The blower motor relay control circuit is protected
by a fuse located in the junction block. When the
relay is de-energized, the blower motor receives no
battery current.The blower motor relay is located in the PDC in
the engine compartment. Refer to the PDC label for
blower motor relay identification and location.
The blower motor relay cannot be repaired and, if
faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - BLOWER MOTOR
RELAY
RELAY TEST
The blower motor relay (Fig. 21) is located in the
Power Distribution Center (PDC). Remove the blower
motor relay from the PDC to perform the following
tests:
(1) A relay in the de-energized position should
have continuity between terminals 87A and 30, and
no continuity between terminals 87 and 30. If OK, go
to Step 2. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.
(2) Resistance between terminals 85 and 86 (elec-
tromagnet) should be 75 5 ohms. If OK, go to Step
3. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.
(3) Connect a battery to terminals 85 and 86.
There should now be continuity between terminals
30 and 87, and no continuity between terminals 87A
and 30. If OK, see Relay Circuit Test below. If not
OK, replace the faulty relay.

(1) The relay common feed terminal cavity (30) is
connected to fused battery feed directly from a fuse
in the Power Distribution Center (PDC), and should
be hot at all times. Check for battery voltage at the
PDC cavity for relay terminal 30. If OK, go to Step 2.
If not OK, repair the open circuit to the PDC fuse as
required.
(2) The relay normally closed terminal cavity (87A)
is not used for this application. Go to Step 3.
(3) The relay normally open terminal cavity (87) is
connected to the blower motor. When the relay is
energized, terminal 87 is connected to terminal 30
and provides full battery current to the blower motor
feed circuit. There should be continuity between the
PDC cavity for terminal 87 and the blower motor
relay output circuit cavity of the blower motor wire
harness connector at all times. If OK, go to Step 4. If
not OK, repair the open circuit to the blower motor
as required.
(4) The coil battery terminal cavity (86) is con-
nected to the ignition switch. When the ignition
switch is placed in the On position, fused ignition
switch output is directed from a fuse in the junction
block to the relay electromagnetic coil to energize the
relay. There should be battery voltage at the PDC
cavity for relay terminal 86 with the ignition switch
in the On position. If OK, go to Step 5. If not OK,
repair the open circuit to the junction block fuse as
required.
(5) The coil ground terminal cavity (85) is con-
nected to ground. This terminal supplies the ground
for the relay electromagnetic coil. There should be
continuity between the PDC cavity for relay terminal
85 and a good ground at all times. If not OK, repair
the open circuit as required.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove the cover from the Power Distribution
Center (PDC) (Fig. 22).
(3) Refer to the label on the PDC for blower motor
relay identification and location.
(4) Unplug the blower motor relay from the PDC
and remove it.
INSTALLATION
(1) Install the blower motor relay by aligning the
relay terminals with the cavities in the PDC and
pushing the relay firmly into place.
(2) Install the PDC cover.
(3) Connect the battery negative cable.
(4) Test the relay operation.
BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR
BLOCK
DESCRIPTION
The blower motor resistor is mounted to the bot-
tom of the HVAC housing, under the instrument
panel and just inboard of the blower motor. It can be
accessed without removing any other components.
OPERATION
The resistor has multiple resistor wires, each of
which will change the resistance in the blower motor
ground path to change the blower motor speed. The
blower motor switch directs the ground path through
the correct resistor wire to obtain the selected blower
motor speed.
With the blower motor switch in the lowest speed
position, the ground path for the motor is applied
through all of the resistor wires. Each higher speed
selected with the blower motor switch applies the
blower motor ground path through fewer of the resis-
tor wires, increasing the blower motor speed. When
the blower motor switch is in the highest speed posi-
tion, the blower motor resistor is bypassed and the
blower motor receives a direct path to ground.
The blower motor resistor cannot be repaired and,
if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.

DESCRIPTION - CIRCUIT ACTUATION TEST
MODE
The Circuit Actuation Test Mode checks for proper
operation of output circuits or devices the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) may not internally recognize.
The PCM attempts to activate these outputs and
allow an observer to verify proper operation. Most of
the tests provide an audible or visual indication of
device operation (click of relay contacts, fuel spray,
etc.). Except for intermittent conditions, if a device
functions properly during testing, assume the device,its associated wiring, and driver circuit work cor-
rectly. Connect the DRB scan tool to the data link
connector and access the Actuators screen.
DESCRIPTION - DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) indicates the
PCM has recognized an abnormal condition in the
system.
Remember that DTC's are the results of a sys-
tem or circuit failure, but do not directly iden-
tify the failed component or components.
NOTE: For a list of DTC's, refer to the charts in this
section.
BULB CHECK
Each time the ignition key is turned to the ON
position, the malfunction indicator (check engine)
lamp on the instrument panel should illuminate for
approximately 2 seconds then go out. This is done for
a bulb check.
OBTAINING DTC'S USING DRB SCAN TOOL
(1) Connect the DRB scan tool to the data link
(diagnostic) connector. This connector is located in
the passenger compartment; at the lower edge of
instrument panel; near the steering column.
(2) Turn the ignition switch on and access the
ªRead Faultº screen.
(3) Record all the DTC's and ªfreeze frameº infor-
mation shown on the DRB scan tool.
(4) To erase DTC's, use the ªErase Trouble Codeº
data screen on the DRB scan tool.Do not erase any
DTC's until problems have been investigated
and repairs have been performed.

CCV HOSE
DESCRIPTION - 8.0L
The 8.0L V-10 engine is equipped with a Crankcase
Ventilation (CCV) system. The CCV system performs
the same function as a conventional PCV system, but
does not use a vacuum controlled valve (PCV valve).
A molded vacuum tube connects manifold vacuum
to the top of the right cylinder head (valve) cover.
The vacuum tube connects to a fixed orifice fitting
(Fig. 1) of a calibrated size 2.6 mm (0.10 inches).
OPERATION - 8.0L
A molded vacuum tube connects manifold vacuum to
the top of the right cylinder head (valve) cover. The vac-
uum tube connects to a fixed orifice fitting (Fig. 1) of a
calibrated size 2.6 mm (0.10 inches). The fitting meters
the amount of crankcase vapors drawn out of the
engine.The fixed orifice fitting is grey in color.A
similar fitting (but does not contain a fixed orifice) is
used on the left cylinder head (valve) cover. This fitting
is black in color. Do not interchange these two fittings.
When the engine is operating, fresh air enters the
engine and mixes with crankcase vapors. Manifold
vacuum draws the vapor/air mixture through the
fixed orifice and into the intake manifold. The vapors
are then consumed during engine combustion.
EVAP/PURGE SOLENOID
DESCRIPTION
All 5.9L/8.0L gasoline powered engines use a duty
cycle EVAP canister purge solenoid. The solenoid reg-ulates the rate of vapor flow from the EVAP canister
to the throttle body.
OPERATION
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) operates
the solenoid.
During the cold start warm-up period and the hot
start time delay, the PCM does not energize the sole-
noid. When de-energized, no vapors are purged. The
PCM de-energizes the solenoid during open loop oper-
ation.
The engine enters closed loop operation after it
reaches a specified temperature and the time delay
ends. During closed loop operation, the PCM ener-
gizes and de-energizes the solenoid 5 or 10 times per
second, depending upon operating conditions. The
PCM varies the vapor flow rate by changing solenoid
pulse width. Pulse width is the amount of time the
solenoid energizes. The PCM adjusts solenoid pulse
width based on engine operating condition.
REMOVAL
The duty cycle solenoid is attached to a bracket
mounted to the right inner fender (Fig. 2).
(1) Disconnect electrical wiring connector at sole-
noid (Fig. 2).
(2) Disconnect vacuum harness at solenoid.
(3) Remove solenoid from support bracket.

FUEL FILLER CAP
DESCRIPTION
The plastic fuel tank filler tube cap is threaded
onto the end of the fuel fill tube. Certain models are
equipped with a 1/4 turn cap.
OPERATION
The loss of any fuel or vapor out of fuel filler tube
is prevented by the use of a pressure-vacuum fuel fill
cap. Relief valves inside the cap will release fuel tank
pressure at predetermined pressures. Fuel tank vac-
uum will also be released at predetermined values.
This cap must be replaced by a similar unit if
replacement is necessary. This is in order for the sys-
tem to remain effective.
CAUTION: Remove fill cap before servicing any fuel
system component to relieve tank pressure. If
equipped with a Leak Detection Pump (LDP), the
cap must be tightened securely. If cap is left loose,
a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) may be set.
REMOVAL/INSTALLATION
If replacement of the 1/4 turn fuel tank filler tube
cap is necessary, it must be replaced with an identi-
cal cap to be sure of correct system operation.
CAUTION: Remove the fuel tank filler tube cap to
relieve fuel tank pressure. The cap must be
removed prior to disconnecting any fuel system
component or before draining the fuel tank.
LEAK DETECTION PUMP
DESCRIPTION
The Leak Detection Pump (LDP) is used only with
certain emission packages.
The LDP is a device used to detect a leak in the
evaporative system.
The pump contains a 3 port solenoid, a pump that
contains a switch, a spring loaded canister vent valve
seal, 2 check valves and a spring/diaphragm.
OPERATION
Immediately after a cold start, engine temperature
between 40ÉF and 86ÉF, the 3 port solenoid is briefly
energized. This initializes the pump by drawing airinto the pump cavity and also closes the vent seal.
During non-test test conditions, the vent seal is held
open by the pump diaphragm assembly which pushes
it open at the full travel position. The vent seal will
remain closed while the pump is cycling. This is due
to the operation of the 3 port solenoid which prevents
the diaphragm assembly from reaching full travel.
After the brief initialization period, the solenoid is
de-energized, allowing atmospheric pressure to enter
the pump cavity. This permits the spring to drive the
diaphragm which forces air out of the pump cavity
and into the vent system. When the solenoid is ener-
gized and de-energized, the cycle is repeated creating
flow in typical diaphragm pump fashion. The pump
is controlled in 2 modes:
PUMP MODE:The pump is cycled at a fixed rate
to achieve a rapid pressure build in order to shorten
the overall test time.
TEST MODE:The solenoid is energized with a
fixed duration pulse. Subsequent fixed pulses occur
when the diaphragm reaches the switch closure
point.
The spring in the pump is set so that the system
will achieve an equalized pressure of about 7.5 inches
of water.
When the pump starts, the cycle rate is quite high.
As the system becomes pressurized pump rate drops.
If there is no leak the pump will quit. If there is a
leak, the test is terminated at the end of the test
mode.
