transducer.5. See A/C pressure transducer in this group. Test
the transducer and replace, if required.
6. Faulty A/C-heater control,
totally integrated power
module (TIPM), gateway
module or PCM/ECM.6. Refer to the appropriate Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures for testing of the A/C-heater control,
TIPM, gateway module or PCM/ECM. Test the
module and replace, if required.

TUBE-A/C ORIFICE
DESCRIPTION
The fixed A/C orifice tube is installed in the A/C liquid
line and provides a restriction in the liquid refrigerant
line between the A/C condenser and the A/C evapora-
tor. This restriction established the pressure differential
between the high and low-pressure sides of the A/C
system.
The A/C orifice tube includes a diffuser screen (1),
O-ring seals (2) to seal it to the inner wall of the A/C
liquid line, an inlet filter screen (3) and the fixed orifice
(4).
OPERATION
The fixed A/C orifice tube is used to meter the flow of liquid refrigerant into the A/C evaporator. The high-pressure
liquid refrigerant from the A/C condenser expands into a low-pressure liquid as it passes through the metering orifice
and diffuser screen of the A/C orifice tube.
The A/C orifice tube is not serviceable and cannot be repaired and, if faulty or plugged, the A/C liquid line must be
replaced (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/PLUMBING/LINE-A/C LIQUID - DESCRIPTION).
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
A/C ORIFICE TUBE
WARNING: The A/C liquid line between the A/C condenser and the A/C orifice tube can become hot enough
to burn the skin. Use extreme caution when performing the following test toprevent possible personal
injury.
NOTE: The A/C orifice tube can be checked for proper operation using the following procedure. However,
the A/C orifice tube is only serviced as a part of the A/C liquid line. If the results of this test indicate that the
A/C orifice tube is obstructed or missing, the A/C liquid line must be replaced.
1. Confirm that the refrigerant system is properly charged (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING - DIAG-
NOSIS AND TESTING - A/C PERFORMANCE).
2. Start the engine. Turn on the A/Csystem and confirm that the compressor clutch is engaged.
3. Allow the A/C system to operate for five minutes.
4. Lightly and cautiously touch the A/C liquid line near the condenser outlet at the front of the engine compartment.
TheA/Cliquidlineshouldbehottothetouch.
5. Touch the A/C liquid line near the evaporator inlet at the rear of the engine compartment. The A/C liquid line
should be cold to the touch.
6. If there is a distinct temperature differential between the two ends of the A/C liquid line, the A/C orifice tube is in
good condition. If there is little or no detectable temperature differential between the two ends of the A/C liquid
line, the A/C orifice tube is obstructed or missing and the A/C liquid line must be replaced (Refer to 24 - HEAT-
ING & AIR CONDITIONING/PLUMBING/LINE-A/C LIQUID - REMOVAL).
