following areas of possible leakage should also be checked to determine if engine oil leakage is
causing the concern.
a. Leakage at the engine valve cover gasket may allow oil to flow over the torque converter housing or seep down between the torque converter housing and cylinder block causing oil to
be present in or at the bottom of the torque converter housing.
b. Oil galley plug leaks will allow oil to flow down the rear face of the cylinder block to the bottom of the torque converter housing.
c. Leakage at the crankshaft rear oil seal will work back to the flexplate, and then into the torque converter housing.
d. Leakage at engine oil pressure sensor.
Leak Check Test 1. Remove the fluid level indicator and note the color of the fluid. Original factory fill fluid is dyed red to aid in determining if leakage is from the engine or transmission. Unless a considerable
amount of makeup fluid has been added or the fluid has been changed, the red color should
assist in pinpointing the leak.
2. Remove the torque converter housing cover. Clean off any fluid from the top and bottom of the torque converter housing, front of the case and rear face of the engine and oil pan. Clean the
torque converter area by washing with a suitable nonflammable solvent and blow dry with
compressed air.
3. Wash out the torque converter housing, the front of the flexplate and the converter drain plugs. The torque converter housing may be washed out using cleaning solvent and a squirt- type oil
can. Blow all washed areas dry with compressed air.
4. Start and run the engine until the transmission reaches its normal operating temperature. Observe the back of the cylinder block and top of the torque converter housing for evidence of
fluid leakage. Raise the vehicle on a hoist; refer to Section 100 - 02 and run the engine at fast
idle, then at engine idle, occasionally shifting to the Overdrive and Reverse ranges to increase
pressure within the transmission. Observe the front of the flexplate, back of the cylinder block
(in as far as possible), and inside the torque converter housing and front of the case. Run the
engine until fluid leakage is evident and the probable source of leakage can be determined.
Leak Check Test With Black Light Used With 12 Volt Master UV Diagnostic Inspection Kit
Oil soluble aniline or fluorescent dyes premixed at the rate of 2.5ml (1/2 teaspoon) of dye powder to
0.235L (1/2 pint) of transmission fluid have proved helpful in locating the source of fluid leakage. Such
dyes may be used to determine whether an engine oil or transmission fluid leak is present, or if the
fluid in the fluid cooler leaks into the engine cooling system. A black light must be used with the
fluorescent dye solution. Klj . 4 ba

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Climate Control System
WARNING: To avoid accidental deployment and possible injury, the air bag system
backup power supply must be depleted before repairing any climate control components. To
deplete the backup power supply, disconnect the battery ground cable and wait one minute.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
WARNING: Carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless and dangerous. If it is necessary to
operate the engine with the vehicle in a closed area such as a garage, always use an exhaust
collector to vent the exhaust gases outside the closed area.
WARNING: R- 134a is classified as a safe refrigerant, but misuse can make it dangerous.
The following precautions must be observed:
zAlways wear safety goggles when repairing an air conditioning system.
z Avoid contact with liquid refrigerant R- 134a. R-134a vaporizes at approximately - 25°C (-
13°F) under atmospheric pressure and it will freeze skin tissue.
z Never allow refrigerant R- 134a gas to escape in quantity in an occupied space. R- 134a is
non- toxic, but it will displace the oxygen needed to support life.
z Never use a torch in an atmosphere containing R- 134a gas. R-134a is non-toxic at all
normal conditions, but when it is exposed to high temperatures, such as a torch flame, it
decomposes. During decomposition it releases irritation and toxic gases (as described in
the MSDS sheet from the manufacturer). Decomposition products are hydrofluoric acid,
carbon dioxide and water.
z Do not allow any portion of the charged air conditioning system to become too hot. The
pressure in an air conditioning system rises as the temperature rises and temperatures
of approximately 85°C (185°F) can be dangerous.
z Allow the engine to cool sufficiently prior to carrying out maintenance or serious burns
and injury can occur.
CAUTION: To avoid damaging the vehicle or A/C components, the following precautions
must be observed:
zThe A/C refrigerant of all vehicles must be identified and analyzed prior to refrigerant
charging. Failure to due so can contaminate the shop bulk refrigerant and other vehicles.
z Do not add R- 12 refrigerant to an A/C system that requires the use of R- 134a refrigerant.
These two types of refrigerant must never be mixed. Doing so can damage the A/C
system.
z Charge the A/C system with the engine running only at the low- pressure side to prevent
refrigerant slugging from damaging the A/C compressor.
z Use only R- 134a refrigerant. Due to environmental concerns, when the air conditioning
system is drained, the refrigerant must be collected using refrigerant recovery/recycling
equipment. Federal law REQUIRES that R- 134a be recovered into appropriate recovery
equipment and the process be conducted by qualified technicians who have been
certified by an approved organization, such as MACS, ASI etc. Use of a recovery machine
dedicated to R- 134a is necessary to reduce the possibility of oil and refrigerant
incompatibility concerns. Refer to the instructions provided by the equipment manufacturer when removing refrigerant from or charging the air conditioning system. SECTION 412-

evaporator core, it absorbs heat from the passenger compartment airflow passing over the plate/fin
sections of the A/C evaporator core. This addition of heat causes the refrigerant to boil (convert to a
gas). The now cooler passenger compartment air can no longer support the same humidity level of the
warmer air and this excess moisture condenses on the exterior of the evaporator coils and fins and
drains outside the vehicle.
The suction accumulator/drier (19C836) is designed to remove moisture from the refrigerant and to
prevent any liquid refrigerant that may not have been vaporized in the A/C evaporator core from
reaching the A/C compressor. The A/C compressor is designed to pump refrigerant vapor only, as
liquid refrigerant will not compress and can damage the A/C compressor.
The refrigerant cycle is now repeated with the A/C compressor again increasing the pressure and
temperature of the refrigerant.
The A/C cycling switch (19E561) interrupts compressor operation before the external temperature of
the A/C evaporator core gets low enough to cause the condensed water vapor (excess humidity) to
turn to ice. It does this by monitoring low side line pressure. It is known that a refrigerant pressure of
approximately 210 kPa (30 psi) will yield an operating temperature of 0°C (32°F). The A/C cycling
switch controls system operation in an effort to maintain this temperature.
The high side line pressure is also monitored so that the A/C compressor operation can be interrupted
if system pressure becomes too high.
The A/C compressor pressure relief valve (19D644) will open and vent refrigerant to relieve unusually
high system pressure.
