Disconnect the 5P connector from the air mix con-
trol motor.
Connect battery power to the No. 1 terminal of the
air mix control motor, and ground the No. 5 termi,
nal; the air mix control motor should run, and stop
at MAX HOT. lf it doesn't, reverse the connections;
the air mix control motor should run, and stop at
MAX COOL.
lf the air mix control motor does not run, remove
it, then check the air mix control linkage and
doors for smooth movement.
lf they move smoothly, replace the air mix con-
trol motor.

Measure the resistance between the No.2 and No.3
terminals. lt should be approximately 4.8 to 7.2 kO.
Measure the resistance between the No. 2 and No. 4
terminals. lt should be approximately 3.84 to 5.76 kO
at MAX HOT and approximately 0.96 to 1.44 kO at
MAX COOL.

This car uses HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant which does not contain chlorofluorocarbons Pay attention to the following
service items:
. Do not mix refrigerants CFC-12 (R-12) and HFC-134a (R-134a)' They are not compatible'
. Useonlythe recommended polyalkyieneglycol (PAG) refrigerant oil designedforthe R-134a compressor (SANDEN: SP-
10; DENSO: ND_OIL8). Intermixing ihe re-commended (pAG) refrigerant oil with any other refrigerant oil will result in
compressor failure.
. All A,,ic system parts {compressor, discharge line, suction line, evaporator, condenser, receiver/dryer, expansion valve'
O-rings for joints) have to be proper for refrigerant R- 134a Do not confuse with R-l2 parts'
. Use a halogen gas leak detector designed for refrigerant R-134a
. R-12 and R-134a refrigerant servacing equipment are not interchangeable. Use only a recovery/recycling/charging station
that is u,L.-listed and is certified to meet the requirements of sAE J2210 to service R-134a air conditioning systems'
. Always recover the refrigerant R-134a with an approved recovery/recycling/charging station before disconnecting any
A,/C fitting.

A/C System Service
Performance Test
The performance test will help determine if the air con-
ditioner system is operating within specifications.
Use only service equipment that is U.L.-listed and is cer-
tified to meet the reouirements of SAE J2210 to remove
HFC-134a (R-134a) from the air conditioner system.
CAUTION: Exposure to air conditionor rofrigerant and
lubricant vapor or mist can irrilalo €yes, nose and
throat. Avoid breathing tho air conditioner rstrigerrnt
and lubricant vapor or mist,
lf accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work
area before resuming service.
R-134a service equipment or vehicle air conditioner sys-
tems should not be pressure tested or leak tested with
compressed air.
@ some mixtur$ of air and R-134a have been
shown lo b9 combustible rt glgvatad pr€ssur63 and can
resull in tire 01 oxplosion causing inlury ot property
damage. Never uao compre33ed air to pressure t99t R-
134a ssrvico 6quipmsnt or vohicla air conditioner sys-
tems.
Additional health and safety information may be obtained
from the refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.
'1. Connect a R-134a refrigerant recover/recycling/
charging station to the vehicle, as shown, following
the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
2. lnsert a thermometer in the center vent outlet.
Determine the relative humidity and air tempera-
ture,
Test conditions:
. Avoid direct sunlight.
. Open hood.
. Open front doors.
. Set the temDerature control lever or dial to MAX,
COOL, the mode control switch or dial on VENT
and the recirculation control switch on RECIRCU-
LATE.
. Turn the A,/C switch on. and the heater fan switch
on MAX.
. Run the engine at 1,500 rpm.
. No driver or passengers in vehicle
After running the air conditioning for 10 minutes
under the above test conditions, read the delivery
temperature from the thermometer in the dash vent
and the high and low system pressure from the A,/C
gauges.

- How the Circuit Works
'96198 Models
The air delivery system directs the flow of air used
by the heater and air conditioner systems.
Mode Selection
Mode selection is controlled by the mode switches
in the heater control panel and the mode control
motor. When you select a specific mode, voltage is
applied through the dimming circuit to the LED,
which comes on, indicating the mode selected.
Ground is orovided to the mode control motor
though that mode switch. The motor then runs until
the air control door reaches the proper position.
Fresh/Recirculation 56lection
When you press the fresh or recirculation button, a
ground signal is sent from the heater control panel
to the recirculation control motor. The motor then
runs until the recirculation door reaches the proper
position. Battery voltage is also applied through the
dimming circuit to the corresponding LED, and the
LED comes on.
Refer to the Service Manual (Section 21, Heater) for
specitic tests or troubleshooting proc€dures.
'99J00 Models
The heater control panel receives battery voltage at
all times through fuse 47. With the ignition switch in
ON (ll), voltage is supplied to the heater control
panel through fuse 17. The control panel is
grounded at G402.
The heater control panel controls the air delivery
motors, and supplies a 5 VDC reterence voltage to
the air mixture control motor.
The air mixture and mode control motors each
receive inputs trom the heater control panel. The air
mix motor regulates the mixture of cold and hot air
by varying the position of the heater-evaporator doot
The mode control motor controls the direction and
volume of outlet air. The air flow can be directed to
the dashboard vents or the corner vents.
Both the air mixture control molor and mode control
motor are grounded by the h€aler control panel.
The recirculation control motor receives battery
voltage through fuso 17 when the ignition swilch is
in ON (ll). lt regulates the position of the fresh/recirc
door, and is controlled by two position inputs from
the heater control panel ("Recirc" and "Fresh").
Refer to the Service Manual (Section 21, Heater) tor
specific tests or troubleshooting procedures.
