SRS components are located in this area. Review the
SRS component locatio.s, precautions, and procedures
in the SRS section (23) before performing repairs or ser-
vtce.
1. When the engine is cool, drain the engine coolant
from the radiator (see section 1O).
@ oo not remove the radiator cap when
the engine is hot; the engine coolant is undol
prsssure and could sevdely scald you.
2. Ooen the clamD, then disconnect the heater valve
cable from the heater valve arm.

3. Disconnect the heater hoses lrom the heater unit.
CAUTION: Engine coolant will damaga paint. Ouick-
ly rinse any spilled engine coolant from painted
sudaces.
NOTE: Engine coolant will run out when the hoses
are disconnected, drain it into a clean drip pan.
4. Remove the mounting nut from the heater unit.
NOTE: When removing the mounting nut, take care
not to damage or bend the fuel pipes, brake pipes,
etc.

these items:
. Apply sealant to the grommets
. Do not interchange the inlet and outlet hoses.
Make sure that the hose clamps are secure.
. Loosen the bleed bolt on the engine and refill the
radiator and coolant reservoir with the proper
engine coolant minure (see section 10).
Tighten the bleed bolt when all the trapped air
has escaped and engine coolant begins to flow
from it (see section 10).
. Connect all cables and make sure they are prop-
erly adjusted (see page 2'l-271.

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 requirements of SAE J2210 to remove
HFC-134a (R-134a) from the air conditioner svstem.
CAUTION: Exposure to air conditioner retrigerant and
lubricant vapor or mist can irritate eyes, nose and
throat. Avoid breathing the air conditioner refrigerant
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 arr.
@ some mixtures of air and R-134a have
been shown to be combustible at elevated Dressures
and can result in fire or explosion causing iniury orproperty damage. Never use compressed air to pressure
test R-134a service equipment or vehicle air conditioner
systems.
Additional health and safety information may be
obtained from the refrigerant and lubricant manufactur-
ers.
Connect a R-134a refrigerant Recovery/Recycling/
Charging System to the vehicle, as shown, follow-
ing the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
Insen a thermometer in the center vent outlet.
Determine the relative humidity and air tempera-
IUre.
Test conditions:
. Avoid direct sunlight.
. Open hood.
. Open lront doors.
. Set the temperature control lever to MAX COOL,
the mode control switch on VENT and the recir-
culation control switch on RECIRCULATE.. Slide 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 dashvent, and the high and low system pressure from
the A,/C gauges.

lf the compressor is marginally operable, run the
engine at idle speed, and let the air conditioner
work a few minutes. Then shut the engine off.
Recover the refrigerant with a Recovery/Recycling/
Charging System \see page 22-22).
Remove the power steering pump (see section 17).
NOTE: Do not disconnect the hoses from the power
steering pump.
Disconnect the condenser fan connector.
Disconnect the compressor clutch connector, then
remove the compressor clutch connector and the
clips from the condenser fan shroud
Remove the two mounting bolts and the condenser
fan shroud.
NOTE: Be careful not to damage the radiator fins
when removing the condenser fan shroud.

10. lnstall in the reverse order of removal. Make note of
these rtems:
) lf you're installing a new compressor, drain all
the refrigerant oil from the removed compressor,
and measure its volume, Subtract the volume of
drained oil from 140 m{ 14 2/3ll.oz,4.93 imp.oz);
the result is the amount of oil you should drain
from the new compressor (through the suction
{itting).
r Replace the O-rings with new ones at each fit-
ting, and apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil
before installing them.
NOTE: Be sure to use the right O-rings for HFC-'t34a (R-134a) to avoid leakage.
. use refrigerant oil (ND-OlL 8: P/N 38897 PR7-
A0IAH or 38899 - PR7 - A01) for R-'134a DENSO
piston type compressors onlY.
. To avoid contamination, do not return the oil to
the container once dispensed, and never mix it
with other refrigerant oils.
. lmmediately after using the oil, replace the cap
on the container, and seal it to avoid moisture
aDsorDt|on.
. Do not spill the refrigerant oil on the vehicle; it
may damage the paint; if the refrigerant oil con-
tacts the Daint, wash it off immediately.
. Do not damage the radiator fins when installing
the condenser fan shroud and the compressor.
. Adjust the Ay'C compressoi belt {see page 22-36J
. Adjust the power steering pump belt (see section
17J.
. Charge the system (see page 22-39) and test its
performance {see Page 22-24).
