IDLE AIR CONTROL MOTOR TEST
Idle air control (IAC) motor operation can be tested
using special exerciser tool number 7558 (Fig. 41).
CAUTION: Proper safety precautions must be taken
when testing the idle air control motor:
²Set the parking brake and block the drive wheels
²Route all tester cables away from the cooling fans,
drive belt, pulleys and exhaust components
²Provide proper ventilation while operating the en-
gine
²Always return the engine idle speed to normal be-
fore disconnecting the exerciser tool
(1) With the ignition OFF, disconnect the IAC mo-
tor wire connector at throttle body (Fig. 41).
(2) Plug the exerciser tool number 7558 harness
connector into the IAC motor.
(3) Connect the red clip of exerciser tool 7558 to
battery positive terminal. Connect the black clip to
negative battery terminal. The red light on the exer-
ciser tool will flash when the tool is properly con-
nected.(4) Start engine.
When the switch on the tool is in the HIGH or
LOW position, the light on the tool will flash. This
indicates that voltage pulses are being sent to the
IAC stepper motor.
(5) Move the switch to the HIGH position. The en-
gine speed should increase. Move the switch to the
LOW position. The engine speed should decrease.
(a) If the engine speed changes while using the
exerciser tool, the IAC motor is functioning prop-
erly. Disconnect the exerciser tool and connect the
IAC motor wire connector to the stepper motor.
(b) If the engine speed does not change, turn the
ignition OFF and proceed to step (6). Do not dis-
connect exerciser tool from the IAC motor.
(6) Remove the IAC motor from the throttle body.
Do not remove IAC motor housing from throttle body.
CAUTION: When checking IAC motor operation with
the motor removed from the throttle body, do not
extend the pintle (Fig. 42) more than 6.35 mm (.250
in). If the pintle is extended more than this amount,
it may separate from the IAC motor. The IAC motor
must be replaced if the pintle separates from the
motor.
(7) With the ignition OFF, cycle the exerciser tool
switch between the HIGH and LOW positions. Ob-
serve the pintle. The pintle should move in-and-out
of the motor.
(a) If the pintle does not move, replace the idle
air control motor. Start the engine and test the re-
placement motor operation as described in step (5).
(b) If the pintle operates properly, check the idle
air control motor bore in the throttle body bore for
blockage and clean as necessary. Reinstall the idle
air control motor and retest. If blockage is not
found, refer to the DRB scan tool and the appropri-
ate Powertrain Diagnostics Procedures service
manual.

motor is controlled by a vacuum switch in the heater
control panel. The vent air doors are opened and
closed by a cable and linkage operated by the air con-
trol lever. Fresh air intake occurs only when the le-
ver is in the VENT position.
AIR CONDITIONING
The compressor increases the pressure and temper-
ature of the refrigerant. The heated refrigerant vapor
is pumped into the condenser where it is cooled by
air passing over the condenser fins. As the refriger-
ant cools in the condenser, it condenses into a liquid.
Still under high pressure, the liquid refrigerant
passes into the receiver. The receiver acts as a reser-
voir to furnish refrigerant to the expansion valve at
all times. From the receiver, the high pressure liquid
refrigerant passes to the expansion valve. The expan-
sion valve meters refrigerant into the evaporator.
The low pressure is maintained by the suction side of
the compressor. As it enters the evaporator, the re-
frigerant begins to absorb heat from the air passing
over the evaporator core. Having given up its heat to
boil the refrigerant, the air is cooled and passes into
the passenger compartment. From the evaporator the
vaporized refrigerant is drawn back to the compres-
sor to repeat the cycle.
A/C COMPONENTS
COMPRESSOR:The SD7H15 Compressor is used
on all models. The purpose of the compressor is to
compress the low-pressure refrigerant vapor into a
high pressure, high temperature vapor. The compres-
sor is serviced as a assembly only.
CLUTCH PULLEY AND COIL:They are
mounted on the compressor and providing a way to
drive the compressor. The compressor clutch and coil
are the only serviced parts on the SD7H15 compres-
sor. When the compressor is not in operation, the
pulley free wheels on the clutch hub bearing. When
the coil is energized the clutch plate is magnetically
engaged with the pulley and turns the compressor
shaft.
CONDENSER:The condenser is located in front of
the engine radiator. Its function is to cool the hot
high pressure refrigerant gas. This causes it to con-
dense into high pressure liquid refrigerant.
EXPANSION VALVE:The expansion valve is lo-
cated in the engine compartment on XJ vehicles. On
YJ vehicles it is located behind the A/C housing. Its
function is to meter refrigerant into the evaporator in
accordance with cooling requirements.

oil until you are ready to use it. Install the cap im-
mediately after using. Store the oil only in a clean
moisture-free container.
Keep service tools and the work area clean. Con-
tamination of A/C system through careless work hab-
its must be avoided.
COOLING SYSTEM
To maintain the performance level of the heating/
air conditioning system, the engine cooling system
must be properly maintained.
The use of a bug screen is not recommended. Any
obstructions in front of the radiator or condenser can
reduce the performance of the A/C and cooling sys-
tem. If a bug screen is used it must be cleaned fre-
quently.
COOLANT PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: ANTIFREEZE IS AN ETHYLENE GLYCOL
BASE COOLANT AND IS HARMFUL IF SWAL-
LOWED OR INHALED. IF SWALLOWED, DRINK
TWO GLASSES OF WATER AND INDUCE VOMIT-
ING. IF INHALED, MOVE TO FRESH AIR AREA.
SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
WARNING: WASH SKIN AND CLOTHING THOR-
OUGHLY AFTER COMING IN CONTACT WITH ETH-
YLENE GLYCOL.
WARNING: KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN
AND PETS.
WARNING: DO NOT OPEN A COOLING SYSTEM
WHEN THE ENGINE IS AT RUNNING TEMPERA-
TURE. PERSONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.WARNING: DO NOT STORE IN OPEN OR UN-
MARKED CONTAINERS.
WARNING: HOT ENGINE COOLANT CAN CAUSE
SEVERE BURNS. DO NOT OPEN THE RADIATOR
DRAIN COCK WHEN THE COOLING SYSTEM IS
HOT AND PRESSURIZED. ALLOW THE COOLANT
TO DECREASE TO ROOM TEMPERATURE BEFORE
STARTING REPAIR OPERATIONS.
The engine cooling system is designed to develop
internal pressure of 97 to 124 kPa (14 to 18 psi). Al-
low the vehicle 15 minutes to cool down (or until a
safe temperature and pressure are attained) before
opening the cooling system. Refer to Group 7, Cooling
System.REFRIGERANT HOSES/TUBES PRECAUTIONS
Kinks or sharp bends in the refrigerant tubing or
hoses will reduce the capacity of the entire system.
High pressures are produced in the system when it is
operating. Extreme care must be exercised to make
sure that all connections are pressure tight. Dirt and
moisture can enter the system when it is opened for
repair.
A good rule for the flexible hose lines is to keep the
radius of all bends at least 10 times the diameter of
the hose. Sharp bends will reduce the flow of refrig-
erant. The flexible hose lines should be routed so
they are at least 80 mm (3 inches) from the exhaust
manifold. It is a good practice to inspect all flexible
hose lines at least once a year to make sure they are
in good condition and properly routed.

LEAK TESTING REFRIGERANT
REVIEW WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS IN
THIS GROUP BEFORE LEAK TESTING.
If A/C system is not cooling properly, determine if
system is fully charged. Refer to Refrigerant System
Diagnosis Chart. If the system is empty evacuate the
A/C system and charge system with 0.283 kPa (0.6
lbs. or 10 oz.) R-134a refrigerant. Refer to Charging
Refrigerant System for instructions. To detect a leak
in the system, perform the following procedures.
(1) Position the vehicle in a wind free work area.
This will aid in detecting small leaks.
(2) Bring A/C system up to operating temperature
and pressure. This is done by allowing the engine to
run with the A/C on for 5 to 7 minutes.
(3) Open hood 5 minutes prior to leak test. This
will dissipate any accumulated refrigerant in the en-
gine compartment.
(4) With the engine not running, use an R-134a
Electronic Leak Detector and search for leaks. Move
probe slowly along the bottom side of lines and fit-
tings, because R-134a is heavier than air. Fittings,
lines, or components that appear to be oily usually
indicates a refrigerant leak.
(5) To inspect the evaporator core for leaks. Set the
blower at low speed and the selector in PANEL and
RECIRC mode check for leaks at CENTER panel out-
lets.
RECOVERING REFRIGERANT SYSTEM
REVIEW WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS IN
GENERAL INFORMATION SECTION OF THIS
GROUP BEFORE DISCHARGING SYSTEM.
R-134a refrigerant is a hydrofluorocarbon (HFC)
that does not contain chlorine. R-134a refrigerant Re-
covery/Recycling Station that meets SAE standard
J2210 must be used to recover the refrigerant. Refer
to the operating instructions provided with the equip-
ment for proper operation.
EVACUATING REFRIGERANT SYSTEM
REVIEW WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS IN
GENERAL INFORMATION SECTION OF THIS
GROUP BEFORE EVACUATING SYSTEM.
If the A/C system has been open to the atmosphere,
it must be evacuated before the system can be
charged. Moisture and air mixed with refrigerant will
raise the compressor head pressure above acceptable
operating levels. This will reduce the performance of
the air conditioner and damage the compressor. Mois-
ture will boil at near room temperature when ex-
posed to vacuum. To evacuate the refrigerant system
use following procedure:
(1) Connect a suitable charging station and mani-
fold gauge set to the vehicle.
(2) Open the low and high side valves and start
vacuum pump. When suction gauge reads 88 kPa (26
in. Hg) vacuum or greater, close all valves and turn
off vacuum pump. If system fails to reach specified
vacuum, the system has a leak that must be cor-
rected. If system maintains the specified vacuum for
30 minutes, start the vacuum pump. Then open the
suction and discharge valves and evacuate an addi-
tional 10 minutes.
(3) Close all valves. Turn off and disconnect the
vacuum pump.
The system is now ready to be charged with refrig-
erant.
CHARGING REFRIGERANT SYSTEM
REVIEW WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS IN
GENERAL INFORMATION SECTION OF THIS
GROUP BEFORE CHARGING SYSTEM.
After the system has been tested for leaks and
evacuated, a refrigerant charge can be injected into
the system. Refer to refrigerant capacities for proper
amount of refrigerant charge. Charge the system us-
ing a Recovery/Recycling/Charging Station approved
for R-134a refrigerant. Refer to the instructions pro-
vided with the equipment for proper operation.
REFRIGERANT CHARGE CAPACITY
The R-134a system charge capacity is 0.9 kPa (32
oz.) for XJ and YJ vehicles.
