COMPRESSOR - The prime purpose of the compressor is to compress the low pressure refrigerant vapor
from the evaporator into a high pressure, high temperature vapor. The 6 cylinder 6P148 compressor is used.
MAGNETIC CLUTCH is mounted on the compressor providing a convenient way to drive and disengage
compressor in accordance to the cooling needs. CONDENSER is located in front of the radiator. Its function
is to cool the hot, high pressure refrigerant gas causing it to condense into high pressure liquid refrigerant.
RECEIVER DRIER is used to remove any traces of moisture from the refrigerant system. This component
incorporates the sight glass and fusible plug. SIGHT GLASS at the top of the receiver drier is provided as a
diagnostic tool to observe refrigerant flow and observe refrigerant level. THE FUSIBLE PLUG is located on
the receiver drier. Its function is to prevent damage to the air conditioning system in the event that
excessive pressure develops due to condenser air flow being restricted by, for example, leaves, newspaper,
an overcharge of refrigerant, or air in the system. LOW PRESSURE SWITCH prevents damage to the
compressor in case of system loss of refrigerant charge. EXPANSION VALVE - The expansion valve is used
for all applications. Its function is to meter refrigerant into the evaporator in accordance with cooling
requirements. EVAPORATOR COIL is located in the unit and its function is to cool and dehumidify the air
before it enters the vehicle. FREEZE UP CONTROL FIN THERMOSTAT SENSOR is installed at the heater
side of evaporator. The main function of a freeze control is to keep condensate water on the face of the
evaporator coil from freezing and restricting air flow. WATER TEMPERATURE SWITCH - When the
temperature of the radiator coolant became high, this switch functions to stop the compressor and prevent
engine overheating. SERVICE VALVE at the compressor and the discharge line. The valves are used to test
and service the refrigerant system. REFRIGERANT R-12 is used maximum amount 907 g (32 oz.) R-12.
COMPRESSOR OIL is used DENS0 oil 6 maximum amount 110 cc (3.7 U.S.fl.oz., 3.9 Imp.fl.oz.).

SIGHT GLASS REFRlGERANT LEVEL TEST The sight glass is a refrigerant level indicator. To check the refrigerant level, clean the sight glass and start the

move the temperature lever to extreme left.
After operating for a few minutes in this manner, check the sight glass.
(1) If the sight glass is clear, the magnetic clutch is engaged, the compressor discharge line is warm and the
compressor inlet line is cool; the system has a full charge.
(2) If the sight glass is clear, the magnetic clutch is engaged and there is no significant temperature difference
between compressor inlet and discharge lines; the system has lost some refrigerant.
(3) If the sight glass is clear and the magnetic clutch is disengaged; the clutch is faulty or, the system is out of
refrigerant. Perform low pressure switch test to determine condition. Check low pressure switch and clutch coil
for electrical continuity.

(4) If the sight glass shows foam or bubbles, the systpm could be low on charge. Occasional foam or bubbles are
normal when the ambient temperature is above 43”C(110”F) or below 21”C(7O”F).
Adjust the engine speed to 1,500 rpm. Block the airflow through the condenser to increase the compressor
discharge pressure to 1,422 to 1,520 kPa (20$ to 220 dsi). If sight glass still shows bubbles or foam, system charge
level is low.
The refrigerant system will not be low on charge unless there is a leak. Find and repair the leak. If the leak can be
repaired without discharging the system an oil level check is not necessary. Use the procedure for correcting low
refrigerant level found in the Refrigerant Sy$em Service Procedure Section.
FUSIBLE PLUG
When ambient temperature of the fusible plug reach& 105~221~F), the fusible plug melts and the refrigerant in
the system is released.
Once the fusible plug is operated, it cannot be used again.
SO, it is necessary to install new one and charge the refrigerant in the system.
Low pressure
switch , LOW PRESSURE SWITCH
The Low Pressure Switch, located on the liquid line, is wired in
series with the magnetic clutch. It cuts off the electrical power
supply to the clutch when refrigerant pressure drops below the
cont$ol point of the switch. Whenever the system is inactivated by
the low pressure switch due to refrigerant loss, the refrigerant oil
may have been lost. Therefore, to prevent damage to the com-
pressor due to operation without sufficient lubrication, the leak
must be repaired and the compressor oil level checked before final
charge of the system. The switch is a sealed, factory calibrated
unit. No attempt should be made to adjust or otherwise repair it.
If it is found to be faulty it must be replaced.
To Test the Low Pressure Switch (Engine Off)
(1) Jump the wire leads.
(2) Press the air conditioner switch and blower switch on.
(3) Momentarily turn the ignition switch on (do not crank the en-
gine), listen for the compressor clutch engaging.
(4) If the clutch does not engage, the fin thermostat, water tem-
perature switch or fuse may be faulty.
(5) If clutch engages, connect the manifold gauge set and
read pressure. At pressure of 210 kPa (30 psi) or above,
switch must actuate the clutch.
If the pressure is below 210 kPa (30 psi), the refrigerant
system is low in charge. For corrective action refer to
refrigerant leak repair procedure.
(6) Reconnect boot on switch and perform step number 3.
If the clutch does not engage, discharge the system, replace
the switch, and recharge the system.

AIR-CONDITIONING -Service Adjustment Procedures 24-41
COMPRESSOR NOISE NWLM
When investigating an air conditioning related noise, you must first know the conditions when the noise occurs.
These conditions are: weather, vehicle speed, in gear or neutral, engine temperature or any other special
conditions.
Noises that develop during air- conditioning operation can often be misleading. For example: what sounds like a
failed front bearing or connecting rod, may be caused by loose bolts, nuts, mounting brackets, or a loose clutch
assembly. Verify accessory drive belt tension (power
steering, alternator or air pump). Improper accessory drive belt
tension can cause a misleading noise when the compressor is engaged and little or no noise when the compressor
is disengaged.
Drive belts are speed sensitive. That is, at different engine speeds, and depending upon belt tension, belts can
develop unusual noises that are often mistaken for mechanical problems within the compressor.
Adjustment Procedures
(1) Select a quiet area for testing. Duplicate conditions as much as possible. Switch compressor on and off several
times to clearly identify compressor noise.
To duplicate high ambient conditions (high head pressure), restrict air-flow through
condenser. Install
manifold gauge set to make sure discharge pressure does not exceed 2,070 kPa (300 psi).
(2) Tighten all compressor mounting bolts, clutch mounting bolt, and compressor drive belt. Check to assure clutch
coil is tight (no rotation or wobble).
(3) Check refrigerant hoses for rubbing or interference that can cause unusual noises.
(4) Check refrigerant charge (See “Charging the System”).
(5) Recheck compressor noise as in Step 1.
(6) If noise still exists, loosen compressor mounting bolts and retorque. Repeat Step 1.
(7) If noise continues, replace compressor and repeat Step 1.
