A/C SWITCH
When turned on, the A/C system will operate if blower motor
control lever is in a position other than OFF. When activated, A/C
switch allows A/C compressor clutch to engage and operate the
compressor.
A/C ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SWITCH
The A/C engine coolant temperature switch, located on
thermostat housing, is wired in series with compressor clutch. When
coolant temperature is greater than switch control temperature, power
to compressor is cut and compressor is turned off until temperature
returns to operating range. Switch will turn on at 226
F (108C) and
off at 235-243F (112-118C).
AIR SELECTOR LEVER
The lever moves horizontally to select source of air used
inside passenger compartment. Lever moves from position on left
(outside air mode) to position on right (recirculated air mode). Lev\
er
should be set in recirculated air mode for maximum A/C cooling.
BLOWER MOTOR CONTROL SWITCH
Blower motor control switch rotates to select blower motor
speeds. As switch is rotated from left or OFF position, increasing
speeds of blower operation are selected. In order for A/C system to
operate, blower motor control switch must be in a position other than
OFF.
MODE SELECTOR KNOB
Mode selector knob has six modes available to achieve desired
distribution of air from various outlets. When knob is rotated fully
to left (counterclockwise), airflow is directed to upper passenger
area. In second position (clockwise), airflow is directed to upper
passenger area and slightly to leg area. Position 3, directs air
mostly to leg area and slightly to upper passenger area. Position 4,
directs air exclusively to leg area. Position 5, directs air to leg
area and to windshield and door windows. Position 6, directs air
exclusively to windshield and door windows.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL KNOB
Temperature control knob operates blend-air door in
heater/air conditioning unit, mixing cooled and heated air so that
selected air temperature can be obtained. The system will provide
cooled air when A/C switch is in ON position and blower motor is in
any position other than OFF. Temperature control knob should be on far
left (maximum cooling) side of temperature selection scale when
maximum A/C cooling is desired.
DUAL-PRESSURE SWITCH
The dual-pressure switch, mounted on receiver-drier, is wired
in series with compressor clutch. Whenever system pressures drop below
or increase above control points of switch, power supplied to
compressor will be cut and compressor function will cease until
pressures are back to normal operating ranges.

component. Failure to do this may result in accidental air
bag deployment and possible personal injury. Refer to
DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM .
* For about 60 seconds after air bag system is disabled, it
retains enough voltage to deploy air bags. After disabling
system, wait at least 60 seconds before servicing.
* After servicing, always turn ignition on from passenger-side
of vehicle in case of accidental air bag deployment.
* After servicing, check SRS warning light to verify system
operation. See SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK.
* Always wear safety glasses when servicing or handling an
air bag.
* The SRS-ECU must be stored in its original special container
until used for service. It must be stored in a clean, dry
place, away from sources of extreme heat, sparks and high
electrical energy.
* DO NOT expose air bag module and clockspring to temperatures
greater than 200
F (93C).
* When placing a live air bag module on a bench or other
surface, always face air bag module and trim cover up, away
from surface. This will reduce motion of module if air bag
accidentally deploys.
* After air bag deploys, air bag surface may contain deposits
of sodium hydroxide, which irritates skin. Always wear
safety glasses, rubber gloves and long-sleeved shirt during
clean-up. Wash hands using mild soap and water. Follow
correct clean-up and disposal procedures. Refer to
DISPOSAL PROCEDURES .
* Because of critical system operating requirements, DO NOT
service any SRS components. Repairs are only made by
replacing defective part(s).
* DO NOT allow any electrical source near inflator on the back
of air bag module.
* When carrying a live (undeployed) air bag module, trim cover
must be pointed away from body to minimize injury in case of
accidental air bag deployment.
* DO NOT probe wire harness connector terminals. Instead, use
SRS Check Harness (MB991530).
* DO NOT probe a wire through insulator, as this will damage
it and eventually cause failure due to corrosion.
* When performing electrical tests, prevent accidental
shorting of terminals. Such shorts can damage fuses or
components and may cause a second fault code to set, making
diagnosis of original problem more difficult.
* Never use an analog volt/ohm meter or test light in place of
a Digital Volt/Ohm Meter (DVOM). Use only a DVOM with a
maximum test current of 2 mA (milliamps) at minimum range of
resistance measurement. Also see SPECIAL TOOLS.
* If SRS is not fully functional for any reason, DO NOT drive
vehicle until system is repaired and is fully functional. DO
NOT remove bulbs, modules, sensors or other components, or
in any way disable system from operating normally. If SRS is
not functional, park vehicle until repairs are made.
SPECIAL TOOLS
To avoid air bag deployment when working on SRS, DO NOT use
electrical test equipment such as test lights, battery or A/C-powered
volt/ohmmeter, or any type of electrical equipment other than those
specified by manufacturer. See SRS RECOMMENDED TOOLS table.

cable. Remove battery. Wait at least 60 seconds before continuing.
2) Remove air bag module. Place air bag module on ground at
least 20 feet away from people or objects. Air bag module face (trim
cover) must face upward to prevent movement of air bag module when it
is deployed.
3) Make a harness with two 20-foot (or longer) wires. Connec\
t
wires at one end of this harness to stripped wires of SRS Air Bag
Adapter Harness "B" (MB628919) for driver-side air bag, or SRS Air Bag\
Adapter Harness "A" (MB686560) for passenger-side air bag. See Fig. 2.
4) Wrap connections with insulating tape. Temporarily connect
other end of harness wires together to prevent unexpected air bag
deployment. Connect appropriate adapter harness to air bag module
connector. Place a tire without a rim over the air bag module so rim
hole surrounds air bag module. Stack 3 more tires on top of first
tire. Connect ends of 20-foot wires to terminals of a 12-volt battery.
5) After air bag module deploys, let it cool off and allow
dust to settle for at least 30 minutes before approaching. Tightly
seal deployed air bag module in a strong vinyl bag and dispose of air
bag as you would any other part.
DEPLOYED AIR BAG CLEAN-UP
WARNING: Vehicle interior will contain sodium hydroxide powder, a
by-product of air bag deployment. Since this powder can
irritate skin, eyes, nose and throat, wear safety glasses,
rubber gloves and long-sleeved shirt during clean-up.
1) Avoid breathing powder from air bag deployment. Begin
clean-up by putting tape over air bag exhaust vent to prevent
additional powder from escaping into vehicle interior. Use a vacuum
cleaner to remove any residual powder from A/C-heater outlets and
vehicle interior.
2) Turn blower motor to low for a few minutes and exit
vehicle. Turn blower motor off. Vacuum any other powder expelled from
plenum. Vacuum interior a second time to recover all powder. Avoid
kneeling or sitting on unclean areas. Wrap deployed air bag in heavy
vinyl plastic and dispose of it as you would any other part.
