connect pressure gauges. Operate system for 10 minutes.
3) Check for cool air from left duct. Low pressure gauge
should read more than 16 psi (1.1 kg/cmý). If low pressure gauge
reading is incorrect, place hands around expansion valve to warm
valve. If pressure rises, moisture is present in system. Discharge A/C
system using approved refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment.
Evacuate and recharge system. If pressure does not rise, go to next
step.
4) Check temperature on thermometer when thermostatic switch
turns compressor off. If temperature is 39
øF (4øC), system is okay. If
temperature is lower than 39
øF (4øC), ensure capillary tube installed
length is 13" (330 mm). If capillary tube installation is correct,
replace thermostatic switch.
TESTING
A/C SYSTEM PERFORMANCE
1) Park vehicle out of direct sunlight. Start engine and
operate engine at 2500 RPM. Set A/C controls to outside air, panel
(vent) mode, full cold, and A/C button on.
2) Set blower/fan on high speed and open windows. Operate
system for 6-7 minutes to allow system to stabilize. Insert
thermometer in center vent, and measure temperature. Temperature at
center vent must be 19-40
øF (-7 to 4øC) at center vent, with high side
and low side pressures within specification. See SPECIFICATIONS table
at beginning of article.
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SWITCH
1) Remove air intake grille from right side cowl. Remove
switch from panel on right side of tray area. Place switch in freezer.
2) Using a DVOM, check switch resistance. Switch resistance
must be infinite (no continuity) below 30
øF (-1øC). Allow switch to
warm above 45
øF (7øC). Switch resistance must be zero ohms
(continuity). Replace switch if necessary.
COMPRESSOR CLUTCH COIL
Disconnect compressor clutch harness connector. Check
resistance between clutch connector terminals. Resistance reading
should be 3.6 ohms. If resistance reading is not as specified, replace
clutch coil.
DUAL-PRESSURE SWITCH
High-Pressure Cut-Out Switch
Locate dual-pressure switch on refrigerant line (right strut
tower). Switch is identified by its 4 wires. Ensure switch opens at
464 psi (32 kg/cm
ý). Ensure switch closes at 348 psi (24 kg/cmý).
NOTE: Dual-pressure switch may be removed without discharging

refrigerant from A/C system.
Low-Pressure Cut-Out Switch
Locate A/C pressure switch on refrigerant line (right strut
tower). Switch is identified by its 4 wires. Ensure switch opens below
29 psi (2.0 kg/cmý). Ensure switch closes above 43.5 psi (3.0 kg/cmý).
Replace switch if necessary.

If you want "TUNE-UP" type information, see D - ADJUSTMENTS
for the adjustment procedures. If you are familiar with the
procedures, but need a quick way to find the specification, go to C -
TUNE-UP SPECS or C - SPECIFICATIONS for the specifications pertaining
to the vehicle.
When diagnosing driveability problems, first go to F - BASIC
TESTING. This article is here to help eliminate wasted diagnostic
time. If the basic systems are working properly, go to G - TESTS W/
CODES.
If the vehicle still is having a driveability problem or if
the vehicle has no self-diagnostic system, go to H - TESTS W/O CODES.
This article will help you diagnose the problem by symptom, locate the
symptom exhibited by the vehicle, and inspect or test the items which
may be causing the problem.
After finding which specific system or component requires
testing, use the I - SYS/COMP TESTS article to tests the systems and
components. We have also included (when available) pin voltage charts
and sensor range charts. These can be found in J - PIN VOLTAGE CHARTS
and K - SENSOR RANGE CHARTS.
Also included in this section are wiring diagrams and vacuum
diagrams. These can be found in L - WIRING DIAGRAMS and M - VACUUM
DIAGRAMS.
When all diagnostic tests have been performed and the problem
has been discovered, it may be necessary to replace or overhaul the
defective part. This information can be found in
N - REMOVE/INSTALL/OHAUL.
The content of each of these articles is outlined below. As a
summary of the driveability diagnosis, see ROUTINE OUTLINE in this
article.
A - ENGINE/VIN ID
This article shows how to identify the model and engine by
its Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). A model coverage chart shows
each model and engine, the fuel system, ignition system and engine
code. The engine serial number locations are also included in this
article.
B - EMISSION APPLICATION
These charts identify the emission systems and sub-systems
applicable to each model and engine combination.
C - TUNE-UP SPECS
This is a collection of quick-reference type specifications.
This article is helpful when you are familiar with proper adjustment
procedures and only need specifications. Included in this section are:

This article covers basic theory and operation of engine
performance-related systems and components. Before diagnosing vehicles
or systems with which you are not completely familiar, read this
article.
F - BASIC TESTING
When diagnosing driveability problems, there are certain
"BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES" which must FIRST be performed. It is
necessary to perform a careful, complete check of basic engine
mechanical and electrical conditions, and verify spark availability
and adequate fuel supply.
The procedures apply to both computerized and non-
computerized systems. If all systems are okay, go to G - TESTS W/
CODES for vehicles with self-diagnostic systems or H - TESTS W/O CODES
for diagnosis by symptom.
G - TESTS W/ CODES
Use this article to retrieve and interpret trouble codes from
the engine computer self-diagnostic system. Once information is
retrieved, diagnostic procedures are given to help pinpoint and repair
computer system/component faults. Necessary steps for clearing trouble
codes are also given. If faults indicated by trouble codes are not
present at time of testing, proceed to TESTS W/O CODES for
intermittent testing procedures.
H - TESTS W/O CODES
This article helps trouble shoot driveability problems based
upon available "SYMPTOMS" and "INTERMITTENT TESTING" procedures.
Procedures in this section should lead you to specific component or
system tests which may or may not be computer monitored/controlled.
I - SYS/COMP TESTS
In this article, you will find tests for systems and
components related to air induction systems (turbochargers), fuel
control, ignition control, and emissions control systems.
J - PIN VOLTAGE CHARTS
PIN VOLTAGE CHARTS are supplied (where available) to speed up
the diagnostic process. By checking pin voltages at the electronic
control unit, it is possible to determine if the control unit is
receiving and transmitting proper voltage signals.
K - SENSOR RANGE CHARTS
Use the SENSOR OPERATING RANGE CHARTS to determine if a
