Checking Condition of Thermistors (Sensors)
1.
Install Tester J-22368 as previously described.
2.
Start the engine and run at fast idle. Move the
Comfortron control lever to HI-FRONT.
•Set Rocker switch to MANUAL.
•Set Manual Control Knob to 150 ohms on scale.
3.
Set the Tester Voltage switch to AMPLIFIER.
4.
Rotate Comfortron Temperature dial until the Tester
voltmeter reads 6.5 volts. The dial should read 75°,
Adjust dial if necessary.
5.
After car has run (windows and doors closed) for at
least 10 minutes, switch Rocker switch to AUTO-
MATIC. Voltage reading should remain at 6.5. A
change in the voltage indicates a bad sensor.
6. If a bad sensor is indicated in Step 5, check each
sensor, disconnected from the system, with an ohm-
meter. Approximate resistance of each sensor at
75°F.
should be as follows:
In-car Sensor — 50-75 ohms
Ambient Sensor --,55 ohms or less
Duct Delay Sensor -.- 25-75 ohms
Feedback
Potentiometer —
Master Delay
Thermistor -- 70 ohms
High Blower Delay
Thermistor -- 80 ohms including
10 ohm resistor

COMPLETE SYSTEM CHECKS
The following information should be used whenever
preliminary checks indicate the need for further, more
specific, tests. Together with the Electrical Test Dia-
gram (fig. 49) and the Vacuum Diagram (fig. 50),
they may be used to accurately pinpoint any malfunction
of the system.

are fused which will lead to evaporator freeze-up.
Replace the switch.
• If the compressor does not operate regardless of
the position of the knob a loss of the power
element charge is indicated provided that it has
been established that power is supplied to the
switch. This, of course, results in no cooling.
Replace the switch.
• Check the screw threads for stripped or other-
wise damaged threads.
Adjusting Switch
H, after checks above, the switch seems to be operating
properly,
follows:
adjust for proper setting if necessary, as
1.
(Chevy II All-Weather) Turn the outer air deflector
in the face plate so that the attaching screws may
be removed; Then remove the control knobs, bezels
and the thermostatic switch. (Universal) remove the
face plate retaining screws. Pull the faceplate away
from the case when ready to turn the switch adjusting
screw.
2.
Vehicle must be set up as in Step 2 above.
3.
The suction side of the system, read on the low
pressure gauge, should pull down to the pressure
shown in the chart in Performance Test under the
ambient temperature at the time the switch is being
set.
4.
If the low side pulls down lower than the prescribed
pressure at the end of each cooling cycle, turn the
adjusting screw (See Figure 54) clockwise in single
