TROUBLESHOOTING N24EBAE
Before replacing or repairing air conditioning compofents, first determine if the malfunction is; due to refrigerant
charge, air flow, or compressor related.
The following diagnostic charts have been developed as a “quick reference” aid in determining the cause of
malfunction. If these charts do not satisfactorily describe the problem, refer to appropriate section for detailed
explanation.

After correcting the malfunction, check out the complete system to assure satisfactory performance.

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.
