OB-4 MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Tire and wheel operation - Be alert to a vibra-
tion of the steering wheel or seat at normal highway
speeds. This may mean a wheel balance is needed. Also, a
pull right or left on a straight, level road may show the
need for
a tire pressure adjustment or wheel alignment.
Steering system operation - Be alert to
changes in steering action. An inspection is needed when
the steering wheel is harder to turn or has too much free
play or if unusual sounds are noted when turning or
parking.
Headlight aim operation - Take note of light
pattern occasionally. If beam aim doesn't look right,
headlights should be adjusted.
AT EACH FUEL FILL
Engine oil level check - Check engine oil level
and add if necessary. See your Owner's
Manual for further
details.
NOTICE: A large loss in this system may indicate a
problem. Have it inspected and repaired at once.
Engine coolant level and condition - Check
engine coolant level in coolant reservoir tank and add if
necessary. Replace if dirty or rusty. See your Owner's
Manual for further details.
NOTICE: A large loss in this system may indicate a
problem. Have it inspected and repaired at once.
Windshield washer fluid level check -- Check
washer fluid level in container and add if necessary.
Hood latch operation - When opening hood on
cars equipped with hoods that open from the front, note
the operation of secondary latch. It should keep hood from
opening all the way when primary latch is released. Make
sure that hood closes firmly.

tion
- Inspect belt system, including webbing, buckles,
latch plates, retractors, guide loops and anchors.
Moveable head restraint operation - On cars
with moveable restraints, make sure restraints stay in the
desired position. (See adjustment instructions in your
Owner's Manual.)
Seatback latch and recliner operation on
cars equipped
with recliner seat --- Be sure seat-
backs latch on those cars with folding seats using mechan-
ical latches. Make sure the recliner is holding by pushing
and pulling on the top of the
seatback while it is reclined.
See your Owner's Manual for seat operating information.
Spare tire and jack storage- Be alert to rattles
in rear of car. Make sure the space tire, all jacking equip-
ment, any tire inflator and any covers or doors are securely
stowed at all times. Oil jack ratchet or screw mechanism
after each use.
Key lock service - Lubricate key lock cylinder at
least annually.
Body lubrication service - Lubricate all body
door hinges including the tailgate or hatchback lid (if
equipped). Also lubricate the body hood, fuel door and
rear compartment hinges and latches including interior
glove box and counsel doors, and any folding seat
hardware.
"Fansmissionltransaxle neutral or clutch
starl switch operation
CAUnON: Before pedorming the follow-
ing safety switch check, be sure to have
enough room around the car. Then, firmly
apply both the parking brake (see your
Owner's Manual for procedure) and the
regular brakes. Do not use the accelerator pedal.
If the engine
starls, be ready to turn
off the ignition promptly. Take these pre-
cautions because the car could move
without warning and possibly cause per-
sonal injury or properly damage. On auto-
matic transmissionltransaxle cars, try to
starl the engine in each gear. The starler
should crank only in "Park" or "Neutral."
On manual transmissionltransaxle cars,
place the
shiR lever in "Neutral," push the
clutch halfway and try to starl. The starler
should crank only when the clutch is fully
depressed.
Steering column lock operation
- While
parked, try to turn key to "Lock" in each gear range. The
key should turn to "Lock" only when gear is in "Park" on
automatic or "Reverse" on manual
transmissionltransax-
le. On cars with key release lever, try to turn key toULock"
without depressing the lever. The key should turn to
"Lock" only with the key lever depressed. On all vehicles,
the key should come out only in "Lock."
Parking brake and transmissionltransaxle
"Park" mechanism operation
CAUT1ON:Before checking the holding
ability of the parking brake and automatic
transmissionltransaxle "Park" mecha-
nism, park on a fairly steep hill with
enough room for movement in the down-
hill direction. To reduce the risk of person-
al injury or property damage, be prepared
to apply the regular brakes promptly if the
car begins to move.
To check the parking brake, with the engine running and
transmission/transaxle in "Neutral." slowly remove foot
pressure from the regular brake pedal (until the car is held
by only the parking brake).
To check the automatic transmissionltransaxle "Park"
mechanism holding ability, release all brakes after shift-
ing the transmissionltransaxle to "Park."
ljnderbody flushing - At least every spring,
tlush from the underbody with plain water any corrosive
materials used for ice and snow removal and dust control.
Take care to thoroughly clean any areas where mud and
other debris can collect.
Sediment packed in closed areas
of the vehicle should be loosened before being flushed.
Engine cooling system service - Inspect
coolant and freeze protection. If dirty or rusty, drain, flush
and refill with new coolant. Keep coolant
at the proper
mixture as specified in your Owner's Manual. This pro-
vides proper freeze protection. corrosion inhibitor level
and engine operating temperature. Inspect hoses and re-
place if cracked. swollen or deteriorated. Tighten hose
clamps. Clean outside of radiator and air conditioning
condensor. Wash radiator filler cap and neck.
To help
ensure proper operation. a pressure test of both the cooling
system and cap is also recommended. (See maintenance
schedule charts in Figure
OB-l for the recommended
coolant change interval.)

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The base heater system is designed to provide
heating, ventilation, windshield defrosting and on some
cars, side window defogging. Ram air ventilation is
provided on some cars by two (2) outboard vent valves
installed in the plenum. These vent valves are
controlled by push-pull controls mounted in the
instrument panel. When either of these valves are
opened, air will enter the passenger compartment from
the pressurized plenum and be directed to the floor of
the vehicle.

Fig. 2 Interior Body Air & Exit - Typical Hatchback Models
The power-vent, heat, and defrost provisions of
the base system are controlled within the heater
module. The module itself is composed of two (2)
components
- a blower air inlet and a heater defroster.
The blower air inlet is mounted to the front of the cowl
and the heater defroster assembly is mounted to the
rear of the cowl. A gasket is used between the two to
prevent air, water and noise entrance into the
passenger compartment. Air distribution is through a
heater outlet, defroster duct, power-vent duct work
and outlets.
The three modes of the base heater system (vent,
heat, defrost) are controlled by the functional
assemblies within the heater module. These assemblies
are defined below:
1. Motor & Fan Assembly (Blower).
Provides and regulates air flow from the air inlet
for further processing and/or distribution.
2. Heater Core.
Transfers heat from engine coolant to inlet air,
heating the inlet air.
3. Temperature Valve.
Regulates the amount of air passing through the
heater core, controlling the temperature and mix
of heated and ambient air.
4. Mode (Defroster) Valve.
Regulates the flow and distribution of processed
air to the distribution (heater or defroster) ducts.
5. Vent Valve.
Regulates the flow of non-processed (outside) air
into the passenger compartment.
The operation of these assemblies is controlled by
the levers and switch on the control head. Depending
on model application, two (2) or three
(3) indexed
snap-in cables are attached to the module and control
levers.
The temperature cable has the slider-type,
self-adjust feature. As the temperature lever of the
control head is cycled through its full range of travel,
the cable clip will assume a position assuring that the
temperature valve will seat in both extreme positions.
The vent and/or defrost cables also have the

AIR CONDITIONING 1 B-3
A low-side pressure Schrader valve service fit-
ting is located near the top of the accumulator. A
similar Schrader fitting may be provided for mounting
the pressure cycling switch. It is not necessary to dis-
charge the system to replace the switch. The accumu-
lator is serviced only as a replacement assembly.
Heater Core
The heater core heats the air before it enters the
car. Engine coolant is circulated through the core to
heat the outside air passing over the fins of the core.
The core is functional at all times (no water valve) and
may be used to temper conditioned air in
A/C mode,
as well as heat or vent mode.
SYSTEM COMPONENTS --- CON"FOL
Controller
The operation of the A/C system is controlled by
the switches and the lever on the control head. The
compressor clutch and blower are connected electri-
cally to the control head by a wiring harness. The
blower circuit is open in the off mode and air flow is
provided by the four blower speeds available in the
remaining modes. Cooled and dehumidified air is
available in the max, normal, bi-level and defrost
modes.
Temperature is controlled by the position of the
temperature lever on the control head. A cable con-
nects this lever to the temperature door which controls
air flow through the heater core. As the temperature
lever is moved through its range of travel, a sliding
clip on the cable at the temperature valve connection
should assume a position assuring that the temperature
door will seat in both extreme positions. Temperature
door position is independent of mode selection. The
temperature cable attaches to the right side of the air
conditioning module. The temperature door on some
models is controlled electrically, thereby eliminating
the need for the temperature cable.
The electric engine cooling fan on some cars is
not part of the
A/C system; however, the fan is
operational any time the
A/C control is in Max.,
Norm, or Bi-Level modes. Some models provide for
engine cooling fan operation when the controller is in
the defrost mode. This added feature is part of the
A/C
controller function and is aimed at preventing exces-
sive compressor head temperatures. It also allows the
A/C system to function more efficiently. On some
models during road speed (above
35 mph) conditions
when air flow through the condenser coil is adequate
for efficient cooling, the engine cooling fan will be
turned off. The operation of the cooling fan is con-
trolled by the ECM through the cooling fan relay.
Complete wiring diagrams and diagnosis for the
AIC Electrical System are in Section 8A. Section 8A
also contains additional diagnostic information
regarding air flows and vacuum logic.
Vacuum Lines
Vacuum lines are molded to a connector which
is attached to a vacuum control switch on the control
head assembly.
In case of leakage or hose collapse, it will not be
necessary to replace the entire harness assembly.
Replacement can be made by cutting the hose and
inserting a plastic connector. If an entire hose must be
replaced, cut all hoses off at the connector and then
attach hoses directly to the control head vacuum
switch. (NOTE: The Fiero uses an electric motor to
control mode selection. Therefore, it will not have a
vacuum harness.
)
Vacuum Tank
During heavy acceleration, the vacuum supply
from the carburetor drops. A check valve in the vac-
uum tank maintains vacuum so that, under load condi-
tions, vacuum will be available for continuous use.
REWVS AND SWITCHES
High-Pressure Compresssr Gut-OFF Switch
The high-side, high-pressure cut-off switch in
the rear head of the compressor is a protective device
intended to prevent excessive compressor head pres-
sures and reduce the chance of refrigerant escape
through a safety relief valve. Normally closed, this
switch will open the circuit at a high-side pressure of
approximately 2700
kPa (430 psi 9 20 psi) and
reclose the circuit at approximately 1379 kPa (200 psi
9 50 psi).
Lsw-Pressure Cut-On Switch
Compressor protection is provided on some cars
by a low-pressure cut-off switch which will open in
the event of a low-charge condition. This switch can
be located in the liquid line or in the rear head of the
compressor. This switch will also keep the compres-
sor from running during cold weather.
Pressure eyesing Switch
The refrigeration cycle (on and off operation of
the compressor) is controlled by a switch which
senses the low-side pressure as an indicator of evapo-
rator temperature. The pressure cycling switch is the
freeze protection device in the system and senses
refrigerant pressure on the suction side of the system.
This switch is located on a standard Schrader-type
valve low-side fitting. This switch also provides com-
pressor cut-off during cold weather.
Additional compressor protection results from
the operating characteristics of the low-side pressure
cycling system. If a massive discharge occurs or the
orifice tube becomes plugged, low-side pressures
could be insufficient to close the contacts of the pres-
sure switch. In the event of a low charge, insufficient
cooling accompanied by rapid compressor clutch
cycling will be noticed at high air temperatures.
