Troubleshooting
Reference Ghart
. Any abnormality must be correctsd before continuing the test.. Because of the precise measurgments needed, use a multimeter when testing.
Before performing any troubleshooting procedures check:. Fus€s .r No. 35120 A), *1 No. 33 (20 A), ), No. 13(7.5A). Grounds No. G401, G201, G'151, G101. Cleanliness and tightness of all connectors*1: In the under-hood fuse/relay box*2: In the under-dash fuse/relay box
SYMPTOMREMEDY
Radiator fan does not run 8t all.Perform the procedures in the flowchan (see page 22-8).
Condenser fan does not run at all.Perform the procedures in the flowchart (see page 22-10).
Both fans (radiator and condenser) do not
run for engine cooling, but they both run
with the Ay'C on.
Perform the procedures in the flowchan (see page 22-12).
Eoth fans do not run at all.Perform the procedures in the flowchart (see page 22-13).

A/G System Service
Performance Test
The performance test will help determine if the air con-
ditioner system is operating within specitications.
Only use service equipment that is U.L.-listed and is cer-
tified to meet the requirements of SAE J2210 to remove
HFC-134a {R-134a) from the air conditioner system.
CAUTION: Exposure to air conditioner relrig€rant and
lubricant vapor ot mist can irritate eyes, nose and
throat. Avoid breathing the air conditioner rstrigerant
and lubricant vapor or mi3t.
It accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work
area before resuming service.
R-134a service equipment or vehicle air conditioner sys-
tems should not be pressure tested or leak tested with
comPressed atr.

Additional health and safety information may be
obtained from the refrigerant and lubricant manufactur-
ers.
1. Connect a R-134a refrigerant Recovery/Recycling/
Charging System to the car, as shown, iollowing
the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
2. Insert a thermometer in the center vent outlet.
Determine the relative humidity and air temperature
by calling the local weather information line,
3. Test conditions:
. Avoid direct sunlight.
. Open hood.
. Open front doors
. Set the temperature control lever to MAX COOL,
the mode control switch on VENT and the recir-
culation control switch on RECIRCULATE.
. Slide the heater fan switch on MAX
. Run the engine at 1,500 rPm
. No driver or passengers in vehicle.
4. After running the air conditioning for 10 minutes
under the above test conditions. read the delivery
temperature from the thermometer in the dash vent
and the high and low system pressure from the A,/C
gauges.
