TRANSMISSION COOLER SERVICE
Main Cooler
The transmission main cooler is located in the ra-
diator. The main cooler can be flushed when neces-
sary, however, the cooler is not a repairable
component. If the cooler is damaged, plugged, or
leaking, the radiator will have to be replaced.
Auxiliary Cooler
The auxiliary cooler is mounted in front of the ra-
diator at the driver side of the vehicle (Fig. 48). The
cooler can be flushed when necessary, while mounted
in the vehicle. The cooler can also be removed for ac-
cess, repair, or replacement as needed.
The main and auxiliary coolers should both be
flushed whenever a transmission or converter clutch
malfunction generates sludge, debris, or particles of
clutch friction material.
Cooler Service
The main cooler (and radiator) and the auxiliary
cooler can be removed for service or access to other
components. Auxiliary cooler removal requires that
the front bumper and radiator support be removed
for access to the cooler lines and attaching bracket.
REVERSE FLUSHING MAIN AND AUXILIARY
COOLERS AND COOLER LINES
Reverse flushing the cooler and lines will prevent
sludge and particles from flowing back into the
transmission after repair. The flushing procedure ap-
plies to standard (in-radiator) coolers and auxiliary
coolers equally.
Pressure equipment is preferred for reverse flush-
ing. However, reverse flushing can be performed us-
ing hand operated equipment as described in the
following procedure.
(1) Disconnect cooler lines at transmission and at
auxiliary cooler (Figs. 48 and 49).
(2) Position drain pan under cooler line to catch
material flushed through coolers and lines.
(3) Reverse flush each cooler using hand operated
suction gun filled with mineral spirits. Insert gun
nozzle (or hose) into cooler inlet (return) line. Then
force mineral spirits through into line and through
cooler.(4) Continue reverse flushing until fluid exiting in-
let (pressure) line is clear and free of debris/residue.
(5) Replace radiator if fluid cannot be pumped
through main cooler. Replace auxiliary cooler if leaks
are evident, or if fluid cannot be pumped through it.
(6) Clear flushing materials from coolers and lines
with short pulses of compressed air. Insert air gun
nozzle into cooler inlet (return) line and continue
short pulses of air until all fluid is cleared from
cooler and lines.
(7) Pump one quart of fresh automatic transmis-
sion fluid through cooler and lines before reconnect-
ing cooler lines.
FLOW TESTING TRANSMISSION MAIN
COOLER
Cooler flow is checked by measuring the amount of
fluid flow through the cooler in a 20 second time pe-
riod. The test is performed with the engine running
and transmission in neutral. Fluid is then pumped
through the cooler by the transmission oil pump.
(1) Disconnect cooler inlet line at transmission fit-
ting.
(2) Securely attach hose to end of inlet line and po-
sition line in a one quart test container.
(3) Add extra quart of fluid to transmission.
(4) Use stopwatch to check flow test time.
(5) Shift transmission into neutral and set parking
brake.
(6) Start and run engine at curb idle speed and im-
mediately note cooler flow. Approximately one quart
of fluid should flow into test container in 20 second
period.
(7) If cooler flow is intermittent, flows less than
one quart in 20 seconds, or does not flow at all,
cooler is faulty and must be replaced.
TRANSMISSION COOLER LINE FITTINGS
Quick disconnect fittings are used at the transmis-
sion cooler line connections. The fitting seals and
guides are serviceable.
Replace the seals and guides whenever the fittings
exhibit leakage, or will not properly snap into place.

COMPRESSOR OIL LEVEL
The compressor oil level must be checked and ad-
justed if the system has been discharged rapidly, or
when a component has been replaced. If a replace-
ment compressor is being installed, it must be filled
with new compressor oil (Suniso 5GS, or equivalent).
The normal quantity of oil required for the com-
pressor and entire system is 136 ml (4.6 fluid oz.) for
SD 709 compressor. DO NOT overfill the compressor.
Excessive amounts of oil in the system will hinder
compressor operation and reduce A/C performance.
CAUTION: The compressor is a high speed unit.
Satisfactory operation is dependent on sufficient lu-
brication; however, excess oil will hinder A/C per-
formance.
Two oil level checking procedures are necessary.
Use Procedure (A) when the compressor is being re-
placed and the system was discharged properly (no
oil loss). Use Procedure (B) for routine maintenance
or when checking oil level after replacing a system
component.
In cases where rapid loss of refrigerant and oil
occurred, the system must be evacuated and
purged. Then the compressor must be filled with
the necessary amount of oil to fill the entire sys-
tem.
PROCEDURE A
(1) Remove the oil filler plug, discharge cap and
suction port caps from the original and replacement
compressor.
(2) Use a clean container to drain the oil from the
replacement compressor. Drain the oil through the
oil filler plug hole, the discharge and suction. Then
rotate clutch front plate several times to push the oil
on cylinder out to discharge chamber of cylinder
head and drain the oil from discharge port.
(3) Drain the oil from the original compressor into
a measuring cup or graduated beaker in the same
way as Step 2. Note the amount of oil drained.
(4) Fill the replacement compressor with the same
amount of oil drained from the original compressor
plus 30 ml (1 fluid oz.).
FOR EXAMPLE:ÐIf the old compressor contained
103.5 ml (3.5 fluid oz.) of oil, fill the replacement
compressor with a total of 133 ml (4.5 fluid oz.) of oil.
PROCEDURE B
(1) Start the engine and operate the engine at idle.
(2) Operate the air conditioning system for 10 min-
utes to return the maximum amount of oil in the sys-
tem to the compressor.(3) Stop the engine and disconnect the magnetic
clutch feed wire.
(4) Front-seat the discharge and suction service
valves.
(5) Determine the mounting angle.
(a) Position an Angle Gauge across the flat sur-
faces of the front mounting ears.
(b) Center the bubble.
(c) Read the mounting angle to the closest de-
gree.
(d) These vehicles should have 0É mounting an-
gle.
(6) Remove the oil filler plug. Position internal
parts by rotation of front plate counterweight to 30É
angle (Fig. 5).
(7) Insert the dipstick tool to its STOP position.
The Dipstick Tool is part of Tool Kit 7851. The stop
is the angle near the top of the dipstick. The bottom
surface of the angle must be flush with the surface of
the oil filler hole.
(8) Remove dipstick. Count increments of oil.
(9) Use mounting angle table to determine correct
oil level for the compressor (Fig. 6).
(10) If the increments read on the dipstick do not
match the table, add or subtract oil to the mid-range
value.
FOR EXAMPLE:ÐIf the mounting angle is 10É
and the dipstick increment is 3, add oil in 30 ml (1
fluid oz.) increments until 5 is read on dipstick.
(11) Check that the sealing O-ring is not twisted.
(12) Seat and O-ring must be clean.

BLOWER CONTROLSÐXJ VEHICLES
DESCRIPTION
The blower motor delivers air to the inside of the
vehicle. Its speed is controlled by the blower switch
and the blower resistors. With the switch in LO, part
of the battery voltage is supplied to the motor
through all of the resistors. The motor runs slowly.
As the blower switch is moved to a higher speed, the
switch allows more voltage to be applied to the
blower motor, which will increase its speed. When
the switch is in HI, the blower resistors are bypassed
and battery voltage is applied directly to the blower
motor. The motor runs at the fastest speed in this
mode.
DIAGNOSIS
Refer to the Group 8W, Wiring Diagrams for com-
plete system schematic.
1. BLOWER MOTOR INOPERATIVE
²Remove and inspect fuse. If the fuse is blown, re-
place fuse.
2. BLOWER MOTOR INOPERATIVE (HI Posi-
tion)

AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMÐXJ VEHICLES
DESCRIPTION
The A/C Compressor Clutch is belt-driven by the
engine. A clutch, operated by a solenoid, automati-
cally turns the compressor on and off to control evap-
orator icing.
The A/C Compressor Clutch operation is controlled
by several components: the A/C Low-Pressure
Switch, Thermostat Switch, Fuel Pump Relay, A/C
Clutch Relay and the Engine Controller.The A/C low pressure switch opens when there is
not enough refrigerant in the system. When this hap-
pens, voltage is no longer present at the Engine Con-
troller. The Engine Controller will turn off the A/C
clutch relay. With the proper refrigerant level in the
system, the low pressure switch remains closed.
When the evaporator temperature is low enough to
ice the cooling coils, the thermostat switch opens.
The Engine Controller will turn off the A/C clutch.
The thermostat switch closes when the temperature
rises. The Engine Controller will then turn the A/C
clutch relay on again.
DIAGNOSIS
Refer to the Group 8W, Wiring Diagrams for com-
plete system schematic.
With engine running, Engine Controller may delay
A/C clutch up to 30 seconds.
1. A/C COMPRESSOR CLUTCH INOPERA-
TIVE

gine Controller Terminals 27, 28 and 34.
HEATING SYSTEMÐYJ VEHICLES
DESCRIPTION
The blower motor circuit begins at a 25 amp fuse
that receives its battery feed from the ignition
switch. From the fuse the circuit extends to a micro-
switch mounted on the heater control.
The micro-switch is normally closed is operated by
a cam on the heater control lever. In all heater con-
trol lever positions, except OFF and VENT, the
blower motor electrical circuit is complete. In the
OFF and VENT positions the cam depresses the mi-
cro-switch lever opening the electrical circuit to the
blower motor.
