GENERAL DESCRIPTION
OPERATION
This system consists of a high pressure cut-out switch,
Air Conditioning (A/C) compressor
relay, A/C thermo
switch relay, A/C controller and the compressor.
The high pressure cut-out switch
(normally closed),
opens when the head pressure gets too high. This will
disable
the A/C clutch, before damage can occur to the
compressor or other
A/C components.
When
A/C control switch is "ON" and the high pressure
switch and thermo switch are
closed, a request signal
is sent to the Engine Control Module (ECM). The ECM
will then energize the A/C clutch through the A/C
clutch relay. The A/C controller which is separate from
the ECM will then turn the A/C cooling fan "ON".
The A/C controller controls the A/C cooling fan, as well
as sending a signal to the ECM on model equipped with
automatic transmission.
The
ECM will disable the A/C clutch during Wide Open
Throttle,
or high power steering loads. The ECM has a
slight delay for clutch engagement to allow for the idle
to slightly increase. Refer to CHART C-1 0 for wiring and
circuit description.
DIAGNOSIS
Chart C-10 should be used for the electrical portion of
the A/C circuit. Section 1 B should be used for
diagnosing the refrigerant portion of the system. The
"Scan tool" will be used in diagnosing the system, as it
has the ability to read the A/C request inputto the ECM,
as well as displaying when the ECM has commanded
the
A/C clutch "ON".
ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
For removal and replacement of A/C components,
refer to
A/C (SECTION 1 B) in this Manual.

AIR CONDITIONING (A/C) SYSTEM FUNCTIONAL CHECK
Circuit Description:
When the Air Conditioning (A/C) diagnostic test mode is selected, the Engine Control Module (ECM) will supply a
ground to the
A/C clutch relay. Battery positive voltage is then supplied to the A/C clutch through the completing
of circuit through the thermo switch relay, which is part of the A/C "ON/OFF" switch circuit. If the A/C system
exhibits high pressure or
an overheating condition exist, the A/C system will be disabled by the open of the A/C
high pressure switch or the A/C thermo switch.
Diagnostic Aids:
The A/C high pressure switch is located in the high pressure side A/C hose.
The
thermo cut-out switch is part of the A/C evaporator mounted under the dash. For further information about
the
A/C system, refer to A/C (SECTION 1 8).

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
PCV VALVE
A Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) system is used
to consume crankcase vapors in the combustion
process instead
of venting to atmosphere. Fresh air
from the throttle body is supplied to the crankcase,
mixed
with blow-by gases and then passed through a
Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) into the intake
manifold.
The primary control is through the PCV (Fig. 6E2-101)
which meters the
flow at a rate depending on manifold
vacuum.
Fig.
6E2-101
To maintain idle quality, the PCV restricts the flow
when intake manifold vacuum is high. If abnormal
operating conditions arise, the system is designed to
allow excessive amounts of blow-by gases to back
flow through the crankcase vent tube into the air
cleaner to be consumed by normal combustion.
A
leaking valve or hose would cause:
• Rough idle.
• Stalling.
•
High idle speed.

DIAGNOSIS
FUNCTIONAL CHECK OF POSITIVE
CRANKCASE VENTILATION (PCV)
If an engine is idling rough, check for a clogged PCV or
plugged hose. Replace as required. Use the following
procedure.
1. Remove PCV from rocker arm cover.
2. Run the engine at idle.
3. If there is no vacuum at valve, check for plugged
hoses or manifold port, or PCV.
Replace plugged or deteriorated hoses.
4. Stop the engine and remove PCV. Remove
PCV hose. Inspect metered orifice for being
restricted or
plugged. If restricted clean orifice.
With this system, any
blow-by in excess of the system
capacity (from a
badly-worn engine, sustained heavy
load, etc.) is exhausted into the intake manifold and is
drawn into the engine. Proper
operation
of the PCV System is dependent
upon a
sealed engine. If oil sledging or dilution is
noted, and the PCV System is functioning properly,
malfunction
indicator lamp for possible cause and
correct to ensure that system
will function as intended.
RESULTS OF INCORRECT OPERATION
A plugged valve or hose may cause:
• Rough idle.
• Stalling
or slow idle speed.
• Oil leaks.
• Oil
in air cleaner.
• Sludge
in engine.
ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
An engine which is operated without any crankcase
ventilation can be damaged. Periodically, inspect the
PCV, hoses
and clamps and replace any showing
signs
of deterioration.

6F-2 ENGINE EXHAUST (V6 3.2L)
When inspecting or replacing exhaust system
components, make sure there is adequate
clearance
from all points on the underbody to prevent over
heating the
floor pan and possible damage to the
passenger
compartment insulation and trim materials.
Check complete exhaust system and nearby body
areas and rear compartment lid for broken, damaged,
missing
or mispositioned parts, open seams, holes,
loose
connections or other deterioration which could
permit exhaust fumes to seep into the rear
compartment or passenger compartment. Dust or
water in the rear compartment may be an indication of
a problem in one of these areas. Any faulty areas
should be corrected immediately.
HANGERS
Various types of hangers are used to support exhaust
system(s). These
include conventional rubber straps,
rubber rings, and rubber
blocks.
The installation of exhaust system supports is very
important,
as improperly installed supports can cause
annoying vibrations
which can be difficult to diagnose.
THREE WAY CATAL VTIC CONVERTER
The three way catalytic converter is an emission
control device added to the exhaust system to reduce
pollutants from the exhaust gas stream.
W CAUTION:
VI • The catalytic converter requires the use of
unleaded fuel only.
Periodic
maintenance of the exhaust system is not
required. If the vehicle is raised for other service, it is
advisable to check the condition of the complete
exhaust system.
A
dual bed monolith catalytic converter is used in
combination
with three way catalytic converter.
Catalytic Types:
Three
way (Reduction/Oxidation) catalyst
The catalyst coating on the three way (reduction)
converter contains
platinum and rhodium which
lowers the levels of oxide of nitrogen (NOx) as well as
hydrocarbons (HC) and carbon monoxide (Co).
GASKET
The gasket must be replaced whenever a new exhaust
pipe,
muffler or catalytic converter is installed.
