EVAPORATOR COIL:The coil is located in the
A/C housing. Its function is to remove heat and de-
humidify the air before it enters the vehicle.
FIN SENSING CYCLING CLUTCH SWITCH:
The switch is attached to the evaporator coil with the
temperature sensing probe inserted into the coil fins.
This switch controls evaporator temperature and pre-
vents condensate water on the evaporator coil from
freezing. It does this by sending signals to the Pow-
ertrain Control Module (PCM) to cycling the com-
pressor clutch on and off. This switch is used onXJ
only.
FILTER-DRIER:The drier is used to remove any
traces of moisture from the refrigerant system. A
sight glass is located on top of the filter drier. It is
used as a diagnostic tool to observe refrigerant flow.
HIGH PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE:The valve is
located on the filter drier. The valve is used to pre-
vent excessive high pressure build of 3445 to 4135
kPa (500 to 600 psi) and above. This prevents dam-
age to the compressor and other system components.
LOW-PRESSURE HIGH-PRESSURE CUT-OFF
SWITCH:The switch is located on the filter drier
and is wired in series with compressor clutch. When
the pressure drops down to 193 kPa (28 psi) the
switch interrupts the power to the compressor clutch.
When the pressure increases above 3100 to 3375 kPa
(450 to 490 psi) the switch interrupts the power to
the compressor clutch.
THERMOSTAT:The thermostat is located in the
evaporator housing. The thermostat temperature
sensing probe is inserted into the evaporator coil. Its
function is to cycles the compressor clutch on and off.
This switch controls temperature and prevents con-
densate water on the evaporator coil from freezing.
The thermostat is used on theYJonly.
REFRIGERANT LINES:The lines are used to
carry the refrigerant between the various system
components.
SERVICE PORTS:The high pressure service port
is located on the discharge line near the compressor.
The low pressure service port is located on the suc-
tion line near the compressor. These ports are used
to attach A/C gauges. After servicing the refrigerant
system, always install service port caps.
REFRIGERANT
XJ and YJ vehicles use a new type of refrigerant
called R-134a. It is a non-toxic, non-flammable, clear
color-less liquified gas.
R-134a refrigerant is not compatible with R-12 re-
frigerant. A small amount of R-12 in a R-134a system
will cause compressor failure, oil sludge or poor air
conditioning performance.R-134a refrigerant requires a special type of com-
pressor oil (SP20 PAG). When adding oil, make sure
that it is designed to be used in a R-134a system and
the SD7H15 compressor.
Service ports have been designed to ensure that
the system is not accidentally filled with R-12 refrig-
erant.
REFRIGERANT EQUIPMENT
WARNING: EYE PROTECTION MUST BE USED
WHEN SERVICING AN AIR CONDITIONING REFRIG-
ERANT SYSTEM. TURN OFF (ROTATE CLOCKWISE)
ALL VALVES ON THE EQUIPMENT BEING USED
BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH THIS OPERATION.
PERSONNEL INJURY CAN RESULT.
Chrysler Corporation recommends a (R-134a) recy-
cling device that meets SAE standard J2210 be used
when servicing the refrigerant system. Contact an
automotive service equipment supplier for refrigerant
recycling equipment that is available in your area.
Refer to the operating instructions provided with the
recycling equipment for proper operation.
MANIFOLD GAUGE SET
CAUTION: DO NOT use an R-12 manifold gauge set
on an R-134a system. The refrigerants are not com-
patible and system damage will result.
A manifold gauge set (Fig. 1) may be needed in
conjunction with the charging and or recovery/recy-
cling device. The service hoses on the gauge set being
used should have manual (turn wheel) or automatic
back flow valves at the service port connector ends.
This will prevent refrigerant from being release into
the atmosphere.
LOW PRESSURE GAUGE HOSE
The low pressure hose (BLUE with BLACK STRIP)
should be attached to the charging/service port. This
port is located at the right front of the engine com-
partment in the condenser-to-evaporator line.
HIGH PRESSURE GAUGE HOSE
The high pressure hose (RED with BLACK STRIP)
should be attached to the discharge/service port. This
port is located on the compressor plumbing or mani-
fold.
RECOVERY/RECYCLING/EVACUATION/
CHARGING HOSE
The center manifold hose (YELLOW or WHITE
with BLACK STRIP) is used to recover, evacuate and
charge the refrigerant system. When the low or high
pressure valves on the manifold gauge set are
opened, the refrigerant in the system will escape
through this hose.

AIR CONDITIONING CONTROLSÐXJ VEHICLES
The A/C Compressor Clutch is controlled by several
components: the Pressure Cut-Off Switch, Cycling
Clutch Switch, Clutch Relay and Powertrain Control
Module (PCM).
Powertrain Control Module may delay A/C clutch
engagement up to 30 seconds.
Refer to Group 8W Wiring Diagrams for wiring and
terminals. Use volt ohmmeter to test switches.
A/C COMPRESSOR CLUTCH
The clutch assembly consists of a stationary elec-
tromagnetic coil, hub bearing pulley assembly, and
clutch plate. When the coil is energized the plate is
magnetically engaged with the pulley and turns the
compressor shaft.
A/C COMPRESSOR CLUTCH TEST
(1) Unplug clutch coil connector.
(2) Connect a jumper wire from the battery posi-
tive post to the clutch coil terminal. The clutch
should engage, if not leave jumper wire connected
and go to next step.
(3) Connect a jumper wire from clutch coil frame to
chassis ground. The clutch should engage if not re-
pair clutch coil ground or replace coil.
A/C COMPRESSOR CLUTCH RELAY
The A/C compressor clutch relay controls the 12-
volt source to the A/C clutch. The relay is activated
when the PCM receives a A/C request signal from the
fin-sensed cycling clutch switch. The PCM then sends
a ground signal to the relay. The relay is activated
and sends 12-volts to the clutch coil which energizes
the clutch. The relay is located in the power distribu-
tion center.
COMPRESSOR CLUTCH RELAY TEST
For test procedure refer to Powertrain Diagnostic
Service Manual for A/C clutch relay circuit test.
LOW-PRESSURE HIGH-PRESSURE CUT-OFF
SWITCH
The pressure cut-off switch is located on the filter
drier and is wired in series with compressor clutch.
The switch interrupts the power to the compressor
clutch circuit when the pressure drops to 193 kPa (28
psi) or increases above 3100 to 3375 kPa (450 to 490
psi).
PRESSURE CUT-OFF SWITCH TEST
(1) Verify system has correct refrigerant charge.
(2) Turn ignition switch to RUN, A/C blower switch
to ON and control set to MAX.
(3) Unplug pressure cut-off switch and test feed
circuit from select switch. It should be battery volt-
age if not, repair open to select switch.
(4) Test for continuity between the switch termi-
nals. If continuity is not present recover refrigerant
from the system. Replace switch, evacuate and re-
charge system.
FIN SENSING CYCLING CLUTCH SWITCH
The switch is attached to the evaporator coil with
the temperature sensing probe inserted into the coil
fins. This switch prevents condensate water on the
evaporator coil from freezing. It does this by sending
signals to the PCM to cycling the compressor clutch
on and off.
FIN-SENSED CYCLING CLUTCH SWITCH TEST
Test area ambient temperature should be around
21ÉC (70ÉF) for test.
(1) Verify system has correct refrigerant charge.
(2) Start Engine and turn on A/C.
(3) If the compressor clutch cycles ON and OFF 2
to 3 times per minute the cycling clutch switch is
normal. The ambient temperature should be between
20ÉC-30ÉC (68ÉF-90ÉF). Above 32ÉC (90ÉF) the com-
pressor clutch may stay engaged (non cycling) due to
the high heat load, this condition is normal. If the
compressor clutch fails to engage go to next step.
(4) Disconnect wiring harness connector from
switch. With a volt meter test feed circuit from cut-

continuity) repair ground circuit. If circuit test OK
and clutch does not engage refer to Powertrain Diag-
nostic Service Manual for A/C clutch circuit test.
AIR CONDITIONING CONTROLSÐYJ VEHICLES
The air conditioning circuit consists of 3 segments;
battery supply, blower motor and compressor clutch.
The 3 segments have a common connection point at
the blower switch.
The power supply circuit extends from the HTR/
FAN fuse to the blower switch. From the blower
switch, battery feed is routed to the blower motor
and compressor clutch circuit.
Refer to Group 8W Wiring Diagrams for wiring
schematic and terminals. Use volt ohmmeter to test
switches.
COMPRESSOR CLUTCH
The clutch assembly consists of a stationary elec-
tromagnetic coil, hub bearing pulley assembly, and
clutch plate. When the coil is energized the plate is
magnetically engaged with the pulley and turns the
compressor shaft.
COMPRESSOR CLUTCH TEST
(1) Unplug clutch coil connector.
(2) Connect jumper wire from battery positive post
to clutch coil connector. The clutch should engage, if
not leave jumper wire connected and go to next step.
(3) Connect jumper wire from clutch coil frame to
chassis ground. The clutch should engage, if not re-
pair clutch coil ground or replace coil.
A/C COMPRESSOR CLUTCH RELAY
The A/C compressor clutch relay controls the 12-
volt source to the A/C clutch. The relay is activated
when the PCM receives a A/C request signal. The
PCM then sends a ground signal to the relay. The re-
lay is activated and sends 12-volts to the clutch coil
which energizes the clutch. The relay is located in
the power distribution center.
COMPRESSOR CLUTCH RELAY TEST
For test procedure refer to Powertrain Diagnostic
Service Manual for A/C clutch relay circuit test.
LOW-PRESSURE HIGH-PRESSURE CUT-OFF
SWITCH
The pressure cut-off switch is located on the filter
drier and is wired in series with compressor clutch.
The switch interrupts the power to the compressorclutch circuit when the pressure drops to 193 kPa (28
psi) or increases above 3100 to 3375 kPa (450 to 490
psi).
PRESSURE CUT-OFF SWITCH TEST
(1) Turn ignition switch to RUN, A/C blower switch
to ON and control set to MAX.
(2) Unplug pressure cut-off switch connector and
test feed circuit from the thermostatic, should be bat-
tery voltage. If not, proceed to thermostatic control
tests.
(3) Test for continuity between the switch termi-
nals. If continuity is not present recover refrigerant
system, replace switch, evacuate and recharge sys-
tem.
THERMOSTATIC CONTROL
Cycling of the compressor and therefore the tem-
perature of the outlet air is regulated by the thermo-
static control. A thermal sensor extends from the
control to the evaporator housing. When the temper-
ature of the evaporator drops below the set tempera-
ture, the thermostatic control opens the clutch
circuit. The circuit remains open until evaporator
temperature rises above the set temperature.
THERMOSTATIC CONTROL TEST
(1) Turn ignition switch to RUN, A/C blower switch
to ON and thermostatic control set to MAX cool.
(2) Test thermostatic control feed terminal from
blower switch, should be battery voltage. If not re-
pair open from blower switch.
(3) Test thermostatic control output terminal to
pressure cut-out switch, should be battery voltage. If
not, replace thermostatic control.
BLOWER MOTOR SWITCH
The blower switch controls blower motor speed.
The blower motor segment consists of the 3 wires
from the blower switch to the motor. Through the
switch, the 3 wires connect the motor brushes to bat-
tery supply. When connected to battery feed, the sep-
arate brushes provide the 3 blower speeds LO, MED,
and HIGH.
