grams, ensure that you use the correct sub-section.
HEATER SYSTEM
BLOWER MOTOR
In the RUN or ACCESSORY position, the ignition
switch connects circuit A1 from fuse 6 in the PDC to
circuit A48. Circuit A48 supplies battery voltage to
fuse 4 in the fuse block. Fuse 4 supplies power to the
heat mode switch on circuit C7.
Circuit C43 from the heat mode switch splices to
supply voltage to the blower motor switch and the
blower motor resistor block. The blower motor switch
sets blower motor speed to HIGH, M1, M2, or LOW.
When the blower motor switch is in the LOW posi-
tion, circuit C43 from the heat mode supplies voltage
to the resistor block. Voltage does not pass through
the blower motor switch in the LOW position.
In the M1 position, the blower motor switch sup-
plies voltage to the resistor block on circuit C4. Fromcircuit C4, voltage passes through three resistors in
the resistor block to the blower motor on circuit C1.
In the M2 position, the blower motor supplies volt-
age to the resistor block on circuit C6. From circuit
C6 voltage flows through two resistors to the blower
motor on circuit C1.
In the HIGH position, the blower motor switch con-
nects directly to the blower motor on circuit C1. Volt-
age does not pass through the resistor block in the
HIGH position.
Circuit Z1 provides ground for the blower motor.

HEATER SYSTEM
HEATER
In the RUN position, the ignition switch connects
circuit A1 from fuse 4 in the Power Distribution Cen-
ter (PDC) to circuit A22. Circuit A22 powers a bus
bar in the fuse block that supplies voltage to circuit
C1 through fuse 12.
A heater-off switch in circuit C1 opens when the
heater controls are in the VENT position. When the
heater-off switch closes, circuit C1 supplies battery
voltage to the blower motor switch. The switch sets
blower motor speed to HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW or
OFF.
The switch connects to the blower motor resistor
block in the LOW and MEDIUM positions and di-
rectly to the blower motor in the HIGH position. The
resistor block contains two resistors connected in se-
ries. Circuit C7 connects the resistor block to the
blower motor.

8W - 42 - 2 8W-42 AIR CONDITIONING/HEATERÐYJ VEHICLESJ
HEATERÐYJ
A blend-air heating system is used in YJ vehicles.
The blend-air system provides a constant flow of en-
gine coolant through the heater core.
The air control lever (Fig. 1) operates a door in the
fresh air intake duct. The door controls the amount
of fresh air flow into the heater housing and core.
When the lever is in the OFF position, the intake
door is closed preventing air flow into the housing.
The temperature control lever (Fig. 1) determines
air flow through the heater core. The lever operates
the heater housing blend-air door which controls air
flow through the core.The blower motor is operated by the control switch
(Fig. 1). The switch provides 3 blower speeds for in-
creased air flow in heat or defrost mode.
DEFROSTING
The heater housing has a defroster door to divert
heated air to the defroster duct and outlets (Fig. 2).
Defrost air flow is controlled by the air control lever.
For defroster operation, the air control lever must
be moved to the defrost detent. The detent is identi-
fied by the defrost symbol on the control panel. In
this position, the defroster door diverts the heated
air from the core to the defroster duct outlets.
If air control lever is moved to any position be-
tween heat and defrost, the defroster door does not
close completely. In this mode, the door remains par-
tially open causing heated air to be divided equally
between the heat and defrost outlets.
FRESH AIR VENTILATION
The fresh air ventilating system (Fig. 3) is operated
by the air control lever. When the lever is moved to
VENT position, outside air from the cowl intake
flows into the heater housing. Incoming air is di-
rected into the vehicle interior through vent doors in
the housing.
A door in the intake duct controls air flow into the
duct. The door is operated by a vacuum motor. The

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

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-
