off switch for battery voltage. If no voltage is present
test pressure cut-off switch. If voltage is present go
to next step.
(5) With ohmmeter test harness connector ground
circuit for continuity to ground. If circuit is open, (no
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.
BLOWER MOTOR SWITCH TEST
(1) Turn ignition to RUN position.
(2) Test battery side of fuse for battery voltage. If
not, repair open from ignition switch.
(3) Test A/C blower switch feed circuit from fuse
box should be battery voltage. If not, repair open
from fuse panel.
(4) Test A/C blower switch LO terminal with
blower switch in LO, should be battery voltage. If
not, replace switch.
(5) Test A/C blower switch MED terminal with
blower switch in MED, should be battery voltage. If
not, replace switch.

COMPRESSOR SERVICE
DESCRIPTION
The A/C system uses a Sanden SD7H15 compres-
sor. The compressor is a 7 piston design.
The clutch used on the compressor consists of 3 ba-
sic components: the pulley and bearing hub, clutch
plate and field coil (Fig. 1). The pulley and field coil
are attached to the front of the compressor with ta-
pered snap rings. The compressor has a splined shaft
and the clutch plate is retained on the shaft with a
self-locking nut.
