COOLDOWN TEST ENTRY
TO INITIATE TESTS:
²Set Blower motor ON HIGH
²Set Mode position to Panel
²Open all A/C outlets
²Set Temperature to Cold (Both slide pots if
equipped)
²Depress WASH and A/C simultaneously for 5
Seconds
NOTE: Prior to start of test, If the evaporator is
already cold, the system will fail test. To correct,
operate system with A/C OFF and the blower motor
ON high for three minutes prior to starting test.
RESULTS:
²All LED's will turn on for 5 Seconds
²Cooldown Test is running when A/C and
RECIRC. are alternately flashing. If A/C and
RECIRC. are flashing simultaneously, Cooldown has
failed.
CALIBRATION DIAGNOSTICS AND
COOLDOWN ABORT
Test can be aborted by doing one of the following:
²Depressing Rear Window Defogger, RECIRC and
Rear Wiper buttons.²Cycling Ignition OFF and then ON.
²Control will automatically abort after 15 min-
utes from the time Calibration Diagnostics and
Cooldown was entered.
The HVAC control module will return to normal
operation or may indicate unsuccessful Calibration
Diagnostics or Cooldown test by LED's flashing
simultaneously.
EEPROM DATA
Calibration Diagnostics, Cooldown Status and
evaporator temperature Fin Sensor values are stored
in an EEPROM memory internal to the control. The
microcomputer within the HVAC control module uses
this information:
²To determine if Cooldown needs to run
²For proper position of the Heater-A/C unit
assembly doors
ACTUATOR CALIBRATION AND
DIAGNOSTICS.
NOTE: Do not run actuators unless they are prop-
erly mounted on the HVAC control module.
Actuator end point calibration takes approximately
60 seconds. The REAR WIPER and INTERMITTENT
LED's will flash alternately during the test. The con-
trol will cycle the Blend actuator(s) to the Heat stop
first then back to Cold. After the Blend actuator(s)
have been calibrated the Mode actuator will be cycled
to Defrost and then to Panel. Successful calibration
is defined as actuator travel falling within their min-
imum and maximum limits.
BLEND/PASSENGER ACTUATOR BACKGROUND
The Blend/Passenger Actuator can move the tem-
perature door in two directions. When the voltage at
Pin 12 of the control module is high, about 11.5 volts,
and the voltage at Pin 17 is low, about 1.5 volts, the
door will move towards the Heat position. When Pin
17 is High and Pin 12 is Low the door will move
towards the Cold position. When both Pins are high
or both Pins are low, the actuator will not move. The
Blend/Passenger feedback signal is a voltage signal
that is supplied by the actuator to the control. The
signal will be about 4.0 volts in the Heat position
and 1.0 volt in the Cold position. As the position of
the Blend/Passenger actuator changes, so will the
feedback signal. The feedback signal is necessary for
the correct positioning of the temperature door.
DRIVER ACTUATOR BACKGROUND
The Driver Actuator can move the temperature
door in two directions. When the voltage at Pin 15 of
the control module is high, about 11.5 volts, and the
voltage at Pin 13 is low, about 1.5 volts the door will

CHRYSLER VOYAGER 1996 Service Manual move towards the Cold position. When Pin 13 is High
and Pin 15 is Low the door will move towards the
Heat position. When both Pins are high or when both
Pins are low, the actuator will not move. The D

move towards the Cold position. When Pin 13 is High
and Pin 15 is Low the door will move towards the
Heat position. When both Pins are high or when both
Pins are low, the actuator will not move. The Driver
feedback signal is a voltage signal that is supplied by
the actuator to the control. The signal will be about
4.0 volts in the Heat position and 1.0 volt in the Cold
position. As the position of the Driver Actuator
changes, so will the feedback signal. The feedback
signal is necessary for the correct positioning of the
temperature door.
MODE ACTUATOR BACKGROUND
The Mode actuator can move the mode door in two
directions. When the voltage at Pin 18 of the control
module is high, about 11.5 volts, and the voltage at
Pin 12 is low, about 1.5 volts the door will move
towards the Panel position. When Pin 12 is High and
Pin 18 is Low the door will move towards the Defrost
position. When both Pin are high or when both Pins
are low, the actuator will not move. The Mode door
feedback signal is a voltage signal that is supplied by
the actuator to the control. The signal will be about
4.5 volts in the Panel position and 0.5 volts in the
Defrost position. As the position of the Mode actuator
changes, so will the feedback signal. The feedback
signal is necessary for the correct positioning of the
mode door.
FAIL CODES/LEVEL DISPLAY
Fail Codes/Level are displayed using the REAR
WIPER and INTERMITTENT LED's flashing in the
sequence indicated below. The REAR WIPER LED
represents the Level and the INTERMITTENT LED
represents the Value. After Calibration/Diagnostics is
completed, the control will begin flashing Level 1
codes. Depressing the WASH button will cycle to
Level 2, depressing WASH again will cycle to Level 3.
Each time the WASH button is depressed will cycle
to the next level. After Level 5 is reached, you will
cycle back to Level 1. If the Control is a Heater Only
you will only cycle from Levels 1 to 3.
TEMPERATURE AND MODE POTENTIOMETER
DIAGNOSTICS
The Temperature and Mode Potentiometer can be
tested after calibration is complete by pressing the
WASH button and cycling to Levels 2, 3 or 5 as dis-
played by the REAR WIPER LED. On Heater Only
units you can only cycle to Levels 2 and 3. In each
individual test the INTERMITTENT LED flash rate
will change as the Temperature or Mode potentiome-
ter is moved from one end to the other, see Potenti-
ometer vs. Position and Flash Rate table.
EVAPORATOR PROBE TEMPERATURE
DIAGNOSTICS
The evaporator probe can be tested by using the
INTERMITTENT LED to display the actual temper-
ature the sensor is reading. The HVAC control mod-
ule can only display temperatures from 1 to 99
degrees. To read the temperature, perform the follow-

²No charge
²Compressor not operating
Verify that the test was done with the evaporator
at room temperature. The test consists of starting
the compressor and measuring the time it takes for
the evaporator temperature to fall 7ÉC (20ÉF). If the
compressor has been running, the evaporator is cold
already and will not be capable of falling 7ÉC (20ÉF).
If the test was run with a cold evaporator, turn A/C
off and turn the blower motor switch to high position
for 3 to 5 minutes till the evaporator is to room tem-
perature. Then repeat the Calibration Diagnostic and
Cooldown test.
If refrigerant system is performing properly and
the system will not pass test. Repeat the Calibration
Diagnostic and Cooldown test to determine if the
evaporator temperature FIN sensor has developed an
open or a short circuit. If the HVAC control module
still passes Calibration test, verify Cooldown test
manually with a pocket thermometer. The outlet air
temperature must drop at least 7ÉC (20ÉF) within
two minutes. If the vehicle passes with the manual
thermometer, take HVAC control to level 4 (evapora-
tor probe temperature readout) and repeat the
Cooldown test. Ensure the evaporator is at room tem-
perature before starting test. Check if evaporator
probe will drop the temperature 7ÉC (20ÉF) in two
minutes. If the Evaporator Probe is found to be
faulty, check that the sensor is positioned in the
evaporator fins properly. If not, correct and repeat
test. If OK, replace the evaporator probe.
Once the repairs are completed, repeat the Calibra-
tion Diagnostic and Cooldown test. Repeating the
test is necessary to clear the fault codes.
A/C PERFORMANCE TEST
The air conditioning system is designed to remove
heat and humidity from the air entering the passen-
ger compartment. The evaporator, located in the
heater A/C unit, is cooled to temperatures near the
freezing point. As warm damp air passes over the
fins in the evaporator, moisture in the air condenses
to water, dehumidifying the air. Condensation on the
evaporator fins reduces the evaporators ability to
absorb heat. During periods of high heat and humid-
ity, an air conditioning system will be less effective.
With the instrument control set to RECIRC, only air
from the passenger compartment passes through the
evaporator. As the passenger compartment air dehu-
midifies, A/C performance levels rise.
PERFORMANCE TEST PROCEDURE
Review Safety Precautions and Warnings in this
group before proceeding with this procedure. Air tem-
perature in test room and on vehicle must be 21É C
(70ÉF) minimum for this test.
NOTE: When connecting the service equipment
coupling to the line fitting, verify that the valve of
the coupling is fully closed. This will reduce the
amount of effort required to make the connection.
(1) Connect a tachometer and manifold gauge set.
(2) Set control to A/C, RECIRC, and PANEL, tem-
perature lever on full cool and blower on high.
(3) Start engine and hold at 1000 rpm with A/C
clutch engaged.
(4) Engine should be warmed up with doors and
windows closed.
(5) Insert a thermometer in the left center A/C
outlet and operate the engine for five minutes. The
A/C clutch may cycle depending on ambient condi-
tions.
(6) With the A/C clutch engaged, compare the dis-
charge air temperature to the A/C Performance Tem-
peratures chart (Fig. 7).
(7) If the discharge air temperature fails to meet
the specifications in the performance temperature
chart. Refer to the Refrigerant Service Procedures for
further diagnosis.
A/C PRESSURE TRANSDUCER
The work area temperature must not be below
10ÉC (50ÉF) to test the compressor clutch circuit.
Before starting to test the transducer ensure that the
wire connector is clean of corrosion and connected
properly.
(1) With gear selector in park or neutral and park
brake set, start engine and allow to idle.

The blower speed switch, in conjunction with the
resistor block, supplies the blower motor with varied
voltage.
CAUTION: Stay clear of the blower motor and resis-
tor block (Hot). Do not operate the blower motor
with the resistor block removed from the heater A/C
housing.
Refer to the Blower Motor Vibration/Noise chart in
this section for diagnosis.
COMPRESSOR NOISE DIAGNOSIS
Excessive noise while the A/C is being used, can be
caused by loose mounts, clutch, or high operating
pressure. Verify compressor drive belt condition,
proper refrigerant charge and head pressure before
compressor repair is performed.
COMPRESSOR CLUTCH/COIL
The air conditioning compressor clutch electrical
circuit is controlled by the Powertrain Control Mod-ule. It is located in the engine compartment outboard
of the battery.
If the compressor clutch does not engage verify
refrigerant charge.
If the compressor clutch still does not engage check
for battery voltage at the pressure transducer located
on the liquid line. If voltage is not detected, refer to:
²Group 8W, Wiring diagrams.
²Powertrain Diagnostic Procedures manual for
diagnostic information.
If voltage is detected at the pressure transducer,
connect pressure transducer and check for battery
voltage between the compressor clutch connector ter-
minals.
If voltage is detected, perform A/C Clutch Coil
Tests.
TESTS
(1) Verify battery state of charge. (Test indicator in
battery should be green).
(2) Connect an ampmeter (0-10 ampere scale) in
series with the clutch coil terminal. Use a voltmeter
(0-20 volt scale) with clip leads measuring voltage
across the battery and A/C clutch.
(3) With A/C control in A/C mode and blower at
low speed, start the engine and run at normal idle.
(4) The A/C clutch should engage immediately and
the clutch voltage should be within two volts of the
battery voltage. If the A/C clutch does not engage,
test the fuse.
(5) The A/C clutch coil is acceptable if the current
draw is 2.0 to 3.7 amperes at 11.5-12.5 volts at clutch
coil. This is with the work area temperature at 21ÉC
(70ÉF). If voltage is more than 12.5 volts, add electri-
cal loads by turning on electrical accessories until
voltage reads below 12.5 volts.

EXPANSION VALVE
NOTE: Special effort must be used to keep all
R-134a system components moisture-free. Moisture
in the oil is very difficult to remove and will cause a
reliability problem with the compressor.
TESTS
NOTE: Expansion valve tests should be performed
after compressor tests.
Review Safety Precautions and Warnings in this
group. The work area and vehicle temperature must
be 21ÉC to 27ÉC (70ÉF to 85ÉF). To test the expansion
valve:
NOTE: Liquid CO2 is required to test the expansion
valve. It is available from most welding supply facil-
ities. CO2 is also available from companies which
service and sell fire extinguishers.
(1) Connect a charging station or manifold gauge
set to the refrigerant system service ports. Verify the
refrigerant charge level.
(2) Close all doors, windows and vents to the pas-
senger compartment.
(3) Set heater A/C control to A/C, full heat,
FLOOR, and high blower.
(4) Start the engine and allow to idle (1000 rpm).
After the engine has reached running temperature,
allow the passenger compartment to heat up. This
will create the need for maximum refrigerant flow
into the evaporator.
(5) I
f the refrigerant charge is sufficient, discharge
(high pressure) gauge should read 965 to 1655 kPa (140
to 240 psi). Suction (low pressure) gauge should read
140 kPa to 207 kPa (20 psi to 30 psig). If system cannot
achieve proper pressure readings, replace the expan-
sion valve. If pressure is correct, proceed with test.
WARNING: PROTECT SKIN AND EYES FROM CON-
TACTING CO2 PERSONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.
(6) If suction side low pressure is within specified
range, freeze the expansion valve control head for 30
seconds. Use a super cold substance (liquid CO2).Do
not spray R-134a Refrigerant on the expansion
valve for this test.Suction side low pressure should
drop by 10 psi. If not, replace expansion valve.(7) Allow expansion valve to thaw. The low pres-
sure gauge reading should stabilize at 140 kPa to
240 kPa (20 psi to 30 psig). If not, replace expansion
valve.
(8) When expansion valve test is complete, test
A/C overall performance. Remove all test equipment
before returning vehicle to use.

Check the coolant level, drive belt tension, vacuum
line connections, radiator air flow and fan operation.
Start engine and allow to warm up to normal tem-
perature.
WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE RADIATOR CAP
WHEN ENGINE IS HOT, PERSONAL INJURY CAN
RESULT.
If vehicle has been run recently, wait 15 minutes
before removing cap. Place a rag over the cap and
turn it to the first safety stop. Allow pressure to
escape through the overflow tube. When the system
stabilizes, remove the cap completely.
MAXIMUM HEATER OUTPUT: TEST AND
ACTION
Engine coolant is provided to the heater system by
two 16 mm (5/8 inch inside diameter) heater hoses.
With engine idling at normal running temperature,
set the control to maximum heat, floor, and high
blower setting. Using a test thermometer, check the
air temperature coming from the floor outlets, refer
to Temperature Reference chart.
If the floor outlet air temperature is insufficient,
refer to Group 7, Cooling Systems for specifications.
Both heater hoses should be HOT to the touch (cool-
ant return hose should be slightly cooler than the
supply hose). If coolant return hose is much cooler
than the supply hose, locate and repair engine cool-
ant flow obstruction in heater system.
