ELECTRICAL COMPONENT LOCATIONS
OPERATION
All air control doors are controlled manually by cable from control panel. Blower resistor determines blower
speed. With blower switch in high position, blower motor is grounded directly through blower switch. With
blower switch in all other positions, blower motor is grounded through blower resistor and blower switch.
A/C compressor clutch circuit is completed when A/C relay is energized and pressure switch is closed. A/C
relay is energized when Powertrain Control Module (PCM) grounds the solenoid circuit of the relay. The PCM
energizes A/C relay if evaporator thermoswitch is closed and A/C and blower switches are on. The PCM also
controls A/C relay operation according to engine load.
ADJUSTMENTS
TESTING
A/C SYSTEM PERFORMANCE
1. Connect manifold gauge set. Operate engine at 1500 RPM. Operate A/C at maximum cooling, recirculate,
fan on high, vent mode. Close all doors and windows. Place thermometer at center vent outlet.
2. Allow A/C to stabilize. Ensure high pressure is 200-227 psi (14.0-16.0 kg/cm
2 ). Read temperature at
center vent outlet. Ensure temperature is within 39-43°F (3-6°C)
