1998 HONDA CIVIC cool

Adjustment -'99 - 00 Models
1. From under the hood, open the cable clamp, then
disconnect the heater valve cable from the heater
valve arm.
From under the dash. disconnect the heater valve
cable housing from the cable clamp, and disconnect
the heater valve cable from the air mix control arm.
HEATER VALVE CABLE
Set the temperature control dial on MAX COOL with
the ignition switch ON {ll).
Attach the heater valve cable to the air mix control
arm as shown above. Hold the end of the heater
valve cable housing against the stop, then snap the
heater valve cable housing into the cable clamp.

5. From under the hood. turn the heater valve arm to
the fullv closed oosition as shown, and hold it,
Attach the heater valve cable to the heater valve
arm, and gently pull on the heater valve cable hous-
ing to take up any slack, then install the heater valve
cable housing into the cable clamp.

Air Mix Gontrol Motor
't.
Test -'99 - 00 Models
Disconnect the 5P connector from the air mix con-
trol motor.
Connect battery power to the No. 1 terminal of the
air mix control motor, and ground the No. 5 termi,
nal; the air mix control motor should run, and stop
at MAX HOT. lf it doesn't, reverse the connections;
the air mix control motor should run, and stop at
MAX COOL.
lf the air mix control motor does not run, remove
it, then check the air mix control linkage and
doors for smooth movement.
lf they move smoothly, replace the air mix con-
trol motor.
AIR MIX CONTROL MOTOR
Measure the resistance between the No.2 and No.3
terminals. lt should be approximately 4.8 to 7.2 kO.
Measure the resistance between the No. 2 and No. 4
terminals. lt should be approximately 3.84 to 5.76 kO
at MAX HOT and approximately 0.96 to 1.44 kO at
MAX COOL.

Replacement -'99 - 00 Models
1, Disconnect the 5P connector from the air mix con-
trol motor. Remove the self-tapping screws, the airmix control motor and the flange collar.
CONTROLMOTOR
Install in the reverse order of removal. After installa-
tion, make sure the air mix control motor runs
smoothly.

A/C System Service
Performance Test
The performance test will help determine if the air con-
ditioner system is operating within specifications.
Use only service equipment that is U.L.-listed and is cer-
tified to meet the reouirements of SAE J2210 to remove
HFC-134a (R-134a) from the air conditioner system.
CAUTION: Exposure to air conditionor rofrigerant and
lubricant vapor or mist can irrilalo €yes, nose and
throat. Avoid breathing tho air conditioner rstrigerrnt
and lubricant vapor or mist,
lf accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work
area before resuming service.
R-134a service equipment or vehicle air conditioner sys-
tems should not be pressure tested or leak tested with
compressed air.
@ some mixtur$ of air and R-134a have been
shown lo b9 combustible rt glgvatad pr€ssur63 and can
resull in tire 01 oxplosion causing inlury ot property
damage. Never uao compre33ed air to pressure t99t R-
134a ssrvico 6quipmsnt or vohicla air conditioner sys-
tems.
Additional health and safety information may be obtained
from the refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.
'1. Connect a R-134a refrigerant recover/recycling/
charging station to the vehicle, as shown, following
the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
2. lnsert a thermometer in the center vent outlet.
Determine the relative humidity and air tempera-
ture,
Test conditions:
. Avoid direct sunlight.
. Open hood.
. Open front doors.
. Set the temDerature control lever or dial to MAX,
COOL, the mode control switch or dial on VENT
and the recirculation control switch on RECIRCU-
LATE.
. Turn the A,/C switch on. and the heater fan switch
on MAX.
. Run the engine at 1,500 rpm.
. No driver or passengers in vehicle
After running the air conditioning for 10 minutes
under the above test conditions, read the delivery
temperature from the thermometer in the dash vent
and the high and low system pressure from the A,/C
gauges.
