Use an adjustable vacuum test set (Special Tool
C-3707-B) and a suitable vacuum pump to test the
HVAC vacuum control system. With a finger placed
over the end of the vacuum test hose probe (Fig. 3),
adjust the bleed valve on the test set gauge to obtain
a vacuum of exactly 27 kPa (8 in. Hg.). Release and
block the end of the probe several times to verify that
the vacuum reading returns to the exact 27 kPa (8
in. Hg.) setting. Otherwise, a false reading will be
obtained during testing.
VACUUM CHECK VALVE
(1) Remove the vacuum check valve. The valve is
located in the vacuum supply tube (black) at the
HVAC system vacuum tee.
(2) Connect the test set vacuum supply hose to the
A/C Heater Control side of the valve. When con-
nected to this side of the check valve, no vacuum
should pass and the test set gauge should return to
the 27 kPa (8 in. Hg.) setting. If OK, go to Step 3. If
not OK, replace the faulty valve.
(3) Connect the test set vacuum supply hose to the
engine vacuum side of the valve. When connected to
this side of the check valve, vacuum should flow
through the valve without restriction. If not OK,
replace the faulty valve.
A/C HEATER CONTROLS
(1) Connect the test set vacuum probe to the
HVAC vacuum supply (black) tube at the tee in the
engine compartment. Position the test set gauge so
that it can be viewed from the passenger compart-
ment.(2) Place the A/C Heater Mode Control switch
knob in each mode position, one position at a time,
and pause after each selection. The test set gauge
should return to the 27 kPa (8 in. Hg.) setting
shortly after each selection is made. If not OK, a
component or vacuum line in the vacuum circuit of
the selected mode has a leak. See the procedure in
Locating Vacuum Leaks.
CAUTION: Do not use lubricant on the switch ports
or in the holes in the plug, as lubricant will ruin the
vacuum valve in the switch. A drop of clean water
in the connector plug holes will help the connector
slide onto the switch ports.

HEATER CONTROL - REMOVAL).
(2) Connect the test set vacuum hose probe to each
port in the HVAC housing half of the vacuum har-
ness connector, one port at a time, and pause after
each connection. The test set gauge should return to
the 27 kPa (8 in. Hg.) setting shortly after each con-
nection is made. If OK, replace the faulty A/C Heater
Control. If not OK, go to Step 3.
(3) Determine the vacuum line color of the vacuum
circuit that is leaking. To determine the vacuum line
colors, refer to the Vacuum Circuits chart (Fig. 4).
(4) Disconnect and plug the vacuum line from the
component (fitting, actuator, valve, switch, or reser-
voir) on the other end of the leaking circuit. Instru-
ment panel disassembly or removal may be necessary
to gain access to some components. See the appropri-
ate service procedures.

to 2000 rpm. This procedure (burnishing) will seat
the opposing friction surfaces and provide a higher
compressor clutch torque capability.
REMOVAL
The refrigerant system can remain fully-charged
during compressor clutch, rotor, or coil replacement.
The compressor clutch can be serviced in the vehicle.
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove the serpentine drive belt(Refer to 7 -
COOLING/ACCESSORY DRIVE/DRIVE BELTS -
REMOVAL).
(3) Unplug the compressor clutch coil wire harness
connector.
(4) Remove the four bolts that secure the compres-
sor to the mounting bracket.
(5) Remove the compressor from the mounting
bracket. Support the compressor in the engine com-
partment while servicing the clutch.
(6) Insert the two pins of the spanner wrench
(Special Tool C-4489 or equivalent) into the holes of
the clutch plate. Hold the clutch plate stationary and
remove the hex nut (Fig. 2).(7) Remove the clutch plate.
(8) Remove the compressor clutch shims.
(9) Remove the external front housing snap ring
with snap ring pliers (Fig. 3).
(10) Install the lip of the rotor puller (Special Tool
C-6141-1 or equivalent) into the snap ring groove
exposed in the previous step, and install the shaft
protector (Special Tool C-6141-2 or equivalent) (Fig.

on the evaporator fins from freezing and obstructing
air conditioning system air flow.
The a/c low pressure switch contacts are open
when the suction pressure is approximately 141 kPa
(20.5 psi) or lower. The switch contacts will close
when the suction pressure rises to approximately 234
to 262 kPa (34 to 38 psi) or above. Lower ambient
temperatures, below approximately -1É C (30É F), will
also cause the switch contacts to open. This is due to
the pressure/temperature relationship of the refriger-
ant in the system.
The a/c low pressure switch is a factory-calibrated
unit. It cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if faulty
or damaged, it must be replaced.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - A/C LOW
PRESSURE SWITCH
Before performing diagnosis of the a/c low pressure
switch, be certain that the switch is properly
installed on the accumulator fitting. If the switch is
too loose it may not open the Schrader-type valve in
the accumulator fitting, which will prevent the
switch from correctly monitoring the refrigerant sys-
tem pressure. Remember that lower ambient temper-
atures, below about -1É C (30É F), during cold
weather will open the switch contacts and prevent
compressor operation due to the pressure/tempera-
ture relationship of the refrigerant.
Also verify that the refrigerant system has the cor-
rect refrigerant charge. (Refer to 24 - HEATING &
AIR CONDITIONING - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
- A/C PERFORMANCE) and (Refer to 24 - HEATING
& AIR CONDITIONING/PLUMBING - SPECIFICA-
TIONS).
For circuit descriptions and diagrams, (Refer to
Appropriate Wiring Information).
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Unplug the a/c low pressure switch wire har-
ness connector from the switch on the accumulator
fitting.
(3) Install a jumper wire between the two cavities
of the a/c low pressure switch wire harness connector.
(4) Connect a manifold gauge set to the refrigerant
system service ports. (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR
CONDITIONING/PLUMBING - STANDARD PRO-
CEDURE - REFRIGERANT SYSTEM SERVICE
EQUIPMENT) and (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR
CONDITIONING - DESCRIPTION - REFRIGERANT
SYSTEM SERVICE PORT)
(5) Connect the battery negative cable.
(6) Place the A/C Heater mode control switch knob
in any A/C position and start the engine.
(7) Check for continuity between the two terminals
of the a/c low pressure switch. There should be con-
tinuity with a suction pressure reading of 262 kPa(38 psi) or above, and no continuity with a suction
pressure reading of 141 kPa (20.5 psi) or below. If
OK, test and repair the A/C switch sense circuit as
required. If not OK, replace the faulty switch.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Unplug the wire harness connector from the a/c
low pressure switch on the top of the accumulator
(Fig. 13).
(3) Unscrew the a/c low pressure switch from the
fitting on the top of the accumulator.
(4) Remove the O-ring seal from the accumulator
fitting and discard.
INSTALLATION
(1) Lubricate a new O-ring seal with clean refrig-
erant oil and install it on the accumulator fitting.
Use only the specified O-rings as they are made of a
special material for the R-134a system. Use only
refrigerant oil of the type recommended for the com-
pressor in the vehicle. (Refer to 24 - HEATING &
AIR CONDITIONING/PLUMBING/REFRIGERANT

VACUUM CHECK VALVE
DESCRIPTION
A vacuum check valve is installed in the accessory
vacuum supply line in the engine compartment, near
the vacuum tap on the engine intake manifold, and
at the HVAC unit takeout. The vacuum check valve
is designed to allow vacuum to flow in only one direc-
tion through the accessory vacuum supply circuits.
OPERATION
The use of a vacuum check valve helps to maintain
the system vacuum needed to retain the selected A/C
Heater mode settings. The check valve will prevent
the engine from bleeding down system vacuum
through the intake manifold during extended heavy
engine load (low engine vacuum) operation.
The vacuum check valve cannot be repaired and, if
faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.
REMOVAL
(1) Unplug the HVAC vacuum supply line connec-
tor at the vacuum check valve. The check valve is
located behind the glove box on the passengers side
of the vehicle (Fig. 22).
(2) Note the orientation of the check valve in the
vacuum supply line for correct reinstallation.
(3) Unplug the vacuum check valve from the vac-
uum supply line fittings.
INSTALLATION
(1) Plug in the vacuum check valve at the vacuum
supply line fittings making sure of proper orienta-
tion.(2) Plug in the vacuum check valve at the HVAC
vacuum supply line connector.
