DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
WATER DRAINAGE AND WIND NOISE
DIAGNOSIS
The sliding glass panel is designed to seal water
entry with a snug fit between the roof and the seal.
The fit can be checked by inserting a piece of paper
between the roof and the seal. The piece of paper
should have some resistance when pulled out when
the glass panel is in the closed position. The sunroof
housing will drain off a minimum amount of water.
Excessive wind noise could result if the gap clear-
ances are exceeded. The sunroof glass panel may
need to be adjusted. Refer to Sunroof Glass Panel
Adjustment for proper procedures.
Adequate drainage is provided by a drain trough in
the sunroof housing which encircles the sliding glass
panel and leads to drain hoses. If a wet headliner or
other water leak complaints are encountered, before
performing any adjustments, first ensure that the
drainage system is not plugged or disconnected. Use
a pint container to pour water into the sunroof hous-
ing drain trough. If water flow is restricted, use com-
pressed air to blow out any material plugging the
drain system. Retest system again.To further check for a disconnected drain hose:
(1) Remove A-pillar trim, sun visors, and map
lamps/mini console.
(2) Remove sunroof opening trim lace. Refer to
Sunroof Opening Trim Lace.
(3) Lower headliner as necessary to gain access to
sunroof housing drain tubes. (Refer to 23 - BODY/IN-
TERIOR/HEADLINER - REMOVAL)
(4) Repair as necessary.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES
Before beginning sunroof diagnostics verify that all
other power accessories are in proper operating condi-
tion. Refer to Sunroof Diagnostic Chart for possible
causes. If not, a common electrical problem may exist.
Refer to Wiring Diagrams, in this publication for circuit,
splice and component descriptions. Check the condition
of the circuit protection (20 amp circuit breaker in cav-
ity 19 of the Junction Block). Inspect all wiring connec-
tor pins for proper engagement and continuity. Check
for battery voltage at the power sunroof controller, refer
to Wiring Diagrams, for circuit information. If battery
voltage of more than 10 volts is detected at the control-
ler, proceed with the following tests (the controller will
not operate at less than 10 volts).

CONTROL SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with a power sunroof utilize an
sunroof control switch. On this model, the sunroof
control switch is located in the overhead console, in
between the two reading lamps. The switch is
mounted in the overhead console with four plastic
retaining tabs, molded into the switch housing.
This switch incorporates four selections of opera-
tion open, auto open, close and vent. The individual
switches in the sunroof control switch unit cannot be
repaired. If one switch is damaged or faulty, the
entire sunroof control switch unit must be replaced.
OPERATION
With the operation of the sunroof control switch,
voltage is directed to the sunroof motor, through the
switch contacts or control module. If the control
switch is depressed and held depressed the voltage
signal is controlled manually through the switch con-
tacts, so when the switch is released the sunroof
stops.
Refer to the owners manual for more information
on the operation of the sunroof switch and system.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
The following test will determine if the sunroof
control switch is operating properly.
(1) Remove the overhead console from the head-
liner (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/OVERHEAD CON-
SOLE - REMOVAL).
(2) Remove the sunroof control switch from the
overhead console (Refer to 23 - BODY/SUNROOF/
CONTROL SWITCH - REMOVAL).
(3) Using an ohmmeter, test the switch terminals
for proper continuity using the table below. If any ofthe terminals do not show proper continuity, replace
the sunroof control switch.

23 - 184 SUNROOFKJ

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.
LOCATING VACUUM LEAKS
WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIR-
BAGS, DISABLE THE AIRBAG SYSTEM BEFORE
ATTEMPTING ANY STEERING WHEEL, STEERING
COLUMN, OR INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPONENT
DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. DISCONNECT AND ISO-
LATE THE BATTERY NEGATIVE (GROUND) CABLE,
THEN WAIT TWO MINUTES FOR THE AIRBAG SYS-
TEM CAPACITOR TO DISCHARGE BEFORE PER-
FORMING FURTHER DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. THIS
IS THE ONLY SURE WAY TO DISABLE THE AIRBAG
SYSTEM. FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER PRE-
CAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENTAL
AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL
INJURY.
(1) Disconnect the vacuum harness connector from
the back of the HVAC control head(Refer to 24 -
HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/CONTROLS/A/C
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.

(5) Connect the test set hose or probe to the open
end of the leaking circuit. The test set gauge should
return to the 27 kPa (8 in. Hg.) setting shortly after
each connection is made. If OK, replace the faulty
disconnected component. If not OK, go to Step 6.
(6)
To locate a leak in a vacuum line, leave one end
of the line plugged and connect the test set hose or
probe to the other end of the line. Run your fingers
slowly along the line while watching the test set gauge.
The vacuum reading will fluctuate when your fingers
contact the source of the leak. To repair the vacuum
line, cut out the leaking section of the line. Then, insert
the loose ends of the line into a suitable length of 3 mil-
limeter (0.125 inch) inside diameter rubber hose.

A/C COMPRESSOR CLUTCH
DESCRIPTION - 3.7L and 2.4L
The compressor clutch assembly consists of a sta-
tionary electromagnetic coil, a rotor bearing and
rotor assembly, and a clutch plate (Fig. 1). The elec-
tromagnetic coil unit and the rotor bearing and rotor
assembly are each retained on the nose of the com-
pressor front housing with snap rings. The clutch
plate is keyed to the compressor shaft and secured
with a nut. These components provide the means to
engage and disengage the compressor from the
engine serpentine accessory drive belt.
OPERATION - 3.7L and 2.4L
When the clutch coil is energized, it magnetically
draws the clutch into contact with the rotor and
drives the compressor shaft. When the coil is not
energized, the rotor freewheels on the clutch rotor
bearing, which is part of the rotor. The compressor
clutch and coil are the only serviced parts on the
compressor.
The compressor clutch engagement is controlled by
several components: the A/C Heater mode control
switch, the A/C low pressure switch, the A/C high
pressure switch, the compressor clutch relay, and the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM may
delay compressor clutch engagement for up to thirty
seconds. Refer to Electronic Control Modules for
more information on the PCM controls.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - A/C COMPRESSOR
CLUTCH COIL
For circuit descriptions and diagrams, (Refer to
Appropriate Wiring Information). The battery must
be fully-charged before performing the following
tests. Refer to Battery for more information.
(1) Connect an ammeter (0 to 10 ampere scale) in
series with the clutch coil terminal. Use a voltmeter
(0 to 20 volt scale) with clip-type leads for measuring
the voltage across the battery and the compressor
clutch coil.
(2) With the A/C Heater mode control switch in
any A/C mode, and the blower motor switch in the
lowest speed position, start the engine and run it at
normal idle.
(3) The compressor clutch coil voltage should read
within 0.2 volts of the battery voltage. If there is
voltage at the clutch coil, but the reading is not
within 0.2 volts of the battery voltage, test the clutch
coil feed circuit for excessive voltage drop and repair
as required. If there is no voltage reading at the
clutch coil, use a DRB IIItscan tool and (Refer to
Appropriate Diagnostic Information) for testing of the
compressor clutch circuit and PCM control. The fol-
lowing components must be checked and repaired as
required before you can complete testing of the clutch
coil:
²Fuses in the junction block and the Power Dis-
tribution Center (PDC)
²A/C heater mode control switch
²Compressor clutch relay
²A/C high pressure switch
²A/C low pressure switch
²Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
(4) The compressor clutch coil is acceptable if the
current draw measured at the clutch coil is 2.0 to 3.9
amperes with the electrical system voltage at 11.5 to
12.5 volts. This should only be checked with the work
area temperature at 21É C (70É F). If system voltage
is more than 12.5 volts, add electrical loads by turn-
ing on electrical accessories until the system voltage
drops below 12.5 volts.
(a) If the clutch coil current reading is four
amperes or more, the coil is shorted and should be
replaced.
(b) If the clutch coil current reading is zero, the
coil is open and should be replaced.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - A/C COMPRESSOR
CLUTCH BREAK-IN
After a new compressor clutch has been installed,
cycle the compressor clutch approximately twenty
times (five seconds on, then five seconds off). During
this procedure, set the A/C Heater control to the
Recirculation Mode, the blower motor switch in the
highest speed position, and the engine speed at 1500
