REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
Air Conditioning (A/C) Compressor —
3.8L
Removal and Installation CAUTION: If installing a new air conditioning compressor due to an internal failure of the
old unit, you must carry out the following procedures to remove contamination from the air
conditioning system.
zIf A/C flushing equipment is available, carry out the flushing of the air conditioning
system prior to installing a new air conditioning compressor. For additional information,
refer to Section 412 - 00 .
z If A/C flushing equipment is not available, carry out filtering of the air conditioning
system after a new air conditioning compressor has been installed. For additional
information, refer to Section 412 - 00 .
z Install a new evaporator core orifice (19D990), as directed by the A/C flushing or filtering
procedure.
z Install a new suction accumulator (19C836), as directed by the A/C flushing or filtering
procedure.
NOTE: Installation of a new suction accumulator is not required when repairing the air conditioning
system except when there is physical evidence of system contamination from a failed A/C compressor
or damage to the suction accumulator.
1. If flushing of the air conditioning system has not been performed, recover the refrigerant. For additional information, refer to Section 412 - 00 .
2. Disconnect the battery. For additional information, refer to Section 414 - 01
3. Unlatch the air breather.

The boost pressure gauge on the instrument cluster receives and measures the boost pressure
directly from the intake manifold. The boost pressure gauge will display between 0.0-
0.48 kpa (0.0-10
psi) boost pressure dependent upon accelerator position, engine load, and engine rpm.
LOW FUEL Level Indicator
The low fuel level indicator is hardwired from the fuel sender to the instrument cluster. The instrument
cluster will illuminate the low fuel indicator when the usable fuel quantity is less than 1/8 tank (15%) of
fuel tank capacity.
Oil Pressure Gauge
The oil pressure gauge is hardwired from the oil pressure switch to the instrument cluster. The oil
pressure gauge will indicate either normal or no oil pressure.
CHECK FUEL CAP
The CHECK FUEL CAP indicator is used to indicate significant leaks in the fuel tank evaporative
system due to a loose fuel cap. Fuel tank pressure is monitored by the PCM. If a leak is detected the
PCM signals a fault to the instrument cluster via the SCP network. Once the PCM has detected a
loose fuel cap and the CHECK FUEL CAP indicator is illuminated, the indicator will remain illuminated
until the fuel cap is secured and the vehicle has been running for several minutes. For additional
information, refer to the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) manual.
BRAKE Warning Indicator
The BRAKE warning indicator activates when the generic electronic module (GEM) detects the ignition
switch circuits are in the RUN state, when the GEM detects low brake fluid level, or that the parking
brake is applied. The BRAKE warning indicator will prove out starting when the GEM detects that the
ignition circuits have made a transition to RUN or START from OFF, ACC, or keyout and ending when
either three seconds have elapsed or when the GEM detects the ignition circuits have made a
transition to OFF, ACC, or keyout.
Safety Belt Warning Indicator
The safety belt switch is hardwired to the GEM. The safety belt warning indicator will be illuminated
when the GEM sends a ground signal to the instrument cluster.
ABS Warning Indicator
The ABS warning indicator will be illuminated when the anti- lock brake control module sends a ground
signal to the instrument cluster. The prove- out of the ABS indicator is controlled by the anti- lock brake
control module.
SERVICE ENGINE SOON Indicator
The SERVICE ENGINE SOON indicator receives its signal from the PCM over the SCP network. If the
instrument cluster does not receive a message from the PCM within five seconds, the instrument
cluster will illuminate the SERVICE ENGINE SOON indicator and log a diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
High Beam Indicator
The high beam indicator will illuminate when the steering column multifunction switch is in the high
beam position by sending a battery signal to the instrument cluster. Right and Left Turn Indicator Klj . 3 ba

The right and left turn indicators will illuminate when the steering column multifunction switch is in
either turn signal position or hazard lamps position by sending a battery signal to the instrument
cluster.
AIR BAG Warning Indicator
The AIR BAG warning indicator will be illuminated when the restraint control module (RCM) sends a
ground signal to the instrument cluster. The prove-
out of the AIR BAG warning indicator is controlled
by the RCM.
THEFT Indicator
The THEFT indicator provides a passive anti- theft system (PATS) prove-out. The THEFT indicator will
prove out for three seconds following the ignition switch cycle and will flash following an ignition switch
OFF transition to indicate that PATS is active.
Charging System Indicator
The charging system indicator will be illuminated when the generator provides a ground signal to the
instrument cluster. The instrument cluster provides a prove- out when the ignition switch is in the RUN
position with the engine off. When the engine is started, the generator removes the ground to the
instrument cluster and extinguishes the charging system indicator.
Overdrive Off (O/D OFF) Indicator
The O/D OFF indicator is controlled by the off/on message sent from the PCM over the SCP network.
The instrument cluster does not provide a prove- out for the O/D OFF indicator, but will remain
illuminated if the overdrive has been commanded off following the instrument cluster prove- out.
Traction Control Indicator
During initialization, the instrument cluster will receive the traction control system state status message
from the traction control module to determine if the vehicle is equipped with traction control. If the
vehicle is equipped with traction control, this information will be stored in random access memory
(RAM) and the indicator will prove out for three seconds during each ignition cycle. If this message is
not received, the instrument cluster will assume that the vehicle is not traction control equipped and
the indicator will remain off. When the traction control is active, the traction control module sends the
instrument cluster a traction control active signal and the instrument cluster illuminates the traction
control indicator. When the traction control is inactive, the traction control module removes the traction
control active signal and the instrument cluster turns off the indicator.
In the event of a traction control failure, the traction control indicator will remain off and the ABS
indicator will illuminate.
Inspection and Verification 1. Verify the customer concern.
2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical and electrical damage.
