1. Record the ambient temperature.
2. Record the suction (low) pressure.
3.NOTE: In ambient temperatures between 38- 43°C (100-110°F), the system performance
pressures will be the same as those for ambient temperatures shown on the chart in the

The system performance is acceptable when the pressure reading falls between the
upper and lower limits shown.
7. Determine the A/C clutch ON time. 1. Record the ambient temperature.
2. Record the A/C clutch ON time in seconds.
3.NOTE: When the ambient temperature is above 26°C (80°F), the A/C clutch may not
cycle.

3. NOTE: When the ambient temperature is above 26°C (80°F), the A/C clutch may not
cycle.
The system performance is acceptable when the recorded time falls between the upper
and lower limits shown.
10. Determine the A/C clutch cycle rate per minute. 1. Record the ambient temperature.
2. Record the number of A/C clutch cycles occurring in one minute.
3.NOTE: When the ambient temperature is above 26°C (80°F), the A/C clutch may not
cycle.

GENERAL PROCEDURES
Air Conditioning (A/C) Clutch Air Gap Adjustment
1. Check the A/C clutch air gap at three equally- spaced places between the A/C clutch hub (2884)
and the A/C clutch pulley (2E884).
2. Remove the A/C clutch. Add or remove spacers between the A/C clutch and the compressor shaft until clearance is within specification. For additional information, refer to Section 412 - 03 .

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Air Conditioning
The A/C refrigerant system is a clutch cycling orifice tube type. The system components are:
zA/C compressor (19703)
z A/C clutch (2884)
z A/C condenser core (19712)
z A/C evaporator core (19860)
z suction accumulator (19C836)
z connecting refrigerant lines
The refrigeration system operation is controlled by the:
zA/C evaporator core orifice (19D990).
z A/C cycling switch (19E561).
z A/C compressor pressure relief valve (19D644).
z Refrigerant containment switch (3.8L) (19D594).
z Dual- function pressure switch (4.6L) (19D594).
The refrigerant system incorporates an A/C compressor controlled by an A/C cycling switch.
The A/C cycling switch senses A/C evaporator core pressure to control A/C compressor operation.
An A/C compressor pressure relief valve is installed in the A/C manifold and tube (19D734) to protect
the refrigerant system against excessively high refrigerant pressures.
An evaporator core orifice is installed in the A/C evaporator core inlet tube to meter the liquid
refrigerant into the A/C evaporator core.
A refrigerant containment switch is installed on 3.8L vehicles to cut- off A/C compressor operation in
the event of abnormally high refrigerant system pressure.
A dual- function pressure switch is used on 4.6L vehicles for cooling fan control, and to cut- off A/C
compressor operation in the event of abnormally high refrigerant system pressure. Refrigeration System Components SECTION 412-
