z
A one- piece lip- type seal (installed from the front of the A/C compressor) is used to seal it at the
shaft opening in the assembly.
z Five double- acting pistons operate within the cylinder assembly. The pistons are actuated by a
swashplate that converts the rotating action of the shaft to a reciprocating force.
z Reed- type discharge valves are located between the cylinder assembly and the head at each
end of the A/C compressor.
z The A/C compressor uses PAG oil, or equivalent. This oil contains special additives required for
the A/C compressor.
z The A/C compressor oil from vehicles equipped with an FS- 10 A/C compressor may have some
dark colored streaking while maintaining a normal oil viscosity. This is normal for the A/C
compressor and is caused by break- in wear of the piston rings.
The magnetic A/C clutch has the following characteristics: zIt drives the compressor shaft.
z When the battery positive voltage (B+) is applied to the A/C clutch field coil, the clutch plate and
hub assembly is drawn toward the A/C clutch pulley.
z The magnetic force locks the clutch plate and hub assembly and the A/C clutch pulley together
as one unit, causing the compressor shaft to rotate.
z When (B+) is removed from the A/C clutch field coil, springs in the clutch plate and hub
assembly move the clutch plate away from the A/C clutch pulley. A/C Compressor Pressure Relief Valve Item Part Number Description

GENERAL PROCEDURES
Linkage Adjustment
NOTE:
Before starting the adjustment process, inspect the top for damage, make sure that the door
window glass and rear quarter glass are correctly adjusted then completely lower all window glass.
NOTE: After each adjustment make sure the convertible top operates correctly.
The Convertible Top Dowel Pins Fall Forward (Overshoot) or Rearward (Undershoot). The
Receiver Cups — Cam Bolt Adjustment.
1. Remove the quarter trim panel. For additional information, refer to Section 501 - 05 .
2. Close the convertible top and examine the position of the dowel pins relative to the receiver cups.
3. Move the convertible top to the half- open position to access the cam bolt.
4. NOTE: Rotating the top of the cam bolt toward the front of the vehicle will lengthen the top, increase the tension on the top and increase pull - down effort. Rotating the cam bolt in the SECTION 501-

Component Test
Carry out the appropriate Functional Test(s) as determined in Inspection and Verification.
Functional Test I (Buckle and Tongue)
The safety belt buckle and tongue assembly must operate freely during the latching and unlatching
function. Fasten the safety belt by inserting the tongue (male portion) into the buckle (female portion).
1. Verify the following during the latching sequence: zTongue insertion is not hindered by excessive effort.
z A click is heard when the buckle latches the tongue.
2. Verify the system integrity by forcefully pulling on the belt webbing.
3. Unlatch the belt by fully depressing the buckle release button, and allowing the belt to release and retract.
4. Verify the following during the unlatching process: zPush-button depression does not require excessive effort.
z Tongue can be removed easily from the buckle.
5. Repeat the above steps three times.
6. If the inspection reveals an obvious concern(s) that can be readily identified, service as required. Do not attempt to carry out any repair on the buckle and tongue assembly. If a
concern exists with either component, a new safety belt buckle and safety belt and retractor
assembly must be installed.
Functional Test II (Retractor)
The safety belt and retractor assembly must be freely operational for extraction and retraction of the
safety belt webbing between full extension and in- vehicle stowed positions.
1. Extract and retract the safety belt between the full extension and stowed positions.
2. Verify the retractor operates without excessive effort or binding.
3. Install a new safety belt buckle retractor and tongue assembly if no obvious concerns are noticed and the complaint has been verified. z

6. Pull on the shoulder belt to check that the belt has remained in the ALR mode. If the belt is not
locked, install a new safety belt and retractor assembly.
7. Unlatch the safety belt tongue from the buckle and allow the safety belt to retract to its stowed position.
8. Pull the shoulder belt to verify the retractor assembly has converted automatically out of the ALR mode. If the shoulder belt remains locked in the stowed position, install a new safety belt
and retractor assembly. Klj . 4 ba
