INSTALLATION
NOTE: Sunroof glass must be set in place and
attached as close as possible to flush with the roof
surface. For wind noise reasons, care must be
taken to ensure that the glass is not remounted
either a) Overflush to the roof surface at the front
edge of the glass, or b) Underflush to the roof sur-
face at the rear edge of the glass.
(1) Position glass panel in to opening.
(2) Start the four attaching screws.
(3) Tighten screws.
(4) Verify sunroof operation and alignment. Check
fit and adjust as necessary. (Refer to 23 - BODY/
SUNROOF/GLASS PANEL - ADJUSTMENTS - FIT)
ADJUSTMENTS
ADJUSTMENTS - FIT
(1) Move the sunshade rearward to the open posi-
tion.
(2) Move the sunroof glass panel to the fully closed
position.
(3) Loosen the forward screws on each side enough
to make the front adjustment.
(4) Adjust the front of the sunroof glass panel 1
mm (1/32 inch) below the top surface of the roof
panel.
(5) Tighten the front two screws.
(6) Loosen the rear screws on each side enough to
make the rear adjustment.
(7) Adjust the rear of the sunroof glass panel 1
mm (1/32 inch) above the top surface of the roof
panel.
(8) Tighten the rear two screws.
(9) Check for proper fit. If not OK, repeat glass
panel adjustment.
ADJUSTMENT - TIMING
NOTE: A gage comes with the new motor.
(1) If the glass panel was not in the fully closed
position, when the motor was removed, the sunroof
glass panel needs to be timed, before the new motor
is installed.
(2) Remove sunroof glass panel.
(3) Set gage into the track near the rear of the
opening between the driver slide and the bracket
(Fig. 6).
(4) Move the driver slide forward or aft to get
proper setting.
(5) Repeat the operation on the other side.
(6) Install drive motor.
SUNSHADE
REMOVAL
(1) Open sunroof approximately 50% of the way.
(2) Push sunshade down until tabs clear glass.
(3) Move sunshade forward of glass panel.
(4) Compress the spring loaded plungers holding
the guide blocks in the track.
(5) Slide the sunshade forward while lifting the
front through the opening until the rear guide blocks
are accessible.
CAUTION: Use care not to crease the sunshade
when removing or installing.
(6) Disengage rear guide blocks from track.
INSTALLATION
(1) Install the sunshade from outside of the vehicle
with the sunroof fully open.
(2) Put rear guide blocks into sunshade guide
track.
(3) Push sunshade back and down through the
sunroof opening.
(4) Using a flat blade tool, put front guide blocks
into the sunshade track. By pushing the block
towards the center of the vehicle.
(5) Move the glass panel to approximately halfway
to the fully closed position.

However, evaporator capacity used to reduce the
amount of moisture in the air is not wasted. Wring-
ing some of the moisture out of the air entering the
vehicle adds to the comfort of the passengers.
Although, an owner may expect too much from their
air conditioning system on humid days. A perfor-
mance test is the best way to determine whether the
system is performing up to standard. This test also
provides valuable clues as to the possible cause of
trouble with the air conditioning system.
If the vehicle has the optional Automatic Zone Control
(AZC) system, and has intermittent operational prob-
lems or fault codes, be certain that the wire harness
connectors on the HVAC housing are properly seated
(Fig. 2). To check this condition, unplug the two wire
harness connector halves, then plug them in again.
Before performing the following procedure, (Refer
to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/PLUMB-
ING - CAUTION) (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR
CONDITIONING/PLUMBING - WARNING). The air
temperature in the test room and in the vehicle must
be a minimum of 21É C (70É F) for this test.
(1)
Connect a tachometer and a manifold gauge set.
(2) If the vehicle has the standard manual temper-
ature control, set the A/C Heater mode control switch
knob in the Panel position, the temperature control
knob in the full cool (Fresh Air Mode) position, the
A/C button in the On position, and the blower motor
switch knob in the highest speed position. If the vehi-
cle has the optional AZC, set the A/C Heater mode
control switch knob in the Panel position, the tem-
perature control knob in the full cool position, the
A/C button in the On position, and the blower motor
switch knob in the highest (manual) speed position.
(3) Start the engine and hold the idle at 1,300 rpm
with the compressor clutch engaged.
(4) The engine should be at operating temperature.
The doors and windows must be open.
(5)
Insert a thermometer in the driver side center
A/C (panel) outlet. Operate the engine for five minutes.
(6) The compressor clutch may cycle, depending
upon the ambient temperature and humidity.(7) With the compressor clutch engaged, record the
discharge air temperature and the compressor dis-
charge pressure.
(8) Compare the discharge air temperature to the
Performance Temperature and Pressure chart. If the
discharge air temperature is high, (Refer to 24 -

A/C COMPRESSOR CLUTCH
DESCRIPTION
The compressor clutch assembly consists of a sta-
tionary electromagnetic coil, a hub bearing and pul-
ley assembly, and a clutch plate (Fig. 4). The
electromagnetic coil unit and the hub bearing and
pulley assembly are each retained on the nose of the
compressor front housing with snap rings. The clutch
plate is keyed to the compressor shaft and secured
with a bolt.
OPERATION
The compressor clutch components provide the
means to engage and disengage the compressor from
the engine serpentine accessory drive belt. When the
clutch coil is energized, it magnetically draws the
clutch into contact with the pulley and drives the
compressor shaft. When the coil is not energized, the
pulley freewheels on the clutch hub bearing, which is
part of the pulley. 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 switch on the a/c heater
control panel, the Automatic Zone Control (AZC) con-
trol module (if the vehicle is so equipped), the evap-
orator probe, the a/c high pressure transducer, the
a/c compressor clutch relay, the body control module
(BCM) 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 - COMPRESSOR
CLUTCH COIL
For circuit descriptions and diagrams, refer to the
appropriate wiring diagrams. 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, the a/c heater control a/c switch in the ON
position, 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 DRBIIItscan tool and the appro-
priate diagnostic information for testing of the com-
pressor clutch circuit. The following 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
²A/C compressor clutch relay
²A/C high pressure transducer
²A/C evaporator probe
²Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
²Body Control Module (BCM)
(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.
