DIAGNOSIS
GENERAL DIAGNOSIS
TESTING THE REFRIGERANT
SYSTEM
If you suspect a problem in the refrigerant system, check
for the following conditions:
1. Check the outer surfaces of the radiator and the
condenser cores to be sure that the airflow is not
blocked by dirt, leaves, or other foreign material.
Check between the condenser and the radiator, as
well as all outer surfaces.
2. Check for restrictions or kinks in the condenser
core, the hoses, and the tubes.
3. Check the operation of the blower fan.
4. Check all the air ducts for leaks or restrictions. Low
airflow rate may indicate a restricted evaporator
core.
5. Check for slippage of the compressor clutch.
6. Check the drive belt tension.
INSUFFICIENT COOLING ”QUICK
CHECK” PROCEDURE
Perform the following ”hand–feel” procedure to get a quick
idea of whether the A/C system has the proper charge of
Refrigerant–134a. The air temperature must be above
21°C (70°F) for most models.
1. Warm up engine. Run the engine at idle.
2. Open the hood and all the doors.
3. Turn the A/C switch ON.
4. Set the temperature control to the full cold position.
5. Set the blower speed switch on the maximum
speed setting.
6. ”Hand–feel” the temperature of the evaporator out-
let pipe. The pipe should be cold.
7. Check for other problems. Refer to ”Testing the Re-
frigerant System” in this section.
8. Leak check the system. Refer to ”Leak Testing the
Refrigerant System” in this section. If you find a
leak, discharge the system and repair the leak as
required. After completing the repair, evacuate the
system and charge it.
9. If there is no leak, refer to ”Insufficient Cooling
Diagnosis” in this section.

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
ON–VEHICLE SERVICE
GENERAL A/C SYSTEM SERVICE PROCEDURES
O–RING REPLACEMENT
Important : Even though O–rings may look identical, it is
extremely important that only recommended service re-
placement air conditioning O–rings be used or excessive
leakage of refrigerant may occur.
Important : Always slip the O–ring onto the flange tube to
ensure proper locating and sealing.
Install new Daewoo–approved service replacement air
conditioning (A/C) O–rings whenever a joint or a fitting is
disassembled, except when the O–rings are provided on
new components.
When replacing O–rings on an A/C component or a joint
connection, the fitting design should be identified to en-
sure installation of the correct air conditioning service re-
placement O–ring. Some joint connections and compo-
nents will implement a ”captured” O–ring design fitting that
uses a groove to retain the O–ring. Others do not have a
groove and use a ”non–captured” or ”standard” O–ring.
Assembly and tightening procedures are the same for
both designs, but the O–rings are different.
Notice : Before installation, verify that both O–rings and
fittings have not been nicked or deformed. Deformed or
nicked parts must be replaced. Failure to use the proper
service replacement parts and procedures may result in
excessive refrigerant leakage.
HANDLING REFRIGERANT
CAUTION : Always work in a well–ventilated area and
avoid breathing any refrigerant fumes. If you have dif-
ficulty with breathing, seek medical attention immedi-
ately. If refrigerant comes in contact with any part of
your body, flush the exposed area with water. If a rash
or pain develops, seek medical attention.
Air conditioning systems contain refrigerant. This is a
chemical mixture which requires special handling proce-
dures to avoid personal injury.
Always wear goggles and wrap a clean cloth around the
fittings, the valves and the connections when performing
work that involves opening the refrigerant system. Do not
weld or steam clean on or near any vehicle–installed air
conditioning lines or components.
All refrigerant drums are shipped with a heavy metal screw
cap. The purpose of the cap is to protect the valve and the
safety plug from damage. It is good practice to replace the
cap after each use of the drum.If it is necessary to transport or carry any container of re-
frigerant in a vehicle, do not carry it in the passenger
compartment.
HANDLING OF REFRIGERANT LINES
AND FITTINGS
Notice : Using too low or too high torque when tightening
a fitting can result in loose joints or deformed joint parts.
Both conditions can result in refrigerant leakage.
S Keep all metal tubing lines free of dents or kinks.
Any line restrictions will cause the loss of system
capacity.
S Never bend a flexible hose line to a radius of less
than four times the diameter of the hose.
S Never allow a flexible hose line to come within 65
mm (2–1/2 inches) of the exhaust manifold.
S Inspect flexible hose lines regularly for leaks or
brittleness.
S Replace flexible hose lines with new lines if you find
signs of deterioration or leaking.
S Discharge all refrigerant of the refrigeration system
before disconnecting any fitting in the refrigeration
system.
S Proceed very cautiously regardless of the gauge
readings.
CAUTION : Keep your face and your hands away from
the fitting so that you will not be injured if there hap-
pens to be liquid refrigerant in the line.
S Open the fittings very slowly.
S If you notice pressure when you loosen a fitting,
allow the pressure to bleed off as described under
”Discharging, Adding Oil, Evacuating, and Charging
Procedures for A/C System” in this section.
S Cap or tape any refrigerant line immediately after it
is opened. This will prevent the entrance of mois-
ture and dirt, which can cause internal compressor
wear or plugged lines in the condenser, the evapo-
rator core, the expansion valve, or the compressor
inlet screens.
Important : Use two proper wrenches to connect the O–
ring fittings.
S Back up the opposing fitting to prevent distortion of
the connecting lines or the components.
S Back up both the swagged fitting on the flexible
hose connections and the coupling to which it is
attached with two wrenches to prevent turning the
fitting and damaging the ground seat.
S Keep the O–rings and the seats in perfect condi-
tion. A burr or a piece of dirt may cause a refriger-
ant leak.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AND SYSTEM OPERATION
GENERAL INFORMATION
THE V5 A/C SYSTEM
The V5 variable displacement compressor along with the
thermal expansion valve on the evaporator, constitutes a
largely self–regulating system. There is no pressure cycl-
ing switch, no high–pressure cut–off switch and no low–
pressure cut–off switch. The compressor clutch is con-
trolled by the electronic control module (ECM), which
receives data from various engine systems and from a
pressure transducer located in the high–pressure refriger-
ant pipe. In normal operation, the clutch is engaged contin-
uously. Should one of the monitored conditions become
abnormal, the ECM will disengage the compressor clutch
until normal operation is restored. These conditions in-
clude the following:
S Wide–open throttle.
S High engine coolant temperature.
S High engine RPM.
S Refrigerant low pressure.
S Refrigerant high pressure.
The compressor clutch will remain disengaged until nor-
mal operation is established.
SYSTEM
COMPONENTS–FUNCTIONAL
Compressor
All compressors are belt–driven from the engine crank-
shaft through the compressor clutch pulley. The compres-
sor pulley rotates without driving the compressor shaft un-
til an electromagnetic clutch coil is energized. When
voltage is applied to energize the clutch coil, the clutch
plate and hub assembly is drawn rearward toward the
pulley. The magnetic force locks the clutch plate and
pulley together as one unit to drive the compressor shaft.
As the compressor shaft is driven, it compresses the low–
pressure refrigerant vapor from the evaporator into a
high–pressure, high–temperature vapor. The refrigerant
oil which is used to lubricate the compressor is carried with
the refrigerant. Refer to ”V5 Air Conditioning Compressor
Overhaul” in this section.
Condenser Core
The condenser assembly in front of the radiator consists
of coils which carry the refrigerant, and cooling fins that
provide the rapid transfer of heat. The air passing through
the condenser cools the high–pressure refrigerant vapor
and causes it to condense into a liquid.
Expansion Valve
The expansion valve is located with the evaporator core,
on the front passenger side fire wall.
The expansion valve can fail in three different positions:
open, closed, or restricted.
An expansion valve that fails in the open position will result
in a noisy A/C compressor or no cooling. The cause can
be a broken spring, a broken ball, or excessive moisture
in the A/C system. If the spring or the ball are found to be
defective, replace the expansion valve. If excessive mois-
ture is found in the A/C system, recycle the refrigerant.
An expansion valve that fails in the closed position will re-
sult in low suction pressure and no cooling. This may be
caused by a failed power dome or excessive moisture in
the A/C system. If the power dome on the expansion valve
is found to be defective, replace the expansion valve. If ex-
cessive moisture is found in the A/C system, recycle the
refrigerant.
A restricted expansion valve will result in low suction pres-
sure and no cooling. This may be caused by debris in the
refrigerant system. If debris is believed to be the cause, re-
cycle the refrigerant, replace the expansion valve, and re-
place the receiver–dryer.
Evaporator Core
The evaporator is a device which cools and dehumidifies
the air before it enters the vehicle. High–pressure liquid re-
frigerant flows through the expansion tube orifice and be-
comes a low–pressure gas in the evaporator. The heat in
the air passing through the evaporator core is transferred
to the cooler surface of the core, which cools the air. As the
process of heat transfer from the air to the evaporator core
surface is taking place, any moisture or humidity in the air
condenses on the outside surface of the evaporator core
and is drained off as water.
Receiver–Dryer
The sealed receiver–dryer assembly is connected to the
condenser outlet pipe. It acts as a refrigerant storing con-
tainer, receiving liquid, vapor, and refrigerant oil from the
evaporator.
At the bottom of the receiver–dryer is the desiccant, which
acts as a drying agent for the moisture that may have en-
tered the system. An oil bleed hole is located near the bot-
tom of the receiver–dryer outlet pipe to provide an oil re-
turn path to the compressor. The receiver–dryer is
serviceable only as an assembly.
Heater Core
The heater core heats the air before it enters the vehicle.
Engine coolant is circulated through the core to heat the
outside air passing over the fins of the core. The core is
functional at all times and may be used to temper condi-
tioned air in the A/C mode as well as in the heat or the vent
modes.
