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.

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.
