IDENTIFICATION For fuse box locations, see Fig. 1
.
WARNING:Modifications or improper maintenance, including
incorrect removal and installation of the
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS), can
adversely affect system performance. DO NOT
cover, obstruct or change the steering wheel horn
pad in any way, as such action could cause
improper function of the system. Use only plain
water when cleaning the horn pad. Solvents or
cleaners could adversely affect the air bag cover
and cause improper deployment of the system. To
avoid injury from accidental air bag deployment, see
DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM in AIR
BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEMS article in GENERAL
INFORMATION.
WARNING:When battery is disconnected, vehicles equipped
with computers may lose memory data. When
battery power is restored, driveability problems may
exist on some vehicles. These vehicles may require
a relearn procedure. See COMPUTER RELEARN
PROCEDURES article in GENERAL INFORMATION.
CAUTION: Disconnect negative battery cable before servicing
any air bag system, steering column or passenger
side dash component. After any repair, turn ignition
key to the ON position from passenger's side of
vehicle in case of accidental air bag inflation.

weather, vehicle speed, in gear or neutral, engine temperature or any other special
conditions. Noises that develop during A/C operation can often be misleading. For example:
what sounds like a failed front bearing or connecting rod, may be caused by loose
bolts, nuts, mounting brackets, or a loose clutch assembly. Verify accessory drive
belt tension (power steering or generator).
Improper accessory drive belt tension can cause a misleading noise when the
compressor is engaged and little or no noise when the compressor is disengaged.
Drive belts are speed-sensitive. That is, at different engine speeds, and depending
upon belt tension, belts can develop unusual noises that are often mistaken for
mechanical problems within the compressor. HANDLING TUBING AND FITTINGS Kinks in the refrigerant tubing or sharp bends in the refrigerant hose lines will
greatly reduce the capacity of the entire system. High pressures are produced in the
system when it is operating. Extreme care must be exercised to make sure that all
connections are pressure tight. Dirt and moisture can enter the system when it is
opened for repair or replacement of lines or components. The following precautions
must be observed. The system must be completely discharged before opening any
fitting of connection in the refrigeration system. Open fittings with caution even
after the system has been discharged. If any pressure is noticed as a fitting is
loosened, allow trapped pressure to bleed off very slowly. Never attempt to rebend formed lines to fit. Use the correct line for the installation
you are servicing. A good rule for the flexible hose lines is keep the radius of all
bends at least 10 times the diameter of the hose.
Sharper bends will reduce the flow of refrigerant. The flexible hose lines should be
routed so that they are at least 80 mm (3.1 inches) from the exhaust manifold. It is
good practice to inspect all flexible hose lines at least once a year to make sure they
are in good condition and properly routed.

FAN CONTROL RELAY CONTINUITY CHART
IDLE-UP OPERATION CHECK 1. Before inspection and adjustment, set vehicle in the following condition:
Engine coolant temperature: 80 - 90 °C (176.0 - 194.0 °F) Lights, electric cooling fan and accessories: OFF Transmission: Neutral ("N" or "P" position) Steering wheel: Straightforward
2. Check whether or not the idle speed is the standard value.
Refer to
CURB IDLE SPEED CHECK
.
Standard value: 680 +/- 50 r/min
3. Turn on the air conditioning switch and the blower speed selection dial. Engine
idling speed should be within the standard value:
Standard value
At low pressure: 680 +/- 50 r/min
At middle pressure: 730 +/- 50 r/min
At high pressure: 750 +/- 50 r/min
