STANDARD PROCEDURE
INITIAL OPERATION
WARNING: The fluid level should be checked with engine off to prevent injury from moving components.
NOTE: Remove as much of the old fluid out of the system as possible with a suction tool or by removing
a hose, when a component has failed. Then refill it with fresh fluid until itis clean. This may have to be
done more than once.
CAUTION: MOPAR
ATF+4 is to be used in the power steering system. No other power steering or auto-
matic transmission fluid is to be used in the system. Damage may result to the power steering pump and
system if any other fluid is used, and do not overfill.
Wipe filler cap clean, then check the fluid level. The dipstick should indicateCOLDwhen the fluid is at normal
ambient temperature.
1. Fill the pump fluid reservoir to the proper level and let the fluid settlefor at least two minutes.
2. Start the engine and let run for a few seconds then turn engine off.
3. Add fluid if necessary. Repeat the above procedure until the fluid levelremains constant after running the engine.
4. Raise the front wheels off the ground.
5. Slowly turn the steering wheel right and left, lightly contacting the wheel stops at least 20 times.
6. Check the fluid level add if necessary.
7. Lower the vehicle, start the engine, and use the DRB III to activate the hydraulic fan on full fan operation.
8. Turn the steering wheel slowly from lock to lock.
9. Stop the engine, check the fluid level and refill as required and repeat the process
CAUTION: Do not run a vehicle with foamy fluid for an extended period. This may cause pump damage.
10. If the fluid is extremely foamy or milky looking, allow the vehicle to stand a few minutes and repeat the pro-
cedure.
11. While the vehicle is in park, use the DRB III to activate the hydraulic fan to full fan operation and briefly rev the
engine up to 3000 rpm to fully engage the hydraulic fan.
12. Check the fluid level add if necessary.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
WAT E R L E A K S
Water leaks can be caused by poor sealing, improper body component alignment, body seam porosity, missing
plugs, or blocked drain holes. Centrifugal and gravitational force can cause water to drip from a location away from
the actual leak point, making leak detection difficult. All body sealing points should be water tight in normal wet-
driving conditions. Water flowing downward from the front of the vehicle should not enter the passenger or luggage
compartment. Moving sealing surfaces will not always seal water tight under all conditions. At times, side glass or
door seals will allow water to enter the passenger compartment during highpressure washing or hard driving rain
(severe) conditions. Overcompensating on door or glass adjustments to stop a water leak that occurs under severe
conditions can cause premature sealwear and excessive closing or latching effort. After completing a repair, water
test vehicle to verify leak has stopped before returning vehicle to use.
VISUAL INSPECTION BEFORE WATER LEAK TESTS
Verify that floor and body plugs are in place, body drains are clear, and body components are properly aligned and
sealed. If component alignment or sealing is necessary, refer to the appropriate section of this group for proper
procedures.
WATER LEAK TESTS
WARNING: Do not use electric shop lights or tools in water test area. Personal injury can result.
When the conditions causing a water leak have been determined, simulate the conditions as closely as possible.
Ifaleakoccurswiththevehicleparkedinasteadylightrain,floodtheleak area with an open-ended garden
hose.
If a leak occurs while driving at highway speeds in a steady rain, test the leak area with a reasonable velocity
stream or fan spray of water. Direct the spray in a direction comparable to actual conditions.
If a leak occurs when the vehicle is parked on an incline, hoist the end or sideofthevehicletosimulatethis
condition. This method can be used when the leak occurs when the vehicle accelerates, stops or turns. If the
leak occurs on acceleration, hoist the front of the vehicle. If the leak occurs when braking, hoist the back of the

PLUMBING
DESCRIPTION
The A/C refrigerant lines and hoses are used to carry the refrigerant between the various A/C system components.
The refrigerant lines and hoses for the R-134a system on this vehicle consist of a barrier-hose design with a nylon
tube sandwiched between rubber layers. The nylon tube helps to contain theR-134a refrigerant, which has a
smaller molecular structure than R-12 refrigerant. The ends of the refrigerant lines are made from lightweight alu-
minum or steel, and commonly use braze-less fittings.
Any kinks or sharp bends in the refrigerant lines and hoses will reduce the capacity of the entire A/C system and
can reduce the flow of refrigerant in the system. The radius of all bends in the flexible hose refrigerant lines should
be at least ten times the diameter of the hose and the refrigerant lines should be routed so they are at least 80
millimeters (3 inches) away from the exhaust manifold(s) and exhaust pipe(s).
OPERATION
High pressures are produced in the refrigerant system when the A/C compressor is operating. Extreme care must
be exercised to make sure that each of the refrigerant system connections is pressure-tight and leak free. It is a
good practice to inspect all flexible hose refrigerant lines at least oncea year to make sure they are in good con-
dition and properly routed.
The refrigerant lines and hoses are coupled to other A/C system componentswith block-type fittings. An O-ring seal,
or a flat steel gasket with an integral O-ring (dual plane seal), is used to mate the refrigerant line fittings with A/C
system components to ensure the integrity of the refrigerant system.
The refrigerant lines and hoses cannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, they must be replaced.
WARNING
WARNING: The A/C system contains refrigerant under high pressure. Repairs should only be performed by
qualified service personnel. Severe personal injury or death may result from improper service procedures.
WARNING: Avoid breathing the refrigerant and refrigerant oil vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate the eyes,
nose, and/or throat. Wear eye protection when servicing the A/C refrigerant system. Serious eye injury can
result from direct contact with the refrigerant. If eye contact occurs, seek medical attention immediately.
WARNING: Do not expose the refrigerant to open flame. Poisonous gas is createdwhenrefrigerantis
burned. An electronic leak detector is recommended. Severe personal injury or death may result from
improper service procedures.
WARNING: If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate the work area before resuming service. Large
amounts of refrigerant released in a closed work area will displace the oxygen and cause suffocation and
death.
WARNING: The evaporation rate of R-134a refrigerant at average temperature and altitude is extremely high.
As a result, anything that comes in contact with the refrigerant will freeze. Always protect the skin or del-
icate objects from direct contact with the refrigerant.
WARNING: The R-134a service equipment or the vehicle refrigerant system should not be pressure tested or
leak tested with compressed air. Some mixtures of air and R-134a have been shown to be combustible at
elevated pressures. These mixtures are potentially dangerous, and may result in fire or explosion causing
property damage, personal injury or death.
