(4) With the A/C compressor clutch engaged, duct
temperature should not be less than 2° C (35° F) or
more than 12° C (54° F). The compressor clutch may
cycle, depending upon the ambient temperature and
humidity. If the clutch cycles, use the readings
obtained before the clutch disengaged.
(5) If the A/C compressor clutch has not cycled off
and the duct temperature is less than 2° C (35° F),
check the evaporator temperature sensor and circuit
by performing the ATC Function Test (Refer to 24 -
HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING - DIAGNOSIS
AND TESTING - ATC FUNCTION TEST).
(6) If the air outlet temperature fails to meet the
specifications, refer to the A/C System Diagnosis
chart.

1. A/C condenser air flow re-
stricted.
1. Check the A/C condenser for damaged
fins, foreign objects obstructing air flow
through the condenser fins, and missing or
improperly installed air seals. Clean, repair, or
replace components as required.
2. Refrigerant flow through the
receiver/drier is restricted.
2. See Receiver/Drier in this group. Replace
the restricted receiver/drier, if required.
3. Inoperative radiator cooling
fan.
3. Test the radiator cooling fan and replace, if
required. Refer to Group 7 - Cooling.
4. Refrigerant system over-
charged.
4. See Refrigerant System Charge in this
group. Recover the refrigerant from the refrig-
erant system. Charge the refrigerant system
to the proper level, if required.
5. Air in the refrigerant system.
5. See Refrigerant System Leaks in this
group. Test the refrigerant system for leaks.
Repair, evacuate and charge the refrigerant

6. Engine overheating.
6. Test the engine cooling system and repair,
if required. Refer to Group 7 - Cooling.
The low side pressure is too
high, and the high side pres-
sure is too low.
1. Accessory drive belt slip-
ping.
1. Inspect the accessory drive belt condition
and tension. Repair as required. Refer to
Group 7 - Cooling.
2. Faulty A/C expansion valve.
2. See A/C Expansion Valve in this group.
Replace the valve, if required.
3. Faulty A/C compressor.

1. See Liquid Line, Suction Line and Dis-
charge Line in this group. Inspect the refriger-
ant lines for kinks, tight bends or improper
routing. Correct the routing or replace the re-
frigerant line, if required.

HEATER PERFORMANCE TEST
Before performing the following tests, perform the
ATC Function Test using the DRBIII
t and refer to
Cooling for the procedures to check the radiator cool-
ant level, serpentine drive belt tension, radiator air
flow and the radiator fan operation.
MAXIMUM HEATER OUTPUT
Engine coolant is provided to the heater core
through a heater valve and heater hose. With the
engine idling at normal operating temperature, set
the heater-A/C controls as follows:
• Temperature control in the full hot position
VA
HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING
24 - 5
• Mode control in the floor heat position
• Blower motor control in the highest speed posi-
tion
Using a test thermometer, check the temperature
of the air being discharged at the floor outlets. Com-
pare the test thermometer reading to the Tempera-
ture Reference chart.

If the floor outlet air temperature is insufficient,
check for a faulty heater valve (perform ATC Func-
tion Test) and verify that the cooling system is oper-
ating to specifications (Refer to 7 - COOLING/
ENGINE/COOLANT - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
Both of the heater hoses should be HOT to the touch
(the coolant return heater hose should be slightly
cooler than the supply hose. If the coolant return
hose is much cooler than the supply hose, locate and
repair the engine coolant flow obstruction in the
heater system.
POSSIBLE LOCATIONS OR CAUSE OF
OBSTRUCTED COOLANT FLOW
• Pinched or kinked heater hoses.
• Improper heater hose routing.
• Plugged heater hoses or supply and return ports
at the cooling system connections.
• Inoperative or stuck heater water valve.
• Plugged heater core.
If proper coolant flow is verified, and heater floor
outlet air temperature is insufficient, a mechanical
problem may exist.
POSSIBLE LOCATIONS OR CAUSE OF INSUFFI-
CIENT HEAT
• An obstructed cowl air intake.
• Obstructed heater system outlets.
• Heater water valve not functioning properly.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
If outlet air temperature cannot be adjusted with
the A/C-heater temperature control, one of the follow-
ing could require service:
• Faulty A/C-heater control switch.
• Faulty temperature sensor.
• Faulty A/C-heater control cable or actuator.
• Faulty A/C-heater control module.
ATC FUNCTION TEST
The automatic temperature control (ATC) system
can perform an self-test, which can be activated by
the DRBIII
t scan tool to confirm that the A/C system
is performing satisfactorily. This test provides a
quick confirmation of heating and A/C system perfor-
mance to the service technician. Refer to Body Diag-
nostic Procedures for the appropriate diagnostic
information.
