13. Idle the engine in PARK with the A/C compressor clutch engaged. Using a
stethoscope, move around the entire A/C system testing for any abnormal noises
caused by a component. Do any of the A/C components cause an abnormal noise?
If yes, go to step 20. If no, go to step 24.
14. Verify that the A/C system is properly charged. If it is properly charged, go to step
23. If not properly charged, go to the next step.
15. Recharge the A/C system to specification. Is the abnormal compressor noise still
present? If yes, go to step 23. If no, go to step 25.
16. Repair the oil leak. When the repair is complete, go to step 17.
17. Replace the drive belt. When the repair is complete, go to step 25.
18. Replace the drive belt tensioner or adjust drive belt tension. When the repair is
complete, go to step 25.
19. Repair or replace the A/C compressor mounting component. When the repair is
complete, go to step 25.
20. Repair or replace the component that is causing the moaning concern as needed.
When the repair is complete, go to step 25.
21. Correctly route or insulate the A/C component. When the repair is complete, go to
step 25.
22. Verify A/C system is not overcharged. Replace the A/C compressor clutch. When
the repair is complete, go to step 25.
23. Inspect the A/C compressor. Repair or replace as needed. When the repair is
complete, go to step 25.
24. The concern may be caused by an engine related component. If the concern is
found and repaired, go to step 25.
25. Operate the system in order to verify the repair. If the system is okay, the repair is
complete. If not, repeat the entire procedure.
Noise from the HVAC Housing (Evaporator Case)
1. Start the engine. Cycle through all blower speeds, A/C mode settings and
temperature control settings. Determine the type of noise, whether it is a scraping,
popping, ticking, clicking, chirping or groaning, or an air rush or whistle. Is a scrape
or pop noise evident when selecting modes or temperature settings? If yes, go to
step 5. If no, go to the next step.
2. Is a tick/click, chirping, groaning or scraping noise present, but decreases as
blower motor speed is decreased? If yes, go to step 5. If no, go to the next step.
3. Is an air rush/whistle noise evident in all modes but not all temperature settings? If
yes, go to step 5. If no, go to the next step.
4. Is an air rush/whistle noise evident only in defrost or floor mode? If yes, go to step
5. If no, examine for other sounds, repeat step 1.
5. Remove components as needed to access the HVAC module. When complete, go
to the next step.
6. Inspect the airflow doors for proper operation and the ducts for obstructions or
foreign materials. Were any of these conditions found? If yes, go to step 9. If no, go
to the next step.
7. Inspect the mode and temperature doors and seals for warping or cracking. Are the
doors in normal condition? If yes, go to step 9. If no, go to the next step.
8. Replace the appropriate door and/or seals. When the repair is complete, go to step
10.
9. Remove any obstructions or foreign material found. When the repair is complete,
go to step 10.
