ets, or a loose clutch assembly. Improper drive belt
tension can cause a misleading noise when compres-
sor is engaged. The noise may not occur when com-
pressor is disengaged.
Drive belt(s) are speed sensitive. At different
engine speeds and depending upon belt tension,
belt(s) can develop noises that are mistaken for a
compressor noise.
(1) Select a quiet area for testing. Duplicate condi-
tions as much as possible. Switch compressor on and
off several times to clearly identify compressor noise.
Listen to compressor clutch while engaged and disen-
gaged.
(2) To duplicate high-ambient condition (high-head
pressure), restrict air flow through condenser. Install
manifold gauge set to make sure discharge pressure
doesn’t exceed 2070 kPa (300 psi).
(3) Tighten ALL compressor mounting bolts, clutch
mounting bolt, clutch coil mounting screws
(4) Check refrigerant hoses for rubbing or interfer-
ence which can cause unusual noises.
(5) Check refrigerant charge (refer to Charging the
System).
(6) Check compressor noise as in Step 1.
(7) If noise still exists, loosen compressor mount-
ing bolts and torque. Repeat Step 1.
(8) If noise continues, replace compressor and
repeat Step 1.
CONTROL MODULE
The control switch and timer circuit may be tested
in the vehicle with or without scan tool (DRB).
TESTING WITH SCAN TOOL
If using the scan tool, refer to the proper Body
Diagnostic Procedures Manual.
TESTING WITHOUT SCAN TOOL
(1) Remove the control switch from console and
disconnect control switch (Fig. 2).
(2) Using a ohmmeter, check leads between Pins 5
and 8 of the 8-Way connector. Turn the control mod-
ule to each position shown on chart below. The resis-
tance reading should be within the specifications
shown. If not OK, replace the control module. If OK,
check:
•
Blown fuse
•
Cut wire
•
Poor ground
•
Poor connection
•
Defective BCM
•
Bulkhead connector inoperative
Refer to Group 8W, Wiring Diagrams.
HEATER PERFORMANCE TEST
PRE-DIAGNOSTIC PREPARATIONS
Review Safety Precautions and Warnings in this
group before performing the following procedures.
Check the coolant level, drive belt tension, vacuum
line connections, radiator air flow and fan operation.
Start engine and allow to warm up to normal tem-
perature.
WARNING: DO
NOT
REMOVE
RADIATOR
CAP
WHEN ENGINE IS HOT, PERSONAL INJURY CAN
RESULT.
If vehicle has been run recently, wait 15 minutes
before removing cap. Place a rag over the cap and
turn it to the first safety stop. Allow pressure to
escape through the overflow tube. When the system
stabilizes, remove the cap completely.
MAXIMUM HEATER OUTPUT: TEST AND
ACTION
Engine coolant is provided to the heater system by
two 16 mm (5/8 inch inside diameter) heater hoses.
With engine idling at normal running temperature,
set the control to maximum heat, floor, and high
blower setting. Using a test thermometer, check the
air temperature coming from the floor outlets, refer
to Temperature Reference chart.
If the floor outlet air temperature is insufficient,
refer to Group 7, Cooling Systems for specifications.
Both heater hoses should be HOT to the touch (cool-
ant return hose should be slightly cooler than the
