AIR CONDITIONING
W h e n diagnosing problem s in the electrical and
vacuum systems of the air conditioning system, consult
electrical wiring diagrams and vacuum diagrams.
Ports on rotary vacuum valves are illustrated in a
m anner to provide simplicity in following vacuum schematic
lines but are numbered in consecutive order on the actual
valve.
O p e ra tio n a l Test
To aid in d ete rm in in g w h eth er or not the air
conditioning electrical, air, vacuum and refrigeration
systems are operating properly and efficiently, refer to C hart
1B 3
V A C U U M SYSTEM
C-K an d G , C 6 0 SYSTEM
S ta rt the engine and allow it to idle - move the selector
lever to each position and refer to the vacuum diagrams and
operational charts for proper airflow, air door functioning
and vacuum circuits. If air flow is not out of the proper
outlets at each selector lever position, then proceed as
follows:
1. C heck for good hose connections--at the vacuum
actuators, control head valve, reservoir, tees, etc.
2. Check the vacuum source circuit as follows:
Install vacuum tee and gage (with restrictor) at the
vacuum tank outlet (Refer to Vacuum Diagram). Idle
the engine and read the vacuum (a normal vacuum is
equivalent to manifold vacuum) at all selector lever
positions.
a. V acuum Less T han N orm al A t All Positions -
Remove the tee and connect the vacuum gage line
directly to the tank - read the vacuum. If still low,
then the problem lies in the feed circuit, the feed
circuit to the tank or in the tank itself. If vacuum is
now normal, then the problem lies downstream.
b. V acuum Less T han N o rm al at Some Positions.
If vacuum was low at one or several of the selector
lever positions, a leak is indicated in these circuits.
c. Vacuum Norm al at All Positions;
If vacuum was normal and even at all positions, then
the malfunction is probably caused by improperly
connected or plugged lines or a defective vacuum
valve or valves.
3. Specific V acuum Circuit Check
Place the selector lever in the malfunctioning position
an d check for v acu u m at the p ertin en t vacuum
actuators. If vacuum exists at the actuator but the door
does not move, then the actuator is defective or the door
is mechanically bound. If low or no vacuum exists at
the actuator, then the next step is to determine whether
the cause is the vacuum harness or the vacuum valve.
Check the vacuum harness first.
4. Vacuum Harness Circuit Check
a. Disconnect the vacuum harness at the control head.
Operation of the air conditioning blower at all four
speeds and engagement of the compressor clutch would
indicate t h a t electrical circuits are functioning
properly.
2. The same hand-felt tem perature of the evaporator inlet
pipe and the accum ulator can surface of an operating
system would indicate a properly charged R - 12 system.
3. Operation of the A /C control selector (mode) lever to
d istrib u te air from designed outlets would indicate
proper vacuum and diaphragm function.
DIAGNOSIS
b. The black line ( # 1 ) should show engine vacuum - if
not, trace back through connector to vacuum tank.
c. To check any individual circuit place the selector
lever at the involved circuit position and check for
vacuum presence.

PROCEDURE
The following C C O T " H a n d -F e e l" procedure can be
used to quickly determine whether or not the A /C system
has the proper charge of R e frig e ra n t-12 (providing ambient
tem perature is above 21°C (70°F) This check can be made
in a m atter of minutes, simplifying system diagnosis by
pinpointing the problem to the am ount of R efrig eran t-12
charge in the system or by eliminating this possibility from
the over-all checkout.
1. Engine m ust be w arm ( C H O K E O P E N and O F F
FA ST ID L E S P E E D C A M ) and at normal idle speed.
2. Hood and body doors open.
3. Selector (mode) lever set at N O R M .
4. Tem perature lever at C O LD .
5. Blower on HI.
