A/C Control Unit
- A/C switch is located above A/C-heater unit. See Fig 1
. Disconnect A/C control unit electrical connector. Turn ignition switch and A/C switch to the ON position. Set temperature control lever to MAX COOL and blower switch to HI position.
NOTE:
Refer to Fig. Fig 2
during the following testing procedure.
- Using an ohmmeter, measure resistance between terminals No. 1 and 6, and terminals No. 5 and 7 on wire side of A/C control unit connector. Ohmmeter should read 1350-1650 ohms at 77°F (25°C).
- Using a voltmeter, measure voltage between terminals No. 2 and 3 on wire side of A/C control unit connector. With A/C switch in the ON position, voltmeter should read approximately 12 volts. Turn A/C switch to the OFF position. Measure voltage between terminals No. 2 and 8. Voltmeter should read zero volt.
- Using an ohmmeter, check continuity between terminals No. 3, 4, 8 and ground. Continuity should exist.
- Using a voltmeter, measure voltage between terminals No. 3 and 9. With engine coolant temperature at 172°F (78°C), voltmeter should read 12 volts. With engine temperature at 185°F (85°C), check voltage between terminals No. 8 and 9. Voltmeter should read zero volt.
- Turn ECONO switch to ON position, measure voltage between terminals No. 3 and 10. Voltmeter should read 12 volts. Turn ECONO switch to OFF position. Measure voltage between terminals No. 8 and 10. Voltmeter should read zero volt.
- If ohmmeter and voltmeter readings are within specification, replace A/C control unit.
