The A/C refrigerant system is a clutch cycling orifice tube type. The system consists of the following components:

  • A/C compressor
  • A/C clutch
  • A/C condenser core
  • A/C evaporator core
  • A/C charge port valve (high side)
  • A/C charge port valve (low side)
  • Connecting refrigerant lines
  • Function selector switch
  • Suction accumulator

The refrigerant system operation is controlled by the following:

  • A/C evaporator core orifice
  • A/C cycling switch
  • A/C compressor pressure relief valve
  • A/C pressure cutoff switch
  • A/C clutch relay
  • Powertrain control module (PCM)

The refrigerant system incorporates an A/C compressor controlled by an A/C cycling switch.

The A/C cycling switch senses A/C evaporator core pressure to control A/C compressor operation.

An A/C compressor pressure relief valve is installed in the A/C manifold and tube assembly (3.0L (4V) engine), on the discharge port of the A/C compressor (2.3L engine) to protect the refrigerant system against excessively high refrigerant pressures.

An A/C evaporator core orifice is installed in the condenser-to-evaporator line to meter the liquid and vapor mixture refrigerant into the A/C evaporator core.
