Climate Control System

WARNINGCarbon monoxide is colorless, odorless and dangerous. If it is necessary to operate the engine with vehicle in a closed area such as a garage, always use an exhaust collector to vent the exhaust gases outside the closed area.
WARNINGR-134a is classified as a safe refrigerant, but misuse can make it dangerous. The following precautions must be observed. Always wear safety goggles when repairing an air conditioning system. Avoid contact with liquid refrigerant R-134a. R-134a vaporizes at approximately -25°C (-13°F) under atmospheric pressure and it will freeze skin tissue. Never allow refrigerant R-134a gas to escape in quantity in an occupied space. R-134a is non-toxic, but it will displace the oxygen needed to support life. Never use a torch in an atmosphere containing R-134a gas. R-134a is non-toxic at all normal conditions, but when it is exposed to high temperatures, such as a torch flame, it decomposes. During decomposition it releases irritating and toxic gases (as described in the MSDS sheet from the manufacturer). Decomposition products are hydrofluoric acid, carbon dioxide and water. Do not allow any portion of the charged air conditioning system to become too hot. The pressure in an air conditioning system rises as the temperature rises and temperatures of approximately 85°C (185°F) can be dangerous. Allow the engine to cool sufficiently prior to carrying out maintenance or serious burns and injury can occur.
WARNINGIt is dangerous to charge the system with the engine running at the high side service port.
CAUTIONTo avoid damaging the vehicle or A/C components, the following precautions must be observed. The A/C refrigerant of all vehicles must be identified and analyzed prior to refrigerant charging. Failure to do so can contaminate the shop bulk refrigerant and other vehicles. Do not add R-12 refrigerant to an A/C system that requires the use of R-134a refrigerant. These two types of refrigerant must never be mixed. Doing so can damage the A/C system. Charge the A/C system with R-134a refrigerant gas while the engine is running only at the low-pressure side to prevent refrigerant slugging from damaging the A/C compressor. Use only R-134a refrigerant. Due to environmental concerns, when the A/C system is drained, the refrigerant must be collected using refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment. Federal, State/Provincial and/or local laws REQUIRE that R-134a be recovered into appropriate recovery equipment and the process be conducted by qualified technicians who have been certified by an approved organization, such as ASE, MACS, HRAI, etc. Use of a recovery machine dedicated to R-134a is necessary to reduce the possibility of oil and refrigerant incompatibility concerns. Refer to the instructions provided by the equipment manufacturer when removing refrigerant from or charging the A/C system. Refrigerant R-134a must not be mixed with air for leak testing or used with air for any other purpose above atmospheric pressure. R-134a is combustible when mixed with high concentrations of air and higher pressures. A number of manufacturers are producing refrigerant products that are described as direct substitutes for refrigerant R-134a. The use of any unauthorized substitute refrigerant can severely damage the A/C components. If repair is required, use only new or recycled refrigerant R-134a.
CAUTIONTo avoid contamination of the A/C system, the following precautions must be observed. Never open or loosen a connection before recovering the refrigerant. When loosening a connection, if any residual pressure is evident, allow it to leak out before opening the fitting. Evacuate a system that has been opened to install a new component or one that has discharged through leakage before charging. Seal open fittings with a cap or plug immediately after disconnecting a component from the system. Clean the outside of the fittings thoroughly before disconnecting a component from the system. Do not remove the sealing caps from a new component until ready to install. Refrigerant oil will absorb moisture from the atmosphere if left uncapped. Do not open an oil container until ready to use and install the cap immediately after using. Store the oil in a clean, moisture-free container. Install a new O-ring seal before connecting an open fitting. Coat the fitting and O-ring seal with mineral oil before connecting. When installing a refrigerant line, avoid sharp bends. Position the line away from the exhaust or any sharp edges that can chafe the line. Tighten threaded fittings only to specifications. The steel and aluminum fittings used in the refrigerant system will not tolerate overtightening. When disconnecting a fitting, use a wrench on both halves of the fitting to prevent twisting of the refrigerant lines or tubes. Do not open a refrigerant system or uncap a new component unless it is as close as possible to room temperature. This will prevent condensation from forming inside a component that is cooler than the surrounding air.

The electronic manual temperature control (EMTC) system heats or cools the vehicle depending on the EMTC control panel selection.

  1. The EMTC control panel selections determine heating or cooling, air distribution and enables blower motor operation.
  2. The temperature control setting determines the air temperature.
  3. The blower motor switch varies the blower motor speed.
  4. During A/C operation the system also reduces the relative humidity of the air.
  5. The driver side and passenger side temperature settings can be individually controlled. (Dual-zone EMTC only.)

The dual-zone electronic automatic temperature control (EATC) system maintains the selected vehicle interior temperature by heating and/or cooling the air.

  1. During A/C operation the system also reduces the relative humidity of the air.
  2. The driver may override the automatic mode of operation.
  3. The temperature control setting determines the air temperature.
  4. The blower motor control override buttons vary the blower motor speed.
  5. The driver side and passenger side temperature settings can be individually controlled.

Principles of Operation

There are 4 main principles involved with the basic theory of operation

  1. Heat transfer
  2. Latent heat of vaporization
  3. Relative humidity
  4. Effects of pressure

Heat Transfer

If 2 substances of different temperature are placed near each other, the heat in the warmer substance will transfer to the colder substance.

Latent Heat of Vaporization

When a liquid boils (converts to gas) it absorbs heat without raising the temperature of the resulting gas. When the gas condenses (converts back to a liquid), it gives off heat without lowering the temperature of the resulting liquid.

Relative Humidity

The amount of moisture (water vapor content) that the air can hold is directly related to the air temperature. The more heat there is in the air, the more moisture the air can hold. The lower the moisture content in the air, the more comfortable you feel. Removing the moisture from the air lowers its relative humidity and improves personal comfort.

Effects of Pressure on Boiling or Condensation

As the pressure is increased on a liquid, the temperature at which the liquid boils (converts to gas) also increases. Conversely, when the pressure on a liquid is reduced, its boiling point is also reduced. When in the gas state, an increase in pressure causes an increase in temperature, while a decrease in pressure will decrease the temperature of the gas.

Compressor Anti-Slugging Strategy

Liquid refrigerant may accumulate in the A/C compressor under certain conditions. To alleviate damage to the A/C compressor, compressor anti-slugging strategy (CASS) is utilized.

CASS is initiated only under specific conditions

  1. Ignition is off for more than 8 hours
  2. Ambient temperature is above -4°C (25°F)
  3. Battery voltage is above 8.5 volts during engine cranking

When these conditions are present, the powertrain control module (PCM) will activate the A/C control relay prior to cranking of the engine. The A/C control relay engages the A/C compressor for approximately 4-15 A/C compressor revolutions or a maximum of 2 seconds (depending upon vehicle application), allowing the liquid refrigerant to be pushed from the A/C compressor. CASS is initiated by the PCM regardless of the EMTC or the EATC system settings.

The Refrigerant Cycle

During stabilized conditions (air conditioning system shutdown), the refrigerant pressures are equal throughout the system. When the A/C compressor is in operation it increases pressure on the refrigerant vapor, raising its temperature. The high-pressure and high-temperature vapor is then released into the top of the A/C condenser core.

The A/C condenser, being close to ambient temperature, causes the refrigerant vapor to condense into a liquid when heat is removed from the refrigerant by ambient air passing over the fins and tubing. The now liquid refrigerant, still at high pressure, exits from the bottom of the A/C condenser and enters the inlet side of the A/C receiver/drier. The receiver/drier is designed to remove moisture from the refrigerant.

The outlet of the receiver/drier is connected to the thermostatic expansion valve (TXV). The TXV provides the orifice which is the restriction in the refrigerant system and separates the high and low pressure sides of the A/C system. As the liquid refrigerant passes across this restriction, its pressure and boiling point are reduced.

The liquid refrigerant is now at its lowest pressure and temperature. As it passes through the A/C evaporator, it absorbs heat from the airflow passing over the plate/fin sections of the A/C evaporator. This addition of heat causes the refrigerant to boil (convert to gas). The now cooler air can no longer support the same humidity level of the warmer air and this excess moisture condenses on the exterior of the evaporator coils and fins and drains outside the vehicle.

The refrigerant cycle is now repeated with the A/C compressor again increasing the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant.

A thermistor which monitors the temperature of the air that has passed through the evaporator core controls A/C clutch cycling. If the temperature of the evaporator core discharge air is low enough to cause the condensed water vapor to freeze, the A/C clutch is disengaged by the vehicle powertrain control module (PCM).

The high-side line pressure is also monitored so that A/C compressor operation will be interrupted if the system pressure becomes too high or is determined to be too low (low charge condition).

The A/C compressor thermal protection switch will interrupt compressor operation if the compressor housing exceeds temperature limits.

The A/C compressor relief valve will open and vent refrigerant to relieve unusually high system pressure.

Electronic Automatic Temperature Control System

The electronic automatic temperature control (EATC) system operation is determined by the settings on the EATC module. The EATC system automatically maintains a selected temperature for vehicle interior comfort. The EATC system is composed of the EATC module, blower motor speed control, mode door actuator, air inlet door actuator, temperature blend door actuator, in-vehicle temperature sensor and solar radiation sensor to control the various functions.

When the EATC module is set to AUTO

Auxiliary Climate Control System

An auxiliary climate control system is available as optional equipment. The auxiliary climate control system operation is determined by the settings on the front or rear auxiliary climate control assembly. The auxiliary climate control assemblies include a blower motor switch and temperature control/air distribution mode knob, neither of which can be individually serviced.

Auxiliary blower motor operation is enabled when the EMTC or EATC is in any mode except OFF. The auxiliary system air can be cooled below interior air temperature only when A/C compressor operation has been requested by the settings of the climate control assembly of the base (front) system. The auxiliary system air can be heated at any time.

The front auxiliary climate controls

  1. are built into the dual-zone EMTC or EATC module. The blower motor speed can be set to OFF, LO, MED LO, MED HI or HI by pressing the auxiliary blower FAN button either right (higher) or left (lower). The temperature/airflow mode can be adjusted by pressing the rear button either right (warm/floor) or left (cool/panel). If the front (main) driver side temperature is set to full COOL or full HEAT, the auxiliary temperature will be set to the same as the driver and cannot be changed. When the front auxiliary REAR button is depressed, all control of the auxiliary climate control system functions are then transferred to the rear auxiliary climate control assembly and the auxiliary temperature can be fully independently controlled.

The rear auxiliary climate control assembly

  1. blower motor switch controls the auxiliary blower motor speed only when the front auxiliary climate control assembly blower motor switch is set to REAR. The blower motor speed can be set to OFF, LO, MED LO, MED HI or HI.
  2. temperature/airflow mode control switch is a potentiometer that outputs a variable voltage to the auxiliary temperature blend door actuator and auxiliary mode door actuator to set the position of the auxiliary temperature blend and mode doors only when the front auxiliary climate control assembly blower motor switch is set to REAR. When A/C compressor operation has not been initiated (A/C compressor commanded on) by the EMTC or EATC module (as equipped), the auxiliary climate control system cannot cool the air below that of the interior air temperature.

  2. Inspect to determine if one of the following mechanical or electrical concerns apply: VISUAL INSPECTION CHART Mechanical Electrical Loose, missing or damaged A/C compressor drive belt Loose or disconnected A/C clutch Broken or binding door/actuator Broken or leaking refrigerant lines Obstructed in-vehicle temperature sensor Disconnected in-vehicle temperature aspirator hose Open fuses Blower motor inoperative A/C compressor inoperative Circuitry open/shorted Disconnected electrical connectors Cooling fan inoperative
  3. As pinpoint tests and measurements are being carried out, be sure to inspect for any disconnected, loose-fitting or incorrectly installed component, module and in-line electrical connectors and pins.
  4. If the inspection reveals obvious concerns that can be readily identified, repair as necessary.
  5. If the concern remains after the inspection, connect the diagnostic tool to the data link connector (DLC) located beneath the instrument panel and select the vehicle to be tested from the diagnostic tool menu. If the vehicle selection cannot be entered: check that the program card is correctly installed. check the connections to the vehicle. check the ignition switch position. check that the battery voltage is greater than 9V. If the diagnostic tool still does not allow the vehicle selection to be entered, refer to the diagnostic tool manual.
  6. CARRY OUT the Data Link Diagnostic Test using the diagnostic tool. If the scan tool responds with: SCP+, SCP-, CAN or UBP circuits fault = ALL MODULE NO RESPONSE/NOT EQUIPPED, go to Module Communication Network Diagnostics to diagnose the network concern. If the powertrain control module (PCM) is not listed for a communication concern, turn the A/C controls to OFF and execute the self-test diagnostics for the PCM. If the EATC module is not listed for a communication concern, execute the self-test diagnostics for the EATC module.
  7. If any PCM or EATC DTCs are retrieved, and are related to the concern, go to the «POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) INDEX»(/ford/five-hundred/i-2004-2007/remont/automatic-hvac-system/#hvac-control-system-general-information__electronic-automatic-temperature-control-eatc-module) or the «DUAL AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL (EATC) MODULE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) INDEX»(/ford/five-hundred/i-2004-2007/remont/automatic-hvac-system/#hvac-control-system-general-information__electronic-automatic-temperature-control-eatc-module) to continue the diagnostics.
  8. If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, GO to «SYMPTOM CHART»(/ford/five-hundred/i-2004-2007/remont/automatic-hvac-system/#hvac-control-system-general-information__symptom-chart) to continue the diagnostics.
  9. If the EATC module cannot be accessed by the scan tool, GO to «PINPOINT TEST E»(/ford/five-hundred/i-2004-2007/remont/automatic-hvac-system/#hvac-control-system-general-information) .

Electronic Automatic Temperature Control Module - Diagnostic Methods

The electronic automatic temperature control system must be diagnosed by first retrieving any DTCs, if present.

  1. An on-demand (hard fault) DTC indicates that the fault is currently present. An on-demand DTC suggests a wiring fault, disconnected connector or component failure.
  2. A continuous (intermittent) DTC alone (corresponding on-demand DTC is not present) indicates that the fault is an intermittent condition and may not be currently present. A continuous only DTC suggests a poor wiring connection, loose pin or terminal or intermittent component failure.

On-demand (hard fault) or continuous (intermittent fault) DTCs can be retrieved using a diagnostic tool. If using a diagnostic tool, refer to the diagnostic tool operating manual.

On-demand DTCs can also be retrieved by carrying out the Electronic Automatic Temperature Control Module On-Demand Self Test. To retrieve and/or clear continuous DTCs, carry out the ELECTRONIC AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL MODULE - Retrieve Continuous DTCs . Always carry out the Electronic Automatic Temperature Control Module On-Demand Self Test before retrieving continuous DTCs.

If no DTCs are present, GO to SYMPTOM CHART for the appropriate diagnostic action.

Electronic Automatic Temperature Control Module On-Demand Self Test

The EATC Module On-Demand Self Test will retrieve on-demand (hard fault) DTCs only, it will not retrieve continuous DTCs. Continuous DTCs can be cleared when exiting the EATC Module On-Demand Self Test. Make sure to retrieve continuous DTCs by carrying out the ELECTRONIC AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL MODULE - Retrieve Continuous DTCs procedure before clearing any continuous DTCs.

  1. The EATC Module On-Demand Self Test will not detect concerns associated with data link messages like engine coolant temperature or vehicle speed signals. A diagnostic tool must be used to retrieve these concerns.
  2. The EATC Module On-Demand Self Test will detect concerns in the system control functions and will display on-demand (hard fault) DTCs for concerns that are present during the self-test. The vehicle interior temperature should be between 4°C-38°C (40°F-100°F) when carrying out the self-test. If the temperatures are not within the specified ranges, false DTCs may be displayed.
  3. The self-test can be initiated after cycling the ignition switch from OFF to ON. Normal operation of the climate control system stops when the self-test is activated.
  4. To enter the self-test, press the OFF and DEFROST buttons simultaneously and release, then press the AUTO button within 2 seconds. The display will show a flashing blower icon for 20 seconds, after which all vacuum fluorescent segments will be displayed if there are no on-demand DTCs present. If DTCs are present, the EATC module will display "00 00" and then on-demand DTCs. Record all DTCs displayed.
  5. If any DTCs appear during the self-test, carry out the diagnostic procedure. Refer to the «Electronic Automatic Temperature Control (EATC) Module Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index»(/ford/five-hundred/i-2004-2007/remont/automatic-hvac-system/#hvac-control-system-general-information__electronic-automatic-temperature-control-eatc-module) and follow the ACTION for each DTC given.
  6. If a condition exists, but no DTCs appear during the self-test, GO to «SYMPTOM CHART»(/ford/five-hundred/i-2004-2007/remont/automatic-hvac-system/#hvac-control-system-general-information__symptom-chart) Condition: The EATC System Is Inoperative, Intermittent or Incorrect Operation.
  7. To exit the self-test and retain all DTCs, press any button except DEFROST. The EATC module will exit the self-test and retain all DTCs.
  8. To exit the self-test and clear all DTCs, press the DEFROST button. The EATC module will exit the self-test and all DTCs will be cleared.
  9. Always exit the self-test before powering the system down (system turned OFF). Once the self-test is exited, the ignition switch must remain ON for at least 30 seconds to allow the door actuators to automatically recalibrate.
  10. Continuous DTCs will be deleted after 80 ignition switch ON cycles after the intermittent fault occurs.

Electronic Automatic Temperature Control Module - Retrieve Continuous DTCs

The EATC module will retrieve only continuous (intermittent) DTCs when carrying out this procedure.

Heater Core

WARNINGCarbon monoxide is colorless, odorless and dangerous. If it is necessary to operate the engine with the vehicle in a closed area such as a garage, always use an exhaust collector to vent the exhaust gases outside the closed area.
  1. Inspect for evidence of coolant leakage at the heater hose to heater core attachments. A coolant leak in the heater hose could follow the heater core tube to the heater core and appear as a leak in the heater core.
  2. Check the integrity of the heater hose clamps.

Heater Core - Plugged

WARNINGThe heater core inlet hose will become too hot to handle if the system is working correctly.
  1. Check to see that the engine coolant is at the correct level.
  2. Start the engine and turn on the heater.
  3. When the engine coolant reaches operating temperature, feel the heater core inlet and outlet hoses to see if they are hot.
  4. If the outlet only is not hot: the heater core may have an air pocket. the heater core may be plugged.
  5. If the inlet only is not hot: the thermostat may not be working correctly.

Heater Core - Pressure Test

Use the Pressure Test Kit to carry out the pressure test.

Scheme 201

Scheme 201: Heater Core - Pressure Test
  1. Drain the coolant from the cooling system.
  2. Disconnect the heater hoses from the heater core.
  3. Install a short piece of heater hose, approximately 101-mm (4-in) long on each heater core tube.
  4. Fill the heater core and heater hoses with water and install the 2 plugs BT-7422-B and the adapter BT-7422-A from the Pressure Test Kit. Secure the heater hoses, plug and adapter with hose clamps.
  5. Attach the pump and gauge assembly from the Pressure Test Kit to the adapter.
  6. Close the bleed valve at the base of the gauge. Pump 138 kPa (20 psi) of air pressure into the heater core.
  7. Observe the pressure gauge for a minimum of 3 minutes.
  8. If the pressure drops, check the heater hose connections to the core tubes for leaks. If the heater hoses do not leak, remove the heater core from the vehicle and carry out the «HEATER CORE - Bench Test»(/ford/five-hundred/i-2004-2007/remont/automatic-hvac-system/#hvac-control-system-general-information) .

Scheme 202

Scheme 202: Heater Core - Bench Test
  1. Remove the heater core from the vehicle.
  2. Drain all of the coolant from the heater core.
  3. Connect the 101-mm (4-in) test heater hoses with plug and adapter to the core tubes. Then connect the Pressure Test Kit to the adapter.
  4. Apply 138 kPa (20 psi) of air pressure to the heater core. Submerge the heater core in water.
  5. If a leak is observed, install a new heater core.

Evaporator/Condenser Core - On-Vehicle Leak Test

  1. Discharge and recover the refrigerant. For additional information, refer to «AIR CONDITIONING (A/C) SYSTEM RECOVERY, EVACUATION AND CHARGING»(/ford/five-hundred/i-2004-2007/remont/automatic-hvac-system/#hvac-control-system-general-information) .
  2. Disconnect the suspect evaporator core or condenser core from the A/C system.
  3. Clean the manifold fittings.
  4. Connect the appropriate test fittings from the A/C Fittings Set to the condenser or evaporator core tube connections.
  5. Connect the red and blue hoses from the R-134a Manifold Gauge Set to the test fittings on the evaporator core or condenser core. Connect the yellow hose to a known good vacuum pump.
  6. Open both gauge set valves and start the vacuum pump. Allow the vacuum pump to operate for a minimum of 45 minutes after the gauge set low pressure gauge indicates 101 kPa (30 in-Hg). The 45-minute evacuation is necessary to remove any refrigerant from oil left in the evaporator core or condenser core. If the refrigerant is not completely removed from the oil, outgassing will degrade the vacuum and appear as a refrigerant leak.
  7. If the low pressure gauge reading will not drop to 101 kPa (30 in-Hg) when the valves on the gauge and manifold set are open and the vacuum pump is operating, close the gauge set valves and observe the low pressure gauge. If the pressure rises rapidly to zero, a large leak is indicated. Recheck the test fitting connections and gauge set connections before installing a new evaporator core or condenser core.
  8. After evacuating for 45 minutes, close the gauge set valves and stop the vacuum pump. Observe the low pressure gauge; it should remain at the 101 kPa (30 in-Hg) mark. If the low pressure gauge reading rises 34 or more kPa (10 or more in-Hg) of vacuum from the 101 kPa (30 in-Hg) position in 10 minutes, a leak is indicated. If a very small leak is suspected, wait 30 minutes and observe the vacuum gauge. If a small amount of vacuum is lost, operate the vacuum pump with gauge valves open for an additional 30 minutes to remove any remaining refrigerant from the oil in the evaporator core or condenser core. Then recheck for loss of vacuum. If a very small leak is suspected, allow the system to sit overnight with vacuum applied and check for vacuum loss.
  9. If the evaporator core or condenser core does leak, as verified by the above procedure, install a new evaporator core or condenser core.

A/C Compressor - External Leak Test

  1. Install the A/C Pressure Test Adapter on the port of the A/C compressor, using the existing manifold retaining bolt.

  3. Attach the center hose of a manifold gauge set to a refrigerant container standing in an upright position.
  4. Hand-rotate the compressor shaft 10 complete revolutions to distribute the oil inside the A/C compressor.
  5. Open the low pressure gauge valve, the high pressure gauge valve and the valve on the refrigerant container to allow the refrigerant vapor to flow into the A/C compressor.
  6. Using the Refrigerant Leak Detector, check for leaks at the compressor shaft.
  7. If a shaft seal leak is found, replace the compressor shaft seal. If an external leak is found, install a new A/C compressor.
  8. When the leak test is complete, recover the refrigerant from the compressor.

Fluorescent Dye Detection

Note. Ford Motor Company vehicles are produced with R-134a fluorescent dye installed in the refrigerant system from the factory. The location of leaks can be pinpointed by the bright yellow-green glow of the fluorescent dye under a UV lamp. Since more than one leak can exist, make sure to inspect each component, line and fitting in the refrigerant system for a leak.

Scheme 209

Scheme 209: Fluorescent Dye Detection
  1. Check for leaks using a Rotunda-approved UV lamp. Inspect all components, lines and fittings of the refrigerant system.
  2. If a leak is found, recover the refrigerant. For additional information, refer to «AIR CONDITIONING (A/C) SYSTEM RECOVERY, EVACUATION AND CHARGING»(/ford/five-hundred/i-2004-2007/remont/automatic-hvac-system/#hvac-control-system-general-information) .

Fluorescent Dye Injection - Using an A/C Refrigerant Center and Dye Injector

Note. Fluorescent refrigerant system dye is added to the refrigerant system at the factory to assist in refrigerant system leak diagnosis using a Rotunda-approved ultraviolet blacklight. It is not necessary to add additional dye to the refrigerant system before diagnosing leaks, even if a significant amount of refrigerant has been removed from the system. Replacement suction accumulators and receiver/driers are shipped with a fluorescent dye "wafer" included in the desiccant bag which will dissolve after approximately 30 minutes of continued A/C operation. It is not necessary to add dye after flushing or filtering the refrigerant system because a new suction accumulator or receiver/drier is installed as part of the flushing or filtering procedure. Additional refrigerant system dye should only be added if more than 50% of the refrigerant system lubricant capacity has been lost due to a fitting separation, hose rupture or other damage.

Note. Before using the R-134a fluorescent dye injector for the first time, refer to the manufacturers instructions on evacuation of any non-condensable gasses from the hoses.

Note. Only connect the R-134a fluorescent dye injector to a manifold and gauge set or R-134a service center when fluorescent dye is to be injected. The R-134a fluorescent dye injector has a one way check valve that will prevent refrigerant system recovery and evacuation.

Note. Refrigerant system pressure should be between 413-551 kPa (60-80 psi) at 24°C (75°F) with the engine off.

Leak Detection

CAUTIONGood ventilation is necessary in the area where electronic A/C leak testing is to be carried out. If the surrounding air is contaminated with refrigerant gas, the leak detector will indicate this gas all the time. Odors from other chemicals such as antifreeze, diesel fuel, disc brake cleaner or other cleaning solvents can cause the same problem. Using a fan to ventilate the area to be tested before proceeding with the leak detection procedure is helpful in removing small traces of contamination from the air, but the fan should be turned off during actual testing.

System Flushing

WARNINGUse extreme care and observe all safety and service precautions related to the use of refrigerants.
WARNINGDue to refrigerant hazards, always wear safety goggles and non-penetrable gloves when working on or flushing A/C systems.
CAUTIONAn A/C refrigerant analyzer must be used before the recovery of any vehicle's A/C refrigerant. Failure to do so puts the shop's bulk refrigerant at risk of contamination. If the vehicle's A/C refrigerant is contaminated, refer the customer to the service facility that carried out the last A/C service. If the customer wishes to pay the additional cost, use the A/C recovery equipment that is designated for recovering contaminated A/C refrigerant. All contaminated A/C refrigerant must be disposed of as hazardous waste. For all equipment, follow the equipment manufacturer procedures and instructions.
CAUTIONSuction accumulator or receiver/drier, thermal expansion valve (TXV) and/or evaporator core orifice, and hoses with mufflers, should be removed when flushing the A/C system. Internal plumbing of these devices makes it impossible to correctly remove any residual-flushing agent. These components are typically discarded after A/C system contamination. Hoses without mufflers can normally be reused unless they are clogged with foreign material. The 3.785 liters (1 gallon) of A/C System Flushing Solvent YN-23 and FL1-A filter used in A/C Flush and Purge Machine 219-00022 are intended for use on one vehicle only. They may be used to flush both the A/C condenser core and the A/C evaporator core on an individual vehicle, but under no circumstances should they be used on more than one vehicle.

Note. Prior to using the A/C Flush and Purge Machine 219-00022 for the first time, review the operating instructions.

Note. Only the A/C Flush and Purge Machine kit 219-00023, which includes A/C Flush and Purge Machine 219-00022, A/C Flush and Purge Fitting Kit 219-00024 and A/C Systems Flushing Solvent, is approved for use on Ford vehicles. No other flushing device or solvent is approved for flushing heat exchangers (A/C condenser, A/C evaporator). Use of any other flusher or solvent may cause damage to the A/C system and the flushing unit.

Note. Ford Motor Company has approved a procedure to provide technicians with a non-CFC method of flushing contaminated A/C system heat exchangers. The procedure allows the specific components to be cleaned and flushed while installed in their normal in-vehicle location. The types of contamination flushed include particle matter that results from A/C compressor or desiccant failure and gummy residue that can form when refrigerant oil is overheated during A/C compressor seizure. The flushing process is a 2-step procedure that involves the use of an A/C Flush and Purge Machine 219-00022 to: circulate the flushing solvent through the heat exchanger in the reverse direction of normal refrigerant flow (back-flushing). Particulate matter picked up during flushing is filtered from the returning solvent before the solvent is returned to the reservoir for continued circulation. remove the flushing solvent from the heat exchanger. In this step of the procedure, pressurized air 621-862 kPa (90-125 psi) is used to push and evaporate any remaining flush solvent from the heat exchanger.

  1. Recover the refrigerant. For additional information, refer to «AIR CONDITIONING (A/C) SYSTEM RECOVERY, EVACUATION AND CHARGING»(/ford/five-hundred/i-2004-2007/remont/automatic-hvac-system/#hvac-control-system-general-information) .
  2. Disconnect the refrigerant lines from the heat exchanger(s) to be flushed.
  3. Connect the A/C flush and purge machine fitting kit and the A/C flush and purge machine to the heat exchanger to be flushed. Do not flush through the evaporator core orifice (if equipped), TXV (if equipped), or hoses with mufflers. Internal plumbing and material make-up of these components make it impossible to correctly remove foreign material or residual flushing solvent.
  4. Flush the heat exchanger for a minimum of 15 minutes.
  5. Apply 621-862 kPa (90-125 psi) pressurized auto the component for a minimum of 30 minutes. The 30-minute purge time is required to force and evaporate all residual solvent from the A/C system component. Failure to successfully remove all residual solvent within the component can result in system damage when reconnected and operated. Dispose of the used flush solvent and filter in accordance with local, state and federal regulations.
  6. Install a new A/C evaporator core orifice (if equipped) and/or TXV (if equipped) in any vehicle being serviced for an internal A/C compressor or desiccant failure.
  7. Install new refrigerant hoses with mufflers if clogged with foreign material.
  8. Install a new suction accumulator (if equipped) or receiver/drier (if equipped) in any vehicle being serviced for an internal A/C compressor or desiccant failure.
  9. Reconnect the heat exchanger being serviced.
  10. If a new A/C compressor is not to be installed, lubricate the refrigerant system with the correct amount of clean PAG oil. For additional information, refer to «REFRIGERANT OIL ADDING»(/ford/five-hundred/i-2004-2007/remont/automatic-hvac-system/#hvac-control-system-general-information__refrigerant-oil-adding) .
  11. If a new A/C compressor is not to be installed, evacuate, leak test and charge the A/C system. For additional information, refer to «AIR CONDITIONING (A/C) SYSTEM RECOVERY, EVACUATION AND CHARGING»(/ford/five-hundred/i-2004-2007/remont/automatic-hvac-system/#hvac-control-system-general-information) .

Refrigerant Oil Adding

CAUTIONDuring normal A/C operation, oil is circulated through the system with the refrigerant, and a small amount is retained in each component. If certain components of the system are removed, some of the refrigerant oil will go with the component. To maintain the original total oil charge, it is necessary to compensate for the oil lost by adding oil to the system with the new part.
  1. Refer to the chart below for refrigerant oil adding amounts and methods of installation. REFRIGERANT OIL ADDING AMOUNTS AND METHODS Component PAG Oil Amount Method of Adding A/C Compressor See heading below Add directly to A/C compressor before installation.

Refrigerant Identification

  1. Follow the instructions included with the refrigerant identifier to obtain the sample for testing.
  2. The scan tool will display one of the following: If the purity level of R-134a is 98% or greater by weight, the green "PASS" light emitting diode (LED) will light. The weight concentrations of R-134a, R-12, R-22, hydrocarbons and air will be displayed on the digital display. If refrigerant R-134a does not meet the 98% purity level, the red "FAIL" LED will light and an alarm will sound alerting the user of potential hazards. The weight concentrations of R-134a, R-12, R-22 and hydrocarbons will be displayed on the digital display. If hydrocarbon concentrations are 2% or greater by weight, the red "FAIL" LED will light, "Hydrocarbon High" will be displayed on the digital display, and an alarm will sound alerting the user of potential hazards. The weight concentrations of R-134a, R-12, R-22 and hydrocarbons will also be displayed on the digital display.
  3. The percentage of air contained in the sample will be displayed if the R-134a content is 98% or greater. The scan tool eliminates the effect of air when determining the refrigerant sample content because air is not considered a contaminant, although air can affect A/C system performance. When the scan tool has determined that a refrigerant source is pure (R-134a is 98% or greater by weight) and air concentration levels are 2% or greater by weight, the scan tool will prompt the user if an air purge is desired.
  4. If contaminated refrigerant is detected, repeat the refrigerant identification test to verify that the refrigerant is indeed contaminated.

Contaminated Refrigerant Handling

CAUTIONIf contaminated refrigerant is detected, DO NOT recover the refrigerant into R-134a recovery/recycling equipment.

Note. A new suction accumulator or receiver/drier must be installed as directed by the air conditioning system flushing procedure.

  1. Recover the contaminated refrigerant using suitable recovery-only equipment designed for capturing and storing contaminated refrigerant only. If this equipment is not available, contact an A/C service facility in your area with the correct equipment to carry out this service.
  2. Determine and correct the cause of the customers initial concern.
  3. Flush the air conditioning system.
  4. Dispose of the contaminated refrigerant in accordance with all federal, state and local regulations.

A/C Odor Treatment

WARNINGAvoid contact with eyes and skin. Contact with eyes and skin will cause irritation. Wear chemical goggles when using the A/C cooling coil coating.
WARNINGThis procedure should only be carried out in well ventilated areas. Open all windows and doors of the vehicle. Leave doors and windows open during the entire procedure. Avoid breathing vapors.
WARNINGRead all instructions and warnings packaged with the A/C cooling coil coating. For additional information, see the material safety data sheet (MSDS) for this product.

Note. There are typically 4 types of objectionable odors found in a vehicle: Chemical odors Environmental odors Human and other interior-generated odors Microbiological odors

Before determining that A/C order treatment is required, the source and the circumstances under which the odor occurs must be determined.

Note. Chemical odors are usually constant regardless of the climate control system setting although they may be enhanced by A/C operation. Most chemical odors are caused by fluid leaks or incorrectly cured adhesives. Chemical odors can be eliminated by repairing the leaking component and removing any residue.

Note. Environmental odors usually occur for a short time and diminish after the vehicle passes through the affected area. These odors are typically only detected when the vehicle windows are open, or when the climate control system is operating in a mode that allows for fresh air. Environmental odors cannot be eliminated because they are external in source, but they may be minimized by switching to a climate control setting that uses recirculated air.

Note. Human and other interior-generated odors occur while the source is present and may linger for a short time after. These odors may be more noticeable during A/C operation. Human odors may be eliminated by removing the source and cleaning the affected area.

Note. Microbiological odors, if in the A/C system, usually last for about 30 seconds after the system is turned on. They will be detected while the A/C is turned on and using either outside or recirculated air. Microbiological odors that occur in areas other than the A/C system (for example, water in doors or wet carpeting) may last indefinitely and will be more intense when recirculated air is used. Microbiological odors will not be present at temperatures at or below 10°C (50°F).

Microbiological odors can be eliminated by removing the source and treating the affected area. Standing water must be allowed to drain and dry out. A/C systems may be treated by using A/C cooling coil coating as described in the service procedure below.

Microbiological odors result from microbial growth supported by warm temperatures and moisture. Microbiological odors are described as musty/mildew type smells and may occur on/in

  1. foam seals.
  2. rubber seals.
  3. adhesives.
  4. standing water.
  5. water soaked carpet/trim.
