SYMPTOM/CONDITION

Subject model vehicles are equipped with an antidiesel relay that is designed to engage the air conditioning compressor for a period of 5 to 10 seconds after the ignition switch is turned off. This puts a load on the engine and eliminates engine after-run (dieseling).

For complaints of dieseling on these vehicles, check the wiring connections at the relay to ensure they are proper (see illustrations). If necessary, correct as follows:

FIGURE 1:

REPAIR PROCEDURE

The anti-diesel relay is a gold colored relay located on the left shock tower on the front side (Figure 1). There are two insulators connected to the relay. One is a black 2-way and the other is a red 3-way.

1. Disconnect the red 3-way from the relay.

FIGURE 2:

2. Using a small screwdriver, depress the locking tang on the back side of the female terminal. Holding the blue wire with the black tracer, remove wire from the insulator.

3. Repeat this operation with the blue wire with the orange tracer (Figure 2).

FIGURE 3:

4. Carefully bend the locking tang on each terminal back to its original angle of 30~ (Figure 3).

FIGURE 2:

5. Insert each terminal into the opposite terminal from which it came (Figure 2). (Be sure that locking tang "clicks" into its locked position.)
6. Reconnect the red insulator to the relay and verify proper antidiesel relay operation.
