GENERAL
The Air Conditioning (A/C) system transfers heat from the vehicle interior to the outside atmosphere to provide the heater assembly with dehumidified cool air. The system consists of:
^ A compressor.
^ A condenser.
^ A receiver drier.
^ A thermostatic expansion valve.
^ An evaporator.
^ Low and high pressure refrigerant lines.

The system is a sealed, closed loop, filled with a charge weight of R134a refrigerant as the heat transfer medium. Oil is added to the refrigerant to lubricate the internal components of the compressor.

Operation of the air conditioning system is controlled by the Automatic Temperature Control Module (ATCM).
