A/C System Performance
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1995 Eagle Vision, 1995 Dodge Intrepid, 1995 Chrysler New Yorker, 1995 Chrysler LHS, and 1995 Chrysler Concorde. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Park vehicle out of direct sunlight. Ambient air and in-vehicle temperatures must be greater than 70°F (21°C). Ensure ambient air temperature reading agrees with overhead console temperature display (if equipped). If temperature difference is significant, A/C system performance results could be affected. Install a tachometer and compressor manifold gauge set. Start engine and allow it to run at 1000 RPM with A/C turned off.
- Close all vehicle doors and windows. After initial compressor cycling, turn A/C on and hold engine speed at 1000 RPM. Turn mode door selector to REC position. Turn temperature selector to full cold position. Turn fan control switch to high blower position. Insert thermometer into left center A/C outer and operate system for 5 minutes.
- System is okay if temperature and system pressures are as specified. See A/C SYSTEM PERFORMANCE TEMPERATURE SPECIFICATIONS and A/C SYSTEM PERFORMANCE PRESSURE SPECIFICATIONS tables.
