Principles of Operation
There are 4 main principles involved with the basic theory of operation:
l Heat transfer
l Latent heat of vaporization
l Relative humidity
l 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 occupants 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 (CASS)
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:
l The ignition is off for more than 8 hours

l The ambient temperature is above -4°C (25°F)
l Battery voltage is above 8.5 volts during engine cranking
When these conditions are present, the 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
25/06/2011 Page 2 of 104

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
system settings.
The Refrigerant Cycle
During stabilized conditions (A/C 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 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.

Pinpoint Tests
Pinpoint Test A: DTC P0532 or P0533
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 23 ( Fusion/MKZ , Fusion Hybrid/MKZ Hybrid ), Electronic Engine
Controls — 2.3L for schematic and connector information.
Normal Operation
Under normal operation, the A/C pressure transducer receives a ground from the PCM through circuit
RE407 (YE/VT). A 5-volt reference voltage is supplied to the A/C pressure transducer from the PCM
through circuit LE424 (YE/GN). The A/C pressure transducer sends voltage to the PCM through circuit
VH433 (VT/OG) to indicate the A/C pressure.
l DTC P0532 (A/C Pressure Refrigerant Sensor A Circuit Low) — The A/C pressure transducer
inputs a voltage to the PCM. If the voltage is below the calibrated level, this DTC sets.
l DTC P0533 (A/C Pressure Refrigerant Sensor A Circuit High) — The A/C pressure transducer
inputs a voltage to the PCM. If the voltage is above the calibrated level, this DTC sets.

Normal Operation
Under normal operation, to rotate the mode door actuator, the HVAC module supplies voltage or ground
to the DEFROST/PANEL/FLOOR mode door actuator motor through circuit CH228 (YE/GY), and
supplies ground or voltage through circuit CH229 (WH/BU) depending on desired rotation direction.
The mode door actuator feedback resistor is supplied a ground from the HVAC module through circuit
RH111 (GY/BU) and a 5-volt reference voltage on circuit LH111 (BN/WH). The HVAC module reads the
voltage on the mode door actuator feedback circuit VH436 (YE/VT) to determine the mode door actuator
position by the position of the actuator feedback resistor wiper arm.

Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) bus to the PCM.
For all vehicles equipped with navigation , when MAX A/C is selected on the touch screen, the Audio
Control Module (ACM) sends a message over the MS-CAN bus to the HVAC module that MAX A/C has
been selected.
For Fusion not equipped with navigation , when A/C is requested, a message is sent over the MS-
CAN bus to the IC , then from the IC through the HS-CAN bus to the PCM.
Ignition voltage is provided to the A/C clutch relay switch through circuit SBB25 (RD). When the PCM
energizes the relay, ignition voltage is supplied to the A/C clutch through circuit CH401 (VT/WH).
Ground is supplied for the A/C clutch through circuit GD121 (BK/YE).
When an A/C request is received by the PCM, the A/C compressor clutch will only be engaged through
the A/C clutch relay if all of the following conditions are met:
l The PCM does not detect excessively high or low refrigerant pressure from the A/C pressure
transducer.
l The PCM does not detect excessively high engine coolant temperature.
l The PCM does not detect an ambient air temperature below -1°C (30°F).
l The PCM has not detected a Wide Open Throttle (WOT) condition.
l The HVAC module does not detect an evaporator discharge air temperature below 2°C (36°F).

Pinpoint Test P: Temperature Control is Inoperative/Does Not Operate Correctly
Normal Operation
Under normal operation, to rotate the temperature blend door actuator clockwise, the HVAC module
supplies voltage to the temperature blend door actuators through the door actuator feed A circuits, and
supplies ground through the door actuator feed B circuits. To rotate the temperature blend door actuator
counterclockwise, the HVAC module reverses the voltage and ground circuits.
The temperature blend door actuator feedback resistors are supplied a ground from the HVAC module
by the temperature blend door actuator return circuits and a 5-volt reference voltage on the temperature
blend door actuator reference circuits. The HVAC module reads the voltage on the temperature blend
door actuator feedback circuits to determine the temperature blend door actuator position by the position
of the actuator feedback resistor wiper arm.
NOTE: For the passenger side temperature setting on hybrid vehicles equipped with dual-zone
Electronic Automatic Temperature Control (EATC) and a Front Controls Interface Module (FCIM) built on
or after 04/08/2009 to be functional, a passenger must be seated in the front passenger seat. If the front
passenger seat is not occupied, the HVAC module will control the system based only on the driver side
temperature setting. The HVAC module receives a Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN)
signal from the FCIM to indicate if the front passenger seat is occupied.

Pinpoint Test Q: The Blower Motor is Inoperative — EMTC
Normal Operation
Under normal operation, the blower motor relay coil receives ignition voltage through circuit CBP45 (YE).
The coil receives ground from the HVAC module — Electronic Manual Temperature Control (EMTC)
through circuit CH123 (VT/GN) if any function selector position but OFF is selected. Voltage is supplied
to the relay switch contact through circuit SBB06 (BN/RD). When the relay coil is energized, voltage is
delivered to the blower motor through circuit CH402 (YE/GN). Ground for the blower motor is provided
through circuit CH426 (YE/OG) from the blower resistor or the blower switch (HI). The blower resistor
and blower switch is grounded through circuit GD115 (BK/GY).

Normal Operation
Under normal operation, the blower motor is provided ground from the blower resistor through circuit
CH426 (YE/OG). The resistor gets a ground from circuit GD115 (BK/GY) in the lowest blower setting. In
MED-LO and MED-HI the resistor gets ground from the blower motor switch through circuit CH428
(GN/WH) or CH429 (GY/BN), depending on selected speed. In HI, the blower motor is grounded directly
through the blower motor switch from circuit CH426 (YE/OG) to circuit GD115 (BK/GY). The blower
switch receives its ground from circuit GD115 (BK/GY).

Heater Core
1. NOTE: If a heater core leak is suspected, the heater core must be tested by following the
Plugged Heater Core Component Test before the heater core pressure test. Carry out a system
inspection by checking the heater system thoroughly as follows:
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. NOTE: Spring-type clamps are installed as original equipment. Installation and overtightening of
non-specified clamps can cause leakage at the heater hose connection and damage the heater
core.
25/06/2011 Page 100 of 104

Check the integrity of the heater hose clamps.
Heater Core — Plugged
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, using a suitable temperature measuring
device, check the core inlet and outlet hoses to see if they are hot.
4. If the outlet only is not hot:

l the heater core may have an air pocket.
l the heater core may be plugged.
5. If the inlet only is not hot:

l the thermostat may not be working correctly.
Heater Core — Pressure Test
WARNING: Before disconnecting any heater water hoses, shut OFF the engine and wait
until engine is fully cool. Failure to comply with this warning may result in serious injury or burns
from hot liquid escaping from the engine cooling system.
Use the Pressure Test Kit to carry out the pressure test.
1. NOTE: Due to space limitations, a bench test may be necessary for pressure testing.
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 plug 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.
25/06/2011 Page 101 of 104

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 bench test.
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. Refer to Air Conditioning (A/C) System Recovery,
Evacuation and Charging in this section.
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 Flush Adapter Kit to the condenser or
evaporator core tube connections.
5. NOTE: The automatic shut-off valves on some gauge set hoses do not open when connected to
the test fittings. If available, use hoses without shut-off valves. If hoses with shut-off valves are
used, make sure the valve opens when attached to the test fittings or install an adapter that will
activate the valve. The test is not valid if the shut-off valve does not open.
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.
25/06/2011 Page 102 of 104

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.
l 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.
l If a very small leak is suspected, wait 30 minutes and observe the vacuum gauge.
l 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.
l 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 appropriate adapter from the A/C Flush Adapter Kit on the port of the A/C compressor,
using the existing manifold retaining bolt.
2. Connect the high- and low-pressure lines of a manifold gauge set or a refrigerant
recovery/recycling station to the corresponding fittings on the adapter.
3. Attach the center hose of a manifold gauge set to a refrigerant container standing in an upright
position.
4. 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.
5. Using the Refrigerant Leak Detector, check for leaks at the compressor shaft.
6. If a shaft seal leak is found, install a new compressor shaft seal. If an external leak is found,
install a new A/C compressor.
7. When the leak test is complete, recover the refrigerant from the compressor.
