Chrysler Crossfire. Manual - part 989

BODY VERIFICATION TEST

Turn the ignition off.

Disconnect all jumper wires and reconnect all previously disconnected components and connectors.

Note: If the SKREEM or the PCM was replaced, refer to the service information for proper programming
procedures.
If the Body Control Module was replaced, turn the ignition on for 15 seconds (to allow the new BCM to learn VIN)
or engine may not start.

Program all RKE transmitters and other options as necessary.

With the DRB III

, erase all Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) from ALL modules. Start the engine and allow it to

run for 2 minutes. Operate all functions of the system that caused the original complaint.

Ensure that all accessories are turned off and the battery is fully charged.

Turn the ignition off and wait 5 seconds. Turn the ignition on and using the DRB III

, read DTCs from ALL modules.

Are any DTCs present or is the original complaint still present?

Are any DTCs present?

YES

>> Repair is not complete, refer to appropriate symptom.

>> Repair is complete.

HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING - SERVICE INFORMATION

DESCRIPTION

COOLING SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

To maintain the performance level of the Heating & Air Conditioning System, the engine cooling system must be
properly maintained. Any obstructions in front of the radiator or condenser will reduce the performance of the Air
Conditioning and Engine Cooling Systems.

The engine cooling system includes the heater core and the heater hoses. Refer to Cooling for more information
before attempting any service to the Engine Cooling System.

DESCRIPTION - HEATER AND AIR CONDITIONER

WARNING: THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM CONTAINS REFRIGERANT UNDER HIGH PRESSURE. SEVERE
PERSONAL INJURY MAY RESULT FROM IMPROPER SERVICE PROCEDURES. REPAIRS SHOULD ONLY BE
PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
AVOID BREATHING THE REFRIGERANT AND REFRIGERANT OIL VAPOR OR MIST. EXPOSURE MAY IRRI-
TATE THE EYES, NOSE, AND/OR THROAT. WEAR EYE PROTECTION WHEN SERVICING THE AIR CONDI-
TIONING REFRIGERANT SYSTEM. SERIOUS EYE INJURY CAN RESULT FROM DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE
REFRIGERANT. IF EYE CONTACT OCCURS, SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
DO NOT EXPOSE THE REFRIGERANT TO OPEN FLAME. POISONOUS GAS IS CREATED WHEN REFRIGER-
ANT IS BURNED. AN ELECTRONIC LEAK DETECTOR IS RECOMMENDED.
IF ACCIDENTAL SYSTEM DISCHARGE OCCURS, VENTILATE THE WORK AREA BEFORE RESUMING SER-
VICE. LARGE AMOUNTS OF REFRIGERANT RELEASED IN A CLOSED WORK AREA WILL DISPLACE THE
OXYGEN AND CAUSE SUFFOCATION.
THE EVAPORATION RATE OF R-134a REFRIGERANT AT AVERAGE TEMPERATURE AND ALTITUDE IS
EXTREMELY HIGH. AS A RESULT, ANYTHING THAT COMES IN CONTACT WITH THE REFRIGERANT WILL
FREEZE. ALWAYS PROTECT THE SKIN OR DELICATE OBJECTS FROM DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE
REFRIGERANT.
THE R-134a SERVICE EQUIPMENT OR THE VEHICLE REFRIGERANT SYSTEM SHOULD NOT BE PRESSURE
TESTED OR LEAK TESTED WITH COMPRESSED AIR. SOME MIXTURES OF AIR AND R-134a HAVE BEEN
SHOWN TO BE COMBUSTIBLE AT ELEVATED PRESSURES. THESE MIXTURES ARE POTENTIALLY DAN-
GEROUS, AND MAY RESULT IN FIRE OR EXPLOSION CAUSING INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

CAUTION: Liquid refrigerant is corrosive to metal surfaces. Follow the operating instructions supplied with
the service equipment being used.
Never add R-12 to a refrigerant system designed to use R-134a. Damage to the system will result.
R-12 refrigerant oil must not be mixed with R-134a refrigerant oil. They are not compatible.
Do not use R-12 equipment or parts on the R-134a system. Damage to the system will result.
Do not overcharge the refrigerant system. This will cause excessive compressor head pressure and can
cause noise and system failure.
Recover the refrigerant before opening any fitting or connection. Open the fittings with caution, even after
the system has been discharged. Never open or loosen a connection before recovering the refrigerant.
The refrigerant system must always be evacuated before charging.
Do not open the refrigerant system or uncap a replacement component until you are ready to service the
system. This will prevent contamination in the system.
Before disconnecting a component, clean the outside of the fittings thoroughly to prevent contamination
from entering the refrigerant system.
Immediately after disconnecting a component from the refrigerant system, seal the open fittings with a cap
or plug.
Before connecting an open refrigerant fitting, always install a new seal or gasket. Coat the fitting and seal
with clean refrigerant oil before connecting.
Do not remove the sealing caps from a replacement component until it is to be installed.
When installing a refrigerant line, avoid sharp bends that may restrict refrigerant flow. Position the refrig-
erant lines away from exhaust system components or any sharp edges, which may damage the line.
Tighten refrigerant fittings only to the specified torque. The aluminum fittings used in the refrigerant system
will not tolerate overtightening.
When disconnecting a refrigerant fitting, use a wrench on both halves of the fitting. This will prevent twist-
ing of the refrigerant lines or tubes.
Refrigerant oil will absorb moisture from the atmosphere if left uncapped. Do not open a container of refrig-
erant oil until you are ready to use it. Replace the cap on the oil container immediately after using. Store
refrigerant oil only in a clean, airtight, and moisture-free container.
Keep service tools and the work area clean. Contamination of the refrigerant system through careless work
habits must be avoided.

A manual dual-zone temperature control type heating-air conditioning system is standard on this model.
