Vehicle: 1995 Oldsmobile Silhouette 3.8 V6 GAS
While a detailed diagnostic procedure for all air conditioning systems would be impractical due to the many variations in construction and operation, there are three fundamental components of a total diagnosis:
- Refrigerant systems must have an adequate, but not excessive charge.
- Determination must be made whether the refrigerant system is governed by a cycling clutch compressor or by valves which control evaporator pressure.
- The air distribution system (blower motor, switches, vacuum lines and air ducts) must be operational before checking the refrigera...

Accessing Diagnostic Trouble Codes
1992
Diagnostic trouble codes can be accessed by connecting a TECH 1 or equivalent scan tool or by manually grounding the Assembly Line Diagnostic Link (ALDL) connector. To manually ground the ALDL connector, connect a jumper wire between terminals A and H, Fig. , and observe the flashes of the brake warning lamp. Note the following when performing the Diagnostic Circuit Check to access diagnostic trouble codes:
- When terminals are jumped, count number of short flashes starting from initial long flash, include long flash in count.
- The count se...
