Due to its variable displacement feature, carefully diagnose any insufficient cooling conditions with the V-5 compressor. Liquid refrigerant may normally collect in the compressor crankcase during extended periods of shutdown. Therefore, cooling action may be delayed up to 2 minutes until the refrigerant is pumped from the compressor crankcase.

If the delay in cooling exceeds 2 minutes, perform the following procedure:

1. Select the NORM A/C position.
2. Select the high blower position.
3. Ensure that the A/C compressor clutch is engaged.
4. Ensure that the electrical engine is operating.
5. Ensure that the A/C is operating.
6. Idle the engine for 2 minutes.
7. Perform the following procedure if cooling does not occur:

7.1.	Operate the engine at approximately 3,000 RPM for 1 minute.

7.2.	Ensure that the engine is idling.

7.3.	Select the mode control to the VENT position for 1 minute.

8. Set the A/C system back to NORM A/C mode.
9. Ensure that the A/C system is operating.
10. Run the engine at approximately 3,000 RPM for 1 minute.
11. Perform the following procedure if cooling still does not occur:

11.1.

Ensure that the A/C system is operating.

11.2.

Drive the vehicle in a normal manner for 5 minutes.

11.3.

Inspect the A/C system for normal operation. If cooling does not occur, refer to VDOT A/C System Diagnosis (Preliminary Checks).
