REDUCED A/C PERFORMANCE REPLACE LIQUID LINES

SUBJECT: REDUCED A/C PERFORMANCE - PERFORM DIAGNOSTICS/REPLACE LIQUID LINES

MODELS/YEARS: 1991 CUSTOM CRUISER

CONDITION: Some 1991 Custom Cruisers built between vehicle number MW304592 and MW307085 may exhibit reduced A/C performance. This condition will be indicated by a 10 degree temperature increase (higher than specified) at the center duct and a low side pressure that will not reach the 24 PSIG compres- sor cycle 'off' point.

CAUSE: The liquid line may be oversized at the location of the orifice tube, allowing refrigerant to 'bypass' the orifice tube.

CORRECTION: The technician should perform the 'poor performance diagnostics' as outlined in the Service Manual. If the performance is not improved when following the guidelines, replace the liquid line.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
