A/C Clutch Control Circuit Diagnosis

D06RY00159

Circuit Description

When air conditioning and blower fan are selected, and if
the system has a sufficient refrigerant charge,  a 12-volt
signal is supplied to the A/C request input of the
powertrain control module (PCM).  The A/C request
signal may be temporarily canceled during system
operation by the electronic thermostat in the evaporator
case. When the A/C request signal is received by the
PCM, the PCM supplies a ground from the compressor
clutch relay if the engine operating conditions are within
acceptable ranges.  With the A/C compressor relay
energized, voltage is supplied to the compressor clutch
coil.
The PCM will enable the compressor clutch to engage
whenever A/C has been selected with the engine running,
unless any of the following conditions are present:

D

The throttle is greater than 90%.

D

The ignition voltage is below 10.5 volts.

D

The engine speed is greater than 4500 RPM for 5
seconds or 5400 RPM.

D

The engine coolant temperature (ECT) is greater
than 125 

°

C (257 

°

F).

D

The intake air temperature (IAT) is less than 5

°

C

(41

°

F).

D

The power steering pressure switch signals a high
pressure condition.

Diagnostic Aids

To diagnose an the intermittent fault, check for following
conditions:

D

Poor connection at the PCM–Inspect connections for
backed-out terminals, improper mating, broken locks,
improperly formed or damaged terminals, and poor
terminal-to-wire connection.

D

Damaged harness–Inspect the wiring harness for
damage.  If the harness appears to OK, observe the
A/C clutch while moving connectors and wiring
harnesses related to the A/C.  A sudden clutch
malfunction will indicate the source of the intermittent
fault.

A/C Clutch Diagnosis

This chart should be used for diagnosing the electrical
portion of the A/C compressor clutch circuit.  A Tech 2 will
be used in diagnosing the system.  The Tech 2 has the
ability to read the A/C request input to the PCM.  The
Tech 2 can display when the PCM has commanded the
A/C clutch “ON”.  The Tech 2 should have the ability to
override the A/C request signal and energize the A/C
compressor relay.

Test Description

IMPORTANT:

Do not engage the A/C compressor

clutch with the engine running if an A/C mode is not
selected at the A/C control switch.
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
Diagnostic Chart:

3. This a test determine is the problem is with the

refrigerant system.  If the switch is open, A/C
pressure gauges will be used to determine if the
pressure switch is faulty or if the system is partially
discharged or empty.

4. Although the normal complaint will be the A/C clutch

failing to engage, it is possible for a short circuit to
cause the clutch to run when A/C has not been
selected.  This step is a test for that condition.

7. There is an extremely low probability that both relays

will fail at the same time, so the substitution process
is one way to check the A/C Thermostat relay.  Use
a known good relay to do a substitution check.
