A/C compressor relay signal check
1) Connect scan tool to DLC with ignition switch turned
OFF.
2) Start engine and then operate A/C system.
3) Check A/C compressor relay control signal of “A/C
Comp Relay” under “Data List” displayed on scan tool.
• A/C switch is at ON position and blower selector is
other than OFF position: “ON”.
• A/C switch is at OFF position and blower selector is at
OFF position: “OFF”.
Does “A/C Comp Relay” signal correctly?
Intermittent trouble.
Check for intermittent
referring to “Intermittent
and Poor Connection

A/C compressor relay control signal check
1) Disconnect connectors from ECM with ignition switch
turned OFF.
2) Check that A/C compressor relay control signal circuit
voltage between ECM connector and vehicle body
ground.
• Ignition switch is at “ON” position: 10 – 14 V
• Ignition switch is at “OFF” position: 0 – 1 V
Is it in good condition?
Substitute a known
good ECM and recheck.
Go to Step 4.

A/C compressor relay power supply voltage check
1) Turn ignition switch to OFF position.
2) Remove A/C compressor relay.
3) Check that A/C compressor relay power supply voltage
between A/C compressor relay connector and vehicle
body ground.
• Ignition switch is at “ON” position: 10 – 14 V
• Ignition switch is at “OFF” position: 0 – 1 V
Is it in good condition?
Go to Step 5.

Check A/C compressor relay for operation referring to “A/C
Compressor Relay Inspection in Section 7B”.
Is it in good condition?
Control signal circuit of
A/C compressor relay is
open or short. If circuit is
OK, substitute a known
