Schematic Reference: HVAC Schematics Connector End View Reference: HVAC Connector End Views DEFINITION: The air conditioning (A/C) compressor clutch will not disengage when an A/C request has not been made and a powertrain DTC has not been set. | ||||
1 | Did you review the HVAC operation and perform the necessary inspections? | -- | Go to Step 2 | |
2 |
Does the air conditioning (A/C) compressor operate? | -- | Go to Step 3 | Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems |
3 | With a scan tool, observe the A/C request parameter in the Powertrain data list. Does the scan tool indicate that the A/C request parameter is YES? | -- | Go to Step 4 | Go to Step 6 |
4 | Test the A/C request signal circuit for a short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 17 | Go to Step 5 |
5 |
Does the scan tool indicate that the A/C request parameter is YES? | -- | Go to Step 12 | Go to Step 11 |
6 | Remove the A/C compressor clutch relay. Does the A/C compressor clutch turn OFF? | -- | Go to Step 7 | Go to Step 9 |
7 | Measure the resistance between the switch side A/C compressor clutch relay terminals. Does the resistance measurement equal the specified value? | ∞ | Go to Step 8 | Go to Step 10 |
8 | Test the A/C clutch relay control circuit for a short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 17 | Go to Step 12 |
9 | Test the A/C compressor clutch supply voltage circuit for a short to voltage. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 17 | Go to Step 14 |
10 | Inspect for poor connections at the A/C compressor clutch relay. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 17 | Go to Step 13 |
11 | Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the HVAC control assembly. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 17 | Go to Step 15 |
12 | Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the powertrain control module (PCM). Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 17 | Go to Step 16 |
13 | Replace the A/C compressor clutch relay. Did you complete the replacement? | -- | Go to Step 17 | -- |
14 | Replace the A/C compressor clutch. Refer to Compressor Clutch Plate/Hub Assembly Replacement in Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning. Did you complete the replacement? | -- | Go to Step 17 | -- |
15 | Replace the HVAC control assembly. Refer to Heater and Air Conditioning Control Replacement . Did you complete the replacement? | -- | Go to Step 17 | -- |
16 | Replace the PCM. Refer to Control Module References in Computer/Integrating Systems for replacement, setup, and programming. Did you complete the replacement? | -- | Go to Step 17 | -- |
17 | Operate the system in order to verify the repair. Did you correct the condition? | -- | System OK | Go to Step 3 |
