A/C Signal Circuit Troubleshooting
- Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
- Momentarily connect ECM/PCM connector terminals A24 and E18 with a jumper wire several times.
Is there a clicking noise from the A/C compressor clutch?
- YES - Go to step 3.
- NO - Go to step 6.
- Start the engine.
- Turn the blower switch ON.
- Turn the A/C switch ON.
Does the A/C operate?
- YES - The air conditioning signal is OK.
- NO - Reprogram the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good ECM/PCM, then recheck (see ECM/PCM REPROGRAMMING AND SUBSTITUTION FOR TESTING ). If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good ECM/PCM, replace the original ECM/PCM.
- Momentarily connect the under-hood fuse/relay box 14P connector terminal No. 10 and body ground with a jumper wire several times.Fig 2: Momentarily Connecting Under-Hood Fuse/Relay Box 14-Pin Connector Terminal No. 10 & Body Ground
Is there a clicking noise from the A/C compressor clutch?
- YES - Repair open in the wire between the ECM/PCM (E18) and the A/C clutch relay.
- NO - Check the A/C system for other symptoms.
