Diagnostic Test

  1. 1) A/C CLUTCH OPERATION 

    Ignition on, engine not running.

    With a scan tool under the PCM Actuators, actuate the A/C Clutch.

    Is the A/C Clutch operating? 

    Yes 

    1. Refer to the INTERMITTENT CONDITION Diagnostic Procedure. Refer to INTERMITTENT CONDITION .
    2. Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

    No 

    1. Go to  2).
  2. 2) A/C CLUTCH CONTROL OPERATION FROM THE PCM 

    Turn the ignition off.

    Disconnect the C1 TIPM harness connector.

    Ignition on, engine not running.

    Using the scan tool under the PCM Actuators, actuate the A/C Clutch.

    With a 12-volt test light connected to ground, probe the (C3) A/C Clutch Control circuit in the C1 TIPM harness connector.

    Does the test light illuminate brightly and flash on an off? 

    Yes 

    1. Go to  3).

    No 

    1. Perform the Diagnostic Procedure for P0645-A/C CLUTCH CONTROL CIRCUIT. Refer to P0645-A/C CLUTCH RELAY CIRCUIT .
