A/C Request Signal Circuit Diagnosis
Turning on A/C system supplies battery voltage to A/C compressor clutch and Powertrain Control Module (PCM) terminal E12 through circuit No. 59, increasing idle speed. PCM does not control A/C compressor clutch. If A/C compressor clutch is malfunctioning, repair basic A/C system problem. If A/C system is operating properly and idle speed drops too low when A/C compressor turns on or flares too high when A/C compressor turns off, check for an open circuit No. 59 to PCM. If circuit is okay, repair faulty PCM connection (terminal E12) or replace faulty PCM.
