A/C Clutch Relay
- A/C clutch relay is controlled by ECM. Under normal conditions, ECM will engage clutch relay by providing a ground circuit for relay windings. If ECM receives a wide open throttle signal from throttle position sensor while it is also receiving an A/C on signal from A/C auto amplifier, ECM will disengage relay.
- Remove A/C relay. On G20, A/C clutch relay is located in relay box on right side of engine compartment. On Q45, relay is located on right inner fender panel, rear of strut tower.
- Apply battery voltage to terminals No. 1 and 2. See Figure. Continuity should exist between terminals No. 3 and 5. When battery voltage is removed, continuity should not exist. Replace relay if continuity is not as specified.
