No. 23 A/C Does Not Work Sufficiently: Notes

23 A/C DOES NOT WORK SUFFICIENTLY
DESCRIPTION 
  • A/C compressor magnetic clutch does not engage when A/C switch is turned on.
POSSIBLE CAUSE 
  • PCM, instrument cluster or climate control unit DTC is stored
  • Refrigerant pressure sensor malfunction
  • Improper refrigerant charging amount
  • Seized A/C compressor
  • Evaporator temperature sensor malfunction
  • Open or short circuit in wiring harness between the following terminals:
    • Evaporator temperature sensor terminal B-Climate control unit terminal J (with manual air conditioner system)
    • Evaporator temperature sensor terminal A-Climate control unit terminal E (with manual air conditioner system)
    • Evaporator temperature sensor terminal B-Climate control unit terminal 1L (with full-auto air conditioner system)
    • Evaporator temperature sensor terminal A-Climate control unit terminal 1J (with full-auto air conditioner system)
  • Instrument cluster malfunction (Does not receive A/C request signal from climate control unit or transmit it to PCM)
  • Climate control unit malfunction (A/C switch malfunction or climate control unit does not determine A/C request or transmit A/C request signal)
  • Open circuit in wiring harness between magnetic clutch and body ground
  • A/C relay stuck open
  • Open circuit in wiring harness between the following terminals:
    • Front body control module (FBCM) terminal 1C-A/C relay terminal A
    • Battery positive terminal-A/C relay terminal C
    • A/C relay terminal D-Magnetic clutch terminal A
    • A/C relay terminal E-PCM terminal 2AF
