A/C ON (A/C Request) Switch Test
- Start engine and allow to idle. If a scan tester is available, scan A/C request parameter. Move A/C mode selector back and forth between ON and OFF positions. Scan status should change.
- If scan tester is not available or scan status does not change, measure voltage between ground and ECM A/C request terminal. For wiring schematics, see mini-schematics under A/C CLUTCH (C-10) & ELECTRIC COOLING FAN (C-12) under MISCELLANEOUS CONTROLS .
- With A/C mode selector in the ON position, battery voltage should be present. If battery voltage is not present, check for open between A/C mode select switch and ECM A/C request terminal, low A/C refrigerant level causing low pressure switch to open, bad A/C fuse or bad A/C mode select switch.
