- How the Circuit Works
Battery voltage is supplied through tuse 56 to the
A,/C compressor clutch r€lay contacts at all times.
With the ignition switch in ON (ll), vollage is applied
to the coil of the A,/C compressor clutch relay
through fuse 17. When you push the A,/C switch
ON, and the heater fan switch is in position | , 2, 3,
or 4, a "ground" input is provided to the engine
control module (ECM) or powertrain control module
(PCM) through the l'lC thermostat and the l'lC
pressure switch.
The A,/C compressor clutch relay is grounded by the
engine control module (ECM) or powertrain control
module (PCM). When energized, the A'lC
compressor clutch relay allows battery voltage to
turn on the A,/C comDressor clutch.
The A,/C ON indicator light comes on when the A,/C
system is requested.
A,/C Thermostat
The A'lC thermostat is located on the evaoorator
housing. The A,/C thermostat turns off the A,/C
compressor clutch if the temperature at the
evaporator goes below 3'C (37'F). This prevents
condensation from freezing on the evaporator fins
and blocking the air delivery into the passenger
compartment. The blower motor will keep running
when the sensor turns off the comDressor.
A,/C Pressure Switch
The fuC oressure switch is located in the condenser
outlet line where refrigerant is in a high
temperature/high pressure liquid state. The switch
will sense abnormally high or low pressure, and
open the circuit. This removes ground, and the
compressor will stop running.
Thermal Protectot
The thermal protector, located on the A,/C
compressor, opens and turns the compressor off if it
senses high temperature. Once the compressor
cools, the switch will close and the compressor will
begin running again.
Refer to the Service Manual (Section 22,
Air Conditioning) for specific tests or
troubleshooting procedures.

- How the Circuit Works
Radiator Fan
Voltage is provided at all times to the radiator fan
relay (contacts) through fuse 57. With the ignition
swilch in ON (ll), voltage is provided to the coil of
the relay through luse 17.
The radiator tan relay can be grounded through
either the engine coolant temperature switch or the
engine control module (ECM) or powertrain control
module (PCM).
The engine coolant temperature switch grounds
the radiator fan relay (coil) when the engine
coolant temperature exceeds 199'F (83'C). The
switch opens when coolanl temperature
decreases 3'- 8'C.
Condenser Fan
Voltage is provided at all times to the condenser fan
relay (contacts) through fuse 56. With the ignition
switch in ON (ll), voltage is provided to the coil of
the relay through fuse 17. When you push the A'lC
switch and put the heater fan switch in 1, 2,3, o( 4
position, the ly'C thermostat comes on, the
condenser fan relay energizes, and the condenser
fan motor runs.
A,/C Thermostat
The A,/C thermostat is located on the evaporator
housing. The A,/C thermostat tums off the A/C
compressor clutch if the temperature at the
evaporator goes below 3'C (37'F). This prevents
condensation from freezing on the evaporator fins
and blocking the air delivery into the passenger
compartment. lf the temperature goes below 3'C
(37"F) tuming off the Ay'C thermostat, ground will be
removed from the condenser fan relay. This will
deenergize the relay and remove voltage from the
condenser fan motor causing the fan to stop running.
Reter to the Service Manual (Section 23, Eleckical)
for specific tests or troubleshooting procedures.

Brake System Indicator Light (cont'd)
- How the Circuit Works
The brake system indicator light comes on to alert
the driver that the parking brake is applied, or that
the brake fluid level is low. lt also comes on as a
bulb test when the engine is cranked.
Parking Brake
With the ignition switch in ON (ll) or START (lll),
voltage is applied through fuse 25 to the brake
system light. When you apply the parking brake, the
switch closes and provides a ground for the light.
The light then comes on to remind you that the
parking brake is applied.
Brake Fluid Level
With the ignition switch in ON (ll) or START (lll),
voltage is applied through fuse 25 to the brake
system light. lf the brake fluid level is low, the brake
fluid level switch closes, providing ground to the
circuit. The brake system light then comes on,
alerting the d verto a low brake fluid level in the
brake master cylinder. (Check brake pad wear
before you add fluid).
Bulb Check
With the ignition switch in START (lll) and clutch
pedal depressed or A'lT gear selector in PARK (P)
or NEUTRAL (N), voltage is applied through fuse 31
to the brake bulb check circuit. The brake bulb
check circuit closes, allowing current to flow through
the brake system light and bulb check circuit to
ground. The brake system light then comes on to
test the bulb.
Refer to the Service Manual (Section 23, Electrical)
for specific tests or troubleshooting procedures.
