A/C system signal, checking

The A/C system signal notifies the Engine
Control Module (ECM), that the A/C system
requires a higher idle speed to achieve the
desired interior temperature (regardless of
whether heating or cooling is required).
The increase in idle speed based on presence of
the A/C system signal is control module
dependent and occurs only in vehicles with All
Wheel Drive (AWD) and manual transmission.
