- 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.
