Troubleshooting
Symptom Chart
NOTE:
. Any abnormality must be corrected before continuing the test.. Because of the precise measurements needed. use a multimeter when testinq.. Before performing any troubleshooting procedures check:- Fuses No. 47 l7 -5 Al, No. 56 (20 A) in the under-hood fuse/relay box, and No. 17 (7.5 A) in the under_dash fuse/relavbox- Grounds No. c401, c402, G751- Cleanliness and tightness of alt connectors
SymptomRemedy
Condenser fan does not run at all.Perform the procedures in the flowchart {see page 22-9).
Compressor clutch does not engage.Perform the procedures in the flowchart lsee page 22-12).
Ay'C system does not come on (compressor and fan),Perform the procedures in the flowchan (see page 22-17).
Both heater and A,/C do not work.. '96 - 98 models-Perform the procedures in the flowchart
{see page 21-18).. '99 - 00 models-Perform the procedures in the flowchart(see page 21-35).
