A/C Compressor Clutch Circuit Troubleshooting
A/C COMPRESSOR CLUTCH RELAY 4P SOCKET
NOTE:
It is normal for the A/C compressor to turn off under certain conditions, such as low idle, high engine
coolant temperature, or hard acceleration.
Do not use this troubleshooting procedure if the fans are also inoperative with the A/C on. Refer to the
symptom troubleshooting index.
Before doing any symptom troubleshooting, check for powertrain DTCs (see page 11-3).
1. Check the No. 20 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box, and the No. 36 (10 A) fuse in the
under-dash fuse/relay box.
Go to step 2.
Replace the fuses and recheck. If the fuses
blow again, check for a short in the No. 20 (7.5 A)
and No. 36 (10 A) fuses circuit.
2. Connect the HDS to the DLC.
3. Start the engine.
4. Turn on the A/C.
5. Using the HDS, confirm the following values in the PGM-FI Data List at idle.
ECT Sensor 2 80 100 °C (176 212 °F)
TP Sensor About 0.5 V at idle
RPM More than 670
A/C Switch ON
A/C Clutch ON
A/C Pressure
Sensor 196 455 kPa (28 455 psi)
Go to step 6.
Troubleshoot the value that is not within the
specifications. 6. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
7. Remove the A/C compressor clutch relay from the
under-hood fuse/relay box, and test it (see page
22-70).
Go to step 8.
Replace the A/C compressor clutch relay.
8. Measure the voltage between the A/C compressor clutch relay 4P socket terminal No. 1 and body
ground.
Go to step 9.
Replace the under-hood fuse/relay box
(see page 22-65).
Ar e t he f uses OK ?
Are all the values within specif ications? Is the relay OK ?
Is there battery voltage?

9. Connect the A/C compressor clutch relay 4P socket
terminals No. 1 and No. 2 with a jumper wire.
Go to step 10.
Go to step 19.
10. Disconnect the jumper wire.
11. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
12. Measure the voltage between the A/C compressor clutch relay 4P socket terminal No. 3 and body
ground.
Go to step 13.
Repair open in the wire between the No. 36
(10 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box and the
A/C compressor clutch relay. 13. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
14. Reinstall the A/C compressor clutch relay.
15. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
NOTE: This step must be done to protect the engine
control module (ECM)/powertrain control module
(PCM) from damage.
16. Disconnect ECM/PCM connector A (44P).
17. Connect the ECM/PCM connector A (44P) terminal No. 14 to body ground with a jumper wire.
18. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II). Check for loose wires or poor connections at
ECM/PCM connector A (44P). If the connections are
good, check the ECM/PCM grounds. If the grounds
are good, substitute a known-good ECM/PCM, and
recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away,
replace the original ECM/PCM (see page 11-228).
Repair open in the wire between the A/C
compressor clutch relay and the ECM/PCM.

Tips and Precautions
Before Troubleshooting
Handling Connectors
22-3
General Troubleshooting Information
A A A
A
1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box.
2. Check the battery for damage, state of charge, and clean and tight connections.
Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery ground cable has been
disconnected, otherwise you will damage
the alternator diodes.
Do not attempt to crank the engine with the battery ground cable loosely
connected or you will s everely damage the
wiring.
Make sure the connectors are clean and have no loose wire terminals.
Make sure multiple cavity connectors are packed with dielectric grease (except watertight connectors).
All connectors have push-down release type locks (A). Some connectors have a clip on their side used to
attach them to a mount bracket on the body or on
another component. This clip has a pull type lock.
Some mounted connectors cannot be disconnected unless you first release the lock and remove the
connector from its mount bracket (A).
Never try to disconnect connectors by pulling on their wires; pull on the connector halves instead.
Always reinstall plastic covers.
Before connecting connectors, make sure the terminals (A) are in place and not bent.

Testing and Repairs
Five-step Troubleshooting
22-5
Do not use wires or harnesses with broken insulation.
Replace them or repair them by wrapping the break
with electrical tape.
Never attempt to modify, splice, or repair SRS wiring. If there is an open or damage is SRS wiring or
terminals, replace the harness.
After installing parts, make sure that no wires are pinched under them.
When using electrical test equipment, follow the manufacturer’s instructions and those described in
this manual.
If possible, insert the probe of the tester from the wire side (except waterproof connector).
Use back probe adaptor 07TAZ-001020A.
Refer to the instructions in the Honda Terminal Kit for identification and replacement of connector terminals. 1. Verify The Complaint:
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit
to verify the client complaint. Note the symptoms.
Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have
narrowed down the problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic: Look up the schematic for the problem circuit.
Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power feed
through the circuit components to ground. If
several circuits fail at the same time, the fuse or a
ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of
the circuit operation, identify one or more possible
causes of the problem.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit: Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made
in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting.
Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem: Once the specific problem is identified, make the
repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works: Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all
modes to make sure you’ve fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure
to test all of the circuits on the fuse. Make sure no
new problems turn up and the original problem
does not recur.
