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?

21. Check for continuity between the A/C compressor
clutch relay 4P socket terminal No. 2 and the A/C
compressor clutch 3P connector terminal No. 2.
Check the A/C compressor clutch clearance,
and the compressor clutch field coil (see page
21-85). Repair as needed.
Repair open in the wire between the A/C
compressor clutch relay and the A/C compressor
clutch. NOTE:
Do not use this troubleshooting procedure if any of the following items are operative: A/C condenser fan,
radiator fan, A/C compressor. Refer to the symptom
troubleshooting index.
Before doing symptom troubleshooting, check for powertrain DTCs (see page 11-3).
1. Connect the HDS to the DLC.
2. Start the engine.
3. Turn on the A/C.
4. Check the A/C SWITCH in the PGM-FI Data List with the HDS.
The A/C signal is OK at this time.
Go to step 5.
5. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), and disconnect the climate control unit 32P connector.
6. Measure the evaporator temperature sensor resistance between the climate control unit 32P
connector terminals No. 8 and No. 19.
Go to step 7.
Test the evaporator temperature sensor
(see page 21-70).
