Normal Operation
Under normal operation, the cabin A/C system is activated when the function selector switch is in the NORMAL A/C, MAX A/C, A/C RECIRC, DEF/FLOOR or DEFROST modes. The PCM opens the passenger zone valve to allow refrigerant flow through the front evaporator, and controls the cycling of the A/C compressor clutch.

Possible Causes
- Fuse
- Circuit 57 (BK) open
- Circuit 1483 (WH/PK) open
- Circuit 321 (GY/WH) open
- A/C clutch relay
- Refrigerant leak
- A/C compressor clutch
- A/C compressor clutch coil
- A/C compressor clutch air gap too large
