Test C: The Air Conditioning (A/C) Is Inoperative/Does Not Operate Correctly

PINPOINT TEST C: THE AIR CONDITIONING (A/C) IS INOPERATIVE/DOES NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY

Normal Operation
Under normal operation, the function selector switch is supplied voltage through circuit CBP27 (GN/BN). When any mode requiring A/C is selected, the function selector switch sends voltage to the A/C high-pressure switch through circuit CH443 (GN/OG). Voltage is then supplied from the A/C high-pressure switch to the A/C cycling switch through circuit CH423 (YE). The voltage is then supplied from the A/C cycling switch to the PCM through circuit CH425 (GN/BU).

Voltage is supplied to the A/C clutch relay switch through circuit SBB25 (RD). When the relay is energized, voltage is sent to the A/C clutch through circuit CH401 (VT/WH). The A/C clutch is grounded through circuit GD121 (BK/YE).

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Fuse(s)
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- PCM
- Function selector switch
- A/C cycling switch
- A/C high-pressure switch
- A/C compressor clutch field coil
- A/C control relay
- A/C clutch air gap
