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).
Possible Causes
- Fuse(s)
- An open in circuits GD121 (BK/YE), CH401 (VT/WH), CH425 (GN/BU), CH443 (GN/OG), CH423 (YE), SBB25 (RD) or CBP27 (GN/BN)
- 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
