TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
- Malfunction of the A/C compressor clutch relay
- Damaged harness wires or connectors
DIAGNOSIS
Required Special Tools:
- MB991223: Test Harness Set
STEP 1. Check A/C compressor clutch relay connector B-13X for damage.
Q: Is A/C compressor clutch relay connector B-13X in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 2.
NO : Repair or replace the connector. Refer to Harness Connector Inspection. Check that the air conditioning works normally.
STEP 2. Check the A/C compressor clutch relay continuity.
Follow the table to check the A/C compressor clutch relay for continuity.
Q: Is the A/C compressor clutch relay in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 3.
NO : Replace the A/C compressor clutch relay. Check that the air conditioning works normally.
STEP 3. Measure the voltage at A/C compressor clutch relay connector B-13X.
1. Disconnect A/C compressor connector B-13X and measure the voltage at the relay box side.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
3. Measure the voltage between terminal 2 and ground.
- The measured value should be approximately 12 volts (battery positive voltage).
Q: Does the measured voltage correspond with this range?
YES : Go to Step 5.
NO : Go to Step 4.
STEP 4. Check the wiring harness between A/C compressor clutch relay connector B-13X (terminal 2) and the ignition switch (IG2).
NOTE: Also check intermediate connector C-116, joint connector (2) C-01, junction block connectors C-211 and C-212. If intermediate connector C-116, joint connector (2) C-01, or junction block connectors C-211 or C-212 is damaged, repair or replace the connector as described in Harness Connector Inspection.
Q: Is the wiring harness between A/C compressor clutch relay connector B-13X (terminal 2) and the ignition switch (IG2) in good condition?
YES : Check that the air conditioning works normally.
NO : Repair the wiring harness. Check that the air conditioning works normally.
STEP 5. Measure the voltage at A/C compressor clutch relay connector B-13X.
1. Disconnect A/C compressor connector B-13X and measure the voltage at the relay box side.
2. Measure the voltage between terminal 1 and ground.
- The measured value should be approximately 12 volts (battery positive voltage).
Q: Does the measured voltage correspond with this range?
YES : Go to Step 7.
NO : Go to Step 6.
STEP 6. Check the wiring harness between A/C compressor clutch relay connector B-13X (terminal 1) and the battery.
NOTE: Also check intermediate connector A-13. If intermediate connectors A-13 is damaged, repair or replace the connector as described in Harness Connector Inspection.
Q: Is the wiring harness between A/C compressor clutch relay connector B-13X (terminal 1) and the battery in good condition?
YES : Check that the air conditioning works normally.
NO : Repair the wiring harness. Check that the air conditioning works normally.
STEP 7. Check A/C compressor connector B-117 for damage.
Q: Is and A/C compressor connector B-117 in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 8.
NO : Repair or replace the connector. Refer to Harness Connector Inspection. Check that the air conditioning works normally.
STEP 8. Check the wiring harness between A/C compressor clutch relay connector B-13X (terminal 4) and A/C compressor connector B-117 (terminal 1).
Q: Is the wiring harness between A/C compressor clutch relay connector B-13X (terminal 4) and A/C compressor connector B-117 (terminal 1) in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 9.
NO : Repair the wiring harness. Check that the air conditioning works normally.
STEP 9. Check powertrain control module connector C-114 for damage.
Q: Is powertrain control module connector C-114 in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 10.
NO : Repair or replace the connector. Refer to Harness Connector Inspection. Check that the air conditioning works normally.
STEP 10. Check the wiring harness between powertrain control module connector C-114 (terminal 16) and A/C compressor clutch relay connector B-13X (terminal 3).
Q: Is the wiring harness between powertrain control module connector C-114 (terminal 16) and A/C compressor clutch relay connector B-13X (terminal 3) in good condition?
YES : Check that the air conditioning works normally.
NO : Repair the wiring harness. Check that the air conditioning works normally.
