Is there continuity?  
YES : The A/C MG CLUTCH wire is OK. Check the A/C COMPRESSOR CLUTCH CLEARANCE  
and the A/C COMPRESSOR CLUTCH FIELD COIL . Repair as needed.  
NO : Repair an 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 the A/C compressor is  
inoperative. Refer to the symptom troubleshooting index.  


If A/C refrigerant pressure is abnormal, the radiator and A/C condenser  
fans are controlled based only on engine coolant temperature.  
Before doing symptom troubleshooting, check for PGM-FI DTCs See HOW  
TO TROUBLESHOOT THE A/T SYSTEM or HOW TO TROUBLESHOOT THE  
FUEL AND EMISSIONS SYSTEMS .  
1. Fuse check:  
ο‚‘
1. Check the following fuses.  
Fuse No. A2-10 (20 A)  
Location Under-hood fuse/relay box  
Fuse No. A8 (7.5 A)  
Location Under-hood fuse/relay box  
Are the fuses OK?  
YES : Go to step 2.  
NO : Replace the fuse(s), and recheck. If the fuse(s) blow again, check for a short in the No. A2-10 (20  
A) fuse and/or the No. A8 (7.5 A) fuse circuit(s).  
2. A/C condenser fan relay check:  
ο‚‘
1. Remove the A/C condenser fan relay from the under-hood fuse/relay box, and TEST IT .  
Is the relay OK?  
YES : Go to step 3.  
NO : Replace the A/C condenser fan relay.  
3. Open wire check (+B SUB FAN line):  
ο‚‘
1. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.  
Test condition IG LOCK (0)  
A/C condenser fan relay: disconnected  
Test circuit +B SUB FAN  
Test point 1 A/C condenser fan relay 4P socket No. 1  
Test point 2 Body ground

Is there battery voltage?  
YES : The +B SUB FAN wire is OK. Go to step 4.  
NO : An open in the +B SUB FAN wire. REPLACE THE UNDER-HOOD FUSE/RELAY BOX .  
4. SUB FAN MOTOR line check:  
ο‚‘
1. Connect terminals A and B with a jumper wire.  
Terminal A A/C condenser fan relay 4P socket No. 1  
Terminal B A/C condenser fan relay 4P socket No. 2 (YEL)

Does the A/C condenser fan run on high?  
YES : The SUB FAN MOTOR wire is OK. Go to step 5.  
NO : Repair an open in the wire between the A/C condenser fan relay and the A/C condenser fan motor.  
5. A/C condenser fan relay coil side power circuit check:  
ο‚‘
1. Disconnect the jumper wire.  
ο‚‘
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).  
ο‚‘
3. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.  
Test condition IG ON (II)  
A/C condenser fan relay: disconnected  
Test circuit SUB FAN DIODE-  
Test point 1 A/C condenser fan relay 4P socket No. 3 (WHT)  
Test point 2 Body ground

Is there battery voltage?  
YES : The No. A8 (7.5 A) fuse circuit wire is OK. Go to step 6.  
NO : Go to step 7.  
6. Open wire check (FAN HI SIGNAL line):  
1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).  
2. Reinstall the A/C condenser fan relay.  
3. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.  
NOTE:  
This step must be done to protect the PCM from damage.  
4. Disconnect the following connector.  
PCM connector A (49P)  
5. Connect terminals A and B with a jumper wires.  
Terminal A PCM connector A (49P) No. 16 (GRY)  
Terminal B Body ground  
Terminal A PCM connector A (49P) No. 20 (WHT)  
Terminal B Body ground

6. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).  
Does the A/C condenser fan run on high?  
YES : Update the PCM See PCM REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION or PCM UPDATE if it does  
not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good PCM See PCM REMOVAL AND  
INSTALLATION or PCM UPDATE , and recheck.  
NO : Repair an open in the wire between the A/C condenser fan relay and the PCM.  
7. A/C diode A check:  
ο‚‘
1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).  
ο‚‘
2. Using the diode setting ( ) on a DVOM, check for current flow in both directions between A/C  
diode A terminals No. 1 and No. 2.

Is there current flow in only one direction?  
YES : An open in the No. A8 (7.5 A) fuse circuit wire. REPLACE THE UNDER-HOOD  
FUSE/RELAY BOX .  
NO : Replace A/C diode A.
