Values Unit Values  
Unit  
A/C CLUTCH ON  
Do the current condition(s) match the threshold?  
YES : Go to step 2.  
NO : Do the A/C System Test  
2. A/C system check:  
ο‚‘
1. Check the A/C system.  
Does the A/C system operate?  
YES : The A/C system circuit is OK.  
NO : Go to step 3.  
3. A/C compressor clutch circuit check:  
ο‚‘
ο‚‘
ο‚‘
1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).  
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).  
3. Activate the A/C CLUTCH in the INSPECTION MENU with the HDS.  
Is there a clicking noise from the A/C compressor clutch?  
YES : The A/C compressor clutch circuit is OK. Do the A/C System Test .  
NO : Go to step 4.  
4. Open wire check (A/C MG CLUTCH RLY CL- line):  
ο‚‘
ο‚‘
ο‚‘
1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).  
2. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.  
3. Disconnect the following connector.

Is there a clicking noise from the A/C compressor clutch?  
YES : The A/C MG CLUTCH RLY CL- wire is OK. 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 , then recheck. If the  
symptom/indication goes away and the PCM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If the  
symptom/indication goes away and the PCM was substituted, replace the original PCM See PCM  
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION or PCM UPDATE .  
NO : Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the A/C compressor clutch relay and the PCM. If  
the connections and terminals are OK, check the A/C compressor clutch relay. If needed, repair open in  
the A/C MG CLUTCH RLY CL- wire between the PCM (A12) and the A/C compressor clutch relay, or  
other parts in the A/C systems.
