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.

2. Connect battery power to terminal No. 7 of the air mix control motor, and ground terminal No. 6;  
the air mix control motor should run smoothly, and stop at MAX HOT. If it does not, reverse the  
connections; the air mix control motor should run smoothly, and stop at MAX COOL. When the air  
mix control motor stops running, disconnect battery power immediately.  
3. If the air mix control motor did not run in step 2, remove it, then check the air mix control linkage  
and door for smooth movement.  

If the linkage and door move smoothly, go to step 4.  

If the linkage or door sticks or binds, repair them as needed.  
4. Measure the resistance between terminals No. 1 and No. 3. It should be between 4.2 kohms and 7.8  
kohms.  
5. Reconnect the air mix control motor connector.  
6. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).  
7. Using the backprobe set, measure the voltage between terminals No. 1 and No. 2.  
MAX COOL: About 0.5 V  
MAX HOT: About 4.0 V  
8. If either the resistance or the voltage readings are not as specified, replace the air mix control  
motor.
