Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 GMC Sierra and 2007 Chevrolet Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the A/C relay.
- Ignition ON, verify a test lamp illuminates between the relay coil B+ circuit terminal and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
- Connect a test lamp between the relay coil B+ circuit terminal and the A/C compressor clutch relay control circuit terminal.
- Engine running, command the A/C relay ON and OFF. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
- If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM/PCM.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM/PCM.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the A/C relay.
