DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES - CHECKING THE A/C RELAY OUTPUT

TEST ACTION APPLICABILITY
1
NOTE: Ensure that the refrigerant system is properly charged. Refer to the appropriate Service Information.
Turn the ignition on.With the DRBIII®, actuate the A/C Clutch Relay.Is the A/C Clutch actuating?Yes --> The A/C Clutch System operating properly at this time.Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 2 - NGC .No --> Go To 2
All
2 Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the A/C Clutch harness connector.
Measure the Ground circuit in the A/C Clutch harness connector to ground.
Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?
Yes --> Go To 3
No --> Repair the Ground circuit for an open.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 2 - NGC .
All
3 Disconnect the A/C Clutch harness connector.
Turn the ignition on.
With the DRBIII®, actuate the A/C Clutch Relay.
Measure the voltage of the A/C Clutch Relay Output circuit in the A/C Clutch harness connector.
Is the voltage above 11.0 volts?
Yes --> Replace the A/C Clutch.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 2 - NGC .
No --> Go To 4
All
4 Turn the ignition off.
Remove the A/C Clutch Relay from the PDC.
Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, probe the (A17) Fused B+ circuit in the PDC.
Does the test light illuminate brightly?
Yes --> Go To 5
No --> Repair the (A17) Fused B+ circuit. Inspect fuses and replace as necessary.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 2 - NGC .
All
5 Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the A/C Clutch Relay from the PDC.
Disconnect the A/C Clutch harness connector.
Measure the resistance of the (C3) A/C Clutch Relay Output circuit between the PDC and the A/C Clutch harness connector.
Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?
Yes --> Replace the A/C Clutch Relay.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 2 - NGC .
No --> Repair the (C3) A/C Clutch Relay Output circuit for an open.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 2 - NGC .
