Preliminary Checks

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Dodge Charger and 2010 Chrysler 300. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. If the A/C compressor clutch will not engage, perform the A/C System Performance Test, which is found within the HVAC System Test. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/HVAC - Standard Procedure . If no diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) are found in the A/C-heater control, PCM/ECM or the TIPM, go to  2. If any DTCs are found, repair as required.
  2. If the A/C compressor clutch still will not engage, verify the refrigerant charge level. See Heating and Air Conditioning - Diagnosis and Testing . If the refrigerant charge level is OK, go to COIL RESISTANCE TEST  and/or COIL CURRENT DRAW TEST . If the refrigerant charge level is not OK, adjust the refrigerant charge as required.
