- Turn the ignition off.
- Disconnect the TIPM C1 harness connector.NOTE:
Check connectors - Clean/repair as necessary.
- Turn the ignition on, engine not running.
- Using a Voltmeter, measure the voltage on the (C13) A/C Compressor Clutch Control circuit at the TIPM C1 harness connector.
Is there any voltage present?
Yes
- Repair the (C13) A/C Compressor Clutch Control circuit for a short to voltage.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L .
No
- Go To 2.
- CHECK THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE
- Using a 12-Volt test light connected battery positive, probe the (C13) A/C Compressor Clutch Control circuit at the TIPM C1 harness connector while actuating the A/C Compressor Clutch with the scan tool.NOTE:
