Pinpoint Test B : P0645, P0646, P0647: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Ford F-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Refer to Automatic Climate Control System for schematic and connector information.
Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
Voltage is provided to the A/C clutch relay with the key on. When A/C is requested and A/C line pressures allow, a ground is provided to the A/C clutch relay coil from the PCM, energizing the A/C clutch relay. The A/C clutch relay is a non serviceable part of the printed circuit board on the BJB.
DTC Fault Trigger Conditions
| DTC | Description | Fault Trigger Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| P0645 | A/C Clutch Relay Control Circuit | Sets when the PCM grounds the relay circuit and more current than expected is detected on the relay circuit. The DTC also sets when the relay circuit is off and voltage is detected on the relay circuit. |
| P0646 | A/C Clutch Relay Control Circuit Low | Sets when the relay circuit is off and ground is detected on the relay circuit. The PCM expects to detect voltage coming through the relay coil to the relay circuit when it is not grounding it. |
| P0647 | A/C Clutch Relay Control Circuit High | Sets when the PCM grounds the relay circuit and excessive current draw (short to voltage) is detected on the relay circuit. |
Possible Sources
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- A/C clutch relay [non-serviceable, part of BJB]
- PCM
Visual Inspection and Diagnostic Pre-checks
- Inspect BJB fuses 32 (10A) and 36 (10A).
