  1. Refer to Wiring Diagrams MANUAL CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM for schematic and connector information.

    Normal Operation and Fault Conditions 

    Voltage is provided to the A/C clutch SMART (FET) at all times. The A/C clutch SMART (FET) is a non serviceable part of the printed circuit board on the BCMC [also known as BJB].

    When A/C is requested and A/C line pressures and all conditions allow, the PCM provides a ground to the A/C clutch SMART (FET) control circuit, energizing the A/C clutch SMART (FET). For additional information on A/C Request, REFER to: Climate Control System - Vehicles With: Electronic Manual Temperature Control (EMTC) - System Operation and Component Description .

    DTC Fault Trigger Conditions 

    DTC Description Fault Trigger Condition
    PCM P0645:00 A/C Clutch Relay Control Circuit: No Sub Type Information Sets when the PCM grounds the SMART (FET) 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.
    BCMC P2CFC:00 A/C Clutch Control Circuit: No Sub Type Information BCMC reports the clutch control circuit is open.
    BCMC P2CFD:00 A/C Clutch Control Circuit Low: No Sub Type Information BCMC reports the clutch control circuit is shorted to ground.
    BCMC P2CFE:00 A/C Clutch Control Circuit High: No Sub Type Information BCMC reports the clutch control circuit is shorted to power.
