Normal Operation: Notes
Under normal operation, voltage is supplied to the A/C low charge protection switch through circuit CBK03 (GY). When the A/C low charge protection switch is closed (ON, pressure normal), voltage is sent to the dual-function pressure switch through circuit CH422 (VT). When the dual-function pressure switch is closed (ON, pressure normal), voltage is provided to the PCM. Ignition voltage is provided to the A/C clutch relay switch through circuit SBB13 (GY/RD). When A/C is requested, a message is sent over the Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN) bus to the PCM. When the PCM energizes the relay, ignition voltage is supplied to the A/C clutch through circuit CH401 (VT/WH). Ground is supplied for the A/C clutch through circuit GD123 (BK/GY).
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- PCM
- HVAC module
- A/C low charge protection switch
