Possible Causes: 
  • A/C system mechanical failure
  • Open ACP or VREF circuit
  • A/C sensor damaged
  • A/C system electrical failure
  • A/C clutch always engaged
Diagnostic Aids:  Verify the A/C system function, including refrigerant charge. Refer to the CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM - GENERAL INFORMATION & DIAGNOSTICS , Refrigerant System Tests to verify pressure changes.
