1 | Did you review the HVAC operation and perform the necessary inspections. | Go to Step 2 | |
2 |
Does the A/C compressor operate? | Go to Step 3 | Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems |
3 | With the scan tool, observe the A/C Relay commanded parameter in the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Data List in Engine Controls-3.8L. Does the scan tool indicate the A/C Relay commanded parameter is ON? | Go to Step 4 | Go to Step 7 |
4 | With the scan tool, observe the A/C Control Head (Desired) parameter in the Dash Integration Module (DIM) A/C Information List. Does the scan tool display OFF? | Go to Step 5 | Go to Step 12 |
5 | With the scan tool, observe the A/C Requested parameter in the Instrument Panel Module (IPM) HVAC System Data list. Does the scan tool display YES? | Go to Step 6 | Go to Step 13 |
6 | With a scan tool, observe the A/C Clutch (Desired) parameter in the Dash Integration Module DIM A/C Information List. Does the scan tool display OFF? | Go to Step 15 | Go to Step 14 |
7 |
Does the A/C compressor clutch disengage? | Go to Step 8 | Go to Step 9 |
8 | Test the control circuit of the A/C compressor clutch relay for a short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 22 | Go to Step 11 |
9 | Test the A/C compressor clutch voltage supply circuit for a short to voltage. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 22 | Go to Step 10 |
10 | Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the A/C compressor clutch. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 22 | Go to Step 17 |
11 | Inspect for poor connections at the A/C compressor clutch relay. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 22 | Go to Step 16 |
12 | Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the HVAC control module. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 22 | Go to Step 18 |
13 | Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the instrument panel module (IPM) Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 22 | Go to Step 19 |
14 | Inspect for poor connections at the dash integration module (DIM). Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 22 | Go to Step 20 |
15 | Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the powertrain control module (PCM). Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 22 | Go to Step 21 |
16 | Replace the A/C compressor clutch relay. Refer to Compressor Relay Replacement in Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning. Did you complete the replacement? | Go to Step 22 | -- |
17 | Replace the A/C compressor clutch hub and plate. Refer to Compressor Clutch Plate and Hub Assembly Removal and Compressor Clutch Plate/Hub Assembly Install in Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning. Did you complete the replacement? | Go to Step 22 | -- |
18 | Replace the HVAC control module. Refer to HVAC Control Module Replacement . Did you complete the replacement? | Go to Step 22 | -- |
19 | Replace the instrument panel module (IPM) Refer to Instrument Panel Module Replacement in Body Control Systems. Did you complete the replacement? | Go to Step 22 | -- |
20 | Replace the dash integration module (DIM). Refer to Dash Integration Module Replacement in Body Control Systems. Did you complete the replacement? | Go to Step 22 | -- |
21 |
Important: Perform the programming procedure for the PCM. Replace the PCM. Refer to Powertrain Control Module Replacement in Engine Controls - 3.8L. Did you complete the replacement? | Go to Step 22 | -- |
22 | Operate the system in order to verify the repair. Did you correct the condition? | System OK | Go to Step 2 |
