Heating and A/C Systems Symptom Troubleshooting Index
Symptom
Diagnostic Procedure
Also Check for
The blower motor does not run at all
Probable cause: A problem in the blower motor power or ground circuit

Blown fuses No. C24 (7.5 A) in the under-dash fuse/relay box and No. D3 (30 A) in the auxiliary under-dash fuse box
Faulty blower motor relay
Faulty heater fan switch
Poor ground at G403
Poor or loose connections at the terminals
The blower motor runs, but one or more speeds are inoperative
Probable cause: A problem in the circuits between the heater fan switch and the blower resistor

Faulty blower resistor
Faulty heater fan switch
Poor or loose connections at the terminals
The blower motor runs with the heater fan switch off
Probable cause: A short in the blower motor ground circuit

Faulty heater fan switch
Poor or loose connections at the terminals
The A/C compressor clutch and the A/C condenser/radiator fans are inoperative, but the blower and heater controls work
Probable cause: A/C pressure sensor circuit malfunction

Do the A/C pressure sensor circuit:

NOTE: The A/C pressure sensor can malfunction without setting a DTC
Poor or loose connections at the terminals
The A/C compressor clutch does not engage, but the A/C condenser/radiator fans operate, and the blower and heater controls work
Probable cause: No power to the A/C compressor clutch

Blown fuse No. B14 (7.5 A) in the under-hood fuse/relay box
Poor or loose connections at the terminals
The A/C condenser fan and/or the radiator fan do not run with the A/C on
Probable cause: A/C condenser/radiator fan low speed circuit malfunction

Blown fuse No. B12 (30 A) in the under-hood fuse/relay box
Poor ground at G301
Poor or loose connections at the terminals
The A/C condenser/radiator fans do not run at high speed, but do run at low speed
Probable cause: Malfunction in the fan high speed circuit(s)

Do the following troubleshooting as needed:
Blown fuses No. B23 (30 A) and No. B31 (7.5 A) in the under-hood fuse/relay box
Faulty PGM-FI main relay 1
Faulty electronic throttle control system (ETCS) control relay
Poor ground at G301
Poor or loose connections at the terminals
The A/C compressor clutch cycles rapidly on and off
Probable cause: A/C system is very low on refrigerant, indicating a possible leak
Check low idle first, then check data list A/C pressure sensor
Do the refrigerant leak check and repair any leaks. Replace the dryer desiccant, then recharge the system to specifications
If there is no leak and the refrigerant level is normal, do the A/C compressor clutch circuit troubleshooting, and look for an intermittent problem
The A/C compressor clutch does not disengage when the A/C switch is off
Probable cause: The A/C compressor clutch circuit is on (energized) continuously, shorted to ground, stuck A/C compressor clutch relay, or the A/C compressor clutch is mechanically jammed
If the A/C compressor clutch circuit is OK, then do the A/C compressor clutch check, and repair any problems with the A/C compressor clutch
The A/C compressor relief valve. If it has vented refrigerant to the atmosphere, correct the problem with the A/C compressor clutch or clutch circuit, then replace the relief valve
Poor or loose connections at the terminals
The A/C compressor relief valve has vented refrigerant

NOTE: This indicates the A/C system pressure was very high
Probable cause: A high-side restriction, the A/C condenser/radiator fans are inoperative, or the A/C compressor clutch is not disengaging
If the A/C condenser/radiator fans are inoperative, do the radiator and A/C condenser fan low speed circuit troubleshooting
If the A/C compressor clutch will not disengage, troubleshoot the A/C compressor clutch:

?

If the fans and A/C compressor clutch operate normally, recover refrigerant, and check for restrictions
Poor or loose connections at the terminals
