1. A/C Compressor Malfunction
|
Circuit/System Description
When the A/C switch is pressed, the HVAC control module sends an A/C request message to the engine control module (ECM) via CAN-Bus. Therefore, the ECM grounds the A/C compressor clutch relay control circuit, which will switch the A/C compressor clutch relay. With the relay contacts closed, battery voltage is supplied to the A/C compressor clutch. The A/C compressor clutch will be activated.
Conditions for Running the DTC
• | The HVAC control module is ON. |
• | The A/C switch is active. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
P0645 or P0646
The ECM detects a short to ground or an open at the A/C compressor clutch relay control circuit.
P0647
The ECM detects a short to voltage at the A/C compressor clutch relay control circuit.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
P0645 or P0646
The A/C compressor is inoperative or always active.
P0647
The A/C compressor is inoperative.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
The condition for setting the DTC is no longer present.

Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, remove the KR29 A/C Compressor Clutch Relay.
- Ignition ON, test for greater than 11 V between the ignition circuit terminal 86 at the KR29 A/C Compressor Clutch Relay and ground.
| Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit. |
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module.
- Ignition ON, test for less than 0.3 V between the control circuit terminal 85 at the KR29 A/C Compressor Clutch Relay and ground.
| Repair the short to voltage on the circuit. |
- Ignition OFF, test for infinite resistance between the control circuit terminal 85 at the KR29 A/C Compressor Clutch Relay and ground.
⇒ | If less than infinite resistance |
| Repair the short to ground on the circuit. |
- Test for less than 5 Ω between the KR29 A/C Compressor Clutch Relay control circuit terminal 85 and the appropriate control circuit terminal at the K20 Engine Control Module harness connector listed below:
• | Terminal 91 X2 with 2H0 |
• | Terminal 31 X1 with LAF |
• | Terminal 30 X1 with LBN |
• | Terminal 41 X2 with LNP |
| Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit. |
- Replace the KR29 A/C Compressor Clutch Relay and verify the DTC does not reset.
| Replace the K20 Engine Control Module. |
- All OK.
Component Testing
Static Test
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the KR29 A/C Compressor Clutch Relay.
- Test for 60-180 Ω between the B+ terminal 85 and the control terminal 86 of the KR29 A/C Compressor Clutch Relay.
| Replace the KR29 A/C Compressor Clutch Relay. |
- Test for the resistance between the following terminals:
⇒ | If less than infinite resistance |
| Replace the KR29 A/C Compressor Clutch Relay. |
- All OK.
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
