Verify symptom no longer exists.
2 CHECK FOR VOLTAGE TO A/C CLUTCH
NOTE:
  • If the A/C clutch will engage, follow the "Yes" Action of this test step. If not, or unsure, continue with this test step.
  • Key OFF.
  • Disconnect A/C cycling switch connector 0740-201.
  • Install jumper wire in the A/C cycling switch connector to complete the circuit.
  • Disconnect A/C clutch field coil connector 0740-203.
  • Connect multimeter between power pin and ground pin at A/C clutch field coil connector.
  • Start engine.
  • Turn A/C on, wait 15 seconds.
  • Check voltage reading.
  • After testing, turn key off and reconnect A/C clutch field coil connector 0740-203.
