NOTE:

• Do not use this troubleshooting procedure if only one

fan is inoperative, or if the A/C compressor is
inoperative. Refer to the symptom troubleshooting
index.

• Before performing symptom troubleshooting, check

for powertrain DTCs (see page 11-3).

1. Check the No. 1 (30 A) and No. 4 (20 A) fuses in the

under-hood fuse/relay box, and the No. 14 (10 A)
fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box.

Go to step 2.

Replace the fuse(s), and recheck.

2. Remove the A/C condenser fan relay from the

under-hood fuse/relay box.

3. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).

4. Measure the voltage between the No. 3 terminal of

the A/C condenser fan relay 4P socket and body
ground.

Go to step 5.

Repair open in the BLK/YEL wire between the

No. 14 (10 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box
and the radiator fan relay, and the A/C condenser
fan relay.

5. Turn the ignition switch OFF.

6. Reinstall the A/C condenser fan relay.

7. Make sure the A/C switch is OFF.

8. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).

9. ’02-04 models: Using a backprobe set, measure the

voltage between the No. 6 terminal of ECM/PCM
connector B (24P) and body ground with the
ECM/PCM connectors connected.
’05-06 models: Using a backprobe set, measure the
voltage between the No. 12 terminal of ECM/PCM
connector E (31P) and body ground with the
ECM/PCM connectors connected.

Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the

latest software, or substitute a known-good ECM/
PCM, then recheck (see page 11-6). If the symptom/
indication goes away with a known-good ECM/PCM,
replace the original ECM/PCM.

Repair open in the wire between the radiator

fan relay, the A/C condenser fan relay and the
ECM/PCM.

NOTE:

• Do not use this troubleshooting procedure if the fans

are also inoperative. Refer to the symptom
troubleshooting index.

• Before performing symptom troubleshooting, check

for powertrain DTCs (see page 11-3).

1. Check the No. 1 (30 A) fuse in the under-hood

fuse/relay box, and the No. 14 (10 A) fuse in the
under-dash fuse/relay box.

Go to step 2.

Replace the fuse(s), and recheck.

2. Check the engine coolant temperature, the throttle

position sensor, and the idle speed (use the HDS
PGM-FI data list if possible).

Go to step 3.

Troubleshoot and repair the cause of the high

engine coolant temperature, low idle, or
excessively high throttle position sensor reading.

3. Remove the A/C compressor clutch relay from the

under-hood fuse/relay box, and test it (see page
22-62).

Go to step 4.

Replace the A/C compressor clutch relay.

4. Measure the voltage between the No. 2 terminal of

the A/C compressor clutch relay 4P socket and
body ground.

Go to step 5.

Replace the under-hood fuse/relay box.

5. Connect the No. 1 and No. 2 terminals of the A/C

compressor clutch relay 4P socket with a jumper
wire.

Go to step 6.

Go to step 14.

6. Disconnect the jumper wire.

7. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).

8. Measure the voltage between the No. 3 terminal of

the A/C compressor clutch relay 4P socket and
body ground.

Go to step 9.

Repair open in the BLK/YEL wire between the

No. 14 (10 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box
and the A/C compressor clutch relay.

9. Turn the ignition switch OFF.

10. Reinstall the A/C compressor clutch relay.

11. Make sure the A/C switch is OFF.

12. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).

13. Using a backprobe set, measure the voltage

between the No. 18 terminal of ECM/PCM
connector E (31P) and body ground with the
ECM/PCM connectors connected.

Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the

latest software, or substitute a known-good ECM/
PCM, then recheck (see page 11-6). If the symptom/
indication goes away with a known-good ECM/PCM,
replace the original ECM/PCM.

Repair open in the wire between the A/C

compressor clutch relay and the ECM/PCM.

14. Disconnect the jumper wire.

15. Disconnect the A/C compressor clutch 1P connector.

16. Check for continuity between the No. 1 terminal of

the A/C compressor clutch relay 4P socket and the
No. 1 terminal of the A/C compressor clutch 1P
connector.

Check the A/C compressor clutch clearance,

the thermal protector, and the A/C compressor
clutch field coil (see page 21-57).

Repair open in the wire between the A/C

compressor clutch relay and the A/C compressor
clutch.

NOTE:

• Do not use this troubleshooting procedure if the

following items are operative: A/C condenser fan,
radiator fan, A/C compressor, or if the heater is
inoperative. Refer to the symptom troubleshooting
index.

• Before performing symptom troubleshooting, check

for powertrain DTCs (see page 11-3).
