Honda Accord: A/C Signal Circuit Troubleshooting
1. Start the engine, and let it idle.
2. Turn the blower switch on.
3. Turn the A/C switch on.
4. Check the A/C CLUTCH in the DATA LIST with the HDS.
Does it indicate ON? YES
-Go to step 5.
NO
-Do the A/C system test (see page 21-89).
5. Check the A/C system.
Does the A/C system operate? YES-
The air conditioning system circuit is OK.
NO
-Go to step 6.
6. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
7. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
8. Activate the A/C CLUTCH in the INSPECTION MENU with the HDS.
Is there a clicking noise from the A/C compressor clutch? YES
-Do the A/C system test (see page 21-89).
NO-
Go to step 9.
9. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
10. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
11. Disconnect ECM/PCM connector A (49P).
12. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
13. Momentarily connect ECM/PCM connector terminal A15 to body ground with a jumper wire several times.
ECM/PCM CONNECTOR A (49P)
Terminal side of female terminals
Is there a clicking noise from the A/C compressor clutch? YES
-Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest software (see page 11-203), or substitute a known-good ECM/PCM (see page 11-7), then recheck.
If the symptom/indication goes away and the ECM/PCM was updated, troubleshooting is complete.
If the symptom/indication goes away and the ECM/PCM was substituted, replace the original ECM/PCM (see page 11-204).
NO
-Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the A/C compressor clutch relay and the ECM/PCM. If the connections are OK, check the A/C compressor clutch relay (see page 22-93). If needed, repair open in the wire between the ECM/PCM (A15), the A/C compressor clutch relay, or other parts in the A/C systems.
