A/C Request Signal

The A/C request circuit signals the Engine Control Module (ECM) when you select an A/C mode at the A/C control head. The ECM uses this information in order to enable the A/C compressor clutch and in order to adjust the idle speed before turning ON the A/C clutch. If this signal is not available to the ECM, the A/C compressor will be inoperative.
