Normal Operation
Under normal operation, when A/C is requested, a message is sent over the UBP bus to the instrument cluster, then from the instrument cluster through the CAN bus to the PCM (EATC systems) or sends voltage to the instrument cluster through circuit 348 (VT) then a message from the instrument cluster through the CAN bus to the PCM (EMTC systems). Voltage is provided to the A/C cycling switch through circuit 295 (LB/PK). The PCM receives input from the A/C cycling switch through circuit 347 (BK/YE).

The PCM provides a ground for the A/C clutch relay coil through circuit 331 (PK/YE). The A/C clutch relay coil receives ignition voltage through circuit 391 (RD/YE). Ignition voltage for the A/C clutch relay switch is provided through circuit 883 (PK/LB). When the relay is activated, ignition voltage is supplied to the A/C clutch solenoid through circuit 321 (GY/WH). Ground is supplied for the A/C clutch through circuit 57 (BK).

Possible Causes
- Fuse(s)
- An open in circuit, 348 (VT), 883 (PK/LB), 295 (LB/PK), 347 (BK/YE), 57 (BK), 391 (RD/YE), 321 (GY/WH) or 331 (PK/YE)
- PCM
- (EATC systems) EATC module
- (EMTC systems) EMTC module
- A/C cycling switch
- A/C compressor clutch field coil
- A/C control relay
- A/C clutch air gap
