CHECK the A/C system for leaks.

REFER to: Electronic Leak Detection (412-00 Climate Control System - General Information, General Procedures).

REFER to: Fluorescent Dye Leak Detection (412-00 Climate Control System - General Information, General Procedures).

After the leak is repaired, RECHARGE the A/C system. REFER to: Air Conditioning (A/C) System Recovery, Evacuation and Charging (412-00 Climate Control System - General Information, General Procedures).

G2 CHECK THE COMMUNICATION NETWORK

Ignition ON. Using a diagnostic scan tool, carry out the network test.

Do the FCIM and the PCM pass the network test?

Yes

GO to G3

No

DIAGNOSE the FCIM or PCM does not communicate with the diagnostic scan tool. REFER to: Communications Network (418-00 Module Communications Network, Diagnosis and Testing).

G3 CHECK THE PCM (POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE) A/C (AIR CONDITIONING) PRESSURE SENSOR (ACP_PRESS) PID (PARAMETER IDENTIFICATION)

Ignition ON. Using a diagnostic scan tool, view PCM Parameter Identifications (PIDs). With a manifold gauge set connected, compare the pressure readings of the manifold gauge set and the PCM ACP_PRESS PID.

Are the pressure values of the manifold gauge set and the ACP_PRESS PCM PID within ± 103 kPa (15 psi)?

Yes

GO to G4

No

DIAGNOSE the A/C pressure transducer. GO to Pinpoint Test A

G4 ELECTRIC COOLING FAN FUNCTIONAL CHECK

Ignition ON. Using a diagnostic scan tool, carry out the PCM KOEO self-test.

Does the electric cooling fan operate during the KOEO self-test?

Yes

GO to G5

No

DIAGNOSE the electric cooling fan operation. REFER to Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) manual, Section 3 Symptom Charts.
