YES -Go to step 11. 

NO -Repair open in the wire between the A/C condenser fan relay socket in the under-hood fuse/relay 
box and the A/C condenser fan. 

11. Check for continuity between the No. 1 terminal of the A/C condenser fan 2P connector and body ground.

Is there continuity?  

YES -Replace the A/C condenser fan motor. 

NO -Check for an open in the wire between the A/C condenser fan and body ground. If the wire is OK, 
check for poor ground at G201. 

RADIATOR AND A/C CONDENSER FAN COMMON CIRCUIT 
TROUBLESHOOTING 

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. 

Are the fuses OK?  

YES -Go to step 2. 

NO -Replace the fuse(s), and recheck. 

2. Remove the A/C condenser fan relay from the under-hood fuse/relay box. 

NOTE:

Do not use this troubleshooting procedure if only one fan is inoperative, or the 
A/C compressor is inoperative. Refer to the SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING 
INDEX.

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.

Is there battery voltage?  

YES -Go to step 5. 

NO -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 socket, and the A/C condenser fan relay socket. 

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. Using the 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.

Is there battery voltage?  

YES -Check for loose wires or poor connections at ECM/PCM connector E (31P). If the connections are 
good, substitute a known-good ECM/PCM, and recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away, replace 
the original ECM/PCM (see ECM/PCM REPLACEMENT ). 

NO -Repair open in the wire between the radiator fan relay socket, the A/C condenser fan relay socket 
and the ECM/PCM. 

A/C COMPRESSOR CLUTCH CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING 

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. 

Are the fuses OK?  

YES -Go to step 2. 

NO -Replace the f use(s), and recheck. 

2. Connect the HDS to the DLC.  

3. Start the engine.  

4. Turn on the A/C on the heater control panel.  

5. Using the HDS, confirm the following values in the PGM-FI Data List at idle. 

DATA LIST 

Are all the values within specifications?  

YES -Go to step 6. 

NO -Troubleshoot the value that is not within the specifications. 

6. Remove the A/C compressor clutch relay from the under-hood fuse/relay box, and test it (see POWER 

RELAY TEST ). 

Is the relay OK?  

YES -Go to step 7.
