DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING (Continued)

A/C disable strategy chart

The following chart lists the conditions under which the A/C System is disabled to prevent compressor

operation, either temporarily or permanently. The A/C System may be disabled temporarily to pretect the

compressor until conditions are suitable for operation, on permanently until a fault is rectified.

DTC Code

A/C is Disabled under the following conditions

N/A - (temporary A/C

A/C is disabled when the A/C pressure transducer (ACPT) exceeds the

disengagement only)

maximum allowed pressure, and is re-engaged when the ACPT output drops

back down to an acceptable pressure (eg. may occur in extremely high ambient,

high vehicle speed conditions)

N/A - (temporary A/C

A/C is disabled when the A/C pressure transducer (ACPT) drops below the

disengagement only)

minimum allowed pressure, and is re-engaged when the ACPT output rises up

to an acceptable pressure (eg. may occur in extremely low ambient

temperatures)

P0532,P0533

A/C is disabled when the ACPT output is out of range (circuit or calibration fault)

P1463

A/C is disabled when the ACPT pressure rise after A/C clutch engagement is

less than the minimum allowed and is re-engaged when the engine speed drops

back down to a lower rpm. ( This may indicate clutch slip, low A/C charge or

faulty compressor)

P0534

A/C is disabled when the A/C performance is not acceptable for given ambient

temperature and vehicle operating conditions

P0534

A/C is disabled when the A/C gas charge level is too low during A/C operation

P0534

A/C is disabled when the A/C gas charge level drops during A/C operation

N/A - (temporary A/C

A/C is disabled when the engine speed is greater than the maximum allowed for

disengagement only)

a given vehicle speed, and continues to be disabled when the engine speed is

greater than the maximum allowed for A/C re-engagement

P1270

A/C is disabled when the engine speed is more than the maximum allowed for

A/C operation (close to red-line rpm), and continues to be disabled when the

engine speed is greater than the maximum allowed for A/C re-engagement

N/A - (temporary A/C

A/C is disabled when the engine speed is less than the minimum allowed for

disengagement only)

A/C operation (below idle rpm)

U1900

A/C is disabled when the HIM CAN link is missing

N/A - (temporary A/C

A/C is disabled at the first A/C engagement after a new or reflashed PCM, if the

disengagement only)

A/C is engaged at too high an engine speed

P1299

A/C is disabled just before the engine cylinder head temperature exceeds a

maximum allowable temperature and the cylinder head protection is activated
