P0645

Diagnostic Chart:




Schematic:




The ECM acts as a path to ground for the low pin of the relay to engage the A/C clutch. The ECM internal output driver is normally open, and will switch to ground when A/C is requested. This circuit is monitored continuously. If the ECM detects an open circuit, this code will set.

DTC PARAMETERS
This DTC will set when:
^ Engine Speed greater than 40 rpm
^ Battery Voltage is between 7.5 and 15 volts

DTC P0645 is a (type D) DTC.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
To locate an intermittent problem, use the Scan tool to monitor A/C Relay command with ignition On, engine Off.

While A/C Relay command state is On, wiggling wires may engage the A/C clutch to help locate an open circuit.

If DTC P0645 is active while the A/C clutch works properly, the A/C clutch relay feedback circuit in the ECM is open.
