Signal Missing. Permanent Fault






Signal missing. Permanent fault

Checking connector








- Ignition off
- Check air conditioning (A/C) relay connector for contact resistance and oxidation according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault.
- Reinstall components, reconnect connectors etc.
- Ignition on.
- Activate air conditioning (A/C) relay.
An "clicking sound" should be heard from the air conditioning (A/C) relay when it is activated.
If the air conditioning (A/C) relay is now OK it means that the cause of the fault has been loose connections in the connector.

Other information
- To access/replace the air conditioning (A/C) relay, see Integrated relay/fusebox, engine compartment, replacing Integrated Relay/Fusebox, Engine Compartment, Replacing.
- For information about signals, see Signal specification Signal Specifications.













Does the air conditioning (A/C) relay function?

Yes - FAULT FOUND

No - Checking wiring and components

-------------------------------------------------

Checking wiring and components
Check air conditioning (A/C) relay resistance. At +20 °C (68°F) the resistance should be approximately 84 ohms. For resistance values see Component specifications Specifications.
Check the signal cable between control module #B44 and air conditioning (A/C) relay #4 and the power supply between system relay #3 and A/C relay #2 for an open-circuit according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault , and a short-circuit to ground according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault.
Remedy as necessary.
