Signal Missing - Permanent Fault






Signal missing. Permanent fault

Checking the connector








- Ignition off
- Check the air conditioning (A/C) relay connector. Check for contact resistance and oxidation
- Reinstall the components, reconnect the connectors etc.
- Ignition on
- Activate the air conditioning (A/C) relay.
A " clicking sound" should be heard when the air conditioning (A/C) relay is activated.
If the air conditioning (A/C) relay is now OK, the cause of the fault was loose connections in the connector.

- For information about signals on 5 cylinder engines, see Signal specification Signal Description / Specification
- For information about signals on 6 cylinder engines, see Signal specification Signal Description / Specification
- Checking wiring and terminals Checking Wiring And Terminals.













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

Yes - Fault Found

No - Checking components and wiring

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

Checking components and wiring
Check the resistance of the air conditioning (A/C) relay. At +20°C the resistance must be approximately 96 ohms between terminals #2 and #4. For the resistance values, see Component specifications Specifications.
Check the signal cable between control module terminal #B44 and air conditioning (A/C) relay terminal #4. Check the power supply between system relay terminal #3 and A/C relay terminal #2. Check for an open-circuit. Check for a short-circuit to ground.
Remedy as necessary.
