―  A/C relay controlled off

Diagnostic support note

•  This is an intermittent monitor (other).

•  The check engine light does not illuminate.

•  FREEZE FRAME DATA/Snapshot data is not available.

•  DTC is not stored in the PCM memory.

FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION

•  PCM restricts engine-transaxle integration control. (ATX)

POSSIBLE CAUSE

•  A/C relay malfunction

•  IG1 relay malfunction

•  C/U IG1 15 A fuse malfunction

•  Short to ground in wiring harness between the following terminals:

―  IG1 relay terminal C—A/C relay terminal A

―  A/C relay terminal E—PCM terminal 2AQ

•  PCM connector or terminals malfunction

•  PCM malfunction

FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION	• PCM restricts engine-transaxle integration control. (ATX)
POSSIBLE CAUSE	• A/C relay malfunction • IG1 relay malfunction • C/U IG1 15 A fuse malfunction • Short to ground in wiring harness between the following terminals: ― IG1 relay terminal C—A/C relay terminal A ― A/C relay terminal E—PCM terminal 2AQ • PCM connector or terminals malfunction • PCM malfunction

Diagnostic Procedure

STEP	INSPECTION		ACTION
1	VERIFY RELATED SERVICE INFORMATION AVAILABILITY • Verify related Service Information availability. • Is any related Service Information available?	Yes	Perform repair or diagnosis according to the available Service Information. • If the vehicle is not repaired, go to the next step.
1		No	Go to the next step.
2	INSPECT A/C RELAY • Switch the ignition off. • Remove the A/C relay. (See RELAY LOCATION.) • Inspect the A/C relay. (See RELAY INSPECTION.) • Is there any malfunction?	Yes	Replace the A/C relay, then go to Step 7. (See RELAY LOCATION.)
2		No	Go to the next step.
3	INSPECT IG1 RELAY • Remove the IG1 relay. (See RELAY LOCATION.) • Inspect the IG1 relay. (See RELAY INSPECTION.) • Is there any malfunction?	Yes	Replace the IG1 relay, then go to Step 7. (See RELAY LOCATION.)
3		No	Go to the next step.
4	INSPECT C/U IG1 15 A FUSE • Remove the C/U IG1 15 A fuse. (See RELAY LOCATION.) • Inspect the C/U IG1 15 A fuse. (See RELAY INSPECTION.) • Is there any malfunction?	Yes	If the fuse is blown: • Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between C/U IG1 15 A fuse and A/C relay terminal A. If there is a common connector: ― Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to ground. ― Repair or replace the malfunctioning part. If there is no common connector: ― Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short to ground. ― Replace the fuse. If the fuse is damaged: • Replace the fuse. Go to Step 7.
4		No	Reinstall the C/U IG1 15 A fuse, then go to the next step. (See RELAY LOCATION.)
5	INSPECT A/C RELAY CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND • Verify that the A/C relay and IG1 relay are removed. • Inspect for continuity between the following terminals (wiring harness-side) and body ground: ― A/C relay terminal A ― A/C relay terminal E • Is there continuity?	Yes	If the short to ground circuit could be detected in the wiring harness: • Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between the following terminals: ― IG1 relay terminal C—A/C relay terminal A ― A/C relay terminal E—PCM terminal 2AQ If there is a common connector: ― Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to ground. ― Repair or replace the malfunctioning part. If there is no common connector: ― Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short to ground. If the short to ground circuit could not be detected in the wiring harness: • Replace the PCM (short to ground in the PCM internal circuit). (See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-D 1.5].) Go to Step 7.
5		No	Go to the next step.
6	INSPECT PCM CONNECTOR CONDITION • Disconnect the PCM connector. • Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion). • Is there any malfunction?	Yes	Repair or replace the connector and/or terminals, then go to the next step.
6		No	Go to the next step.
7	VERIFY DTC TROUBLESHOOTING COMPLETED • Always reconnect all disconnected connectors. • Clear the DTC from the PCM memory using the M-MDS. (See AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE [SKYACTIV-D 1.5].) • Start the engine. • Turn the air conditioner on and off. • Perform the DTC Reading Procedure. (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST [SKYACTIV-D 1.5].) • Is the same DTC present?	Yes	Repeat the inspection from Step 1. • If the malfunction recurs, replace the PCM. (See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-D 1.5].) Go to the next step.
7		No	Go to the next step.
8	VERIFY AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE • Perform the “AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE”. (See AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE [SKYACTIV-D 1.5].) • Are any DTCs present?	Yes	Go to the applicable DTC inspection. (See DTC TABLE [SKYACTIV-D 1.5].)
8		No	DTC troubleshooting completed.
