Re: AC Compressor only works when jumped.

You replaced the sensor and the harness at the sensor......but what if there is a wiring problem closer to the PCM or at the PCM?

You don't need a scan tool to check the signal voltage....have you checked it? If ok, then you need the scan tool to see if the PCM is reading the same thing....if there is a signal problem, causing the PCM not to ground the relay, a code should be set.....Could be P, B, or U......as the guys said, the Tech II scan tool will tell you if a code is set, if there is an AC request set, and if the PCM is commanding the AC relay on.....

Re: AC Compressor only works when jumped.

I will unhook the battery to try and clear any codes. I have not checked the signal voltage. I do not know how or where to check, or what the voltages should be.
Does the scanner have to be a tech2 or will any scanner work? I appreciate the help guys!!! I do not know much about electrical or ac. I can do everything else though. Thanks again!!!

Re: AC Compressor only works when jumped.

Once again- transducer input voltage is 5 volt, return signal voltage should vary according to pressure- but static pressure of 80 psi should yield a voltage near 1.0 volt- the other wire is ground- back probe the connector with it plugged into transducer to test. If you run the a/c return signal voltage should rise to 2-3 volts if working correctly.

Usually only a Tech II works for a/c codes- can't guarantee any others.
