Air Conditioning (A/C) Cycling Switch

The A/C cycling switch may be wired to either the ACCS or ACPSW PCM input. When the A/C cycling switch opens, the PCM will turn off the A/C clutch. For information on the specific function of the A/C cycling switch, refer to CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM - GENERAL INFORMATION . Also, refer to the SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS for vehicle specific wiring.

If the ACCS signal is not received by the PCM, the PCM circuit will not allow the A/C to operate. For additional information, refer to POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) OUTPUTS , WIDE OPEN THROTTLE A/C CUT-OFF (WAC) .

NOTE: Some applications do not have a dedicated (separate) input to the PCM indicating that A/C is requested. This information is received by the PCM through the communication link.
