Pinpoint Test V : P193E: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Refer to Automatic Climate Control System for schematic and connector information.
Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
The PCM controls the A/C compressor clutch field coil based on messages received from the BCM over the HS-CAN. When the HVAC control module determines it is necessary to activate the A/C compressor, either due to driver request or due to automatic climate control settings, the HVAC control module sends a message to the BCM over the MS-CAN, the BCM then sends a message to the PCM to activate the A/C compressor.
An internal failure of the PCM, BCM or HVAC control module; or an failure in the MS-CAN or HS-CAN causes the PCM to set a DTC.
DTC Fault Trigger Conditions
| DTC | Description | Fault Trigger Conditions |
