Repairing Manual A/C System Communication Failure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1995 Eagle Vision, 1995 Dodge Intrepid, 1995 Chrysler New Yorker, 1995 Chrysler LHS, and 1995 Chrysler Concorde. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Any engine faults present may affect operation of A/C system.
  1. Using DRB, perform ENGINE CONTROLLER SYSTEM test. If DRB displays ENGINE CONTROLLER: ACTIVE ON THE BUS, go to next step. If DRB does not display ENGINE CONTROLLER: ACTIVE ON THE BUS, go to step 3).
  2. Using DRB, read Powertrain Control Module (PCM) trouble codes. If DRB displays A/C CLUTCH RELAY CIRCUIT or other PCM trouble codes, see the G-TESTS W/CODES article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE section. Trouble code(s) is related to PCM, A/C clutch relay, or A/C clutch coil. If DRB does not display A/C CLUTCH RELAY CIRCUIT or other PCM trouble codes, go to next step.
  3. Turn ignition off. Disconnect PCM connector, located under air cleaner. DO NOT disconnect DRB from Data Link Connector (DLC). Using DVOM, measure resistance of Chrysler Collision Detection Bus (CCD Bus+) circuit (Violet/Brown wire) between PCM connector terminal No. 26 and DLC terminal No. 4. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is greater than 5 ohms, repair open CCD Bus+ circuit. Perform VERIFICATION TEST .
  4. Using a DVOM, measure resistance of CCD Bus- circuit (White/Black wire) between PCM connector terminal No. 46 and DLC terminal No. 3. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, replace PCM. Perform VERIFICATION TEST . If resistance is greater than 5 ohms, repair open in CCD Bus- circuit. Perform VERIFICATION TEST .
