A/C ON (A/C Request) Switch Test

1992 Chevrolet Cavalier RS, 2D Convertible, 2.2 4, StandardSECTION A/C ON (A/C Request) Switch Test
  1. Start engine and allow to idle. If a "Scan" tester is available, scan A/C request parameter. Move A/C mode selector back and forth between ON and OFF positions. Scan status should change.
  2. If "Scan" tester is not available or scan status does not change, measure voltage between ground and ECM A/C request terminal. For wiring schematics, see mini-schematics in A/C CLUTCH  under MISCELLANEOUS CONTROLS.
  3. With A/C mode selector in the ON position, 12 volts should be present. If 12 volts are not present, check for open between A/C mode select switch and ECM A/C request terminal, low A/C refrigerant level causing low pressure switch to open, bad A/C fuse or bad A/C mode select switch.
