P0647-HIGH VOLTAGE DETECTED AT THE A/C CLUTCH RELAY
For a complete wiring diagram Refer to Section 8W.
When Monitored:
When the ignition is on.
Set Condition:
When the signal from the A/C Clutch output does not match the signal from the A/C Clutch feedback.
Possible Causes
LOOSE CONNECTION
SHORTED TO EXTERNAL VOLTAGE
FUSED BATTERY SUPPLY
A/C CLUTCH RELAY
INTERMITTENT CONDITION
ECM
Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING)
Diagnostic Test
1. CLUTCH CLICKING
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ignition on, engine not running.
With the scan tool, actuate the A/C clutch relay.
Can you hear the Relay clicking?
Yes
Go To 2
No
Go To 3
2. LOOSE CONNECTION
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Actuation still running.
While the relay is clicking, wiggle the wiring harness and connectors throughout the circuit.
Does this interrupt the clicking?
Yes
Repair the loose connection.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 1 (DIESEL). (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES/ENGINE CONTROL MODULE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING)
No
Go To 3
3. FUSED BATTERY SUPPLY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ignition off.
Disconnect the ECM connectors.
Remove the A/C clutch relay.
NOTE: Check connectors - Clean/repair as necessary.
Ignition on, engine not running.
Measure the voltage on the Fused Battery Supply circuit between the PDC and battery negative.
Is the voltage less than 1 volt?
Yes
Go To 4
No
Repair the short to voltage.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 1 (DIESEL). (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES/ENGINE CONTROL MODULE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING)
4. A/C CLUTCH RELAY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Remove the A/C Clutch Relay from the PDC.
NOTE: Check connectors - Clean/repair as necessary.
Measure the resistance between terminals 85 and 86 of the A/C Clutch Relay.
Is the resistance less than 10 Ohms?
Yes
Go To 5
No
Replace the A/C clutch relay.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 1 (DIESEL). (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES/ENGINE CONTROL MODULE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING)
5. ECM
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reconnect the ECM harness connectors.
Reinstall the A/C clutch relay.
With the scan tool, actuate the A/C clutch relay.
Turn the ignition on.
While monitoring with the scan tool, disconnect the A/C Clutch Relay from the PDC.
Did DTC P0646 set?
Yes
Refer to the INTERMITTENT CONDITION Symptom (Diagnostic Procedure). (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING)
No
Replace the ECM.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 1 (DIESEL). (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES/ENGINE CONTROL MODULE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING)
