Is there a clicking noise from the A/C compressor clutch?

YES — Reconnect all connectors, and update the ECM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-
good ECM, then recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away and the ECM was updated, troubleshooting is
complete. If the symptom/indication goes away and the ECM was substituted, replace the original ECM.■
NO — Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the A/C compressor clutch relay and the ECM. If the
connections and the terminals are OK, check the A/C compressor clutch relay. If needed, repair open in the wire
between the ECM (A14) and the A/C compressor clutch relay, and check other parts in the A/C systems.■
