P0646


A/C Relay Circuit. Short to Ground/Open.


Fault symptoms


A/C not working. No cooling.


On-Board Diagnostics

Type of diagnosis:


- Continuous.


Enable criteria:


- Ignition ON.

- Battery voltage should be 10.2-15.8 V.

- No A/C request.


Fault criteria:


- The voltage on the input is less than 20% of the battery voltage for more than 3.5 s. (Battery voltage x 0.2 = fault criterion.)


Dependents:


- None.


System reaction to a fault:


- No cooling available and engine management system ignores A/C request from DICE.


OK report:


- The voltage on the input is greater than 20% of the battery voltage for more than 3.5 s. See fault criteria


Fault handling: (See section Fault handling III, other emissions-related components and functions for more information)


- Type III.


Diagnostic help

Fault diagnosis concerns an electrical fault in connecting leads or in the sensor.

Functions in the diagnostic tool related to the fault:


- Activate: AC Relay


See also the description of activations under "Activate" menu for more information.

Checking the wiring

Jiggle the wiring harness at several points and in different directions to detect intermittent breaks and short circuits. Observe the multimeter, diagnostic tool or test lamp during the check.
