DESCRIPTION & OPERATION

Note. All "C" & "K" trucks use Engine Control Module (ECM), Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or Vehicle Control Module (VCM) to maintain engine idle speed during A/C compressor clutch operation. These trucks do not use ECM, PCM or VCM to control A/C compressor clutch circuit.

On vehicles without a PCM-controlled A/C compressor clutch, turning on A/C system supplies battery voltage to the A/C compressor clutch and A/C request signal terminal of Engine Control Module (ECM), Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or Vehicle Control Module (VCM). When the ECM, PCM or VCM sees battery voltage at A/C request signal terminal, it maintains idle speed. The ECM, PCM or VCM does not control A/C compressor clutch operation. An A/C pressure cycling switch is used to control A/C compressor clutch operation.
