Engine Controls - System/component Tests: Diagnosis Hyundai Sonata III

A/C System Inspection

1. Inspect fuses No. 1, 12 and 18. Replace faulty fuses as needed. Remove A/C relay. Turn ignition on. Using DVOM, measure voltage between relay receptacle terminal No. 4 (Red/White wire) and vehicle ground. If voltage is less than battery voltage, inspect and repair circuit as needed.
2. Connect jumper wire between relay receptacle terminal No. 4 (Red/White Wire) and terminal No. 2 (Blue/Yellow wire). Compressor clutch should engage. If clutch engages, go to step 4). If clutch does not engage, disconnect harness connector at compressor clutch. Using DVOM, measure voltage between connector terminal No. 2 (Blue/Yellow wire) and vehicle ground.
3. If voltage is less than battery voltage, inspect and repair circuit as needed. If voltage is within specification, inspect and repair A/C compressor clutch as needed. See the A/C COMPRESSOR SERVICING article.
4. Measure voltage between relay receptacle No. 1 (Black/White wire) and vehicle ground. If voltage is less than battery voltage, inspect and repair circuit as needed. Perform continuity check on A/C relay. See the A/C-HEATER SYSTEM article. Replace relay as needed.
5. Turn on A/C and blower switch. Using DVOM, measure voltage between ECM harness connector terminal No. 6 on 4-cyl. (Black/White wire), or terminal No. 12 on V6 (Light/Green/Black wire) and vehicle ground. (Схема №1)and (Схема №2). If voltage is less than battery voltage, go to step 6). If battery voltage is present, substitute ECM with known good unit and retest system.
6. Turn ignition off. Connect ECM harness connector. Disconnect low pressure switch harness connector. Turn on A/C and blower switch. Using DVOM, measure voltage between pressure switch harness connector terminal No. 2 (Black/Red wire) and vehicle ground.
7. If voltage is less than battery voltage, go to step 10). If battery voltage is present, turn ignition off. Connect jumper wire between low pressure switch terminals. Start engine. Turn on A/C and blower motor switches. If compressor does not operate, inspect and repair circuit between pressure switch and ECM terminal No. 6 on 4-cyl. or terminal No. 12 on V6.
8. If compressor operates, remove jumper wire and connect pressure switch harness connector. If compressor fails to continue to operate, check A/C system refrigerant charge. See the A/C-HEATER SYSTEM article. Ensure all safety procedures are followed. If refrigerant level is okay, replace low pressure switch and recheck system.
9. Turn ignition off. Connect low pressure switch harness connector. Disconnect thermostat switch harness connector. Connect jumper wire between thermostat switch terminals. Start engine. Turn on A/C and blower switches. If compressor does not operate, inspect and repair circuit between pressure switch and ECM terminal No. 6 or 12.
10. If compressor operates, remove jumper wire and connect thermostat switch harness connector. Retest system. Replace thermostat switch if compressor will not engage. If after all testing procedures have been completed, system is still inoperative, substitute ECM with known good unit and retest.

A/C System Scan Test Procedure

Access service data item No. 28. Scan tester should display switch position. With engine running, scan tester display should match A/C switch position. Access service date item No. 49. Scan tester should display A/C compressor. With engine running, scan tester display should match A/C switch position.

System Test

1. Disconnect Red-striped vacuum hose between throttle body and purge control solenoid valve at throttle body. Connect a hand-held vacuum pump to disconnected vacuum hose. Plug nipple on throttle body where vacuum hose was removed.
2. With engine at idle and engine coolant temperature at 140°F (60°C) or less on 4-cylinder or 104°F (40°C) or less on V6, apply 7.3 in. Hg vacuum. Vacuum should hold. Raise engine speed to 3000 RPM, and again apply 7.3 in. Hg vacuum. Vacuum should hold.
3. With engine at idle and coolant temperature at 158°F (70°C) or more on 4-cylinder or 176°F (80°C) or more on V6, apply 7.3 in. Hg vacuum. Vacuum should hold. Turn engine off. Start engine, and apply vacuum, within 3 minutes of starting engine. Vacuum should bleed down.
4. With engine running for more than 3 minutes after starting, raise engine speed to 3000 RPM and apply 7.3 in. Hg. Vacuum should hold momentarily and then bleed down.
