If the color used in spot channels isn't found, Illustrator displays a warning and places the file with the spot color turning black. From the Swatches Panel (Window > Swatches), open the drop down menu and choose Open Swatch Library > Color Books > to find and load the Pantone book you need.

(This process is also true for opening legacy ai/eps/pdf/indd files that contain links to such PSDs or TIFFs.)

If an identically named color is found in any of the available spot color books, the system fetches it and links to the file or opens the legacy file. When you place-link such files in an Illustrator CS6 or CC document, the system searches for the color information for spot channels in the installed Pantone Plus color books. PSD and TIFF files that contain spot channels from color books retain a link to the color book. Importing PSDs and TIFF files with spot channels containing older Pantone colors
