COMPRESSOR  NOISE  CHECK
You  must  first  know  the  conditions  when  the  noise  occurs.  These  conditions  are:  weather,  vehicle  speed,
in  gear  or  neutral,  engine  temperature  or  any  other  special  conditions.
Noises  that  develop  during  A/C  operation  can  often  be  misleading.  For  example:  what  sounds  like  a
failed  front  bearing  or  connecting  rod,  may  be  caus ed  by  loose  bolts,  nuts,  mounting  brackets,  or  a
loose  clutch  assembly.  Verify  accessory  drive  belt  tension  (power  steering  or  generator).
Improper  accessory  drive  belt  tension  can  cause  a  m isleading  noise  when  the  compressor  is  engaged
and  little  or  no  noise  when  the  compressor  is  disen gaged.
Drive  belts  are  speed-sensitive.  That  is,  at  differ ent  engine  speeds,  and  depending  upon  belt  tension,
belts  can  develop  unusual  noises  that  are  often  mis taken  for  mechanical  problems  within  the  compressor .
ADJUSTMENT
1.  Select  a  quiet  area  for  testing.  Duplicate  conditions  as  much  as  possible.  Switch  compressor  on
and off several times to clearly identify compresso r noise. To duplicate high ambient 
head  pressure),  restrict  air  flow  through  condenser .  Install  manifold  gauge  set   sure  discharge
pressure  doesn’t  exceed  2,070   (300  psi).
2.  Tighten  all  compressor  mounting  bolts,  clutch  mo unting  bolt,  and  compressor  drive  belt.  Check  to
assure  clutch  coil  is  tight  (no  rotation  or  wobble) .
3.  Check  refrigerant  hoses  for  rubbing  or  interfere nce  that  can  cause  unusual  noises.
4.  Check  refrigerant  charge.  (Refer  to 
5.  Recheck  compressor  noise  as  in  Step  1. 
6.  If  noise  still  exists,  loosen  compressor  mountin g  bolts  and  retorque.  Repeat  Step  1.
7.  If  noise  continues,  replace  compressor  and  repea t  Step  1.

  AIR  GAP  ADJUSTMENT
Check  whether  or  not  the  air  gap  of  the  clutch  is  w ithin  the
standard  value.
Standard  value:   mm 
NOTE
If  there  is  a  deviation  of  the  air  gap  from  the   value,
make the necessary adjustment by adjusting the numb er of
shims.
INSPECTION
lCheck the  of the armature for scoring or bluing.
lCheck  the  surface  of  the  rotor  for  scoring  or  bluing.
l  Check  the  sealing  surfaces  for  cracks,  scratches  an d
