ACTUATOR CHECK
1. After entering the sensor check mode, press the R/F switch.
2. Turn the temperature set dial and change it to step operation.
Each time the dial is turned, the actuator operation changes
by 1 step.
HINT:
wCheck the change of actuator operation visually and by
hand.
wTo cancel the check mode, press the OFF switch. AC±22

Blinking Light FRS Pressure Switch Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The pressure switch sends the appropriate signals to the A/C amplifier when the air conditioning refrig-
erant pressure drops too low or rises too high. When the A/C amplifier receives these signals, it outputs
signals via the ECM to switch OFF the compressor relay and turns the magnetic clutch OFF.

Compressor Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The A/C amplifier outputs the magnetic clutch ON signal from terminal MGC to the ECM. When the ECM re-
ceives this signal, it sends a signal from terminal ACMG and switches the air conditioning magnetic clutch relay
ON, thus turning the air conditioning compressor magnetic clutch ON.

DRIVE BELT TENSION INSPECTION
1. INSPECT DRIVE BELT'S INSTALLATION CONDITION
Check that drive belt fits properly in the ribbed grooves.
2. INSPECT DRIVE BELT TENSION
Check that the tension is within A range on the auto tensioner
scale.
If the tension is not within the A range on the scale, replace
the belt with a new one.
HINT: When replacing the drive belt with a new one, the belt's
tension should be within the B range on the belt tensioner
scale.
