1)During m.y. 1996, Nippondenso type A/C compressors were installed as a running change. These compressors are not
equipped with A/C speed sensor G111. DTC at A/C Clutch -N25- are only detected only on compressors equipped with A/C
Compressor speed sensor G111.
2)Sender G111 produces 4 pulses for each compressor revolution.
3)A/C Clutch is switched on for a few seconds after engine starts.

3) If speed difference is 30 % to 60 %, A/C Clutch is switched on again by -E87- for not more than 9 times during a driving
period (ignition off). If speed difference is greater than 60 %, A/C Clutch remains off until engine is started again.
