COMPRESSOR AND MAGNETIC
CLUTCH
ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. INSPECT COMPRESSOR FOR METALLIC SOUND
Check there is abnormal metallic sound from the compressor
when the A/C switch is ON.
If abnormal metallic sound is heard, replace the compressor as-
sembly.
2. INSPECT REFRIGERANT PRESSURE
(See page AC-3)
3. INSPECT VISUALLY FOR LEAKAGE OF REFRIGER-
ANT
Using a gas leak detector, check for leakage of refrigerant.
If there is any leakage, replace the compressor assembly.
4. INSPECT COMPRESSOR LOCK SENSOR RESIS-
TANCE
(a) Disconnect the connector.
(b) Measure resistance between terminals 1 and 2.
Standard resistance:
160 - 210 W at 20°C (68°F)
If resistance is not as specified, replace the sensor.
5. MAKE THESE VISUAL CHECKS:
(a) Leakage of grease from the clutch bearing
(b) Signs of oil on the pressure plate or rotor
6. INSPECT MAGNETIC CLUTCH BEARING FOR NOISE
(a) Start engine.
(b) Check for abnormal noise from the compressor when the
A/C switch is OFF.
If abnormal noise is being emitted, replace the magnetic clutch.
7. INSPECT MAGNETIC CLUTCH OPERATION
(a) Disconnect the connector.
(b) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
4 and the negative (-) lead to the body ground.
(c) Check that the magnetic clutch energized.
If operation is not as specified, replace the magnetic clutch.

REMOVAL
1. DISCONNECT REFRIGERANT FROM REFRIGERA-
TION SYSTEM
HINT:
At the time of installation, please refer to the following item.
Evacuate air from refrigeration system.
Charge system with refrigerant and inspect for leakage of refrig-
erant.
Specified amount: 700 ± 50 g (24.69 ± 1.76 oz.)
2. REMOVE PRESSURE SWITCH FROM LIQUID TUBE
Disconnect the connector and remove the pressure switch.
Torque: 10 N´m (100 kgf´cm, 7 ft´lbf)
HINT:
Lock the switch mounted on the tube with an open end
wrench, being careful not to deform the tube and remove
the switch.
At the time of installation, please refer to the following
item.
Lubricate a new O-ring with the compressor oil and install
the switch.

13. INSPECT LOW OIL PRESSURE SWITCH CONTINUITY
(a) Check that there is continuity between terminal and
ground with the engine stopped.
(b) Check that there is no continuity between terminal and
ground with the engine running.
HINT:
Oil pressure should be over 29 kPa (0.3 kgf/cm
2, 4.3 psi)
If operation is not as specified, replace the switch.
14. INSPECT LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT
(a) Disconnect the connector from the warning switch and
ground terminal on the wire harness side connector.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON, check that the warning light
lights up.
If the warning light does not light up, test the bulb or inspect wire
harness.
15. INSPECT ENGINE OIL LEVEL WARNING SWITCH
CONTINUITY
(a) Check that there is continuity between terminal with the
switch in each position.
(b) Heat the switch to above 60°C (140°F) in an oil bath.
(c) Check that there is continuity between terminals with the
switch ON (float up).
(d) Check that there is no continuity between terminals with
the switch OFF (float down).
If operation is not as specified, replace the switch.
16. INSPECT ENGINE OIL LEVEL WARNING LIGHT
(a) Disconnect the connector from the switch.
(b) Ground terminal 1 on the wire harness connector.
(c) Turn the ignition switch ON. Check that the warning light
lights up approximately 40 seconds later.
If the warning light does not light up, inspect bulb or wire har-
ness.
