When the refrigerant pressure is below 200 kPa (2.0
kgllcm,, 28 psi) due to refrigerant leakage or above 3,'100kPa (32 kgtcm,,460 psi) due to relrigerant blockage, theA,/C pressure sw;tch opens the circuit to the A,/C switch andstops the air conditioning to protect the compressor.

NOTE: The diode is designed to pass current in one
direction while blocking it in the opposite direction.
Use an analog ohmmeter, or a digital ohmmeter
equipped with a diode tester.
Check for current flow in both directions between the A
and B, and B and C terminals. There should be current
flow in only one direction.

Dellection Method
1. Apply a force of 98 N i10 kgf, 22 lbf), and measure
the deflection between the A,/C compressor and the
crankshaft pullev.
A/C Compressor Belt
Used Belt: 7.5 - 9.5 mm (0.30 - 0.37 in)
New Beli: 5.0 - 7.0 mm (0.20 - 0.28 in)
Power Steering Pump Belt
Used Bslt: 11.5 - 13.5 mm (0.i15 - 0.53 in)
New Belt: 8.0 - 10.0 mm (0.31 - 0.39 in)
NOTE:
. lf there are cracks or any damage evident on the
belt, replace it with a new one.
. "Used belt" means a belt which has been used
for five minutes or more.
. "New belt" means a belt which has been used
for less than five minutes.
Loosen the adjust pulley bracket pivot bolt and the
adjusting bolt lock nut of the lVC compressor belt.
Turn the adjusting bolt to get proper belt tension,
then retighten the adjust pulley bracket pivot bolt
and the adjusting bolt lock nut.
Recheck the deflection of the Ay'C compressor belt.
