REMOVAL
WARNING: On vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the airbag system before attempting any steering
wheel, steering column, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the
battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the airbag system capacitor to discharge before
performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the airbag system. Failure to
take the proper precautions could result in an accidental airbag deployment and possible personal injury or
death.

CLUTCH-A/C COMPRESSOR
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: Denso 10S17 A/C clutch assembly shown.
Visteon HS-18 compressor similar.
The A/C compressor clutch assembly consists of a
stationary electromagnetic field coil (4), bearing and
pulley assembly (3), shims (7) and a clutch plate (2)
that is splined to the compressor shaft and secured by
a bolt (1). These components provide the means to
engage and disengage the A/C compressor from the
engine accessory drive belt.
The A/C clutch bearing and pulley assembly on both
A/C compressors are retained to the front of the com-
pressor with a snap ring (6). The A/C clutch field coil
on the Denso 10S17 A/C compressor is also retained
to the front of the compressor using a snap ring (5).
The field coil on the Visteon HS-!8 compressor is
pressed onto the front of the compressor.
OPERATION
The A/C compressor clutch components provide the means to engage and disengage the A/C compressor from the
engine accessory drive belt. When the electromagnetic A/C clutch field coil is energized, it magnetically draws the
clutch plate into contact with the clutch pulley and drives the compressorshaft. When the coil is not energized, the
pulley freewheels on the clutch hub bearing, which is part of the pulley assembly.
A/C compressor clutch engagement is controlled by the powertrain controlmodule (PCM) or the engine control mod-
ule (ECM), depending on engine application. When the A/C-heater control is set to any A/C position, it sends a
request signal on the CAN-B bus to the totally integrated power module (TIPM), which then transfers the request on
the CAN-C Bus to the PCM/ECM, which determines if operating conditions arecorrect for A/C clutch engagement.
When all operating conditions have been met, the PCM/ECM sends a signal on adedicated hard-wired circuit back
to the totally integrated power module (TIPM) to energize the internal A/Cclutch high side driver. When energized,
the A/C clutch high side driver provides battery current to the A/C clutch field coil.
The A/C clutch control system is diagnosed using a scan tool (Refer to 24 - HVAC Electrical Diagnostics and to 9
- Engine Electrical Diagnostics for more information).
The A/C compressor clutch components cannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, they must be replaced.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
A/CCOMPRESSORCLUTCHCOIL
The A/C compressor clutch coil electrical circuit is controlled by the powertrain control module (PCM) or the engine
control module (ECM) (depending on engine application) through the totally integrated power module (TIPM) (Refer
to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/CONTROLS/COIL-A/C COMPRESSOR CLUTCH -OPERATION for more
information). Begin testing of a suspected compressor clutch coil problem by performing the preliminary checks.
PRELIMINARY CHECKS
1. Using a scan tool, check for diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) in the A/C-heater control, TIPM, PCM/ECM and if
equipped with the 8.3L engine, the gateway module. If no DTCs are found, go to Step 2. If any DTCs are found,
repair as required.
2. If the A/C compressor clutch still will not engage, verify the refrigerant charge level (Refer to 24 - HEATING &
AIR CONDITIONING/PLUMBING - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - REFRIGERANT SYSTEM LEAKS). If the refrig-
erant charge level is OK, go to TESTS . If the refrigerant charge level is notOK, adjust the refrigerant charge as
required.
