MAGNET CLUTCH
MAGNET CLUTCH
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000003775369
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The A/C auto amp. controls compressor operation
based on ambient and intake temperature and a signal
from ECM.
Low Temperature Protection Control
The A/C auto amp. will turn the compressor ON or O FF as determined by a signal detected by the intake sen-
sor and the ambient sensor.
When intake air temperature is higher than the preset va lue, the compressor turns ON. The compressor turns
OFF when intake air temperature is lower than the pres et value. That preset value is dependent on the ambi-
ent temperature, refer to the following table.
Magnet Clutch Com ponent Function CheckINFOID:0000000003775370
INSPECTION FLOW
1.CONFIRM SYMPTOM BY PERFORMING OP ERATIONAL CHECK - MAGNET CLUTCH
1. Turn ignition switch ON.
2. Press the A/C switch.
3. Press vent switch ( ).
4. Display shows , A/C. Confirm that the compress or clutch engages (sound or visual inspection). (Dis-
charge air and blower speed will depend on ambi ent, in-vehicle and set temperatures.)
Can the symptom be duplicated?
YES >> GO TO 3.
NO >> GO TO 2.
2.CHECK FOR ANY SYMPTOMS
Perform a complete operational check for any symptoms. Refer to HAC-4, "
Operational Check (Front)".
Does another symptom exist?
YES >> Refer to HAC-3, "How to Perform Trouble Diagnosis For Quick And Accurate Repair".
NO >> System OK.
3.CHECK FOR SERVICE BULLETINS
Check for any service bulletins.
>> GO TO 4.
4.PERFORM SELF-DIAGNOSIS
Perform self-diagnosis to check for any codes. Refer to HAC-23, "
A/C Auto Amp. Self-Diagnosis".
Are any self-diagnosis codes present?
YES >> Refer to HAC-24, "A/C System Self-Diagnosis Code Chart".
NO >> GO TO 5.
5.CHECK AMBIENT SENSOR
Check and verify ambient sensor circuit. Refer to HAC-79, "
Ambient Sensor Diagnosis Procedure".
