Compressor And Magnetic Clutch: Inspection

  1. INSPECT COMPRESSOR AND MAGNETIC CLUTCH (A/C LOCK SENSOR) 
    1. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance 

      COMPRESSOR AND MAGNETIC CLUTCH (A/C LOCK SENSOR

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      1 - 2 Always (at 20°C (68°F)) 165 to 205 Ω

      If the resistance is not as specified, replace the compressor and magnetic clutch.

    2. When connector terminal 1 is connected to the positive (+) battery terminal, check that the following occurs: 1) the magnetic clutch's operating sound can be heard, and 2) the magnetic clutch's hub and rotor lock.

      OK: 

      1): The magnetic clutch's operating sound can be heard. 

      2): The magnetic clutch's hub and rotor lock. 

      If the result is not as specified, replace the magnetic clutch.
