With Automatic Climate Control
TROUBLE DIAGNOSES PROCEDURE FOR MAGNET CLUTCHSymptom:
- Magnet clutch does not engage.
Inspection Flow:
CONTROL SYSTEM OUTPUT COMPONENTS
Magnet Clutch Control
Under normal operating conditions, when the A/C is switched on, the compressor runs continuously, and the evaporator pressure, and therefore temperature, is controlled by the V-6 variable displacement compressor to prevent freeze up.
Acceleration Cut Control
The ECM will turn the compressor ON or OFF based on the signal from the throttle position sensor.
