A/C Signal: Description and Operation

The A/C compressor clutch operation is monitored by the CIS-E Motronic control unit. When the A/C compressor clutch is engaged, the CIS-E Motronic control unit changes the output signal to the idle stabilizer valve to compensate for the additional load placed on the engine.
