Compressor Magnetic Clutch Circuit



Circuit Description
The air conditioning control assembly outputs the magnetic clutch ON signal from terminal MGC to the ECM. When the ECM receives this signal, it sends a signal from terminal ACMG and switches the air conditioning magnetic clutch relay on, thus turning the air conditioning compressor magnetic clutch on. The air conditioning control assembly also monitors at terminal A/C IN whether or not power is being supplied to the magnetic clutch.
