MAGNET CLUTCH

Description

Magnet clutch drives a compressor, by a signal of IPDM E/R.


Component Function Check


1. CONFIRM SYMPTOM BY PERFORMING THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONAL CHECK

1.Press AUTO switch.
2.Display should indicate AUTO. Confirm that the magnet clutch engages (sound or visual inspection). (Discharge air and blower speed depend on ambient, in-vehicle and set temperatures.)
Does the magnet clutch operate?
YES- END.
NO- Go to Diagnosis Procedure. Refer to "Diagnosis Procedure" .
